The Fighter
Chapter 207 Approach
Without blinking, Prince Abhiseka looked at the face of Niken Kinanthi who was walking towards them. Currently they are in pendhopo, while enjoying cassava and boiled beans. Rengganis touched Wisanggeni's shoulder using his shoulder, to inform Prince Abhiseka's attitude towards Niken Kinanthi, and suddenly came the idea of making their relationship closer.
"Welcome to see Nimas Niken again." to melt the atmosphere, Wisanggeni greeted Niken Kinanthi.
"Yes Kang Wisang.., I had information from some students, about the return of kang Wisang to this padhepokan again. Finally Niken took a moment to say hello and meet Kang Wisanggeni." with a bright face. Niken kinanthi responds to Wisanggeni's words. It is undeniable, there is still a sense of regret in the heart of the girl, when remembered how it used to be with her split she broke off the engagement with the man, But after all it has happened, but after all, and it is impossible for them to be reunited.
"Sit here Nimas Niken. Come here..." Rengganis also chimed in on her husband's words, the woman asked Niken Kinanthi to join them.
"Both Nimas Rengganis.." without many words, Niken Kinanthi followed the invitation of Rengganis. The young woman immediately sat down beside the Rengganis. From the front, Prince Abhiseka's gaze unblinkingly aimed at Niken Kinanthi.
"Oh yes Nimas Niken..., still remind you of this dashing man?' suddenly Wisanggeni reminded the young woman with Prince Abhiseka.
Niken Kinanthi turned her gaze and looked towards Prince Abhiseka. Then the young woman smiled and nodded her head at the man from the Laksa kingdom.
"Nobody will easily forget Prince Abhiseka Akang, a prince who prefers adventure, and lives in the outside world. instead of having to count the days and enjoy his life in the kingdom with the many servants who serve him." Niken Kinanthi answered Wisanggeni's question.
"Include me Abhiseka Nimas... Although we have met several times, but formally we have never known each other. Let me from now on, I can get to know more closely to Nimas Niken Kinanthi." unexpectedly, Prince Abhiseka responded to the statement that Niken Kinanthi said with a carefree face. It looked bright in the eyes of the man.
"Like the Prince.." Niken Kinanthi responded briefly to Prince Abhiseka's words.
"Ha.., ha.., huh. Thank you Nimas.., I will try a lot to get to know Nimas more closely." said Prince Abhiseka. Rengganis and Wisanggeni looked at each other, and finally smiled at the efforts of Prince Abhiseka who seemed to have an interest in Niken Kinanthi.
"How are the disciples you trained Nimas..?" to melt the atmosphere, Rengganis asked Niken Kinanthi. The woman understood how Niken Kinanthi felt when she was near her husband. However, the events of the past few wars, left a deep impression for both.
"Thank God they are very easy to be invited to work with Nimas.., even for basic defense they have begun to master it. Only maybe one day we'll let some of them go, so they can learn how to survive in the outside world without an escort." Niken Kinanthi reviews the students for whom he is responsible.
"We can give it a try, if they intend to go back to see their families. We can make rules to reinforce this. For all students who will visit the family, it is expected not to be picked up by his family." Rengganis responded to Niken Kinanthi's proposal.

Feeling no fixed activities, Prince Abhiseka took a walk around the padhepokan. Seeing Niken Kinanthi who was alone in the porch pondhok, the man walked up to him. Before approaching, Prince Abhiseka raised his hand, gesturing his two guards not to follow him. The man did not want to surprise the girl.
"Good afternoon Nimas Niken.., what is being seen in the distance?" without further ado, Prince Abhiseka immediately asked the girl. The girl felt shocked to hear the voice of the man behind her, swiftly turning around and seeing the whereabouts of Prince Abhiseka.
"Inhaling the fresh air of the Prince.., it just so happens that there is no work that I have to finish. There is nothing wrong with relaxation by utilizing the panorama presented by the environment." with a smile, Niken Kinanthi responded to Prince Abhiseka's question.
"Don't mind if I'm here to accompany Nimas..? If Nimas Niken pleases, can this afternoon Nimas accompany me for a walk. I've been leaving this building long enough, and I see a lot has changed here. It seems that right now, Nimas Niken knows him better than I do." Without further ado, the Prince moved quickly to invite Niken Kinanthi..
The young woman was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath. After taking a deep breath, Niken Kinanthi looked into the face of Prince Abhiseka..
"All right let the prince.., the direction to which the prince wants to go. I will accompany the Prince's journey." in a soft voice, Niken Kinanthi accepted the invitation from the man.
Prince Abhiseka smiled, then slowly lowered his foot into the courtyard. Niken Kinanthi immediately followed the man, but suddenly Abhiseka stopped and looked into the girl's face.
"Nimas.., don't walk behind me. Come here.., we can walk together, side by side. I want to see the twilight shade on the edge of the hill over there, want Nimas to accompany me." Prince Abhiseka stretched out his hand, then pulled out Niken Kinanthi's hand to align the steps with her. After the young lady was beside him, slowly the two began to walk towards the edge of the hill.
"It was so beautiful that the sun that was about to sink was Prince. The color of the natural atmosphere became all orange, very beautiful and beautiful.." cheerfully, Niken Kinanthi shouted admiring the natural scenery around him.
"Especially when the light hit your face Nimas. Shining even more." unexpectedly, Prince Abhiseka praised Niken Kinanthi's face. Unbelieving what he had heard just now, Niken Kinanthi looked at Abhisheka's face. The man smiled and nodded his head steadily.
Niken Kinanthi's face became blushed, since the events of several wars ago, when the girl broke the engagement with Wisanggeni, Niken Kinanthi never let any men approach her. The girl still had hopes of being next to Wisanggeni, although she also knew that there were already two beautiful women beside the man she adored so much. But at this moment, when he heard Prince Abhisheka who was praising him, his heart suddenly became beating even faster. Undeniably, there was a sense of shame tucked into his heart at this moment.
