Dvesas
Jhanvi and Gayatri

"Aren't your actions outrageous?" jhanvi asked as Gayatri left.

"I gave him the best advice and he turned it down" Siddarth said.

"Hahaha princess Gayatri must have thought the same as me. Astapura has no shortage of reliable sword trainers, why did you choose a new person to stay here for a day?" Jhanvi.

"All swordsmanship is the same. Not seeing where he came from but his knowledge, ability and experience" Siddarth refuted Jhanvi.

"The competition between women has been around since we were born. I hope you understand this part. Come to her and ask her what her needs are" Jhanvi suggested. 

Siddarth followed Jhanvi's advice. He met Gayatri who was embroidery on the ward fortress.

"I haven't been to this place in a long time" 

Gayatri did not take her eyes off the embroidery she was making.

"What kind of teacher you need, I'll find it to your liking" 

Gayatri guessed that Siddarth's arrival must have been Jhanvi's suggestion. Siddarth included a stubborn man who was firm. Gayatri increasingly realized that since the arrival of Jhanvi, since seeing the smile and loving gaze on Jhanvi, Gayatri was greatly defeated. 

Siddarth chose Jhanvi with his heart, while Gayatri was the choice to serve his father.

"No need. I don't want a sword teacher anymore. There may not be a suitable teacher for me" Gayatri said calmly.

"I don't understand the competition between women. You two are the ones I chose directly to be by my side".

"Gayatri, I can't leave Jhanvi as much as I want to have you. Tell me what you want, don't shut up. I'm not a shaman who can read what I mean. Say it clearly you want".

"I'm sorry. Because of my childish attitude, I made decisions based on my emotions. I don't feel like I'm competing with anyone. Anyway, you and Jhanvi fit in. You complement each other" Gayatri said.

"Are you okay?" ask Siddarth. He felt that Gayatri's words seemed to imply something.

"Well, what am I?" ask Gayatri.

"You jealous?" search Siddarth.

"Your behavior is confusing" Siddarth said.

"You talk in circles too. This is Hindustan, not Nusantara. Tell me what's in your head, don't think about other people's feelings" 

"All right, I say it clearly. I don't need a teacher to learn the sword and I'm jealous. There's something else you want to be clear about" Gayari asked.

Siddarth laughs. It is hard to guess the woman and her world.

"Now I am clear. You don't need a teacher. What should I do to keep you from getting jealous?" Siddarth.

Gayatri waited until Siddarth was done with his laughter.

"There's nothing you need to do. This feeling will go away on its own, I'm just not used to this kind of condition" 

"Yes, yeah, it's up to you. I'd like to say that tomorrow we have to get out of the palace and stay a while, near the port so that the information we receive will arrive sooner" Siddarth said.

Gayatri nodded in understanding.

"My things have been prepared by Jhanvi and my mother. Ah one more thing, Jhanvi wants to meet you there is something she wants to say. If you don't mind I'll send him here" Siddarth said, waiting for Gayatri's approval.

"Have him come here" 

A few moments later…

"Greetings princess" said Jhanvi saluting. 

"Greetings" replied Gayatri

All the servants and soldiers who were around them immediately left the place. Gayatri invited Jhanvi to sit in front of her.
