8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Day 23: Faced
Gong!
Suddenly a loud gong sounded that echoed throughout the Capital City and rang out loud in the square, which was already fenced by two layers of soldiers.
“Gusti Queen Lembayung Mekar arrivesaa!” shouted a prjurit.
A horse carriage with an open tub came which pulled four gallant horses at once. Although not as good as the luxurious chariot of the Swordsman King of Marriage, but its gold, silver and pearl decoration make the chariot dazzling by splendor.
On the horse carriage sat majestically the beautiful woman of mature age, Queen Lembayung Mekar. This morning he appeared in a yellow gold kebaya dress with silver and orange embroidery. The tiara on his head that was studded with red gems strengthened his high aura of unity.
Behind the horse-drawn carriage that walks leisurely - there are no office-entrance hours - walk the party of ladies in yellow saffron uniforms. They numbered twenty people. Behind him again, walked ten female horsemen led by the queen's personal bodyguards. Behind again there were a hundred footman warriors armed with swords complete with their shields.
Queen Lembayung Mekar came in full of her majesty.
“Honor our prayers to Gusti Ratu!” call someone who spearheads down rest on the ground while looking down in respect, with both palms meeting in front of the forehead.
“Honor our prayers to Gusti Ratu!” said hundreds of residents who had gathered in the square, also took part in the salute.
Queen Lembayung Mekar smiled sweetly while looking coldly at all her people. He raised his right hand with an open palm, signalling that he was receiving the respect of all his subjects.
Hearing the arrival of the queen, Senggara Bolo and his wife finally decided to go out and get off the carriage.
The exit of Senggara Bolo immediately attracted the attention of officials and the people of the Capital.
The entourage of Queen Lembayung Mekar entered the square. The carriage went towards the position of Senggara Bolo's horse carriage. Upon arrival, the horse carriage stopped right in front of Senggara Bolo and his three wives.
“Honor our prayer, Gusti Ratu!” senggara Bolo said as he went down to his knees in honor of the one followed by his three wives.
“Wake!” queen Lembayung orders Mekar without getting up from her seat on the carriage.
Senggara Bolo and his three wives woke up again. Unlike yesterday, this time Senggara Bolo showed a cold and calmer face.
“Where are your other two wives, Senggara?” ask Queen Lembayung Mekar.
“There was an enemy who killed him after returning from the Palace yesterday, Gusti Ratu,” Senggara Bolo replied.
“You are a troubled swordsman, Senggara. You should not have seen the sun this morning. Only because of the forgiveness from Gusti Prabu Dira so you can still breathe until now. How dare you try to poison Gusti Prabu Dira!” said Queen Lembayung Blooming flat and cold.
Senggara Bolo and his three wives heard about it.
“By the law of the Balilitan Kingdom, it is clear all of you should be put to death on the spot. However, Gusti Prabu Dira forgives you to this day. I ask you, Senggara Bolo. Do you still want to snatch me from my husband?”
“Thank you for the wisdom of Gusti Prabu Dira. However, I will still try to get you, Gusti Ratu,” replied Senggara Bolo.
“Alright, Senggara. Enjoy your last days!” queen Lembayung Mekar said.
Queen Lembayung Mekar's horse-drawn carriage then moved away to take place.
“Gusti Prabu Dira arrivesaa!” shouted the entrance guard soldier.
Citizens of the capital Jayangga again made a scene. They immediately focused their attention on Joko Calm who came.
Joko Quiet turns out to come with five wolves belonging to his wife. For those who had not seen the king yesterday with the wolves, many whispered to each other. Many were amazed.
“That's an animal anyway, Kang?” ask a woman to her male neighbor.
“That's cuckoo, Soimah,” replied the man, pretentious, rather than spelled out shallow-looking like a rice field.
“Big kok anyway, Kang?” ask Soimah again.
“Because his mother married a cow, so his son was as big as a buffalo.”
“Honor our prayer, Gusti Prabu!” call someone who is back spearheading down rest on the ground while looking down in respect, with both palms meeting in front of the forehead.
“Honor our prayer, Gusti Prabu!” said hundreds of residents who had gathered in the square, also took part in the salute.
The soldiers immediately disrespected.
Joko Calm smiled sweetly showing her good looks and dignity. He was so gallant that he sat on the back of Satria, the black-haired wolf commonly ridden by Empress Sandaria. Yet strangely, the jolly and adorable empress did not appear to exist.
Joko Calmly entered the square. Directions of the group directly to Senggara Bolo.
“Honor our prayer, Gusti Prabu!” senggara Bolo said as he went down to his knees in honor of the one followed by his three wives.
“Wake!” joko Calm's order that has stopped in front of Senggara Bolo.
Swordsman King Kawin and his three wives immediately rose to their feet.
“Why not as promised? Where are your two wives, Pendekar?” ask Joko Calmly.
“The other two wives of servants have been killed by the enemy, Gusti Prabu,” replied Senggara Bolo.
“Alright, what can be done. Your bets are unbalanced. If you win, you'll get my queen and her kingdom. However, you only risked three women. Or this fight we cancel it, and you better catch me and I'll die for your cunning and cunning play poison,” said Joko Calm.
Senggara Bolo and his three wives.
“Pardon me, Gusti Prabu!” said Segara Bolo as he quickly dropped to his knees again. “I have wealth in Kademangan Linggarawa. I bet all the wealth I have in this fight,” Senggara Bolo said.
“The three of you are witnesses of your husband's words,” said Joko Calm.
“Good, Gusti Prabu,” replied Janila and her two honeymooners.
“Please, Swordsman. We end this show!” joko Calm said.
“Good, Gusti,” said Senggara Bolo, then he flashed in the air and landed in the middle of the square.
“Shed Off Married Swordsman!” a man shouted suddenly.
“Shed Off Married Swordsman!” shouted the other mass of citizens.
The sentence was shouted over and over again, making the atmosphere of the high-level duel sound violent.
“Married with goat only!” New words are being shouted again.
“Married with goat!” shouted angry citizens to the Swordsman King of Marriage.
That sentence continues to be shouted. There was clearly a tone of anger from the citizens of the Capital City. To make matters worse, the soldiers shouted the same sentence.
“Married with goat!” shouted the soldiers.
How furious the Swordsman King Kawin heard the cry. Her face flushed. The scream clearly insulted him.
The shout inevitably made the three wives of Senggara Bolo resist embarrassment. However, they must be breastfed, because it is the fruit of the impudence of their husbands.
The five wolves subdued their bodies so that their stomachs stuck to the ground.
Claps!
Suddenly Joko Calm disappeared from Satria's back and appeared several spears in front of Swordsman King Kawin.
Joko Calm and Senggara Bolo have now faced each other. (BH)
