*Blood Bride Swordsman (DPP)*
The Buangsetan Village. In the luxurious house of the late Demang Segara Gara.
A tile came to meet Nyai Demang in the backyard. Nyai Demang was alone sitting on the edge of the frog pond with his two smooth legs dangling into the water. Seemed a number of different types of frogs silent also in a number of pool stones, some even being married, making Nyai Demang hurt.
Not so far away on the back porch of the big house, it looks like Bendong and Ageng are together. They're not dating, don't believe the gossip! They were just talking about getting along.
“Nyai, there Gusti Adipati Bawel came to visit,” reported the citeng.
Ageng who watched over his master from afar, immediately came closer and listened to the report of the tile. He left Bendong who remained in place and looked from afar.
“Oh, yes,” Nyai Demang said weakly.
The beautiful woman, now a widow, lifted her feet out of the pool. Ageng immediately picked up a cloth and wiped Nyai Demang's beautiful calf.
“Thank you, Ageng. Next time let me do it myself,” said Nyai Demang softly while smiling.
Indeed, only this time Ageng did the deed. And wiping Nyai Demang's limbs was indeed no one who was specially assigned. Ageng did so solely for the sake of pleasing his mistress who was still in mourning.
Nyai Demang then walked away to enter the house. Ageng. While Bendong chose an alternative road to go to the front area of the house. At first glance caught on the camera screen, Ki Tobek was playing a swing on the right side of the house which is also spacious like a fine grassy garden. The grass is an ant, not an elephant grass.
Actually Ki Tearbek is not just a swing, but he is writing a book. I don't know what book? Certainly not holy book. He sat cross-legged on the swing board which then itself swung without being swung. Hopefully not misunderstood.
“Your father was a very nice man and a trustworthy office.”
Approaching the exit, Nyai Demang and Ageng heard the voice of Duke Bawel Semara who said to someone. From the sentence, it can be guessed that the Duke was talking to the daughter of the late Demang Segara Gara.
Finally Nyai Demang out to the terrace of the house wide like a small pendapa, very comfortable to do anything, such as sitting, lying down, rolling, until playing futsal was okay.
The only guests Campani was facing were Duke Bawel Semara and his second wife, Lilis Angir.
While in the courtyard there was a horse carriage and a number of soldiers standing while holding their horses.
Seeing the presence of Duke Bawel Semara and his wife, Nyai Demang immediately smiled, but small. Understandably, it is still a time of mourning. Moreover, Sabuntel's Loss that could comfort his heart was not on the side.
Seeing the appearance of Nyai Demang without make-up, but still beautiful original taste, Duke Bawel Semara first rushed forward to meet the hostess. He immediately grabbed both of Nyai Demang's hands without knocking on the door first.
Nyai Demang was just surprised without being able to resist.
“My wife and I mourn the terrible fate that befell your husband, Nyai,” said the Duke with a sad facial expression, with a heavy breath as heavy as his sin.
“Thank you, Gusti,” said Nyai Demang without feeling good to pull off his hand.
“Hopefully Nyai Demang...” Lili Angir docked to her husband's side and took over both hands of Nyai Demang from the control of the Duke of Bawel.
“Assem!” maki Adipati Bawel Semara was upset by the actions of his wife, but only in her heart.
His frustration is only visible from the glances of his eyes to the wife who is actually indifferent.
“Tabah and can go through this grief comfortably,” continued Lilis Angir who is slightly younger than Nyai Demang's age. However, for matters of beauty and body, Lilis Angir lost a landslide with a score of 0-3.
“Thank you because Gusti both took the time to come here. Come, please sit down, Gusti” Nyai Demang said.
Campani sits down to accompany guests.
“Please excuse me, Gusti. We are in a period of mourning ten days, so do not serve anything,” said Nyai Demang.
“Oooh, it's okay!” the Duke's cry was somewhat surprising to show the greatness of his soul.
“Campani, please look at Mother's vegetable cooking inside, it was ready to mature,” Nyai Demang told her daughter.
“Iya,” says Campani. Then he said to the Duke and his wife, “Sorry, I'm sorry, Gusti.”
“Yes, it's okay,” said the Duke while smiling to show the spaciousness of his chest without the need to open his chest, whereas in his heart he was disappointed.
Campani then rose and left the three parents. He went inside the house.
In the kitchen, Campani did not find any cooking on the stove. He who initially thought his mother had actually left the cooking in the kitchen, was finally able to strongly suspect the intent of his mother.
“Who attacked you?” dukip Bawel Semara asked pretending to be innocent.
“Name Group Killer Snake, Gusti. They're mercenaries. Surely Gusti knows about them?” nyai Demang.
“Oooh, no. I just heard the name of the criminal group this time. The Killer Serpent Group, huh? Hmmm...,” answered Duke Bawel quickly, then acted pretending to think.
Then he said again.
“Nyai need not worry, I will handle this case and conduct an investigation. Therefore, I apologize to Nyai, for the sake of investigation, while Demang's bronze and sugar business I took over first. I suspect, this is related to trade competition,” said Adipati Bawel Semara.
Nyai Demang just silently thought.
“Nyai Demang no need to worry. Surely Nyai wants to find out who actually paid the hit man. After it is revealed, the control of both efforts will be returned to Nyai,” said Duke Bawel.
“Yes, okay, Gusti. I hope Gusti quickly reveals who is behind the murder of my husband,” said Nyai Demang finally.
“And one more important thing, Nyai. It would be inappropriate if I told you this during this time of mourning. However, considering that it is not wasteful to have to go back and forth from Buntitan to Buangsetan, I want to apply for Campani as my fourth wife. Campani will be my last wife. After marrying her, I will not think of looking for another woman again,” said Adipati Bawel Semara with a tone that impressed carefully, in order to maintain the image.
“Please excuse me, Gusti. Did Gusti Adipati already get the Rainbow Eye Ring?” ask Nyai Demang.
“No. I think, with the death of Demang, the terms are no longer valid,” said Duke Bawel.
“Please excuse me, Gusti. The terms remain in place for anyone who wishes to apply for Campani. It has become a will from the husband of the servant,” said Nyai Demang.
In the novel “Rugi 1 Budiman” Marauder, it is said that Demang Segara Gara put up a condition for anyone who proposed to his daughter Campani, to bring an object named Rainbow Eye Ring. All applicants are confused. Although they had heard the name of the thing, but they did not know where to look and get it.
“Better the terms were removed only, Nyai. Campani has lost a father who can protect her. Having a man who can protect her is urgent for Campani. It would be nice if the terms of the application are made easier, or can be replaced by another. I think Gusti Adipati is willing to give a big dowry or something else. Because, Gusti Adipati very much fell in love with Campani. At home, Gusti Adipati always mention the name Campani, until I am tired of hearing it,” said Lilis Angir a little make up the story.
“Sorry once again, Kanjeng Gusti. I cannot betray my late husband's will,” Nyai Demang asserted.
“Haaah!” The Duke exhaled a loud breath a sign of his disappointment. “Alright, Nyai, if it is like that. We decided to go home so as not to get into trouble on the road. I'll come back later if there's anything I should ask in the investigation.”
“Good, Gusti,” said Nyai Demang with determination. He was not afraid that his rejection offended the man who should have been satisfied with the three wives. (BH)
