GALIH AYU (The General)
a quiet day

one night Aum spent time with her brother until late.he slept as the sun slowly rose to the surface, once again he would be absent from the family breakfast. And also the best way to avoid nagging her grandmother.

' wake me when the sun is already ' said aum to the ladies.

and aum fell asleep until noon.he woke up hearing a noise in front of the door of his room. vaguely he recognized whose voice it was, who was,

' mom what's up ?' asked Aum with a hoarse voice typical of people waking up.

the mother glared annoyed to see her daughter had just woken up from sleep.

' how can women wake up this session ?' Sandrani looked at her daughter helplessly, she came up with some tailors to measure new clothes for Aum.

while Aum scratched his nape unconsciously, he still uses a thin nightgown.he is in a dilemma to tell the guest of the mother into his room.

' mother will wait in your pavilion, so immediately take a shower and follow the mother there ' break up Sandrani firmly.

Aum happily rushed to close the door of her room and waited for the ladies to prepare her bath.

...****************...

Aum followed the mother to the pavilion wearing clothes that would be used to practice later in the afternoon. Aum thinks all of you than later he has to bother changing clothes again is a waste of time.

' jeez princess seroja very unexpected ' one of the cloth sellers who realized the arrival of Aum exclaimed unexpectedly that the only daughter of the Bhandoro family was so simple.

' I'm sorry to have made the mistress all wait for me ' said Aum politely, he immediately sat by the mother's side.

' the princess is very simple not like people talk about ' said the madam cloth seller.

' we don't bother about anything that's just a joke, which we know our daughter is far from what they're talking about ' sandrani lightly brushed aside the subtle innuendo of the seller.

' right sister, our Aum is too perfect to talk about by their foul mouth ' the voice of the true mistress of the house Bhandoro came with another concubine. Larasaty sat down by Aum's side and grabbed the rough hands of the only daughter of this extended family.

' mother' welcomes Aum, she reciprocates the clutches of the mother's hand continued.

if the women gather, the gossip all over the city can be changed into hearing, even though their hands are moving, but everyone's mouth is full of stories in this week, his mother and larasaty mother really enjoy activities that Aum thinks are very boring.Aum has hidden his sleepiness several times. the mother of the youngest concubine of the father just laughed to see Aum who died dying trying to survive among the mothers who did not stop gossiping. after taking measurements Aum undur first to practice. he rushed away afraid his mother changed her mind and pulled him in that boring circle again.

' then what color do you want ?' larasaty asked as Aum was about to leave.

' Aum entrust all to the mother' replied Aum politely, he sat in the heart that the mother would not hold it any longer.

' well, you can go. leave it to mom's gonna be all right ' Larasaty is proud, without knowing the youngest daughter has run away from her.

' you fooled sister' Sandani said to Larasaty and countered with a face of disbelief.

laughter filled the pavilion until late afternoon.

...****************...

Aum gets to the training pendopo soon after escaping from the mothers. Graha who had been entrenched there since this morning was resting after making a match with Older Brother Aum.

somehow Aum and Graha's relationship is sometimes not just between the servant and the employer but a fellow friend.maybe because Aum never considered Graha his subordinate so they became very close to each other.

' ndoro Adhi is indeed unmatched, he is a talented young general where there is me who is just a weed of this princess said Graha upset. he poured sweat, he was sweaty,

' why did I arrive early ? make me have to fight tading with ndoro Adhi I become battered like this. apes apes ' Graha does not stop complaining.

Aum just smiled listening to Graha's carelessness, already used to it.

' then where is my brother now ?' ask Aum.

Graha pointed with her chin, in the pavilion at the end of the field it was seen that Mas adhi was talking to the prince panji.why is that person here asked Aum inwardly.

' princess tau prince panji's wife like sap jackfruit just stick to the prince anywhere' graha's nagging.

Aum looked at the graha not understanding,

' that there will be a pregnant woman who is walking the road, that's her mistress prince panji' point the house on the other side of the training field.

the woman would want to make because again like at the store at that time. Aum hoped that they would not say hello if they could, Aum already felt tired when he saw the woman was in a place that otherwise could not be visited by other noble women.

' prepare me the horse and the board move, I want to practice 'Aum commands a disciple nearby to prepare his practice.

' let's use the formation that we discussed last night with brother, call a few more disciples for my partner Graha immediately went to the resting place of the disciples.

...****************...

throughout the afternoon Aum moved from one end of the field to the other, with some disciples used to complete their formation several times having to repeat again.

' I think more tomorrow we train with my soldiers only, they suck at riding Aum's horse pissed off from his horse.

Graha swiftly took the big bow from Aum's hand.

' it's better princess, pity they battered falling off the horse' Graha advises.

actually Aum knew that the disciples were still the beginning, and not long-distance specialists and ambushes like him so they could not match the rhythm that Aum made. he will train tomorrow with his soldiers who were with him during the war 2 years ago.

' I will practice my long-range archery skills for just a moment, let's look at the board there house' said Aum and he prepared his proud bow and arrow.

after a while of the dozens of arrows that Aum threw were just a few that did not reach the target board and there were also those that exceeded the target and shot too far into the forest. yet that little thing had caused a huge ripple instantly.

there was a scream coming from the direction of the forest immediately everyone rushed towards the source of the sound, Aum followed immediately but he felt his premonition to be unpleasant.

that woman, hayuning tyas must be doing another trick to bring him down.
