Voices From Other Realms

Last full night

Asmita became the favorite of Raden Prana, every afternoon Raden Prana will quickly return home to meet the beautiful baby.

Raden Prana's love for Arum is growing.

Raden Prana feels his life is more complete with the presence of Asmita.

Today is a month after Arum gave birth, and tonight is exactly the night of the full moon.

Arum will look for the last tumbar to make the final payment of his agreement with Kanji's grandmother.

This afternoon Asmita behaved uncharacteristically, she became very fussy.

Asmita does not want to be separated from Arum's sling, he always whines.

Raden Prana looks anxious, he wants to hold Asmita, but his little baby somehow today does not want to be carried by Raden Prana.

He would cry when he changed hands from Arum.

"Is he not feeling well anymore?" ask Arum worriedly.

"Kangmas will tell the waiter to call Ki Randu" replied Raden Prana.

Raden Prana then told one of his male servants to call his family's longtime physician, Ki Randu to come to his house.

"Go and take a horse-drawn carriage to pick up Ki Randu, hurry up..," orders Raden Prana who worries his beloved little princess.

The waiter rushed off to pick up Ki Randu.

Asmita whined, Arum hugged the baby anxiously.

"What's up, baby? stop whining..." Arum wiggled his baby and sang a song to calm his whining.

"Asmita's body is rather hot Kangmas," Arum held Asmita's forehead.

"Bring him to Arum's room, I'll take the shallots in the kitchen" Raden Prana told him.

Raden Prana told his servant to peel the onion and crush the onion.

When it was finished, Raden Prana brought the onion into the room.

Arum laid Asmita to the bed, Asmita immediately cried as soon as she was released from Arum's sling.

"Open Arum's bed" asked Raden Prana.

Raden Prana rubbed red onions into Asmita's body after her bedong was opened by Arum.

The baby girl continued to cry, Raden Prana hastened her activities.

When he finished, Arum immediately carried Asmita back.

The baby immediately stopped crying after Arum held him, only his whimper was left.

"Ki Randu was a long time Kangmas," Arum who worried about Asmita was impatient.

"Prophe Arum.Maybe Ki Randu is still treating others," Raden Prana who is also anxious calms Arum.

"Give him Arum's milk, maybe Asmita will stop whining" Raden Prana told him.

Arum tried to breastfeed Asmita but Asmita refused.

He shakes his head and does not want to suck.

"Asmita does not want Kangmas..," said Arum.

"Yes, just hug him.he seems to feel comfortable in your arms," said Raden Prana.

After a long time, Ki Randu and the housekeeper Arum are still not there.

Arum is getting anxious, Asmita still hasn't slept and is still whining.

Arum sat on the bed holding Asmita to relieve his fatigue.

Raden Prana faithfully accompanied Arum by his side.

"Maybe be able to ask for help Nyi Sowa Kangmas," said Arum just remembered Paga Nyi Sowa.

Raden Prana asks his house maid for help from Nyi Sowa.

"Say Asmita is fussy and her body is a little hot." said Raden Prana.

"Say also Ki Randu has not come, maybe Nyi Sowa can give you a potion," added Raden Prana.

"Well, Raden." answered the maid.

Raden Prana returns to the room to accompany Arum to look after their daughter.

"Raden, Nyi Sowa is not at home.she is going to help one of the residents who want to give birth," the maid told.

"Why is there such a coincidence?" ask Raden Prana.

"Come on Raden." replied the maid.

"Yes, please you wait in front ..if Ki Randu has come directly tell me to come here," ordered Raden Prana.

"Well, Raden," the waiter retreated to wait for Ki Randu's arrival.

At midnight, Ki Randu arrived at Raden Prana's house.

He was ushered by the housemaid into the rooms of Raden Prana and Arum.

Arum looked very tired, his eyes were holding back the drowsiness.

"Sorry Raden I arrived late, I had to go to treat some people who were also sick again" he said.

"It's okay Ki, please check on our baby Ki Randu immediately" said Raden Prana.

"Is his body hot?" ask Ki Randu before touching Asmita.

"Yes Ki, his body is a bit hot" replied Raden Prana.

"I've guessed, babies this age if fussy usually stomach problems, or because the body is hot." Ki Randu then examine the tiny body of the beautiful baby.

"His stomach is fine, the heat can be from his sore throat," explained Ki Randu.

"Please let her go in Gusti Ayu's bed.Let me check more thoroughly," asked Ki Randu.

Asmita cried again, she opened her mouth and the opportunity for Ki Randu to see her tongue and her mouth.

"Had I guessed, Raden's son must have sore throat.I've prepared the potion," Ki Randu opened the bag he carried.

"Just brew it with a little hot water, then mix cold water.immediately drink," said Ki Randu.

"I wait in front of Raden.after the baby Raden taking medicine.we wait for his reaction," Ki Randu then paused to wait in the living room.

Raden Prana himself who brewed the drug for Asmita, after it was ready he immediately spooned ya with heart into the mouth of Asmita.

"You lie down, you look very tired and sleepy.I will take care of Asmita.Lagian Ki Randu is still waiting for his medicinal reaction," asked Raden Prana.

Arum who was very tired then laid his body while hugging Asmita.

After taking the medicine for a while, Asmita looked sleepy, the little baby closed his eyes.

Raden Prana touches Asmita's forehead.

"The heat has gone down" Raden Prana whispered to Arum.

Arum's heart, which had been very anxious, became calm, he began to close his eyes.

Arum then fell asleep, because he was busy taking care of Asmita who was sick Arum so forgot his last task of looking for a collision for Grandma Kanji.

Raden Prana then met Ki Randu who was still sitting waiting.

"Thank you Ki Randu, my baby is asleep and the heat has gone down" Raden Prana gave some silver pieces to Ki Randu.

"Always mostly Raden..," said Ki Randu.

"Not most Ki.this is midnight..," replied Raden Prana smiling.

"Think the potion I gave you three times a day until it runs out" Ki Randu said.

"Okay Ki.my servant will take Ki Randu back," said Raden Prana.

"Thank you Raden" said Ki Randu.

Ki Randu then farewell and delivered by the male servant Raden Prana who had picked up Ki Randu.

Raden Prana then closed the door, then returned to the room slowly.

Raden Prana is afraid to wake up Arum and Asmita who are already fast asleep.

The forbidden forest....

"Hi..hi.you forgot the last duty I gave you...today I was very hungry and thirsty..."

"Please wait for my punishment for daring to neglect your duty" Grandma Kanji's eyes flashed with anger....

The moonlight is not very visible because it hides behind dark clouds.

The wind blew fiercely.feeling the cold encircled the surroundings, accompanying the gripping atmosphere within the forbidden forest...
