JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
The Royal Capital of Galuh Pakuan

****

The relationship between Dewi Rengganis and Jaka Umbaran is getting closer and closer. After Jaka Umbaran saved his life, the heart of the beautiful woman from Paguhan region was completely owned by Jaka Umbaran. When there is an opportunity, Dewi Rengganis always try to be with young warriors who became famous in the martial world of Jawadwipa Land.

In Wanua Jalaksana only, some people have heard the big name Jaka Umbaran the Swordsman of Mount Lawu as a young swordsman who is able to defeat the Red Kalong God one of the martial world swordsman dedengkot which is quite respected by everyone. This news they get from the word of mouth starting from the warriors who witnessed firsthand the test of martial skills at the meeting of martial world warriors held in the Kali Gung Valley.

In a food stall located not far from the residence of Buyut Wangsanaya, it was seen that some people were enjoying the food they ordered at the food stall while chatting. And the hot topic that became the subject of their conversation this time was of course Jaka Umbaran and his football.

"Ah that's right, Ki Sundang..

I heard the story of my friend Pengakar Rajawali Galunggung College students as well. The Red Kalong God was indeed helpless against the young warrior even though at first many people including my comrades suspected that he would be the regulator of the middle region martial world. Jaka Umbaran was able to overturn all the thoughts of the people until many people felt still in disbelief even though they saw with their own eyes", said a young man of short stature with a thin mustache. The old man whom he referred to as Ki Sundang nodded in agreement.

"You're right Waruga..

I myself sometimes still doubt the ability of Jaka Umbaran martial arts. Although he was young, but now I became convinced that this young warrior was indeed worthy to become the regulator of the central region. The latest news that I heard was so convincing to me", Ki Sundang, a middle-aged man with a burly make-up like a merchant, immediately stroked his beard.

"What's the latest news you got Ki?

As an inter-regional trader, of course you get the news faster than all of us here" said another young man who joined in their chat.

"Two days ago, my friend traded rice to Pakuwon Caruban. There was news that Lord Guru Resi Atmabrata, the supreme leader as well as the great teacher of Astanaraja had been killed. You know for yourself what an old man is.

At first my friend did not believe what he heard but when a student of Astanaraja Deity bought his merchandise, the student of Astanaraja Teacher confirmed the news. Guess who killed him? Jaka Umbaran!"

HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH?!!!!

Everyone in the food stall was surprised instead of playing at Ki Sundang's words. They had all of course heard of the power of Lord Master Resi Atmabrata which was unmatched by warriors especially around the northern region of Galuh Pakuan Kingdom. For several decades, it is said that only the Dark Poison Hyang alone is able to fight equally with the leader of Astanaraja's school.

"Didn't you hear Ki Sundang wrong? Lord Master Resi Atmabrata was killed by Jaka Umbaran?!

How powerful was that person to be able to defeat the warrior king in this region? How does it exist? I was really curious", Waruga the slightly short-bodied young man with a thin mustache was flabbergasted in disbelief.

"I heard his height of about 2 spears, his handsome face with a thick mustache was also his large and muscular body. When he is angry, a pair of short horns will appear on his head", said the young man named Bongoh who had been participating in the chatter Ki Sundang and Waruga.

"You don't just talk about it!!

Where does a mandraguna master swordsman have such a sinister embodiment? You're here" snapped Waruga who was annoyed with Bongoh making up.

"What I heard, Jaka Umbaran was that the person was young, handsome and tall about as shallow as a spear eye (approximately 175 cm now), his body was sturdy and dashing and often used simple clothes", he said", contact Ki Sundang immediately.

At the same time, Ki Renyep, the broomstick of Tabib Sakti Berkangan Satu family residence, was assigned to buy some food at the food stall entering the place. The middle-aged man immediately frowned while thinking hard when he accidentally heard their chatter.

'Are they talking about Den Jaka Umbaran who now lives in the house of Tabib Sakti?

Is he really so powerful mandraguna? Looking at his mediocre appearance with such shabby clothes, it seemed impossible. But its features are similar to those spoken of by the cloth merchant'

When Aki Renyep was still busy with her own thoughts, suddenly Jaka Umbaran and Dewi Rengganis crossed the road in front of the food stall. It seemed that the two of them had just finished washing clothes in a small river by the road not far from the place. This is seen on Dewi Rengganis who was carrying a bamboo basket containing some wet clothes while Jaka Umbaran walked beside him while carrying a catfish that he got.

"Eh Aki Renyep, shopping at the stall huh?"

The question immediately made Aki Renyep wake up from her daydream and turn to Jaka Umbaran and Dewi Rengganis.

"Aki's Habits.. Want to also eat grilled fish so look into the small river there..

Let's Aki, I go first", Jaka Umbaran nodded before stepping away from the place along with Dewi Rengganis. The two rushed towards the direction of the Buyut Wangsanaya residence.

"Eh Ki Renyep, who are those two people? It's not the guy here it looks like ", Bongoh asked immediately.

"That's Ngoh, Den Jaka Umbaran same Dewi Rengganis. Both of them are guests who treat Buyut Wangsanaya.

Atuh kunaon?", asked Aki Renyep a little surprised by the question asked by Bongoh.

"Jaka Umbaran?!

Ki Sundang, Waruga, did you hear Aki Renyep's talk just now? The young man who just passed by said his name was Jaka Umbaran.. Maybe he is the same person we talked about" Bongoh said immediately.

"He or not, certainly not to make trouble with a person named Jaka Umbaran, Ngoh..

He is not someone we can offend at will" Ki Sundang said as he again chewed boiled cassava in front of him. Everyone immediately agreed with the opinion of Ki Sundang.

After two days of staying at the Buyut Wangsanaya house, on the third day Jaka Umbaran along with Resi Simharaja and Nyai Larasati and Dewi Rengganis intend to say goodbye to the owner of the house. Guru Ekajati's rishi had first returned back to Mount Cakrabuana one day after Dewi Rengganis was successfully healed.

"Actually I have no objection to your request to return to the original place but I have a request for you and hope that you are willing to do so", said Buyut Wangsanaya The One-Handed Physician Sakti while staring at Jaka Umbaran and friends.

"Tell me frankly Tabib Sakti..

You have helped my students of course I will not mind if you can" replied Nyai Larasati immediately. Jaka Umbaran and Dewi Rengganis nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, I won't hesitate anymore. I want you all to accompany my trip to Kawali.

Honestly, I do not know what Gusti Putri Padmadewi's disease like. If it was still an ordinary illness, I wouldn't have thought twice about treating it. But if it is beyond my ability, then I also need help from Jaka Umbaran. The officials of that country I was a little worried, because if I failed to treat Gusti Putri Padmadewi's disease, I would definitely get into big trouble" Buyut Wangsanaya said with a look of eyes looking far ahead.

Hearing the honest talk of Buyut Wangsanaya, Jaka Umbaran nodded in understanding. From the beginning, this One-Handed Tabib Sakti stayed in Wanua Jalaksana only to be able to get the Wijayakusuma Flower as a complement to his medical science. But now, the heirloom belongs to Jaka Umbaran. Of course it's possible again to have her. Although there might be an opportunity to seize it, yet it reneged on his own conscience. So he had to accept this fact and ask for help to Jaka Umbaran because maybe the disease of Crown Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri's daughter is not an ordinary disease.

"I understand your predicament, Physician Sakti..

Then, we should leave immediately for Kawali. The sooner your business is in order, the sooner we can go back to where we came from. But please send the news to Perguruan Golok Sakti. Tell them I'm heading to Paguhan. Ask Mpu Dirgo to tell my fellow students to go home first to Mount Pamarihan. I am worried that my brothers and sisters will wait too long there" said Jaka Umbaran soon.

"I understand Pendekar Gunung Lawu. I'll prepare all the necessities to leave. We'll just ride faster.

For your message, dove a letter that will deliver it", after saying so, Buyut Wangsanaya immediately ordered his cantrik to prepare all the needs of their trip to Kawali.

After finishing, that afternoon they also left for Kawali. All of them rode horses including Resi Simharaja.

After leaving Wanua Jalaksana, the group continued to move towards the south. Passing Gandasuli, they entered the Mandala City Saunggalah where Prabu Resi Darmasikan reigned. After stopping by to buy some goods, the group immediately continued the journey towards Kawali.

By late afternoon, they had reached the banks of the Cisanggarung River precisely in a small village called Jagara. This small village looks very quiet, there is not a single speck of light house lights that look lit.

Buyut Wangsanaya The One-Handed Physician Sakti who poult with this area immediately scrunched his forehead to see the state of the village is quiet and without lighting even though soon night will soon arrive.

"Something's wrong with this place"
