JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Eight Bidadari Gumuk Mas (part 2)

For the people around the Duchy of Lamajang, they often call the hill with the word Gumuk. Along the South coast of the foot of Mount Mahameru, there are indeed many hills or murmurs that are usually used as a residence for priests, the brahmins and the pencak silat because it is considered a noble place because it is higher than the surrounding places. This was also one of their efforts to draw closer to the Creator.

Among the hundreds of murmurs scattered in the south to the east of the Duchy of Lamajang, there is a mound that became the residence of a female brahmana or brahmani who has very high martial skills. She is Nyai Pu Jayasiwi or commonly referred to as the Reverend Woman with a Thousand Sleeves. That murmur was Gumuk Mas.

In the course of his life, he raised some female disciples that he managed to save from robbers who wanted to sell them as prostitutes in the city. Eight beautiful women were finally appointed as his students to inherit the martial arts he had. After the death of the Thousand-Sleeved Female Priestess, the eight students then poor across the martial world with the name of Eight Angels Gumuk Mas.

In addition to being beautiful and having a high level of canuragan science, there were some less commendable traits in these eight young women. They often tease men with their body.

The eight beautiful women consist of Goddess Melati, Goddess of Roses, Goddess of Cantile, Goddess Kenanga, Goddess Cempaka, Goddess of Orchids, Goddess of Cambodia and Goddess of Kemuning. The leader and oldest student at Padepokan Gumuk Mas, Dewi Melati was finally the leader of the eight beautiful women.

Seeing a beautiful young woman in white clothes with a flirtatious smile walking towards them, Besur immediately elbowed the waist of Baratwaja sitting next to him.

"Ja, you see that beautiful woman..

Looks like he's beckoning me to get close to him. Try to pay attention", said Besur confidently.

"Ah it is hard to believe that such a beautiful woman wants to get acquainted with you Sur. Your look is similar to the face of lutung so, how might make him interested?", replied Baratwaja with a thin smile.

"Eh Baratwaja semprul, what did you say?

I look like a lutung so huh? What kind of friend are you, instead of defending a friend, dropping my pride. Damn you this.!", annoyed Besur who is upset is said to look like a lutung by Baratwaja.

"That's to remind you not to have too much self-confidence. When falling will be very sick Sur.", reply Baratwaja soon.

"Ah stupid time.. An accursed friend like you can't be expected..

But he's here, isn't he? I will welcome him", Besur cheerfully rose from his seat while Baratwaja immediately shook his head to see the attitude of his friend this one.

"Excuse me Nisanak, are you looking for someone?", asked Besur immediately. Dewi Melati also answered the question with a little ketus.

"Of course I'm looking for someone but not a rhinoceros-faced man like you", Baratwaja almost spewed out the contents of his mouth filled with drinking water so choked to hear the answer of Goddess Melati. After swallowing his drink, he immediately laughed out loud while Besur bent his face deeply.

"Bad!!

Who do you call a rhino-faced man huh? Don't you know that I'm an... Haaaeeeeeppppphh!!", as Besur had not yet finished his talk, Jaka Umbaran threw a piece of poultice into his wide-open mouth. Wredamantri Mpu Gumbreg's son almost revealed their secret disguise.

"Someone what? A rhino-faced man?

Move aside, I don't want to talk to you", said Dewi Melati as she pushed Besur's body to the side. The beautiful woman took a step like she was flirting with every look of the man in the place. He approached the eating places of Jaka Umbaran, Wara Andhira, Gendol and Resi Simharaja.

"Handsome young man, my name is Goddess Melati. Can we get acquainted?", said Dewi Melati as she reached out her hand to shake hands at Jaka Umbaran who was still engrossed in enjoying her food. The beautiful woman deliberately slightly subdued her body while showing off the beauty of her curves as well as her large cleavage which usually cannot be rejected by every man she met.

"Not interested.", reject Jaka Umbaran briefly without turning to Dewi Melati.

The beautiful face of the woman was immediately reddish in shame because she felt offended by Jaka Umbaran's rejection. Especially when he glanced at his younger siblings who smothered their mouths as if they were laughing at him let alone the Goddess Orchid who had bet with him.

"Hey you don't just talk..

What is less than me? I'm beautiful, attractive, my body is good. If compared to any woman, I would be superior to them. Come on lest you regret later on for refusing to know me", Dewi Melati was about to touch Jaka Umbaran's shoulder but Wara Andhira quickly blocked her arm tightly.

"She's already rejected it, so stop your cheap attitude!", Wara Andhira glared at the screech while holding tightly onto Goddess Melati's wrist.

Feeling the pain due to Wara Andhira's hand grip, Dewi Melati tried to take it off. The first experiment, he could not release the handrails of this beautiful woman from Blambangan. But when the second loud jolt, Wara Andhira accidentally released his grip until Dewi Melati was immediately stranded on the floor of this restaurant. Just contact it, this makes all visitors to this restaurant laugh out loud.

Enraged by being humiliated by Wara Andhira, Goddess Melati was about to pull out the sword that was on her waist. Likewise with the seven sisters who did not accept the humiliation received by their brothers and sisters. But a young man with a thick mustache in the corner of the dining room immediately shouted loudly, "Hold your anger, Angel Gumuk Mas!"

Instantly all eyes were fixed on the figure of this thick-bodied young man. Judging from his clothes, it was clear that he was a noble or a soldier officer with the rank of butenggung or interpreter. The figure of this young man directly approached the place along with two burly people who seemed to be his personal bodyguards.

"Gusti Tumenggung Ardalepa...

"Patience first, Goddess Melati...

I will not interfere with your intention to fight. But as a soldier officer of the Duchy of Lamajang, I don't want any commotion in this place because this is a place that belongs to my brother. So if you want to fight against this nisanak, please be out there" said Tumenggung Ardalepa while allowing them to come out.

Hearing that, Dewi Melati immediately turned her head towards Wara Andhira while glaring widely.

"I wait for you outside!!", after saying so, the Goddess Melati immediately shot into the courtyard of this restaurant while drawing her sword.

Wara Andhira who was unarmed, immediately grabbed the sword that belonged to Besur lying on the dining table.

"Eehhh what do you want, lioness?", asked Besur immediately.

"Borrow your sword for a while to teach the bad woman a lesson" Wara Andhira replied as she darted into the courtyard, following Goddess Melati who had arrived there first. Besur who was about to object to it, said no after seeing Jaka Umbaran giving his signal to be silent.

Dewi Melati directly lunged forward towards Wara Andhira by slapping her sword towards the neck of this beautiful woman in yellow.

Shhhrrreeeeettth!!!

Wara Andhira was immediately bouncy in the air avoiding the sword of Goddess Melati while swinging her sword towards the back of this beautiful woman in skimpy white. Dewi Melati bent her knees, until the slash of Wara Andhira's sword struck the wind as an inch above her head.

The fierce battle of two beautiful women immediately attracted the attention of the visitors of this restaurant. They all huddled around the window of the restaurant to see the two beautiful women pitting their magic.

But unlike most people, Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja are still fun to enjoy their food as if they do not care about what happens. Besur, who was worried about his sword, immediately stepped forward. Followed by Baratwaja and Gendol, he prepared if anything happened to Wara Andhira.

Two burly men who accompanied Tumenggung Ardalepa immediately whispered to their master until high-ranking officers of the Lamajang Duchy were watching a fierce fight between Wara Andhira and Dewi Melati in person glancing towards Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja. A little surprised, he immediately stepped closer to the dining table of Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja.

"You're not worried about your girl friend's safety, Kisanak?

Dewi Melati though looks like a naughty woman, but she is very cruel in the fight" said Tumenggung Ardalepa soon.

"Hamba believes he can handle it, Gusti Tumenggung" said Jaka Umbaran casually.

"How can you be so sure of your female comrade's martial skills?

It seems like you are not here until you have never heard of the big name Eight Angels Gumuk Mas" said Tumenggung Ardalepa later.

"We are not the Duchy of Lamajang, Gusti Tumenggung. We traveled from far away, precisely from the Paguhan region in the Kingdom of Panjalu.

We've gone through many obstacles to get to this place. And servant friends are also trained to face any danger that exists" said Jaka Umbaran with a faint smile.

"Yes it's up to you, I just warned you. As long as it does not disturb the peace of the people of the Duchy of Lamajang, you can fight against anyone who interferes with your journey", after speaking so, Tumenggung Ardalepa also immediately returned to watch the fight in the courtyard of the restaurant.

After dozens of moves passed, it was seen that Wara Andhira the Mountain Raung Hermit disciple began to dominate this silat game. Two small incisions had adorned the body of Goddess Melati while she was still fine.

While ngosan regulate his breath that began to sting due to the amount of energy in the drain, Dewi Melati also immediately turned to the direction of his 7 sisters.

"Don't shut up, help me!"

Hearing the orders from the leader, the other 7 Angels of Gumuk Mas immediately pulled out their swords and immediately surrounded Wara Andhira from various directions.

Seeing that, Gendol, Besur and Baratwaja immediately looked at each other for a moment before the three of them darted into the middle of the courtyard of the restaurant and stood beside Wara Andhira. Besur who got a sword loan from Baratwaja, immediately grinned broadly staring at the 8 beautiful women who were surrounding them while saying,

"You want to play a game?!

Remember, this woman is also part of our employer's personal bodyguard. We will never remain silent if anything happens to him.

Girls, let's get ahead. We'll play with you guys..!!".
