NEONA

NEONA

By Kiko

Once upon a time, there lived a happy family in a big Kingdom named Banyu Langit. The King was Dirgantara. He has three beautiful daughters named Ayunda, Aurora, and Neona. Unfortunately, Princess Ayunda was dead.

One day, the king held a bilateral meeting with the kingdom of Adem Ayem. King Arga sent his son, Prince Arsen as a representative of his kingdom. Princess Aurora and Princess Neona were fascinated by him. Prince Arsen is the only child and candidate for the successor to the kingdom of Adem Ayem.

Princess Neona looked at him continuously. At the same time, Prince Arsen also looked at her and smiled at her. Princess Neona then turned her face away.

“What happened to you?” said Princess Aurora.

“Nothing.” Princess Neona replied.

The days went by so fast. Princess Neona is getting closer to Prince Arsen, as was Princess Aurora.

One night, Princess Neona was shocked by Princess Aurora's statement.

“I fall in love with Prince Arsen at my first sight. Nobody knows except you, Princess Neona.” she smiled at Princess Neona.

Princess Neona was silent, she knew her elder sister fell in love with Prince Arsen more than she wanted him. This puts her in a dilemma because her dad wants her to be Prince Arsen’s wife.

The next day, a second meeting was held to discuss the wedding day. However, something unexpected has happened.

“I'm sorry, Romo, but we can't continue this. I do like Prince Arsen, but our weton doesn't get along. So I can’t.”

“But we can still get married if we fulfill some conditions, Princess Neona,” said Prince Arsen.

“Prince Arsen is right, dear”

“Prince Arsen, I don’t want to harm our family if we get married one day. Besides, do you know? My sister, Princess Ayu also died for violating customs and traditions.”

Everyone was silent.

“At that time, my elder sister, Princess Ayunda was married to Prince Setyo, but they broke the tradition. First, their weton does not match if it is calculated with the Primbon. Secondly, they are married in the month of Sura. And what happened? bad things happened to them until they finally died. I still can’t understand it, but that’s true.”

“I am sorry to hear that.”

“That’s okay.”

“Princess Neona, are you sure with your decision?” asked King Dirgantara.

“Yes, Romo. I won’t violate our customs and traditions. And for Princes Arsen, do you see my elder sister? Princess Aurora. She loves you, and your weton is a match. So, please accept her as your future wife.”

Princess Aurora gripped Princess Neona's hand tightly, then Prince Arsen pulled Princess Aurora to the center of the hall.

"Alright, I don't want any destruction in the future, so I decided to marry Princess Aurora and promise to love her with all my heart.”

After that, one month later they got married. Princess Aurora and Prince Arsen lived happily, as well as Princess Neona who was happy to see her sister with the person she loved.
