Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg
Chapters 130. Blissfulness

The news of Jaga Saksena's return soon spread throughout the palace. So, the tumenggung and the senopati and the officers immediately came to the residence of Princess Anesha Sari. They are all happy especially after being told by Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana that the marriage of Jaga Saksena and Anesha Sari will be accelerated.

Red Swordsman and Begawan Teja Surendra _who heard the news a little late_ came later. Serempak the two hugged Jaga Saksena like a brother who had not met for a long time.

Taking off his embrace, the Red Swordsman said in a loud voice, "I told you already! Keep Saksena not dead!"

"Looks like next time we have to trust you Red Swordsman!" aswangga timpal. And ....

Gerrr ...!

Everyone laughed happily.

The next arrival after the Red Swordsman and Begawan Teja Surendra is the Anesha Sari family led by Prince Trengginas.

"Assalamualaikum wa rohmatullahi wabarokatuh!" exclaimed Trengginas loudly in front of the entrance.

Keep Saksena standing while answering her greetings. Not much different as he welcomed other dignitaries, only this time the young man's face was more carefree and smiled widely.

"Alhamdulillah, the Prince has become my brother?!" tanya Take care of Saksena when Trengginas also hugged her.

Taking off his embrace, Trengginas replied,

"Alhamdulillah, Guard! I'm officially a student. I'll be a hermit following in the footsteps of the teacher. I don't want to be like Kakangda Kama Kumara, thirsty for power so I can kill Ramanda and her two siblings! I'm so glad you're back, sorry if I hugged you too much."

Keep Saksena nodding. Not because of the apology of Trengginas but because it is only beginning to understand why the daughter of Anesha Sari who will be appointed as ruler. Actually Jaga Saksena wanted to ask that from the beginning at Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana or at the royal courtier, he said, it's just that after thinking it doesn't feel good because Jaga feels nobody then it's not worth interfering in the affairs of the kingdom.

"We are brothers and sisters in Islam, we should be familiar, Prince. Thank God, I've taken a shower and worn this decent outfit, hehehe!" Keep Saksena chuckling softly.

"I don't look at someone on their appearance, take care. And thank you for wiping out that belis. Also thank you for bringing the light that illuminates my teacher's heart and now my heart. Since I converted to Islam, my heart has been calmer and more receptive to all these circumstances."

The loud speech of Prince Trengginas was able to attract the attention of all the royal courtiers present as well as his family. They want to ask what Jaga Saksena brought so that it can illuminate the hearts of Begawan Teja Surendra and Prince Trengginas, then what it is to convert to Islam. But fretting prevents them from acting recklessly, so it is better to wait for the right time to ask.

*

The wedding day as well as the inauguration arrived. Since the sun had not yet risen, the square had been filled with citizens.

The soldiers were seen standing guard outside the square and in front of the stage where the wedding rituals would be performed. They also make a path for the bride and groom to pass through the stage later.

Not to forget, the warriors also came. They were seen hanging out on the roof of the building around the square while enjoying drinks.

So enthusiastic and crowded people who came, the banquet that was originally to be held in the square was transferred to the front of the palace. In turn they eat a piece of the stomach by taking it alone or commonly called the inauguration.

"Why is there no wine?"

"She said a folk party?! There's no tuak no parties!"

Some sangar-faced people complained, but did not dare to go further. The magic of Princess Anesha Sari who was able to throw Kama Kumara into the sky and pull the meteor made them wink. Who wants to be thrown into the sky? Falling to the earth could be stale.

The sun rose as the convoy of the bride-to-be from Kaputren entered the stage. Two beautiful women on the right and left.

While the family and the main retainer as well as close friends accompanied in the back.

The Red Swordsman who was in the back of the motorcade seemed to unceasingly spread a smile as if he was the center of attention.

But actually everyone was staring at Princess Anesha Sari who looked very different. Long hair that is usually broken is now replaced by a long white cloth that covers the head to the ends of the hair. His white clothes that looked oversized to the ground touched the stage were slightly fluttered by the morning breeze, adding to his already incredible elegance.

At the same time, the crowd started whispering to the right and left friends, respectively,

"About what ritual to use, Kang?"

"I don't know, Adi. Look no one carries incense let alone fire!"

"Could it be using a much more ancient tradition?!"

"Not really, look at their clothes I've never seen and they're so covered!"

Before going to the pelaminan, the two prospective brides sat down on the stage floor. While all the escorts, they sat splitting on the stage left and right making the two prospective brides in the middle with Prince Trengginas, Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana and Begawan Teja Surendra.

Wiryateja stood on the lip of the stage. Exerting his voice, the fierce-looking man exclaimed,

"Everyone, let's silence our voices! The ritual is about to begin. The ritual will be led by Prince Trengginas, and as the two main witnesses are Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana and Begawan Teja Surendra while others are welcome to witness as an addition!"

Silence no one spoke.

"Before the ritual begins, let's listen to the sound of the voice of the bridegroom, Prince Jaga Saksena," continued Tumenggung Wiryateja then back down and sit down.

"A'udzubillaahi. Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim ...."

Jaga Saksena's dense but also melodious voice made everyone widen their eyes and ears. They started to comment inwardly, though,

'That's great, what's this reading?!'

'A spell I've never heard of! Why does my heart feel touched something ....'

'It's like the wind in the heat of the day!'

Shortly thereafter,

"Shodaqollohul'adhiiim."

Keep Saksena just chanting a few holy verses of the Qur'an, but by flowing the power of the spirit, Jaga's voice was heard by everyone's ears, even to the warriors who were far up on the roof there, to then carry them dissolved in the shahdu of the soul.

Wiryateja stood back up and exclaimed,

"The next ceremony is the ritual that will be brought by Prince Trengginas!"

Prince Trengginas nodded then began to open with a sermon,

"Assalamualaikum wa rahatullahi wa barokatuh. Thank goodness ...."

Again all the people present in the square must be stunned, because they have never heard what the prince said.

Prince Trengginas filled the sermon with a short lecture and then continued the ijab qobul event by shaking the hand of Jaga Saksena.

Starting with two sentences of shahadah, Prince Trengginas then said,

"Brother Keep Saksena. I marry and marry you to my sister Andara Anesha Sari with a hundred gold coins, cash!"

"I accepted her marriage and married Andara Anesha Sari with a mascawine who had been called, cash." Keep Saksena answering the qobul smoothly.

"How's witness? Is it legal?!"

"Well!" patih Sepuh Labda Lawana and Begawan Teja Surendra.

The event was followed by a short prayer also led by Prince Trengginas.

Prince Trengginas, two brides and two witnesses raised their hands, and everyone raised their hands and followed what they said.

"Amand ...! Amen ...! Amen ...!"

The sound of Amen echoing filled the air.

After the prayer, the event was followed by the handover of a dowry in the form of 100 gold pieces. A very small amount for a princess but big for Jaga Saksena.

Now everyone on the stage smiled with relief, especially Prince Trengginas who had to memorize what series he had to say. Even he did not sleep for a day and night to memorize and launch his speech.

Similarly, Keep Saksena so relieved because everything went smoothly. Yesterday Jaga planned to give a dowry in the form of teaching to read the Qur'an to the princess but the Red Swordsman disagreed by saying, "Maybe in Islam it may be, but this is seen by the people. And you seem to forget that there's a rich friend of yours. These 100 gold pieces I give you with a sincere and willing heart. Make it your dowry, take care!"
