The Javanese Land Swordsman
Life in the Palace
This happened long enough. Just a fragment of Bima's mind, and this is the only memory left of her parents.
Bima himself has not remembered fully. The place and time of the incident is still unclear.
But Bima believes, the incident has indeed taken place in his life.
That day, Bima looked behind a crack. Although small, but can still be used for peeping.
Then that happened. The father stabbed the body of Bima's mother.
Shaking is unstoppable. Bima was scared to make her ears ring tight.
...
“Again.?”
Bima opened her eyes. For a moment he felt alien to what he saw. Then it was realized that this was not his home.
...Does it have anything to do with the phenomenon of dedemit?
Bima got up with a tangled expression on her face. With her hair still in disarray she opened the door and looked out of the room.
The people of the palace were already busy with their respective affairs.
Bima closed the door again, then immediately prepared.
After styling herself and changing into casual clothes, Bima came out of the room.
“Yoo..! Milky..!”
Right at the moment of opening, a male figure greeted in front of Bima.
Bima was surprised without any expression.
Seeing the man wearing clothes like an important person of the palace, Bima tried to speak in a soft tone :
“What's up?”
“No need formal..! I am also a regular person.!”
“What is true so.?” Bima came out full of the room, then looked at the man from the bottom up.
“Haha.. Call me Kresna!”
“Krisna?” bima's right hand held her chin.
“It can also.”
“So, Krisna want you to see me?”
“I plan to take you around the palace, want to come?”
“Of course. because I myself am confused to do.”
“Custom yourself okay.!”
The sun was already full in the eastern horizon. Birds chirping through the palace sky.
Krisna invites Bima to a building. There the courtiers are doing the semedi.
Bima felt a calmness when he saw it. It was as if there was a cool breeze passing through the skin.
They stayed to see the servants for a while.
Then they walked to a large area of land. Ornamental grasses and some large trees adorn the place. The tree is planted neatly with far distances.
At that time, other men were also there. They practice physical and hone their skills in using keris.
“They are very trying hard yes.” muttered Bima.
Krisna just smiled looking at Bima's expression of admiration.
Not long after, the servants finished their training.
Seeing that, Bima said :
“Eeehh? It's over?”
“You think when did they start? ... Are they lazy like you?”
“No, I'm not lazy, it's just that my wake is indeed that hour.”
“As far as you are.”
“Where else is it going?” ask Bima who realized Krishna walked back towards the palace.”
“Bima must be hungry, right?”
“Eh?”
...
As indicated by Krishna, they went to a place that provided a lot of food packaging.
“Wooaahh..! Very much.”
All the assembled men have gathered. They were waiting to get food.
“Hey Krisna.. Is there no female servant? From yesterday all I saw was men keep.”
“What? You disappointed?” Krishna tried to destroy Bima.
“What the hell? I'm just curious.”
“Ah boring.. Bima must have never dated.”
“Because of troublesome anyway,” Bima's face slightly flushed.
Krisna smiled for a while, then answered the earliest question :
“Of course there are, they are the ones who prepared this meal.”
“There are those who come to overcome this trance phenomenon?”
“There..! Later I will explain further, for now let's eat something!”
Bima and Krishna went in line to eat.
Although it was very crowded, but there was no commotion going on there. They wait their turn patiently.
There is no dining table available. So they also had breakfast spread all over the place. Someone who is outside the room. For Bima, it was a little strange.
And when taking a bribe, Bima saw some servants eating directly using their hands.
Bima pensive for a moment.
...I know it's for health but still
...
After finishing eating, Bima and Krishna went to the other side of the palace.
As Krishna said, there are female servants who participate here as well.
“Maybe Bima hasn't seen it yet.”
They both peeked at the activities of the women.
Bima realized there was a different woman. The woman looks younger than the others.
Unlike other female servants who practice physical training, the girl instead performs mediocrity.
“Who is he? Why doesn't the girl train like the others?”
“Laras, he's also an outsider like you.”
“Does he have a spirit in his body too?”
“Truly, and now he is practicing controlling it, want to take a closer look?”
“Tap it...”
“Colah!” Krishna pushed Bima.
“Iya yes. don't push it!”
They're sneaking towards Laras' place.
Getting closer, Bima began to realize the beauty of Laras. With long wavy unraveling hair, the woman caught Bima's attention.
“Where? Beautiful not Bim?”
“Yah.. I guess so,” Bima a little shy and look away.
“Haha befriend him, if you can grab his day too, ... Oho! it's time, I have to go!”
“Go there!”
“Oh yes..! almost forgot, later tonight I will visit your room, I have something to say.”
“As of you!”
“Do not get angry..! I'm just kidding,” said Krisna while leaving Bima who looked at her annoyed.
...What the fuck is this?
Bima sighed for a while, then exhaled back.
...Because it's been here better to see him first, than to lose.
...No, I mean it's just observation, though,
...Yeah, observations.
Bima turned back and intended to see Laras.
...Eh? Nonexistent
...Where did Laras go?
When Bima was confused, suddenly Laras was already in front of him.
“What's up? Mr stalker!?”
Although his words were quite harsh, but his voice was still quite soft in Bima's ears.
“Eh.. Hi.!” Bima smiled forcefully.
“Includers yes?” The barrel immediately unsheathes the keris.
“No, no..! you misunderstood me!”
“At this time the palace is closed, there are only the royal family and the servants here, so there is no way you are not an intruder.!”
“I told you, you misunderstood..! listen to my explanation!”
“Say in two words!”
“I'm also possessed.”
“That's three words.”
...
In the end Laras wanted to listen to Bima's explanation.
Bima also explained how and why he got to the palace and reached this place.
“But still you're looking at me right!?”
“It...”
...I can't deny it.
“It's up to you! I want to continue practicing-”
“Wait!”
“What else?”
“Anu.. I Bima, I hope we can have a good relationship,” Bima reached out for a nighting while nervous and enduring the shame.
“Laras,” the girl reached Bima's hand while smiling sincerely.
...Isn't Laras Jutek's guy? but kok-but
Then Laras walked away. However, Bima was still stunned on the spot.
...I really don't understand women's minds.
