Episode 33 Early Mula Rengganis
2 Years before the Disaster
"Rengganis.....When did you come?" gayatri asked in a soft voice.
"Must Atri....Father lan Biyung (father read bopo in Javanese father and mother) said there are things to talk about with Romomu" said Rengganis.
Rengganis is the daughter of Lurah Peno from Wonoasri village which is located on the lake of Madyoasri village of Gayatri village.
Rengganis and Gayatri were friends since childhood, they were only 3 months older than Rengganis.
Rengganis is a sweet black girl with a full body (thump) and height compared to the body of Gayatri who is slim and petite.
Their differences are not only physical, their nature is very different. Rengganis is a very chatty, agile and brave girl, whereas Gayatri tends to be quiet, calm and shy.
However, they love each other and complete each other.
"Nis yuuk maen to the water guava garden and mango behind the many loo fruit" asked Gayatri while pulling Rengganis' hand to follow to the backyard.
"You are indeed my best friend Kok Tri.tau only I came here because I want to ask for guava and your mangosteen" replied Rengganis with a cry.
"Awaaasss don't climb trees anymore, Nis, you are called Budhe Peno Kapok" Gayatri said with a threatening tone.
Instead of fearing the threat of Gayatri, Rengganis giggled and immediately ran away from Gayatri.
"Niiisss!!!!...ya aampuun kok ya kok koyo koc kancil ora iso meneng loo (rich Kancil can not be diem)" omel Gayatri who saw Rengganis who had nyincing jarit and ran away from him.
After arriving behind the wayward Rengganis had removed his cellop and started climbing the mango tree.
"Nis..ati-ati yaah, duh how will this be if pakdhe and Budhe backward" said Gayatri while clingak-clinguk watching the surrounding.
"Triii.trima this fruit" said Rengganis who threw some mangoes down.
Gayatri just resigned to spread the burlap under the tree.
From a small Gayatri always keep under the tree while catching the fruit that has been picked Rengganis, for fear of being scolded by his father and mother.
After Rengganis satisfied picking the ripe fruits, immediately slumped down.
"Miss.....Nis. This is a lot of fruit meh mbok maem dewe po piye (want you eat yourself)?" omel Gayatri's.
"Hihihi yo ndak, la ntar my stomach hurts" replied Rengganis while chuckling.
They immediately picked up a plate and knife and started eating while eating in the cakruk (a small house of bamboo) near the tree while chatting.
"Tri..kamu know it looks like our village will be attacked by Kanjeng Sinuhun Haryo" said Rengganis.
"I fear Tri, King Haryo despite being handsome but rude and ruthless, how the fate of the village and we will be Tri" said Rengganis in an anxious voice.
"The news is true Nis...I only heard from Mulyo mas yesterday, I think not really, know my cousin's own mas if the story is often in excess" said Gayatri.
"Then the Father came here, confused how to face Gusti Haryo's army of war experts"
"Why Gusti Haryo wants to plunder our small village Nis.
"La wong he is his hobby of war to Tri, mulakno all wae invited to war and plundered" said Rengganis with excitement.
"Rengganissss...didn't the Father say your mouth is arranged, remember around us many ears, can Gusti Haryo hear and we will be finished off.......kamu Mauuu??!!!!" lurah Peno.
The rengganis who suddenly snapped at his father immediately lowered his head in fear.
"Nyuwun ngapunten Father (apologize father)" replied Rengganis slowly.
"Calm kangmas, do not think hard.now Kangmas prepare everything to welcome the arrival of Gusti Sinuhun" said Gayatri's father Lurah.
"Have we given up? if we give up the fate of our village.....Gusti Haryo was terrible" asked Rengganis.
"Wes toh Nis....Father lan Paklikmu wes agreed to surrender peacefully, rather than many of our people being slaughtered, mother, you lan kangmasmu also killed" Peno's lurah appeased the Rengganis.
"But Father.our troops and our village have knowledge that can eradicate Gusti Haryo"
"Science is a heretical science.although it is a hereditary science of our family but as long as the Father is alive, the Father will not protect the family of the Father with that knowledge.....The Father believes more in God Nis" explained Lurah Peno.

Even one month after that, Haryo's troops actually came to Wonoasri village, where he was, because the village had given news to surrender peacefully, the troops who came to the village were led by prince Aryawijaya as a representative of Haryo.
Rengganis who has a high kepo nature then, he peeked when the father welcomed the arrival of prince Arya.
"So is that Gusti Sinuhun Haryo??? yes, a very handsome canoe" said Rengganis lirih.
In the evening Rengganis met his father who had finished entertaining prince Arya and his troops who were resting in the main house from his house Lurah Peno.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" ask lurah Peno.
"Rengganist Father wants to ask"
"Ask opo nduk?"
"Usually for a friendly relationship are we not giving tribute and offerings to Gusti Sinuhun Haryo?"
"Yes it is like nduk...why do you ask like that nduk?"
"Is Rengganis also among those that the Father will give?" asked Rengganis while looking down.
"Do you want to nduk? even if you do not want to, mbakyumu Niluh want to replace you nduk" replied Peno lurah while rubbing the head of the gentle Rengganis.
"Don't mbakyu Niluh Papa, right mbakyu not the daughter of Father Lurah from Wonoasri village.let's just Rengganis the Father"
"Koe sure nduk? you know Gusti Haryo is bosenan and many concubines, Father is not willing if the daughter of this beautiful Father will be unhappy life nduk" said Lurah Peno with a worried tone.
"Nis sure Father....Rengganis willingly became one of Gusti Haryo's concubines" replied Rengganis full of confidence.
Lurah Peno who is very familiar with the character of her hard-core daughter with a heavy heart allows Rengganis to be one of the offerings.
"Prepare yourself for tomorrow Nduk.Gusti Haryo troops will be home soon tomorrow morning"
"Good.... Father" said Rengganis and immediately rushed to his room with a happy face.
***
The next morning the army led by Prince Arya returned to the kingdom.
Rengganis who had dressed up as beautiful as possible glanced at the prince of Aryapun no, Even so the Rengganis did not despair.
After taking 3 days until they arrived in the kingdom Gusti Haryo, Rengganis was immediately taken to the palace of the king's concubines.
While there Rengganis bathed in some herbs and flowers, treated from the tip of his hair to the tip of his feet.
"When did Rengganis meet Gusti Sinuhun?"
"Hamba doesn't know Gusti Concubine yet, it looks like he's new to the village of Madyosari"
"Ooooo ya already mbok" replied Rengganis politely.
When Rengganis who was sitting alone while drinking warm tea accompanied by Mbok Garni suddenly came several other beautiful women.
"Gusti Concubine salutes the other concubines" whispered Mbok Garni.
"Sincerely servant Kang mbakyu concubine, introduce servant Rengganis"
"You just came from the village?" ask one of the concubines with a slick tone.
"That's your skin that's the item Gusti Sinuhun wants" another concubine sneered.
"My advice is that if you are silent and fickle, you are safe and remain a concubine even though you do not serve Gusti Sinuhun but you enjoy all the luxuries of this palace" said the concubines laughing and leaving Rengganis.
The humiliated Rengganis wanted to attack the concubines immediately but his hand was held tightly by Garni.
After the flirtatious concubines left immediately mbok Garni told the rules in the environment of this concubine.
"Mbok but Rengganis is angry...but is it true Gusti Sinuhun does not like sweet black girls like me?"
"Simbok less know Gusti concubine, but 5 great concubines favorite Gusti Haryo does have yellow skin
"The five great concubines they were mbok"
"Hahaha yes Gusti, which great concubine will come down to take care of a new concubine, unless the concubine who came was very striking beautiful and they just came down here"
"They are also just ordinary concubines to mbok.gitu ngatain I izzx" said Rengganis sewot.
"Although concubines were common, but they were once used to serve Gusti Sinuhun ..so their level was below the great concubine"
Rengganis nodded lethargicly, though so Rengganis tried to learn to become a concubine who could lure Gusti Sinuhun.
Rengganis obeyed Mbok garni's orders obediently, although often insulted by the concubines of the level 1-5 Rengganis learned to be indifferent, because Rengganis still believed it could definitely attract the attention of Gusti Sinuhun.
Even three weeks Rengganis in the palace, the installment rengganis has changed with the graceful Rengganis.
"Gustii ayuuu...ayoooo buruan wake up, Gusti Sinuhun come from the battlefield, all concubines must welcome him" said mbok Garni woke Rengganis.
"It's only half an hour and four mbok.."
"Huruuuan Gustiii" said symbok firmly.
"Yes.iya mbok"
Rengganis immediately bathed and dressed with the mbok.
"Gusti ayu is very beautiful." praise Mbok Garni while gently rubbing the head of her employer.
"Well simbook....Nis so embarrassed"
"Our Ayoo Gusti immediately marched on the front door with the other concubines"
Rengganis immediately followed the symbok and immediately occupied the rear row.
"Mbyu....Gusti the queen was the front one, huh?" whispered Rengganis to the level 35 concubine standing beside him.
"This palace has not yet occupied the position of queen of Nis"
"So the front one's the great concubine huh?"
"Yes they are the great concubines of Gusti Sinuhun's beloved" the 35th-grade concubine explained.
A faint smile rose before the Rengganis, as it felt there was hope to lure Gusti Sinuhun and become the queen of this kingdom.
"La if from here it does not look the face of Sinuhun to yahhh' grumbled Rengganis in the heart.
In the evening and for the next 7 days Gusti Sinuhun held a victory party with the officials and nobles of the palace.
For 7 days also the concubines were given a turn to accompany Haryo in the party.
Rengganis waited for his turn with a pounding heart, the time awaited finally arrived on the 4th day the Rengganis was already preparing in front of the concubine room door.
When Haryo arrived the Rengganis were confused.
"Nyuwun pangapuntengan sinten njih (Sorry who are you)?" asked the Rengganis in a soft voice
Haryo frowned while looking at Rengganis.
"You're the new concubine Dimas Arya brought in?" ask Haryo
"Yes, the new concubine Gusti Sinuhun Haryo brought from Wonoasri village" replied Rengganis in confusion.
"Basar stupid girl, I am your Gusti Junjungan..yang yesterday brought you here is my brother Gusti Prince Arya Wijaya" replied Haryo while patting Rengganis' forehead slowly.
Rengganis who saw the eyes of Haryo who was staring at him sharply immediately prostrated in fear while begging for mercy.
"Have stood up.My eyes are happy, so it doesn't matter that you recognize me wrong"
"Ayoo accompany me to the party.other times do not recognize me wrong" said Haryo although with a smile aura therapy that came out made Rengganis tremble in fear.
Rengganis was devastated to accept the reality, the husband who had to be served had a very terrible face.
In the party Rengganis witnessed the festivities, many dancers, handsome young nobles and beautiful dancers could comfort his sad heart.
Haryo at that time his heart was so happy that the offerings of the village and the kingdom of the conquered were distributed to the officials and leaders of his troops.
"Dimas Aryawijaya come here" called Haryo in a loud voice.
Prince Arya immediately came forward and saluted his brother.
"Sinuhun kangmas...What's up until the kang mas call Dimas?" arya said as she sat down to rest after saluting her brother.
"Dimas my sister.your age is enough to build a household, from the past until now you are very difficult if asked to find the wives of the princesses of the kingdom, the princess of nobility"
"Then tonight Kangmas gave a girl offering from the conquered area for you per wife"
"Mbakyu-mbakyumu has seen and judged that this woman is very suitable for you"
Rengganis who saw Arya who was sitting in the middle of the party was more fond of Arya, especially hearing that Gusti would give a sacrificial girl to be the wife of the prince Arya.
Rengganis immediately displayed his most beautiful smile because he was sure he would be given to Arya.
"Yes Dimas, the five of us have met and talked with the beautiful girl, especially Kanjeng Gusti Sinuhun has agreed that the daughter of Lurah Madyosari village named Gayatri will be your wife" said Consort Larasati.
"How's Dimas? if you agree tomorrow morning you will go there, the village also I give you, build a palace there, because Madyosari will be a small kingdom under our kingdom" said Haryo.
"Sendiko dawuh Kangmas Sinuhun, if according to kang mas and keng mbakyu it is best for Arya.
Hearing that it was devastated, her beautiful face immediately turned 180°.
"Why should Atri.....???!!!"
"My design Wonoasri is bigger than Madyosari .... why is it made into a kingdom even Madyosari?!!!"
"Why luck was obtained by Atri who soon became Queen while I was only a concubine.even a concubine who was only at the lowest level where no one looked" the Rengganist mind that does not accept this situation.
Haryo who saw the change in expression of Rengganis's face, her mouth slightly raised while letting out a terrible smirk of her mainstay and I don't know what is happening in Haryo's mind at this time.
"My new concubine..here you are!!" haryo said in a loud voice.
Rengganis who heard Haryo's voice booming immediately surprised and fixated on seeing Haryo's flat face but revealed a smile that made Rengganis have an unpleasant feeling.
