THE DARANI LOR

"Nyuwun sewu Her Highness the Queen Mother, can Giayanta beg for something?"

"Cah Ayu (beautiful child), you are a smart and intelligent child candidate for the best generation JAWANAKARTA of course you can ask for something cah ayu (beautiful child). Speak I let you."

"Sworship matte His Majesty The Queen Mother, thank you very much. Actually I'm... "

"Speak nduk cah ayu (beautiful boy), it's okay."

"Can Your Majesty the Queen Mother forgive them?"

"Sad."

"Sir."

"Sir."

"Mamak, Giayanta knew and understood they were clearly guilty and their mistake made Giayanta angry, but they didn't have a family either. How will their family, Giyanta pity them."

"Slack, Mas knows what the deck of Gyaya means. Nobody wants to lose our family in this world."

"But mistakes are still Nduk's fault, they are proven guilty so they should receive punishment."

"But have they admitted their guilt and apologized. Should they stay…"

"It's amazing your children Daryan, not only are they smart and intelligent they are also compassionate (loving). Suguh I can still see the purity of your children, I am sure they will be the generation that will sustain JAWANAKARTA in the future. I really wish a lot to kids like you Le, Nduk."

"Sendiko dawuh lan (and) matur sembah nuwun (thank you very much) Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

"Sir cah ayu (beautiful boy), you want me to forgive them?"

"Injeh Her Majesty the Queen Mother, they have admitted their mistake and have apologized as well."

"Sir cah ayu (beautiful child), in a mistake not all can be solved with forgiveness and admit the mistake. Let's suppose when someone violates the rules because they do not know the rules that apply, on the one hand when someone violates the rules where they know correctly the rules that apply, can it be categorized as Nduk?"

"Sir, Your Highness the Queen Mother, it's not the same."

"You are indeed an intelligent child, so it is necessary to punish a mistake in order to warn and deter every man, and to give a deterrent effect, nduk, if humans are not feared, we can be sure the entire universe will not exist anymore."

"Sendiko dawuh Her Majesty The Queen Mother. I'm sorry."

"It's okay Nduk, you are indeed a smart girl, smart and soft-hearted. So let's get this over with immediately because there's still a much more important agenda than this. Commander Dronota be prepared to do my command."

"Sendiko dawuh Her Majesty The Queen Mother."

"The troops are preparing for the babatndas, the formation of the slaughterhouse is preparing."

"PREPARE THE COMMANDER."

"O 5 royal prisoners, you have broken the royal ordinance that you are part of the kingdom. You know that right and your mistakes not only violate the rules but also eliminate the life of Deer which is a proud and protected animal in the JAWANAKARTA Kingdom. With this in accordance with the decree of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, the five of you will be be beheaded today as well. Accept the punishment of the JAWANAKARTA Kingdom."

"SENDIKO DAWUH, COMMANDER OF DRONOTA, WE ACCEPT THE PUNISHMENT."

"Congress, start."

"READY COMMANDER DRONOTA."

The atmosphere that was initially happy about the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen Mother changed instantly when the execution was carried out. There is no more joy and the joy that remains only fear and horror. In front of the entire village of Saeedah, the five guilty soldiers resignedly accepted their fate. While the villagers of Saeedah all fell silent while holding and closing their children's eyes so as not to see the terrible thing. No one can stop it, because the decree of His Majesty The Queen Mother is as absolute as the decree of King JAWANAKARTA. Fighting his orders is the same as betraying. The peaceful and prosperous village, had lost its peace.

Just before the execution was carried out there was a rumble from the top of the hill, the once bright sky turned dark. Cloudy clouds covered almost all of Saeedah village area, as if the entire village had been covered by dark clouds. The rumbling sound came alternating sili, followed by a flash of lightning light. Everyone knew that the village would soon experience a violent rainstorm.

"STORM MIRUNGGAN, ALL SHELTER."

"Nyuwun sewu Her Majesty the Queen Mother, you should enter our village hall. It looks like Hurricane Mirunggan is going to hit our village. Let me take you to the village hall of Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

"Did Hurricane Mirunggan often hit the village of Saeedah Pak the village chief?"

"Actually rarely is Her Majesty the Queen Mother, almost never. In Mount Mprau there is often Hurricane Mirunggan but only occurs on the mountain alone never down to our village."

"Then is this your first time encountering Hurricane Mirunggan?"

"Our village has never been hit by Hurricane Mirunggan Her Majesty The Queen Mother, but most of our villagers know about Hurricane Mirunggan because we often face it when looking for spices and medicines around the top of Mount Mprau. So we know what the first sign of Hurricane Mirunggan will be."

"How long does Hurricane Mirunggan usually last, you know I've never met Hurricane Mirunggan. This storm only occurs in the Serayu Mountains area, right?"

"Sendiko Dawuh Her Majesty the Queen Mother, we cannot be sure how long Hurricane Mirunggan lasts. Because once a storm happens, like broken tap water won't stop until the water runs out, day like night the sun won't show up, and there would be no sound heard other than rumbling and thunder. That's Hurricane Mirunggan Her Majesty The Queen Mother."

"Well, village chief, we better stop this meeting until the storm subsides, I don't want to make my throat hurt because I have to scream to talk please show me where I can rest."

"Sendiko dawuh Her Majesty the Queen Mother please come inside here."

"Our father just go home yuk, Giayanta's afraid here."

"In the meantime, we can't go out too dangerous Hurricane Mirunggan is the most dangerous storm in our country."

"True deck, take it easy there's Mr. Mamak, same Mas here."

"We wait until it subsides a little later we go home ya Nduk."

"Injeh Mamak."

"Gardapati."

"Dalem Commander Dronota."

"Sugeng enjang Pak Daryan I Commander of Dronota, happy to meet with panjenengan (you)."

"Sugen agent Commander, I am actually honored to meet with panjenengan (you)."

"Hello cah ayu (beautiful boy)."

"…"

"Giyanta, called Commander Dronota, just shut up you Nduk, sorry Commander."

"It's okay Mom. Are you afraid of Nduk?"

"..." - ".(Giyanta nodded)

"Sorry Nduk, this shouldn't happen. This was an unexpected event Nduk. As we know that things are not always as we want."

"Does Her Majesty the Queen Mother always directly impose punishment on the guilty person of the Commander?"

"Not always Le, usually when proven guilty they will be entered into the royal court. There, punishments will be handed down to the accused if found guilty."

"But why were they not brought to the royal court of the Commander?"

"That is also our question Mr. Daryan, Her Majesty the Queen Mother usually does not interfere in the royal offense punishment, but somehow in this case he insisted on even using the Decree of Brotonadi (the equivalent of the King's decree) to punish the guilty soldiers."

"There's no way to make them not in... "

"Cannot Nduk, the Decree of Brotonadi is an absolute decree no one can reject it, rejecting the same as betraying the kingdom JAWANAKRTA Nduk."

"Already, Giyanta Nduk cah ayu (beautiful boy) here with Mamak. We sit in the corner there, do not think that we do not-do not just leave it all to the Creator of the Universe Nduk. How their fate will be we can only help through prayer. My mother was sitting there. Gardapati you're also coming with Mamak here."

"Injeh Mak."

"Sorry Mr. Daryan, you have amazing children. I'm sure they're very special for sure."

"They are special to me and my wife Commander, I will sacrifice my body for my children for sure."

"You know Mr. Daryan, the best children are born of good people. And I'm sure you're a good man."

"Thank you Commander I'm also sure you're a good man."

"Thank you but it seems that after this I am still not sure if I include Mr. Daryan's good people."

"Sorry Commander Dronota you are a royal servant already supposed to run a royal titan. No one will blame you Commander I'm sure of it."

"Thank you Mr. Daryan for your consolation. May I ask Mr Daryan?"

"Please Commander as long as I can answer I will answer."

"What do you think of the story of the Piles, do you believe it or just think of it as a fairy tale?"

"Commander of Dronota, I was born and raised alongside Tradition, Culture and Ancestral Heritage. The story of the Piling Pancang is that our ancestral legacy is certainly I believe in the existence of the Piling."

"I too Mr. Daryan my parents educated and raised me with Tradition, Culture, and Ancestral Heritage. I have always been raised to believe and fear the Creator of the Universe, the young owner of the entire Universe. I'm so scared that one day I'm not doing something right, like pushing myself that I shouldn't do that, but things make me have to do that."

"The commander knows that man can always choose, choose his way of life. The Creator of the Universe never forces man to be a perfect being but it is man who has the desire to be perfect in the obvious that perfection belongs only to the Creator of the Universe. This is the real human error of not knowing oneself, and feeling the most perfect does not sometimes feel more perfect than the Creator himself."

"For the sake of the Creator and JAWANAKARTA State is something that I fear the most and do not want to experience. For whatever it really will never cross my life Mr. Daryan."

"I believe in you Commander Dronota, you are a good man I am sure of it. You still hold fast to our life principles well. That's proof that you're a good person."

"Thank you Mr. Daryan."

"PRINCE OF THE VILLAGE!"
