Back to Maura's apartment.
Dewi Srikandi still possessed Maura's body, he also gave many orders and tips to Bik Marni and Gerald.
Camelia was bound and forced into Gerald's body.
The subconscious of Maura.
He returned to the pine forest. Somehow he always appeared in the forest, he was half aware that he was in the dreamland or in another realm, I don't know.
He walked down the path until the middle of the forest, and remembered that there was not too far with the lake. He went down the road down, and there was a lake there.
He saw Camelia in the middle of the bridge connecting the lake and the flower garden opposite it.
Camelia's face looked pale, there was no smile there, which was like she did when she met Maura.
"Hi Camelia, why are you standing there! come here." come here." Shouted Maura across from him.
Camelia was still silently sculpting while staring intently at Maura.
Seeing something strange about the situation, Maura decided to leave him and continued walking down the path.
Until he reached the end of the road, in front of him there is a lake quite wide than the previous lake, the water is very clear greenish blue. The water sparkled in the moonlight, plus some lotus flowers that grew in the lake.
Maura was fascinated to see the beautiful scenery, then in the middle of the lake there is also a bridge between the lake and the large building in front of him.
The building looks magnificent like a palace, golden red color that dominates, beautiful flowers blooming around it, the roof of the large building is shaped like a gate with various carving patterns on the poles, roofs and on the other side of the building.
as if there was a magnet, Maura moved forward on the bridge. He was fascinated, with the beauty of the building.
"Don't go there, it's Maura's trap." Suddenly Camelia was behind him.
Maura was shocked by the presence of Camelia who had come just like that.
"Why can't I go there, a trap? what trap..??" Maura asked curiously.
Camelia did not reply, she continued walking towards Maura, her gaze returning strange. Maura felt that something was awkward, she avoided Camelia by continuing to walk backwards.
Upon their arrival in the middle of the bridge, Maura was like being sucked into a transparent wall. There's a barrier between him and Camelia.
Camelia tried to get close to Maura but couldn't, she kept trying to break down the invisible wall, but she couldn't. He looked hysterical, screaming that he could not get close to Maura.
While Maura was so shocked to see Camelia's state, she did not expect Camelia to turn out that way and not as usual.
"Daughter, come here.." There's a voice behind him.
Maura looked back, she saw that there were some people there. One of them was an old man wearing a songket with a golden belt with various jewelry wrapped around his body. He also wears a conical songko on his head.
"Who are you..?" asked Maura astonished.
"We are royal servants in this world, my lord." said the person, bowing respectfully and accompanied by the others.
And don't call me princess, I feel so awkward. Because I'm not the king's daughter." Said Maura.
The man just smiled, then he asked the ladies-in-waiting to lead Maura to follow them.
There was no fight from him, because it was useless that he was outnumbered by them. There were dozens of soldiers wearing golden clothes there escorting them.
When entering the palace building, Maura's eyes glare at the splendor of its contents, various ornaments, items, floors to walls and roofs made of gold. Some of the floor is covered with red velvet carpet, very contrasting with the golden floor.
Maura stared in amazement at the grandeur of the palace, for the whole new life this time he saw the luxurious building, he stopped in the middle of the building. Where on it hang a lamp decorated with beautiful crystals.
"Welcome, Lord Daughter, the goddess Srikandi. Daughter of the moon's Dadar." said a man who appeared behind the seat of the throne that was so big.
The man was strong, strong, clearly visible d*da fields and his torn bread. White skin, has a firm face shape, nose pointed, eyebrows thick and his lips a little thick. Such a picture of the perfect man in Maura's eyes.
He was amazed at the look of the man, he had never seen a handsome man other than Kevin in his eyes. This time was different, after Kevin there was someone else more handsome than him. His heart beat fast not when the man approached him, the man smiled sweetly, Maura's heart raged incoherently.
"Daughter, it's been a long time. I miss you." said the man.
"Emm, pardon.. Looks like you got the wrong guy, I'm not the one you're referring to." Maura said trying to calm down, even though her heart was racing.
"I know, you're not him. I'm sorry, you look so much like her." Said the man smiling bitterly.
"You're not mistaken Balaputradeva, she is indeed the incarnation of the goddess srikandi. No wonder his face was so similar, only his behavior was different." Said someone who had just appeared.
She was a woman, so beautiful with songket cloth combined with her red kemben, there was a golden color scarf around her waist. Her hair was bunched together with a crown on her head and various jewels on her body. So beautiful and graceful.
The woman stood beside the man, they looked very harmonious, one was beautiful and the other was handsome.
"Are you jealous of our closeness?" ask the woman.
Maura was shocked to hear his words earlier, while the man only smiled embarrassedly.
"He's my brother, Maharaja Balaputradewa. She's the king of the Srivijaya kingdom, and you goddess is her lover." said the woman.
"What do you mean, King of Bala-Bala..? Akh, I don't understand please explain in more detail..?" asked Maura curiously.
"Listen to me carefully, I'll explain everything. But before that, rest first you come from far away. We have to serve and entertain you well, we don't want our special guest to be exhausted." He said with a smile.
"But before, tell me.. Who are you and where am I now? Is this real what just a dream?" ask Maura.
"You are now in the Kingdom of Srivijaya, of course this is a shadow kingdom, because in your time, this kingdom no longer exists. About who we are and others I will tell you about, and this is not a dream and not real. If it's real, maybe you're dead." The woman's words passed while being accompanied by her ladies.
Maura was still stunned to hear the explanation of the woman earlier, what did she mean? While the handsome man was still looking at him with a sad look.
