JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Disturbances

Jaka Umbaran was a little surprised to hear the words that Prabhaswara had just said. Even if it is in the name of justice and truth, but rebellion or treason against the government is still considered as one of the actions to deviate from the rules. This could have caused misunderstandings in the government of the Kingdom of Panjalu. Prabhaswara rebellion can be considered undermining the authority of Maharaja Panjalu because it disrupts the peace of other Panjalu people.

"Why should I rebel against the Duke of Lokawijaya, Uncle Prabhaswara?

Is there no better way? Reporting this problem to the Government of Kotaraja Daha for example.", said Jaka Umbaran while staring at the face of the real father of Dewi Rengganis.

"That problem was once thought of by me, Pendekar Gunung Lawu. But so far, Lokawijaya and the courtiers of Paguhan Duchy who supported him have a good image in front of Prabu Bameswara. It will be very difficult to convince them that Paguhan is now in trouble. I was afraid, not that I got justice but instead got suspicion from Kotaraja Daha Palace.

I better rebel first. After successfully getting rid of my half-brother Lokawijaya, I will go to Kotaraja Daha to explain the matter to Gusti Prabu Bameswara himself" said Prabhaswara with fiery enthusiasm.

"I still do not understand what is meant by the politics of the palace, Uncle Prabhaswara..

It is possible that the war will be the last way out if the word agreement is not reached. But as I have experienced some time ago, war will only cause the suffering of the people" said Jaka Umbaran later.

"I don't like war either, Umbaran..

But I also will not retreat from the seizure of the throne of the Duchy of Paguhan which has been unlawfully taken from me and the children of Kanjeng Romo Duke of Lokananta.

Oh yes, on the third day of this eighth month, right on the day of Hanggara Kasih, I will gather with my brothers and sisters to face the criminals who have occupied the Duchy of Paguhan Palace. If you don't mind, I'm asking you to join me in taking my property", Prabhaswara stared at the handsome young man.

"I need some time to think, Uncle Prabhaswara..

There's still about a week ahead before uncle's big plans are done, isn't there? I hope uncle understands", said Jaka Umbaran politely.

Prabhaswara, who was about to respond to the young swordsman's words, immediately closed his mouth tightly when he saw Rengganis and Nyai Larasati stepped into the porch of the beautiful woman's residence. However, this is not yet the time for Goddess Rengganis to know what her father will do.

That night, they got together while sharing stories about the life they had lived.

The next day, Jaka Umbaran who had completed the topo ngrame of the master Maharesi Siwamurti, lived in the Orange Orchid Valley along with Resi Simharaja, Nyai Larasati and Dewi Rengganis. The relationship between her and Dewi Rengganis was getting closer. While Prabhaswara repeatedly left in the morning to finish his business but always returned to the place by late afternoon.

Towards the promised day of the third day, Prabhaswara again met Jaka Umbaran to ask the handsome young man's ability to help him reclaim the throne of the Duchy of Paguhan.

Although a little reluctant, but finally Jaka Umbaran willing to help his lover's father on the condition that there is no war if not forced. Prabhaswara responded with great joy. However, the additional strength of a regulator of the central region of the Jawadwipa Land martial world is certainly not something that can be taken lightly.

Dewi Rengganis himself finally knew his father's grand plan. Together with Nyai Larasati the Angel of the South Wind, he also wanted to join his father's supporters who had been on standby in the south of Paguhan City which is located south of Mount Agung (Mountain Slamet now) precisely in a small forest called Alas Wuluh.

That morning, the fourth day of Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja lived in the residence of Nyai Larasati, along with Dewi Rengganis and Si Bidadari Angin Selatan, who were also known as Dewi Rengganis, they left the Orange Orchid Valley towards the North precisely the area of Alas Wuluh. Prabhaswara had already left the Orange Orchid Valley to prepare everything. Using the horses, they moved swiftly towards that prepared meeting place. They followed the edge of Serayu Kali. Towards noon, they entered Pakuwon Menganti City which is one of the buffer areas of Paguhan Duchy City.

This small town is very crowded. Many people passed by in escorts by some soldiers transporting goods with wooden carts. It seems they are Paguhan Duchy people who are carrying tribute and produce from Pakuwon Menganti.

In a food stall on the side of the road, the smell of fragrant cuisine that billowed along with the smoke of the furnace provoked the attention of Jaka Umbaran and friends. Their stomachs were rumbling after riding for half a day, making Jaka Umbaran immediately pull the reins of his horse.

"We stop here.. Time to fill the stomach" said Jaka Umbaran who was greeted with a nod of the head from his friends.

They got off their horses and tied the reins to the horses beside the courtyard of this food stall. It looks like some people have also filled some places in the dining room. Everyone who was there, immediately turned to the entourage of Jaka Umbaran who had just entered the dining room room. Some people refocused their attention on their own food, while a pair of large tall male eyes widened when he saw who was coming.

"Kanjeng Majikan Ndoro Pendekar, I finally met you huhuhuhu..."

The big tall young man who was none other than Gendol, immediately rushed to welcome the arrival of Jaka Umbaran and his friends. Jaka Umbaran immediately smiled broadly.

"I have sworn allegiance to Kanjeng Majikan Ndoro Pendekar..

When the letter from Tabib Sakti Berkangan Satu arrived at Golok Sakti University, the students of Padepokan Bukit Katong decided to go home first. Together with Niluh Wuni and Sekar Kantil, they immediately returned to Mount Pamarihan. I did not want to go with them and chose to look for the whereabouts of Ndoro Pendekar. I've been wandering around looking for Ndoro Pendekar to all corners of Paguhan Duchy. Ah the Great God is still generous to me by bringing us together", Gendol wiped the rest of the tears that had dripped from his eyes so naturally with the meeting with Jaka Umbaran.

"Hehehehe that's me, Ndoro Swordsman..

Eh old tiger, you keep Ndoro Swordsman as long as I am not there well is not it?", Gendol turned his attention to Resi Simharaja who just stay behind Jaka Umbaran.

"Huh who do you call an old tiger, teeth are rare?!

There is no you, next to Ndoro Umbaran feels very calm. Not even a rice cooker you're here, it's been fishing a ruckus. The culprit!", muttered Resi Simharaja while throwing her face in the other direction.

"Eh uh, not even 2 full moon is not with me, you start smart talking apparently old tiger..

Now I'm not afraid of you anymore. If you want to try my new style that I learned from Golok Sakti College, come here.. Not thump your head with my twin mace", said Gendol did not want to lose.

"You...."

"Heh, that's enough! Don't fuss yourself at the food stall. My stomach is hungry and I would hate to see a commotion like this. Shut up you two and we have lunch first", Jaka Umbaran immediately stepped towards an old servant who was standing next to the kitchen door. Seeing that, Gendol and Resi Simharaja fight to pursue his master. While Dewi Rengganis and Nyai Larasati only shake their heads to see the actions of the two people.

"Servant, give me the most delicious food in this shop. The price issue is not a problem" said Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"Ndoro Good. We will prepare soon. Please sit in whatever place Ndoro likes", replied the waiter kindly.

Jaka Umbaran group chose to sit at the dining table in the corner of the food stall room. While waiting for their order to arrive, each sipped a pot of water in a jug. The cold water was enough to refresh their tired bodies after a day of riding.

Before long, the waiter came with a tray containing 5 roasted chicken and a white rice. Not to forget there is also pickled cucumber and basil leaves as a complement to the dish along with the hot terasi sambal. The fragrant smell of this food immediately makes them eat their food that is hungry.

When Jaka Umbaran and his friends were busy enjoying their food, from the entrance of the food stall a young man with a strong body in good clothes like a noble entered along with some of his followers. One of them was a burly middle-aged man with one eye covered with a cowhide blindfold.

The young man immediately spread his gaze around the place. When he saw the beautiful Goddess Rengganis chewing on the thighs of roasted chicken while joking with Jaka Umbaran and Gendol, the young man gave a small grin. He immediately stepped closer to the dining table of Jaka Umbaran and his friends.

"Wah wah, it turns out there is an angel from kahyangan is having lunch at this food stall.

Nisanak, may I meet you?!"

Hearing that remark, everyone immediately stopped their meal. Everyone immediately turned to the source of the voice with displeased eyes.

"I'm sorry I don't want to meet anyone. Please go.", said Dewi Rengganis while continuing her meal.

The young man in luxurious clothes immediately snorted coldly restraining his anger. All this time no one dared to behave like that to him. Furious, he pointed towards Goddess Rengganis as he said,

"Basar wimp. Do you really live in the cave to dare to humble me, Bairawa, son of Akuwu Menganti this ha?

You really don't know yourself..!"
