Jatukarmas
Chapter 43

The raid led by Raden Nareswara and Commander Warawi to the border of Jenggala - Malawapati, managed to destroy the army of pemandam hidden by the group of Dead Bats.

Prajala fled with some of the leaders of the society. Leaving his ruined men to perish.

The week-long raid then continued to Pasir Hitam college on the south coast. The college which was actually controlled by Commander Narjuman, a former commander of Malawapati who disguised himself as a landlord was destroyed.

The soldiers are in disarray. Lord Narjuman and his son-in-law and besi died on the battlefield at the hands of Naresawara.

The cheers of the victorious troops of the war were heard far away .

Commander Warawi and Raden Nareswara forbade the soldiers from doing any damage along the village they passed. The soldiers were polite . Nothing bothers young girls and women in war-losing areas.

It has expressed sympathy in the hearts of the people. Along the way they bowed respectfully as an army of Panjalu-Daha warriors passed through the village.

At the border of the Daha duchy, the troops split up. Panjalu's troops continued on, while Daha's forces returned to their respective bases.

Nareswara got a leave of absence for a while. His parents urged him to marry the daughter of Panjalu's prime minister, Dyah Harini.

It coincided with the presence of Bagawan Wistara, Surya Kencana and Citrawani in Daha. Their arrival was welcomed and excited.

After the welcoming ritual was completed, Bagawan Wistara invited his sister and brother-in-law to speak six eyes in a closed room, to talk about something important.

Citrawani happily conversed with her sisters, accompanied by Surya Kencana.

"So your wedding will be in a few months, Nares?" citrawani Goda.

"I know Dyah Harini. She's a pretty, shy girl. Brother can't imagine, my quiet sister met the shy Harini . " Citra added.

"Religion .." Nareswara really blushed in embarrassment. His cheeks meet dice.

"Duh, sister. Don't tease Nares anymore." said Wasanti pity. "Look at her face until it's so red."

"A mighty commander who kills many enemies on the battlefield, but whose heart is shy..." Citra Kartika still teases her sister. "Duh, duh. But it's okay Nares, shy men are the hallmarks of loyal men. How lucky Diah Harini to get you as a husband later."

When the three Daha princesses tease their only brother. In a closed room, Resi Wistara conferred with the Duke of Daha and Dewi Borawati.

The eyes of Dewi Borawati reddened due to the prolonged trail of crying. Duke Daha.

"For the sake of uniting the two kingdoms of ancestral heritage, we must be willing to reveal the true reality ! " The Bagawan Wistara.

"So the marriage of Nanda Surya Kencana with Galuh Citrawani, Nareswara with Diah Harini, Galuh Wasanti with Panji Wicaksana will be carried out at the same time, after all this business is done."

Lastly mentioned, the Wicaksana Banner was the recently appointed Duke of Madhura, succeeding his father who died on the battlefield.

"Can't this marriage take place without having a conversation with Jenggala, Kanda Bhagawan?" muttered Dewi Borawati sad .

"This fact should be known to them. That the destiny of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi can not be avoided, even though as hard as they try the duratmaka (traitors) to hide and twist the truth !"

"The wolf for too long was gripped by Queen Litu, supported by the leftist Bhairawa Kalachakra sect. It is time we re-align the wheels of government according to the line of ancestral tribes Isyana. Do not let the dark ages of our ancestors, sinuhun Hyang Bhatara Shri Paduka Airlangga who was damaged by Rangda Walunateng Dirah, repeated again by Queen Liku and her sect !"

Grinding fur kuduk Dewi Borawati. The story of Rangda Dirah has often been told by people since long ago.

Rangda walunata ing Dirah (Dowager ruler in Dirah) or more popularly called Rangda Dirah is the mother of Ratna Manggali .

Rangda Dirah is heartbroken that her daughter's marriage to Shri Paduka Airlangga has been cancelled.

Her beautiful single daughter was unequalled in the entire kingdom. Who have good and noble conduct. Cancelled to become empress, simply because of rumors about the magic of the mother's black magic.

Rangda Dirah's wrath is the wrath of a mother. The wrath of a queen of the Bhairawa sect.

As a desti terangjana (high-level black magic that is quite sent with the eyes), easily Rangda Dirah spread disease outbreaks throughout the kingdom.

The outbreak subsided when Shri Paduka Airlangga received the advice of Mpu Baradah to apply for Ratna Manggali. The beautiful girl was married to Mpu Bahula, the beloved disciple .

Dewi Borawati nodded her head.

"Alright, kanda. If indeed this is best for our kingdom and people, lascarya servant ..."

"Thank you, Dinda. May Ida Sang Hyang Widhi bless us all. " Bagawan Wistara smiled.

"Call the four sons of Daha's daughter here" said the Bagawan to a servant.

Some time later, the four sons and daughters of Duke Daha appeared with faces full of question marks.

What's the matter? So about Galuh Mayani's facial cue to her twin that was cut off by raising both eyebrows.

"You must be wondering why you were called here." said the Duke of Daha.

"Yes, Ayahanda. What is it ?" The most anxious Mayani every called facing, asked politely .

"My kids, you're all grown up. It is time for you to move on to the next stage of life, namely grahasta, the stage of building a household," Bagawan Wistara smiled.

"The Nareswara nanda was betrothed to Diah Harini, and the Wasanti nanda was betrothed to the Wicaksana Panji. And to nanda Citrawani ..."

Bagawan Wistara turned his gaze to Citra who had been looking down since. The girl raised her head for a moment, looking at her Father Bagawan with a questioning look.

"Partner, maybe nanda does not know, but destiny is never wrong. Jatukarma nanda is Raden Surya Kencana which has been outlined to unite the kingdom of Janggala and Panjalu."

"??"

A thousand question marks bloomed in the minds of the young man. Wasanti and Mayani looked at each other, as did Nareswara and Citrawani.

"How come, Romo? Elder sister

is the daughter of Daha, not the daughter of Jenggala. "said Nareswara doubtfully.

Citrawani himself frowned in confusion.

"Well, this is something that has been closed tightly and would never have been opened to the public, if not for the peace of the whole people."

The Bagawan let out a long breath.

"I'm sorry if we've covered this up. Nanda Citrawani, you are indeed the daughter of Jenggala. The real daughter of Jenggala, who was born Galuh Kalyana Candradewi... "

If there was lightning striking in the sky at once, perhaps Citra and her four siblings would not be this shocked.

"Daughter..daughter of Jenggala ?" gumam Citra Kartika's.

'Oh, please, let alone this. It's not enough to go back in time and be Daha's daughter. Now it is said to be the daughter of Jenggala what so ever lah.' luh bathin Citra Kartika.

"Wolf Princess?" repeat Nareswara no less surprised.

Begawan Wistara nodded.

Duke Daha clasped the hand of the wife who began to shed tears.

"Yahujana...Mother ..is this true?" ask Citrawani with stoic .

Both of his parents nodded without speaking.

"Let Romo repeat the story of the past. You sit down and listen carefully..."
