TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
102 - I WILL WORK HARD UNTIL YOU LOVE ME

Idaline's entire body goosebumps as her hands touch the cold river flowing from the peak of Sela Wukir.

"It's cold here" said Hayan, blanketing Idaline's back with an extra cloth. He chuckled at the pile of cloth as it devoured Idaline until it was nowhere to be seen.

"Hayan, come clean yourself." Idaline took out one hand telling Hayan to come closer. He could not get rid of the pile of cloth on his body because the air of Sela Wukir was really very cold.

Moreover, they are at the top and Idaline can see chunks of ice carried by the river flow a little swift.

"This man must have wasted more strength to withstand the discharge of water that fell in this river," said Idaline inwardly staring annoyed Hayan.

All these things should be used as necessary!

"My heart, there's a sulfur pool near the academic border, want to take a bath there?" bring Hayan.

Cleaning yourself in the river at the top of Sela Wukir is the best way to rid yourself of the curse of keris mpu gandring and remove the wound until the mark will not be seen.

But the air around the river is very cold and the water is so, it is impossible to get in there when the Idaline conditions are not completely good.

Some other things can also be done such as drinking the antidote that has been researched by Raden Wijaya or King Wijaya.

During the time of Raden Wijaya, he could not find a wukir sarawedi or a secret mountain because of the chaotic circumstances.

Finally Raden Wijaya took the initiative to make an antidote from the curse of keris mpu gandring so that later useful for his descendants.

By drinking this antidote a person who is exposed to the Mpu Gandring keris puncture can withstand the curse so as not to occur but takes time to heal from the wound.

The sulfur ponds that Hayan discovered not long ago have a good content more than the peak river Sela Wukir.

This place wanted him to forget because of the existence of a huge energy that could be disastrous if used by the wrong person and could cause a showdown someday.

But the safety of his wife is far more important than a struggle that is not necessarily happening in the near future.

"Yoo!" exciting happy Idaline. There was finally a warm place for him on this cold mountain.

Hayan lowered his hands behind his knees and onto Idaline's back.

"Hayan, I can walk."

"The road is down" said Hayan, as he straightened his body.

Idaline put her hand around Hayan's neck then she slid her hand into Hayan's field chest.

His face snatched away realizing his suspicions were true, this man was too healthy for someone who was exposed to the curse of mpu gandring!

"Maharaja, you've recovered," said Idaline snatched an upset.

If Hayan is healed they shouldn't have come here!

Just make Idaline cold!

"Don't use the cloudiness when it's not necessary, my dear."

Hayan bites Idaline's nose squash.

This woman can wear strength when she is weak.

He sped up his pace in order to quickly take down Idaline.

Idaline pulled out her hand and rubbed her nose and then again draped her hand to Hayan's neck.

"If it's healed, we don't have to come here" said Idaline.

"My grace and our baby are not yet recovered" Hayan replied.

"I can heal myself in the palace."

"Maharani himself said the water here could remove the curse."

Idaline could not argue.

He then noticed Hayan's cheerful face.

Is it okay if he asks a few questions?

"Regarding the intruder.Can I meet him?"

Idaline believes the intruder was a modern person because the intruder had not destroyed his heart while penetrating the defenses of the Capuri Palace.

Hayan did not answer Idaline. Eidalin epun already knows the answer.

Idaline only hoped that when the man got up, the man could choose the best path.

It should be that modern people who come to realize that this is the real world not just writing in history books.

If it goes wrong he will be the antagonist in history.

"It's here!"

"Hayan, about the intruder.." tossed Idaline once more as she lowered Hayan onto the rattan chair.

"I've already cleaned up. Details are being investigated. My wife doesn't have to think about it. Your and our baby's recovery is much more important" Hayan replied with a heavy heart.

If he doesn't answer it, Idaline could be looking for answers from others and this is not fun.

Hayan made sure that the intruder was dead, how could he talk to Idaline?

"I'll check the water first." Hayan darted away not wanting to hear any more talk of the intruder.

Idaline stared at the academic who was seen behind the fog from her seat. He felt sorry for the ladies who stayed there had to go back and forth to bring food and other items needed.

"The water is right." Hayan led Idaline into the pool. "Just relax they won't see us" he told Idaline, who continues to stare academically.

"Hayan, how's your life in academia?" ask Idaline suddenly.

Moreover, the drama of lashing and escaping that Hayan did make them sometimes awkward if alone without work.

"I study hard."

"Your teachers teach well?"

"Not teachers, but teachers." Hayan blinked his eyes. He was taking off his annoying jewelry. Because yesterday was too worried, Hayan did not pay attention to his circumstances.

"Don't keep praising me!"

"Why?" Hayan held onto Idaline's cheek. "Teachers are smart, my Empress is beautiful and fragrant." He kissed Idaline's hair. Hayan's widened eyes felt a soft lip at his nape.

"In the time of the queen mother, the queen mother began to recruit commoners to enter academia.." Idaline avoids Hayan's hand trying to catch his head and wants to kiss him back.

"Yes?"

"That means you've met a lot of people, why are you so obsessed with me?" Idaline looked Hayan in the eye. If Hayan loved her there was no way Hayan was so cruel when jealous.

How can someone who loves so much be angry for months?

Baby factor?

Still this was so torturous for him, while for Hayan did not look torturous.

Idaline repeatedly realized the magnitude of love that Hayan had. But once Idaline had just felt comfort, Hayan instead stayed away from her.

The man looked very careful with her like he was afraid to make a mistake. And realize it or not by Hayan, Hayan actually made a big mistake.

Leaving behind his heavily pregnant wife and not asking her to talk, Hayan said to protect Idaline?

Idaline sees that Hayan has fulfilled his desire to marry Idaline and no longer needs Idaline.

"I just want my Maharan" said Hayan honestly.

Hayan realizes his mistake of ignoring Idaline.

But he could not help but stand still when he saw Idaline close to another man.

If only Hayan acted, he was afraid to curb Idaline and eventually Idaline herself ran away from him.

Hayan had tried his best in this month to improve himself and continue to be by his wife's side who was pregnant.

But it turns out that his work this time really piled up plus the ritual of the so luxurious window of all the sacred equipment, the water is also sacred, and high-quality food makes Hayan more busy.

Hayan regretted wasting his free time by avoiding Idaline.

"Hayan, open your eyes."

"I've opened up so wide."

"German.."

"Hust.." Hayan covered Idaline's mouth with her index finger. "My grace need not worry, I will continue to be with you, I will always be by your side." He went down into the pool.

"I make sure to see you no matter how far you run" Hayan said, looking into Idaline's eyes.

"Then, can you promise not to be duplicitous?" tanya Idaline looked back at him.

"..yes."

"You doubt."

Hayan hesitated because Sapta Prabu must have made various efforts in order to put someone they could control.

Idaline is too high for them to reach. Even without being told, most members of Sapta Prabu will gather when greeting Idaline.

"My grace can do anything if I break it."

Idaline rolled lazily both of her eyeballs. This Hayan was like he was intending to double up! "Your words are so stale."

"With my life, you can do anything to a woman like I'm a double." Hayan rubs Idaline's back.

"Anything" stressed Hayan.

"I've loved you forever, my Empress." Hayan brought his face closer to read the expression directly from within Idaline's eyes. "If Maharaniku? Do you love me?"

Idaline's eyes moved uncomfortably to hear Hayan's question.

He himself did not know whether he loved Hayan or not.

Very selfish. He forces Hayan to show his love but he himself either loves Hayan or not.

What is clear, the desire to be with Djahan is still neatly stored in his heart.

"I'm happy to be with you" replied Idaline after a moment of silence.

"I'll work hard until you love me."

Hayan did not blame Idaline who had not loved him and thought more about Djahan.

Because Hayan himself had cursed Idaline and Djahan before coldly beheading the two with his own hands.
