JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Jealous

Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri smiled faintly at the words of the Swordsman of Mount Lawu. While wiping the remaining blood coming out from the corner of his lips, the crown prince of Galuh Pakuan Kingdom sheathed back his sword. That butute sword had been his mainstay weapon for decades.

"Thank you very much Pendekar Gunung Lawu..

Uhukkk uhukk... Now is the time to clean up the traitors of this country lest there be any left" said Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri as he turned to the fighting that continues to rage in the western region of Kotaraja Kawali.

"Everybody listen to orders!!

Don't let these rebels have anything left. Kill them all!!!"

The loud cries of the crown prince who was being energized at a high level were heard at every corner of the battle point. The soldiers of Galuh Pakuan were more eager to win the war especially when they saw the rebel leader, the Black Hornet, had been killed. They are like a fidelity to slaughter the rebels who are increasingly cornered.

One by one the bodies of the Black Jerangkong-led rebels began to collide with lives lost. Although on the side of the soldiers Galuh Pakuan itself also many casualties, but it was comparable to the defeat of the rebels led by Black Stronghold.

The Bald Eagle, one of the surviving rebel elders, realized that they were already unlikely to be able to win the battle immediately shouted out loud.

"BACK OFF!! QUICK RETREAT...!!"

Hearing that, the rebels began to move towards the outside of Kotaraja Kawali. Their number of no more than 1000 people moved towards the west. Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri led Galuh Pakuan's forces to keep up the pressure on the remaining rebels.

Dewi Rengganis and Nyai Larasati rampage along with Buyut Wangsanaya. Dozens of people died at their hands. Resi Wangsanaya transformed into a large white tiger and continued to pounce on the rebels with his deadly claws and bite.

Meanwhile, the Wisa Tread of Mount Saba that was darting rapidly towards the Blue Devil with its ultimate study to end the old swordsman's resistance, the old warrior, losing his concentration when the Bald Eagle who is the right hand of the Black Crotch ordered to retreat.

Amidst his indecision, a bluish-white light as the thumb of a human hand shot rapidly towards his chest.

Cllaaaassshhhhh!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!

Not yet had Ajian Tapak Wisa Serpent Earth hit the body of the Blue Devil who was helpless, the chest of the Wisa Tread of Mount Saba had broken through first. Fresh blood spurted out of the big hole the size of the thumb of his hand that was on the left chest of this swordsman. He collapsed to the ground and died with his chest pierce through his back. The Blue Devil who was originally resigned to death who would pick him up, gawking at the sight of it all. He immediately turned to the origin of the attack and found Jaka Umbaran who was protecting Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri smiling at him.

In the time of rice, finally the rebels from the Mandala area of Tanjung Sengguruh were defeated. Although there were some people who managed to escape, but most of them were killed by Galuh Pakuan soldiers. Cheers full of happiness were heard from the soldiers who managed to win the war.

Soon after, the Galuh Pakuan soldiers cleaned the affected areas of the war. The bodies of the enemy were immediately transported out of the city to a forest in southwestern Kotaraja. There they burned him so as not to become a nest of disease. While the Galuh Pakuan soldiers who died as heroes they buried in the cemetery outside the city with the help of the residents of Kotaraja Kawali.

As for the burning house, the residents were evacuated to the residence of officials who lived in Kotaraja Kawali. All of them are working together in the face of this great disaster.

Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri immediately invited Jaka Umbaran and his friends to stay at his residence. Among them, only the Red Devils Tunggulherang died in this war. Sanjaya the Blue Demon could still be helped despite suffering quite severe internal injuries. Dewi Rengganis was exhausted and Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel was quite drained in her battle this time. Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri himself was also deeply wounded and Buyut Wangsanaya soon acted as his personal healer to treat his internal injuries. Only Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja still look healthy even though they are also exhausted.

It was the longest day in Kotaraja Kawali's history.

For almost a week, Kotaraja Kawali continued to improve after the uprising failed. Mangkubumi Ranayasa deployed most of the soldiers to hunt down the remnants of the rebels who managed to escape. The selected Nunambursi, hunting them up to the border of Sunda and Panjalu.

During that time, Jaka Umbaran and his friends lived in the palace of the crown prince of Galuh Pakuan Kingdom. At the direct request of the prospective successor to the throne of the Kingdom of Galuh Pakuan, they lived there temporarily.

The relationship between Nararya Padmadewi and Jaka Umbaran is also getting closer. Every day, the crown prince's eldest daughter always came to the residence of Jaka Umbaran to just send food or snacks. The princess was willing to plunge directly into the kitchen of the crown prince's palace to prepare food for the young swordsman.

This did not escape the attention of Nararya Citradewi Sang Mayang Galuh. Nararya Padmadewi's mother also smiled faintly seeing it all.

Try to pay attention to our eldest daughter. Every day always enter the palace kitchen to make food for Pendekar Gunung Lawu. Does Akang Teh not have any thoughts about our daughter?", Nararya Citradewi told Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri, who was checking some notes at work.

"I'm not blind Dinda..

But as long as the relationship between them is only a friendship, I don't mind it. I also do not demean the dignity of Jaka Umbaran because my life is also the life of this entire palace remains until now, it is all because of him", said Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri with a faint smile.

"Eh Akang, where is there a pure friendship between a man and a woman? There must be something to watch out for.

Or maybe, should we just match them Akang? I saw Jaka Umbaran the good young man and Padmadewi were also old enough. Rather than being the subject of people's speech, the man thinks it is better to match them" said Nararya Citradewi Sang Mayang Galuh while looking at her husband's face.

"I am bound by an engagement promise with Kakang Prabu Bameswara in Panjalu, Dinda Citradewi. Long ago when I went to Galuh Pakuan, Kangmas Prabu Bameswara said that our descendants would have to remain united in marriage.

If there is no such thing, I do not mind at all with your intentions" Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri said immediately.

"Then, I'd better ask Prabu Bameswara. So don't we match our daughter with her son? Abdi Teh did not want her', if Padmadewi became a spinster", after saying so, Nararya Citradewi immediately shuddered away with a sullen face. Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri could only let out a long sigh as he looked away at the deep blue sky in the south.

Meanwhile, at his residence, Jaka Umbaran was sitting together with Nyai Larasati, Dewi Rengganis and Resi Simharaja. Buyut Wangsanaya had already returned to his home in Wanua Jalaksana 2 days ago after Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri recovered from his internal wounds.

"We have lived in this place long enough, Pendekar Gunung Lawu. It would be better if we leave here soon. I already miss the same place where I live in Paguhan" said Nyai Larasati while looking at the handsome face of Jaka Umbaran.

Not yet Jaka Umbaran replied, Putri Padmadewi came while holding a tray containing some processed food and a jug of drinking water. Dewi Rengganis was instantly sour on her face.

"Akang Umbaran, this Eneng tea bring processed steamed cassava mixed with coconut and palm sugar. Sok oruh akang try yes", said Putri Padmadewi while putting a tray to the middle of a small table in their seat.

"The Princess should not bother to deliver food to our place anymore. Tomorrow we will go from here", said Dewi Rengganis a little ketus.

Hearing that, mimic the beautiful face of Princess Padmadewi immediately changed. The eldest daughter of Crown Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri turned to Jaka Umbaran.

"Is that so Akang Umbaran?", asked Princess Padmadewi immediately. Suddenly, the pretty girl's eyes were glazed over. It was as if he was about to lose the most precious thing in his life.

"We've had a long time to trouble Kawali's palace, Gusti Putri. You can't stay here forever. It seems like tomorrow we have to go home to our home region", replied Jaka Umbaran with a long sigh.

"The evil one!"

Princess Padmadewi immediately ran away from the place. Her tears spilled no longer. She really could not accept the fact that her loved ones would leave her. Meanwhile, Jaka Umbaran heaved a heavy sigh while staring at the departure of the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri.

"It looks like Kakang Umbaran is not willing to leave this place. Do not-don't Kakang Umbaran have started to like the spoiled princess?", the spicy satire of Dewi Rengganis makes Jaka Umbaran immediately wake up from his daydream.

"Not really but I don't know...

Why did you suddenly say this, Rengganis? You are jealous?", a wide smile engraved on the handsome face of Jaka Umbaran that makes Dewi Rengganis more misbehaved. He really did not expect that his questions would turn around on himself.

With a reddened face like a boiled crab, Dewi Rengganis lowered her head deeply so that the tinge of red color on her face was imperceptible. Half nervous he replied,

"Ti-no, it's not at all Kakang.

I-I'm not jealous..."
