JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Old Testament

"Call him to gather soon, we must not waste any more time Sur", orders Jaka Umbaran immediately. Besur immediately respected before stepping out of the place.

"But before Gusti Pangeran Mapanji Jayabaya returns to Daha, there is something Gusti Pangeran needs to finish first", Akuwu Mpu Setyaki immediately spoke.

"What is Akuwu Mpu Setyaki?", Jaka Umbaran turned his gaze to this ruler of Pakuwon Watugaluh.

"Female prisoners who were with the people who confronted Gusti Pangeran Mapanji Jayabaya the other day.

What should we do?", Mpu Setyaki stared at Jaka Umbaran asking for consideration.

Mmmmmm..

"Let us take care of it. Baratwaja, pick up the woman from Blambangan and take her to Kotaraja Daha. There later I will decide what punishment is appropriate for him", hearing the order from the employer, Baratwaja immediately respect before he moves according to the task given by Jaka Umbaran.

That same afternoon, Jaka Umbaran led the small group to leave Pakuwon Watugaluh Palace. Everyone seems excited to go home to Kotaraja Daha except for one person who looks like he has a toothache, Gendol.

"You why Gigi is Rare?", asked Resi Simharaja who rode beside Gendol.

"Can you understand the human feeling, Old Tiger?

A tiger demon like you can understand my current feelings. It's still my newlywed Old Tiger, not even a week. I should still be as friendly as Yayi Arumsari. Eh instead went home to Kotaraja", Gendol dismantled the unravels in his heart.

"Yes you're still a newlywed, everyone knows that.

This is the duty of the state. Ready not to be ready, as a knight of the Kingdom of Panjalu, must be ready body soul when the country needs. Will it be a newlywed, will your wife want to give birth, will your father is dying, but if the duty of the state calls we should not even say no because we are a soldier. This is the dharma of our knights" said Resi Simharaja with a fiery spirit. Gendol was silent to hear the long description of the former demon king Alas Roban.

"One more thing, you should also remember Ndol. You got a beautiful wife too because of the help of Gusti Pangeran Mapanji Jayabaya. This will be your debt for life.

So if Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya orders you to come along, you should take part. If you stubbornly defy his orders, he could easily have Rara Arumsari divorce you. Want you?", Resi Simharaja deliberately scare Gendol.

"Yes, of course, you don't want an old tiger!

Which crazy person would want to lose a wife as beautiful as Yayi Arumsari? The nude in front of that was so happy with my luck, always doing absurd things", Gendol pointed towards Besur who was riding in front of him. But before leaving to go to Kotaraja Daha, Besur had scolded Gendol who was engrossed in enjoying the beauty of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace sari garden. Almost they fuss if Besur does not use the name of Prince Mapanji Jayabaya.

"Then from that, don't bend your face like people would poop like that. Not good to look at. Already a mediocre face, uh frowning anyway. Make the eyes hurt to see it" said Resi Simharaja while patting the back of his horse until his horse directly darted leaving Gendol who was still walking leisurely. Instantly Gendol grumbled in his heart.

'Basic Fucking Old Tiger'

*****

Because of the short distance between the City of Pakuwon Watugaluh and Kotaraja Daha, it does not take up to half a day trip Jaka Umbaran group alias Prince Mapanji Jayabaya to the center of government of the Kingdom of Panjalu.

The residents of Kotaraja Daha who happened to be passing by, immediately pulled over and saluted the entourage of Sang Yuwaraja Panjalu. The young women who saw the passing of the crown prince of the Kingdom of Panjalu was also scrambling to be able to see the handsome face of the prospective king of Panjalu.

"Wah turned out to be handsome huh Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya. I would love to give birth to a baby from her" said a curvaceous girl with a big chest with her flirtatious.

"Eh Widuri, where would Gusti Pangeran Mapanji Jayabaya be like a flirty woman like you heh?

Let alone Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya, the same pelvic porters of goods in the big market you also do not refuse. Don't dream of swallowing a star if the sand is still you want", said a young girl who was a little thin fierce.

"Yes, Widuri, once you have a glass. Don't be a frog who wants to eat goose meat if your behavior is still similar to a cheap prostitute on the banks of the Kapulungan River there.

Amit-amit jabang baby deh", the chimpanzee of another young woman who helped gang up on this young girl named Widuri.

"Ah just say that you are jealous of me who is more salable compared to you who are not glimpsed by men at all" said Widuri with his high confidence.

"That's because you're cheap huuuu" said the two girls at the same time. Widuri did not respond to the words of these two young girls, but mocked them by blushing her red lips.

The arrival of Jaka Umbaran aka Prince Mapanji Jayabaya at Kotaraja Daha Palace was immediately greeted with great respect by the soldiers of the palace gate guards. The Swordsman of Mount Lawu is headed directly towards the Pendopo Agung Kotaraja Daha Palace where Prabu Bameswara has been waiting.

"My worship is Kanjeng Romo Prabu", said Jaka Umbaran as soon as he crouched down and worshipped Prabu Bameswara who was sitting on the throne.

"I accept your service my son.

There's something we need to talk about. Sit in your place Ngger Cah Bagus" said Prabu Bameswara as he raised his right hand.

Jaka Umbaran immediately got up from his place and immediately sat on the lower right seat of the throne of the Kingdom of Panjalu. His followers are still where they are.

"How come Ngger Cah Bagus, regarding the arrival of Duke Wangsakerta and Duke Prabhaswara you already know for yourself is not the reason they both came together with their two daughters?", asked Prabu Bameswara with a meaningful smile.

"I understand Kanjeng Romo Prabu. This is indeed a promise debt that must be kept, I will not break the promise.

But before that, there was someone who had come from a foreign land. He came here to collect the promise of a messenger from the Kingdom of Panjalu named Panji Tejo Laksono", said Jaka Umbaran immediately. Prabu Bameswara immediately turned his head towards Queen Dyah Chandrakirana for a moment before speaking.

"Promise? What promise, my son?", Prabu Bameswara stared at Jaka Umbaran.

"Indrawati, speak now", hear the voice of Jaka Umbaran, Indrawati aka Nyai Paricara directly worshiped Prabu Bameswara before starting to speak.

"Please forgive Gusti Prabu if the arrival of the servant is not at the right time. Name of Indrawati's servant. Servant is the daughter of a Champa princess named Princess Anarawati.", Indrawati immediately told all her stories to Prabu Bameswara. The Ruler of the Kingdom of Panjalu was seen to understand.

"Therefore, the servant came here to collect a promise from a messenger from Daha who had been made together with the servant's mother. Please help Gusti Prabu Bameswara", Indrawati ended his story while paying respect to the Maharaja of Panjalu.

Mmmmmm...

"Originally, you know, girl from Champa. I am Panji Tejo Laksono, the messenger from Daha who made an appointment with your mother Princess Anarawati", how shocked Indrawati heard Prabu Bameswara's reply.

"Then, I beg for forgiveness if the words of the servant have offended Gusti Prabu" said Indrawati immediately.

"There's no need for you to apologize. Did my son Mapanji Jayabaya not tell me about the man you were looking for?", Indrawati immediately shook her head at Prabu Bameswara's question.

"Woh, you little brat..

But it's not a problem now. After all, you came all the way from a very, very distant place in the Northern Mainland. For us the knights of Panjalu, abstain from breaking promises. Of course I will fulfill my promise with your mother.

I will match you with my son Mapanji Jayabaya. But not only will you be his wife, but the two beautiful daughters who are there will also be his wife. You don't mind it?", hearing the question, Indrawati immediately turned to Dewi Rengganis and Putri Pandan Wangi. The two beautiful girls immediately nodded while smiling meaningfully.

"Hamba does not mind if you have to share a husband with them, Gusti Prabu", replied Indrawati while worshiping Prabu Bameswara.

Hehehe..

"Then the first problem is over. Just wait for the time to do the wedding of the three of you with Prince Mapanji Jayabaya.

Now the second problem, I need consideration from all of you. I got word that the troops of the Kingdom of Jenggala had made a move from the Duchy of Kanjuruhan. I want to hear your opinion on this matter", Prabu Bameswara circulated his gaze towards the courtiers of Kotaraja Daha Palace present in that place.

"We have been patient for too long in dealing with these Jenggala warriors. It is time we began to conquer all of them and unite these two countries into one again as it used to be when Prabu Airlangga reigned, Gusti Prabu", said Mapatih Mpu Baprakeswara aka Mpu Ludaka while respecting the ruler of the Kingdom of Panjalu.

"But we are bound by the agreement made by Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana with Eyang Dewi Kilisuci, Uncle Mapatih..

This is the standard rule set by Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana before he died" replied Prabu Bameswara immediately.

"This old covenant was made by Gusti Prabu Jayengrana and Her Majesty the Goddess Kilisuci, Gusti Prabu Bameswara. Now they have all gone home to the Creator. So this is no longer binding on Daha, let alone Jenggala continuously making trouble with us. Of course we can't let this go on.

We must not be a tame tiger in a cage because of an old covenant that holds us all together. We must conquer the Jenggala" said Mapatih Mpu Baprakeswara fiery.

Prabu Bameswara seemed silent for a moment to hear the narration of the government of the Kingdom of Panjalu. While breathing heavily, he said,

"Okay, maybe it's time. The old agreement made by Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana, I declare no longer valid.

Prepare ourselves, we will fight the Bengal!"
