My 100th Secretary's
No Baratayudha War

House of Raj and Gemintang Rao

Bayu and Raj enjoy the surgeon's pull tea with rolled bread and goat curry. Hazel, an assistant and who is also a Gemintang home chef, is already good at making various Indian dishes from recipes given by Bitti Rao, Raj's mother.

"Enak curry Raj" praise Bayu who is actually all eaters but must keep the shape of his body.

"Mother's recipe. Hazel made it based on a typical Rao family recipe. When Gemintang got pregnant with triplets, she craved Indian food made by my mother and for a month my mother here. During that time, Hazel learns to cook according to my mother's recipe" Raj smiles.

"But it's delicious" said Bayu while putting the bread rolled curry sauce in his mouth.

"Thank God you like Bay."

"So, how's work in Brussels?" ask Bayu while sipping his pull tea.

"I don't think I want to move anymore, Bayu. Moreover, me and Gemintang are well established here and there are triplets, making us steady living in Brussels."

"There's a bang Sean and Mbak Zee here. At least a little nepotism could be Raj" teased Bayu.

"Haha... You're right but me and Gemintang remain professional about work, not bringing Mbak Zee or bang Sean. They have been preoccupied with the affairs of the kingdom so why do me and the Gemintang add to the hassles? As long as we can handle it ourselves, why not?" said Raj. "Out of Brussels, where are you Bay?"

"London and Manchester. I want to invite Ajeng to watch the opening game of Premier League Manchester United v Chelsea at Old Trafford."

"Have you booked the ticket? I think it's been sold pre-sale."

"Have a message to Jayde and got it too."

"You're really traveling around the world huh Bay" Raj cheered.

"Ten years I worked and I haven't taken my accrued major leave for nearly five months. So why don't I use it?" Bayu smiled at Raj. "Moreover I want to bring Ajeng a look and get closer to all my family."

"You're going home to Nadya and Omar are getting married?"

"Yup. Finally the mbeling boy (bad ) was married also to the man of his tribe..."

Raj laughed a little. "Nadya is different."

"Nadya is typical of the real Blair. There's no fear, but if you're already bucin, he'll be totality..."

"Such as you're Bay?" goda Raj's.

"Sort of me" kekeh Bayu. "I still have descendants of Giandra who said Oma Kaia was just as confused as Blair. But if it's Nadya, she's pure Blair. Surprised me... Her, Raveena, Raine ... Blair's nature is stronger."

"I don't really understand the Blair family but the Gemintang once showed you a second-to-fourth generation video of your family and indeed the Blair and Reeves families are the most messed up" Raj said.

"That's how... If you are contaminated, it becomes dilapidated... Well, it's supposed to be."

Raj.

"Seriously?" Raj stared at Ajeng in disbelief. "Arsyanendra thinks like that?"

"Arsya's laughing at Oom's teachings her kampret trio. All things must be questioned and proven logically and scientifically" answered Ajeng manyun. "When the name of mythology and saga is many things that do not all have an answer because all of it is magical."

"Yes, if the dialar is also not possible one neck bone supports ten heads. Must be like a squid or octopus has its own bones" said Gemintang.

"Either why I imagine it to be a science fiction film." muttered Bayu. "Imagine a sternum but there's a lot of collarbones supporting ten heads?"

Raj and Gemintang laugh out loud imagining something unreasonable. "Must be Frankenstein's doctor at Bay" said Raj.

"You are doctors. If all logic is used, no mythology can enter! Only his teachings should we take the good, the ugly, don't we?" Bayu stared at everyone in the living room.

"Lha yes. Kind of story Karna son of Dewi Kunti. This is a Javanese version adapted from the Indian Mahabarata" Ajeng said.

"You really like traveling ?" ask Gemintang.

"It's so happy ! Lots of good names there, lots of lessons we can learn, even I can only read sad stories..."

"What happened to Karna, the son of Dewi Kunti? He was the son of Dewi Kunti before marrying Pandu because of casting spells?" chirps Bayu.

"Wuuuiiiihhhh mas Bayu know too" cried Ajeng.

"Know little Jeng. Said Oma Kaia, Ogan Abhimanyu and Necan Dara really like puppet books and in the mansion there is Jeng. So I read it. Later you tease again, the name Jowo but do not know the wayang" Bayu quipped reminded Ajeng when they first met to make Ajeng widest.

"Yes my. What's the story, mbak? I kind of forgot.." Pinta Gemintang.

"In the first part of the Mahabharata or Adiparwa tells of a princess named Kunti who was one day tasked with hosting a guest priest of his father, namely Resi Durwasa. For the banquet, Durwasa was pleased and awarded Kunti a science of magic named Adityahredaya, a kind of spell to summon gods. One day, Kunti tried the spell after performing puja in the morning. He tried to concentrate on the god Surya, and as a result, the sun god appeared to give him a son, as was the function of the mantra pronounced Kunti. Kunti refused because he actually just wanted to try the efficacy of Adityahredaya. Surya stated unequivocally that Adityahredaya is not a toy. As a consequence, Kunti also contains. However, Surya also helped her immediately give birth to the baby. Surya returned to kahyangan after recovering his kema*wanan Kunti.

In Sanskrit the word karna means "ear". This has led to the myth that Karna was born through Kunti's ears. However, Karna can also mean "expert" or "skilled". May the name Karna be used only after Basusena or Radheya mature and master the science of archery perfectly... From there we can learn that do not mess with the science provided.." explained Ajeng. "After Karna was born, she was banished by Dewi Kunti."

"And as a result, after the Baratayudha war broke out, Dewi Kunti asked her eldest son to help her half-sisters, Yudhistira, to help her, Bimasena and Arjuna but Karna had sworn to defend Hastinapura and was appointed by the Kauravas to be the warlord who finally really happened one mother civil war. Finally Duke Karna was killed at the hands of Arjuna ... That's why I'm so impressed with your family. There is no struggle for power, names, property and women or men... Everything has to be done in a family manner..." Raj looked at Gemintang and Bayu.

"Because, we all learned from the Baratayudha War, Raj. What outcome? There isn't one, is there? All there is is is killing each other and the regret of a lifetime of losing a brother. This principle has been applied by Opa great-grandfather Arga Pratomo and Oma Buyut Ajeng Pratomo to his four children who will be the forerunner of all of us. We are Durjana, calling each other, yes. But we still get along and always help each other." Bayu smile while holding Ajeng's hand.

"Hopefully our children will be like us yes Bayu" Gemintang smile while hugging Raj.

"Aamiin's."
