GALIH AYU (The General)
take the steep road
Aum lay with a pale face, sweat soaked all over his body. it was not counted how many times they changed clothes. Still the sweat that came out did not stop, according to the healer infection in the wound that snapped in the stomach is the cause.
not allowed to take her daughter back to her own residence, Bhandoro now sits in a side room next to the nursery.
still in the palace, a simple courtyard beside the Crown Prince's courtyard.it was only a few moments when the sons returned to the residence first to report the state of his youngest daughter.
currently Commander Bhandoro is accompanied by the Crown Prince who is very fond of Aum, while Prince Panji is not allowed to approach Aum. Crown Prince Arjun tries to start a conversation.
' you can rest for a while uncle, I will take care of Aum while you sleep ' said the crown prince.
the day has changed and Aum has not yet woke up, while Uncle Bhandoro the title he often said was still awake.
' I'm sorry, servant, how can I sleep when my daughter is still unconscious too ' regretted Bhandoro.
' I should have rejected the proposal to send Aum to the battlefield. Look now my daughter's life is on the verge. ' Bhandoro's voice was stuck unable to continue his sentence.
the crown prince bowed lethargic, he did not think that his father made that decision just to make Panji obey his orders. He knew how much his sister loved Aum, but this political marriage was not just an ordinary love story. Suppose they still continue the love affair maybe now the prime minister has removed Commander Bhandoro from the capital, and His Majesty prefers to defend the whole family of his friend and sacrifice the sincerity of their daughter.
' Aum will realize uncle, Rama is a very skilled healer.he has been taking care of Aum 2 this year, surely he knows very well how to cure Aum '
brighten the Crown Prince with vigor.
on the one hand he was quite anxious to see the condition that was not good from Aum. But he also believed that Aum would survive, I believe in you Aum whispered very softly.

the Prince panji residence,
the figure of a young man standing at the edge of the pond with anxiety.have been for hours he stayed awake, the last news from the palace that he heard was the condition of Aum that had no change. his mind flew somewhere, where, the shadow of Aum sitting inside his room with tears felt fresh in his mind.
that day she had fallen in her charms, unlike most noble daughters Aum was the exception.her independence, persistence, perseverance everything in her had attracted a magnet in her.
' your highness the prince, there's news from the palace '
a figure of a soldier appeared from the direction of the front yard.
immediately he headed for the front yard, there Graha figure looks haggard.
' how's Aum? ' asked the Panji prince in a hurry.
' the Seroja princess has regained consciousness and will be brought back to the residence of Commander Bhandoro tomorrow ' said Graha weak.
Prince Panji looked very relieved, his hand grip loosened.
' the Prince's self-deprecation servant '
Graha immediately moved on to return to the palace.
prince Panji sat down for a moment, his leg bones seemed to be shed along with his anxiety.
Aum survived, his little girl has come back to life.unbeknownst to him, the tears fell from his eyelids.he sobbed about his tragic love story. his girl is his love that he will not be able to achieve.

morning came in peace, the courtyard where Aum was treated was crowded with palace residents. His Majesty came from dawn before attending the morning session.
' the princess seroja has come to her senses, she's the strong girl Bhandoro' entertained Her Majesty.
The father only smiled with relief, early this morning Aum realized from his coma. After getting treatment from the court physician Aum fell asleep.Today Physician Rama still continues to monitor the state of Aum.
' I thank the Sire who cares for my servant's daughter said Bhandoro.
His Majesty nodded, in his heart he felt guilty but he could not show it. This was the best decision from him for now.
the power of the prime minister was so disturbing that His Majesty did not dwell.
' well, the morning court will take place.let's go back said His Majesty.
'the glorified, the noble king' said Bhandoro.
in the afternoon, a horse-drawn carriage carrying Aum from the palace entered the Bhandoro residence. Almost the entire house gathered in the main courtyard, waiting for the return of their beloved daughter.
' oh my God, my poor grandson?! my precious granddaughter how could you let her get hurt like this ' the grinned voice of the grandmother while caressing Aum's face.
' Aum's wrong grandma, can't keep yourself ' replied Aum slowly.
everyone was silent, silence fell slowly.The ambiguous sentence seemed to make the heart ache.
' Aum is responsible for Aum's own actions ' continued Aum heavily.
' Aum apologizes for upsetting grandma ' .
once again the sound of crying was buzzing.no one in this house tried to break the silence.all know what they had passed, because of the proximity of the princess of this house with the prince. the whole family became the subject of the whole city, although not bright in front of the family but they knew. what's more as long as Aum goes to war the grandmother decides not to attend the whole party invitation or even throw a party.
' grandma Aum is going back to the room ' said Aum killing silence.
' well, rest later the physician Rama will come '
aum slowly walked towards his room accompanied by his mother and Graha.
after Aum moved away, the grandmother spoke
' no one should talk unnecessary things to Aum, he's already suffering '
' how can as the head of the family you leave your daughter covered in blood, I regret supporting you Bhandoro ' said the grandmother firmly.
that afternoon the entire residence was so quiet, as happened in Aum's room. The 15-year-old girl was sitting quietly.
his eyes involuntarily turned to the window on the side of the room.Memory then slowly flowed away and filled his vision. Aum thought after leaving the capital he forgot, the battlefield that was like hell made the memory sink for a moment without knowing that everything never disappeared in the slightest.
but not a single tear came out, this sadness had made his heart harden.
' miss are you okay? ' graha's voice broke the silence.
although Aum did not answer Graha's call, she knew that the young lady was still awake.
' the physician Rama will enter ' he said again, then let the physician enter his non-living room.
when Rama entered first he saw was a pale face and a forced smile.
' o great physician of Rama came 'Goda Aum but in a weak voice.
Ram a sighed in annoyance, how could the girl be so relaxed with wounds that were not yet dry.
' do you want me to give you a sedative? ' he asked a little annoyed.
aum just smiled seeing his comrades in arms on the battlefield clucking in annoyance.
' you are a physician, right? why does it feel like you're so good at nagging 'goda Aum once again.
Rama rushes to help Aum change the bandage.
' You lied to me all this time by hiding a wound this big, you want to kill yourself?!! ' said Rama, annoyed.
Aum was speechless, a mischievous smile missing from his lips. Rama was aghast at his own words.His eyes met with Aum's eyes, he knew the answer.
' I thought the effect was faster, it was so slow that you could find ' said Aum weakly.
' so it's true you don't treat wounds and deliberately eat foods containing sugar 'aum can't answer, and that's the goal.
' stupid girl!!! ' shouted Rama.
out of nowhere the anger filled his heart.
' I'm a disgrace in this family, all the trouble came because of my deed ' Aum's sad voice.
' but the love I have is so sinful that I get so much trouble ' .
Rama was silent to see this little girl withholding all the weight of his mind in that great war.how difficult, how difficult,
' you've done your best' entertain Rama.
in his heart he swore he would help this girl through her future troubles.
in silence they were immersed in their minds still still.
