TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
064 - IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER WOMAN

Opportunity is something that is very valuable especially if the opportunity is a way to correct the mistakes in the past. Many people hope to return to choose the right path. But a second that had just passed was the most distant thing in this world. No one can give it except the Almighty God.

On this occasion Hayan will correct his mistake even though with a way that seems selfish, he does not care. Slowly but surely Hayan will deliver what Idaline had hoped for in the past. A request that should be the right of each couple.

It is love and compassion.

There is no one word or deed that shows affection let alone love for the woman. The man paid no heed to the rain of love his woman made until the time came when they were no longer together.

The time they spent together was plenty, but the man kept paying attention just to wait for him to make a mistake. He's succeeding.

And he regretted it too.

"Open your mouth" Hayan ordered to feed the rice with his hands.

Idaline kept her face away from Hayan's hands. "I've been taking medicine regularly. Go."

"You only eat bananas every time you take your medicine. If you haven't eaten rice, you will continue to see me" Hayan threatened. Idaline could do nothing but ignore Hayan and Hayan using it to threaten him. Hayan did not want Idaline to get sick.

"This land is yours. You can do anything." Idaline took her breath. "You are the law. Whatever you do, no one's gonna bother you." Idaline's brows furrowed at Hayan. He doesn't like the way Hayan grabs her but he can't hate her. I don't know why his anger wasn't as big as it was before marriage.

After marriage, she felt like this was the way it should have been.

"I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to food back then. If only you said you were pregnant..."

Idaline stroked and looked at her stomach. "I don't know either" she cried. "If you don't bother. We must be a happy family!" idaline said, her eyes glistening with anger.

"I do not regret making you a maharani" said Hayan. "Now eat right. Or am I calling Miss Sipta to take care of you?"

"Don't!!" reject Idaline. "You haven't told anyone, have you?" Idaline. There was no way Hayan would embarrass himself.

It could be that people will think Hayan and Idaline have done nothing or people will know Hayan has separated two people from their owners, many people do not know Idaline has a husband.

"Yes." Yeah." Hayan didn't want people to make things difficult for him. Sapta Prabu including the Queen Mother in it will rethink the existence of Idaline if it knows Idaline ever contains.

Hayan had previously said convincingly that Idaline and Djahan were unlikely to go that far in the near future.

Just like her old self.

But apparently not. The two men expressed love to each other by combining love.

"I'll eat. Keep this news a secret." Idaline sat up straight. "And I want to meet Djahan."

Hayan feeds the rice to Idaline, the woman does not refuse it. "alright. Enough to gumatel."

Idaline took a breath. Rumatel time is the time when the sun has started to heat up or around 09.00 am. Idaline looked up at the clear sky and estimated that time had just passed from seven in the morning.

In the middle of the party that has not ended, the arrival of Djahan is done without a trace using a disguise train. The golden order that should not be rejected requires him to come to the Capuri Palace.

Djahan staggered back as he was about to give his greetings. There were no maids and maids inside the main house even the doorman was absent, the door was wide open as if allowing him to enter without waiting for an invitation.

"Djahan, I'm sorry" said Idaline sobbing.

"I know you have a reason." Doubtfully Djahan stroked Idaline's head. However, his current status is the maharani, his superior and his superior spouse.

"Not that. I'm. I miscarried. Baby.we.." Idaline. He could not continue the next word. He dropped his face into the chest of Djahan's field to soak his crying voice.

"What?!"

"I didn't know I was pregnant and I traveled far. Not taking care of my food. Not taking care of this baby properly," said Idaline while sobbing. He spilled a tightness in his chest.

Truly a tiny baby of the love of a husband and wife is the greatest gift, but he can not keep the gift properly. He felt like the worst man in the world.

Idaline does not like children too much, but that does not mean she does not like children in her own womb. He's very sorry. It felt like he went back to the day before he ventured and sat obediently in the Sedap Malam Kedaton. It could be that Hayan would release the two of them.

Idaline is really sorry.

"It has. It's been. Not salahmu. It's not your fault." Djahan hugged the Idaline tightly. He felt guilty not taking care of his family properly. "Not what.. It's okay.." Djahan closed his eyes holding the pain in his heart.

He should have realized since Idaline suddenly disappeared on their first night, that something was wrong with him. Moreover, the next Idaline left him only to become the Empress.

Djahan knows Idaline is not greedy. It is impossible for Idaline to abandon herself except to return home to her world.

Idaline's body was squeezing, her consciousness was disappearing. Djahan swiftly carried him to the long chair there. He sat down next to Idaline, rubbed his head fondly and kissed her forehead long and deep. In silence he swore he would do what should be done.

"It's gumatel." Hayan gasped to feel a keris stuck to his neck.

"What am I doing? It would only hurt him and could even cause death" Hayan said calmly. "I've been hard-earned to get it," he added to make Djahan grieve.

"I swear I won't let you go if it hurts him," Djahan's vow brought a rumble, he put his dagger back into the sheath.

"Before that too. You didn't mention his name." Hayan moved his eyes and the Hayan shadow knights disappeared from behind Djahan. "Because Idaline is a modern person. Right?" Hayan looked at Djahan seriously.

Djahan took his eyes off Hayan and turned to look at Idaline. "Then you want to put him in jail?" tanyanya did not argue.

"You know such a person can suddenly disappear, return to his place. Just like my two spies."

"I think the queen mother hates them so much" said Djahan, stepping his feet to where Idaline was lying limp.

"of course. Rebellion after rebellion in the days of the uncle and in the early days of the queen mother's ascension to the throne is still very effective." Hayan clutched both of his hands behind his back. He was actually holding a great anger right now. The man in front of him had snatched away the sanctity of his dowry! Hayan could not accept it.

Hayan took a deep breath and tried to quell his anger. "Rather than making him feel a momentary good dream, it is better for him to do what is necessary with his strength and intelligence." Nah! Hayan would not let Idaline go from his side, anymore. Hayan will make sure his dowry continues to be by his side despite having to defy fate.

Djahan stroking Idaline hair. "He has to do as he wants, but I know he has a reason. So, don't hurt him," pressed Djahan at the end of the sentence.

"What about you? Your heart is full for this land. When your parents were killed, with that shrouded mind you were still thinking about the fate of this land. You told King Vijaya about the arrival of the Mongols who had already destroyed your hometown and were preparing to invade other areas."

Djahan probed Hayan's face which looked confident. Of course, the details of the story are recorded for tactical purposes in the future if met the same thing.

"You're doing a rebellion because King Jayanagara keeps doing indecent things, you're very brave to make a decision in the truth. Do not hold grudges when your power is sealed and turned weak. You even want to teach the Queen Mother how to be a true and strong leader" Hayan said.

"If it's not someone like you on my side to unify the islands, is there still anyone worth it?" Hayan extended his hand. "Hows it? Do you want to?" tanyanya.

"You want me to work with you?" Djahan looked at Hayan in disbelief. The man had just separated himself from the woman he loved and was now inviting him to work together? Djahan could not understand Hayan's mind! Or has the man gone mad because of the throne and power?

"Relax, I will remain in this position until the new mahapatih is ready," added Djahan showering Idaline's face with a kiss. He did not care even if there were crazy people watching him furiously.

••••••••••••••••••••

Idaline was soaking in the sulfur pond, she enjoyed the relaxing sensation of sulfur and the fragrant aroma of incense ignited on her right side, the massage on her shoulders and nape added to her beautiful fresh body.

It had been two months and as long as Idaline stayed in the Capuri Palace, she did nothing. Just sleeping, eating, enjoying the yard, and lazing around. "perfect. Haha." Idaline laughed. Despite being on the same page, Hayan only accompanied him in the morning as before and went to start activities.

"You are" whispered the lady.

"No dare" another whispered.

"Speak," Idaline's command made the two whispering ladies-in-waiting flinch.

"Your Majesty, we have heard rumors that His Majesty the Emperor is looking for another woman. During this time your task is done by the great Miss Mihir," one of them explained.

"I must thank him" Idaline replied calmly.

"But Your Highness, the lady already has a fiancee. But he retreated and instead came close to His Highness the Maharaja continued. Even until nightfall. In public places it is always seen together until the new royal envoy of friends thinks they are a couple. They thought Miss Mihir was the Empress," the great-grandson of the last sentence.

"What about Miss Mihir's movements?" ask Idaline. Her replacement was very excited.

"Magician Miss always approached Her Majesty even when meeting with the men, Miss Mihir is waiting for Her Majesty at the exit."

"Take care of your words" Bejo said, appearing with several ladies-in-waiting. The dayang brought a variety of food and drinks. "Mihir Lady only brought a list of unmarried girls and a list of newly grown girls. It's time to do the concubine selection."

"That's even worse" said the ladies in their hearts.

"Let's put it aside first. Your Highness, the beef that you said is ready."

"So, I'm lazy." Idaline was upset. He does not want to share and Bejo says as if he should share. He was about to let go but hearing Bejo's explanation, he became very upset. "I want to eat goat gulai," he said giving another job. Idaline was so lazy to see Bejo's face.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Bejo went with his ladies.

"Tell me everything you know." Idaline wakes up receiving a towel from the daydress. "No one is left behind!" added fiery.
