GALIH AYU (The General)
Shadow Lantern

the night was getting late, under the dim lantern yes swinging in the air which slowly entered through the window that was left open a little.

Aum was still reading a stack of books, his hair was left in the wind.His black nightgown made the skin of his face become paler.

after successfully making the father stay with his mother tonight, Aum immediately cleansed himself and enjoyed this kind of solitude.Enjoy the memories that flow in his brain, he grew up and grew up in this place. the smell of the wooden walls in his room could not be imitated in his new home.All the things that happened behind the thick dinging that surrounded his room, where he hid his heart. Aum smiled wryly as he realized the book he was holding right now was the first gift he got the prince's banner.This was proof of their peace, after a long time of being enemies.

I don't know why I've arrived tonight feeling so lonely, Aum drives Ani out and lets her rest on the west side of the room while Graha goes through the mission that Aum gave so that he can not keep the door of Aum's room alone just feeling the sadness.

but at the same time Aum or the guard in front of Aum's room no one noticed a person hiding in the thick of the tree looking at Aum wistfully.

that man is prince Panji, he,

yang rushes to infiltrate the warlord's residence when he hears that the woman he loves is returning to the capital. Prince Panji who did not get any chance to meet with Aum even though tomorrow the bhandoro family held a welcoming party for his second son who returned from duty, he did not get the party invite. a longing in his heart that makes it difficult to sleep, a nervousness that always haunts the day.

the stinging pain pierced his vision and today it seemed as if he was being treated when he saw the girl become his sleeping flower it looked real behind the slightly open window. giving an impression that is not real but still beautiful as his memory that never faded. like his heart pounding.

her girl who had become a beautiful and charming mature woman. Aum the same as the girl he knew for many years.he was reading, Prince Panji tau Aum really likes to read. in the past when he was still able to freely visit the Panji prince would sit looking at Aum who was reading seriously, at first only his ignorance but gradually became a habit. he enjoys the face of ayu which makes him fall slowly and trapped deep.

Prince Panji very memorized the facial features that Aum made when he found new things or theories that seemed to contradict the knowledge he got, he said, the girl will throw a question and start a debate with the prince Panji.His girl is full of curiosity, Prince Panji involuntarily smiled considering the memories that seemed so fresh flowing in his memory.

the girl, Aumnya who was sitting by the window was so beautiful as if a painting she could not touch. the silhouette of the face that was wrought by the dim light of the lantern and the occasional strand of hair down made him want to touch and feel the fine strands of hair later. eyeballs that resist drowsiness as if adding a beautiful look in the eyes of the prince Panji.The adult figure he once imagined could not match his beauty now. for a moment he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance that always enveloped Aum, the smell of fresh roses that were soothing. Prince Panji's heart once again beat loudly, though,

unknowingly he had time to step foot to approach the girl. came out of hiding deliberately so that the beautiful eyes looked at her, only to see her again. greed took away his common sense, his heart, the initial intention of just wanting to watch from afar had been lost somewhere.

like know what the prince panji means, Aum who felt that someone was staring at him raised his gaze out the window, and at the same time the Panji prince came out of hiding and stared back at Aum with a fixed look.

as if he could speak with a gaze, the eyes of the two pairs did not turn once.

trying to absorb in everything they could see each other, trying to convince each other to refrain from rushing over.

prince Panji clasped his fist tightly, he tried to control himself.In the eyes of Panji Aum prince who stared fixedly at him as if to speak loudly how much he also missed today. as they could stare at each other like this, the Panji prince stepped forward and stopped at the edge of the fish pond just below Aum's window.

'pardon me ' she whispered softly.

the shrill voice of the Panji prince as if carried by the whirring of the wind pierced through Aum's faint hearing,

and just as the defenses he had built crumbled a circle of falling tears slowly adorned Aum's pale cheeks.

regret Prince Panji once again when he saw his love crying in silence.

his hand was raised as if to help remove the endless stream of tears. They were separated by a fish pond and if he used to easily jump over her and reach for the girl but this time seemed to realize that the distance between them was not just a clear fish pond but the status of the Prince of Pandang.

like the first time they met again this time or even Aum was also crying, although the thing that made him cry was a different time. at that time he could reach out to comfort her but this time the cause of Aum crying was her.

regret crept up into his heart, if they had never reconciled first if he had not infiltrated his room.If he had not seen him crying would his girl be happy.

will love it will end sweet, but the prince Panji can not imagine.

if Aum's love isn't for her, that terrible taste makes Prince Panji clench his teeth.

' can't we be together?! ' the voice of Aum who shrieked with the sobbing made the Panji prince even more sad.

at the same time the sound of the door of the room opened in a hurry.

Ani who heard the sound of sobs her master immediately woke up from his sleep and rushed over to the beautiful girl, who was just like that,

although not seeing clearly but Ani sure he saw the silhouette of a very familiar man in the pool who rushed away when Ani entered the room, but he tried to refrain from pursuing the person, his attention was only focused on his employer who was crying bitterly.

' princess, there is my princess ..

there I am' said Ani toughened.

even though her tears were almost spilled.

today Ani realized her master wasn't that tough, though, Galih Ayu Aumani Bhandoro is the only female princess in the kingdom of Mahestraja and this talented female warrior of high rank is not as strong as one can see.

his love is taken away, his love falls on the wrong person.

his poor daughter's master put his heart in a forbidden place.

' my poor princess' Inner Ani is sad.
