In the early hours of the night when King Basukamba and Empress Mahiswari were murdered.
"Ramandaa! Byungdaayaa!"
Anesha Sari who was sleeping roofed the sky near the campfire woke up sitting. Sweat was almost as big as a grain of corn dripping on his face.
"Alloohu Akbar!" Keep Saksena who is conducting tahajud prayer harden takbir to tell that he is praying.
"What's up, Princess?!" Aswangga who stood guard on the roof of the wagon immediately plunged closer as well as Officer Bentar Buana.
Princess Anesha Sari did not reply, her breathing was still heard hunting irregularly.
"Drink Princess, you seem to have nightmares." Begawan Teja Surendra who is waking up brings drinking water in the roof. The old man did prefer to sit up until dawn, like never sleeping.
When Anesha Sari shouted, the twenty women also woke up, but they did not dare to approach, just sitting eavesdropping from their respective places. Only Sungsang was still sound in his sleep.
Gluey! Gluey! Gluey!
Three times sipping water, Anesha Sari then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. At the same time, Jaga Saksena finished her prayer then approached.
Anesha Sari who had fully mastered herself said,
"Guard was right, I dreamed Ramanda King and Byungda became a bride on the throne. Everyone comes to give their blessing. But suddenly, the earth where they both collapsed formed a rectangular hole so deep that the ramanda and byungda mired in. I wanted to help them both, but Kakang Kama Kumara intercepted me, then pushed my body back. So I could only scream for missing the chance to help them both."
Hearing the story, Jaga Saksena and Begawan Teja Surendra looked at each other. Meanwhile, Aswangga and Bentar Buana officers only fell silent because they did not know the science of dreams.
A moment later, the begawan said softly,
"Kid Take care, you better calm Princess Anesha first."
A code not to reveal the meaning of Anesha Sari's dream, at least for now. But suddenly Anesha Sari said out loud,
"Human, you're a clever scholar. Please tell me what my dream means!"
"Kid Keep knowing better, Princess."
"Dragon, if you're really my future husband, quickly tell me what my dream means right now!!"
Anesha Sari's voice that rises does not make Jaga Saksena immediately obey him. The young man said softly,
"Daughter, relax. How am I gonna tell you what your dream means if you can't master yourself?"
Getting reprimanded, Anesha Sari regained her breathing. Until he finally calmed down.
"Now that I have calmed down Take care, whatever it is I will listen with a cold head," said Anesha Sari has returned to being her usual self.
"Something that is farthest in the world is a time that has passed. Even if it just happened, you'll never be able to get back to her."
"Then what does this have to do with my dreams, Take care?!" Anesha Sari does not understand.
"Take it easy, know that Ramanda and Byungdamu have died."
"A-apa—"
So surprised, for a moment Anesha Sari could not continue her words. While Aswangga and Bentar Buana officers were no less shocked.
"Prince Guard, do you really mean what you say?" ask Aswangga.
"Fully, Officer."
Suddenly, Anesha Sari stood up.
"Uncle Aswangga! Uncle Bentar! We're back right now!"
Wuss!
Princess Anesha Sari darted away.
"Prince of Guard, Begawan, everyone forgive us for having to catch up with the Princess immediately!" said Aswangga then chased after Princess Anesha Sari.
"Pamit first, Prince Keep, Begawan Everything!" Bentar Buana also darted away.
***
Keep Saksena breathing out a long breath. He did not say all the meaning of Anesha Sari's dream because he hoped that the girl could restrain herself. But what happened was not as expected. Anesha Sari went straight away.
"Son, take care, you have to go after him. Anesha Sari would be in great danger if not accompanied."
"But Begawan, what about the task of delivering them?" Keep referring to 20 young women who must be delivered back to their families.
"Let me and Sungsang continue. For the coachman, it was a simple matter, I could teach the three of them to become a coachman, or to look for a hired coachman in the village ahead."
"Truly I trouble you, Begawan."
"Don't you take care of me, didn't you teach me that the best of man is useful to other men?!" Begawan Teja Surendra smiled sincerely.
"If so, accept this Begawan." Keep Saksena pulling her gold puck bag.
"No need, Take care of it."
Begawan Teja Surendra pushed back Jaga Saksena's hand. But not after Jaga said, but,
"If you don't need it, use it for the benefit of the person who needs it, Begawan,"
"All right, Take care. I'll keep your trust as I can, In sya Alloh."
Keep Saksena up, then say hello before flashing away.
Give all his speedy running ability, Keep Saksena like flying on the ground. And when entering the area overgrown with dense trees Jaga Saksena darted at the top of the leaves like a flying bird.
'Before dawn, I must catch up with Anesha Sari!' think Take care of Saksena.
The light of the full moon is not intact enough to help their eyesight.
"Uncle Officers, I'll go first!"
Wuss!
Keep Saksena racing without looking.
'It's crazy to run!' heart of Bentar Buana.
Unlike Aswangga when overtaken, the officer felt relieved and worried what exactly happened so Jaga Saksena followed home.
Shortly thereafter, Jaga Saksena was already beside Anesha Sari. This girl can really move like a wind.
Not saying anything, Keep following him up until, like,
"Why are you coming back?!" anesha Sari asked in a voice loud enough to compensate for the wind.
"Aren't I really your future husband?!"
Jaga Saksena's answer is able to make Anesha Sari feel better. At least her future husband is there when she is alone and needs someone to accompany her when her heart is broken like this.
In fact, Anesha Sari did not believe fully in Jaga Saksena's remark that her parents had died. But still his heart is upset and must quickly return while continuing to hope the words Jaga Saksena is not true.
***
The Dawn of Sodiq sign of dawn has appeared on the eastern horizon, just when Jaga Saksena saw there is a transverse river ahead there.
"Daughter, you keep going. I'll pray at dawn in the river ahead!"
"Alright, follow immediately when it's done, take care!"
Jaga Saksena landed on the riverbank, while Anesha Sari continued to dart towards the kingdom of Saindara Gumilang.
Jumping into the rock that pokes in the riverbank water, Keep Saksena take the ablution water perfectly.
After praying, Keep circulating the view looking for a large stone that is quite flat.
'There, it fits!'
Keep jumping and landing on a big rock. Without keeping an eye on the surroundings, the young man immediately began his prayer ritual.
If Jaga Saksena was more sensitive and alert, maybe she would know there was someone who always watched her from afar using a single binocular. It was Raden Bakintal.
"The time I've been waiting for is coming soon. Just waiting for the two officers to pass through. He he he!"
Raden Bakintal who followed Jaga Saksena and his entourage acted cautiously. He did not want any trouble with King Basukamba, so he planned to kill Jaga Saksena without the knowledge of Anesha Sari and two officers.
There are three ways that Raden Bakintal considered. One, wearing a mask and directly hit Jaga Saksena in front of Anesha Sari. But killing Jaga Saksena without her knowing who she was was was extremely unsatisfactory. What Raden Bakintal wants, Keep Saksena know for sure who killed him.
The second way, Raden Bakintal will hire assassins in the kingdom who will be passed by Jaga Saksena's entourage. The assassin will be told by Raden Bakintal only to incapacitate and bring Jaga Saksena to him. Then Raden Bakintal himself will kill him.
The third way, wait Keep Saksena separate from Anesha Sari. Then this is the right time. Because from his scouts all this time, Raden Bakintal knew the ritual of Jaga Saksena at the time of sunrise took quite a long time.
Jaga Saksena had just barely finished praying when two officers flashed across the river.
"We go first, Prince!" yell Aswangga.
Of course Jaga Saksena did not answer, he remained solemn' read sholawat in the final dahyat, then read the prayer before saying greetings to the right and to the left.
Keep Saksena changing her sitting position cross-legged. Now he began to read the wirid that he always read regularly in the after prayer.
Soon, when Jaga Saksena deliberately summarized the wirid and almost finished ....
Rengguk ...!
A huge black shadow resembling a snake head suddenly appeared about to annex its body from the side.
'Inna!'
Spontaneous, Keep Saksena ticking save herself.
Grass!
The black shadow annexed the boulder where Jaga Saksena was sitting there. Desperate caplokan, to turn the hard object into a crumb of tengginang!
A moment later,
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A laugh exploded following the appearance of a black striated-clothed male figure.
'Looks like I know this guy,' Inner Jaga Saksena felt familiar with his laughing face and voice.
"You're pangling me who now looks brawny and younger, Dalit?!" the figure's lips when Jaga watched him carefully.
Called dalit, Jaga Saksena immediately remembered the events 7 years ago. Smiling, Keep Saksena saying,
"Raden Bakintal's. Yeah, I remember you. Didn't I tell you, I didn't kill your son."
"Dalit is good at tongue-licking! As much as you say to cover up your ugliness, so much so increases my confidence that you are the one who killed my son!"
"Wes angel ... Angelo! (It's hard to tell!)"
"You are angel! If you had just given up your life 7 years ago, then you wouldn't have had to feel prolonged guilt!"
"Lho Lho ...! Who feels guilty? I didn't kill your son!"
"The more you deny, the more you feel guilty!"
