'he must be disappointed if you're late'

sandrani's nagging continued, but her hands did not stop helping Aum dress up.

'mom's gonna ride the horse later, so don't give yourself up'

aum said uncomfortable.

dayang and his mother immediately put on a face upset to hear the word Aum. they added look attached, without Aum's approval they both decorate the hair and dress it as beautiful as possible.

when he finished in the dress Aum looked at himself who was seen in the glass, he had not recognized the girl he saw.

jeez Aum did not think she could be that beautiful, Ani the lady-in-waiting instantly frenzied at how beautiful her master was.

' the princess is very beautiful not the mother' said ani and assented by sandrani with spirit.

the nuclear family has been preparing to welcome their second son Banu jalady bhandoro back from the border.

the women boarded the horse-drawn carriage except for Aum who insisted on riding his beloved horse.

as soldiers who had completed their duties they had to report first to the palace to obtain the noble blessing of the new king they could all return to their respective homes.

today the entire road to the palace gate was filled with families who were about to welcome their family members. likewise the Bhandoro family who lined the side of the road while Vishnu Bhandoro the father then Adhi kusumo who had become a minister of inter-royal relations and Aum who got the title of princess of the kingdom should be in The church hall as part of the King's reign.

arak arak arakan soldiers began to be seen, the sound of crying haru accompanied their arrival.cheers of thanksgiving cheers were interlaced for their arrival to the royal capital.Thanks are not exhausted in the words of everyone. including the Bhandoro family who saw their second son in the front row, leading hundreds of soldiers behind him, he smiled and occasionally waved at the residents who lined up to greet them.

some of the girls who saw the captain's charming smile cried hysterically, even though it had been years on the outskirts of the barren kingdom Banu was still charming like the son of nobles who lived prosperous in the capital.

his eyes immediately met his family he looks teary-eyed.His grandmother, mother Larasari, mother Sandrani and other wives of his father.as well as his older brother looks calm as usual.

his eyes are looking for his smallest brother who is invisible.he knows his father and brother must be in the palace but his little Aum is not there. suddenly the mood banu become bad, the mood of the, where his sister in the heart of Banu asked.

...~...

after permission to enter the palace Banu and some elected representatives facing the warrior who started the king in the Hall of the congregation. he saw his first brother wearing the clothes of a royal employee and the father wearing official clothes, but how surprised Banu when he saw his little brother was in the horde of men in this Hall. he used a dark green official kebaya and stood directly opposite the crown prince. he then realized he remembered when the Sandrani mother sent her a letter some time ago saying his sister returned from the battlefield bringing victory and expansion of the territory so that the kingdom gave her the title of princess.

for a moment his mind regained its calm, he listened to the advice of the noble king with hidmat.after completing all the requirements Banu could return to his residence. the first brother and sister had to be restrained in the palace for a moment, so he and his father approached the family troupe that had been waiting all day in front of the palace gate.

Hasturi unconsciously stepped foot closer to the granddaughter he had not met for a long time.

' jeez, this brat why is it so skinny'

he said while hitting Banu slowly, his tears almost spilled.

' there is no one who nags me like a grandmother' joked Banu when the grandmother was so sad to see him.

then followed by the laughter of other family members, Banu had met eye to eye with mother sandrani but had not had time to say hello because the father suggested to return first. because Hasturi's grandmother had stood up from the morning to greet her,

' we continue at home only, mother has stood very long ' said Vishnu Bhandoro.

it is shared by other family members.

' Aum must have wanted to escape from the palace ' the voice of the mother larasati was happy. Along the way he did not release the arms of his second son.

although open his biological son but he loved Banu so much as his two sons.

' that brat must have learned from you Banu.

it is very difficult for the rules of the girl' said grandmother hasturi.

I was greeted by the laughter of mothers.

' you lost far away from your sister, she already has her own residence now ' the story of the larasati mother.

Banu was a little surprised he saw the mother sandrani and diayakan by her.

' Aum got the title as well as the territory that must be guarded by the king's noble explained the mother of sandrani.

everyone in this house is trying not to tell how complicated their lives these 4 years are because of Aum and Prince Panji. Banu who is at the border must have lived miserable they do not want to add to his burden.

they agreed to hold back the story so that the father would tell it to Banu.

laughter filled the carriage all the way back, while Aum's palace was still trapped in the crown prince's residence. in addition, he had to meet the prince who had not seen aling aling before looking at him closely.

the man barged in while Aum was discussing with the crown prince about the state of the suburbs that Aum was guarding.

' to reduce the presence of recurrent bandits we have been on patrol every day 2 times combing the mountains, and provide strict guard on the side of the road at risk of looting' explained Aum.

the crown prince nodded in satisfaction.

he was a little happy that his friend's sister turned out to be very competent.

' well for the next visit I will convey by letter' said the crown prince.

'now you can come back'

aum then permits to retreat, while the crown prince tries to hold back his sister who tries to catch up with Aum.

' settle down the banner' said the crown prince firmly.

' don't make it difficult for Galih, I can send him even further'

the crown prince said to his brother.

' I beg you not to make Galih more difficult, it may seem like the father is taking your wife's side but this is for the good of everyone. he loves Galih very much, his Majesty the king will not let such a trivial thing ruin the performance of that talented girl'

and the prince looked at his brother sadly,

' then what about my heart sis' she said.

' come back to your family' replied the Crown Prince coldly.
