In the afternoon, Dewi Sinta's father invited his daughter to meet him in a special room. "Come here my daughter, I have something to say." He said in the singahsana. Dewi Sinta approached and said "What is it that you call me father".
"You know how the condition of our kingdom is, I want to tell you that I will match you with the prince of the next kingdom to defend our kingdom, the wedding will be held tomorrow, I apologize for telling you suddenly so that you don't refuse this match." Said the King by sitting his head.
Dewi Saraswati was silent hearing her father's words. She was in a dilemma, on the one hand, she had a responsibility to the kingdom and her father. On the other hand, her heart was bound by the true love that grew between her and Arya Prabu.
"Father, give me 2 days to think about all this" said the princess with a beautiful smile.
"Alright daughter, I will give you time. I hope you know what to do, because all decisions are in your hands, as well as the fate of our people."
That night, Dewi Saraswati made a difficult decision. She decided to meet Arya Prabu under the big tree that had witnessed their love. Dewi Sinta told her lover what had happened to her and the kingdom.
"I cannot marry that prince, Arya Prabu. My heart is only for you, but there are my people that I am responsible for," said Dewi Saraswati with tears in her eyes.
Arya Prabu took Dewi Saraswati's hand gently and said, "It's okay dear, I'm willing to let you go with him, it's all for the sake of your people."
Although in his heart he was very fragile to say so, his heart was like broken glass in pieces that could not be put back together. However, he knew they could not be selfish, all this for the sake of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom. In his heart Arya Prabu really wanted to help the kingdom of Islamic Mataram, but he could not do anything, he was just a prince in a small kingdom that did not have a strong defense.
Finally they gave up their love for the welfare of the people of the Mataram Kingdom.
