41. Wijaya's Feeling

Beep

Erlangga was stunned to hear the sound of his cellphone. Daydreams about his first meeting with Wijaya flashed in front of him again. He had absolutely no idea why he had to remember that. His mind drifted imagining his first event, meeting Sarah's daughter and he never thought that he would have to meet the daughter of his father's mortal enemy.

"Hello"

"What is it?"

Erlangga issued his words curtly. He was disturbed because the caller had really disturbed his daydream. He was actually thinking about Malika and Anna, Sarah's children whom he had saved from the boy who bullied him. There are similarities with each other that Erlangga himself does not know where the similarities are. His heart always said that he and Malika had met before Malika came to the Seputih Hati hermitage.

"Sir"

"Say!"

The caller, who had been waiting for Erlangga's reaction for the last fifteen minutes, made a shriek, causing Erlangga to turn off the call. He put the phone in his pocket but the phone rang again several times.

"What is it?"

"Are you having a problem with me, son?"

"E-D-father?"

"Some say your two soldiers were brought by Damar Aji. Can you help Father save them?”

Erlangga nodded his head as if he was dealing with Wijaya. Several times Wijaya called his name but Erlangga did not respond at all.

"Is there something on your mind my son?"

"N-no father. Oh yeah, did the soldiers say where Damar Aji took the male soldiers?"

“Walk north and you will find them. I doubt the exact location, there is only belief that they are with the rulers of the north coast right now.”

"Okay, Dad. Please pray that I can find them. Assalamualaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam. My prayers are with you, son."

Erlangga immediately hung up the call after confirming that Wijaya had turned off the call first. He immediately called his men to take his car while he immediately closed his eyes while muttering chanting spells. A few minutes later his body disappeared leaving only a thin smoke that slowly dissipated.

At the hermitage, it was like watching and Anjani, who had just been rescued by Erlangga, was lying weak in front of the patient, some people seemed to be busy applying rubbing oil to their bodies, not only that, Malika's new friends also massaged the legs and head of the girl who now looked very weak. different from Anjani who has started to show signs of life.

Wijaya saw Bima who was looking at the two girls who were saved by his brother. There was a restlessness in Bima that Wijaya did not know. He really wanted to invite his son to sit on the sofa not far from the patient's bed. Bima seemed to be frowning to find Wijaya who was still observing him. Wijaya took a deep breath trying to control his turbulent feelings. He was sure that Bima had a secret to hide. He will interrogate everything about the two girls who are Wijaya's favorite students at the Seputih Hati hermitage

"Are there any other male students besides the two of them who are being held captive by Damar Aji? Why didn't Erlangga save them and only brought these two girls here?”

Bima shook his head when he heard Wijaya's words. He adjusted his sitting position and looked at Wijaya with respect. Several times he took deep breaths and then exhaled slowly to neutralize the feelings that were being stirred up by the intruders.

"Damar Aji is now together with the Queen of the ruler of the north coast, father. I don't know what they're doing right now but I'm sure the Queen of the North Coast has a certain purpose in inviting Damar Aji. The Queen left all her affairs to Gagak Rimang. His subordinates are very powerful and have extraordinary intelligence. Rarely does anyone win against Crow Rimang. Currently Gagak Rimang is at Sarah's palace. I'm afraid he's ransacked the palace so that we fail to get what we've always wanted.

 Wijaya just kept silent, he didn't say anything to refute Bima's words. He deeply regretted the delay in getting information regarding Gagak Rimang's visit to Sarah's palace.

"Tell dad What's the matter that you look so uneasy seeing the two of them lying weakly on the couch."

Bima lowered his head, then he looked at Wijaya for a moment. He knew there was a misunderstanding between himself and his father. He knew why his father had shifted the conversation from Gagak Rimang to two girls on the couch. He knew his father was too busy so he didn't realize that his heart was broken when he saw the two daughters who were his students almost become victims of Damar Aji.

"Father can't be too mean to me. I'm just restless looking at those two girls. They  left this Padepokan because they were kidnapped by Damar Aji when they were in front of the dormitory. Damar Aji, who was annoyed with my father's behavior, was finally able to follow the air route, a route that we had never taken care of so far. He was able to enter and exit freely by air and I managed to worry that his departure, which brought Anjani and Malika and several other male students, would have an impact. at the breakdown of White Heart's defenses."

Wijaya smiles. In his heart he felt funny about the answer Bima gave him regarding his anxiety about Malika and Anjani. Wijaya believes that his son is hiding something at this time and he believes that what Bima is currently feeling has something to do with his son's feelings for one of the girls lying weakly on the patient cot.

“Keep an eye on the two of them and father will ask for your report any time. Never forget to give them extra food to keep them healthy and they both get well soon. I want that when one of them becomes my daughter-in-law, she will give birth to many offspring for you and make you proud because you have so many grandchildren."

 Bima was stunned to hear what his father said to him. He had never at all expected that his Father had the right prejudice about the feelings he was hiding from the person he loved the most in this world.

 Seeing Bima silent, Wijaya smiled while teasing his son

"What did you say wrong? If I'm wrong, I'm sorry but one hundred percent I swear that what I think now is the real truth and when it happens, I hope that you will become a very good leader for your family. Have a family curriculum and you will feel the deliciousness of married life.”

 Bhima nodded his head. He did not want to deny that what his father said were all true and he hoped that one day he would be able to carry out his parents' orders.

"God willing, I will soon prepare for my father. I promise to be honest with you when I'm ready. For now I'm still trying to observe whether this feeling is a feeling that grows from a man towards an adult woman who hopes for family life to end the same feeling or just a feeling of admiration. So far I've tried to give him clear enough signs but he hasn't been able to accept the signs I've given him. Sometimes I feel hopeless and frustrated because I love a girl who is completely insensitive to the feelings of the opposite s*x but I also have to be proud because she is still original and has not been touched by anyone.”

 Wijaya nodded his head at his son's words. He knows that Bima is in love with Anjani. In his heart he is proud because Anjani is one of the best students in the hermitage of Seputih Hati who he wants to be a candidate for daughter-in-law for him, either for Bima or for Erlangga.
