Sanggana Swordsman
47. Asmara Negotiations
The Fog Forest.
After winning the Forest of Fog in a Well Champion fight, Joko Calm and Tirana were placed in a log cabin not so far from the flowing river. However, the log cabin was heavily guarded by a number of female soldiers dressed in white.
There is one room to rest. In the front room prepared food, fruit and drinks.
“What next should we do, Kakang?” tirana asked while pouring a drink for her future husband.
“I am worried about the condition of Ginari and Kembang Buangi,” said Joko slowly.
“We must pressure Queen Aswa Tara to give up Ginari and Kembang Buangi in our supervision, Kakang,” said Tirana. “Let me later go to jail to find them. If they are held there, I can secure them from the hands of Aswa Tara.”'s men
“But we don't yet know the existence of Hojabayat.”
“I think we can forcibly extract the captions from the soldiers.”
“I suspect that the men are stationed somewhere. It is impossible for this team of women to be created just like that without a man.”
“Please drink, Kakang,” said Tirana while smiling sweetly. Then it shifted a bit away.
Joko Calm inched near the table and grabbed her glass.
“If indeed Arak Kahyangan is in the Windscreen Kingdom, we must act quickly, Tirana. We do not yet know, how far the Windscreen Kingdom lies and where exactly. If we follow Nyi Lampingiwa's calculations, we only have three days. While the third meeting of the Sumur Champion fight three days later. Obviously can't wait until the fight at Sumur Juara,” Joko said.
“The only way is to bring Ginari and Kembang Buangi to the Windscreen Kingdom today as well..”.
“You will have trouble, darling,” said Joko cut.
Delighted and speechless Tirana when Joko called it “Sayang”. His heart felt caressed at that very moment. Finally Tirana smiled ashamed of herself. This is the second time Joko calls it “Sayang” after the first time Joko called it while in prison.
“Why?” ask Joko.
“I'm happy, Kakang,” replied Tirana honestly with a flushed face embarrassed.
Joko Calmly smiled.
“I must love you, Tirana, as you have poured out your heart, body and time for me. It wouldn't be fair if love and affection just came from you. It would be unfair if only you risked your life for me. I must risk my life for you too.”
“Thank you, Kakang,” said Tirana smiled and wiped away a drop of her harrowing tears. “I feel very lucky to be loved by Kakang.”
Joko Calmly smiled.
“After this affair is over, we meet my teacher to get us married,”.
“The back is wholehearted to really want to get married?” ask Tirana.
“I'm ready. But we can discuss it again after saving Ginari and Kembang Buangi,” said Joko. “If you can find Ginari and Kembang Buangi, directly take them to the Windscreen Kingdom.”
“That means I'll part with Kakang. I can't do it, I have to stay with Kakang,” Tirana said.
“Can't, Honey. If we are seen to move freely together, Queen Aswa Tara can execute Ginari, Kembang Buangi and Hujabayat. We must give priority to Ginari and Kembang Buangi, because they are dying. While we ignore Hujabayat, on the assumption that he is only imprisoned somewhere. You find Ginari and Kembang Buangi, take them away.”
“Good, Kakang. But Kakang should catch up with me to the east soon,” said Tirana.
From outside the house came a female soldier.
“Sincerely servant, Swordsman!” said the soldier in the doorway.
“What's up?” ask Joko.
“Dekar Joko was asked to meet Her Majesty the Queen,” replied the female soldier.
Joko looked at Tirana. The beautiful girl nodded.
“Not long while with the Queen, I will make a fuss,” Joko said slowly to Tirana.
Joko got up and walked towards the door.
“Go ahead!” joko's orders.
The female soldier obeyed. He got out first. It turned out that outside had been waiting for the other five female soldiers to escort Joko.
“Walk you guys first!” said Joko.
The soldiers did as Joko ordered. Joko himself walked four steps behind them. Occasionally the rear most female warrior looked back to confirm Joko's whereabouts.
A number of soldiers remained on guard at the door of the house and its surroundings. Tirana appeared at the door.
“I want a break. I asked that no one come in to bother me except my husband!” tirana said to the two door guard soldiers.
Tirana then went in and closed the door. He went into the room and closed the door.
On his journey, Joko secretly studies the areas and the guardianship through which he passes. Until finally Joko was brought into a large and magnificent room. Along the periphery of the spacious room stood the female soldiers, including on four large columns. The room was lit by the flames of stone torches, for it was not in the sunlight.
After entering the large room a bit, Joko and the soldiers who escorted her arrived at the room with yellow curtains. The outer side of the beautiful curtained room was closely guarded by female soldiers dressed in white as well, but the dress model was different from that of ordinary soldiers. At the door of the curtained room stood a large tall female soldier dressed in dark red. Face's cold. It was Pina Pima.
Upon arrival at the door of the curtained room, the female soldiers who escorted Joko saluted Pina Pima, then turned to leave Joko.
“Please, Swordsman,” said Pina Pima after shifting away from her standing position that blocked the entrance into the curtained space.
Joko Calmly stepped in. Versatile curtain yellow fabric. Joko Calm keeps coming in. Apparently behind the curtains there is a magnificent room that is quite roomy. The curtained space was illuminated by white crystal balls that made the room bright.
There is a thick red mattress-lined divan with soft yellow pillows. The crib was made of beautifully carved black wood. It was there that Queen Aswa Tara sat casually down on the side of the couch. He was wearing white clothes. This time his head was not decorated with tiara or other hair jewelry. Her hair straightened, but did not diminish her beauty with lips that remained red.
Not far from the cots there is a dressing table complete with mirrors and shelves that contain various materials and beauty supplies. In the room there is also a small pond that has several fish statues. From each mouth of the gaping fish came out streams of water that fell into the pond, giving the room natural music.
“Please sit down, Joko,” said Ratu Aswa Tara while smiling sweetly.
Joko Tenang sat on one of the wooden chairs which was five steps from the couch occupied by the queen. In front of the chair was a stone table on which was a set of drinking utensils and a basket of grapes.
“Leave us!” queen Aswa Tara's orders to Pina Pima.
Pina Pima who could hear the conversation inside, immediately stepped away with all the soldiers guarding around the curtained room.
“I want my two women you release, Queen,” Joko said directly.
“That's an easy thing for me to grant. I know you feel unsettled while you have not seen directly the condition of the two of them,” said Queen Aswa Tara while smiling a little, sweetening her beauty. He moved his hair to the left side of all, revealing the clean white side of his right neck.
“You have promised to give Arak Kahyangan,” demanded Joko.
“True. However, there is still one more fight, Joko. Your fight today has made me unwilling to lose you, Joko. You have lured me.”
“Then what do you want, Queen?” ask Joko.
“I want you. I personally offer my heart, my body, and my kingdom. As long as you want to marry me,” said Queen Aswa Tara.
Joko Calm was silent for a moment looking at Queen Aswa Tara.
“Sorry, Queen. How can I lay my eyes and heart to another woman while the two women I love are on the verge of death?” kilah Joko's. “Sorry, I have no interest in beauty, love, treasure and power.”
“You rejected me, Joko? You're not afraid of the two girls' safety?” ask Queen Aswa Tara. He looked coldly without another sweet smile.
“I and my future wife have fulfilled your request, Queen. I can't wait for that third fight. However, if you can give Arak Kahyangan today to my two women, I will fight in the third meeting,” said Joko.
“No. The new Kahyangan Arak I will give after the third fight at Sumur Juara!” queen Aswa Tara. He stood up and walked over to get closer to Joko.
“Stop, Queen!” joko exclaimed when they were four steps away.
“Why, Joko? I can give you warmth and a cradle that you will never get from any woman,” Queen Aswa Tara said in a half whispered voice.
Seeing the unfriendly spirit, Joko Calm immediately stood up.
“If until dusk my two women do not you bring me with Arak Kahyangan, I will not hesitate, Queen!” threaten Joko and then turn away.
Sest! Seps!
Suddenly Ratu Aswa Tara shot a small white light that supported Joko in such a close distance. The attack could not be avoided by Joko Calm. However, the beam hits Joko's back which is protected by a Golden Fire heirloom vest. As a result, the red vest swallowed the white light of Queen Aswa Tara without giving influence to Joko.
Seeing that, Queen Aswa Tara could only glare. He hopes that the cheats attack can put Joko in his control. The attack made Joko turn to face the queen.
“You can't be trusted, Queen,” said Joko.
Joko then turned around. For a moment Queen Aswa Tara did nothing.
“How can a Soul Control Flick be of no use to it in the least?” the Queen of Aswa Tara. He then realized, immediately he went up to the curtained door and shouted, “Soldier, don't let him go!”
“Beat!” shouted Pina Pima loudly from a place a little far away from his queen.
So at that moment, dozens of soldiers who stood guard in the spacious room simultaneously moved to surround Joko Calm with drawn swords.
Pina Pima with a number of special guards immediately came closer to Queen Aswa Tara.
“Send the order to kill those two dying women!” queen Aswa Tara's orders to Pina Pima.
“Good, Her Majesty the Queen,” said Pina Pima. He then nodded to one of his soldiers who immediately ran away.
Meanwhile, the siege of Joko Calm turned out to be no joke. There were three layers of besieging warrior formations. In addition, there were a number of warriors who took out strange iron tools made of large iron. Joko did not know in the slightest what function the tools were each held by two soldiers. (BH)
