Chapter 13 - Marry the Handsome Pocong

Ana watched Mbah Karso closely until she ventured to ask.

"Why did Grandpa help us?" Ana opened her voice after a long silence was created.

"I'm just helping you. Your destination is Garuda Island, right?" tanyakanya.

Ana nodded. He surprised Risa who was asleep and leaned her head on her shoulder. Risa until rubbing the drool marks dripping at the corner of her lips that are rather thick.

"What, Na?" ask Risa.

"There's nothing. You are sleeping again!"

Ana then turned to Mbah Karso.

"My destination is also to the Kingdom of Garuda. I know your purpose, so I help you. Introduce my name Mbah Karso," he said as he reached out to Ana and Risa.

Ana and Risa took turns while introducing themselves.

"I want you to arrive at Garuda Kingdom safely. I know your purpose and I need your help" he said with a gaze toward Ana.

"My help, Mbah?" Ana pointed to herself.

Mbah Karso smiled while holding his beard many times.

"What help, Mbah?" ask Ana again.

"Later you know too. Now, you should rest first," said Mbah Karso.

"Is it still a long time?" ask Ana.

"About an hour, son." Mbah Karso threw his butt in one of the seats on the ship.

Although Ana's curiosity was so unbearable, Risa asked Ana to obey. The old man had a point. They need a break after that grueling and creepy trip.

...***...

Ana and Risa arrive. They entered an area that was like a large settlement complex that included a number of smaller complexes, where each other was separated by an open field. Field lands are used for public interest, such as markets and meeting places.

Some of the residents they crossed also still wear batik and striated cloth clothes. Although it has lived in the modern world, but the residents still wear kebaya type clothing in ancient times.

"Change Karso!" A ten-year-old girl approached.

The boy was wearing a white T-shirt featuring a cartoon of Minnie Mouse and a subordinate to a sepan batik skirt. Her hair is beautifully curled.

"Well, what's wrong?" Mbah Karso's step stopped as well as the second step of the woman behind him.

"Who are they, Mbah? Are they new sinden here?" tanyakanya.

"No, Nduk. They are guests here" said the old man, gently rubbing the girl's hair

"Hmmmm, so it looks. If magrib don't come out of the house, Nduk. Come back to your mother!" the Order of Mbah Karso.

The boy nodded then returned to his mother who was carrying corn. Both are gone.

"Bah, sorry before, why if magrib can not come out? She will die" asked Ana.

The middle-aged man did not answer. He just smiled and invited Ana and Risa to continue their steps.

Ana still did not understand who the middle-aged man who brought her at that time. However, this old man must be a respected and respected person in the region because from earlier some residents who greeted must have lowered their heads as a sign of respect.

Ana and Risa finally arrive at a magnificent building. Thick red stone walls were again high around the building they believed to be a kingdom. The large door on the west faces a large field. In the middle of the field was a trench that surrounded the field. On the edge of the fort there are ornamental half-animal shaped statues at the bottom and half-human at the top, lined up lengthwise. On the side of the gate they crossed there was a waiting place for the officers who were patrolling guard Paseban.

"Our respect, Mbah Karso," said one of the guards.

"Is the King still in the palace?" asked Mbah Karso after replying to the greeting with a nod of the head.

"The King's majesty is still in the palace, Mbah."

"Thank you, I would like to bring our guest to see the king" Mbah Karso said.

They are welcome to enter the palace. Mbah Karso called two women who were servants in the kingdom. They welcome Ana and Risa.

"Pick clean clothes for them. And clean the rooms near the park for these guests!" the Edit of Mbah Karso

"Good, Mbah." The two inner servants immediately asked Ana and Risa to follow them.

However, their steps came to a halt for a moment when a man came over.

"Who are you carrying this, Grandpa!" The 180 cm tall man with a well-stocked body, dark skin, and ponytail hair was greeting.

"She's the girl I'm looking for. You should remember him?" Mbah Karso pointed towards Ana.

The man named Panji carefully observed Ana.

"God! She's the woman the Prince met before—"

"Tell the King that they will meet him" Mbah Karso said, cutting off the words of the man named Panji.

Then, Mbah Karso asked Ana and Risa to follow the servants inside.

After the two change clothes, Mbah Karso then brought Ana and Risa to meet the king.

"Sa, you're sure we'll be fine, right? Later what if the king is angry we continue to be punished so," whispered Ana who immediately stunned fear when passing the decapitation device.

Could he be sentenced to be beheaded for claiming to be pregnant with his son Prince Garuda? Why would they be given such cruel punishment?
