Sanggana 6 Agreements Muara Jerit
Examiner 42: Joko's Honest Answer

*Evenue String Agreement (Traffic)*

“Do you not want to know who the man I chose as the replacement for Kakang Agi Lodya?” princess Ani asked with a smile and a serious glance at Joko Calm. According to him, Joko Tenang would be very happy if he knew who the man of his choice was, because Joko had said himself that the chosen man would definitely be lucky.

“Oh, Gusti Putri don't mind sharing the story?” ask Joko Calm.

Princess Ani Saraswani looked at Joko Calm and smiled widely, successfully making Joko Calm curious.

“Before my residence was attacked, I dreamed of the person I had chosen as a replacement for my late lover,” Princess Ani said back. “That dream pleased me so much, until it was finally marred by the sound of a fight outside my time.”

“Hahaha!” joko Calm's short laughter, made Princess Ani carried over to laugh too.

Princess Ani's laughter sounded light and her tone represented her happy feelings.

“You know, Joko. Before going to bed and dreaming about the young man, I had a very hard time sleeping and always thought about it. The shadow of his face as if painted on every object..”.

“Means, if Gusti Putri saw the face of the horse, what is seen is the face of the man? Hahaha!” cut Joko Calm down then laughed a bit loudly, even though she guessed it was her face.

“Hihihi!” That question provoked Princess Ani to laugh too loudly. Laughing he immediately rectified, “But I was in the room at the time, not in the stables.”

“Hahaha!” They laughed together for longer and closer.

“Do you know, Joko?” ask Princess Ani.

“Do not know,” replied Joko Calm down quickly.

“Hihihi!” princess Ani's laughter heard Joko's reply quickly.

It entered Princess Ani's mind that how could Joko know if she had not been told. A happy and always happy mood makes it easy to laugh, especially with the person he is interested in.

“After my beloved was beheaded, I enshrined our love by keeping two fairy fish. One blue symbol of Kakang Agi Lodya and the orange one of my coat of arms. Before going to bed, I decided to move the blue fairy fish to another pond. That means I am ready to forget Kakang Agi Lodya,” continued Princess Ani Saraswani.

“Is the surrogate man Princess Ani means me?” joko asked Calmly, but it was Joko's question to herself inwardly.

“Joko, the person I chose to replace Kakang Agi Lodya is you,” Princess Ani Saraswani said at last, smiling shyly as she looked straight across the dark river. At that time he did not dare to look at Joko Calm's face.

At that moment, Princess Ani's heart was pounding. The tremors seemed to spread all the way to the tip of twenty fingers. However, he was happy to have told her his feelings. Now he just waited for answers or reactions from Joko Calm.

Joko Calm's reaction was silence. He was not surprised if Princess Ani fell in love with him. He also did not want to make a show by pretending to be surprised or expressing his excitement until the roll threw himself into the river.

What is clear, at that time Joko was silent because she was thinking and weighing. As a magic king who was always accompanied by empresses who each had a distinctive character, Joko Calm was quickly able to judge the feminine character of Princess Ani. From a brief story about Princess Ani's love for Agi Logya, Joko Calm can already read the love character of the princess.

Joko Tenang did not feel surprised if Princess Ani fell in love with him in the period of only two days and two nights. He himself realized that he had a high charm, especially he had twice become a hero for the princess. Helped by a handsome man is clearly the dream of every woman.

However, it is as if only now that Joko Calm is aware of the danger of his charm. Empress Guru's message aka Empress Nara clearly remembered back then, which certainly will greatly affect what answer Joko Calm will give to the beautiful girl.

Because of the quiet atmosphere after the disclosure of her heart, Princess Ani so astonished and looked to Joko Calm. The man in the red vest silently looked towards the flowing river water.

“Joko!” call Princess Ani slowly.

Joko Calm turned to look at Princess Ani until they exchanged a glance. Joko Calm down and then gave a smile.

“You're not happy that I'm in love with you?” princess Ani asked with a frown. In his heart began to worry.

“I've already said that the man Gusti Putri chose must be very lucky. So did I, Gusti. I feel very lucky to be loved by a king's daughter, a very beautiful girl, a girl who is very loyal to his love. However, I believe strongly, it is Gusti Putri who is not lucky if he loves me,” replied Joko Calmly while still flattering the princess and placing herself in a low position.

The deg!

Princess Ani's heart was like being flushed hearing Joko Calm. He was convinced that Joko Calm was only low. However, he was also worried that Joko Calm's words were true that he was unlucky to love the young man.

“Are you really a bad guy? Or are you actually married? Rincing Kila said that you don't have a wife yet. Or do you have a boyfriend? I am ready to compete while the wedding has not happened,” terka Princess Ani with consecutive questions.

Princess Ani Saraswani. So quickly his mood changed. His mind was not calm.

“I want you to be honest with me, Joko. I would rather die in a state of not being lied to than happy, but I was actually being lied to. It will make me the most stupid woman in the world,” Princess Ani said with a serious look and expression.

“Gusti Princess sure?” ask Joko Calm down. In his heart he said, “Why don't you ask me first before putting your heart in, Princess?”

“I'm sure. I am ready to accept the harsh reality, Joko,” said Princess Ani who is now difficult to smile again because her feelings are tense.

“If so, prepare your heart to hear the worst answer,” said Joko Calm.

The meeting of the two views felt bland, there was no more spark of beauty in Princess Ani's heart. Joko Calm just gave a smile that could not invite the lips of the princess to smile, did not even feel the sweetness of the honey of Mount Dewi Runa in that smile.

“What should I answer, Gusti Putri?” ask Joko Calmly start.

“Are you actually a bad person?” princess Ani asked with a feeling of anxious expectation.

“I'm not a bad guy, Gusti. I only kill bad people. Gusti Putri could see earlier, there were no soldiers I killed,” replied Joko Calmly.

So the third of Princess Ani's heart, as if the thick plaque that soiled the feeling was erased.

“Do you have a boyfriend, Joko?” ask Princess Ani again. For some reason, the question made his heart beat and his blood rippled.

“Nothing, Gusti Putri. I do not have a single lover,” replied Joko Calm steady.

There was more relief in Princess Ani's heart. Two-thirds of his heart became relieved. But along with that, there is also a growing fear of the feelings of the princess. Before he asked the third question, it was as if he was already so sure that the question was the answer to the question itself. He guessed strongly, Joko Calm had lied to Rincing Kila.

“Are you married, Joko?” princess Ani asked with a pushy look to Joko Calm.

Joko Calm did not immediately reply, but he took a pause of one breath.

“Sorry, Gusti Putri. I already have a wife,” replied Joko Calmly then gave a small sweet smile. The smile was not meant to seduce the heart, but to ease the princess's anger if she was angry at hearing that answer.

Jelg!

There was no lightning in the night. There was precisely a blow to the heart of Princess Ani Saraswani who immediately made her silent like a statue. Heart's broken. His blood flow seemed to turn chaotic which instantly made his mind dead-end, difficult to think. His feelings were not calm either.

She wanted to cry at that moment, but she endured it. He bit his lower lip. His eyes have been glazed. His world seemed to sink to the bottom of the ocean at that time.

Although the light that hit the face of Princess Ani Saraswani was dim, but Joko Calm could clearly see the look of a disappointed, sad, and hurt expression on the beautiful face.

“Daughter, are you okay?” ask Joko Calmly.

“No, I'm not fine,” Princess Ani replied softly with a vibrating voice.

Jburs!

“Gusti Princess!” pekik Joko Calm was surprised with his right hand outstretched to catch the wind, when suddenly Princess Ani very quickly dived into the middle of the river water.

Jburs!

Without thinking about the wife's child again, Joko Calm quickly jumped into the river following Princess Ani who was lost in the darkness of flowing water. (BH)
