Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg
Chapter 92. The Cunning of King Basukamba

In front of the room, Kama Kumara who heard thunderous screams in the sky immediately ran to find a place to be able to see the source of the sound.

How surprised Kama Kumara when his eyes vaguely recognize the person standing on the highest roof of the main joglo pendopo.

"Jaga Saksena?!"

Scattered with molar teeth Kama Kumara, her heart grew hot burning did not like to see the power of others who he considered despicable, dalit.

"And in fact you are now a weakling, Kama Kumara! As for Jaga Saksena, look, lightning alone is incapable of killing her!"

The voice without likeness is getting hotter Kama Kumara.

"Make me a strong warrior! Make me a truly unparalleled person now!" yell Kama Kumara.

"Nothing is free, Kama Kumara!"

"I'll pay you! How much you ask!!"

"Haha! If so, come with me I will guide you!"

At the same time as Kama Kumara started screaming for strength, Lembayung Adiningrum who saw her husband from afar muttered,

"What is my husband doing? Talk to who?!"

Lembayung Adiningrum slowly approached to further observe. And really beyond belief, Kama Kumara was actually talking to herself even screaming. Fortunately, the rain of thunderstorms disguised his voice so that it did not sound the courtiers or guard soldiers.

And even more surprised when Lembayung Adiningrum saw her husband suddenly running through heavy rain.

"Suamiuuu ...!" lembayung Adiningrum shouted about to catch up, but the lightning strike in the air made the woman slacken her steps.

"Where is he going? Why did he break through the storm. Who was she talking to?" Lembayung Adiningrum muttered to himself as she looked around, trying to find someone who might have just talked to her husband.

Not finding anyone, Lembayung Adiningrum suddenly felt his hair standing on end.

Keep Saksena still standing on the highest roof of the main joglo pendopo, constantly challenging lightning to strike her again and again. Until finally the lightning was lackluster, no longer reluctant to start.

Not only did the lightning decrease in strength, but also the dense clouds in space began to thin. Along with that, the rain began to shrink as well as the wind.

"Come sambar me again!" shout Keep Saksena challenging the lightning so that she can absorb her energy.

But there is no more snaps. Simultaneously, the black clouds that were lingering in the sky completely disappeared, the rain came to a complete stop.

"Eh, why are the black clouds disappearing?" Keep Saksena dizzy circulating the view into the sky that has turned bright. Keep it more focused to absorb lightning energy so less attention to black clouds in space.

'Because I haven't prayed to stop the rain, I'm too cool to absorb the power of lightning but why does it stop so quickly?' Feeling an anomaly, Keep Saksena asking inwardly.

"Well, why should I think about this. I better be grateful. Alhamdulillah ... Alhamdulillahot. Maturnuwun Gusti Your gift today is truly extraordinary."

After saying it himself, Keep Saksena darting to the lower roof frame before landing on the watery ground.

Sungsang who had long stalked his best friend was immediately greeted with a burst of praise,

"Excellent Take care. I really want to be your teacher's student. Meet me with him so that I too will be given lightning immunity like you!"

"Easy!" kaga Saksena replied.

"I'm serious, Prince Keep Saksena!!"

"Lha, I'm a duaratus rius! But there are conditions!"

"So tell me!" sergeant Sungsang Gumilang. However,

"Are you okay?!"

The cry of a melodious sound accompanied by a fragrant aroma ripped through the nose of Jaga Saksena and Sungsang. Who else if not Princess Anesha Sari who came rushing towards Jaga Saksena.

'This mediocre comes at the wrong time, why does he always stick to Jaga?! Though from good looks is no different from me!' grunts Sungsang Gumilang.

Anesha Sari who was about to hold Jaga Saksena's hand had to hold the empty air because the young man first took two steps back.

"Married?! What's that?!"

"Married simply is a bond that makes us a married couple."

"Only the touch of a hand should be husband and wife first?"

"That is the rule in Islam. Unless we're mahrom."

"What's that about?" Anesha Sari scrunched her clear forehead.

"Mahrom is all those who are forbidden to marry because of heredity, infidelity and marriage." Keep answering briefly in general, without explaining the eternal mahrom (mahrom muabbad) and temporary (mahrom muaqqot).

"So ...?" Anesha Sari is confused.

"Next ...."

When Jaga Saksena began to explain, Sungsang Gumilang also acted strangely.

Plok! Plok!

"I am the exorcist nyamuuuuk ...!"

The cessation of the storm made the people of the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang out of the house in a crowd. They drain the clogged water. Spreading the water out of the royal walls also removed the trees that were scorched by lightning.

The damaged houses began to be repaired in a row. Guyub worked together.

By working together, gotong-royong, the heavy work becomes light.

While working, the community talked about the incident just now. So the story of Jaga Saksena who had shouted lightning until he fled immediately spread from mouth to mouth. Not only was the lightning blurred, but the rain and windstorm stopped.

Of the many titles given to Jaga Saksena, finally the people of the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang prefer if Jaga Saksena is named Pendekar Peniup Bledeg.

This title is exhaled, spoken from one storyteller to another so that it propagates quickly. It was as fast as a fire burning dry wood.

When the sun sank in the western horizon, almost everyone had heard of the short title Jaga Saksena, the Swordsman of Bledeg Blowers!

****

King Basukamba wants to scratch his head that does not itch, if he is not a king then he has done since. How not, he wanted to rejoice because the disaster had passed, but he also objected and was sad if he had to pay Jaga Saksena as much as 40,000 gold pieces. A very large number for a kingdom that has never conquered another kingdom. Moreover, conquering other kingdoms, Saindara Gumilang conquered the village outside the royal walls alone never before.

This is what makes King Basukamba until evening has not called or met Jaga Saksena.

When the thunderstorm and wind disappeared, instead of calling Jaga Saksena, Raja Basukamba invited Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana to complain in his private room.

And unexpectedly, despite hearing various reasons for the king's objection to pay forty thousand pieces of gold to Jaga Saksena, Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana still advised the king to pay it.

Suddenly, it feels like King Basukamba expelled the patih violently. But the patih has served since long since sincerely even since the previous king, even though King Basukamba could only exorcise him subtly,

"You must be tired, Patih Sepuh. Go home to your family, they must be worried about you."

After the death of the patih, King Basukamba continued to think about how he could not lose the gold pieces. It is okay to lose fifty female slaves, after all he felt he did not have all because he had just moved. But the gold piece,

'Oh really can't if it's that much!' jerit Napsu the Worldliness of the King.

I don't know how many times the King went back and forth in his personal space, until when the night began to creep suddenly King Basukamba found a very extraordinary idea.

"Haha! I am a clever king!"

King Basukamba laughed loudly because he could make sure his plan would work!
