"We have arrived. Come down" Saksenya ordered Laksmi.
The two men were greeted at the palace gate by the paatih Mahesa.
"Come in, the king is waiting for you" said Patih Mahesa.
"Ah this uncle Laksmi from Astapura. He wanted to convey a message from princess Gayatri to king Daneswara" Saksenya told Mahesa.
"Go here" Mahesa asked.
The three of them headed for the banquet where the royal family gathered.
"Look at who is coming" said Paramitha, the wife of King Daneswara, welcoming his Saksenya.
"Mother" said Saksenya running to hug a woman who hugged her back moved.
"Finally we meet again" Sonarika told Laksmi.
Laksmi stuttered. The woman in front of him was the woman who helped him to Dwipajaya.
"Mother knows her?" ask Saksenya.
"Of course" said Sonarika winked one eye at Laksmi.
They sat together to enjoy the banquet that the king of Daneswara had prepared.
"My king wants to convey a message from Princess Gayatri" said Laksmi handed over a letter folded in such a way.
King Daneswara took the letter and went to his study. Daneswara took out a basin that was larger than a letter paper. Filled it with water and soaked the letter Gayatri gave him.
A message, as well as a warning if the time comes they must immediately get away from Dwipajaya.
Tearing the paper and then crushed in water until the paper becomes like pulp so that Gayatri's message is not read.
His saxe hugged Sonarika releasing his kangen taste. Too bad the milk brought by the mother of Suballa can not be tasted. According to his mother's confession, he met a thirsty woman on the street and the rest as souvenirs for King Daneswara who had helped his son carry out the duties given by Sri Narendra.
"What do you think of that woman?" sonarika asked her Saksenya while looking at Laksmi who was walking towards them.
"Why did you ask that?" saksenya asked suspicious of her mother's flirtatious look.
"Your age is ripe, find a companion who will take care of you. I can't die peacefully if I haven't seen my daughter-in-law and granddaughter" Sonarika said, pretending to be unconscious.
"Stop mommy. There are still many things that I have to do" Saksenya said.
Sonarika rolled her eyeballs without interest. When is your son not busy? he is King until death will always struggle with his responsibilities.
"Mrs ...."
"What's that designation? all the way you called me mom why now call me that strange name" Sonarika said scolding Laksmi.
"Call me mother and that's my son. You have drunk the milk that I brought now please my son" said Sonarika ketus.
"Don't think of my mother!" saksenya said quickly while glaring at her mother.
"Just calm down, it's not on my mind" Laksmi replied no less quickly.
Her mother threw away her face, seeing the behavior of the two who supported each other. Why young people today are very difficult to find a companion. Do they set a standard that is too high? the nonsense of the human social class is basically they are both beings who are never satisfied with what they have.
It was better for his son to marry a low-class woman who could appreciate what his son gave him than to marry a woman of the same caste, who could not be grateful.
That's what he thinks of his son. The life of his son as a child was very difficult. He lost his father at a very young age because Suballa was killed in the war. He ascended the throne at the age of 15, succeeding his father. Naturally Saksenya save the trauma and try as much as possible to avoid war.
