The Three Chosen
266. Classical Trouble
Seeing Hara who can accept Hanako's presence and talk to her makes Graha and Gayatri decide to give the two time to talk from heart to heart. Iyaz and Izar also come out with Graha and Gayatri because they want to give Hanako a chance to dig information directly from Hara's mouth.
“ Stay away a little, I'm very smelly..” said Hara reminded Hanako.
“ I'm not bothered at all...,” Hanako said quickly.
“ But I'm distracted because you're a stranger to me. Being alone with strangers in this room makes me uncomfortable.” said Hara Lirih.
“ Well, how about I sit here..?” hanako asked as she sat by the window of the room.
“ It's better...,” says Hara with a smile.
Hara also went back to observing the way Hanako dressed. Hara likes Hanako's appearance and wants to follow Hanako's dress.
“ What is the name of the cloth that covers your head Sis..?” ask Hara suddenly.
“ Oh, this is hijab. It's useful to cover the hair on my head because this is aurat. According to my religious guidelines, We women are obliged to close the aurat from head to toe. Only the back and the palms of the hands are visible. The clothes we wear not only have to close the aura but also can not show the shape of the body.” Hanako said with a smile.
“ Sounds beautiful but it feels hard to do..” said Hara to make Hanako smile.
“ So, do you want to tell me how initially you can get sick like this..?” ask Hanako carefully.
“ I don't remember for sure. But all I remember is, I got sick after coming home to play with my friend. At that time there was a popular party celebrating the victory of Father's troops who managed to dispel the enemy.” said Hara while stomping her forehead.
“ What did you feel at that time..?” ask Hanako again.
Then the story flowed from Hara's mouth. How he spent a whole day with a girlfriend named Yunda. During this time Hara was not close friends with Yunda, but strangely at that time Hara obeyed Yunda's invitation just like that. They went to a strange place. Hara tried to remember the place but nil.
Hanako patiently waited for Hara to continue her story. But unfortunately Hara just silently pecked and it confused Hanako.
“ Hara.., Hara...,” call Hanako.
“ Uh, yes yes...,” sahut Hara nervous.
“ You want to continue your story or ga, how come. I can still wait for the continuation..” said Hanako half joking.
“ Me.., sorry Brother. My head hurts so much. Can we continue another time...?” ask Hara.
“ Can. If so you just rest, let me out now..,” Hanako said.
“ Thanks Brother, you are so kind..” said Hara while staring at Hanako.
“ Equally....,” Hanako said with a smile before closing the door.
As Hanako exits Hara's room, Iyaz and Izar are greeted. While the king of Graha and his wife also rose from their seats and approached Hanako.
“ How, what said..?” ask Gayatri impatiently.
“ Don't be here, We move to another place..” Graha said as she grabbed his wife's arm to move away from Hara's front room.
Hanako, Iyaz and Izar followed Graha and his wife. They were far from Hara's room. Then Hanako recounted the contents of her conversation with Hara. Graha and Gayatri are surprised to hear the story of Hanako who feels she has little information from Hara.
“ Yunda. It feels like I've heard that name..” Graha muttered while trying to remember.
“ That's his daughter Braja..” Gayatri said as she touched Graha's arm.
“ Oh yes You are right. But why would he do that..?” asked Graha not understanding.
“ Oh so this love triangle apparently..” Izar said with a smile.
“ So is Son. Jaladra used to propose to Hara when Hara was sixteen years old. Even in the world We were old enough to get married, but I refused because for me Hara was too young to be married. I asked Jaladra to come again when Hara was eighteen, but until Hara was twenty-three Jaladra never came back.” Graha said with a glare.
“ You mean Sir, at that time the master received a proposal Jaladra just delayed approving their marriage..?” ask Iyaz.
“ Right. Not without reason I received Jaladra's proposal. He's a great young man. Jaladra mastered swordsmanship and arrows, he could ride horses well, he was also well mannered and never spread charm on girls even though he had the ability to do that. There is no one here who does not want Jaladra as a son-in-law, including me. It's just that I don't want Hara to get married and give birth at such a young age. Both of Hara's older brothers married his wife when the girls were twenty-one years old. A decent age to marry and give birth to children.” Graha said.
“ Then where is Jaladra now..?” ask Hanako.
“ We don't know. Jaladra just left and there is no news at all..,” said Gayatri.
“ His eyes Yunda know something and Hara's disease has something to do with the disappearance of Jaladra...,” said Izar to make everyone look at him.
“ You're right Zar...,” says Iyaz.
“ So now look for Yunda, because he is the key.” Izar said.
“ As simple as that..?” tanya Gayatri was in disbelief until it made Iyaz, Izar and Hanako stare at each other confusedly.
“ What do you mean Honey. During this time Hara could not even talk let alone the story about her meeting with Yunda and her journey somewhere. So we never know what the cause of the pain is..?” ask Graha not to like it.
“ Forgive Me My Husband. I'm just a little confused and don't mean to underestimate our guests. I just feel if Hara's pain is not that simple, there must be another.” said Gayatri while rubbing her husband's arm.
" We will know after removing this disease first My Lord.", said Iyaz.
" Oh that. I'm sorry if I'm a seckit gapati..," said Gayatri was not happy to make the three brothers nod their heads.
“ Well. We will find Yunda as soon as possible, do not delay again.” said Graha.
“ Please do it quietly until Yunda does not realize if We are watching him Mr...” pinta Hanako.
“ Of course...,” Graha said with a smile.
Then Graha called her personal bodyguard and asked them to watch Yunda's movements.

Yunda was walking while carrying a basket filled with food. She was dressed up that day because she wanted to meet someone. Her face was smiling, making her beautiful face look radiant.
“ Hai Yunda, what makes you smile yourself. Are you happy..?” greet a girl who runs into Yunda.
“ Ish, you are so nosy Mina. But since I'm happy then I'll answer your question. Aye,
I am happy because I have a lover. Maybe soon there will be a big party at my house to celebrate our wedding.” said Yunda proudly while laughing.
“ Oh yes. Who is that man Yunda, is it as great as Jaladra..?” ask Mina curiously.
Yunda's laughter stopped when she heard Mina's question. He looks nervous to make Mina frown.
“ I go first Mina...” said Yunda then left Mina just like that.
Mina stared at Yunda's departure with a puzzled look. Moreover, Yunda walked quickly without even turning away again.
