AYU MBOK
The crown prince

"What?? who's Liodra!?"

Murmured Neneng, while holding his lips, he had ge er with the attitude of the crown prince sweet towards him, he had baperr, his feelings had floated into space.

But his hand fell, when the crown prince called a woman's name other than himself right after he kissed her.

Which woman is not hurt,,,, which is,,,

Neneng recalled, Liodra was the fiancee of the long-dead Crown Prince.

"So the crown prince kissed me because he thought I was his fiancee?!Ck, ikk,,!fate fate! after all, maybe a crown prince would like a servant like me!"

Murmured Neneng while walking towards the Prince's palace following the steps of the courtiers who prepared to serve food for the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, your food is ready! please eat, Mother Queen deliberately cooks your own favorite food!"

Pakde Karwo said while telling the courtiers to serve food in front of the crown prince.

The food is so many and complete, the aroma is really appetizing, making the stomach of Neneng who has not been filled since it became more and more keroncong.

But unlike the Crown Prince, it seems he does not taste food, even though in front of his favorite food is available.

"Eat Your Majesty, your body is getting thinner day by day, Kanjeng the Queen and His Majesty are very worried about the state of the Prince if it continues like this!"Pakde Karwo tried to persuade him.

But the crown prince just stared at the food in front of him while sighing deeply, he just stirred his stirring for a while and then put again his spoon.

"Cruck crutches!"There was the sound of someone's stomach apparently starving.

All the Abdi Dalem who were still there turned to the direction of the voice, apparently it was the voice of Neneng's stomach which was already very rumbling.

Neneng was just a whimper while holding his stomach, the crown prince only shook his head to see Neneng's unrelenting behavior made a silliness.

"You can all go!"Said the crown prince to all his courtiers.

Pakde Karwo gestured for all of them to come out immediately, as well as Neneng, he walked the last because he stood at the end.

"Hey you, except you! stay here and accompany me to eat!"The crown prince deliberately prevented Neneng's steps from coming out of his room.

"I am Your Majesty?!Well, Your Majesty, why do I continue anyway, from earlier even I have not eaten, please Your Majesty, release me this time!"Neneng whine with a funny face like a cat.

"You dare to refute my word?!come and sit by me!"The crown prince held back his laughter.

I don't know, why the time with Neneng his mood is always good.

Neneng could no longer refute him, with a listless bow he walked back to the crown prince who was facing his dishes.

Neneng's saliva even almost dripped seeing the various foods that were presented before him, various unique foods that he had never eaten.

It looks like this typical Javanese food commonly eaten by the Nobles.

"Your Majesty, Do you have trouble sleeping every night, and you also have bad dreams often?!"Neneng asked after noticing the crown prince's face which looked pale, gloomy and had a black line under his eyes.

"How did you know?!"The crown prince asked.

"You also have trouble swallowing food and never have a taste for food?!"Neneng instead asked again without answering the crown prince's question.

"Yes, that's how it is, when sometimes my stomach hurts from hunger, but it's hard to swallow any food!"The crown prince replied lethargicly.

"Ohh, what a pity!though this food must be very good and many people out there are starving because they have no food!"Said Neneng from the sound alone, he stared hungry at the food presented.

"Do you know what I told you to do here?!"Asked the crown prince while smiling amusedly looking at Neneng who could not bear to hold his hungry stomach.

Neneng just shook his head weakly.

"What's!?Your Majesty, don't dong Your Majesty!What if there is poison?I could die dong!Where I haven't married yet!Oh, God, fate, fate!How gini is so!"Whining Neneng while parsing, his face looks funny makes the crown prince more anxious to see her.

"But it is your duty as a courtier, otherwise you will be tortured for not obeying the royal rules!"Said the crown prince scaring nakuti Neneng.

With forced Neneng tasted all the food presented one by one.

Since it was felt that nothing had happened when he ate the food, he was even more greedy to eat all the food available while occasionally feeding the Crown Prince.

"This food is delicious Your Majesty Let's try it!"said Neneng while bribing him many times.

The crown prince looked so good to eat with Neneng that there was not a single meal left.

"Youuu!So full of it! The food is good, isn't it Your Majesty!?"Neneng said as he rubbed his stomach which was already full of food.

"For a long time I didn't taste this good food!"Said the Prince while stretching his body so full.

"You will start to sleep soundly from this moment on Your Majesty! I often have meals with you, Your Majesty!"Said Neneng shamelessly.

"Thank you for making me eat comfortably, Oh yeah, even I don't know your name yet, what's your name?!"Ask the crown prince to rise from his lying place.

"Just call me Ayu Your Majesty, please take your time to rest now!"Neneng said while cleaning the dining table they used to eat.

"But I'm not sleepy yet, is there any way I can sleep well every night?"

"You know the shadow of Liodra always ringing in my head when I sleep, he always asks me for help with the blood that flows from his mouth, it's what frustrates me,I don't think he'll leave quietly before his killer is revealed!"The crown prince recalled Liodra, whose fiancee one year ago was found hanged in his room, The crown prince did not believe the woman he loved most did such a thing,he believes Liodra was killed by someone who didn't like him.

Liodra is not from among the Javanese tribal nobility, she is an ordinary woman of Batak descent, although both her parents are businessmen, but still the royal officials oppose the relationship of the crown prince with her, they wanted the crown prince to marry the woman the kingdom had prepared for him, but the harsh nature of the crown prince dragged Liodra into a tragic death.

Since then the crown prince became weak and not passionate about living life, he was more often drunk and did not care anymore about his position as Crown Prince.

Kanjeng Ratu who was very worried about the condition of his son, he immediately sent him abroad for his psychological treatment under the pretext of studying at a university in England.

Now that he has returned, his condition has not changed.

But now that he had met Neneng, there was an implied cheerfulness despite a drop in him, he was like rediscovering the color of his life.

"How about we take a short walk in search of His Majesty's fresh air??"

Neneng offered his opinion.

"Well, let's walk for a while!"

The crown prince said as he got up and put on some pretty thick clothes.

"He ate all his food?!"the servants whispered as soon as they saw that the food served to the crown prince was gone.

"Gee,great!what did Ayu do to the Crown Prince? after a long time of cooking for the Crown Prince was never eaten, now he finally wants to finish all his food!"Said the others, all Abdialem was astonished because the crown prince finally wanted to eat too.

...****************...

"Your Highness, what if you exercise, look, your body is so thin that it's so powerless, that a prince's body should still contain like that of Grand Prince Satria, look he's so mighty!"Neneng said heats up the crown prince's manation to want to move again and his passion back fresh and full of enthusiasm.

"What did you say?! You said my body was skinny! You said Satria's body was better than mine!?"The crown prince was inflamed hearing Neneng's impassioned speech.

"Do you not see it, look at the body of Grand Prince Satria! his body looks muscular and very sturdy!wahhh really is the dream of all women!"Said Neneng while watching Prince Satria who was practicing the sword with his bodyguards, his flirtatious eyes seemed to sparkle at Prince Satria, making the crown prince resentful towards him.

The crown prince approached Satria, taking the sword from the guards' hands and pointing it at the prince's neck.

"Fight me, Satria!we'll see who's better!"
