“Gayatri, Queen Mother and King would like to see you. Your father is waiting in the banquet hall” call Utari to Gayatri who is busy making the bed.
“Alright, wait a minute. I will be ready” said Gayatri change clothes and fix her makeup.
Gayatri to the banquet hall. In the room was the Queen Mother, Lakshita the wife of King Sri Narendra, King Sri Narendra, Siddarth, Mahesa's uncle and his father.
“Sitlah” said King Sri Narendra told Gayatri to sit down.
Gayatri sat next to her father.
“We have all agreed, after seeing your ability and enthusiastic invitation I as King of Astapura do not want diplomatic relations Astapura and Dwipajaya only limited to trade relations. We agreed to continue this relationship into a family relationship. We want to marry you to the youngest son of the kingdom of Astapura, prince of Siddarth” said King Sri Narendra.
Gayatri's heart was pounding. He looked at Siddarth, the man returned his gaze with a bold look.
Gayatri lowered her face.
“How's Siddarth, do you agree?” ask King Sri Narendra.
“Pad's choice is the best. When will this wedding be held” asked Siddarth.
“My son you scared Gayatri. Ask first his opinion” said Ms. Siddarth.
“How do you think Princess Gayatri” asked King Sri Narendra.
Gayatri saw Mahesa's uncle and his father in turn. Both nodded their heads in agreement.
“I'm willing” said Gayatri slowly.
“Alright we will decide this happy day as soon as” said King Sri Narendra.
“I'm Siddarth, my hobby of hunting, my favorite cuisine Idli. As a child I lived and trained in Tamilnadu with my adoptive parents. Since moving to Astapura, no one has served Idli as well as my adoptive mother”, said Siddarth introduced himself while taking Gayatri around Astapura Palace.
“I Gayatri, youngest of four children. I have two half-brothers. My hobby is sewing, my favorite food all decent food in eat” said Gayatri
awkward while playing the saree tip.
“Good. I don't have to take care of you all day just to persuade you to eat” Siddarth said.
Gayatri looked at Siddarth with a frown.
“My sister-in-law has trouble adapting to Hindustani cuisine rich in milk and spices. One year first, we have to supply food ingredients while bringing a cook from Nusantara”
“I don't have much time to take care of things that are no more important than war, and I wasn't always in the Palace. Sometimes they go hunting and fighting. Familiarize yourself with the situation in Hindustan. I will not miss hunting and fighting even if it coincides with my first night”.
Gayatri swallowed her hard-earned saliva. Since childhood she dreamed of having a husband who was always with her both in difficult and happy circumstances. In fact, he is paired with a man who will leave him at any time for royal duty. Gayatri began to imagine things that were not, but she immediately brushed it off.
I'll be fine. Utari was able to get through her marriage well, herself too
gotta be. Isn't it natural that Siddarth went to war? I'll be a good wife Inner Gayatri.
“What are you thinking” asked Siddarth.
“Ah no, I was just thinking about the preparations in Nusantara”
“Do not worry, we prepare everything well. I actually wanted to take you around the castle fortress. But the situation is not possible. Next time I'll take the time to go with you."
