The Fighter
Chapter 208 Feelings
Rengganis smiled while tightly grasping Wisanggeni's hand, when from a distance saw the closeness of Niken Kinanthi with Prince Abhiseka. Although the young woman had succeeded in making Wisanggeni as husband, and already had a son from her husband, but her heart was sometimes still often overwhelmed with jealousy. Especially in the past, Niken Kinanthi never without them knowing has an emotional closeness with Wisanggeni, which although unilaterally has been ended. But seeing Niken kinanthi who was like a sprig of a blossoming rose, and waiting to be picked by someone, sometimes raised worries in his heart.
"What do you see Nimas.., it looks like from your face, can I see there is happiness there?" Wisanggeni who had not realized what was happening, asked gently to Rengganis.
"Look to the east side of Kang Wisang.., it seems Prince Abhiseka has an interest in Nimas Niken kinanthi. What do you think kang, is there a match between them?" Rengganis answered the questions her husband asked.
Wisanggeni smiled at the question. The man could feel the shock and worry in his wife's tone. Wisanggeni raised Rengganis' hand upwards, then gave a kiss on the back of the young woman's hand.
"Although Nimas Niken KInanthi is not as beautiful as the wife who is beside me at this time, but the girl still has a match to be with Prince Abhiseka. We pray for Nimas. So I don't need to be suspected and monitored by my beautiful wife." Unknowingly, Wisanggeni's tone insinuated Rengganis.
"Somegitunya Kang Wisang rated me. Is Nimas' attitude to Kang Wisang.., can be seen and hinted at my heart?" innocently, Rengganis asked about the contents of his heart to her husband. Wisanggeni smiled then clenched closer to his wife. A kiss on the head of Rengganis, given by Wisanggeni. The gentle treatment of her husband, completely melted the heart of the Rengganis, and added confidence that her husband would not turn away from her again.
"Actually having only you, my heart is already very happy Nimas. You know for yourself why I can make Nimas Maharani my wife?" as reminiscent of the Rengganis, how could he finally marry the Maharani.
"Yes kang.., Nimas trusts you very much. Sorry, if sometimes unwittingly, doubts arise in my heart. All happened because Nimas loved kang Wisang very much." unconsciously, Rengganis expressed his feelings. Wisanggeni smiled, then more tightly hugged the body of Rengganis.

At the end of the padhepokan
Prince Abhiseka and Niken Kinanthi were finally seen talking together while looking at the horizon at the end of the twilight. Looking at the face of the girl who looked lonely, and like longing for an embrace it signaled to Prince Abhiseka to do something for the girl. Slowly Prince Abhiseka walked and drew closer the distance between himself and Niken Kinanthi.
"Nimas Niken.., can I tell you something?" looking into Niken's eyes, Abhiseka asked the girl in a soft voice. Niken Kinanthi lifted her face, and the two of them finally looked at each other. With a question mark, the girl's gaze seemed to contain a question. Seeing that, Prince Abhiseka smiled then grabbed the fingers of Niken Kinanthi's hand.
"Prince...., don't make my heart curious?" Niken Kinanthi wanted to reinforce what Prince Abhiseka meant. The young woman did not want to guess what the man wanted.
"I've been watching you for a long time Nimas.. Even I also collected a lot about your story in the past with Wisanggeni. All has passed Nimas.., and it has happened in a very long time. But even so, it is not as easy as we think and imagine. Until at any time, Wisanggeni will not break the oath of Nimas. That man will never take you back to his heart, after the events of the last few wars." The words of Prince Abhiseka, like a hammer hitting the heart of Niken Kinanthi. For a moment, speechless, tears seemed to flow from the corner of the young girl's eyes.
Unexpectedly, using his fingers, Prince Abhiseka wiped away the tears. Then the finger of the hand raised Niken Kinanthi's chin, and directed the gaze of her eyes to meet.
"The prince has opened the disgrace that I have always wanted to cover from my heart. It was a long time ago, and at that time I was still immature. But apparently, the incident was very painful kang Wisang and also the family of uncle Mahesa. Though my feelings are now Prince.., I can not easily forget kang Wisang. The more I tried to forget and abolish it, the more the name Wisanggeni stuck in my heart. This feeling torments me a lot Prince." Niken Kinanthi revealed the feeling she had always hidden in that corner of her heart. It is undeniable, if his return to this padhepokan, not merely want to devote his life in this place, but implied the hope to devote his life to the man he had dumped in the past.
Prince Abhiseka smiled, the man has the intention to remove the name Wisanggeni from the young woman's heart. He wanted to fill his name in the heart of Niken Kinanthi.
"Let me Nimas. We will go through this time together, and slowly remove the name Wisanggeni from your beautiful hope. We place the name Wisanggeni as one of our brother's names. Can Nimas.., you accept me?" without being covered up again, Prince Abhiseka clearly expressed his feelings for the young woman.
"Wouldn't the Prince regret this action?? It will not be easy to remove the name kang Wisang from my heart Prince. Please, Prince retract those words, I don't want Prince to be hurt by my words and attitude." Niken Kinanthi said softly, he rejected very subtly the invitation of Paneran Abhiseka.
"There will be no regrets Nimas..., trust me!! Provided Nimas promises to open my heart to me, I will accept all the attitudes and words spoken from Nimas Niken Kinanthi's lips. Together we will improve each other, we slowly throw away the bad memories in our lives. Together we realize a beautiful dream for our future." without giving up, Prince Abhiseka continues to try to soften the young girl's heart.
Niken Kinanthi could no longer speak. He had no way of thwarting the feelings Prince Abhiseka had expressed to him. Meanwhile, Prince Abhiseka was still staring at him expectantly.
"Prince, I'm sorry I haven't been able to give you an answer at this time. I still needed a little time to accept or reject the hope that the Prince gave to Nimas." finally in a soft voice, Niken Kinanthi asked for time to reveal the answer to Prince Abhiseka.
