Blind Devil
Chapter 55: Sorry! I Lied to You

Aria used the Rogo Demit study to get out of the meeting place, because the distance with the place where Buto Ijo stood guard was close enough, Aria was not difficult to get out.

After being near Buto Ijo, Aria then said.

“Let's go!

Buto Ijo without saying much, then nodded his head, both of them then darted out of the Kadiri palace.

Commander Sanjaya and Sekar who hunt out, finally can only be disappointed after the Kadiri soldiers tell, that Aria and Buto Ijo have left the palace.

After being away from Kadiri's palace, Aria said.

“Find an empty house or temple that has not been used for our stay, before continuing the journey to Mount Semeru and do not forget, you pick up Wulan and Sarka at the residence Tumenggung Wirabumi.”

“Good, Raden,” Reply Buto Ijo.

Buto Ijo move.

After finding an empty house in the suburbs.

Buto Ijo then headed to Tumenggung Wirabumi's house to pick up Wulan and Sarka.

While in the palace room Kadiri, which was full of laughter, is now quiet.

Resi Sarpa Kencana after hearing the words of Prabu Samarawijaya, shortly afterwards resigned because he was disappointed.

Tumenggung Wirabumi seemed to take a deep breath in the meeting room.

“I was provoked by the words Senopati Singalodra,” said Prabu Samarawijaya.

“If true what was said by the swordsman Aria, Kadiri in danger, Kahuripan from the east, while Galuh from the west (Kuningan ),” said Tumenggung Wirabumi.

Prabu Samarawijaya in his heart justifies the words Tumenggung Wirabumi and only now does regret envelop the heart of Prabu Samarawijaya due to his words that offend Aria.

But it was too late, Prabu Samarawijaya realized his mistake, after Aria left.

Wulan and Sarka wondered inwardly, after Buto Ijo had told them to clean up the supplies, and left the house of Tumenggung Wirabumi.

“Why do we go, 2 more days I will start the competition? Sarka asked, while staring at Wulan.

“I don't know either! Answer Wulan.

The two then went to follow Buto Ijo to where Aria was waiting.

Tumenggung Wirabumi asked permission to Prabu Samarawijaya to persuade Aria.

After being given permission, Tumenggung Wirabumi went straight home, but Tumenggung Wirabumi's body immediately went limp, after Aria, Wulan and Sarka were not there, as well as their belongings.

“For a few words, destroyed everything,” Inner Tumenggung Wirabumi.

The Sarpa Kencana rishis were so out of the room, they immediately looked for Aria, but after traveling around the city did not find Aria, the Sarpa Kencana sissies sat down cross-legged and made inner contact, then he asked the serpent of his servant where their king was going.

The serpents did not dare to tell where their king was due to fear, but after being pushed and the sage Sarpa Kencana wanted to take responsibility, the sage finally knew where Aria Pilong was.

The Sarpa Kencana Rishis immediately shot towards the outskirts of Daha city.

“Wulan, Sarka was staring at Aria with many questions.

But seeing Aria's dark face, they did not dare.

To melt the atmosphere, Wulan then said.

“Kang Aria! Why are Kemuning and Ki Demang Surya not invited? Ask Wulan.

“I don't want to put their souls at risk, if I come with me.

“For a while with Tumenggung Wirabumi, Ki Demang surya and Kemuning will not do any harm.” Reply Aria.

“Raden why? Is there something wrong at the meeting place? Tanya Sarka ventured.

Aria then recounted the incident last afternoon and the results of the meeting while in the palace Kadiri.

Sarka and Wulan looked furious at Aria's words.

An oath came out from the mouths of the two young men.

Buto Ijo goes inside, telling Aria, that the sage Sarpa Kencana is coming.

Buto Ijo then came out after giving a signal, so that Resi Sarpa Kencana could enter.

Resi Sarpa Kencana took a deep breath when he was in front of Aria Pilong, somehow this time his tongue felt funny and difficult to talk.

“What's the resi looking for me? Ask Aria.

“I was shocked when I heard the words of Prabu Samarawijaya, before the meeting was over, I went to find Raden,” reply Resi Sarpa Kencana.

“But what did Raden say in the meeting? Tanya Resi Sarpa.

“You think I lied? Aria asked back.

“Not...not so Raden! I thought if Raden Aria's words were true, it means Kadiri is in danger,” Resi Sarpa Kencana replied.

“Kahuripan just waiting for Galuh's ability to help, but Commander Sanjaya has not given an answer,” replied Aria.

“Then you can know! What is Raden's next move? Tanya Resi Sarpa.

“I will continue my delayed journey,” replied Aria.

“But I have only 2 days left, did Raden not wait for Sayembara to finish, just continue the journey? Tanya Resi Sarpa.

“For what should I wait for the contest to finish? After all the results have also been known,” reply Aria.

“Meaning Raden? Resi Sarpa Kencana asked as her forehead wrinkled.

“Kahuripan will bring down the three heads of the black hand pad, Black wolf, ghost bat and Bahurekso.

“What in the competition can anyone beat them? Aria asked back.

“If one of them loses, what sesi thinks, both friends and their men will be silent, he said, that is the riot they will create so that this competition falls apart if the winner is not from their side.”

“What Tumenggung Wirabumi has prepared himself, if the chief swordsman of Kadiri kingdom falls into the hands of people from Kahuripan? Continue the words of Aria.

Rasi Sarpa Kencana's face changed hearing Aria's words, then he understood what Aria meant.

If the chief swordsman is a Kahuripan, it will be very dangerous for the Kadiri government.

The atmosphere was immediately silent after aria spoke.

“So noon I actually made a deal, will solve this problem in the arena competition, between me and the commander of Sanjaya, the three heads of the black Hand and Senopati Singalodra, respectively, but everything fell apart just because of the demented King respectfully,” back Aria said in a furious tone.

“But Raden! Isn't there still Sarka who has registered the race? Resi Sarpa Kencana.

“You can face them? Ask Aria.

“For Wulan I have to be able to,” reply Sarka.

“But I will not let Raden fight with Commander Sanjaya,” continued Sarka inwardly.

Hearing Sarka's words, Aria's face immediately turned towards Sarka.

“What are you talking about? Ask Aria.

Wulan saw Sarka silent, finally answering Aria's question.

“Kakang! I understand that my brother does not like me, even though Aria once promised Grandpa to take me and take care of me, but what Wulan needs is not just a guard, Wulan needs a companion, and Sarka's brother promised to accompany Wulan.

Without knowing Aria, in a few days Sarka continued to stick to Wulan and declare her love, Wulan had refused, but thanks to the persistence of Sarka's heart, Wulan finally melted and accepted Sarka to be her lover.

Aria nods her head after hearing Wulan's explanation, love can't be forced.

Aria also realized, she had considered Wulan like her own sister after Aria knew the true meaning of life.

After taking a deep breath, Aria finally said.

“If you want to stay in the competition, I'll stay here.

“But when I act in the arena of competition, it is to protect you from the enemy, not for the foolish King,” said Aria.

“Raden! There are some people approaching this place,” said Buto Ijo.

Hearing the words of Buto Ijo, Aria and the others came out.

When they get out of the house.

Buto Ijo is facing off with the commanders Sanjaya, Ki Panca and Sekar Arum.

Aria snorted at the sight of Commander Sanjaya, her already calm mind so recalled the events in the meeting room.

“Are you tired of living, daring to chase me all the way here? Asked Aria in a cold tone full of threat.

Aria's left hand had turned red, contained Aji mawa geni and was ready for battle.

“Wait for Mr Aria! We did not come to fight,” Commander Sanjaya replied.

But the face of the commander changed after seeing the young man who was near Wulan.

“Jaka….Samudra jaka?

Aria frowned hearing the words of Commander Sanjaya.

“There is no one named Jaka Samudra,” said Aria.

“Jaka back! Shouted Sekar Arum while darting and directly hugged Sarka.

Wulan immediately frowned, her eyes were glazed with glass, her heart was hot holding back the jealous flames seeing Sarka cuddle up with a very beautiful girl.

Sarka let go of Sekar Arum's embrace, after saluting the commander of Sanjaya, Sarka then said to Aria.

“Sorry Raden! I have been lying to Raden all this time, my real name is not Sarka, but Jaka Samudra, I am!

Sarka took a deep breath before saying,

“Commander son Sanjaya.”
