THE DARANI LOR

"PRINCE OF THE VILLAGE!"

"A.... "

"A.."." (sound of screams).

In front of the throne of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, lies the body of Village Chief Saeedah with a drenched blood. There was no movement from the body of the village chief.

"EVERYTHING'S BACKWARDS. What is this main force?"

"My Commander-in-Chief is only carrying out Her Majesty's orders."

"Nyuwun sewu Her Highness the Queen Mother, there is a reason why our village chief.. "

"Kill, wahahaha yes I won telling them to kill him."

"Nyuwun sewu Her Highness the Queen Mother actually what is this?"

"Commander Dronota, what's wrong with eliminating something that is not self-knowing and useless."

"What do you mean by Her Majesty the Queen Mother?"

"Daryan."

"Sendiko dawuh Her Majesty The Queen Mother."

"What is the decision of the whole village about the offer from the kingdom?"

"To be honest I don't know yet because at the polling ceremony the results were balanced by Her Majesty the Queen Mother, half the citizens accepted the offer and the other half rejected the offer. And we agreed that the final decision was with our village chief."

"Wahahaha... And how dare he reject the kingdom. Look at this that you'll get on those who don't know yourself like your village chief."

"Nyuwun sewu Her Highness the Queen Mother, but don't we have the right to refuse. This is our land our ancestral land that lives and takes good care of us.. "

"Le is enough."

"Le Gardapati, did you know that you are now very disrespectful, you know who you are talking to!"

"Nyuwun said to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, forgive me for my sassness putro (boy). He didn't mean to be disrespectful."

"Daryan, then how about you at the vote what you vote for."

"Sendiko dawuh Her Majesty The Queen Mother answered me the same as our village chief."

"Why?"

"We have lived here for decades, even more than that, if we included our ancestors. We have become familiar with what is in this village Our culture, our Traditions, and the heritage of our ancestors. Thanks to the government for being so kind as to offer everything modern to our village, but honestly we are still lay with everything about modernity. There are many things that we have considered for the offer because it affects not only us residents who live here but also the natural conditions around us. I'm making a thousand sorry, Your Majesty the Queen Mother for my answer."

"Wahaha... Culture, Tradition, Heritage, you think you can make a deal with that. For the common good of all citizens, but there are half the citizens who are willing to accept the offer of the kingdom. Nonsense, you guys are just making excuses to disobey the Kingdom. You want to rebel, huh?"

"Nyuwun said that Her Majesty Our Queen Mother had no intention at all to rebel."

"That's just your excuse, you're just people who don't know yourself. Who do you reject, if you are self-conscious you will not dare to reject me. Who else is here to vote against the kingdom?"

With hesitation almost everyone who lived in the village clasped their hands. Although afraid of what will happen, all villagers will still hold true because honesty is the culture of their ancestors. There was no sound and almost all the people who held hands could only bow because they were really scared.

"Excellent, you're all amazing. You don't know who I am. You did not see what happened to your foolish village chief how dare you all raise your hands. You guys really underestimated me as it turned out. All right, let's see if you become the dead bodies your votes will be counted wahahaha.."

"THE MULIAH THE QUEEN MOTHER."

"What are you doing Commander Dronota, how dare you yell at me. You forgot who I am. You also forgot who you are."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY! Dare to say protect all JAWANAKARTA. You are the commander of the JAWANAKARTA kingdom and your job now is to escort and protect me so your shoes have been obeyed by me. Do you intend to betray Commander Dronota's kingdom?"

"I do not intend to betray the kingdom of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, but if for the sake of protecting all JAWANAKARTA I have to be a traitor in your eyes then I will do it. Nyuwun (sorry) Your Majesty The Queen Mother."

"How dare you Commander of Dronota, you are really tired of living. The guards killed all who were here without exception the traitorous state servant. It could be an example for the whole village so they know who they really are."

"Nyuwun Sewu Her Highness the Queen Mother, can't we have a chance to speak? I beg Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

"IT'S QUITE DARYAN. You're just getting less and less self-aware when you get a chance to talk, feel the smartest and most honorable."

"Nyuwun said to Her Majesty My Queen Mother.... "

Unfinished Daryan spoke from behind came a soldier with a sword slashing down on Daryan's body.

"SISTER"

"SISTER"

"KANG MAS"

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FATHER!"

"What's wrong with getting rid of a chatty person, do you know a chatty person can only stop if they do not live aka die Cah Bagus (a handsome boy) because your father is chatty so this is his fate."

"YOU REALLY... "

"Hold Gardapati, don't get carried away emotionally listen to me. At the moment we don't have much choice the more we are lured the more victims will fall remember there are many villagers who still have to be protected."

"But Commander my Father.. "

"Take peace and hold Gardapati we are on the right side and remember the advice of our ancestors as long as we are in the right place there is always help from the Creator of the Universe. So all we need to do now is calm down and think how to fight them, they're obviously the trained soldiers we can't underestimate them."

"You know your fate, then, listen carefully I will give you the last option Saeedah villagers appoint one person who is here to be the village chief and sign the agreement with the government, after that I will leave your village and you can continue your lives in peace. How's it?"

"Living in peace, Your Majesty the Queen Mother? A peaceful life from where, when we agreed a treaty with the kingdom there was nothing left of us. The whole village of Saeedah will belong to the kingdom and we will only have our house without the garden and the environment. You know that we all lived off farming when our land was seized what we would do to get by."

"YOU'RE SILENT, what right you have over the land of Saeedah village is all the property of your kingdom just hitchhiking on the government. All the land in JAWANAKARTA is owned by the government so know yourself do not fight surrender everything."

"The land of Saeedah village is ours, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, a legacy from our ancestors and we will guard it at any time. That's why we refused the offer from the kingdom, if we hand it over to the kingdom it will end up like any other village when its natural resources have been exhausted and its nature has been damaged left as if there is no value anymore. We're not gonna let that happen."

"DEFICIENTLY TEACH YOU ALL, let's see if you can still protect your beloved village after today. THE ENTIRE ARMY PREPARED TO FINISH OFF ALL THE RESIDENTS OF SAEEDAH VILLAGE WITHOUT BEING LEFT BEHIND. KILL ALL WAHAHAHAHAHAS...."

"SENDIKO DAWUH HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN MOTHER"

(singing)

"Bubble bald pacul cul padlengan"

"Nyunggi nyunggi wakul kul loose"

"Wakul ngglimpang segane dadi sak ratan"

"WAKUL NGGLIMPANG SEGONE DADI SAK RATAN"

A strong wind, lightning struck, the rumbling grew louder with a song of a little girl who stared fixedly at Her Majesty the Queen Mother, not long after the girl's terrible smile was followed by the shaking of the ground throughout the village of Saeedah, the village hall began to crumble and the ground began to crack as a deep and resolute voice said.

"MUNG BEBENER SING WON"
