Time is slowly creeping in Padukuhan Somawangi. The atmosphere in the Joglo House of the Great Leader of the Trah Somawangi residence also felt lonely. It had been three days that Panembahan Mbah Iro barely came out of his room. At Kyai Badrussalam's request he was studying ancient books and writings on a pile of leaves of the palm leaf belonging to Eyang Senthir which was found in a stone coffin with the bodies of Miryam and Santika.
His mind was like drowning in the invisible world that became the core of the contents of the Divine Fiber Ruci. Life is the journey of finding the true teacher or the way back to the Creator. His soul seemed to fly through the journey of life from the atmara rajya or nature before birth to the life of Jibanera prakretti, then the death of Mrsetyura kshetra and ended in the realm of eternity, Anantakalera rajya. In this nature the soul will return to the Creator, or the term manunggaling kawula Gusti.
In his adventure Panembahan Mbah Iro also saw a single glittering light like a gem, containing eight colors: black, red, yellow, white, green, blue, brown, purple and one golden color.
“The colors symbolize the teachings of Lord Ruci fiber. That is, so that we like to study and work hard, live well, honestly, sincerely do not expect praise, always aware, obedient to the teacher; not ambitious, firm in stance; and a gesture of respect to others and the universe,” Panembahan Mbah Iro said on his fifth night.
In front of him Eyang Penatus, Raden Mas Parto, Pranaja and Andika nodded their heads. Only Kyai Badrussalam went silent without reacting anything.
“What about the second book of grandfather? Have you finished reading it too?” pranaja.
“The second book is Jamus Kalimasada, a mustika that can give the power of Robyong Mustakawarih. The highest power in the universe. Therefore this power cannot fall on just anyone,” said Panembahan.
“Kalimasada Jamus?” ask Raden Mas Parto.
“Iya. People who can master the power of Robyong Mustakawarih must be humans who do not have enemies, the degree of nobility is equivalent to God, good at fighting **** personal, polite in choosing words, good manners, have respect for others like yourself,” replied Panembahan Mbah Iro. “He also has the nature of fair, patient, honest, obedient to religious teachings, full of confidence, and dare to speculate.”
As soon as Panembahan finished his words, almost all turned his eyes to Andika, except for Kyai Badrussalam.
“Why do you guys look at me that way?”
They just fell silent, no one answered Andika's question. But in their hearts they agreed, it seemed that all the traits mentioned in Jamus Kalimasada were owned by Andika. Among them all only Andika who is still innocent, does not have any canuragan science. No enemies, friendly, always ready to help, to the point that his friends call him an angel-hearted man.
“What are the advantages of Robyong Mustakawarih Panembahan?” ask the Statue Eyang.
“He has the inner strength to temper anyone's anger, just by rubbing his head. But if it has reached the threshold of patience, he was immediately turned into a big giant who is pure white.”
Everyone was amazed to hear the story of Panembahan.
“The strongest creature in the universe. He can kill his enemy just by stepping on his shadow.”
‘Wow! Killing people just by stepping on his shadow?’
“That is why Robyong Mustakawarih must be mastered by holy men whose patience level is high. Not easily angry and emotional. His heart must be clean from hate, and impartial. Because if he takes sides, it's not fair to the side he doesn't defend."
But again everyone turned their eyes to Andika. The handsome young man with a milk-white complexion also became careless. His face was immediately confused by the views of Pranaja and his grandfathers. What does it mean they look at me so?
This time it was Kyai Badrussalam's turn to take center stage.
“I know you want Andika who studied Jamus Kalimasada, but we can't do it before there is permission from the owner of the book.”
They all fell silent. Playing with each other's minds. Did Miryam and Santika master Jamus Kalimasada? How great is their power.
“Both Miryam and Santika did not master that power. Miryam is a woman whose heart is filled with grudges against her own destiny. He feels his love life is cruelly nailed by the destiny he has to live,” Kyai Badrussalam said again as if he could read the direction of their minds.
Pranaja smiled as he shook his head. How powerful is Kyai Badrussalam himself? He can even read the skills of others.
“You are so great, Grandpa. Your ability really surprised me,” said Pranaja.
“We should postpone the conversation about Jamus Kalimasada,” cut Panembahan Mbah Iro. “There is a more surprising thing written in Senthir's eyang notes on these lontar leaves.”
“Iya. Please Panembahan,” said Raden Mas Parto.
Everyone is silent again. Apparently they were very curious about the contents of the record of the Eyang Senthir.
“Note above the lontar it tells about Miryam and her relationship with Santika, Ken Darsih and the ancestors of the Somawangi Trah namely Eyang Panembahan Somawangi.”
Whahuh? Pranaja, Eyang Penatus and Raden Mas Parto looked surprised.
“Miryam is the most beautiful girl ever born in the world. Her beauty is eternal, to attract the attention of a dragon demon named Badranaya to poke his body unconscious and rob him. But Miryam never noticed it. The stealth seed instantly developed into a fetus in just three days. Then when the body of the poor girl was undergoing treatment at the place of Eyang Senthir, Panembahan Somawangi saw it and immediately fell in love with her.”
Panembahan Mbah Iro stopped his story. Panembahan Somawangi, however, is the most revered figure and ancestor of the Somawangi breed. They never thought that their ancestors also had a dark side in their lives. Pranaja, Eyang Penatus and Raden Mas Parto immediately lowered their heads.
“Panembahan Somawangi know human fetuses half stealth that is still stored in the womb Miryam. Then he moved the fetus into the womb of an Eyang Senthir cantrik named Daningrum. The fetus was growing in the womb Daningrum, then born and named Ken Darsih.”
Panembahan Mbah Iro stopped back. Take a deep breath. It was seen that his body was shaking withstanding the feeling in his heart.
“Miryam was then married by Panembahan Somawangi. Then he became a true warrior. With the power of Tirtanala, Miryam counterattacked Panembahan Somawangi, and returned to Jalatunda with her lover Santika. They were married by Eyang Senthir. A love story so winding and painful before they gain happiness.”
Panembahan Mbah Iro ends his story with emotion. Not feeling his tears dripping wet his two cheeks that were already wrinkled at eating age.
The journey of life is romantic. There is always a dark side, especially when it comes to love.
