8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
De Bude 3: The Queen's Company Arrives
*Eighth Flower Goddess (De Bude)*
“You know your student better, Kunsa Pari. If if Joko Calm had known that Nara was your ex-lover, even I had just heard from the Silver Wolf, one of Joko's wives was Nara's own student, will Joko possibly do it under normal conditions?” asked the God of Death who stood by Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari's moody side, while looking at the wild.
Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari simply fell silent, not answering.
“Joko Calm can't tell me what the reason is. I just guessed, there was something that might be so secretive in nature, that he wouldn't say it. We are two men who have both loved Nara, even at different times. Although now we are nobody from Nara, but I am Joko's great-grandfather and you are Joko's teacher. Inevitably maybe we will often meet with Nara, making memories present only to cut our feelings,” said the God of Death again.
“Are they happy?” Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari finally made a sound.
“I saw it so. Do you expect them to be unhappy?”
“I'm a teacher who loves students.”
“Nara is one of the Flower Goddesses. It was a position she strongly rejected when she became my lover. There was no way he would accept that anymore if not for a very strong reason. Lay down your chest and heart for the benefit of the martial world. I saw Joko was a straight man. He is more righteous than I who used to have sin. You can imagine, how his wives could unite to fight together in the Howling Cave. It's fateful for Nara to marry Joko. I think Nara has also thought about the risks she faces if she marries Joko, who even among Joko's wives is her own student. If he was willing to think about that shame, perhaps he would not be present at this meeting. However, her obedience to her husband makes her willing to accept our anger and abuse,” said the God of Death.
Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari only fell silent when the God of Death stopped saying.
“I think we all agree, there is no prohibition on students marrying former teacher lovers. Or the teacher shares a husband with his student. Only, it does feel less beautiful. You can ask him directly to Joko Calm down later. Although Joko is part of our family, but when before marriage, Nara was already none of us,” said the God of Death.
After that, the Death God's body was amby into very small particles and millions in number, darting flying away from the lip of the stone cliff. Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari remained silent, pondering.
At the same time, Minati Sekar Arum aka Angel Kipas Merah is also talking to Goddess Mata Hati from heart to heart. Of all the powerful old figures present in the place, only Minati was worthy and likely to influence Nara's establishment. She is a little older than Nara.
The essence of the persuasion of Sekar Arum's interest to Nara is that Joko's wife does not go to act following anger and revenge, so that Nara wants to join the meeting later that night, despite the risk of getting a cynical look from the other characters, unless Joko ordered the others.
The persuasion and advice of Minati Sekar Arum turned out to be memena and Nara claimed to understand. He will prioritize common interests above personal interests, as citizenship lessons were once eaten in the school bench first.
Meanwhile, there is a busyness done by students of Perguruan Bukit Dalam at the waist of the hill. The activity was led by Gentabaya, one of the college's senior students.
The dozens of disciples formed a formation. They sit in the form of three rows that are arranged in height. They all sit facing the cliff on the top side there is the Stone Cloud, where a number of old figures relax like a vacation in the cowboy country.
The old figures just watch from the top of the cliff while discussing the hottest issues so as not to miss the latest gossip.
What the disciples of Bukit Dalam College did, based on information from the God of Death that he conveyed only to the Three Fan Angels and White Ganesha.
“One of the possible exits passed by the Goddess Geger Jagad is the Lower Door of Clouds. Do you know about that Cloud Lower Door, the Banggir Swamp?” the God of Death.
“No,” Reply Swamp Banggir.
“Her father didn't tell you. The Door Under the Clouds is under the Stone Clouds,” is obviously the God of Death.
“Hah!” the Banggir Swamp. “About when the Goddess Geger Jagad will arrive if she passes through the Lower Door of Clouds?”
“Appa?!” pekik Ki Rawa Banggir's. “If so, I will welcome his arrival with the Eastern Storm Destroyer of Hope!”
A college student came to face Ki Rawa Banggir at his residence.
“Honoratku, Teacher! My respect Elders!” said the young man in his forties while respecting twice.
“How were your observations in the Howling Cave?” ask Ki Rawa Banggir.
“Kisruh in Lolongan Cave is over, Master. The heirloom in the Lolong Cave was successfully owned by a woman. He is undefeated..”.
“How about Joko?” ewit Kurnawa asked quickly, cutting off the words of the disciple.
“Dead fell into the abyss, Elder!” replied the disciple with a more excited tone.
“What?!” shock the five old men.
“No. I don't think Joko died, but don't-don't.” said the God of Death and floated his words.
“You mean, Joko is the one who raised the Goddess Geger Jagad?” the Sekar Arum.
“True. Joko has a Golden Fire Vest. If he falls into the abyss still alive, he will not die despite falling into the abyss as deep as anything,” said the God of Death.
“Why conditions that occur can this shrink?” asked Ki Rawa Banggir who could not be answered by anyone.
“Maybe Joko will not die if he falls into the abyss, but maybe he will die at the hands of Goddess Geger Jagad,” said the Eastern Devil who made all look to the skinny old man.
“If Joko Calmly falls into the abyss, then what about her consorts?” ask the God of Death to the messenger.
“Joko's forces are calm and his wives are retreating here, Guru. They have already arrived at the bottom of the first ravine!” said the messenger's student.
“Talk to the guards of Bukit Dalam Gate to let them all in!” ki Rawa Banggir's.
“Good, Teacher!”
When the sun began to lean west, the empresses of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom and her entire army finally passed through the Bukit Dalam Gate.
Like the great guest who came, the group was greeted directly by Ki Rawa Banggir and his four wives, along with almost all the guests who had arrived. The characters are very curious about the story heralded by Datuk Kramat, who on that day was helped by the wives of Joko and witnessed firsthand his magic.
It seems like I never knew age. Although already in the elders martabak bangka, but the senior figures were still fascinated to see the beauty of the empresses who rode wolves, even though at that time their faces looked tired and shabby because of the wound.
The internal injuries of the empresses as well as Murai Manikam and the Shadow Goddess of Death were already not as severe as before. The science of the Angel Tirana kiss makes their wounds lighter. Requires continued treatment and adequate rest to heal. (BH)
