Jatukarmas
Chapter 48

Galuh Citrawani was brought to the palace of Panjalu as queen Raden Surya Kencana. Once again they performed the wedding ceremony at the Panjalu palace, along with the couple Nareswara - Harini and Wasanti - Panji Wicaksana.

Dewi Sekarwangi and Prabu Jayengrana did not accompany them to Panjalu. The presence of both parents was represented by Bagus Saksena, Ragaparna and several ministers.

Once again Raden Bagus Saksena ushered his sister to become Ardanareswari Panjalu.

He used to deliver Galuh Sundari. But his sister was not a true jatukarma to be Ardanareswari.

After the frenetic luxury event was completed. Nice Saksena facing Prabu Aryaiswara.

Inside the room saw Bagawan Wistara sitting with his shady smile .

"The purpose of the servant facing the king's majesty is to confess all the sins that the servant has ever committed" said Bagus Saksena.

He took out a box made of black iron wood that looked very sturdy. He presented the box to King Panjalu.

"What is this, nanda Bagus Saksena?" asked Prabu Aryaiswara while cradling a box that felt quite heavy.

"Paduka, it's Ki Jagasatru's heirloom keris and the symbol of Ganesha Gold that I've stolen."

"Well?!?!"

Prabu Aryaiswara was shocked.

Bagawan Wistara stared at Bagus Saksena while still smiling.

Nice Saksena just ducked with eyes fixed calm. He was ready to take responsibility for all his actions.

Prabu Aryaiswara handed the box over to Bagawan Wistara . The brahmin opened the box carefully, then examined the two objects stored there .

A keris is made of black nine-pointed star steel stone, with a handle made of sandalwood decorated with a soft glowing white gem at the end. That's the legendary Ki Jagasatru keris.

The second object is a statue of Ganesha of gold with fine sculptures. The statue of the royal symbol that has been passed down through generations since their ancestor Paduka Bhatara Shri Samarawijaya.

"These are indeed two long-lost royal heirlooms. This treasure is very closely guarded. How did Nanda steal it?" ask Bagawan Wistara.

"Hamba sent a famous Corah to steal it. But the pattern is gone now."

"Hiding a royal heirloom is a grave sin. Is Nanda ready for all the risks?"

"The servant never thought of sin, for the heart and mind of the servant were darkened by the greedy lust for power. But now I have realized, destiny will never be wrong, rights and obligations go in the same direction" said Bagus Saksena.

"Now two heirlooms have returned to the rightful, and the servant is also ready to receive punishment !" the young man said firmly .

Prabu Aryaiswara views with Bagawan Wistara . Prabu Aryaiswara nodded his head, greeted by a distinctive smile of the brahmin.

"Nanda, since Nanda was ready to be punished, the sentence was twofold. The first is. married to one of the palace princess Panjalu."

Good Saksena raised her face in shock.

He thought the punishment would be more severe. For example, giving up part of the Jenggala army under his control. Or give up some area under the banner of Jenggala.

"Panjalu has several daughters who still have no soul mate. Diah Suryandari, Prabu's youngest daughter with Queen Pujawati. Galuh Prabasini, the eldest daughter of Commander Jayasendra. Galuh Mayani, the youngest daughter of Duke Daha. Nanda will interdict among one of the palace's daughters." Bagawan Wistara explained.

Good Saksena understands. Political marriage is often the choice of the rulers to secure the kingdom from the possibility of war and annex each other's territory.

"Hamba receive!" good Word Saksena firmly.

"Second sentence. Nanda had to stay at Father Bagawan's storehouse to study clairvoyance for ten full moons."

Good Saksena raised her face again.

What kind of punishment is this?

This is not a punishment, but a gift.

Who does not know Bagawan Wistara? Across the sky, the name of the wise and powerful brahmin has been so legendary. He left the throne of the kingdom because of the call of the heart to become a hermit.

Ordinary people would not have been accepted as his disciples, if not for being a matchmaker.

Bagus Saksena knelt in front of Bagawan Wistara. The touch of both parents' legs and then covered hands on the chest.

"Teacher.." said the young man moved.

"Yes, from now on you are my disciple, nanda Bagus Saksena. After receiving all my teaching on the science of bathin, the next ten months then nanda returned to Jenggala to prepare for marriage with one of the princess Panjalu."

That afternoon, Bagus Saksena wanted to say goodbye to his sister, Galuh Candradewi or Citrawani.

He asked the guards to face the Surya Kencana residence where Citrawani now lives.

Upon the approval of Surya Kencana, Bagus Saksena entered the main room where family members who came to visit.

Citrawani has been waiting accompanied by Raden Surya Kencana.

"Kanda Bagus Saksena, " greet Citrawani gently. Look the girl's eyes at Bagus Saksena now turned gentle and loving.

"Dinda Candradewi, kanda came to say goodbye. Father Master deigns to bring kanda to padepokan Welirang to learn bathin. Dinda is fine here with Kanda Surya Kencana. Ten more months, I'll come to see you here" said Bagus Saksena .

The young man then turned to look at Surya Kencana.

"Raden, I beg you to take good care of my brother. Servant believes, Raden will love and treat the Candradewi dinda very well, as a queen !" nice said Saksena with a trembling voice.

Raden Surya Kencana hugged Bagus Saksena. The back of the young man was soft with a sense of brotherhood.

"Don't hesitate, Raden Bagus. Now we are brothers. Whenever Raden comes to Panjalu, we'll welcome him with open arms ."

"Thank you."

After the Jenggala heir left, Citra said to Surya Kencana.

"What a pity Kanda Bagus Saksena..."

"Why, dinda? Dinda regretted not telling him that he was not actually a blood relative? " goda Raden Surya Kencana.

"No. I just pity..."

"Dinda regret letting him go?" tekoda Surya Kencana again.

Actually, there is a bit of jealousy in the heart of Raden Surya Kencana. But he stretched his chest out knowing that Citrawani had become his legal wife. His. There's nothing more to worry about.

Moreover, Bagus Saksena really considers that Citrawani is his biological sister seayah.

"You, we have agreed that we will never tell you directly to Kanda Bagus Saksena. I don't regret that. Kanda knew that.. So don't tease me," Citrawani said scowling.

When they are alone, their attitude remains as familiar and free as it used to be. If you are in front of the eyes of others, then Citrawani uses an official call to call her husband and yourself .

"I just feel sorry for her for having a mother like Galuh Liku. If the upbringing he received was not like that, I'm sure Kanda Bagus Saksena will be a mighty knight who is not blemished for Jenggala" Citrawani said half-thoughtfully.

"May the upbringing given by Father Bagawan, can change his nature to a true knight, to take the task of replacing Prabu Jenggala's father !" Raden Surya Kencana sincerely prayed.

"May that be so ..."

"By the way, dinda has no regrets right, releasing a huge fan who was as good as Nice Saksena?" Raden Surya Kencana teases his wife again.

His eyes were winked mischievously.

Citrawani glanced at Surya Kencana with a slap. The intention was to prank her husband.

"Actually, I'm a little sorry.if I think about it, Kanda Bagus Saksena is only the status of a son of a father.but his blood is not the blood of a father. So actually, ..." Citrawani glanced at her husband with a look of regret.

"Actually if we open this truth, we don't know how he will fight for his love ..iya right kanda?"

Surya Kencana stared at sayu. He knew his wife was playing tricks on him. So he decided to play.

"Yes. We do not know if he will escape Candradewi, as Ravana escaped Sita Dewi probably.." said Surya Kencana.

"Wrong, not Ravana, but Rama ..because he is handsome and dashing .." Citrawani chirps .

"That's it, huh? So he's handsome and dashing. So here, who's Ravana?" surya Kencana asked, pretending to be angry.

"Raden Surya Kencana is..." Citrawani.

She dodged and ran small when her husband was about to reach her.

I don't feel like it's moving night.

The couple kept joking and joking, followed by a pair of lizards chasing each other at the corner pole of the room.
