Blind Devil
Chapter 71: The Devil Kawi

Pranaya, Andini and Andira are shocked to hear Aria's words.

“Mem...kill Tumenggung Wirayuda? Pranaya asked, as if she could not believe what she had heard.

“Why your face? Can't believe we killed Tumenggung Wirayuda?

“Trust...trust sir! But,” Pranaya did not continue his words.

“But what? Tanya Buto Ijo's.

“Tumenggung Wirayuda is not a random person, in addition to the thousands of loyal soldiers who are beside him, Tumenggung Wirayuda is also famous for his magic,” answered Pranaya.

“You know Samarawijaya? Tanya Buto Ijo's.

“That's...that's King Kadiri! Answer Pranaya.

“How big is Samarawijaya's power with Wirayuda? Tanya Buto Ijo's.

“Of course the great Prabu Samarawijaya, even the power of the king Mapanji Garasakan has not been able to match the kingdom of Kadiri.

“So what's so great about Wirayuda? The Buto Ijo.

Pranaya frowns hearing the words Buto Ijo, “what is the connection he compares the power of Prabu Samarawijaya with Tumenggung Wirayuda,” Inner Pranaya.

“You must be confused by the words of Buto Ijo,” Wangsa said, after seeing Pranaya as if thinking.

Pranaya nods his head to hear the words of the House.

“We in Daha have killed Senopati Singalodra from Kahuripan and Tumenggung Adiguna from Kadiri, if you do not see the face of Tumenggung Wirabumi, it looks like Prabu Samarawijaya has also been killed,” said Wangsa, while glancing towards Aria Pilong.

The faces of Pranaya, Andini and Andira immediately pias heard the words of the House, but in their hearts, they did not believe the words of the House.

Because the kingdom has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of powerful people, so the words of the House are considered as the boast of the sage only.

“When the kisanak will continue the journey, as far as I know, before reaching Tumapel, must pass through Mount Kawi.

“Mount Kawi is a place of creepy, begal, robbing and fine creatures there is notoriously cruel, sometimes traders and tourists prefer to turn towards Bromo if you want to go to Kahuripan,” Pranaya said.

Phoe!

“What are you afraid of on Mount Kawi? All who interfere with our trip, yes finish,” Buto Ijo replied to the words of Pranaya.

Pranaya finally took a deep breath hearing the words of Buto Ijo, then looked at Andira and asked.

“You really want to come with them?

“Yes, dad! There's an aunt with me, I don't have to worry,” Andira replied.

“Alright, if your decision is round,” reply Pranaya.

***

One day they stayed at the house of the Kemala family, waiting when there was a follow-up attack from the robbers who were about to take over Kelud from the Kemala family, but the robbers who were worried did not show up.

Aria then decides tomorrow they will continue the journey.

After a long argument between Buto Ijo and the House, they finally decided to ride a horse, the House accompanied Aria, Andini and Andira each on their own horses.

Early in the morning 3 horses darted down from the slopes of the mountain kelud.

Andini and Andira could only shake their heads to see Buto Ijo continue to run after those who rode, even though the horse was whipped and ran like he was chasing the devil, but Buto Ijo still ran beside the horse that was ridden by the House.

Andini know the road that leads to Tumapel so they do not go the wrong way, but passing Mount Kawi is a challenge in itself, because the more they go up, the more dense the forest they enter.

Seeing there were small times with clear water and small and large stones in the middle of the times, the House decided to take a break, near the big rock behind the rock there are shade trees so they avoid the hot sun.

Like yesterday, after deciding on a break, Andini and Andira cleaned up the location that would be where they would sit and rest.

After the place is clean, Andini immediately spread out the cloth, to put food, while Andira fills the water container, for them to drink.

Andini and Andira prepare food, fruit and water to drink.

Aria stood up then stepped towards the small times that were in front of them.

Andini follows Aria, the third “kakak! Do you want to shower or wash your face? Let Andini help,” Andini says.

“No need! I can do it myself,” replied Aria without turning her head.

Andini returned to the resting place after hearing Aria's words, the look on her face looked disappointed.

Aria opened the caping, slowly took the water with both hands then started washing her face.

Andira immediately slapped Andini's hand, seeing Aria's caping was at the young man's side.

“Bi, take a look! third sister opens her caping,” whispered Andira.

Andini nods her head at Andira's whisper.

The two girls were very curious, they were sure that the person they called third brother was still young, but his face was very hard to see because it was always covered in caping, if the third sister caping is about to be opened, the two girls are always told to stay away from Aria.

“What are you guys whispering about? Buto Ijo asked as he stared intently at Andira.

“We want to help the third brother, but the third brother always refuses,” replied Andira.

“Why should you be confused, isn't that better! So you don't have to bother anymore,” Wangsa came to talk after hearing Andira's words.

Everyone was silent after seeing Aria come and sit down.

Andini immediately gave a cup of water from bamboo to Aria, while Andira offered her fruits.

But Aria was silent and did not take the two girls' gifts.

“Are we already in the area of Mount Kawi? Ask Aria.

“Third brother is right! We are already in mount kawi, after passing the eastern slope, then down the mountain, there will be a road leading to Tumapel,” replied Andini.

Aria nods her head at Andini's reply.

“You've recovered baby? Aria.

“What did he say to me? Andini asked in her heart.

Andini was so shocked, that she jumped back and saw green smoke coming out of Aria's body.

“Bi! What smoke is that? Ask Andira.

“I also do not know, earlier third brother said, “you have recovered dear,” suddenly smoke emerged from the body of third brother,” replied Andini.

“Maybe the third sister likes the aunt, the smoke comes from the liking of the third sister,” Andira replied to the words of the Aunt.

“Do not like ngaco,” reply Andini.

The faces of the two were even more shocked after seeing the green smoke begin to form like the body of a very beautiful woman, wearing a green kebaya, on the head of the woman looked a crown with pearls.

“Honor Buto Ijo to Nyi Selasih,” says Buto Ijo.

Nyi Selasih nods her head at Buto Ijo.

The house also saluted, because he had been told who Nyi Selasih was, by the western guard.

Nyi Selasih smiled as she nodded her head.

“Welcome to meet Resi Wangsanaya,” said Nyi Selasih.

“Hail respect House to Nyi Ratu, lord of Mount Lawu,” reply House.

Nyi Selasih laughed softly at the words of the House, revealing her white teeth and lined up neatly behind her lips and the beautiful smile of Nyi Selasih.

“I am no longer the ruler of Mount Lawu, Resi, Raden is the king of all creatures on Mount Lawu,” Nyi Selasih replied to the words of the House.

“So this is fourth sister and fifth sister? Nyi Selasih asked as she looked at Andini and Andira.

“Be….True Nyi Ratu,” replied Andini in a fearful tone to see Nyi Selasih.

While Andira did not dare to look at Nyi Selasih, her head was always lowered.

“You need not be afraid of me, during these few days I took a break to recover my energy, after my energy recovered, just got out and got acquainted with you guys, and,” Nyi Selasih said after seeing the two girls like being afraid of him.

Nyi Selasih then said back, this time while holding Aria Pilong's hand, from her tone, Nyi Selasih looked anxious, as she said.

“Suami should be careful! On Mount Kawi there is one creature that likes nosy and always bothers humans, the creature is called Devil Kawi.”

Andini and Andira were surprised not to hear the words of Nyi Selasih, not about the Devil Kawi who made them surprised, but when Nyi Selasih called Aria as Husband.

Andini looked up at Nyi Selasih, as if in disbelief hearing the invisible words of the creature.

Without thinking, Andira suddenly said.

“Nyi Queen do not have to worry, there are first and second brother who will protect third brother,” Andira said.

Nyi Selasih laughed, his right hand shut his open mouth, hearing Andira's words.

“Fifth sister is right! There is still a second and first brother, because my husband is blind so does not have the ability to fight the enemy,” Nyi Selasih replied to Andira.

“Do not talk carelessly,” said Buto Ijo snapped Andira.

Andira silently heard the banging of Buto Ijo, his body directly docked to the body of the Aunt.

“Devil Kawi is a monkey king who ruled the Kawi mountain area, he would like to win alone, whatever he wants must be done, if not in the gubris! he will go berserk and destroy anything he sees,” continued Nyi Selasih.

“But there is one weakness of Devil Kawi, he always obeys whatever the wishes of his only child, I had met his son, when the devil's son Kawi was still a child, but now it must be big.”

“When did Queen Nyi meet Devil's son Kawi? Ask Wangsa.

“About 200 years ago,” replied Nyi Selasih.

Andini and Andira were shocked to hear the words of 200 years, no matter how old Nyi Selasih is right now, thought the two of them.

After giving an idea of the demon Kawi.

Nyi Selasih then whispered to Aria.

“Suami I miss you.”

“I also miss you, Nyi,” reply Aria.

Slowly Nyi Selasih's body faded and entered Aria Pilong's body, after saying friendly words in her husband's ears.

After Nyi Selasih disappeared, Aria then stood up, then said.

“I have a business for a minute! You wait for me here, don't go anywhere,” said Aria.

“Please Raden,” Reply Buto Ijo.

After saying, Aria helped her stick and then walked away.

After Aria left, the House said to Buto Ijo.

“You're not coming? Ask Wangsa.

“For what? Buto Ijo asked back.

“Didn't you want to know how to make a child? Household Saying.

The hue of Andini and Andira's face turned red, hearing the words of the House.

“You only! I don't want to die,” replied Buto Ijo.

Meanwhile, hundreds of spears on top of Mount Kawi.

A large ape's tail is black, red-eyed, grinning, showing long canines on the left and right sides of its mouth.

The great ape's nose sniffed the end of the smell of wind that had just passed through his nose.

Hm!

“There is a smell of Man.”
