A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Papepa 4: The Mission of Demang

*The Arrow Fighters (Papepa)*

After delivering the return of the richest man in the Duchy to his courtyard, Duke Marak Wijaya was surprised by the arrival of a group of Duchy soldiers carrying two prisoners, followed by one pedati and four horses. Both prisoners were swordsmen.

The gaze of Duke Marak Wijaya looked solemn to Alma Fatara. However, he so frowned when he saw the Commander of Gendas Pati must be swept down from the horse pedati.

“What happened, Gendas Pati?” duke Marak Wijaya.

“We caught two strangers taking the notice board from its place,” replied Gendas Pati.

“Not that, you're what I mean!” dukip Marak Wijaya.

“I was incapacitated by Alma Fatara, the female swordsman,” replied the commander again.

“I didn't paralyze him, he himself paralyzed himself. I warned her not to touch me, but she didn't care. He was like a suicidal man. I told you not to jump, uh, still he jumped into the abyss. Hahaha!” cerocos Alma interrupted the chatter of the lord and subordinate, then laughed.

“What is this, Dad?” A young man came from the side of the mansion and asked suddenly. However, his attitude immediately stopped and was stunned when he saw an Alma Fatara, “Wow! Where's this angel, Dad? So beautiful.”

“He was a stranger who broke the rules of Kademangan,” answered the Duke sufficiently. He then turned to the soldiers, “Bring the two men to prison. And the rest of you disperse!”

“Let's Speech, tell the Duke, we bring secret news for him,” Warna Mekararum said.

“Good, Nek,” said Ayu Speak obediently. He then shouted to the Duke, “Adimati!”

“Hahahak ..!” Not only did Alma Fatara laugh out loud, but also Magar Kepang, Debur Angkara and Garam Sakti.

It made Duke Marak Wijaya and his son named Arya Mungkara beliciously offended, visible from the bitter expression of his face.

“Why are you captive?” ayu Wicara asked in astonishment as she looked at her comrades in surprise.

“Not Adimati, but Duke, Ayuuu!” the Errorat Magar Kepang.

“Yes that's what I mean, just get carried away, what's funny!” dumel Ayu Speak. Then he said to the Duke, “Duke, we have come to bring the secret news to Adimati!”

“Hahahak!” Alma and her colleagues laughed again, but not as loud as before.

“Hahaha!” laughter Arya Mungkara who is aware of the disorder Ayu Speakara.

Adipati Marak Wijaya temporarily ignored the fatal mistake called Ayu Speakara, he was more interested in the secret news mentioned by the girl who had descended from his horse.

“What secret news do you have for me? Or is it just your ploy to escape from the entanglement of the law?” duke Marak Wijaya asked, plus accused.

“Hahaha!” the laughter of Alma Fatara, made the duke and his son's attention diverted to him. “Like this, Uncle Duke. We do have secret news from Kademangan Dulangwesi. But we also without intention, entangled the law of the Duchy. So, how's this, Uncle Duke?”

Alma Fatara only smiled after explaining.

The dukes of Marak Wijaya and Arya Mungkara were able to grasp the intent of Alma's question.

“Who are you guys?” duke Marak Wijaya.

“Me and my friends are just ordinary villagers from the coast, who helped Gusti Queen of Jintamani Kingdom to go for treatment ..”

“What? Queen of the Kingdom of Jintamani?” say Adipati Marak Wijaya surprised, cut the words of Alma Fatara. “You mean, you brought Gusti Queen Colour Mekararum?”

“Eh, Uncle Duke knows?” alma Fatara was surprised.

“Unknown, just know that the Queen of the Kingdom of Jintamani is the Queen of Color Mekararum,” replied Duke Marak Wijaya.

He then looked at the slightly bluish-faced old lady who was sitting leaning against the bathtub.

“Is she Gusti Queen Colour Mekararum?” duke Marak Wijaya asked while looking at the grandmother in the pedati.

“True, Uncle Duke,” replied Alma Fatara while smiling always.

“Honorku, Gusti Ratu Colour Mekarum!” duke Marak Wijaya said after he believed that the sick old woman was indeed the queen of the Kingdom of Jintamani.

“Thank you for recognizing me, Duke, even though we have only met this time,” Colour Mekararum said with a character that remains authoritative.

“Dad, wait!” sergeant Arya Mungkara while coming to his father from behind. Then she said, “Obviously the old woman is far away to be called a queen. She was nothing more than a sick grandmother. They must have been trying to fool us!”

“You think your father is stupid and easy to cheat? I'm sure she's the Queen of Colours Mekararum. Give respect!” said Adipati Marak Wijaya then pressed the nape of his son who was quite tall.

“My respect, Wrestling Queen!” said Arya Mungkara while respecting.

“So, how is this, Uncle Duke?” ask Alma again.

“Let them both go and you guys disperse, get back on duty!” duke Marak Wijaya's orders to his soldiers.

“Eh, give me my broken cleaver!” jutting Debur Angkara quickly to the soldier who brought his Two Loyal Golok, as if afraid if the machete forgot to be returned.

This is the reason that makes Alma Fatara and Debur Angkara escape from the threat of prison.

Finally, the Duke of Marak Wijaya welcomed the arrival of Alma Fatara and colleagues. They then gathered on the porch of the spacious Duke's house. Arya Mungkara is accompanying her father.

“We want to make sure, Uncle Duke. Does Uncle have an official named Pamong Sukarat?” asked Alma Fatara who was standing while holding both arms of Colour Mekararum who was sitting in the chair. He stood behind the chair.

“True. He is my representative,” answered Duke Marak Wijaya.

“Where is he now, Uncle?” ask Alma Fatara.

“Pamong Sukarat is supervising the creation of a landing arena tomorrow in the square near the river,” replied the duke.

“As this story goes, Uncle, ...”

So began Alma Fatara recounting the coup attempt Nyi Kenanga against her husband, Demang Baremowo. Until the case of the arrival of the Academic Forces led by the Northern Commander of Balongan Dampukulan Duchy.

“What? Reposted bring troops to Kademangan Dulangwesi?” kejut Adipati Marak Wijaya. “Who ordered him to go there?”

“We already know, Uncle Demang. He came at night to Kademangan actually helped Nyi Kenanga and was about to kill Demang Baremowo and Nyi Bungkir, Demang's young wife. So there is no way they were sent by the Uncle Duke, but must have been sent by another Duchy official ...”

“You mean Pamong Sukarat?” terka Adipati Marak Wijaya cut off Alma's explanation.

“True, Gusti Adipati. Because Pamong Sukarat is the father of Nyi Kenanga!” sahut Magar Kepang whose tongue itches to get into the important and serious discussion.

The Duke and his son momentarily looked at the smiling Magar Kepang.

“Befit yesterday Re-Commander was absent, Father,” said Arya Mungkara.

“Arya, send soldiers to call Reimpact facing me!” duke Marak Wijaya's orders to his son.

“Eh, forgive me, Uncle Duke!” sahut Alma quickly while smiling clumsyly. “Uncle Commander is dead I killed. Hehehe!”

“What?!” dukip Marak Wijaya and Arya Mungkara.

“Please understand, Uncle. Instead of me killing all the soldiers of the Northern Army of the Duchy, so I just killed the commander, so that there are not many casualties on both sides,” kilah Alma, still a smile.

“Demang Baremowo's confidence in the Duke was so great, that he still ordered us to present this matter, as proof that on the Duke's side there were dangerous officials.” This time the one who spoke was Colour Mekararum, as a silencer if the duke was angry to learn the retainer of his soldiers was killed by Alma.

“I agree with Alma's actions to kill Dampuk Rework, Dad,” said Arya Mungkara.

“I'm also at stature!” timpal Ayu Speak.

“Hahahak ..!” Suddenly their laughter explodes together, where the sound of Alma's laughter so peculiar dominates.

At that moment, two sons of Bendara Kadipaten arrived in front of the courtyard gate with his horse mount. They come to redeem Alma Fatara's freedom which then ends up disappointed. (BH)
