Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Give me your body, so I will fulfill your wish, Rengganis.” The voice resonated, making that lady with beautiful face called Rengganis looked up from her sitting heels. She looked into a tranparent, flying in front of her with thick fog cevered her.
Rengganis’s black eyes as dark as night looked wet, radiating deep sadness. Thick dust and dirt adorn her face, showing how tormented and oblivious she was for a long time.
Watching Rengganis’s dejection, the lady smirked. Her feet stroke the ground first and took steps. “ I can help you taking revenge, whether to that bitch named Madhavi... or to that bastard you called My King Husband Abra.”
Rengganis clenched her fist, imagining the face of those two faces who made her life hard as hell. But, seeing that black fog covering her, Rengganis felt that it would be a bad idea to aggree with her.
“I don’t trust you,” Rengganis said in alert. Her hand clenched to restain her trembling body.
The lady’s thin fingers grapped Rengganis’s chin, raised it up, forcing her to looked into the lady’s red eyes, hypnotized her. “Don’t you remember how did your mother’s head apart from her neck just to protect you?” the lady said with her dark tone and wagged her red scarf as she turned around. “How was your husband, His majesty King Abra, cut her neck with no mercy after all the things you’ve done to him?”
‘No!” Rengganis screamed in her heart, having clear imagination how her beloved mother died. How Abra waved his sword, scratching skin, and cut bones. The smell of blood just wafted in the air and Rengganis remembered it so well that it made her sick and angry.
The lady laughter in front of Rengganis echoed. “You’re weak, but I can change it,” she said with a smile on her lips. “Take may hand and I will teach you my witchery, the spell of JARAN GOYANG. Avenge your hurt, give him total punishment to the traitor,” she said full of emphasis.
Rengganis clenched her jaw and fist. The lady’s words burnt out her determination. “The worthy punishment for traitors is death.” She said as she reached out the lady’s hand.
*KarRa*
Some time ago...
There was chaos in the kingdom of Baskara. People screamed in front of the queen palace. Many prople in the palace were very frightened. Avery beautiful young lady was sitting on a gold bed, her body trembled in her mother’s hug.
“Queen mother Leena, his majesty King Abra was right in front of the door.” A pump lady in her middle-aged rushed into the room.
The woman called queen mother turned toward her daughter. “I’m sure it is a conspiracy,” she was furious. “Has commander Khandra not returned from the war?” she asked.
“He hasn’t come yet, Queen mother,” the pump lady answered. Leena winked her eyes to get her close.
“Berek,” the queen mother whispered. “I’m afraid we get cornered. Get someone to infiltrate stealthy and give this to Commander Khandra. “ she ordered. Queen mother Leena slipped a piece of rolled cloth.
“As you wish, Queen Mother.” Berek answered in trembled. Her heart pumped faster. There is nothing more terrifying than this day. The fat middle-aged lady hid the rolled cloth behind her sarong.
“Don’t let them know, be careful!” warned Queen Mother Leena.
Berek understood, she was also worried about baseless allegations which concubine Madhavi’s men maligned slender Queen Rengganis killing the future king by putting poison in his drink that was served moments ago in a tea party at the queen’s palace. The fat lady sneaked out.
“Raise Queen Rengganis! You don’t deserve this kind of fear. Stand up! Show your pride as a future queen of Baskara Kingdom!” said the middle-aged lady wearing red kebaya with a hair bun.
The beautiful woman called Rengganis stood up, repressed her fear. She held a white silk scarf tightly. It covered her fair and smooth shoulder and arm.
“Search Queen Rengganis’s palace.” A man yelled.
BANG!
Queen palace’s door forced open. A man with a crown representing supreme power followed by a band of soldiers walked in. Without permission, soldiers ruining the room. Carrying out orders of the ruler of Baskara kingdom who just crowned few months ago.
“How polite, King Abra, ordering people to destroy the queen palace.” Queen mother Leena insinuated.
“Please, don’t misjudged me, Queen Mother. I’m doing what I need to do as a king to capture the killer who had killed the heir,” he said loudly.
“So you think it was my daughter with ambition who killed the baby in Concubine Madhavi’s womb? How blind you are!” mocked the lady.
King Abra clenched his fist in anger. He really wished he had a chance to slap her, but he forewent it considering many eyes were watching. King Abra looked angrily to Queen Mother Leena. The look of disgust and murdereous ambition was clearly in his eyes. Everyone realized it.
‘Devil woman! You’re unfit to be a queen!’ The king swore in his heart.
“Your Majesty, we’ve found it!” a man shouted. Some men ran from inside to the front. “We find it,” said a royal guard handing a small medicine bottle. It’s like a gin bottle made of terracotta, bubbling in the middle and on one corner it had cone shape and a small hole.
“We also bring the banquet utensils to be saved, Your Majesty.” Another royal guard said. Queen Rengganis and her mother looked at each other in confused.
King Abra took a smaal wood covering it. He took it near his nose, smelled it round. His forehead furrowed. Then, he handed it to a hunchbacked old man in black coat.
“Check this out, Royal physician!”
The hunchbacked old man paid a strict attention with much attentiveness, closed his eyes, and took a smell. His face sudden pale, looking at Queen Rengganis and her queen mother Leena. “Please spare, My King, it’s a snake poison.” His voice sounded throaty.
King Abra smiled, his gaze turnd dark. “Bring the queen to the Cold Palace!” he ordered.
“Abra, you’re crazy! Don’t you want to look into it further?” Queen mother Leena shouted.
“What else evidence do you want, Queen mother? It’s all in our hand. One more thing, everyone knows Queen Rengganis doesn’t like Concubine Madhavi. Many people know how bad the queen treated the concubine.” King Abra spoke in higher tone. “Drag the wueen now!” the king shouted, gave an order once more.
“Don’t you dare put your hand on my daughter!” the queen mother Leena shouted.
The royal guards were baffled. They looked each other. Baskara kingdom belonged to queen Rengganis family. Some remain loyal to the queen, some other was monopolized and moved in support of the king.
“You are such an awful! You forget where you’re from, Abra!” queen mother Leena scream with no fear.
King Abra’s face turned red.
“You bite the master who gave you home,” she continued.
