Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg
Chapter 93. Raja Basukamba Runs His Strategy

The next day, King Basukamba sent an officer to call Jaga Saksena to his private quarters.

Of course the officer was astonished, many had contributed to the kingdom, many had pitted their lives for the kingdom, but to be invited to the king in a private room was only a dream. Because, this shows a great closeness to the king.

'What a lucky Den Keep Saksena!' the inner officer rushed to the guest house of the young man's residence.

The friendly greeting and familiar greeting from Jaga Saksena made the officer feel no distance. But he was very sad because the young man was so close to the king.

Not only is it friendly and full of familiarity. Along the way to the king's private room, Jaga Saksena asked the officer to walk beside her, parallel without being accompanied.

Jaga Saksena also invited the officer to have a light chat as a friend,

"Perwira Sadajiwa, if you are free, visit. We usually enjoy a warm wedang together in the morning."

"As before, along with Begawan Teja Surendra, Den Jaga?!" surprised by the officer.

Earlier, when Officer Sadajiwa visited the residence of Jaga Saksena, the young man was talking with Begawan Teja Surendra and Pendekar Merah.

"Yes, come once in a while" replied Keep it light.

"Frankly, Den Jaga. I'm not a smart officer. I can become an officer because of persistence and loyalty. What if I had a conversation with Den Jaga and Begawan Teja Surendra who is a scholar?" Sadaji poured out his heart to make Jaga Saksena suddenly stop.

At that moment Sadajiri stopped.

Keep Saksena saying softly,

"Man has a conscience. Use your heart then that's enough and may you get some good."

"Thank you, Den Take care. I'm really glad I got to know you more closely."

"Together, come."

The two continued their journey through the main pendopo which was being repaired by the construction rakyan and his subordinates. Rakyan construction appears to be standing on a roof that has been damaged ordering some parts to be removed so that they can be replaced completely.

When passing by the artisans who were at the bottom, Jaga Saksena smiled kindly and greeted, saying hello,

"Excite, Uncle!"

"Eh Den Jaga, Swordsman Blowers Bledeg. Finally, you can see the Jaga Den up close!" exclaimed one of the builders who recognized Jaga Saksena.

"O Uncle Betul, I'll take care of Saksena. But Swordsman Bledeg Blowers, who is uncle?!" Keep Saksena stop for just being suave.

"People dub Den Jaga with the title Swordsman Bledeg Blowers. I see, Den."

"Oh, he he he. Could be those guys. Please continue the work, Uncle All. Excuse me ...."

Just a mild greeting but make them happy, instill a taste in the hearts of the craftsmen that Jaga Saksena is a friendly and mixed, do not feel jumawa despite being a hero of the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang.

The Sadaji officer who observed the attitude of Jaga Saksena to artisans felt a little embarrassed, because he sometimes always applied the behavior of the carrier to people of lower rank especially to ordinary people.

'Den Keep that close to the king alone is this kind of friendly, but I .. It seems like I have to change!' batin Sadaji nodded when he left the artisans.

After the death of Jaga Saksena and Officer Sadajiwa, the artisans also commented,

"Sakti but not high-hearted!"

"Still young and have a position, but not jumawa!"

"Who are you praising?!" ask one of the builders.

"Who else if not Den Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg, Tirtaaa!"

The one named Tirta grinnedly showed his yellowed teeth and then said,

"Aren't your children one and a girl, Tirrrrr?!" sergeant buddy on the right.

"Oh yes ... If so I will make another son!"

"Make, make ... your bald!" gojlok friend on the left.

"Haha!" They laughed together and continued the work that had stopped due to the arrival of Jaga Saksena.

Arriving at the king's private room, it turns out that King Basukamba has been waiting. This further makes Officer Sadajiwa astonished.

'Crazy ones! This is crazy, Den Jaga Saksena awaited by His Majesty King Basukamba!! I have to visit Den Jaga if I get the chance!' squealed the heart of Officer Sadaji before retreating regularly close the door and leave the king's private room.

As far as Sadaji, there has never been someone who was awaited by King Basukamba. The one who is called to face will wait first and the king will enter the room to meet him.

After the death of Officer Sadajiwa, King Basukamba invited Jaga Saksena to sit down and began to open a conversation.

"Jaga Saksena, the other day you wanted to make my daughter Anesha Sari a wife, didn't you?! I approve!"

The eyes of Jaga Saksena slightly widened, not expecting King Basukamba will go straight to the point of the problem.

If Jaga Saksena knew, what King Basukamba just said was not a staple because there was still more important. At least more important according to the king.

"But you must know the customs in this kingdom," continued the king smiling and then silently waiting for Jaga Saksena's response.

"Thank You, Your Majesty, for Your Majesty's blessing. But apologize, what custom does Your Majesty mean?!" tanya Keep Saksena not understand.

The question that made King Basukamba smile triumphantly.

"Next ...."

King Basukamba explained the custom in the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang that a man who wants to edit a girl must pay a pitukon (mahar_pen) set by the ramanda or the girl's parents.

"You know, Anesha Sari is a princess?!"

"Know, Your Majesty the King."

"The determination of this pitukon is based on the rank of a girl. The higher the rank the more expensive. Are you willing, take care of Saksena?!"

Keep Saksena smiling, thinking she still has forty thousand gold pieces on the king. It can be used as a pitukon.

"Ready, Your Majesty the King!"

'Because of you!' king Basukamba exclaimed with a triumphant smile and said,

"Because I know you're a homeless man, you can give a pitukon a hundred thousand pieces of gold."

Hearing the king's words, Jaga Saksena almost fell with the chair she was sitting on, so shocked. How not! First King Basukamba already knew himself a batangkara and had no home. But that's not much of a shock compared to the second thing. Namely, already know himself as strangkara and homeless, instead ask pitukon a hundred thousand pieces of gold.

Seeing Jaga Saksena shocked to the point that she almost fell down with her seat, King Basukamba increasingly felt victorious, flying in the wind.

Still smiling, King Basukamba brought the body closer by leaning forward to speak in a wise voice,

"Relax Take care of Saksena, you don't have to worry. Your gift is still to me, and that as the initial payment, the shortcomings follow!"

Keep Saksena taking a deep breath before exhaling with irritability.

"You can't back off, keep Saksena. A man is held from his speech. Abstinence from licking your own saliva!" Raja Basukamba pressed with authoritative speech, for fear Jaga Saksena will retreat regularly due to not being able to pay. It was seen from Jaga who took a long breath and exhaled very slowly as if he did not want to be heard by anyone.
