Jhanvi Analysis

one day before Gopal's departure….

His newly arrived saxe from Nepal came to meet Gopal. He intended to tell the current state of Astapura. 

Gopal saw the arrival of Saksenya immediately left the palace pendopo and headed to where the horse he would wear to the port was located. The witness soon caught up with Gopal.

"What are you here for" said Gopal coldly.

"My office is very unlikely to tell you. My movements were monitored as long as I was prepared for Nusantara. I beg you to understand uncle" his witness said, pleading with Gopal to ignore him.

"Save all your words. I have agreed to cooperate with Astapura. If it were not for the rumors Hagai Khan would come I would not have seen the face of the descendants of the traitor" Gopal said.

His witness stared at Gopal nanar. No pleasantries came out of his mouth. After his mother's story, his witness increasingly put his respect on Gopal.

The silent atmosphere between them was enough to leave Gopal stunned. He saw his sax that was pecking at his side.

"My wife and son have left for Kashmir. I entrust Sadewa to take care of them".

"My mother has also left for Kashmir, maybe now they are together" Saksenya said quickly.

"Son, there is no peace in this world without fighting. Open your eyes wide. The world is vast no one knows what the end will be like" Gopal said as he patted her on the shoulder.

"I love my people and my ancestral land. Lose or win, no matter what matters most is effort. The ancestor and my father up there must have understood" Gopal said smilingly glaring at the sky.

"Then they will go to Nusantara and end up in Hindustan. Two nations are currently competing in the trade business" 

"What about Nepal?" ask Siddarth. Nepal is also one of the trading kings who consistently market commodities, although the number of commodities marketed is far less than Nusantara and Hindustan.

"Nepal is not a serious threat like Hagai Khan. Nepal connects the trade routes of two nations anyway if Haggai succeeds in controlling Hindustan, Nepal inevitably has to be an ally" said Jhanvi explained his analysis of Nepal.

"From now on you have been busy talking about the coming of Haggai. I want to ask you one thing. Is Haggai coming to Hindustan certain? I did not hear any news from Nusantara" said Gopal interrupted their discussion.

"Dad, we need to anticipate their arrival. There is a saying that there are umbrellas before the rain" said Jhanvi did not want to lose.

"My son, you did something unnecessary. Spending the resources we have before our time. You don't even know what kind of umbrella you should wear. If you're thinking about just keeping yourself wet, what about the rainstorm? a rainstorm can break your umbrella and even kill you" Gopal said.

The three men were silent. 

"How about we wait for news from Nusantara. If Haggai moves we move. We use the time to add soldiers, train soldiers and make plans. Think of as many plans as we can use" Gopal suggested.

Jhanvi looked at Siddarth asking for her husband's opinion.

"I have to report to my father before we leave this place" said Siddarth.

"Yes okay. That's your business. I'll leave this place tomorrow morning. Send word if there is movement" said Gopal.
