JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Goodbye Kotaraja Kawali

Although his mouth said no, but honestly Dewi Rengganis was so jealous to see the closeness of Jaka Umbaran and Putri Padmadewi. Yes, the name is also female, very clever to hide their own feelings.

"Well, if not jealous..

Then I'll stay here in a few days. Surely Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri's daughter will be very happy hehehehe", Jaka Umbaran chuckled amusedly.

"Huhhhh...

Just be careful if Kakang Umbaran does it. I will not speak to you anymore", having said so, Dewi Rengganis immediately stepped out of her seat and stepped into the guest hall of honor that was their temporary residence.

"Hey the female base..

Another in the mouth, another in the heart. Really making a headache", muttered Jaka Umbaran while glancing towards the departure of Dewi Rengganis. Meanwhile, Nyai Larasati smiled meaningfully at the storm of these two young people.

"You have to be patient a lot to face the nature of Rengganis, Pendekar Gunung Lawu.

Since childhood, he I foster so that his life is not always threatened from danger. He has a slightly harsh nature due to his not-so-beautiful life experience" said Nyai Larasati immediately.

"What happened to the Rengganis in the past, Nyai? Please tell me everything", Jaka Umbaran looked at the face of Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel who immediately let out a long sigh before speaking. His eyes glared deep into the sky as if scraping at something he had long since paved for himself.

"His father was Prabhaswara, the son of Duke Lokananta of the ampeyan garwa (submarine). He was the half-brother of Duke Lokawijaya who became the current ruler of the Duchy of Paguhan. Prabhaswara is now a fugitive of the reign of Duke Lokawijaya in Paguhan. This was due to the incitement of Patih Pandusena who wanted to get rid of all the children of Duke Lokananta including Prabhaswara. For some reason, Patih Pandusena harmed all descendants of Duke Lokananta. That old Patih had a lot of cunning sense. He framed my best friend Prabhaswara by putting a letter that had something to do with Mpu Wiritanaya, a defector from the ruler of the Kali Luk Ulo Valley in the Pakuwon Panjer region who did not want to recognize Lokawijaya as the new Duke of Paguhan because Lokawijaya was considered not the legitimate child of Duke Lokananta. This problem made Prabhaswara forced to flee from the Duchy of Paguhan Palace to save the lives of his wife and children.

On the run, Prabhaswara left Dewi Rengganis for me to take care of after Prabhaswara's wife died on the run. According to the news I have heard, Prabhaswara fled to Panjer who was willing to take him in because Prabhaswara was the only surviving descendant of Duke Lokananta.

Therefore, this is the attitude of the Rengganis sometimes a little rude even though he actually blooded nobility. So I ask you to be able to hold back and guide Rengganis to later return as a gentle woman like royalty in general" concluded Nyai Larasati concluded the story.

Mmmmmm..

"His Rengganis was in a whirlpool of power struggles in the Duchy of Paguhan. He became a victim of the greed of the one who wanted to rule.

I already understand what I should do. Thank you for the explanation", said Jaka Umbaran while nodding in understanding.

Towards dusk, Jaka Umbaran faced Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri for a farewell. Hearing that, Crown Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri stroked his thick mustache.

"I cannot prevent your departure, Pendekar Gunung Lawu. Honestly, I also want you to stay in this place to help me keep Kotaraja Kawali safe. However, I also know that you have your own interests.

I always pray to Hyang Akarya Jagat that you will always be in his protection. The door of Kawali palace will always be open for you to return" said Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri soon.

"Thank you for the kindness of Gusti Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri. Then allow the servant to retreat to prepare everything. Tomorrow morning, the servant will leave this palace", after saying so, Jaka Umbaran immediately saluted Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri before inching back to leave the main porch of the residence of the crown prince of Galuh Pakuan Kingdom.

From behind the side door of the residence, there was a pair of beautiful eyes of a beautiful girl glazed over hearing the conversation.

Dusk continues to rise in the sign with the increasingly reddening of the western sky. Hundreds of bats are flying for food. The birds of the day have returned to their nests. Slowly the night began to envelop the entire Kotaraja Kawali region.

After dinner, Jaka Umbaran immediately returned to his bedroom room. He deftly tidied up a few pieces of new clothes he bought in the large market area. In addition to some gifts given by Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri, he packed it in a bundle of black cloth.

The night keeps moving up. Finished tidying up his clothes, Jaka Umbaran intends to rest. As is the custom at Watu Bolong Hermitage first, this young swordsman always mediates while processing his creativity, taste and character to hone his inner knowledge skills to be more qualified. A moment later he was drowning in a medley.

The sound of crickets and grasshoppers that sounded unpretentious from the lush flowers in the sari park near where it stopped. The sensitive ears of Jaka Umbaran approaching the sound of very light footsteps were approaching his bedroom window.

With one quick and light movement, Jaka Umbaran immediately shot to the roof frame of the building. Slowly he revealed the dried leaves of the reeds that became the roof of the house and then once snapped, his body came out of the roof of the building almost without sound. He immediately landed on the top of the building and looked around. His sharp eyes saw a shadow figure was creeping closer to his bathroom window.

Seeing that, once Jaka Umbaran's body motion slid down beside the black shadow figure and directly attacked him.

Whuuggaghh!!

Plllaaaakkkkk dhhaaaassshhh!!

"Gus-Gusti Princess Padmadewi??!

Why are you settling.hmmmppfff"

Not having time to continue the conversation, his mouth was immediately silenced with his mouth by a black shadow figure who was none other than Princess Padmadewi. At first Jaka Umbaran was about to refuse, but for a long time he resigned to enjoy a kiss of red lips blushing the princess of Crown Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri.

Long enough they kissed until Princess Padmadewi released her kiss on the Swordsman of Mount Lawu. After that, Putri Padmadewi took Jaka Umbaran's hand to enter the room but the young swordsman immediately held him back.

"Where are you going Gusti Putri?"

"I will give my honor to you Akang Umbaran. So that after you leave, you will never be able to forget me" said Princess Padmadewi with teary eyes. The pretty girl's eyes looked swollen. Maybe because she had been crying for a long time.

Hearing that answer, Jaka Umbaran smiled sweetly while shaking his head.

"No way, Princess Gusti. Only your legitimate husband can touch you later. I must not damage you just because of lust for a moment" said Jaka Umbaran softly.

"But but I..."

"Want to be my wife? I still can not settle for now Gusti Putri Padmadewi. I still have to complete the task from my teacher before searching for the whereabouts of my parents figure around the Kotaraja Daha region.

If later the Great God betroth us, there will be a way", hearing the answer, Princess Padmadewi spoke immediately.

"I will join you in completing your task and look for your parents, Akang Umbaran. Allow me to come with you wherever you go", Jaka Umbaran shook his head quickly while smiling meaningfully.

"My path is very dangerous, Gusti Putri. I don't know what my way forward is like. For now, I can't protect everyone. Therefore, it is better Gusti Putri Padmadewi while staying in the palace. Later, if the Gods allow it, there will surely be a way for us to be together again.

There's a headband I always wear. Hold this thing if you miss me one day, Gusti Putri.

Now go back to your bed, Gusti Putri. It is night, it is not good for a girl to wander alone at this time" said Jaka Umbaran with a sweet smile.

A little disappointed by this, Princess Padmadewi nodded weakly. Inevitably, he had to accept the fact that he did not have enough martial skills to accompany the perilous journey of Jaka Umbaran. Therefore, now he is determined to learn the science of kanuragan so that later he will be able to compensate the ability of this man of his heart. Shortly before disappearing behind the door, Princess Padmadewi stared at the handsome face to see the man she loved leaving. Holding tightly the black headband in his right hand, he returned towards his bedroom.

The night kept crawling up. There are several pairs of eyes that are difficult to close, for some reason. By morning, the rain that had not fallen for a long time, flushed Kotaraja Kawali. Although not so swift but enough to remove dust. The sky became cloudy with the cold air. Inside her bedroom, Princess Padmadewi stared outwards. His mind was empty somewhere. The weather today really represents his feelings.

That morning, Jaka Umbaran's small entourage left Kotaraja Kawali. After exiting Kotaraja Kawali and crossing the Cipakancilan river which is a tributary of the Citanduy River, they arrange the river to the south. Passing through several women such as Selamanik and Kertabumi are also some small forests along the south bank of the Cipakancilan River, which is also located in the south bank of the Cipakancilan River, they entered the Pakuwon Banjar Pataruman region which is one of the easternmost regions of Galuh Pakuan Kingdom before crossing to Paguhan region which entered the Panjalu Kingdom.

In this small town, they immediately looked for a place to spend the night after hearing the news that the Citanduy River was overflowing and could not cross. In one of the inns on the east side of Pakuwon City Banjar Pataruman, they stayed.

As they entered the Pakuwon City of Banjar Pataruman, two pairs of eyes kept an eye on their journey. When the group of Jaka Umbaran entered the inn called Taruma Inn, they immediately turned towards a house located in the southern area of Pakuwon Banjar Pataruman.

A bald-headed middle-aged man with white hair around his ears, crooked-nosed tip like the beak of an eagle was sitting with some of his friends. It was seen that the middle-aged man dressed in black and dark blue was the leader of the gathering group of people. When the two men arrived, their conversation immediately came to a halt. The bald-headed man immediately asked them.

"What's wrong? Why are you guys here? Aren't you guys I assigned to spy on the movements of Galuh Pakuan's soldiers?", asked the bald-headed man immediately.

"Even the Bald Eagle..

We thought you'd be more interested in killing the man who made our army lose the attack the other day", hear the report, see, The Bald Eagle, the former right hand of the Black Horn that managed to escape, immediately rose from his seat.

"Who are you talking about? Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri?!", the Bald Eagle asked. The spy quickly picked up on the talk, though,

"No, he's not Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri. But he is, however,

The man who killed the Black Straw!"
