8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Stone Eyes 10: The Return of the Lost Child
*Maut on the Throne of Baturaharja (Eye of Stone)*
King Anjas Perjana Langit, Ningsih Dirama, Empress Tirana, and Gurudi have gone through two forest trips. Now they use a pedati drawn by a horse, so that the pedati run can be faster. The one who is handling the pedati is Anjas. Gurudi sat in the back with two beautiful women. The sound of his giggling child-like laughter was heard too often. But that is what Gurudi is.
Queen Sri Mayang Sih decided not to go with them. He decided to return to the Demon Palace.
“You need not worry about the state of your husband, Guard Girl,” Anjas said without looking back. “If the Pearl of the Arrow Queen is touched in a shining state, she will attack the person who touched her. But as far as I am concerned, the attack will not make it to death. If Joko becomes paralyzed, it won't kill her. I know the attack will work for three days.”
“Thank God, Gusti Mulia,” said Tirana. “Nah, in Kademangan Uruk Sowong this is the family Mother lives.”
They had just crossed the boundary of the Kademangan area of Uruk Sowong. When they had already entered the center of Kademangan, from the front appeared a group of cavalry soldiers in dark green uniforms, indicating that they were soldiers of the Demon Kingdom.
“Stop!” exclaimed a soldier who led the ten horsemen. Although wearing the same uniform, but the warrior leader was wearing a different headband from his comrades. He was named the Chief of the Baletan Warriors.
Anjas stopped his horse's path, so the pedati stopped. Ningsih Dirama and Tirana were shocked.
“Hihihik!” Gurudi instead laughed giggling himself seeing the soldiers stopping their swords.
“Where are you going, Kisanak?” asked Baletan who remained seated on the back of his horse.
While the other soldiers looked at the curved roofed pedati tub. However, the soldiers found no one in the bathtub.
“Hamba wants to go to Demang Yono Sumoto residence, Gusti,” said Anjas with a very low attitude.
“For what business?” ask Baletan again.
“Horse feed grass, Gusti. Ki Demang likes to ask the servant to bring a nice type of grass whose freshness is more durable for his horses.”
“Ya already, go!” balletan Command.
“Thank you, Gusti,” said Anjas. He then slowly crushed his horse after Baletan gave him the way.
The small army of Demon Kingdom soldiers left immediately. They always stop people from traveling. Then how did Ningsih Dirama and Tirana not see its existence? They sit as they are in the tub. They were invisible because Anjas covered them with his shield science and veil. Tirana was not surprised by such an event, she could feel the existence of a layer of veil covering their existence.
They continued on their way to Demang Yono Sumoto's residence.
“Sorry, Noble Gusti. Please stop for a moment!” suddenly Tirana.
“What's up, Guard Girl?” ask Anjas.
“See the woman at the corner of that wall!” point Tirana towards the wall fence that is on the main road of the center of the academy.
In the corner of the wall there appeared a woman dressed in rags, tangles and dirt, was crouching eating rice in the form of banana leaves. He ate with a meal without looking anymore.
“That's Aunt Surina!” tirana.
The deg!
Shaken heart Ningsih Dirama. Suddenly sadness covered his chest and mind. He did not expect his brother's condition would be that bad.
“Mbakyu Surina..” said Ningsih shrieked and shed tears.
“I want to see him, Kang Mas,” said Ningsih Dirama while getting off the pedati.
“But, Gusti...” said Tirana hesitated to prevent.
However, Ningsih Dirama has already gone down, assisted by Gurudi.
Ningsih Dirama directly approached the woman who was Surina Asih. Anjas Perjana let his wife. While Tirana already has a guess what will happen.
Ningsih Dirama stepped slowly closer to Surina. The slum woman only looked a little at the feet of Ningsih Dirama. After that, he continued eating.
“Mbakyu Surina!” call Ningsih Dirama slow and soft.
Instantly Surina Asih was shocked and then fell silent. His hand that was about to bribe stopped in the middle of the road.
“Mbakyu Surina!” call Ningsih again.
With a feeling of fear, Surina slowly turned to look up. He looked directly at Ningsih's face.
“Aaa…! Forgive me, Ningsih! I have no intention of killing you! Forgive me, Ningsih!” surina shouted in fear instead of playing while putting her head into her knee bend.
Surprised Ningsih Dirama saw Surina's reaction.
“Mbakyu, you didn't kill me, I'm alive,” said Ningsih Dirama.
Tirana came touching Ningsih Dirama's shoulder. Ningsih looked over and found that Tirana was already nearby.
“Mother, let me persuade her. Mom go back to the pedati,” Tirana said gently to Ningsih.
With a heavy heart Ningsih shifted backwards.
Tirana came forward and crouched down beside Surina. Tirana touched her hand on Surina Asih's shoulder.
“Aaa..!” jerita Surina Asih when she felt her shoulder touched.
“Aunt Surina!” call Tirana soft.
Surina was silent from her screams. He was surprised, surprised to recognize the voice.
Surina quickly raised her face and looked at the person beside her once again. The beautiful face of Tirana who smiled coldly. The face of the woman who once gave him a basket of apples.
“Hihihi! Good man!” surina laughed.
“Aunt Surina will come with me?” tirana asked while still smiling gently.
“You want to!” said Surina sumringah while nodding quickly.
“Bring food Aunty!” tirana.
“Iya, hihihi!” surina. He happily wrapped up the rest of his food.
Tirana immediately beckoned to Ningsih Dirama who was standing near the pedati. Tirana pointed at her lips and then smothered her herself.
“Close your lips, Honey. Don't let your sister see your lips!” said Anjas who understood Tirana's intentions.
Ningsih immediately smothered her mouth, covering her lips and nose with her palms.
Meanwhile, Tirana had already led Surina towards the pedati. Surina brought her unfinished rice package. Surina looked at Anjas, looking at Ningsih and Gurudi.
“Hihihik!” Gurudi just laughed.
“Hihihi!” Surina laughed back.
They all had finally climbed up to the pedati. Gurudi moved to sit on Anjas side.
When Surina re-opened her rice package, Tirana took the time to kiss the woman's forehead. Surina simply smiled without understanding what Tirana was doing to her. While Ningsih cried in silence to see the condition of her brother.
Before the pedati reached Demang Yono Sumoto's residence, Surina had already finished her meal. However, when looking at the neighborhood where they came, how surprised Surina.
“Aaak!” surina screams while standing on the pedati that is still running. However, he did not jump because Tirana first spotted him.
Tirana quickly catches Surina's body falling.
Hearing that scream, Demang Yono Sumoto who was just about to ride his horse in the courtyard, became shocked. He quickly turned his attention outside the yard.
The pedati had already arrived in front of the fence wall of Demang Yono Sumoto's house.
Demang Yono's gaze focused on the handsome man running the horse.
Tirana immediately stood up and waved to Demang Yono Sumoto. The demon immediately focused his attention on the beautiful woman.
“Permaid Tirana?” said Demang Yono Sumoto was somewhat doubtful.
“Bopooo!” shouted Ningsih Dirama loudly while waving her hand anyway.
Very surprised Demang Yono Sumoto. (BH)
