THE DARANI LOR

"Adek remember, Mas Garda will always take care of adek, adek ndak (not) need to fear ya."

"Mas, how are you with Mama?"

"Your mother and father must be fine. Remember the words of Mbah Uti, the good person is always guarded by the Creator of the Universe. We know that Mamak and Father are good people, so they must be fine because they look after and protect them The Creator of the Universe."

"…"

"Have kids? Let's hurry, we're still a long way from the kids."

"Let's deck we have to get ready Mas will deliver adek to where it should be adek to be."

They immediately changed their clothes and prepared. The sky was getting dark, dark and completely dark as the day began to evening. The rest of the storm is still felt, the rain is still flushing with the night was getting colder and darker. After finishing mending and preparing the three begin their journey. Slowly climbing the slopes of Mprau, they could not use the path that the villagers used to walk to the valley of Mount Mprau. The road must have been guarded and combed by the royal soldiers, as a result they had to enter the forest so as not to be caught.

Slippery roads and full of thickets they have to go through, sometimes they also have to walk on the edge of the cliff. There was no other way they had to leave the village and the mountain valley of Mprau so as not to get caught. When they had reached the last cliff and the final boundary of Saeedah village it turned out that they were too late the village boundary had been guarded by the soldiers, they had to stop and hide.

"Pripun niki (how is this) mbak Sari?"

"We hid Le Gardapati first, we can't (no) just break through them, you see them very much."

"If so gita to the very edge of the cliff alone mbak Sari there is a cave and the place is lush."

"All right, let's go there first to rest and make a plan."

"Injeh (iya) mbak Sari."

They walked slowly towards the westernmost slope of Mount Mprau, Gardapati knew that there was a cave that was quite comfortable occupied and not visible from the bottom because it was covered by thickets. Slowly the three of them walked towards the cave as they got closer to the cave faintly heard the sound of people conversing. They stopped and hid. On the lips of the cave look 2 adult men are cleaning the bushes on the lips of the cave. Because the darker conditions are not clearly visible who they look they are tall and handsome fit the stature of an adult male.

"Stop Le first, we can't (no) get there there it's too dark we don't (no) know who they are whether they're ordinary people or some soldiers who are down the forest looking for us."

"Then we need to know how Sari works."

"We'll wait here until... "

"Who are y'all? Stay where you are, don't move!"

"What's Yus?"

"There's a dark intruder."

"Mas Yustar?"

"Hapsari? Dek Sari."

"What are you doing here?"

"Mas Yustar, sampeyan (you) ndak (no) anything?"

"I ndak (no) no deck, me and the others managed to escape out of the village when there was a commotion earlier and hide in this cave, this cave, if I'm not wrong you're running away from something, right?"

"Sorry Mas Yustar can we go into hiding with you for a while. Sari knew Mas Yustar and the others were not bad people. Can you guys help us?"

"Get in this still raining pity on the children. Believe me we won't do anything we know how to thank Sari."

"Satur suwun Mas."

"What's Yustar?"

"Nothing, is there still a supply of dry cloth?"

"Still, the supplies provided by Mbok Yem was very much. Do you need it?"

"Yes, give me 3 dry cloths."

"Nyuwun sewu Mas Parjo, sorry to bother."

"Dek Sari, why are you here and they're not..."

"Quite Parjo let them in and rest first. Come inside so you can dry your clothes and warm yourself."

"Chess nuwun."

Goa on one of the cliffs of Mount Mprau is not visible from the bottom because of its shape that juts into and the number of thickets that are lush like cliffs in general that are vandalized by shrubs. In a large enough cave there are quite a lot of supplies and equipment. There were tents, campfires and a few piles of groceries. In the corner of the cave there is a pile of grass that is thick enough so that it is comfortable to sit and sleep.

"This is this cloth to dry you and have you eaten?"

"Not yet Mas Parjo, but we brought supplies."

"Have saved it for later, eat this I've already cooked some food but sorry if it doesn't taste as good as stall or home cooking."

"It's okay Mas Parjo has helped us a lot. Thanks."

"No problem. Eat and rest it seems like the rain is still not going to stop."

"…."

"Do you not want to ask Sari anything."

"No need to be sure you must have your own duty, right Sari."

"True Mas, but now honestly Sari was confused as to how."

"Let's eat and rest you can't go now it's raining so much plus down there are so many royal soldiers and I'm sure they're not hunting us, but it's you they're not looking for."

"To be exact those brave children, before we were asked to leave by one of the villagers, we saw a slight dispute between the village chief and Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Then what happened after that when we didn't know because we had to leave, until by the time we had been on the highest cliff of Mount Mprau we heard a thumping sound like something had collapsed."

"True, a nice guy who untied us and asked us to hide behind the village hall until we met Mbok Yem."

"Mbok yem also knows you guys are going Mas?"

"Yes Sari Mbok Yem is the one who gave us the equipment and supplies for us."

"That good man do you know his name, sir?"

"Feel up if not wrong."

"Sir Lek Karsan."

"He was the one who untied us when the storm started to hit the village. He said he did not release us because we were innocent, we were clearly guilty. But according to him we do not deserve the death penalty, everything in life compulsory law is fair to anyone. So he asked us to go and make amends for our mistakes by being devoted to the country and the universe."

"Then what happened to Sari?"

"The story is long Mas Yustar, and honestly Sari bingun want a story from where. It all just happened after Her Majesty The Queen Mother killed Village Chief Saeedah."

"For the sake of the Creator of the Universe, Her Majesty The Queen Mother is truly terrifying."

"Peach your mouth Parjo. As bad as Her Majesty Ibu Suri is still the Mother of King JAWANAKARTA. We can't talk about it carelessly."

"Sorry Yustar I just didn't expect it. And how can we be really proud to be able to devote ourselves to them."

"Here you go, we better not talk about it anymore. Can you just run away together?"

"No we escaped the five, three of us went back to the village to meet the Commander and we were both asked to stand guard here."

"Commander?"

"Yes, our Commander of Dronota is with him. It was he who evacuated the villagers and that was when we met at one of the village houses as we were on our way out of the village. He asked us to find a hiding place first and forbade us from Saeedah village. Eat we hide here first to help Commander Dronota."

"Then what happened to our village sir?"

"I don't know either, 3 of my friends are going to the village to help Commander Dronota."

"And they haven't returned yet, so we really don't know the state of your village Le."

"Relax Gardapati, Commander Dronota is a true warrior he will always help the righteous and the needy."

"Will the Commander come here Mas Yustar?"

"I don't know Sari, it might be because the Commander also has no place to hide."

"Hidden? Why should Commander Dronota hide?"

"Besides you Commander Dronota is also one of the fugitives like you."

"Mas Dirwo."

"You're back, how's the village?"

"Bad, there were a lot of soldiers standing guard all over the village."

"And Her Majesty the Queen Mother?"

"He was furious and..."

"And what is Mas Dirwo..."

"The whole village is forced to sign a deed of sale and purchase for the entire village and if anyone refuses they will be made a traitor to the kingdom. And to your parents..."

"Why with our parents, sir?"

"Your parents are designated traitors to the kingdom and their bodies..."

"Mamak's father hisk hiks..."

"How are our parents' bodies sir."

"Their remains were hung in the rubble of the village hall along with the remains of the village chief, as a warning sign to the villagers not to reject His Majesty's wishes of the Queen Mother."

"Gardapati calm down, you can't go back to the village. Remember Le your duty you must carry out your duty to guard and deliver your brother Le. Quiet." Calm."

"But what about my Mama and Mama Mbak Sari."

"Take it easy Gardapati Panglima and two of my friends are trying to retrieve their bodies and the village chief is assisted by some villagers. But we can't be rash because if Her Majesty the Queen Mother knew that the villagers were helping us it would be dangerous for the villagers."

"Calm Gardapati."

"Injeh(iya) mbak Sari."

"Therefore I need one of you to come with me Parjo, Yustar back to Saeedah village. We need more people to save their bodies."

"Alright let me join you Dirwo, let Parjo be here to take care and take care of them. Right Parjo?"

"True Dirwo, invite Yustar to help you let me keep them here."

"Alright, you three stay here outside very happy there are many soldiers everywhere. And you Gardapati, we did something wrong to your village. But you should know that we know how to thank and that the villagers of Saeedah are good people and we will not let them be hurt by the greed of the powerful. So wait here I promise to properly rest the bodies of your parents and the village chief and save the rest of the villagers."

"Thank you sir."

"And Gardapati and Giyanta it seems like we should stay here for a while, we should re-plan while waiting for another member to come with us."

"I mean Sari?"

Seriate.
