TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
048 - CORONATION

"Mahapatih, I want to unite the entire archipelago," said the future emperor from his chair.

"A very lofty desire" replied the omnipotent.

"You too, right?" press Hayan reminds Djahan of his vow years ago.

"This task is very heavy and full of trials, so I Djahan Mada vowed to do fasting. If you have conquered Pejeng, Buleleng, Goa Gajah, Kutri, Gianyar, Agung, Sugenep, Pamekasan, and Bangkalan, I just gave up fasting."

The sentence was spoken when Djahan accepted the task as mahapatih after Arya Tadah died and the queen persuaded him in all kinds of ways.

Djahan then decided to occupy that position because of the decree of Nararya Grama Wijaya or Raden Wijaya, the first king of the Maja Kingdom that the next mahapatih should be Djahan Mada. Arya Tadah has served since the first king was appointed.

Hayan gave a stamp on the last paper and then glanced at Djahan. "Or have you forgotten it for one thing?"

"Now all I want is his happiness. He was happy to be in a peaceful place. It's too crowded here." Djahan smiled, his conquest of the island across had fulfilled his vow, so he could come directly convey the intent of his heart to Idaline.

"I regret. Why don't you just make an isolated palace?" hayan.

"No need," refused Djahan.

"When the power of omnipathy is very great. It had already won the war over the five kingdoms and made the seven kingdoms submit obediently. People like you can be found easily?" wheedle Hayan.

"My decision remains the same. Everything must be for his happiness. I will ask," said Djahan fixed on his stance. Always in his mind. Before or now.

"I'm asking you," annoyed Hayan.

"Everything I want to do is done. Now my only desire is to see Idaline happy," Djahan put down his brush and looked at Hayan. "We will continue to support,"

"We," inward Hayan. "Please help." Hayan extended his hand to Djahan who was sitting at the table located next to him.

"We are too." Djahan shook Hayan's hand.

"You keep ignoring me" cried Idaline who was sitting on the other side of the room which was only a wooden barrier.

"Aren't you focused?" guess Djahan knows Idaline does not want to be disturbed when focusing on something.

"I can still hear clearly." Idaline put the paper on Hayan's desk. "This is the last one, copy it."

The way to quickly remember is to read it over and over and copy it on paper. Idaline taught that continuously to Hayan as a child.

"And I want to be somewhere else. You are so capable of standing alone." Idaline stared fixedly at Hayan's eyes. The little man was still spoiled into adulthood.

"The feet will limp if alone." Hayan looked straight at Idaline. The woman in front of him perfectly understood the profit he meant, but his love for mahapatih was that big?

"Sit. Let the others do."reply Idaline. Idaline rang her knuckles that felt stiff. "Tomorrow day of coronation. Enough rest, "idaline's message twirled around her tired wrist in pursuit of the queen's final year of power.

The last year is more to be summarized for future developments, not to mention Idaline must make a list of things that have not been realized.

"Sit down" said softly Djahan reaching for Idaline's hand. The girl sat in a chair in front of her desk and then she massaged Idaline's hands. Smiling Idaline receives Djahan's attention.

"Maharaja, you are the first. We invite you. We will be married on the second pound in Kadasa," said Djahan staring at Hayan with his hands clasped by Idaline.

"I'm flattered,"

"Don't keep talking, we gotta go." Idaline pulled her hand and stood up. Hayan's sharp gaze often made him uncomfortable. "Good night, Hayan. Get a good night's sleep so it's fresh tomorrow" he said before leaving the room.

"Yeah,"

••••••••••••••••••••

The courtyards of the palace were filled with huge umbrellas of celebration, the people took the place according to the color of their shawls. Many young noble girls entered the room preparing themselves to display their talents and certainly to grab attention before the election began.

Netarja, Sudewi, and Indudewi wear the same official dress that is full of decoration. While Idaline wears matching color clothes without jewelry other than sumping in both ears. Idaline smiled at the airbandha she presented to Netarja, Sudewi, and Indudewi used the three of them on this great day.

"You are so beautiful" praised Idaline.

"Thank you" said Indudewi. Netarja.

Netarja smiled observing the earlobes of Idaline. Sumping from him is plugged in there. "You're wearing it."

"How can a gift not be used?" Idaline intended to wear it on the wedding day, but..

"You have to wear these headdresses or do you want to wear twenty cubits of white wastra?" The head of the lady-in-waiting ordered the lady-in-waiting to bring the cloth she mentioned. "Please, Your Majesty,"

"I am Raden Ajeng Paramudita and a disciple of the Great Hermit. Unadorned official clothing is enough,"

"But Your Majesty..!"

"I'm just using sumping from Netarja," pointed Idaline to the box in the corner of her desk. "Bhre's just been busy. Maybe can't see me wearing this at the party" thought Idaline.

"All right."

"Eh? Easy once?" Though Idaline will preach the head of the lady who is often stubborn.

Idaline blinked her eyes, she remained standing upright even though everyone was bowing as Fusena, Hayan, the queen, and her husband entered the room. The faces of the people present were very serious as if they should not smile in the slightest.

The four people stood in front facing the guests and the escorts lined up neatly behind them. Fusena held a small jar filled with water, Dhara held a golden bokor, and Hayan brought eight stalks of wijayakusuma flowers that he had just picked in the courtyard of the Ageng Hall witnessed by the officials. The queen took a step forward and nodded at Kripala.

"Her Majesty the Queen has brought glory to the kingdom with the conquest of the five kingdoms and the joining of the seven kingdoms making our land wider. So there is no more Maja Kingdom, now there is Bhumi Maja," said Kripala, the queen retainer when ministers carrying coronation equipment entered from the main door.

"Your Majesty Yuwaraja has given prosperity to Watek Waluka and Watek Kabalan, his intelligence is matchless" he said again as Dhara stood beside Guitarja. "His Majesty the Queen has fulfilled her service and handed over the position of leader of Bhumi to Yuwaraja Kabalan who is now the new Maharaja with the title of Maharaja Sri Rajasa Nagara."

"Ananda begged do'a blessing from father and mother so that ananda could fulfill her duty well." Hayan lays flowers in the empty bokor of Dhara.

Dhara and Guitarja put their right hand on the bokor and the wijayakusuma flower turns into powder. "Be fair, nature will help." Dhara scattered the powder on Hayan's lowered head.

"Great Father, I beg your blessing and help to lead Bhumi Maja." Now Hayan bowed to the Great Hermit who stood not far from his parents.

Fusena sprinkled water on Hayan's head. "Keep cool-headed at all times" he said after giving Hayan a small urn of holy water. Hayan drank it in one throat.

"Yuwaraja Kabalan has proven itself by enlivening the lonely Watek Waluka and making the ruined Watek Kabalan a beautiful city. And for two years Yuwaraja has made new policies that have an impact on the progress of the country. The kingdom has become Bhumi. I, Gitarja Wijaya, queen of Maja kingdom, handed over Bhumi Maja to Maharaja Nirankara Hayan Wijaya." The queen handed the badge to the hand of Hayan who sat down and raised his hand.

"Be a fair Emperor to his people and be a good example as the first Emperor of the House of Rajasa. Cleanse the best generations that are strong against the world!" The queen took off her meaning and she put it on Hayan's head.

"Ananda promised to nourish Bhumi Maja more than the prosperity of Watek Waluka and Watek Kabalan." Hayan stood up then received the spear of leadership from the queen. And Huna Catra, Mana Catra's older brother and Hayan's right-hand man received an umbrella from Baga Sapta.

Fusena slashed his fingers and then he stuck them on Hayan's forehead. The eyes of the two men were closed. Fusena moved her lips speechless until a bright light emerged from her finger and the blood on Hayan's forehead disappeared.

"I acknowledge you as the Maharaja of Bhumi Maja." the sound is not deafening but it is heard up to several kilo meters.

"Get on your feet with firmness" said the queen as Gamya Pandya put a new slap at the foot of Hayan.

Among the crowd, Idaline almost cried because she held back laughter at the slap that Hayan was wearing.
