AYU MBOK
Crown Princess selection

Today the crown prince looks somber, all day he does not talk much and just silence with his face bent, even he did not taste to eat, until the courtiers confusion made.

Ever since he saw Neneng cuddling with his sister, his mind had become chaotic and uninspired to do anything.

his brain was filled with various ugliness about what they were doing behind him all this time, his eyes were so dim, he felt betrayed.

"Araghhh!prang prangs!"

The crown prince rampaged in his residence, the glasses and plates flew to a mess thrown by him.

"Your Majesty, what happened!?Pakde Karwo who just arrived was shocked by the sudden behavior of the crown prince like that, his hands covered with blood due to broken glass, Pakde Karwo immediately caught something must happen between the Crown Prince and Neneng.

If it wasn't for love, what could make someone go crazy?

"Tell the servant what really happened Your Majesty, maybe the servant can help you!"Pakde Karwo said so worried, he sat the crown prince on his bed, then cleaned his wounds and treated him.

"Can you do something for me?!"Ask the crown prince

"It is with pleasure, Your Majesty!" Pakde Karwo replied as he bowed respectfully, he had just finished dressing the Crown Prince's wound.

"Set in order for Satria to be immediately sent abroad to do studies or whatever the reason is up to you, the important thing is that he must be kept away from

palace and no more meeting with Raden Ayu!"His words sounded so serious that it made Pakde Karwo quite surprised, he finally understood what really happened to the Crown Prince, he was being burned by jealous fire.

"I'm sorry if I sassy Your Majesty !but if you think that between Grand Prince Satria and Raden Ayu there is a relationship, that is not true at all, they are just ordinary friends and there is never a special relationship!"Pakde Karwo tried to dampen the anger of the crown prince.

"Where do you know, are you a psychic?!"

"That's not so Your Majesty, I know best Raden Ayu's feelings, because we're close enough!"

"really!? how close?"The crown prince looks excited again, his eyes sparkle while bringing his face closer to the face of Pakde Karwo.

"Hamba could see from the look in his eyes, it seemed like he was in love, Your Majesty!but not to Grand Prince Satria!"Pakde Karwo replied, he was happy that finally the crown prince returned cheerful.

"Truly, who do you think!?"The crown prince was getting curious.

"Hamba is not sure Your Majesty, it's just that servants often see his eyes sparkle when he is staring at You Your Majesty!"

"Akhc! how can you not be sure!you know I'm getting tormented because I don't know how she feels about me yet, let alone how close she looks to Satria, I was really devastated when I saw them hugging me!moreover, Raden Ayu never once expressed his feelings!"

Pakde Karwo tried to hold back his laughter, he really did not understand why the romance of young people is always full of dilemmas, even able to make anyone who is feeling his head over heels and crazy.

"Oh yes, Your Majesty!I have something to say!"

Pakde Karwo to forget his main purpose to meet the Crown Prince.

"Whatis that?what about Raden Ayu!?"

It is true that the crown prince's mind is being filled by the Sundanese girl .

"Not Your Majesty, but, Kanjeng the Queen will immediately hold the selection of the Crown Princess, she ordered you to be prepared immediately and she also said, do not want to hear the word rejection this time, he said, You must immediately obtain a wife of His Majesty!"

"But I only want Raden Ayu, Pakde! can he be one of the candidates?!"

"Hamba is not sure Your Majesty!if it can't be , maybe Raden Ayu can become the main concubine only Your Majesty! considering that his support party was not very strong, as His Majesty knew, as the future King, the feeling was already of no importance to His Majesty!"

"So the King doesn't deserve to be happy, does he?My mother is also not from a distinguished family, but she managed to become a Queen, Why can't Raden Ayu!"

"True Your Majesty, it is good luck for the Queen Kanjeng because it is so loved by the King!"

"I love him so much, so what else is lacking!"The crown prince.

"We cannot resist the decision of the Queen Kanjeng as well as the Grand Empress Dowager, Your Majesty!"

"I hate it when you say that,,!"The crown prince again looked lethargic.

"Puni is His Majesty's servant! I have to resign, there is something I have to take care of!"

"Huh, shitty, everything looks ash ash, and I hate things that aren't certain, is it true that he loves me too?!"

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

The selection of candidates for the crown princess early stage has begun, each minister has the right to send one candidate to strengthen their coalition.

The prettiest and brightest Princesses were collected in the palace and selected in various aspects and directly rated by Kanjeng Ratu, Suri Mother and first-rate Consort, Kanjeng Dewi Sinta.

There is one unusual sight, it turns out Raden Ayu is among the candidates.

Actually Neneng had rejected the Queen's offer when he expressed his plan to make her the Crown Princess.

"Please, I don't deserve such an important position, Your Majesty!"Neneng replied, when Kanjeng Ratu offered the position to her at that time.

"Didn't you like my son?!"

"It's not like that, Your Majesty, it's just that, as many people know, my education is low and I don't like to be restrained, being a first lady certainly has a big responsibility and heavy burden that I have to run, even I have never been interested in going into politics, he said,I want to be a normal person, Your Majesty!"

"Then you will marry my second Prince, Grand Prince Satria, and you will lose the chance to be next to the Crown Prince forever!are you willing?!"

"Married to Grand Prince Satria?! why can it be so Your Majesty, it was also unthinkable to me!"

"Actually your Majesty intends to marry you to Grand Prince Satria because there was one deal he made with your father first, but I see the crown prince in your eyes more, despite the great struggle in my heart for not wanting to hurt my other son, I made a good offer for you, which is to become a crown princess, although heavy and contrary to your wishes, but that is the life you must live Raden Ayu, you will not know your path will flower or thorny if you do not dare to live it!"

Said Kanjeng Ratu giving a view of life to Neneng, of course because he was more experienced.

"You remind me first when I was elected to be a Queen, I was not much different from you, even though I loved Your Majesty very much, but at that time I was reluctant to be Queen because I wanted freedom,but fate says otherwise, no matter how far we dodge, destiny will keep chasing!and now I can feel that being next to the one we love is more important than our dreams!"

Connect her with sparkling eyes while reminiscing about her love story with the king.

"Give me time to think, Your Majesty!"Neneng replied helplessly.

"Well, you will be punished by being held in your room until you have a clear decision because you have dared to refuse my offer!"

That was the deal made between Neneng and Kanjeng Ratu until Indra came and finally he was released because finally Neneng agreed with the offer of Kanjeng Ratu, and finally he was released because Neneng agreed to the offer of Kanjeng Ratu,he spoke to Grand Prince Satria to ask for his opinion, with a grim face but with a forced smile he said,,

"I'm happy if you're happy, and I'm sick if you're sick too, whatever decision you make I'll always support you,and I'll always accept you if you need someone even to use!"

Neneng was moved and hugged the Grand Prince as his best friend, which was what made the Crown Prince misunderstood and jealous.

"Your Majesty can I ask you something?!"Neneng said when he met again with Queen Kanjeng after his sentence was over.

"What is it?"Kanjeng Ratu answered with a warm smile, he really likes Neneng because he is so reliable in solving all the problems he faces,he believes Neneng is more than able to accompany his Son in carrying out his duties as the leader of his kingdom later.

"Can I be the Crown Prince's personal servant for the rest of my life?!"Neneng asked innocently, for whatever reason he would.

"Why is that?"

"I just want to be next to the crown prince, Your Majesty!if I become Queen or King's Concubine, I cannot always be by her side, only the servant can continue to serve with all his heart, touch her, wear her clothes, even being beside him as he ate, slept and wherever he went, I saw the Queen Kanjeng and the King's Majesty were not at all times together, because the King had to divide his time with others!"Said Neneng while looking down a sign of respect.

"What?! Ahahaha!Just this time I heard such a strange request, when another woman was racing to become the Queen or Consort of a King, you were asking to be his servant for life!you're so funny, Raden Ayu!"Kanjeng Ratu laughed so loosely as soon as Neneng conveyed his wish, he was inexhaustible with the thoughts of this one girl.

"As you say, Your Majesty, being around the person we love is more important than anything, and being with him is more than enough for me, Your Majesty!"

"So you'd rather be the crown prince's woman forever without status and recognition? you know how others will look at you, if you are nothing more than the King's mistress comfort woman and it will cost you dearly! Look, I'm Raden Ayu, I know very well that my son loves you very much, he doesn't even eat and doesn't sleep when he finds out you're in punishment, accompany him and continue to be beside him to support him in joy or sorrow whatever your position!this is a mother's request for her Son, are you able?!"

Neneng took her breath so deeply, then threw it away violently.

"All right, Your Majesty! I'll do it according to your orders!"

Neneng replied, although still heavy hearted ,

Will he be able to carry out that task?
