Batari Word
Honorary Smile
By the early hours of the morning Atma's condition began to improve and even her fever disappeared, amid a very heavy drowsiness, I tried to lean my head beside Atma so that when I woke up I could see her face.. Morning breeze feels cool on the skin of the body, morning sunlight looks start to feel dazzling for the morning which is still fairly early to open the eyes.. The warm hand caress that rubbed my head felt so loving to me that I did not want to lose even a second of this moment in my life, it seems like I'm used to living in this time considering my old habits that disappeared at different times.
Unconsciously turning my head with eyes still closed, again felt his warm lips that kissed me softly as if asking me to open my eyes.. Her arms touched my hair again and felt the grip of her hand that tightly grasped mine signified that she had woken up and was sitting next to me.. Blowing a sigh of relief and trying to hold back the crying by pretending to still be asleep turned out to be legible by him who laughed loosely to see my behavior in the morning today..
“ Kemuning, are your eyes still hard to open? Need me a favor? Looks like Wrinkles on your forehead are getting a lot of”
Atma said insinuatingly with laughter on her face
“ Stop, you make me feel ashamed.”
Kemuning who tried to cover his face with both arms
“ You've been like my wife, looking after me all night, haven't you? In that case, I expect your cooperation until you die later.”
“ WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! SPEAK PROPERLY, AS IF YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HURT! ATMA PULL BACK YOUR WORDS ITU”
Kemuning who was slightly upset immediately stood before Atma
“ You obviously know the risks of my job right? I may also have to prepare my mind if Gusti Ratu asks you to carry out the duties of palace”
Atma pulled the yellowed body and leaned on her shoulder
“ The looter knew Tasara was on me. But I still can't remember, where I hid it or the contents of Tasara it”
“ If they get to act like this. That means it concerns about the plans and agreements of anyone involved in them. Kemuning promise me, when I can't be next to you, you don't act rash”
Atma who wrapped her hands in yellow and looked seriously at him
“ PLEASE FORGIVE GUSTI RADEN MAS AND RADEN RARA, GUSTI RADEN PANJI CALL RADEN TO IMMEDIATELY HEAD TO BALE DELOT”
Said one of the guards in front of the yellowing room
“ Is my dad there too?”
Atma said to the guard
“ Right Raden Mas.. Gusti Mahapatih Danudara is also waiting for Raden.”
The sight of my eyes and Atma meeting signaled something was wrong back here.. Immediately I went back to help Atma to apply the last medicine on her back and helped put on Bhattara's robe and the two knight sword sheaths. By walking straight and dashing, it looks Atma is still trying to withstand the pain in his body.. I, who was unable to do anything and felt guilty, just fell silent to help her as I lost my balance.. Realizing my guilt towards her, with a breath on her handsome face, Atma turned my face to look at her and gave a smile as if saying I was okay, calm down.. Atma took a deep breath and holding my hand stood firm and we walked towards Bale Delot..
Once there, not only Ayahanda and Mahapatih were there, but Caka and 2 Minister Abdi Kasim from the palace who deliberately took the time to come by providing information after interrogating 2 middle forest looters who were taken hostage to find out who and what the purpose of the everything that's happened. Atma who heard the news of the information provided was immediately surprised by standing up as if trying to fight considering that one of the important people who carried out the act of embezzlement behind the palace was none other than his comrades in arms with a position that same with Atma on the battlefield..
“ WHAT NEWS IS THIS?! Raksa Sadiwa is the best Warrior of choice just like me! There's no way he'd choose to work with Guindra!”
An annoyed-looking Atma pointed to the silent palace Abdi Kasim without saying
“ Atma, Relax! It seems Raksa was consumed by Guindra's incitement by turning back the facts about the death of his father who was at that time fighting with me.”
Mahapatih who looks so riled up his hands towards his face
“ But we all know that his father died with great honor. How could Raksa misunderstand in that?”
Said Atma who looked so confused to her father
“ Atma, at that time the rebels attacked suddenly when Mahapatih was called home to the capital to face the Great Gusti Queen and King, and the King, so there is news spread that Mahapatih Danudara left Father Raksa alone to fight.”.
Said Andaru's coach who tried to explain to Atma
“ In the middle of the journey, when the grunting was me and my troops immediately returned and managed to paralyze the rebels.. However, Father Raksa breathed his last”
Mahapatih Danudara who looks so sad by lowering his head
“ I'll find Raksa and explain all this to him, then.”
“ BHATTARA RAKSA SADIWA IS CURRENTLY CONSIDERED A ROYAL TRAITOR ALONGSIDE ADMIRAL GIUNDRA. WHOEVER ESTABLISHED COMMUNICATION WITH THEM, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED AS A REBEL TO THE PALACE.”
Said Abdi Kasim palace loudly speaking standing firm
“ What did you say?”
Atma who looks angry but tries to keep her emotions
“ And don't forget to have lunch at the palace this afternoon. Gusti the Great Queen and the King waited for the arrival of all to be at the palace this afternoon. We beg you to pamit.”
Said the Palace Eunuch who subdued his body and passed away
The clenched hand with a silent face full of anger was so implied to the current Atma. How not, a friend who was already like his own brother was considered a rebel after all the education, hard training, and struggle they both had. I also understand Atma's current uneasiness so much that I don't dare to interrupt her and tell her many things. Even both Ayahanda and Mahapatih and his own father also prefer to be silent and leave Atma who is in a feeling of anxiety and anger..
But I am also very sure to see another expression of Atma that he gives at this time that as a palace servant who has been under oath, he said, it is impossible for him to resist the order and Atma is aware of the selfish and dangerous actions taken by Raksa to give the consequences of the choices taken in his life.. Atma only felt like helping her from the dark abyss that was tricking her into getting caught up in it, but Atma was not given a chance to do what she meant..
They all patted me gently on the shoulder and gave me a glance so that I would immediately prepare to go to the palace and leave Atma alone first to cool his heart and mind.. I also understood that very well, and I followed them and waited for Atma at the main gate of the entrance to the Atma who walked out as he wished.. Waiting is boring because it is full of uncertainty and tightness in the chest that keeps asking questions on answers that are not necessarily in accordance with our expectations.. However, as soon as I saw Atma walking towards me and there was a sad smile on her face, holding her hand we went together to the palace for lunch..
“ I heard the courage of Prabu Stira on the incident at your residence.. Even though I feel sorry for the disaster you and your family experienced, I am so proud of him.”.
Said Gusti Ratu to Patih Andaru by pointing towards kemuning who bowed
“ True Gusti Agung Ratu.. Servant is honored to reason this recognition.”
Said Patih Andaru who lowered his head
“ Some time ago Prabu Stira made a mistake to end up humiliated. But now he quickly turned all that around and all the pride was there for him.”.
“ Gusti Agung too praise servant.. Servant just running errands.”
Kemuning who subdued his body was respectful towards Gusti Ratu
“ Tell me, how is the condition of my best Knight Bhattara, Atma Maheswara at the moment?”
Gusti Agung Raja said to Atma
“ Servant has also improved thanks to the help given to the servant.”
Atma who also bowed her body to Gusti Raja
“ Thank goodness if so.. I hope we are all in good health and have nothing to lack. Despite all the disagreements that occur, all these relationships are closely awake.”
Worship the Great Queen Gracefully to all lunchtime guests
Say all the invited guests who bow their heads to Gusti the King and Queen
“ Alright, alright.. Please enjoy a meal at noon today.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The lunch ended with a music and dance performance by Diajeng and Pureswari along with other artisans who were seen still bowing in shame if they accidentally looked at me. Seeing them like that, at least it can make me smile with their behavior that is like misbehavior and do not know what to do.. Pureswari was so fond of dancing and playing an instrument with a beautiful tone, looks of happiness on his face at this time when he saw Caka who entered the main Bale lunch banquet.. Atma smiled at him, saying thank God you're okay. Everyone smiled at each other at this lunch..
On the way home, Atma who met with one of his Abbys stopped the pace of his horse and spoke to him, while I decided to immediately return to the Bale residence trying to Tasara which I hid in my room. But as soon as the guards took my horse and I walked inside, I was moved by a little boy who looked at our residence from a distance so seriously that I didn't notice him.. Smiling at the child's behavior, I walked up to him but still the child did not mumble because he was too focused on looking in the opposite direction to me..
“ Little sister, what are you looking at? Are you looking for something there?”
Say a yellowing tape that folds both of his legs to align with the child and points towards his residence
“ Me.. L'm... FORGIVE SLAVE!!”
The voice of the little boy who arrived closed his eyes and with a trembling hand brandished a wooden stick towards the yellowish trying to hit him
“ Ap... what.??”
Kemuning who was surprised by looking towards the stick without preparation
“ WHAT ARE YOU DOING? FOLLOW ME.”
Atma fended off the stick and threw it, then pulled the little boy's hand
“ Wait Atma.. ATMA WAIT!”
Kemuning who stood up and pulled the hand of Atma
“ What's up? This kid is trying to attack you.”
“ Atma, if she really intended to hurt me, she couldn't possibly close her eyes.. This kid is just scared.”
“ Don't you feel there's anything weird about this kid? Kemuning you're too plain! I'll take this boy to Thawa Jana (Bhattara special forces prison).”
The rope tied to a small tanagn and immediately sat the boy on a horse, Atma passed away.. Trying to stop Atma who was still carried away by emotions is very unlikely to do this time, I finally called back the guard to bring back my horse and immediately I followed Atma to Thawa Jana. A place where knights who already had the rank gathered even they were given the right directly by the Great Gusti Queen and the King to interrogate the criminals without having to go through the Minister of Eunuchs of the Palace first. Seen from a distance the boy was so frightened that he tried to hide it until we arrived at Thawa Jana..
As I guess their current view is so astonished, because based on the rules of a woman is not allowed to enter here unless it is an emergency or forced.. Feeling like this is a moment like that, now, I immediately followed Atma inside and it was as if it was becoming more and more so they were all like insinuating us as if we were husband and wife who were fighting over the mischief of her son, moreover, the rank of Atma here is the leader of all those who are very reluctant.
“ Do you know where you are right now?”
Said Atma who just put the little boy in jail
“ If you don't want me here, then let the boy go let me take care of him.”
Kemuning who pulled Atma's hand and looked at him sharply
“ Gusti Admiral Atma, you will never win against a wife.. AAHAHHAA”
“ Right. I was on the battlefield able to easily overcome difficulties, but once faced with my wife somehow it was very difficult.”.
Say both Atma's children with laughter
“ Stop, we are not married. And you, come home”
Atma who passed by kemunun walked towards his room
“ Do you want to bet on who wins?”
“ No need.. Admiral must have lost to the beautiful Prabu Stira.. The admiral loved him very much, right.”
Said the other men who laughed ignorantly to see Atma and Kemuning
Indeed I know, at this time I am very inappropriate to behave like this.. But, I can't let Atma interrogate a minor just for trying to hit me! Do you not know the Atma as hard as the blow of a 6-year-old boy who closed his eyes because he had no other choice to defend himself even though he was afraid? Atma is really too outrageous to interrogate this boy..
“ Still don't want to go? Kemuning, should I tie yourself up and put it in a horse carriage?”
Said Atma who turned to look yellow in her room
“ Please, try! I know you're perfectly capable of doing that to me, go ahead.. But, you will see the consequences of your actions later.”
Kemuning returned Atma's gaze with seriousness
It sounds very clear right now by me they are all talking and as if making a bet on who will win between us. Atma was also seen to be aware of the behavior of his ignorant men and tried to tease him as if it was a rare moment that they had to capture. But Atma suddenly pulled my body and forcefully seemed to want to kiss me but stopped with a distance so close that it could feel me breathing before all those who were looking at us.. Embarrassed, I kicked her leg and hit her body using a broom that was at the end of her room..
“ Atma, you're so ANNOying!! You did it on purpose, didn't you?”
Kemuning who pushes Atma and still holds a broom in his hand leads to Atma
“ Kemuning, calm down and put back the broom”
Said Atma who flapped both hands as if pleading with Kemuning
#HYAAAHHHH
#BHUAAAKK #AARRGGHHH
A yelling sound hit Atma back, using a broom in her hand
“ AHAHAHAHA... Nice Raden Rara, hit back.”
“ I told you, Admiral won't win against him.. AHAHAHA”
With a laugh they all now look like we're doing a very funny laugh in front of them all.. Even Atma was seen smiling as she lowered her face at this moment. It's so annoying this guy..
“ Just look! I'll be back to take the boy!”
Kemuning who threatened by pointing a broom to Atma then dropped it and immediately ran away
“ Admiral, you are not married but it is like this.. What if I get married later? Prepare Admiral.. You're gonna be like me.. AAHAHAHA”
Said an Atma man and they all laughed together
