Jayabaya

“King Salam. King Daneswara and his entourage are heading to palace”, the guard soldier told King Jayaswara who was eating his lunch.

“Take my crown!” king Jayaswara ordered while hurriedly spending the rest

his food.

Finish my story, 1000 keti not yet

assembled with perfection King Jayaswara tried to remain calm.

“Greetings brother! What is it that you came without telling me first?” king Jayaswara said.

“There are important things I want to talk about” said King Daneswara

“Let's talk in” said King Jayaswara took King Daneswara, Patih Naraya, Patih Mahesa, and Guru Drona to the secret room.

“Please sit gentlemen” Jayaswara arrange the seat they will sit.

King Daneswara recounts the contents of a letter that Gayatri had sent from Astapura.

Jayaswara's face was slightly pale to hear the contents of the letter spoken in detail by King Daneswara.

“What does the King want?” Jayaswara asked King Daneswara.

“I want to exchange 1000 Keti for 1000 hectares of land Jayabaya” said King Daneswara.

“It does not matter if the land is infertile, we will try our best to cultivate the plant” Patih Naraya added the word King.

Jayaswara is very happy. His debt has been abolished replaced by the handover of Jayabaya land which for him is meaningless. The land is barren and weed-grown. Land area of 1000 hectares if not done well will be in vain.

Ah let it be. These are all willpower

King Daneswara, if the plant doesn't work I'm not the one who should

they will receive if they grow crops in the inner barren land of King Jayabaya.

King Jayabaya and King Daneswara made a written agreement which enshrined both the patih of the Jayabaya and Dwipajaya kingdoms in important royal records. Teacher Drona

helping Mpu Wiyasa who did not participate in their journey wrote in a book made of the palm leaves.

King Jayabaya escorted the group to the land in question.

“Although this land is Jayabaya territory, but Jayabaya ancestors named it Jiwang, because they hoped that this land could be planted with mustard seeds. Today God sent you to plant the mustard in this barren land” Jayaswara said smiling happily.

“You are too much King Jayaswara. I will send workers tomorrow to clear the land in this place”

King Daneswara and his entourage left Jayabaya's palace.

“My wife, today I am free from debt to King Daneswara!” king Jayaswara hugged his wife.

“I can walk with my head held high without fear of being underestimated again” King Jayaswara humming ria.

...*****...

“Rest, no need to accompany me” said King Daneswara to Patih Naraya and Guru Drona who stood in the camp.

“Baginda, you have to rest tomorrow morning we have to go to Dwipajaya” said Guru Drona commemorating the King.

“Letter for my daughter is more important than my sleep. This is all I can do to help him” King Daneswara continues to correct his pen, writing a reply letter to his daughter.

Guru Drona and Patih Naraya looked at each other. King Daneswara had a stubborn streak and it dropped on his second daughter Parvati and his youngest daughter Gayatri.

“In her letter Gayatri decided to serve her husband no matter what. In the future, if Astapura fights against Dwipajaya or other kingdoms in the archipelago let Gayatri choose the path according to what he believes”, King Daneswara told Patih Naraya and Guru Drona.
