As if Princess Ayodya did not believe her hearing, the young girl looked back. Seen in front of him Chakra Ashanka smilingly greeted him while one hand holding Sekar Ratih. The girl was trying to suppress the uncomfortable feeling that appeared in her heart seeing that scene. Her pleasure is that Ashanka's chakra has invited her to speak.
"Come here, don't get away from us, you can get lost. Still want to do not, accompany the trip we both to go to Mount Jambu college..?" said Chakra Ashanka opened the conversation,
"Yes brother, Princess still wants to go with Kang Ashan. Whatever the circumstances, Princess will always accompany Kang Ashan." in a soft voice, Ayodya Putri responded to the words of Ashanka Chakra. The young girl then walked over, and unexpectedly after being near the young boy, suddenly Chakra Ashanka's hand grabbed and held him to walk along.
Ayodya Putri looks very happy, from afar if people do not know, will see Chakra Ashanka is holding two wives. Soon, the three young men reached a diner. The diner was full, and no more empty seats were available.
"How we eat in this place. Look there is no longer a seat for us.. " Sekar Ratih asked the young man.
"No Nimas Ratih. It seems there is also a restaurant there, and look, it seems that no visitors come to the restaurant. We can try to eat and fill the stomach there, do you two mind." the young man pointed to a tavern located at the end of the street.
"No problem kang Ashan, we are only for food. There is no other purpose.." Princess Ayodya responded. Finally the three young people headed towards the tavern at the end of the road. But without the three of them noticing, many angry gazes looked at those who were walking towards the tavern,
Not long after, the three men had already arrived inside the tavern. And the shop looked empty, there was no one in it. Even though when viewed, the tavern looks clean, and all the food is also neatly arranged. Seeing the three of them enter, a servant came to greet their arrival.
"Welcome to our diner Ki Sanak. please sit down. Ki Sanak can order food and drinks to me, soon we will serve the order." kindly, the waiter offers food and drinks to the three young people who just came.
"Yes uncle, prepare us three hot drinks. If there's just a drink, and three servings of food with this restaurant's flagship menu." Sekar Ratih answered the restaurant waiter's question,
"Alright Den Ayu. Uncle will immediately prepare your meal order.." excitedly the man then turned inside to prepare the order of the three youngsters.
Chakra Ashanka takes a snack wrapped in banana leaves. The man then opened the package, and began to enjoy the food he had taken. Seeing that the young man was very greedy to eat the snack, Ayodya Putri and Sekar Ratih did not miss. Not long after, the waiter came to bring the food and drinks they ordered.
"Uncle. Why does uncle's diner look lonely. There was not a single person eating here, whereas on the other side, the tavern was very crowded and there was not even a single empty chair. Even a lot of people are queuing up to get a turn." to dispel curiosity. Princess Ayodya asked the waiter.,
Ashanka's chakra stopped her from eating hearing the servant's answer. The young man looked at the old man's face, then..
"What exactly happened uncle. tell us! Who knew we would be able to give and help a way out of the matter." enthusiastically, the young man asked.
The waiter placed the tray he was carrying on the table, then took a deep breath and looked out of the shop. After making sure there was no one outside, the man had just started the conversation.
"When it was actually just this diner, it was the only store in this place. Everyone would fill their stomachs in this tavern. But the last few full moons, things started to change. The officials in this village set up the same tavern, and chose a place not far from this tavern. Their guards will not hesitate to teach lessons to customers who come to this restaurant. People dared to come to this tavern, after the tavern in front was closed." in a slow voice, the man told the truth, the truth,
"It's so rude of those people. What was the meaning of their sickening behavior, did no one teach them a lesson." hearing the old man's words, Ayodya the Princess shouted in an angry voice,
"Calm Nimas Putri.we first listen to the uncle's story to the end." Sekar Ratih calms the Princess Ayodya, and the Ashanka Chakra also signals that the girl is silent for a moment.
"We can't do anything Ki Sanak, actually I am worried about the safety of Ki Sanak three. Usually those people will intercept the buyer after finishing eating at this tavern. They are the higher-ups, who with their power can oppress the weak like us. Waiting and being patient, that's all we can do right now." the waiter smiled wryly.
"Hmm.it's true what uncle did. Patience is the best, fortune will never be exchanged uncle, be patient. There will be goals and benefits ahead. Thank you uncle for sharing the story with us, uncle does not have to worry about what we will experience later. All will be the responsibility of our own," Chakra Ashanka tries to dispel the servant's concerns, but,
"Thank you, Ki Sanak, for listening to my uncle's heartbreak.. Enjoy your food, uncle will come back inside. If you need anything, hit a fart near the door." the waiter said goodbye to leave the three young men.
Without answering they nodded their heads and resumed enjoying their meal. As the servants left, they looked at each other.
