THE DARANI LOR
(Flashback from Commander Dronota)
"Life JAWANAKARTA, blessed is the King. Sincerely Your Majesty the King, do you call me Your Majesty?"
"Thank you Commander Dronota. Come in and sit down."
"My respect Your Majesty the King."
"I'm sorry to call you these nights Commander. There's something I want to talk about."
"It's an honor that you call me His Majesty the King."
"Well I'll just go straight. I'd like to ask your help Commander. Can you help me?"
"With all due respect. I will always serve your Majesty the King. You can ask anything from me even if it's a servant's life."
"Thank you Commander Dronota. I know your abilities and reputation. You are one of the 4 Commanders who still hold fast to Harkat and JAWANAKARTA Dignity, and you are very loyal to our Royal Family. I never doubted you."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty the King."
"But unfortunately what I'm asking for is a little contrary to your beliefs Commander in Chief."
"I'm sorry, what do you mean His Majesty the King."
"Are you willing to betray the Royal Family for me Commander?"
"You mean His Majesty the King."
"In outline I ask you to be loyal only to me and will always be on my side even if it should betray the entire royal family.goWill you be Commander of Dronota?"
"…."
"I'm sorry for confusing you. Maybe I asked you too soon without giving a more detailed explanation. Actually I am also testing you whether you are a rash person or not. And after seeing you I'm more convinced to ask for your help."
"Sorry Your Majesty, I still don't understand what you mean."
"alright. Commander do you still remember when I was crowned King JAWANAKARTA?"
"Of course His Majesty the King, Rebo Pahing Sarat month Cetramasa year. It was the best day for the coronation."
"And it was also the day after my father His Majesty King Sarono died. Even he was not buried at that time and I was appointed King to replace him. Isn't that like something unreal Commander? I, who was 7 years old at the time, must one day be King of a Kingdom."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, do not feel guilty about your appointment. All have been arranged by the royal court and as I recall your inauguration day is the best day of the year Cetramasa. So it's supposed to be a good day that we have a new king."
"The good day. Not all days are good. What makes us conclude a good or bad day?"
"Get."
"To be precise, I know that you're very intelligent and rational Commander Dronota and that's what makes me like you."
"Thank You, Your Majesty the King."
"First in the history of the country a 7-year-old child becomes King. The youngest king ever and so that's my nickname back then. Everyone is on me overnight I've been the center of all centers. At that time did you know what I was thinking Commander?"
"Perhaps how will you adjust to His Majesty the King?"
"Haha... Nothing came into my mind at all about it. What I thought was my promise to my friend to compete setin (gundu). For on the day my father died I promised my comrades to fight with them. Isn't it funny Commander?"
"No Your Majesty the King, I'm wrong I forgot that you are 7 years old. A 7-year-old should play with his friends. Forgive me Your Majesty the King."
"Why should you apologize Commander, you are also innocent. Because what you think is also the same thought by all people at that time. It's just that I don't understand that yet."
"Then, Your Majesty, what do I need to help you with?"
"Looks like I made you uncomfortable Commander. I'm sorry for being too long-winded."
"My respect Your Majesty the King. That's not what I mean."
"I understand that, but I have to ask you to stay here and listen to me until it's over."
"Okay, Your Majesty the King."
"Go back to the kid who doesn't know anything about it. One day the father was buried everything in his life changed. Not only life, even the people around him changed. No one else just randomly invited him to talk, no one dared to play all downcast even as he walked over to them. Isn't that what Commander, when you own the Kingdom, but you also lose everything in your life and that includes your own mother. Everything changes in Mother, Commander. And the longer it looks the more she's not my mother."
"How big is my claim to JAWANAKARTA for 10 years do you think Commander?"
"You are an extraordinary King, Your Majesty. The only King who managed to bring JAWANAKARTA to be the most advanced and prosperous country. So many of your achievements maybe if I mention it until sunrise is not finished."
"And it's not hard to believe a child aged 7 to 17 can achieve it all. I'm just a 17-year-old boy Commander. None of that is my achievement to celebrate Mother's achievement."
"Sorry Your Majesty the King."
"Why do you always apologize. I will continue. Everything that happens in JAWANAKARTA today is all because the Mother and the foreigners are the Commander. At first I was very grateful and proud of what Mother did, how she could work with these foreigners for our country. Everything went well and everything was fine. I don't know what would happen to me if he wasn't there. I always thought it was for the good of everyone because that's what I saw. All my people are happy and prosperous because of this achievement and all the conveniences provided by the foreigners. But it's not the same as what I imagined and saw. Not all people are happy and prosperous, many people are hurt and suffer. Not only that the more days I feel we are no longer the people of JAWANAKARTA State, we like losing our identity Commander. How much do you resemble a customary event today, or do you still see the altar of worship in our area not much now more hotels and shopping centers."
"I have also rarely seen sangar culture in almost every city except the town of Kidul His Majesty the King."
"It is only the city of Kidullah that still carries the ancestral heritage because they still have things that they fear. But the others are a little apprehensive."
"What can I do to help His Majesty the King?"
"As I said earlier, can you betray the royal family and only serve me Commander in Chief? This time I really need an answer from you Commander."
"I am willing His Majesty the King."
"Then I want to hear your promise Commander."
"Honor to His Majesty The King. Raja JAWANAKARTA heavenly land NUSATAMARA owner of majesty and glory. I Commander Dronota Abditara Kreasto promised to give all of his body and soul to His Majesty The King, ready to serve all orders and loyal only to His Majesty The King. In the name of JAWANAKARTA heavenly land."
"Impressurize Commander. I have accepted your promise and I will give you my order. From now on you Commander Dronota abditara Kreasto will work for the people, serve the people regardless of caste and position, protect all JAWANAKARTA people, put the whole people first even if it has to betray the Royal family."
"Your Majesty the King, I actually still do not understand what you mean but I will accept the orders of His Majesty the King. I will work and be on the side of the people. I promise with all my heart."
"Thank you Commander, right now it's people like the Commander that the people need not be someone who just sits on the throne but can't do anything."
(Flashback end)
"Commander, Commander Dronota are you okay?"
"O yeah I'm fine Cadet Pudan, what did you call me?"
"I Cadet 1 Pudan report to the Commander all are in their respective posts and all situations are safely under control. Report's done."
"Impress for the report. Please return to your post. Execute."
"Ready-done. I'm sorry for my indecision Commander, are you okay Commander?"
"Yes I'm fine Cadet Pudan. You don't have to worry."
"Well excuse me to return to my post Commander in Chief. Excuse me."
"How is the Commander?"
"He's fine just...?"
"What germs?"
"It looks like the Commander is having a lot of thoughts when he wants to report it looks like the Commander is daydreaming, like he is thinking about something. He can't possibly know tomorrow's plan, right?"
"There is no way Her Majesty the Queen Mother has ordered all those who participate in this journey to keep their mouths shut from the Commander of Dronota. No one would dare to tell the Commander. You forgot how cruel Her Majesty the Queen Mother is."
"Do you not feel guilty, Cadet Juan, I can still remember how warm they welcomed us."
"Pity? And don't you feel sorry for your family at Cadet Padun's. We are merely subordinates of the Pandu Cadets, we have no good choice. We can't be selfish for that, because I won't sacrifice my whole family for humanity."
"You're right, Cadet Juan. We don't have a choice."
"It would be better if the beautiful people of the village did not resist and resist Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Even if it should sacrifice their ancestral land."
"True, I also hope so Cadet Juan. May the Creator of the Universe protect them. Amen."
"Amen."
"We'd better get ready for tomorrow to go smoothly."
"Good Cadet Padun let's get ready."
The welfare looks a tinge of red sun signs will soon show themselves. Cold still enveloping the village of Saeedah seen in the room of the house has turned on the lamp of the steering wheel (oil lamp) to start the day. The peaceful and peaceful atmosphere can be seen some villagers have started their activities. With still shrouded in happiness and enthusiasm for the arrival of the Grand Mother of Queen Mother Empress they expect a beautiful day that they will live today. That is hope, but not all hope will come true because what will come true is destiny. The Destiny of the Creator of the Universe.
