TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
057 - JASMINE

The simple-looking horse carriage runs smoothly carrying the mahapatih wife until it stops in front of the Sedap Malam Kedaton. A small smile rose on the lips of the woman found the atmosphere of her residence did not change in the slightest.

The knight who kept the archway greeted Idaline with delight and reported that her belongings were still safe in place.

Idaline tells them to enter the house. While walking in the courtyard, his nose sniffed the extremely strong scent of jasmine.

Idaline gets goosebumps. In the modern world, he is an indigo, therefore Udelia is not able to drive a private vehicle because often subtle creatures appear around her such as mingling with humans or walking in any place including in the middle of the highway.

Yet he was a little surprised to almost never see such a creature in his new world.

"Is there a kunti here?" muttered Idaline. The laughter of the creature hurt the eardrum and echoed in the head for a long time depending on the loudness of the sound heard.

Idaline closed her eyes as a flying shadow pointed at her. A second later he realized that man was more fearsome than the devil and that fragrances or special events did not always refer to the invisible being.

"Scented jasmine is very fresh why even brought up mystical things anyway?" inner Idaline. He was not aware of himself believing this either.

"Oh yeah, here's treatment. But why the hell is it going all over the page?" idaline said she had fallen down on the grass because her legs were unable to withstand the weight of her slanted body due to fear.

"I got married a few days ago. Is there still some smell? Hii." Idaline shuddered in horror at the thought of those white eyes suddenly appearing before her face.

"Sister!"

The glare of the sun pierced Idaline's eyes, faintly she saw the silhouette of people sticking out their hands at her. "Who are you?" Idaline put her hand on her eyebrow to ward off the sunlight, she sharpened her eyes trying to see the human before her.

"It's been six years, brother!"

"Candra?" Idaline finally recognized the face that had not changed much, only the sweet sister's translucent cheeks turned into a tyranny. And the boy's body was getting taller, there was no longer a round stomach because often he was forced to eat together.

"What do you do with your subordinates?" Idaline observes Candra from top to bottom.

"Yeah!" Idaline closed her eyes. Candra just wrapped her lower body with a piece of cloth. He can even see things that should not be seen.

"Oh brother who won't stand up." Candra moved away and took her clothes and put them on as fast as lightning. "The ladies and gentlemen prepare the pool water for the sister to take a bath. I checked, please use," said Candra lightly without burden.

"I've taken a shower" said Idaline, patting her clothes on the ground. "I don't have time." Rushing Idaline into the main house.

"What is that brother wearing?" tanya Candra saw Idaline open the robe.

"You fuck off!" Idaline slammed the door of the room violently.

"When I asked nicely," muttered sorrowfully Candra.

Idaline changed her clothes with official clothes. His relaxed fabrics have been given to the villagers because they want to stay in Djahan's residence and become a good wife, but there will be a day when he needs clothes to get out.

The roomkeeper who heard the arrival of his master, painstakingly helped to put clothes and decorations on the body of Idaline.

"This is Raden Ajeng's official dress. Too official," Idaline comments on various luxurious ornaments all over her body.

"I'm sorry, Your Honor. We'll replace the right one." Dayang-dang knows Idaline is not too fond of themselves. The face of Idaline has exuded beauty despite only wearing a white cloth, for that the ladies are not too forcing Idaline berias except in the big days.

"There's no time!"

Just a few steps, Idaline's body feels heavy because the jewelry is wrapped around it from head to toe. Idaline decided to sit back at the dresser.

"Do it quickly" Idaline ordered, the ladies and gentlemen approached.

Idaline smiled happily. His body became lighter even though there were still some ornaments stuck to his body. Idaline raised her hand to stop the makeup activities and got up and walked out.

"Your Majesty, please try the first new snack made by the servant based on the recipe left by the owner of the largest shop in Maja Kingdom."

Idaline stared at the kitchen lady who was resting at her feet just as she opened the door. The hand of the lady held her right leg.

"Let go!"

"No, Your Grace. If today does not get an answer, the servant's family will be put to death because the servant did not fulfill the duty."

"If you cannot fulfill a duty, you must be punished accordingly." Idaline stomped her feet off the handrails of the ladyboy. He must arrive on time at Bale' Ageng.

"Your Majesty Raden Ajeng, I plead with you very much. I have two sisters who are only two years old."

Idaline massaged her temples. The time is up and the reading of the change of ministers will be over, he must be present there so that the issue of the election of the maharani can be resolved without involving himself and his friends.

But the fear of her housekeeper was not just a joke.

"Hurry up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Haha. It turns out to be a bother so Raden Ajeng." Candra covered her mouth using her hands looking at Idaline's sharp gaze.

"You helped me too." Idaline raised her index finger towards Candra's face..

"Son't know I don't like sweet." Candra.

It is certain that the food that will be provided by the ladies is sweet food, there is no crazier sweet enthusiast in the palace other than Idaline. And her brother had forgotten about her, Candra was a sweet-tasting hater.

"Aren't you the one responsible?" reply Candra expression shy.

As a shadow that had to be blurred flashed across Idaline's head, Idaline walked away enduring the embarrassment. Candra said, she must take responsibility for seeing things that should not be seen.

It's not just women who deserve responsibility!

Idaline shook her head. He and Candra sat in a circular Bale' Bengong chair with a large round table in the middle. The table was filled with food and the ladies were still lined up longitudinally holding other types of cakes.

"They want to make me taste or finish my chocolate supply?" lamented Idaline but still devoured the cakes on her plate.

"Come, brother." Candra sniffed her shoulders. He could not stand it anymore after four mouthfuls.

"How's it been all this time?"

"Everything is bad because brother left without news. But hearing the reason I understood. Next promise, don't you go again?" Candra sticks out her little finger on Idaline.

Idaline scooped the cake while staring at that finger. "It can't be promised" he said, closing his eyes to enjoy the chocolate melt in his mouth.

"There are ten types of food. My teeth will perforate" lamented Idaline. All the dishes on the table were empty because the lady-in-waiting only gave small pieces like a five-star restaurant.

"Tell your errand boy ten of these types of delicacies and delights. The others do it again later or my stomach will hurt." Idaline stuck her back on the parapet while stroking her big belly.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

"Sister, I miss you," said Candra laying her head on Idaline's thigh.

Idaline did not have time to reprimand Candra because her eyes suddenly became heavy. Idaline repeatedly blinked her eyes trying to stay conscious. He looked at the ladies who were partly confused and partly scared.

Candra who saw Idaline lose consciousness immediately caught her body that was about to fall.

"What are you guys doing?!" growled Candra realized her own body was also a little uncomfortable, but she did not think too much about it as she concluded it was just a result of exhaustion. It turned out that the assumption was wrong, some were so brave to touch Raden Ajeng.

"Please forgive us!" The ladies prostrated with trembling bodies.

"My sister who is famous for being aloof and cold also does not like to talk turns out to be very different." Bayu appeared from behind the crowd of maids.

"Sir Bayu.. Did your master tell you to?"

"If you remember who my master is there should be no need to question him. Get Raden Ajeng, I'll take him to bed." Bayu stuck out his hand trying to reach Idaline, but Candra rejected Bayu's hand violently.

"Are you serious?" tanya Bayu could not believe seeing the abundant energy coming out of Candra's body.

"I don't care about anyone else!"

Idaline frowned feeling a pain in her head. Candra reabsorbs her power not wanting to hurt the woman in her carrier. Candra takes Idaline to the bed and channels her energy carefully. Then Idaline opened her eyes forcefully making her head heavy and twisting.

"Drink first, brother." Candra gave me a glass of water. Idaline drank it with a single throat

 "Who did it?!" Idaline jaw hardens. He took off the blanket and hurried off without his footwear.

"Sister, put on your theme first!" reprimand Candra crouched down to pick up the Idaline theklek lying on the shoe rack. While carrying thelek, Candra followed behind the woman.

"How long has it been?"

"Nearly three hours," answered Candra crouched down in front of Idaline, grabbed Idaline's smooth white feet, cleared the ground attached to the soles of those feet, and put on red footwear.

Candra held Idaline's hand and helped her walk and she wrapped her hands around Idaline's waist, Candra helped Idaline who was still a little careless riding on the horse carriage.

"Why are you going up?" idaline asked Candra who stood on the stairs of the train.

"Sister is still weak."

"You take care of Kedaton." Idaline closed the door and then knocked on the wall of the train. "Ke Bale' Ndamel Maharaja."

The train stopped right at the door. The coachman placed the stairs on the door of the train to make it easier for Idaline to get down. The two door guards were silent as Idaline passed them.

"Teacher, what's the rush?" Hayan who was facing the other direction turned to greet Idaline with a smile.

"Maharaja, we have to talk!"

Huna Catra who was there bowed to Hayan and Idaline and walked out to leave them.

"Let go Widya Sipta, I will give my blessing to the new land in Bhumi Maja." Idaline's eyes caught a familiar body silhouette behind another door.
