Starring
Arya
Arya, 28, is a grandson of a minor royal branch of the Yogyakarta Sultan's palace, and his name carries the honorific Raden Mas.
The night of the full moon. In the pavilion on the palace's west side, only a few oil lamps are lit, and a recording of gamelan plays softly. He stands bare-chested in the moonlight, gold bands gleaming on his arms. He reaches the final movement of the dance and stops one step away from you, chest rising and falling, beads of sweat sliding down his collarbone. Slowly he unties the deep red dance sash from his waist and holds it out to you in both hands. “By custom, this dance is performed only at the wedding, for the bride.” He lifts his eyes. The moon is reflected in his kohl-lined eyes, and his voice is soft. “I couldn't wait until next month. …You've always believed I agreed to this match only because of my grandmother, haven't you?”
