Jatukarmas
Chapter 8

Raden Suryapaksi entered the residence of Galuh Citrawani with a cloudy interface. His sharp eyes poked like a dragon, shaded by his dense black eyebrows shriveled like an upside-down machete.

"Where is Galuh Citrawani?" he asked with a thunderous voice at the servant who greeted him at the gate.

"In answer to my lord Raden, the princess was in the health classroom with Physician Wong and the servants."

Health class? The wrinkle on Raden Suryapaksi's forehead deepened.

"Take me there!"

The waiter saluted, then led the way to the health class inside the residence. Raden Suryapaksi wondered, what health class is this waiter referring to? Not long after that, he got his answer.

Galuh Citrawani and Sekar and two other male and female servants, appeared to be swarming around someone lying face down. Physician Wong was explaining something. Suryapaksi doesn't care about them all. He looked up to see a naked man covered in a blanket being mobbed by them.

"What the fuck?" His shouting. The waiter who drove him, just opened his mouth to announce the arrival of the Raden. The clumsy servant had to clench his jaw back.

Galuh Citrawani and others raised their heads, shocked . Raden Suryapaksi stepped wide and covered the naked man's back fiercely.

"What are you doing, Citrawani? Why are you and your servants watching and touching the back of a naked man?"

"Huh?" Galuh Citrawani. "Kakanda Raden Suryapaksi, what wind brought you here?"

"No need to talk! Explain what this is? Who is this guy? How dare you do something inappropriate !" Raden Suryapaksi patted the man on the back hard. The man woke up. Apparently he fell asleep from earlier.

"What's this?" Raden Surya Kencana turned the back of the wave. He looked at his sister's angry face in confusion, then looked at Citrawani and the others.

"Oh yeah, I was volunteering for the training of the students. Apparently I overslept," the always cheerful prince chuckled. " But dimas, why did you wake me up angry? I just had a dream in an angel."

"Hmm, sister..what did I say? Is it appropriate for a royal prince to be bare-back and chest watched by women like this?" tukas Raden Suryapaksi, do not care about the grunts of his biological brother.

"Who are you?" raden Suryapaksi asked Physician Wong who was still kneeling in his honor.

"He's an acupuncturist and eastern herbalist, brother! And we're all here studying modern alternative health sciences. In health sciences, there is no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate, sister! As long as it is still within the scope of the medical code of ethics!" Citrawani answered. She returned her husband's gaze calmly and boldly. Suryapaksi. A lot of Citrawani's words were strange to him and made him even more upset.

"You're all out of this room !" His orders are to everyone. Wong's servants and healers got up from the floor and rushed out of the room. Surya Kencana is still lazing on the medical bed.

"The sakanda!" Suryapaksi rebuked firmly.

"Yes, yeah. Kanda go !" gerutu Surya Kencana while wearing his top clothes. After that he turned his face to Galuh Citrawani.

"Cousin sister, if you need more volunteers to get a needle prick, find me. Huah, my body feels good tingling..."

"The sakanda!" Suryapaksi looked at his brother annoyed. The one being stared at chuckled while darting away.

"What does all this mean, Citra?" Suryapaksi approached Citrawani with a gaze demanding an explanation.

"Hamba has explained, we are all studying acupuncture, the science of needling. Also deepening the science of herbal medicine. Sekar, Arum and Wicaksana have been studying intensively for more than 7 months. Now they are studying at the master's level. Where are you going, not knowing anything? " citrawani Syndir.

"How dare you hold a class like this without my consent and permission. Am I still your husband?"

"Hmm, try asking yourself that..." Citrawani turned her face indifferently.

"Good! How dare you go against my words! I'll give you a sentence ."

"On what basis will you punish your servant? "Citrawani smiled cynically. "If you want to ask, who gave you permission to set up a health class, then please ask ! The servant will answer, so that the brother does not know and take care of the servant!"

"Who? Who would dare give you that permission?" challenge Suryapaksi.

"The Queen's Mother, and has been approved by Her Majesty the King's Father." Citrawani sneered triumphantly.

Raden Suryapaksi was silent. It felt so bad for him, how sharp Citrawani's words, stuck right in his heart. Surprisingly, he sensed there was an indisputable truth in this girl's speech. He secretly observed Citrawani's facial profile from the side.

That face had changed, from the one he remembered last time, 4 years ago. In the past, he was familiar with the face and voice of his little Citrawani. Now, it seems that little girl is an adult. His facial profile looks very beautiful and elegant, his body is full of dandy that shows his adult age. And his words, not his sharp and brave play !

"Is there anything else I want to ask or leave to the servant? If there is none, I will ask permission to leave, there are still many things I have to do."

"Stay where you are, Citrawani !"

Galuh Citrawani stepped out. She looked forward to Suryapaksi's words as she looked up, looking right at her husband's eyes looming before her. His hands are closed, waiting.

"What is this attitude? " cela Suryapaksi's. "This is how you look at your husband, with arms folded over his chest and eyes defiant?"

"Hamba should be how? Everything I do is always wrong ! If your brother doesn't like you so much, don't come here ! Just accompany Galuh's brother forever !"

Suryapaksi stepped forward, approaching Citrawani. His chest touched Citrawani's folded hand in front of his chest. Suryapaksi's fingers touched the chin of the girl who looked up.

"So, are you jealous? Because I spend more time with Galuh Sundari, hemm?!"

"To be honest, I don't care ! Whatever you do, I don't care. The servant has many things, the servant has his own life and ideals of the servant, which has nothing to do with the elder brother!"

"Is that? Then why do you complain to your mother that you are always lonely and complain that I am being unfair to you? You want me to come to your residence, don't you? Good. I'll come later tonight, accompany you to sleep. "

Suryapaksi did not care about the face of Citrawani pias who gasped.

"You feel that I am unfair, because I always spend the night with Galuh Sundari. I never slept with you. Citra, from the beginning you already know that I only love Sundari ! Why are you not self-conscious? "

"Hamba is very self-conscious, brother ! Who is that unconscious? Why do you accuse your servant of complaining to your mother? Don't you know that slander is more cruel than murder?"

"If you don't complain, why did your mother call me, rebuke me and scold me? My mother demanded that I spend more time with you. Mother wants to have a grandchild soon !"

"So, where's the wrong servant?" Citrawani asked patiently. " Mother wants to hold a grandchild soon. That's a natural thing. Every parent wants their son to give them a grandchild to carry on the offspring. What's my fault in this?"

"Aren't you the one who influenced my mother to want her grandchildren from you and from me?"

"What are you talking about?" Suryapaksi did not understand. Suspectingly he frowned, staring at Citrawani straight. Citrawani looked the other way. He was lazy to look at the face of the husband who thought he was arrogant and narcissistic.

"Obviously, I don't accept being accused like this ! If you don't want to come here, please ! No need to come is okay either."

"And let Mother scold me again? Then will he report to my father? Huh. I'll come to your bed later tonight."

Suryapaksi stepped out quickly.

Leaving behind a wide-eyed and agape Citrawani.

"What did he say? OMG !" Citrawani patted her forehead in confusion.

****

That night Raden Suryapaksi actually came to Citrawani's private room. Citrawani's servants have been enthusiastic and happy since the Raden entered the contest. Sekar and Gentini smiled cheerfully guarding the front door. They did not know that his master was sitting in a frenzy in front of the table, facing Raden Suryapaksi who was drinking his herbal tea.

"Hamba has said, you do not need to force yourself to come to the servant's room" Citrawani whispered. He knew his servant must have been eavesdropping behind the door. Their faces looked so sparkling as they withdrew and closed the door.

"Why? Are you afraid of me?"

Citrawani. He had deliberately whispered, but this man even made a thunderous voice. Basic insensitive.

"Citrawani, let's serve me" Suryapaksi extended his hand. Forced Citrawani to help him open his outer robe. Suryapaksi went to the bed and sat down.

"Why aren't you still here?"

"Hamba.he sleeps on the floor... Please lie there quietly."

"You don't want to tease me? You don't want to make a child with me?"

Citrawani's red face, red to her ears. He remained silent, looking at the carved wooden wall next to him.

"You're deliberately cold like this, to attract my attention?" Once in motion, Raden Suryapaksi had loomed in front of Citrawani.

"Ti.no ..." Citrawani felt somewhat intimidated by the large tall figure of Suryapaksi. "You don't mind the servant, eh .. Just assume the servant isn't here.."

Suryapaksi grabs Citrawani's body and is thrown into the bed. Intense, Citrawani arrange the fall so as not to feel pain. He had not yet thought, Suryapaksi had 'perched' on his reclined body. The sturdy hand held his shoulder, the knee of Suryapaksi locked his leg.

"Sir, don't do this!" Citrawani frowned as Suryapaksi's fingers walked down her delicate cheeks. The hot breath of the man gushed across Citrawani's face, making the girl feel strange and goosebumps.

"Whatchu mean? You want to say that I can't do this?" Dengus Suryapaksi's.

"No, but this.this .. is not true.."

"What's not right? Are you not Citrawani, my wife?"

"Hamba.hamba knows that kakanda only forced.. I just don't want to, kakanda hates the servant more because he was forced to do this. Servants just want to live quietly and peacefully without intrigue in this palace .."

"Although that means, you should give me up just for Sundari?"

"If it does make the elder brother happy, the servant wills.."

Suryapaksi. His hand that was still caressing the hairdresser on Citrawani's smooth forehead, came to a halt for a moment. Citrawani's words sounded sincere and earnest. There was no sign of the girl wanting to deliberately tease him.

"What would you do if I didn't come to your place, Citrawani?"

"What's? Slave won't do anything, Kakanda. Life will go on, with brother or sister coming or not ! Slaves don't have to slump, cry or kill themselves, do they? He does everything as kanda wishes. The servant also continues all the desires and ideals of the servant to become a useful person for the people. Fair enough, isn't it?"

Suryapaksi releases Citrawani. He returned to his seat. Occasionally he observed Citrawani while digesting the girl's words.

"Am I for you, Citra?" suddenly the crown prince asked that. Citrawani was stunned to hear it.

"Adyl? For now, I feel fair enough. Since the elder brother loves Galuh's brother, it's only natural that the older brother always puts him first and wants to be around him."

"Did that hurt you?"

"For now not."

"Why?"

"Just like a brother who does not love a servant, then a servant, sorry, has not loved a brother."

"But as a child you always said that someday you would only choose me as a husband. And that you only love me." Suryapaksi stared at Citrawani who became stunned.

"Maybe it used to be so, brother, but the servant already remembers nothing. Didn't you know that I have full amnesia?"

Now it's Suryapaksi's turn to be confused.

If Citrawani is right, then his understanding has been wrong.

Calmly, Raden Suryapaksi grabbed his robe. He put on the robe, then turned to Citrawani.

"Partner, I will return to the palace secretly, so that no one will know. You just sleep pretending to serve me. Later, we will talk again. I hope there's more we can fix."

With wide strides, the crown prince opened the window, then darted out soundlessly.

Citrawani secretly felt relieved. She was not ready to serve a husband she did not know well. Husband who he considered arrogant and narcissistic. With relief he laid himself down, then fell asleep quickly .
