The Fighter
Chapter 123 Business Proposal
The hills of Mount Jambu
Achala seems to run around and sometimes follow the movements of students who are practicing kanuragan. From a distance, Larasati smiled anxiously at her son who was growing bigger. In the other corner, Kinara sat daydreaming about her husband Wijanarko. It's been a matter of years.., she's survived in the boarding house to wait for her husband to return. But until tired of waiting.., reportedly never even heard the woman again.
"Should I survive in a quiet place like this, without me doing anything?" Kinara whispered to herself. The woman remembered all the activities and activities, before she decided to follow Wijanarko to come here. But even though his time was always tinged with busyness, he still felt one lonely, and there was a feeling of undiscoveredness in his heart.
"It seems like there is no difference between my former self and my present state. Or is it really my life line that has to go something like this" he thought again.
"Kinara.., what are you thinking here alone?" suddenly Larasati was already standing behind him. Rather stupefied, Kinara smiled wryly.
"May I sit by your side Kinar.., watching Achala from here?" Larasati asked permission.
"Please Baras.., whether you have finished checking in the kitchen. And any word from the guards on duty at the border?" Kinara shifted her seat, the woman gave a place for Larasati to sit by her side.
"We don't need to cover up what we feel Kinara.. The responsibility to supervise and control this mess and this padhepokan feels heavy to me. But the trust left by the elders, and my husband Kang Lindhuaji. Finally, with a heavy heart, I decided to stay. How do you feel, Kinar.., what do you feel?" in his way, Larasati asked Kinara's feelings.
"It's very heavy for me Baras.. Every day, every night, my mind was told of my husband Kang Wijanarko. It's been a matter of years we've been separated.., and only a few days we've been put together. Right now, what can we do. I feel imprisoned here.., it seems I have a desire to find and follow where the Wijanarko kang is." Kinara revealed what she was feeling, slowly the woman leaned her head on Larasati's shoulder.
Larasati smiled.., then her gaze was far ahead. He saw how funny Achala was showing the horses. The presence of the boy, often makes his anxiety and hope rise again.
"Kinar.., if you want to go. I'm not going to ban you.., you're young, your time is long. Go Kinar..., if there is still a desire you want to achieve.., go after it!" without Kinara guessing.., Larasati allowed him to leave this settlement. Kinara raised her head, she looked into Larasati's eyes. He found a sting in the woman's eyes.
"Don't mind me Kinara.., I still have hope of returning Aji's kang here to pick me up. No news of abuse, from the Alap Hordes lately, gave me a hunch that our husbands had been able to quell it. I'll stay here to wait for the news, even if it's not in line with what I want." Larasati added.
"Larasati.., your words opened my eyes. We may try to briefly leave this mess.., and then keep this place as our home to return to. I won't let you here alone Laras. And I will try with the region around the boundary.." seeing how Larasati remained steadfast in her heart to wait in the boarding house, awakening Kinara to their position.

"Uncle Narendra.., this place is an intersection between villages and the main road to the nearest city. A lot of people pass by and stop by just to sit down to rest." Kinara asked Ki Narendra to exchange his thoughts.
"I mean Nimas..? Does Nimas want to make this place a stopover?" as a person who had lived a long time, Ki Narendra quickly caught the intention that Kinara wanted to convey.
"That's my uncle.., we can get additional coins for operations in the boarding house. Dozens of people are still left in the messanggrahan.., we can't just rely on from Uncle's storage warehouse. We have to develop ourselves uncle.., with us make food stalls even simple lodging to increase the income of the customers." Kinara did not go around in circles, the woman directly conveyed her thoughts.
Ki Narendra was silent for a while, but the old man then took a deep breath.
"Actually the uncle has no business with the continuity of the Nimas Pesanggrahan.., because the existence of Uncle and Asoka here only to carry out the orders of Nimas Rengganis. But long we hang out with you, making a sense of attachment to this awkwardness. Especially from the reports of the people of Jagadklana.., Our breed is currently experiencing a rebellion from Laksito. We need a place and the support of resources to seize the honor of our breed..." Ki Narendra laughed, his old lips smiling wryly.
"Means uncle needs a place to build strength, right. Why don't we combine each of uncle's interests, together we develop this area. Then together we take back Marwah Trah Jagadklana." Kinara proposed an idea, by working on one, eventually several goals would be solved at once.
"What do you say Nimas.., may soon be held in the temple. We will be able to find out what additional skills or abilities of our people, other than the science of kanuragan. I'll talk about it to the people who serve on the border, they'll smooth over this idea." Ki Narendra added.
"Well uncle.., soon Kinara will invite Nimas Larasati to discuss this. Even though the elders left this place, we can't just leave it alone either. We have to enliven or make this place bigger." Kinara then says goodbye to Ki Narendra. The young woman returned to the hills to go to the village.
************
After discussing individually with some people in the hills of Mount Jambu, finally Larasati and Kinara gathered everyone to be invited to talk about further plans.
"So that was conveyed by Nimas Larasati is something that we must immediately prepare together. Make a group with five members.., then we make scheduling and sharing tasks to take turns working on it. From the turn of all the tasks, we will also be able to discover where our abilities are." long ago joined the Medicine Hall.., Kinara had the basics to develop a trading venture.
"I chose Naradha to lead the division of the group among you. Later that night, the name of the group and its members, we hope it has been handed over to us. Tomorrow morning we'll start our business soon.." Larasati is moving fast and is already picking people to lead the group elections.
