Rengganis looked at her husband who seemed unfocused on resting. With dim eyes, Rengganis understood the heavy burden felt by her husband. Slowly the young girl who was pregnant rubbed the face of Wisanggeni, then slowly left her to sleep alone. In the darkness of the night, Rengganis' body slipped away.
"Maharani.., wake up! It's me Rengganis." No one expected, not long after, the Rengganis was already beside the sleeping Maharani.
"I've woken up Nimas Rengganis.., because I have a hunch that Nimas will meet me. Tonight I am waiting for you, and I will accept your word." slowly, the Empress soon awakens from her sleep. The woman immediately sat in front of the Rengganis, both of them sitting looking at each other.
Rengganis looked into the eyes of the Maharani, though every day the man of the serpent tribe seemed to ignore him, but not the slightest hint of the light of cunning in his dim eyes. Looking closely at the face of Maharani.., Rengganis only realized that the woman had an alluring beauty. The devotion and devotion of the Empress to her husband Wisanggeni, sometimes make tightness and jealousy in the heart of Rengganis. But seeing the strange problem they had to face in that place at the moment, the Rengganis decided to take a stand.
"What have you given me Nimas? Speak.., without a second thought I will agree. However I also realize, if your heart and feelings are only for you Nimas Rengganis." said Maharani slowly. The woman tried to hide her feelings.
Rengganis pulled Maharani's shoulder with both hands, suddenly Rengganis hugged Maharani tightly.
"I will not be selfish Maharani.., share Kang Wisang with me!" the words that had just come out from the lips of the Rengganis greatly shocked the Maharani. The female from the Snake tribe instantly raised her body back from the arms of the Rengganis. His eyes were in disbelief, he stared into Rengganis's face.
Sore eyes appeared on Rengganis' face, but the young girl Wisanggeni's wife tried to try to smile at him.
"Do you consider me a madman Nimas..? I can love Your Majesty, who I know if Your Majesty has established a sacred bond with you." wittily, Maharani asked Rengganis.
"No Maharani.., my husband does have something, which can make every girl he has ever been with will be entangled. I realize it now.., and it would be too selfish if I would have it myself." said Rengganis. Both hands Rengganis, he suddenly placed on the shoulders of the Maharani.
"I proposed to you for my husband Maharani.. I'm willing to share the kang Wisang with you.., tie your sacred promise to Kang Wisang." slowly with a trembling voice, Rengganis asked Maharani to be a partner for her husband. Maharani was surprised by the stubbornness of Rengganis asking her to share her husband with him.
"No Nimas... What are you talking about.., return to the place where your Majesty is currently. Don't make me into a woman who grabs your partner's heart." unexpected by the Rengganis, the Maharani refuses an offer from her. But if, the bond between the Empress and her husband is not immediately carried out, then they will still be confined in this place. I don't know until when.
Rengganis hugged the Maharani tightly again.His palm rubbed the Maharani's back gently.
"Do the Maharani.., if all this time you can hold your feelings, when I see me and Kang Wisang together, I will also try it." whispered Rengganis in the ear of Maharani. No answer came out of the mouth of the Maharani.
"Please promise me the Empress.we both sacrifice for one purpose. We must be free from this place as soon as possible." again Rengganis invited Maharani to promise.
Seeing Rengganis' determination to reassure him, Maharani let go of his embrace again. His eyes looked back at Rengganis' eyes, and Wisanggeni's wife nodded her head with a smile. Finally, the Empress nodded her head and again the two embraced. Tears trickled back down Rengganis' cheeks.

"Come in Kang Wisang.., Nimas knows that Akang is outside at this time." Rengganis' voice sounds asking Wisanggeni to go inside.
Doldrumsily, the young man complied with the Rengganis. Slowly his feet began to enter the Maharani resting place. His wife was sitting beside the Maharani, but the girl from the serpent tribe did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Maharani said his greetings to Paduka.." in a soft voice, Maharani said his greetings to Wisanggeni. But the man was silent, and he did not return the greetings given by the Maharani.
Suddenly smiling wryly, Rengganis grabbed the palms of Wisanggeni and Maharani, and placed them on one hand. Slowly Rengganis linked the two palms together.
"Kang Wisang.., Nimas had asked and talked with the Maharani." said Rengganis memcah silence.
"What have you been talking about Nimas?" with a gaze full of gentleness, Wisanggeni asked Rengganis. Wisanggeni's hand grabs the hair that covers the face of Rengganis.
"Maharani is ready to establish a sacred bond with you Akang. Just now Nimas was questioning him." as if without burden, Rengganis delivered news to Wisanggeni.
Wisanggeni fell silent, he just kept looking at his wife's face. Although Rengganis tried hard to cover up his distress, but Wisanggeni can find it. Slowly Wisanggeni hugged Rengganis, and gave a kiss on Rengganis' forehead. Maharani watched it with a painful heart.
"Tomorrow morning.., Rengganis will convey to Guru kang Wisang to temporarily stop the refinement of the soul tunnel. We will hold a ceremony to tie Kang Wisang to the Maharani." without waiting for a response from Wisanggeni, Rengganis has made an arrangement. Maharani was unable to look at Wisanggeni. The girl just lowered her head.
"You set Nimas up, but you both need to remember. This bond of promise does not come from me, if in the future, there will be chaos because of this. Don't blame Akang! Are you two willing to promise?" given the keukeukuh Rengganis if it has taken a decision, Wisanggeni made an affirmation.
"Nimas will remember Akang. The bond tomorrow morning happened because of my wishes, without any influence from Kang Wisang. For that, Nimas himself will convey this to the elders" said Rengganis firmly. Wisanggeni did not respond to the words. The three men fell silent again. After a while, ...
"All right, it's night. Rest.." after saying these words, Wisanggeni directly lifted the body of the Rengganis and took it out. In the darkness of the night, the two disappeared again.
As Wisanggeni left tomorrow morning to tie a promise with him and Rengganis, the Maharani stared at their departure with a claustrophobic heart.
"Is this the fate that I have to live Sang Hyang Widhi?" moaning Maharani in silence. Slowly Maharani returned to lay down his body and tried to close his eyes.
