"This Is How to Keep ...."
After everything sat down, Begawan Teja Surendra began to recount the complaints of Yoga Mandala. More precisely the complaints of concubines and empresses.
"According to Sanak Jaga, what should the concubines and empresses do to overcome this?!" begawan Teja Surendra.
Keep Saksena speechless, inward, 'This matter, complicated brought here. Me, not even one wife has.'
"Oh yes, where did the slaves come from, Prince Yoga?" tanya Jaga Saksena because she remembered the female slaves in the Slave Hunter Group Hall.
"I don't know for sure, but what I heard ...." Yoga Mandala replied with details that the slaves were obtained from the court of the late Asta Brajadaka who came from the Center of the Slave Hunter Group.
'Alhamdulillah .. If so, I should try to help them, not the empress and concubines.'
And so finally Jaga Saksena said,
"All right, Prince Yoga Mandala. Tell Your Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Concubines to calm your heart and mind. Tomorrow I will try to help settle this matter by meeting His Majesty King Basukamba."
Hearing the ability to keep Saksena to help, Yoga Mandala is not sure. Even by facing the king, it could be the empress and concubines would be hit by the king.
Worry Jaga will fail and will most likely add to the problem, Yoga Mandala said with great earnestness,
"But please Prince Jaga don't carry the names of Byungda the Empress and Byungda the Concubine. Because they want this as if it's not from them,"
"Of course, don't worry about that."
Yoga Mandala briefly smiled wryly then said thanks to Begawan Teja Surendra and Jaga Saksena then glanced at Sungsang who slept chicken.
"We retreat first, Begawan, Prince ...!"
Before exiting the door Yoga Mandala paused for a moment and again asked, "Please do not let this talk leak out, Begawan, Prince."
Begawan Teja Surendra just nodded, while Jaga Saksena replied,
"God willing."
Answers that make Yoga Mandala frown.
"Yes, I mean," Keep Saksena up to the word, "we'll keep this matter a secret."
After the death of Prince Yoga Mandala and his aide,
"Dude!" Sungsang jumped up from his sleep and approached. "The slaves have been found?! Then how will you free them from the king's grip?! What are you going to do?! It's not a light matter, it's related to the king. And remember, if you take a wrong step it could even make you fail to become a son-in-law!"
Getting questions and suggestions repeatedly, Jaga Saksena just smiled and said lightly, saying,
"Think of that later, it's time to learn."
***
Early in the day, the thunderstorm was still going on. Keep Saksena deliberately wake up to perform four prayers of prayer. After the greeting, Keep not moving from sitting, even the right toe is still pointed on the floor.
Using the fingers of the right and left hand as a counting device, Keep starting to say sentences, and,
"Yes Hayyu Ya Qoyyum birohmatika astaghitsu."
The young man called two asthmas. The first Asthma means the Most Alive, Everlasting Gusti Alloh. It has no beginning and no end. Gusti Alloh is different from his creature. While the second asthma that is Alqoyyum means Gusti Alloh Maha Stand Alone, do not need help, it is humans and all other creatures' who need His help.
As for the phrase birohmatika astaghitsu; with Your love I ask for help.
Calmly and presenting the heart, Jaga Saksena continued to say this sentence until dawn.
***
The rainy morning was accompanied by lightning that struck. If it had not been covered by the clouds, its oceanic sun would have been seen rising in the eastern sky.
Armed with the belief that Gusti Alloh will help him, Jaga Saksena plans to face the King right now, because the rain seems to still be long.
"Where might the king grant your request, Jaga?!" sungsang said, Keep saying goodbye to him to go to the king with the aim of asking women slaves to be released.
"There is no will except the will of Gusti Alloh." Keep Saksena answering lightly before opening the door.
"I'm coming with you! Aren't you the prince I should be escorting?!"
"The lie will demand another lie. Don't you spread lies, Breech."
"Who's lying?!"
"You, call me prince and you claim to be my guardian. Is that not a lie?!"
"Yes, I'll make you a prince. And you made me a tower (ajudan_pen)!"
"Hemmm .. It seems like Anesha Sari's suspicion has a point," Jaga Saksena muttered and then darted out of the house through the heavy rain no matter Sungsang.
Yesterday Anesha Sari questioned whether Sungsang is sometimes crazy. Of course it is a suspicion based on signs that are clearly visible to the eye.
"Woii Prince! I'm coming!!" Sungsang also darted after Jaga Saksena through the thick rain of windy lightning.
***
Arriving at the king's palace, Jaga Saksena followed by Sungsang immediately asked to face.
As a hero and guest of honor, Jaga Saksena's request was immediately conveyed to King Basukamba.
"Have Jaga Saksena face me in the grand pasowanan room (great meeting room_pen)!" the king's word to the reporting officer.
It was already noon when Jaga Saksena managed to face the king.
In front of the king, Jaga Saksena immediately expressed his purpose straightforwardly and without hesitation aling-aling because he was sure Gusti Alloh would help him because last night Jaga had asked for thousands of times for help on Him.
Hearing Jaga Saksena's request, the King got up from his throne and walked slowly closer.
"No, Your Majesty the King."
"They're the chosen slaves. One woman is worth at least two hundred gold pieces. That meant that their price was no less than ten thousand gold pieces!"
Hearing King Basukamba calculate the price of the female slaves, Sungsang Gumilang glared in shock.
But not with Jaga Saksena, without changing expression, Jaga said, saying,
"I'll pay for it one day, Your Majesty the King. Consider this my debt to His Majesty the King."
"Ha ha ha ha!" King Basukamba laughed and approached, putting his right hand on the young man's forehead.
"You're not sick or have a fever, are you, Take care of Saksena?!" asked the King still sticking his right palm.
"Talem sane with body and soul, Your Majesty the King."
Pulling his hand, King Basukamba asked,
"Then why do you want to set them free?! If you ask them to be your slaves, satisfy your young blood, I understand. But this?!"
King Basukamba did not understand the way of the young man before him. Really don't understand.
"Liberating slaves is a suggestion from Gusti Alloh."
"Gusti Alloh?! Who's He?!"
"He created the heavens of the earth. He is the Most Loving and Most Loving of all mankind and of His creation."
"Oh, Trimurti?"
"Allah there is no ally to Him. He is One, One, One."
Getting answers Jaga Saksena who is full of confidence and steadiness, Raja Basukamba interested.
However, when the king was about to ask again, Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana asked to face.
"Hamba wants to report to His Majesty the King." Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana asked permission.
"Please Coach a Cousin!"
"Rain thunderstorms and wind ...."
Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana reported that thunderstorms and winds had partially damaged the building and uprooted tall trees. Outside the palace walls there has been a flood even water began to inundate the area inside the wall to the palace. This is due to the land inside the palace walls more than the land outside the palace walls.
"If this rain lasts longer, it could be not just a flood but a great disaster will happen, Your Majesty the King!" patih Sepuh Labda Lawana.
"Have you told the palace's rain handler to move this rain, Patih Sepuh?!"
"It's not just the palace charmer, Your Majesty the King. But all the chargers. And there's no result!"
"Let's Biyuuung! What else is this!"
King Basukamba walked to his throne and sat down to press his head which began to feel throbbing pain. Just escaped the attack of the Kenabala Valley Tribe and Sundara Watu rebellion now even the kingdom was attacked by disaster.
Seeing the king pressing his head, Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana said to Jaga Saksena.
"Den Take care, can you help us this time?!"
The question was loud enough to be heard by the ears of King Basukamba.
"You're right Patih Sepuh!" exclaiming King Basukamba again rose from his throne approached to Jaga Saksena and said, saying,
"Let's go, take care of Saksena. Your request will be granted. But you got rid of that thunderstorm and the goddamn wind!"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King. The damage caused by the thunderstorm rain and the wind, according to my count will at least inflict a loss above a hundred thousand gold pieces."
"You—"
King Basukamba's throat was blocked by Jaga Saksena's intelligence.
"Didn't His Majesty the King teach me to count?!" Keep Saksena smiling thinly.
King Basukamba returned to his throne feeling arrogant, he began to regret because it was counting the price of female slaves. If he immediately granted Jaga's request, it is certain that his request to the young man would be directly approved by the young man.
At the same time, Sungsang Gumilang had to hold his breath. Didn't expect Jaga Saksena would dare to bargain with the king. While Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana should listen more because it does not understand the direction of the conversation Jaga Saksena and Raja Basukamba.
"All right, we're doing the buying and selling!" king Basukamba exclaimed from the top of the throne no less booming than lightning in space.
"Next ...."
King Basukamba went on to calculate the damage that had already been done to be reduced to a hundred thousand pieces. Then I found fifty thousand pieces.
Fifty thousand pieces minus the price of the female slaves then the remaining forty thousand pieces.
"Firty thousand gold pieces can buy anything including a human head! So, stop this fucking disaster, I'll give you 40,000 pieces. But if you fail, then I'll have your head chopped off!"
Glaarrr!
Along with the end of the King's decree, there was an explosion on the top of the roof, apparently a large lightning bolt had struck him.
"Dragon, you don't mess around!" whispered Sungsang Gumilang before Jaga asserted the decree of King Basukamba. "We can find a way out again sometime in the day!!" continued Sungsang hope Jaga does not approve crazy buying and selling from the king.
However,
"Sendiko dawuh, Your Majesty the King!"
With great steadiness, Jaga Saksena accepted King Basukamba's offer.
