About An Ordinary Girl

"How do you know?" Umbara looked at his brother in surprise. How can a cleaned sword smell like blood?

"You used it recently?" Ganendra instead asked Umbara again. "During the time I trained with you, I never smelled blood from that sword. You used it on someone? "

Umbara is amazed by Ganendra's analytical skills. He is indeed great. Finally, Umbara nodded. "You're right," replied Umbara.

"Why would a king use his sword? Don't you have a lot of bodyguards? "

Ganendra probed, staring intently at Umbara. Umbara took a deep breath. "No. I just want to save someone with my own hands," replied Umbara.

"A woman?" Ganendra guessed. It was rare for Umbara to take out her sword. A king will never use a sword unless it is of his own volition. Many guards were willing to die for the king. Why did Umbara take out a sword and kill someone?

Umbara sniffed his nose and smiled faintly. He imagines the time he drew his sword to help a woman who was being mistreated. A woman who caught his attention from the first time he met her

"I guess I was right." Ganendra saw the smile plastered on Umbara's face, and he could tell what he had just said was true. "I think this kingdom will soon have a queen," said Ganendra.

Umbara's smile faded slowly when Ganendra said those words. Queen? It doesn't feel that easy. Bhanurasmi had told Umbara not to choose a queen arbitrarily and that she had to match her mother's criteria.

"Can I make anyone be a queen?"

"Of course, you are a king. You can make anyone the Queen of your kingdom. " Ganendra encouraged Umbara, even though he clearly knew the concern that was shown on his brother's face was when he faced Kanjeng Ibu Bhanurasmi, who wanted the criteria for the Queen to always be perfect. Starting from where she came from, education and all kinds of other things must be the best. Ganendra could sense that Umbara was starting to feel burdened by it.

"I can get any woman I want, but not to give the position of Queen to just anyone. After all, she's just an ordinary girl. Not from the nobility. " Umbara told the truth to Ganendra. During this time, the two of them had never hidden such things. Both Ganendra and Umbara often pour out their hearts.

"So she's just an ordinary girl?" asked Ganendra.

Umbara nodded slowly. "Yes, why would I use a sword against noble girls? They already have their own bodyguards. She's just a weak girl from the lower classes who attracted me the first time I met her," explained Umbara.

There's nothing wrong with falling in love or being attracted to a girl; it's just that Umbara's position isn't easy. The king must control himself to maintain the good name of the kingdom. At a time like this, Ganendra felt lucky not to be in the position of the King.

"You still often disguise yourself as an ordinary noble and leave the kingdom?" Ganendra tried to change the topic. He already knew his brother's habits. Since becoming crown prince, Umbara often disguises himself and plays outside the palace. Ganendra feels now that Umbara is still doing it. Where did Umbara meet ordinary girls from the lower classes if they were not outside the palace?

"You want to come with me?" Umbara looked at Ganendra, who was currently staring far into the front of the field.

"I don't need to disguise myself. No one will know who I am even if I go out wearing clothes like this," Ganendra replied. He was attempting to make a joke and laugh aloud. "And no one cares if I'm attracted to or in love with an ordinary girl."

Umbara didn't know whether to be sad or happy to hear this. He was lucky because he could do whatever he wanted, but Ganendra should also be entitled to the throne in this kingdom because he was the son of his father. even from a concubine. Speaking of concubines, Umbara remembered that the girl who had just been told to Ganendra was now at the concubine's house. Umbara must find a way to visit the concubine's house.

"I will bring it to you one day." Umbara imagined Sekar's face. Umbara doesn't know what he will do first when he meets Sekar later. What is clear is that Ganendra must know who is the girl that attracts Umbara's attention.

"Wow, I'm so curious about how beautiful she is that you want to show it to me," Ganendra replied, then laughed. Umbara is very interested in this girl who has just been introduced to him. Will this be a love story with a happy ending, or is it for the two of them? What is clear is that their path will not be easy until the end.

"You'll know when the time comes," replied Umbara.

Listening to Umbara's interest in a girl, Ganendra recalled that he had met a unique girl in the palace this afternoon, and that made Ganendra offer a point of view that made the girl consider

While they were both still busy telling stories, Krisna approached them both. Bow down to them.

"What is it?" asked Umbara. From the behavior of this confidant, he wanted to convey something.

"I received a message that Kanjeng Ibu has finished visiting the concubine's house and is going to the King's residence. I think Baginda should return because Kanjeng Ibu has already walked there, "explained Krisna.

Umbara sighed, facing Ganendra. "Unfortunately, we have to end today's training," he said.

"No problem, Kanjeng Ibu came looking for you, and that is more important."

Ganendra smiled sincerely. As he said earlier, their status is no longer what it was when they were children. Umbara was already King and there was no way they could play as freely as they used to.

"Then I will go. I hope you don't refuse every time I call you. " After an obedient nod from Ganendra, Umbara turned around and walked away. Accompanied by Krisna, behind him.

"What else will Kanjeng Ibu do?" Umbara turned to Krisna and kept walking.
