TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
050 - LYING

Dances, songs, and poetry readings continued into the night. After cleaning up, the guests regroup to resume the delayed show.

Heavy and light dishes are available inside and outside the hall. The people present were still engrossed in conversation and eagerly looking forward to the next show.

But not with short women who wear white fabric for seven cubits. Idaline stared flat at the people who smiled at her, her cheeks were swollen from constantly smiling and telling long stories to new monks.

"If you are jealous just tell him to keep his distance from the women," whispered Sudewi leads to Djahan who is surrounded by the legitimate daughters of the upper and middle nobles who do not have a partner.

"The man who already had the couple should remember his status." Indudewi stared intently at Djahan who was still standing in his position at the north door.

"Hasn't Mr Mahapatih always kept his distance?" Netarja tapped her finger on her chin.

"Then from that..!" anger Indudevi.

As both sides were busy with their respective activities, a smoke came out in the middle of the hall. The sound of screaming echoed in the room. A pair of blue shining eyes emanated from that thick white smoke. Then he stepped out and stood in front of Idaline.

"Why did you call me?"

"Eh? Utih?" Idaline was surprised to see her contract white tiger appear in the middle of the room, standing between a group of people surrounding her and a group of people surrounding Djahan.

"It's horrible to be jealous." Sudewi stared with a gaze of judgment at Idaline. The girls surrounding Djahan dispersed themselves in fear of seeing Utih.

"It's not that!" Idaline smiled awkwardly. The Djahan who heard from far away smiled happily. "Why did you come?" tanya Idaline stroked Utih's head.

"I saw you give off a very strong aura. I thought you were being pressed and I immediately welcomed your call."

Idaline closed her face in shame. "Nothing, not nothing. Go!" ousted Idaline wagged her hand. Utih looked at the confused Idaline and then disappeared from the Arjwa Hall.

"I heard there was a commotion."

"We salute His Majesty the Maharaja." Sudewi, Indudevi, and Netarja dropped their knees, calmed down, and they glued their hands over their heads.

Because of the appearance of Utih, everyone did not feel the presence of their ruler as well as the main star of the party. The other guests prostrated themselves realizing their mistake of ignoring the emperor.

"Don't be shy."

"This commotion came from a pent-up feeling," Sudewi said again staring judgmentally at the awkwardly smiling Idaline.

Idaline turned her gaze to see the ceiling of the hall decorated with flowers and unique carvings coming from each region.

"Your Majesty, the dancers have been waiting" Netarja told Hayan, who was still waiting for Idaline's reply, while the woman was still silent with a red face extinguished.

Hayan nodded then passed by sitting on his throne.

Sudewi and Indudewi who continued to struggle turned into a compact during Idaline teasing. The feeling of the girl in their midst was mixed with annoyance and delight. While Netarja several times looked at Hayan who held the tea glass longer than usual.

"Wire," thought the new Rajasaduhiteswari.

••••••••••••••••••••

The second day, also the last day, is the day of the hunt. Hayan shortened the time of the coronation party which usually took ten days to shorten to two days because the war with Wengker was not yet over.

Idaline wears sunglasses because it is not light-resistant gold from various sides that adorn the seats of the guests of honor and because it does not stand the bright sunlight, the sun seemed to pour its light into the hunting grounds.

"Banyu," call Fusena.

"We greet the Great Sage," said the girls, as they chatted with Idaline.

"May you always be given salvation." Fusena extended her hand in blessing.

"I'm sorry" said Idaline to her colleagues.

Idaline and Fusena leave them. Sudewi, Indudewi, Netarja, and other girls stood up straight after the sound of footsteps of the two men was not heard.

"How can a lowly man walk upright by the side of the Great Sage?"

"Miss Sipta, watch your words," reprimanded Netarja staring coldly at Wati, daughter of Asha, concubine of Baga Sapta.

"Pardon me, princess."

"I apologize to the person," said Netarja turned to look at Indudewi and Sudewi alternately. "Rajasaduhirendudewi, uncle was waiting," Netarja said and left them. Since Hayan still did not have a partner, Netarja would accompany him before officially going to the dominion.

"The lowly person you said was Raden Ajeng Paramudita, Sipta Wati." Widya stood looming in front of Wati.

Her sly little sister every day continues to grow stupid because the ideas of her mother, Asha, always break Widya right when they think it has worked, so Wati thought of his own idea but his idea was worse than Asha's idea.

"He didn't need to duck when walking next to his teacher" Widya added, smiling at the presence of people behind him.

"We salute Mr. Counselor" said the girls looking at the two men's fathers who were sitting tensely.

"Do not hesitate, do not hesitate," Baga replied telling the young people to stand up straight.

The girls bow their heads to Baga's wife, Widya's mother, and her concubines and say goodbye to their families.

"Your words are heard all over." Baga's eyes lit up with explosive fury.

"And he was my teacher who you said was a fraud, to take half the budget for the facilities and the payment," Widya turned to face Baga and tilted her head slightly and placed her hands on her chest. "Ananda saluted the father." Widya hid her smile seeing the muscle strokes on Baga's face getting visible.

"Ti.no not dad. I'll slander ananda!" tukas Wati's.

"Ayahanda, ananda leave. Miss Catra's waiting" said Widya.

Baga's gaze softened upon seeing Widya. He is too focused on other girls who are making trouble so do not return Widya's greetings. Baga held Widya's head for a while and raised his hand. "Go away" said Baga.

"Kakanda! We haven't finished this conversation!" cecar Wati's.

"Be quiet! The hunt is about to begin." Baga moved his foot to the horse he had parked. Wati walked cautiously with his mother and his father's wife, as well as three other concubines.

Widya grinned. His father had already gotten a report about Wati's bad behavior first before he spoke.

Idaline taught Widya to cultivate little by little the faults of others, in the future can reveal all of it at once through written and visible facts and then seasoned a little speech to make it hotter. Then a slight mistake will turn into a severe mistake.

Idaline's face was hit by Fusena's back which suddenly stopped. Idaline rubbed her flushed nose like she hit a solid wall. Idaline stared at the nanar of her sunglasses that split into two.

"What the hell?" idaline doesn't feel anyone else's presence.

"Mbakyu, that soul weapon can take you home" Fusena said.

"It still takes some time to control it properly" replied Fusena.

"I've been waiting for six years, it doesn't matter if it's a minute. But.." Idaline crouched down staring at the reflection of her face in the water for a while. "..it belongs to someone else,"

"Other people using it will bring trouble to the surrounding area. Mbakyu didn't think to stay here, did he?" search Fusena.

"Of course not."

"What if last night came asking for permission."

Idaline nodded. "Yes I'll marry him."

Fusena brushed her hair. "Bakyu's joking, right?" he didn't want to hear another answer. Idaline did not answer. "Bakyu, cancel or I send to the prison of souls!" his threat to understand Idaline is strong in its stance.

"What the hell are you trying? It's my life you don't squeak," muttered Idaline.

"It's another world" replied Fusena.

"This is my life" said Idaline, not to be outdone.

"Don't be stubborn, ma'am." Fusena is very understanding, once Idaline makes the decision it will not be easy to change. But now Idaline is breaking the limits she has created herself? "Why?"

"I want to have fun, when I wake up I have to face the harsh world again." Idaline plucked the petals of the flower she picked. "In addition to the village, I keep learning. It's just for a minute, and then study again and again." Idaline stared at Fusena.

"It was for the good of Mbakyu." Fusena noticed Ruru flying above them. "How about marrying me?" Fusena was surprised when Idaline suddenly stood up, the girl on her tiptoes brought her face closer. Fusena jumped, her forehead flushed against Idaline's head.

"It hurts." Idaline rubbed her head which she smashed against Fusena's head. "You are so incomprehensible! After all, you are my sister. Before and now,"

Fusena rubbed Idaline's head removing her red marks and pain.

"Try thinking about how you feel about me and the kids. It was just a feeling of affection for the brother. Just because I'm a girl, you're wrong."

"I know my heart." Fusena ruffled Idaline's hair. "Do it until I'm done. Remember mbakyu, when you realize don't mess around like this,"

"You're so adorable." Idaline pinched Fusena's cheek and ran back to the field.

"Be careful!" shout Fusena.

It would be a lie to say that Idaline doesn't know how Fusena feels. It has a high sensitivity.

And Idaline also lied that she just wanted to play around. Idaline loves Djahan, but one day they will split because Idaline is determined to go home no matter what.

So when there is an opportunity, Idaline will not waste it.

"Everything is gathered" whispered Idaline to Fusena who was standing in front of her.

"Supreme Father, please bless this event," said Hayan. Although his status was already higher than the two great kings of the same island, the Great Sage was still the Great Sage, someone who must be respected by all people including a Maharaja.

It is incumbent upon the High Priest to acknowledge the new king and queen, much less in the land he blessed. Hayan used the opportunity outside of that to show Fusena's support for her.

"Protect Idaline" said Fusena to receive the baton.

"Surely," Hayan replied.

"Hopefully this start a life full of excitement!" Fusena sounds the gong up to three times. "Compete healthily to get the best" he added, and all the horses that had been waiting darted from their places.

"Your Majesty, I greet you." Pamget is standing next to Idaline.

"Accademic chief? Please be comfortable." Idaline was not feeling well, the reddish-bearded old man had too much respect for her.

"thank you. Can I ask for help?"

"Come." Idaline looked sadly at the cake on the table. The hands of the palace chef are second to none and the cake that only comes out on the day of celebration has not been touched. "Everything is disturbing!" inner grumbling. Idaline showed a smile to Pamget who was walking next to her.

"Hamba to His Majesty the Emperor." Netarja chased after Hayan who went from his seat.

"Talk like always when we're both together" said Hayan, heading to his room to change clothes.

"Kakanda, Adinda and the Raden Ajeng are invited by the disciples of the Great Sage."

"You're invited?"

"So you already know?" Netarja thought they were the first ones invited by Idaline.

Hayan smiled wryly. "I'm the first guest."
