Dvesas
Wedding Day

“So that's our sister-in-law?” ask her five sisters.

Gayatri nodded.

“Wah, he was so handsome” they looked at Siddarth who was practicing sword with Atmadewa his half-brother.

“You're lucky Gayatri. It took us months even Mahisa to hold a competition just to determine which man to marry while you only had one

moon in Astapura managed to conquer the heart of the handsome man” Citra said

admissibility.

Gayatri is not sure if she is as lucky as her brother says because their marriage is not a marriage based on love, but rather a marriage to strengthen diplomatic relations.

“Hey don't daydream, let's prepare yourself for tomorrow's proposal” take Parvati.

The proposal and the wedding took place solemnly without any festive feast like the wedding of his other sisters. A wedding without a festive party, pure

siddarth requests because after marriage they must return to sail

Astapura and held a welcoming press of the new family there.

“We still want to be in Dwipajaya, but what power we also have a big responsibility in Astapura”, said King Sri Narendra, saying goodbye to King Daneswara and

his family.

“Dad, mother, my brother-in-law I will take good care of my wife” promised Siddarth while hugging Gayatri.

Paramitha and Sawstika let go of their daughter with tears. King Daneswara tried to stay strong. One day all his children will go to the household and leave their parents.

“Don't think too much. Everything will be fine” Laksita said her mother-in-law.

After weeks of sailing, they arrived in Astapura and were greeted with great fanfare by the inhabitants of Astapura.

Gayatri was greeted with various traditional ceremonies welcoming the new royal family followed by a festive party

their marriage.

“Rest” said Siddarth while pulling a blanket over Gayatri's body

Gayatri held Siddarth full of question marks.

“Tomorrow I should go check the taxes and there are some other important tasks. For information, as long as we don't have any children or as long as I haven't been given any territory you'll stay in the women's ward. After having offspring you can stay in the main palace. I will come visit you” Siddarth said.

Gayatri looked at Siddarth who closed the curtains of her room and passed by.

Gayatri intended to meet Utari that night, but abandoned her intentions. He thought hard about the differences in traditions in Astapura and Dwipajaya.

At the wedding, all of her sisters rambled about the first night and told their stories. It turned out that his first night was much worse than the pain they were telling him about.

Siddarth did not even accompany her tonight but instead said he would

visited him.

Visiting in the tradition of Dwipajaya was reserved only for the concubines the king would visit, how could Siddarth use the word for his legitimate wife.

Gayatri was unable to sleep peacefully. Several times he paced in the room.

“Which princess have you not slept?” ask a woman behind the curtain of her bedroom door.

“Ma-af, a-ku will soon sleep” Gayatri said staggered.

“If there is anything you need we are ready to serve” said the woman behind the curtain.

“Nothing. I'm fine”

“Please extinguish the lamp if you sleep” said the woman.

Gayatri immediately put out her lamp, then lay on the bed while continuing to think about Siddarth's words.

Gayatri began to surmise that as long as she had no offspring could not stay in the main palace, if she did not have any offspring to eat she would end up being a concubine living in the women's ward. What a difference does he have with the other servants in this ward. It was like Gayatri took off but the happy face of her family made her have to strengthen herself as the wife of the prince of Astapura.
