JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Prabhaswara Plan

Dewi Rengganis fell silent at the teacher's reply. However, he was very young when Prabhaswara was forced to leave him to Nyai Larasati. The memory of his past life was only vague, even the figure of the woman who had given birth to him could not be remembered with certainty. Only a silver necklace with a gold pendant carved with a chrysalis flower is left from the memory of the mother who has died. While the figure of the father who left on Nyai Larasati for foster care, only vague in memory. He only remembered that his father was a handsome man with a thick moustache and a shady look in his eyes.

Old Goddess Rengganis stared at the old face of Prabhaswara. He continued to try to find similarities between the figure of the middle-aged man in front of him with the father in his memory. Suddenly, tears rose in the eyes of Dewi Rengganis which then immediately spilled into tears.

"Kanjeng Rome....!!!"

The goddess Rengganis immediately hit Prabhaswara's burly body. Although it is old, but its figure still remains as it was when it was young. Prabhaswara immediately welcomed the longing embrace of the princess he had long left behind.

"My daughter...

Forgive me for not being able to take care of you until you grow up like this", said Prabhaswara as he clutched the princess. There were no tears flowing from the corner of this middle-aged man's eyes. There was a longing for years that he had to endure so that the princess survived without feeling the suffering she was experiencing.

Dewi Rengganis did not answer the father's words, but continued as much as he hugged his father's body. There were millions of feelings that he wanted to express to his father, but he was unable to express. Only tears kept flowing out.

The heartwarming sight left everyone speechless. Jaka Umbaran, Nyai Larasati and Resi Simharaja seemed to provide a space for the father and son to let go of longing after almost 15 years without meeting.

After quite spilling all the yearning in his heart, Prabhaswara immediately let go of the princess' embrace. The middle-aged man looked at the beautiful face of his beautiful daughter despite being filled with tears on her cheeks. With a meaningful smile, Prabhaswara immediately wiped the remaining tears that were still visible in the corner of the princess's eyes.

"You've grown into a beautiful girl, Rengganis. It is very similar to your mother" said Prabhaswara with a faint smile.

"Kanjeng Romo why leave me alone with the teacher? Does kanjeng romo not love me? Hicks.."

Hearing that answer, Prabhaswara shook his head slowly.

"You must not misunderstand. I had to leave you to Larasati so that you could survive the pursuit of the Paguhan Duchy soldiers against me and my family. Your mother had to lose her life to save you. I, who did not know what to do to save you, was forced to leave you to be cared for by Larasati even though I love you very much my son.

Later, I'll tell you everything. Romo promised to tell you everything you want to know. Now look, everyone is waiting for us" Prabhaswara said immediately. Goddess Rengganis was immediately aware that not only he and his father were in that place.

"Larasadis..

Where are you all going? I want to talk to you but not here" said Prabhaswara as he looked towards Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel who was still standing looking at the blue atmosphere.

"Actually I intend to return to the Orange Orchid Valley in the west of Kali Serayu, Kakang Prabhaswara.

But if you still want to be with your daughter, I wouldn't mind if I had to go with your goal" Nyai Larasati replied immediately.

Mmmmmm..

We better get there. Safer than this place. Before dusk we can reach the Orange Orchid Valley if we leave now" Prabhaswara replied as he nodded in understanding.

"Oh yes, introduce this is Jaka Umbaran and his loyal companion, Resi Simharaja. The two of them have been together with me and Rengganis since in Kali Gung Valley.

He also saved your daughter's life. So you should also be kind to her", Nyai Larasati smiled meaningfully. Seeing that, Prabhaswara glanced towards Goddess Rengganis. Seeing the beautiful face of Rengganis who blushed in embarrassment, the middle-aged man immediately understood that there was a special relationship between his daughter and this handsome young man in dark brown clothes.

Mmmmmm..

"Have you Jaka Umbaran who yesterday defeated the Red Kalong God, young man?", asked Prabhaswara immediately. Apparently news related to the election of the regional regulator of the martial world has spread widely throughout the entire land of Jawadwipa.

"I'm just lucky Uncle Prabhaswara. It just so happens that the Red Kalong God is a little careless and less vigilant, so I can drop it", replied Jaka Umbaran humbly.

Let's get to the Larasati residence. It's still day.."

Now with the addition of Prabhaswara, the small group again continued the journey. Prabhaswara rode with the princess. The five of them immediately rushed towards the east.

After passing through several women and Pakuwon in the Duchy of Paguhan region, by late afternoon the five of them reached the banks of Kali Serayu called the Orange Orchid Valley which became the residence of Nyai Larasati the Angel of the South Wind which is now the regulator of the southern region of the martial world.

They soon entered a log house that was as big as an adult's arm. This wooden-walled house with a roof of dry reeds and palm shingles looks clean and dustless even though several months have been left behind by Nyai Larasati and Dewi Rengganis. Some plants and flowers planted still look fresh. It was here that Dewi Rengganis spent her childhood under the care of Nyai Larasati.

A young woman in mediocre clothes walked over while carrying firewood appeared to emerge from the side of the house. Seeing his arrival, Nyai Larasati smiled widely.

"Sari ..

Apparently you took care of my house as long as I wasn't around. Did Bendol ask you to do it?", asked Nyai Larasati immediately.

"Hehehehe, I was not ordered by Juragan Bendol Nyai..

Nyai has helped me a lot and the residents outside this valley so it is appropriate if I also help Nyai back even though only with the brute strength I have. After all, I already have no one, so it would not hurt if I live while in your place is not Nyai?", said the young woman named Sari.

"When you want, you can stay here, Sari..

If you really want to stay, help me prepare drinking water for my guests. You're willing, aren't you?", hearing that answer, Sari immediately nodded in understanding while smiling widely. The village girl immediately put the firewood ties on her back and rushed towards the kitchen. Meanwhile Jaka Umbaran and his friends stepped into the porch of Nyai Larasati's residence together.

Nyai Larasati, Dewi Rengganis and Sari were soon busy preparing food for their dinner while Jaka Umbaran, Prabhaswara and Resi Simharaja sat talking in the porch of the house.

"I'm sorry if I was presumptuous, Uncle Prabhaswara.

Coincidentally we met so I could deliver a message from a friend", Jaka Umbaran immediately took out a black cloth bag from behind his shirt and gave it to Prabhaswara.

"What is this Pendekar Gunung Lawu?", asked Prabhaswara astonished while receiving the object given by Jaka Umbaran.

"Some time ago, I met an old man named Mpu Wanakerta. The old man in a dying state said that Uncle Prabhaswara was the real son of Duke Lokananta. He said before his death, it was proof that Uncle Prabhaswara was more entitled to the throne of the Duchy of Paguhan than Duke of Lokawijaya", said Jaka Umbaran immediately. Hearing that remark, Prabhaswara could not hide his surprise. He immediately opened the black cloth bag and found a letter written on the palm leaf.

In a letter written on behalf of Queen Banuwati, the Duchess of Lokananta, informing Patih Pandusena that she was pregnant after spending the night with him while Duke Lokananta was in the annual regal pisowanan in Kotaraja Daha. This is strong evidence that Duke Lokawijaya was not the legitimate child of Duke Lokananta, but an illegitimate child due to illicit relations with Patih Pandusena. After reading this letter, Prabhaswara immediately understood why Patih Pandusena had removed all the descendants of Duke Lokananta after the late Duke died. Apparently he wanted to sit his illegitimate son as the ruler of the Duchy of Paguhan.

"Right Pandusena, fucker Lokawijaya..!!

You two must bear the penalty for all your evil deeds. I am Prabhaswara, the legitimate son of Kanjeng Romo Duke of Lokananta will demand revenge for the death of my brothers and the evil treatment of you two for many years.

Finally, I obtained one more piece of hard evidence that I should immediately reclaim the throne of the Duchy of Paguhan. Thank you very much for your help, Jaka Umbaran", said Prabhaswara, holding the letter in his hand.

"What does Uncle Prabhaswara mean? I'm sorry I don't understand", Jaka Umbaran stared at the handsome face full of maturity Prabhaswara immediately. Hearing the question, Prabhaswara let out a heavy sigh before speaking in a low tone of voice,

"Actually, my goal in finding the existence of the Rengganis was as part of my grand plan. Together with Mpu Wiritanaya from Pakuwon Panjer region, I have compiled strength to fight the injustice experienced by the residents of Paguhan Duchy today. But before that happens, I want to meet my daughter Rengganis. Coincidentally, I who just returned from Pakuwon Kawunganten wanted to head North to seek support from the western community of Paguhan, instead saw Larasati together with you so I decided to follow you.

Just so you know, Pendekar Gunung Lawu, the,

I will rebel against Duke Lokawijaya.."
