Jatukarmas
Chapter 30

"alright. I know somewhere not far from here !"

Raden Surya Kencana brought Citra Kartika to the ruins of an ancient temple. The temple is located on the edge of the forest, under a hill and close to a vast expanse of rice fields.

There Citra Kartika tells all her stories, from the beginning she was kidnapped to her story eavesdropping on secrets at the diner.

For almost two hours Citra Kartika said, Raden Surya Kencana was always tense. Sometimes he clenched his palms. Sometimes he takes a deep breath.

When Citra finally finished telling the story, Raden Surya Kencana shook his head.

"So it's been for six full moons that you escaped and miserably crossed the outside but didn't go back to Daha or Panjalu? " repeat Surya Kencana.

Citra Kartika nodded with a mischievous look.

"Basic brat ! "

"I just want to be free, brother. I don't want to live in a golden cage anymore like in Panjalu !"

"Eh, bad boy, listen to your brother tell me !" With the dongkol Raden Surya Kencana clawed Citra Kartika .

Now he was the one who told me about the situation in the Panjalu palace.

"As for you know, Galuh Sundari has been brought home by both her parents and her brother !"

"Huh?" Citra Kartika.

"But why Brother? Didn't he and Kanda Suryapaksi love each other?"

Raden Surya Kencana smiled obliquely.

"Love? Love is only one-sided, where can it be called love? It's called clapping one hand."

" But Kanda Suryapaksi marries and spoils Galuh Sundari, is that not love?" Kartika's image was astonished.

"I heard from Nares, you in Daha once treated Adi Suryapaksi from a black magic attack. From there you should understand, sister, what befell Suryapaksi."

"Ooh.the black magic. So, the love of Kanda Suryapaksi to Galuh Sundari was also due to the influence of black magic?"

" Well that's the way it is .."

Raden Suryapaksi said that a few months after Raden Suryapaksi performed yasa on the mountain, Galuh Sundari was picked up by his parents.

They returned to Jenggala with anger, feeling that their daughter had been abandoned and wasted.

Since then, the relationship between Jenggala and Panjalu has warmed.

"That's it, sister. You feel good to travel, Suryapaksi is also good to live in the mountains. I'm busy taking care of the people!" grutu Surya Kencana's.

"Then why are you wandering around this faraway village today, brother?" citra Cibir .

"I got word from the coders that there were several points suspected of being rebel nests. One of them is the city of M. That's why I came here."

"The competition conducted by Mr. Narjuman does not seem to be an ordinary competition, brother !"

"I also have a hunch so, sister. It seems like this competition is a veiled cover to gather their heroes without being sniffed by the kingdom !"

"Then we'll keep an eye on this competition."

"Sure !"

"And tonight we must prevent the murder of Harya Wisanggeni ."

"Alright, sister. But now my stomach is hungry. I want to eat ! Let's find the nearest restaurant !"

That was the morning until noon they were together. After finishing eating, Citra found lodging for her cousin's sister, not far from her inn.

"Eh, by the way, your disguise of being a rivet girl can be too. Your face is completely different. Your voice-changing technique is also very good. Sometimes teach me this disguise technique huh ?" surya Kencana .

"The farmer can also do this, Brother ! Just even though the caping is closed, your face does not change, it still looks the same b.o.d.o.o.h." joked Citra.

Laughter they broke .

That night, after successfully saving Wisanggeni's life, they all decided to stay together. To help each other and to take care of each other.

Take turns to stand outside the tent.

Citra dispenses a packet of warm herbal drinks which it then brews and dispenses to all who get a turn to watch.

That night Citra and Surya Kencana discussed their next plans with Harya Wisanggeni.

While four soldiers were still patrolling around their tent.

That night was a pretty strange event.

Likewise Citra and Surya Kencana are still standing guard in front of the bonfire.

The wind is blowing cold. There was a howl of a coyote from a distance, upholding my fur.

The sounds of night animals like crickets and frogs, suddenly quiet.

The four of them were walking behind the tent, tofu goosebumps .

Their Netra caught a few flashpoints in the distance.

The flame quickly drifted towards the camp and the fire grew, with a long tail of fire.

"Geez..what's that?" the soldiers shouted in shock.

Their cries were heard by Surya Kencana and Citra Kartika .

Feeling that something was amiss, the two men rushed to the soldiers behind the tent.

There were several flames snatching from the distance, and in the blink of an eye burst out behind the tent.

Surya Kencana immediately told the patrons to sit quietly near the bonfire.

He himself then went around encircling the camp. Creating an occult delimiter.

"What's this, Raden? " Harya Wisanggeni who heard the commotion, immediately woke up and exited the tent.

"There was a magical attack. You go back to sleep, Wisanggeni. Let your wound not be inflamed. Let Raden Surya Kencana and I handle all this !"

"Oh!" Harya Wisanggeni was shocked. "Se.. supernatural attack?"

"Yes, the black magic attack sent through the air. You calm down, with Hyang Widhi's permission, we can definitely handle it !"

Where is it possible that Hujunggaluh nobleman could sleep .

A whole new lifetime this time he saw the black magic attack with his own eyes .

With a thumping chest, Wisanggeni sat cross-legged with four soldiers near the bonfire. The bodies of the four soldiers trembled. They never falter when faced with an enemy attack..

But this explosive fire attack, it was only this time that they witnessed it !

After being fenced off by Surya Kencana, the flames that came burst outside the circle, a bit away from the tent collection.

Surya Kencana said to Citra Kartika.

" Sister, you stay here huh. You guard this camp. Sit quietly, then do the opening of the chakras as Nares taught you. After that let the resplendent light of Hyang Widhi protect you and this whole camp !"

"Good !"

Citra Kartika does everything her cousin taught her. He sat quietly, closed his eyes, then focused all his attention on his chakras.

A resplendent light began to enter his crown. The image feels a feeling of warmth, protection and comfort. Letting her warm feelings envelop her whole self.

Then from the bottom of his heart he prayed to Hyang Widhi to protect the entire camp. Then suddenly a bright light emanated out of him and spread across the whole camp.

No one could see the bright light except for the Kartika image.

And Raden Surya Kencana.

Sitting and closing his eyes, Raden Surya Kencana opened a relationship of submission to the Almighty, the Almighty.

Moments later, the fire attacks were reduced, and then stopped completely .

Then Citra Kartika was told to rest, and Surya Kencana accompanied the soldiers to continue guarding.

The preparations for Mr. Narjuman's contest have been completed. The stage was quite spacious, built in a square that was the private property of the Narjuman family.

In front of the stage was built seating for the audience. While behind the stage were built makeshift cottages of wood and bamboo for guests who needed lodging.

Although the cottage looks simple from the outside, but the inside is quite comfortable with wooden floors and soft mattresses.

The lodges were very numerous and almost filled half of the square's spacious grounds, most of which had been filled by invited guests.

The great competition will be held in three days, and Mr. Narjuman has been busy welcoming important guests who have arrived in his city.
