TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
061 - HEART

Jewelry has always been the pride of women to add to her beauty or just show her better possessions than her friends.

But not for Idaline. As Udelia she only wore earrings that had been in her ears since infancy with a necklace with a round pendulum hanging from her neck since the age of three months.

And as an Idaline he only wears a stone ring given by Candra to be easy to use, while all jewelry given Djahan he keeps neatly and Djahan does not dispute his wishes.

But now Idaline must wear the official clothes Raden Ajeng every meeting with people. Not to mention that the jewelry will get heavier with its inauguration.

"It's over, Your Majesty."

Idaline opened her eyes. Not caring about the thick reddening of the lips, Idaline got up from the dresser and walked out. He threw a smile at someone who was waiting in the living room.

"You are so beautiful" welcome the man from his seat and draw near to Idaline.

"Rakryan Tumenggung!" reprimand the head of the lady when Indra does not let her eyes off the face of Idaline. Chief defense minister Bhumi Maja was very over the line by boldly raising his head at the prospective Maharaja couple.

"Leave us," Idaline ordered as the head of the ladyboy was about to help her sit down.

"But Your Majesty.."

"It's an order" asserted Idaline.

"Hamba please step down."

Hearing the sound of the door being closed violently Indra cleared her mood. "Idaline is getting prettier every day" she said.

"Sorry I can't linger. Tomorrow I will go straight back to the Sanjaya Grand Residence. I'll call when I get there. I'll make sure everything's done quickly."

Without sitting back or lingering, Indra placed the box containing his homemade bandha into Idaline's right hand and then left. He forgot to ask the reason Idaline locked herself in the day of the victory of Bhumi Maja over Wukir Mahendra or now called Wukir Lawu.

Idaline cursed her hesitant self in speaking, should she interrupt Indra to be clear and clear about the non-serious promise. But today is a happy day, abstinence for him breaks the heart of a happy person. He just wanted to ask for time to meet at the right time, but it seemed like the man had no time.

Idaline placed Indra's gift box on top of a small closet and entered her room, with no intention at all to attend the victory party.

Victory party, a party held to greet the soldiers and give gifts to the meritorious. It was done for a full week.

Idaline pensive, re-thought about the decision she had taken, whether the decision she made was right? Couldn't Hayan be as strong as he thought? Not as powerful as he thought?

But at the age of five, Hayan was able to coldly and without guilt or regret annihilate one large family just because one of its members threw the word 'stupid' to Hayan. Especially now that the man had a calling animal.

Fusena mentioned that it should not be involved with the royal family anymore, especially Hayan who was already much stronger. But when Idaline asked to be carried around, Fusena refused and let Idaline stay in the kingdom. It was only when Idaline realized her feelings for Djahan that Fusena asked her to be together.

Idaline swallowed her heart. To be honest he felt very sick parting with Djahan especially at this little time, the time they should have used to carve out good memories. Although Dina has promised to teach Idaline how to cross dimensions, her success is still not guaranteed. Dina's family shares power with the creatures there whereas she doesn't.

Idaline grabbed the golden scroll stored on the right side of the table. He opened it wide and read it carefully again.

We celebrate a great victory, the Jiha also celebrate their great day. Come to Bale' Ndamel there is something to be made clear.

Idaline rolled it up and put it back in its place. Fill out a quick message like discussing a close friend. But the Jiha tribe located on Wakwak Island should not be made friends, at least as long as they are still the same.

Jiha tribe, jiha means soul or life, they get the nickname because they want the lives of everyone they see, of course people outside their group. From the many news stories heard, not a single person had survived.

Those who are grasped by their souls will see their bodies made into soup and devoured by the people of the Jiha Tribe until they are mad and their souls disappear by themselves and go inside jugs are available there. So said the favorite son of the chief who no longer ate humans after drowning in the lake.

Idaline looked in the mirror. He cleaned his face carefully and removed any ornaments attached to his head. "You're really gonna kill me?" idaline asked while brushing her hair. In the upper corner of the mirror, people dressed in black were hiding on rooftop horses.

"Come, Your Majesty. It feels like you will run because you are in the palace and have met Mr. Sanjaya. Although the supreme leader is the Maharaja, many are also close to Rakryan Tumenggung. And the ladies in the residence of Mahapatih are as strong as rangga." Huna opened the cover of her face. The people who were with him were quietly waiting behind him.

"You doubt the quality of our knights" said Idaline, putting down her comb.

"Hamba only predicted the worst situation." Within a few days, Huna was frustrated. Had Idaline not had any attachment to two great men, there would have been no opposition to the Maharaja's decision.

"Sapta Prabu must be disappointed in you."

Huna and four others kneeled behind Idaline. Pupil Petapa Agung should not be disturbed. Everyone who was raised a disciple by the Great Sage must have broad intelligence.

"Please Your Majesty give me a hint" Huna said pleading.

"And I am the one to be guided" replied Idaline. The promise he made when he thought he was coming home, his shadow of being the perfect wife, and the safety of his best friend. "Which one?" Idaline held her forehead.

Huna and his friends fell silent. Little did they know of the fatigue that Idaline was experiencing. The emperor will do everything to get what he wants. And it looks like their employer found Idaline's greatest weakness.

"What is Miss Sipta?" inner Huna. "But Miss Sipta did not refuse and to my knowledge the Maharaja did not threaten her. Unless Miss Sipta refuses, there will be consequences, all who refuse the decree will be punished greatly. But miss Sipta did not refuse," thought Huna getting confused.

"Help me get rid of this mark on my forehead" Idaline broke up. Idaline takes the positive side of things that happen. At least apart from Djahan can slowly evaporate his love and Idaline can return home with a roomy heart.

"Sorry, Your Honor. This can only be done by the judiciary" Huna declined. Everyone has to abide by the rules or else everyone can arbitrarily create and eliminate the mark of marriage.

"Tell Sapta Prabu that I will be the Maharani. About the others, let me take care of."

"Okay, Your Honor," said Huna, who disappeared from Idaline's room.

"Huh." huh." Idaline let out a long sigh staring at the ceiling. "If I go home now, will it be okay?"

"She, there's another one of your people who has a very deep black hole" said Utih appeared beside Idaline who was still dumbfounded.

Through Utih's curious remarks about the huge difference in black holes in the hearts of modern people, Idaline knows their position in the world she occupies.

"He's in Patenggeng. His name is Sumbi and his son Kuriang. You know that weird thing about college? The bidadara who was cursed to be a dog is the father of the child. Strangely enough, he's the dog that the mother and the child are looking after."

Utih shook his head while clucking. A man nurtured his wife and child? As the white tiger led the male family guard, Utih could not imagine it.

Idaline straightened her body hearing an interesting story. "What's? Kuriang?" his enthusiasm.

"When I rest on the hill, there is no strangeness. The night was just felt, and the mother hit her son in the head. I really don't understand." As a good mother, Utih never suddenly beat her son, except in a fight. But the woman was so awake from sleep that she directly beat her own child's head without any apparent reason.

"Then the dog? How's wail?"

"The dog still exists. And celeng angel is also still in the forest. Oh yeah, the kid ran into the woods." Utih considering that the child just ran past him, was the child too hurt to not feel his presence or because he thought it was a man-made statue so he did not feel afraid?

"It hasn't happened yet but he beat up his son?" Idaline cut her eyebrows. The story that emerged from Utih's mouth was different from the story he had known. Idaline is curious.

"Yes? Ah I don't understand."

"I want to visit!" exclaiming Idaline rubbed her hands while smiling widely.

"Come on! The man must be busy with the party, better refresh the head," Utih asked.

"It's very good at talking." Idaline stroked Utih's head fondly.

••••••••••••••••••••

Utih closed Idaline's eyes using her tail. They think that the owner of the house is asleep but turns out to be loving.

"(It's crazy you did it with a dog!!)" idaline's screams could not cover her shock.

"(Dog from man?! You don't see this beautiful body proportion? And didn't you read the story of L–eh wait, you?!)" Sumbi ran towards Idaline making the cloth fall.

A man who by day had a tail behind his body and at night had a tail in front of his body wrapped around the origin of the cloth on his waist then he grabbed the body of his wife and brought her into the room.

"That's indomitable," muttered Idaline holding a hot tea, warming herself up. Sumbi and Tuman sat in front of him, while Utih went into the forest.

"Mr Tuman must know Sumbi who is now not the princess you used to serve. I came to take him home."

"If you knew this story, I should have come back" Tuman said.

"But you haven't come back yet" replied Idaline. "Did you give up being a bidadara just to be with a fake Sumbi?"

"Hey I'm not a fake!" sumbill Bulb. The woman he thought he could be a friend suddenly said something that ruined his happiness. He felt very lucky to be with Tuman.

"I called him here. Before and now, Sumbi is Sumbi, my wife," Tuman said.

"Haha." Idaline laughed awkwardly. "Sumbi, you really don't want to go home?"

"My life is over, now change to a new life." Sumbi did not want to return to that hellish life. With Tuman he was very happy.

"But why did you hit Kuriang?"

"The point of his existence is the death of Tuman, after all he will find great ascetics." Sumbi felt very guilty about hitting a small child, so he remembered his own parents. But if the story goes on, Tuman, who is very attentive to her, will die at the hands of his own son.

Idaline patted her eel. "You still seem to be unstable. This forest is full of wild animals."

Idaline's speech made Sumbi flinch. The woman did not think until there. He considers this forest the same as a harmless hometown.

"He's right. What if the child dies?" Sumbi worries about a small child who may have a bump on the head due to his very hard blow.

"You just calm down. I gave her a necklace. Although the power as a bidadara is almost exhausted, I remain above many humans" said Tuman.

"I'll just come straight here as soon as I hear a new soul coming." Idaline finished her tea and stood up. "Here please enjoy your time. Sumbi, meet me at Bhumi Maja if you change your mind. In a year's time I'll be back." Idaline came out of the hut.

Tuman who saw his wife was dumbfounded, patting her on the shoulder until Sumbi regained consciousness, hurriedly went to Idaline. "Hey, we haven't even gotten acquainted. My name is Daya" said Sumbi introduced himself.

"I'm Udelia. This is Idaline. Maybe soon we'll meet officially." Idaline boarded Utih who had come then went and disappeared behind the dark forest.

The dark day turned bright, Tuman again turned into a dog and Kuriang came covered in blood all over his body with a heart clasped in his hand.

"Mom, don't be angry again, will you? It's the animal heart that you want."

The bulb that never saw the blood splashed trembled, a drop of two drops did not matter but if it flooded the body, the tuber felt nauseous. While Tuman was transfixed, he felt his companion's energy from the heart.

"It just feels weird. I want to go home." Idaline hugged Utih's back.

"My son no longer needs protection. Your turn. Wherever I'll follow." Utih smiled feeling the regular roar of breath on her back.

Wakwak Island is not Fakfak Island. According to Mr. Bastian Zulyeno in republika.co.id, Wakwak Island is in the Mentawai area, Sumatra. The island is contained in the legend of the Middle East, the story of One Thousand and One Nights. On Wakwak Island there is a unique tree whose fruit resembles the head of a woman with long hair and if it falls will sound Wakwak so named so.
