Knight Panji

Knight Panji
Second Meeting Tonight


Ahhh,, shit" Shouted Sakya to surprise the people next to him. He then looked at the glass and saw the poor look on his face.


Sakya, Panji, Cayya, Galih, and Oni were sitting on the ground panting out of breath and deep energy as a result of destroying the Wood Puppets.


"Look at my face so ugly, why should we hit the Wooden Doll blindly, otherwise my appearance would not be like this," Sakya complained as she repaired her luxurious hair and clothes. 


The others just shook their heads and laughed. "And why are you so quick to hit that wooden doll, making me so angry, look at my appearance" Sakya then pointed at Panji again with her fan after which as fast as lightning she aimed the fan and flicked it at her face. 


"Don't be childish" said Cayya while pulling Sakya's hair hard enough to make Sakya Kaget and rebuke her, "Don't pull my hair jerk, tidy it up properly". He hit Cayya Slow with the Fan he was holding. 


"Ahh don't mind him yet" Oni spoke up to take the gaze of Panji and Galih from Sakya.


"Owh yeah how are we going to sleep tonight" asked Galih. 


"What else you want, of course, to set up a tent here like the others," Sakya replied while pointing using his fan to some Participants who began to set up tents around them. 


"But I don't have a tent" Oni said


"Me too" answered Galih and Panji in unison.


Cayya just looked at Sakya with a sparkling and greedy look. "Why do you see me that?" Sakya asked who seemed to know what Cayya meant. 


"Take out your Treasure Storage Pouch" Cayya said with a command. "What the fuck I don't have a tent either" said Sakya, appearing to be lying from his facial expression. 


"Well if you don't have any, how else are we all just poor people, and we'll sleep on this cold ground" Cayya who was tying Sakya's hair winked her eyes at the calibre, The banner, and the Oni in front of him. They understood the meaning of the blink. 


"Yes you're right, because I'm so poor I'm used to sleeping on this ground" Oni lay on the ground and rubbed his cheeks against the ground.


"I remember my stepmother, who told me to sleep outside in the cold of the night, I also slept on the ground" Galih added, rolling over near Oni. 


"I was also used to sleeping outside when I slept in a tree, then Grandma would beat me with a Sweep and tell me to sleep properly, but it was a pity that my grandmother had died, I'm a kara"


They all looked at Panji and asked, "Your story is true?"


"Of course", answered the banner quickly. 


"Enough with your sad story" Sakya signaled with her hand to tell them to stop telling a sad story. 


When they were about to take out the Treasure Saving Pouch a voice from Senior Brama that the exam would be temporarily stopped and continued tomorrow morning, they could rest and eat.


The five of them were then approached by the Green-robed Man. "Can I join you, I'm alone,"


When Sakya is about to refuse, Panji instead agrees to the green-robed Man's request.


"Ahh shit additional burden again" said Sakya whispered softly to Cayya and got an elbow from Cayya. "Be quiet, your spicy congorm can't stop - look at the situation, he's a new person, control yourself" Omel Cayya said. 


Sakya also took out her Treasure Storage Pouch and will take out the tent. "Ahh you want to set up a tent yes, how about just use my tent, my tent is spacious and fit up to 10 people"


Hearing that the five of them were excited. Sakya also keeps his Treasure Pouch back.


When the Man took out the Treasure Storage Pouch, Sakya glanced at him slightly and was quite surprised. "Well the gold storage bag, you must be quite rich huh" Sakya said as he confirmed the fan.


"No, no, I actually took it from my father and brought it here" he said with a laugh.


The green-robed man also took out a large enough automatic tent from the storage bag. Sure enough inside the tent is very luxurious and can fit up to 10 people. There is some furniture for cooking as well, some chairs for sitting and 6 pieces of floor mattresses. Everything is well prepared. 


After that they began to prepare food, there was no suspicion of any of them to the green-robed man because even their own food that was prepared was impossible if anything happened. 


"Hey all of you, we forgot one thing" Panji said making them all turn their heads as if asking what they had forgotten. 


"We have not formally introduced ourselves" Panji said. "I don't know where you're from"


They sighed but then thought there was a point as well so they formally introduced themselves. 


"I'm Sakya Banaspati from the Linggar Family in Barito Village under the leadership of the Kingdom of Borneo"


"I am Cayya Mandaspati from the Linggar Family in Barito Village under the leadership of the Kingdom of Borneo"


"I'm Oni Bola'ang of the Bola'ang Family in Bolang Village under the Leadership of the Celebes Kingdom"


"I'm Damar Abhimanyu from the Abhimanyu Family in Kendal village under the Kingdom of Java Leadership" said the green-robed Man who gave the tent free of charge. 


"I am Panji Asmaraningrat from sukabumi village under the Leadership of Java Kingdom"


"You don't have a family?" Damar asks innocently and gets a plot from Sakya that he doesn't understand.


"Well, I only have a grandmother who raised me, my parents died after I was born" The pennant's face was a little somber and sad and she continued, "We're just poor people in the village don't have big families"


The atmosphere became a little awkward. "Ahh forgive me the banner I don't know, "Sincerely say mastic. "It's okay I just remember my grandmother so I'm a little sad"


"Well, enough with this sad story, let's eat, many of these dishes I'm cooking" said Sakya trying to divert them. 


"Well, you are fit to be a wife, not a husband" Damar said casually with a smile.


"You've got a lot of comments just eat there" Sakya's ears and face are a little reddish and there's a little smile on her face. I don't know what's on his mind. 


They also eat greedily after that they rest on the bed that has been prepared. 


His five friends had slept even Oni snoring and releasing his hands everywhere made Panji unable to sleep.


"Ahh shit I can't sleep, I'd better take a walk out".


Just as the banner opened its Tendra Curtain he was startled by Senior Brama who had somehow appeared from nowhere. 


"God Senior you really surprised me, almost I took the flute and hit you"


"Where are you going these nights like all the other participants sleeping you're awake?" Senior Brama asked as he patted Panji on the back until he coughed. 


"Haha it's okay Senior is just looking for fresh air so that the eyes get sleepy quickly"


"Let's tell you somewhere nice" Senior Brama asked Panji to come closer. Panji also heard his direction while looking at a place pointed by Brama. 


"Thank you Senior I'll leave now" Panji immediately moved in the direction pointed by Brama"


"Said Senior Bromo up here there is a beautiful small forest, ahh that's it" Not far above the Arena, there is a small Forest decorated with many glowing insects, fireflies of course. 


Sayup-sayup sounds The melodious melody of the harp. So melodious to attract attention, Panji's soul is calmer, he continues to approach the direction of the Kecapi melody. 


He then picked up his Flute and played it following the melodic strains of the lute, getting closer. 


The Kecapi Player also knows who has come since Panji set his feet in the small Forest belonging to the Kecapi Player. 


Seen in the distance of a small cottage, Panji saw the figure of a charming man who had met him this morning. He had not expected to see that man again here. He had changed his clothes in soft white. 


White-colored headbands were still tied in her hair, she was closing her eyes, for a moment the banner was fixated on the scene in front of her. 


A beautiful man playing a harp in a cottage surrounded by fireflies in a beautiful forest. 


He was about to leave but the man's voice stopped him, "Play your Flute with me".


Panji turned around and approached saying his apology "I'm sorry my senior…. "


Before continuing his words, Satria opened her eyes slowly and said, "Sit down near me and play your Flute"


Panji could not resist, he then sat on the edge of the bamboo hut, The beautiful Man's eyes closed back and his hands clamped the strings of the Kecapi which produced a harmonious tone with the Flute blown by the Panji. 


The music game lasted long enough that Panji lost his consciousness and almost fell down, fortunately caught by Satria. He then carried her up and carried her on the bed in the Bamboo house, laying the banner there. 


"The melody was called a soul tranquilizing sleep melody, if you're tired this melody is very good for making you sleep fast" Satria said gently next to Panji who was falling asleep.
