Sanggana Swordsman
60. The Queen's Sacrifice
*Kahyangan Arak*
Queen Getara Cinta then sat cross-legged on the floor board room. He moved his pair of hands and ten fingers hooked each other on his lap.
“Hamba please, Her Majesty the Queen! Don't do that!” jagaraya said with a heavy and vibrating voice. The old man nodded while crying.
So much fear of the Commander of Jagaraya for the actions of Queen Getara Cinta makes others so inexhaustible. They can only surmise that Queen Getara Love will do something to save Joko Calm from death.
Suddenly the pair of Queen Getara Love's eyes lit up yellow gold and then dimmed back.
“Hoekh!”
A moment later, Queen Getara Love was nauseous and something spewed out from her mouth and fell into her palm. A small object like a mound was as clear green as dew. After spewing out the green object, it looks like Queen Getara Love changed like a person sitting without energy. His face was cold and pale.
“Your Majesty the Queen!” call Jagaraya weak wailing.
“Tirana, eat this to Joko,” said Queen Getara Love weakly as she extended her hand.
“Thousands of thanks to you, Her Majesty the Queen!” tirana said so happily mixed haru. He took off Joko's body lying on the floor and then deeply and solemnly turned his respects to Queen Getara Cinta.
“Take this Holy Blood Gem!” queen Getara Love's.
Tirana immediately advanced to Queen Getara Love and took the object in her palm. The girl immediately approached Joko back. He forcefully opened Joko's mouth and inserted an object called the Sacred Blood Gem.
Meanwhile, Commander Jagaraya was unable to stop his wailing. No one dared to ask why the powerful Commander of Jagaraya so regretted his master's actions.
“Commander Fragrant!” call Queen Getara Love.
“Hamba, Her Majesty The Queen!” Commander Sugeti Harum immediately came forward and saluted.
“Take a stretcher to take me back to Keratuan!” queen Getara Love's.
“Good, Her Majesty The Queen!” obediently the female commander then immediately moved outside.
Tirana lifted Joko's body and placed it on the side of Ginari who had not yet regained consciousness.
“Tirana!” call the queen.
“Hamba, Her Majesty The Queen!” sahut Tirana and immediately faced.
“When you called Joko a prince, I suddenly realized that the glory of his heart would be so high. He was a prince but willing to sacrifice his life, even though he knew for sure that he would die. Then I asked, why can't I sacrifice like Joko. Though I knew that if I sacrificed, I could still survive for one full moon. That's why I decided to give the Holy Blood Gem, the magical heirloom I have that is also the source of my life. The Sacred Blood Gem will make Arak Kahyangan's poison turn tasteless. So, be happy, everyone you care about is in the process of healing. But after this, I will ask you to do something for me,” said Queen Getara Cinta.
“Hamba is very grateful and grateful with all his soul and heart for the kindness of Her Majesty the Queen. We promise we will do whatever Her Majesty the Queen commands,” Tirana said.
Within a short time, four large-bodied warriors had arrived carrying an oversized, red-colored stretcher decorated with curtains from strands of pearl beads. Fragrant Sugeti who came with them immediately approached his queen.
Queen Getara Cinta extended her hand to Sugeti Harum to help her stand up, because indeed the queen was not able to rise on her own.
“Bring back Arak Kahyang to his place, Jagaraya!” queen Getara Love's.
“Good, Your Highness.”
After Queen Getara Cinta climbed into the pearl-covered palanquin house, the four warriors lifted the stretcher carrying their queen outside. Commander Jagaraya and Sugeti Harum accompanied the departure of Queen Getara Cinta.
Tirana, Nintari, and Sulation remained in the room. Nintari and Sulasih approached Tirana. They saw a change in Joko's body condition. Joko's facial skin and body have changed not as blue as before. However, Joko has not regained consciousness.
“Ti... Tirana!” said a woman calling.
The call was not from Nintari or Sulasi. Tirana who was called immediately turned to look at the cot where the Buangi Flower lay. He saw the right hand of Kembang Buangi raised weakly. Tirana immediately came to Kembang Buangi. He saw the expression of pain on the face of Kembang Buangi had diminished. The exit of the voice from his mouth was clearly an encouraging development.
Tirana sat on the side of Kembang Buangi while smiling gently. Kembang Buangi weakly grabbed Tirana's fingers. The Buangi Flower forced her lips to smile in her still so weak condition. The pain experienced by Kembang Buangi is very traumatic when every moment feels the body as if chopped in every fiber of his flesh. At that time, only Tirana was so close to him. The hujabayat that had made him happy had disappeared in the past few days.
“Thank you,” said Kembang Buangi shrivel.
Tirana just nodded while smiling without breaking up.
“Kakang Joko is safe and secure,” replied Tirana calms him down. He knew, even in a dying condition, Kembang Buangi must follow the process of Joko's struggle against Arak Kahyangan's poison.
“Kakang Hujabayat?” call the Exhaust Flower.
“Don't think about him first. Be rested. You will be with him,” said Tirana.
Kembang Buangi smiled weakly with a faint look.
“Rest,” said Tirana while smilingly caressing the head of Kembang Buangi.
Tirana left Kembang Buangi and returned to Joko Calm.
“I did not expect, I secretly arranged a plan with Big Brother Angel, but instead Kakang Joko kept secret first his reckless plan,” said Tirana.
“What if Joko really dies?” ask Nintari.
“I can't imagine my next life. I have loved Kakang Joko so much,” Tirana replied.
“Is it true that Joko is a prince?” ask Nintari.
“True. I should have kept it a secret. Just this time I had an incredible panic.”
“What kingdom?”
“Sanggana. Perhaps Big Brother Angel never heard the name of the kingdom, the place is far and very hidden,” said Tirana.
“No. What is your position in Sanggana Kingdom?” ask Nintari again.
“Princess of common people.”
“Ordinary folk princess?” nintari's repetition shows a sense of disbelief.
“But I am a close friend of Her Majesty Putri, sister Kakang Joko,” added Tirana who made Nintari smile wryly as mangosteen.
“The poison began to disappear,” said Sulasih who saw the skin color of Joko's face had turned back white, although it still looked pale. Joko's lips turned red again like the lips of a woman who was joking.
“It looks like Arak Kahyangan's poison can only be overcome by the way offered,” said Nintari.
“Then what about Queen Getara?” ask Tirana.
“No need to worry about him. I think Queen Getara has her own calculations so decided to take out the Holy Blood Gem residing in her body. If indeed he had to sacrifice his life, of course it is a choice that is not as bad as Joko take.”
“But Her Majesty the Queen said that the gem was the source of her life,” said Tirana.
“And the Queen mentioned that she had a full moon before her death. Maybe the consideration, if Joko can live on, he believes there is a way to save him,” Nintari guessed. “Why did Joko and you forbid us from approaching her?”
“Sorry, Sister Angel. I can't explain it,” said Tirana.
“Good.”
There were many footsteps leading into the room. Shortly afterwards, a dozen soldiers came in carrying three stretchers to carry the sick. The special stretcher has a curved fabric roof that can be opened and closed.
“Report, Swordsman. Her Majesty the Queen ordered us to bring Swordsman Joko and his two future wives to the East Silver Palace in order to rest in peace!” report a soldier.
Tirana nodded. He then grabbed the body of Joko Calm who was burly muscular, which was actually bigger than his female body. However, it looks Tirana in the slightest does not have difficulty in lifting the body of the future husband.
Tirana laid Joko on one of the palanquins. The roof is opened, he closed again so that later Joko's body will be protected from exposure to sunlight.
Nintari who was small in stature was not inferior to Tirana. He raised Ginari's body larger than his. Sulasih also took the initiative to lift the body of Kembang Buangi.
After the three lay well on the stretcher, the soldiers immediately lifted the stretcher and carried it outside the house. The three women walked with the soldiers. They also wanted to know where the Eastern Silver Palace was located.
“The banquet for me is off,” complained Nintari who made Sulasih laugh. (BH)
