The Fate of Narendra Women
1. Don't Marry [REVISED]

Kamila is a rapunzel who has been confined to a castle all her life.

In that castle Kamila was neither a princess nor a servant nor a slave.

He is nobody. Only a twenty-one-year-old girl hopes her world changes, not as Kamila.

Kamila could only bury her face in the soft void of the room as well as the confinement, recalling what she went through two days ago.

"Mother." He called his mother, a woman named Amarylis who had a similar elegance to Kamila. "I want to get married too."

In this castle, women of Narendra descent, both those who bleed Narendra or those who are only half Narendra are not allowed to marry. It was a hereditary rule since the first time this family was built.

However, there is one exception. Kamila who comes from an impure descent, in the sense that her mother is not the wife of a Narendra, then there is one chance of marriage.

It's just .. it was taken by her brother.

*Kamila doesn't know about anything outside the castle. There was nothing, one thing that he could see other than the view of the hill from Jayawijaya mountain.

He never met anyone but those who lived here. He never interacts with anyone except those who are here*.

His soul wishes to be free. Kamila heard, people out there go to school and chase dreams. But Kamila didn't know what a dream or a school was.

He was educated in the basement. That'sallthatis. Educated until he was fifteen, then lived quietly in his room until he died.

Kamila was afraid to imagine having to live like that. And .. he loves someone.

Someone who might not be for him.

"Don't you say it over and over again?" Amaryllis replied coldly until Kamila gasped. "Rules are rules! We must not add half Narendra to your brother's offspring. So stop being a spoiled girl and don't bother Mom!"

"But, Mother, I also—"

"Shut up! I'll have men come to your room so stop whining!"

Kamila shook her head strongly. He doesn't want a man to come to his bed and leave like gig*lo.

Is this his destiny? Since she is a woman from Narendra, there can be nothing she wants except as outlined by Narendra?

I want to be free.

Kamila sobbed on his pillow.

I want to be free and choose.

She is fed up with her destiny as Narendra's woman.

...*...

This castle is called Star Castle. That said, this is the castle that was built by the first leader of Narendra for his beloved sister-in-law, Trika Narendra, which also means Star.

In the story that Kamila often heard, all Narendra children after that were cared for and raised in this castle before they were transferred to the Rose Castle, which is on the island of Java, Bogor City.

Almost all of Narendra's women, except for their wives, live here to take care of Narendra's young descendants.

Now is the time of the termination of the offspring. The period which is also called the sterile phase before later simultaneously, all descendants of Narendra will be born.

It's the Narendra system. That's the rule in Narendra.

Kamila curled up on the balcony of her room, thinking that soon the wedding would take place.

The marriage of his cousin, Narendra's original descendant, Iaros.

Don't get married Kamila said hoping it would be a prayer even if Narendra was godless.

Don't marry. Don't leave me.

Iaros should have been married by the age of seventeenth. But for his own reasons, Iaros delayed the marriage until his present age of twenty-three.

Iaros was the last of Narendra's unmarried descendants. After the marriage, the sterile phase will end, which means that Iaros' wife will also become pregnant and give birth to a child.

Not willing, Kamila's cry in her mind. At least he doesn't want to take care of the boy he loves.

Even if they are not allowed to be together, even if he is of original descent and Kamila is only mixed, he really hopes that God is there, wherever He is, to grant one of his prayers.

I've lived obediently my whole life.

Kamila wiped her tears that would not stop melting.

I did everything I could to be patient. So please, Lord, whoever's up there, don't make me live watching Iaros' son with another woman.
