RICH PRANAJA HEIR TO TIRTANALA
EPS 12 BACK YOUNG

COME BACK YOUNG

The babble of the shepherd boy is the joy of the wanderers, who find friends to share stories with. Because the heart itself will feel lonely, then who does not need a heart?

On the seventh day since the beginning of his hermitage, Panembahan Somawangi settled quietly in the lake. Roro Lawe checks it every time. During that time, the Goddess of Knowledge never left the place. Sometimes there was his sister Eyang Karangkobar who replaced him briefly, when he was on need.

“This is the last day Kang Soma was soaked in the sash of Brother Lawe?”

Roro Lawe nodded his head.

“We wait later when the sun slips, enter Sandyakala, which is the change of time between day and night. At the cusp of the change of day and night that is the peak of joint strength Edi Peni will occur.”

Karangkobar became curious and could not wait to see the death of his older brother.

“Kak?”

“Hmh..”.

“If Soma's brother returns young, can I join the brake in situ?” karangkobar said while referring in Sendang.

“Bby.”

“Really?”

“Hmm, yes.”

“There are terms?”

“Ada.”

“What?”

“You have to wait until the next twin year.”

Karangkobar scrunched his forehead? The next twin year? It's 1515, the next twin year is 1616. Wow very long.

“Means having to wait a hundred years dong?”

Roro Lawe nodded. Karangkobar shook his head.

“Gak want ah, over time,” murmured while shaking off.

Roro Lawe smiled amusedly by himself.

Suddenly the corner of his eye saw a strange light from inside. The light came from a small object worn around his sister's neck. When you get into the water. Roro Lawe did not pay much attention because Panembahan's body was covered in white clay.

The light was so bright, that every corner in the not-so-large palm was visible.

“Hm, it must be mustika stone,” thought. The light is different from the phosphorus stone in his cave. “What kind of stone can it be that bright in water?”

Roro Lawe was increasingly curious to reach for the mustika stone. Fortunately, the sun was starting to fall. Soon Sandhyakala's time will come. It means that the hermitage of Panembahan Somaangi has been completed. Just look at the results of the change, or its new form.

***

Change is the way we look at something that is different from one point in time to the next. Change is a process that must be learned, not the end result that is sometimes felt to deceive hope, until it is often regretted.

Finally the time that was waiting arrived. The point of shift between day and night that completes the time span of Panembahan Somawangi hermitage for seven days and seven nights. The process of regeneration that returned the body of Panembahan from its present state goes back to its former youth.

At the top of Sandhyakala, Sendang Edi Peni getting brighter. The bias of the light even comes out illuminating the surrounding environment. Penetrate the tightness of large trees and foliage. Even when viewed from a distance, the mountain peak died like it was emitting a bluish white moonlight. It's exquisite.

“Wow! What light is this, Lawe? How bright,”ujar Karangkobar.

“This light comes from the peak of the strength of the water itself, but what makes the light penetrate everywhere is a small object used by your brother,” said Roro Lawe.

“Tiny thing?” ask Karangkobar full of amazement.

“That mustika kak Lawe stone?

“We don't know for sure. I'll lift your brother's body to the surface first. Her ascetic is done.”

Roro Lawe sat cross-legged, her palms cupped in front of her chest. Then his lips moved to read prayer. Slowly his hands were stretched to the right and to the left. Then lifted into the air.

Slowly Panembahan's body at the bottom of the palm also lifted up to the surface. Passed through its pelagic layer, then floated in the air. From his waist, Karangkobar jerked his body, darting towards Panembahan's body. The body was captured and brought before Roro Lawe.

Roro Lawe looked at his sister's body which was stiffened. Before being put into the water, Panembahan had indeed frozen himself. The composition of the oxygen in his blood grains stayed awake, so he could stay in the water for so long without breathing.

“Deliver your heat power Karangkobar, to wake your brother,”.

Karangkobar touched both feet of the ice-cold Panembahan with both palms. Channeling the power of the hot Sawiji Geni to disperse the power of Tirtanala which froze his brother's blood flow and nerves. Slowly Panembahan's body began to move from the tip of the foot to the tip of the hair.

“Wake up my sister,” Lawe said as she shook Panembahan's body.

“Huk! Huk!”

Sound of coughing. Then the warmed body rose from its sleep.

“Bring your sister under the warm shower over there , Karangkobar.”

Karangkobar painstakingly guided Panembahan's body to the shower of Banyu Anget, a hot waterfall located under a banyan tree. Panembahan stood under the shower while cleaning the white clay that wrapped his body. The night grew darker so Karangkobar let out fire from his hands. Instantly the atmosphere around the shower became bright.

And Karangkobar's view was suddenly amazed. His eyes were open and his mouth was open. He saw the figure of the dashing young man he had known decades ago. The figure of his own brother, Panembahan Somawangi with his form when he was twenty-five years old!

His body was firm, tall, towering, pure white, with small eyes and a nose like the corner of a star, like a black expanse of grass, and the dainty beard that hangs around like the body of a densely enchanting teenage girl.

Somawangi is ready to make every girl's heart fall in love as soon as she sees it. Fall in love in the first sight!

Somawangi took off his robe of greatness. In the clothes of the commoners he will start his adventure to Kademangan Wanasepi, to lure the beautiful princess of Demang, Riyani Dyah Pitaloka. Black shorts are just long sleeved and striated clothes, he looks simple but still charming.

Roro Lawe and Karangkobar were unceasingly amazed at the new appearance of his brother.

“Go Somawangi. Pick up your new soulmate, and forget the love that betrayed you. I wish you big,” said Roro Lawe.

“Iya sister. I ask for your blessing,” Somawangi said before leaving.

After hugging Karangkobar, Somawangi immediately set out to carry out his mission, bringing princess Wanasepi as queen in the land of Perdikan Somawangi.

***

At the plantation of Kademangan Wanasepi, the foreman Balun was busy arranging his men, when a young man grabbed his shoulder.

“Excuse me kang,” greet the young man.

Mandor Balun looked up, looking at the young man from head to toe. His towering figure made the short-bodied foreman have to raise his head.

“What's up?” sahut short.

“Sorry kang. I'm in need of a job. Can I apply for a job here?” said the young man.

“Oh, here is the rough work. Do you want to clean up the garbage in the garden and pluck the grass?”

“Iya kang's. Any job I would do is important I can eat.”

“Good. Then you can work now. That's you ask the cashier what you should do here,” said Mandor while pointing to his friend who was busy working.

The young man was surprised by the strange gaze of the foreman.

“Eh, young man. What's your name?”

“My name is Soma,” says the young man. “Somawangi.”
