*Evenue String Agreement (Traffic)*
That same day, Queen Lembayung Mekar and his entourage left the Wind Sand Palace with an ole-ole of failure and disappointment. Although the offer of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom has been rejected, Prabu Galang Digdaya still entertains his guests with lunch.
After the rejection, there was no more discussion about cooperation efforts. Queen Lembayung and Mahapatih Batik Mida were no longer willing to offend it anymore, in order to maintain the norm as a guest.
The entourage of Queen Lembayung Mekar was ushered by Prabu Galang Digdaya to the top stairs in front of the Palace. After the party left, Prabu Digdaya just smiled cynically.
“They think they can lie to a great king like me,” said Prabu Galang to his mahapatih.
“Betul says Gusti Prabu. Have they not allied themselves with other coastal kingdoms, so why should we choose our waters to build naval and naval fortifications?” mahapatih Olo Kadita said as he thought with Prabu Galang, or he just licked his visitation.
That was a piece of chat Prabu Galang Digdaya with his mahapatih after the state guests came home.
Meanwhile, on the edge of the streets of the capital city Digdaya, while enjoying the rujak cocol sambal sugar palm, Joko Calm saw his wife's entourage passing by. Calm Joko let it pass.
“Royal entourage from where is it?” ask Subini.
“If see from the flag, it is from Balilitan Kingdom,” replied Joko Calmly.
“Oooh,” sigh Subini.
“You yourself from which kingdom, Joko?” ask Rinda.
“Nyai, just asked after so long we are together,” critic Joko Calm.
“Maclum, being with a young man as handsome as you, makes my mind difficult to develop. Hihihi!” callah Rinda.
“Hihihi!” laughter Rinda and Nangita.
Lucky Queen Lembayung Mekar did not witness the scenery during the trip. He preferred to chat with the Goddess of the Shadow of Death. So she does not need to be jealous because she does not see the familiarity of her husband with three women younger than her.
Until finally, Queen Lembayung Mekar's entourage passed.
Not long after, the dinner ended. Joko Calm also parted ways with Subini and Rinda. He went home with Nangita because indeed the direction of their return was in the same direction, just across the road.
When walking home together, Joko Calm and Nangita like a pair of infidelity, but without a hand.
At that time, Joko Calm knew that there was a man who was monitoring and following them. It was unknown to Nangita. However, Joko Calm remained calm, behaving as if the conditions were cool.
On the street in front of her house, Nangita separated from Joko Calm with a happy feeling.
After Joko Calm entered the rental house, a young man with a long hair of curls whose face was painted green with a lightning pattern, immediately moved closer to the rental house through the back. The dark green-clothed youth was carrying a black flute on his back waist.
It turns out that Joko Calm did not close the door of her house. While the young man was wailing like a manuk, moving closer to the open door. He had to make sure no one saw him.
Not long after, the young man went straight into the rental house without saying hello first.
“Honour servant, Gusti Prabu!” said the young man while directly down prostrate on the floor, right in front of the two legs of Joko Calm who turned out to be standing waiting.
“Rise!” joko Calm's Order.
Whoa! Dak!
One small wind emerged from the flickering of Joko Calm's left hand, not to blow away the green-faced young man, but to close the door.
The young man immediately stood up.
Green Lightning was one of the warriors of the Flower Guards Force. He was previously in the entourage of Queen Lembayung Mekar.
“Prabu Galang Digdaya rejected all our offers, Gusti,” Green Lightning reports.
Joko Calm was silent for a moment hearing the news. He thought of something, but what he thought was not written on top of his head.
“Talk to Gusti Ratu and Mahapatih, return peacefully. Also send my orders to Mahapatih Batik Mida to send the entire Sanggana Ghost Army to the Kingdom of Sand Sky,” Joko Quiet orders.
“Good, Gusti Prabu,” said Lightning Green obediently.
“You can go!” joko Calm's Order.
“Good, Gusti Prabu.”
Then Green Lightning saluted. He did not go straight out, but opened the door a little, then loosened his head briefly at the doorway. After it was confirmed that there was no nurse, he went out and ran away without a sound.
Joko Calm went into her room. Soon after dusk, he should not go anywhere because as promised, Ronda Galo will come.
“Joko!”
Sure enough, Joko Calm who was asleep, was awakened by a voice of a man who called him from outside his rental house.
Joko Calm down immediately get up and get out. Sure enough, Ronda Galo was already standing at the door with her brother, Rinda.
“Minister Gusti is willing to meet you now,” said Ronda Galo.
“Ah, thank goodness. Wait, I wash my face first,” said Joko Calm.
Joko Tenang rushed inside, where there is a water barrel where you can just wash dishes or wash your face. Joko showed that she was enthusiastic.
Although Rinda drove her sister to Joko's rental house, but when she went to the Minister of Finance's residence, she did not participate.
Joko Calm and Ronda Galo went riding to the residence of the Minister of Finance Badaragi. The minister's house is not far from the castle gate.
The house is big and spacious. The floor area of the house is also as large as the fish pond that is owned underneath. The house and pool are combined so as to form a comfortable place for the eyes to look at it. Ornamental fish in the pond was large. The sound of the water flow becomes melodious natural music.
The spacious residence had the guard of several soldiers in brown-yellow uniforms.
Drap drape!
Along with the arrival of Joko Calm and Ronda Galo in front of the gate of the Minister of Finance's residence at dusk, there also arrived two horses from the direction of the road to the gate of the castle.
The two horses were ridden by two beautiful young women with different level of beauty.
A beautiful girl of ordinary level wore light green clothes. He carried the sword hanging on his left side. His appearance characterized him more as a warrior or a bodyguard.
As for the outrageous levelled beautiful girl, she was wearing a white shirt with a dusty shirt and a dark yellow kebat cloth. His pants are white. Beautiful color combination like a cleaved boiled egg.
There were a number of gold jewels on his fingers, wrists, neck, ears and head. On his ankles was a gold bracelet. Instead, he had a small but perfectly pointed nose and split lips, even though his chin was not split. That's unique. Plus long eyebrows with moderate thickness. Its blue gem giwang sparkles when it gets the right bias from the afternoon sun.
The passing of the four horses made Ronda Galo immediately stop his horse and go down. While Joko Calm focused on paying attention to the beauty that was as level as her empresses. However, it will be different in the heart if you see a beauty whose age has been recorded for ten years, compared to seeing a beauty that has only been first seen. That is what Joko Calm experienced.
“I only told Kakang Prabu, do not fall in love again.”
Immediately the message of Empress Nara in the mind of Joko Calm, when her heart was admiring the beauty of the straight-haired girl. (BH)
