Married Handsome Pocong
Chapter 23 - Patih Gundul's Family

Chapter 23 DPT

The knock on the teak door rang out, keeping Ana awake. A woman who was serving in the task asked Ana to go to the dining room immediately.

"The King is waiting for you, Princess Ana" said Widi.

"Where is Risa, Ma'am?" ask Ana.

"Bak Risa was assigned to be your servant, right? So, his position was only as a servant in this kingdom. Ms. Risa was having breakfast in the dining room for us servants" Widi said.

"But he's my friend. His position is the same as mine," said Ana.

"Different, Mr. Princess.You are the wife of Prince Jaya. While Mbak Risa is only your servant," said Widi then pampit ended the conversation Ana who always never wanted to give up.

Ana then followed the steps of the petite woman whose face was always bowed did not dare to look at her if she spoke that. It seems Widi is in a hurry to avoid Ana.

A large magnificent room with pillars and five steps visible. It looks like King Sumardjo and Queen Melati have been sitting at a large dining table with Patih Gundul and his family. The woman and daughter still Ana remembered. They were arguing last night in the back garden near the mango tree. Apparently they are a family from Patih Gundul.

Ana climbed up the pillars of the steps one by one. Their faces began to be clearly visible. Although the clothes they wear are not much different from the ones Ana wears now, but the woman still feels not dare to solidify themselves when compared to them.

The first Queen of Melati welcomed Ana. la, stroked her head, hugged her and said, "Ana, I'm sorry that we doubted your whereabouts. Eventually a miracle will happen. Prince Jaya will survive if this baby is born."

Queen Melati rubbed Ana's stomach. He then guides Ana to arrive at her dining chair. The queen ordered Risa to prepare a nutritious breakfast for Ana. Apparently Risa was already present in the dining room without Ana knowing.

"Sa, I'm sorry if you're treated like this waitress" whispered Ana as Risa poured her pregnant mother's milk for her.

"Not what, Na. I'm happy to come from the same deck as you. It's for me not to be cut off his hand" whispered Risa.

"Thank you, Sa. Later we make another plan to escape from here" whispered Ana.

"Yes." Yeah." Risa nodded while raising a smile.

Ana doesn't know what to do now. He just fell silent and tried to understand the situation he was in when all the eyes in the dining room were staring at him. There were two young men who turned out to be the children of Patih Gundul as well. His name was Buwana, a man with the same head as his thirty-year-old father. Beside him was a fifteen-year-old man of thin stature, short hair, dark skin named Tris. Buwana even looked at Ana clingy with a look like a man is not good, aka badboy according to Ana. While Tris looks naive the same as Laras. Ama tried to smile at Laras who also raised a smile back at Ana.

"I dreamed of meeting Jaya last night. He said that he sent you here to help him recover" said King Sumarjo.

King Sumardjo stared at Ana's brown eyeballs that always reminded him of his late wife's eyeballs. Same eyeballs as Jaya's. It was as if God had indeed sent Ana who had a face almost similar to her son and was convinced that they were indeed a match.

Queen Melati then introduced Ana to the Patih Gundul family. His wife named Dewi looked beautiful and looked younger than her age. However, Ana believes her youthful face is not the real face but the result of surgery because it looks strange on the cheekbones, lips, and chin.

Ana then turned to the people sitting near the Mother Goddess.

"These are his three children Patih Gundul and Mother Goddess. They will now be your brothers, just as they consider Jaya to be their own brother" the Queen said.

Ana got up and reached out to them, but no one welcomed her, not even the Mother Goddess. They looked at Ana with a look of disdain. They're all, except Baras. This twelve-year-old little girl welcomed Ana's hand warmly.

"Hello, Princess Ana! Introduce my name Laras," he said, noting a soothing smile.

Meanwhile, Tris and Buwana seemed to be smiling mockingly. They continued their breakfast in silence and ignored Ana's presence there.

After the breakfast was over, Ana tailed behind Queen Melati and King Sumardjo. They're meeting Mbah Karso. He really doesn't know what to say. They then passed through the spaces under the high ceiling next to the park to the room where Jaya was treated.

"Bow Prince Jaya with this flower, Mr. Princess," Mbah Karso pinta as he stuck out a basin containing seven flowers.

"Huh? Picking Jaya?! I shower him?" asked Ana stared in disbelief.

"Yes, later this flower you give water and then wipe while cleaning the body of Prince Jaya," explained Mbah Karso.

"But, my own time bathing Jaya?" Ana swerves.

However, Ana did not continue her protest. The King and Queen of the Kingdom of Garuda have looked at him sharply and make him unable to dwell or quibble anymore.

"Alright, will the power do," said Ana.
