EPS 17 NEW GUARDS

NEW BODYGUARD

According to his teacher's instructions, Eyang Sapujagad, Tusin and Daningrum came to the south coast to look for Coral Flowers. Armed with a burning grudge, they left his teacher's residence in the Tidar Valley. On horseback they traveled far to the south coast. Passing through a row of mountains and dense forests at the foot of the so-called Merapi mountain, they must fight against various temptations from astral beings.

After three days and three nights of riding, they arrived at the South coast. Then they took their horses out into the wild. According to his teacher's instructions they had to walk on foot in order to find the Karang Bolong cave.

With full vigilance. They walked slowly down the path towards the sunset to the west. Their only goal was to meet Goddess Sryakanthi in the cave.

They are sure to get something there, a great power that can defeat the power of Panembahan Somawangi.. They continued to walk day and night, until they arrived on a cluster of coral that looks hollow in the middle. Like a doughnut bread suspended above sea level.

‘My wife, I am sure what is meant by teacher Sapujagad with Karang Bolong cave is this place,” he said.

“True my husband, if you look at his characteristics, this cave fits like the picture given by Eyang Guru,” Daningrum said.

With bare feet, they began to climb the perpendicular rock. Fortunately, there are many holes that can be used as a foothold. By relying a little on the inner strength they had, they were finally able to reach that hole. Actually this place is not like a cave in general, which extends, but more like a hole in the middle of a coral mountain there is no end and finally.

It seems that they are not the first people who have ever been imprisoned in this cave. Because there are two flat stones that are already smooth, signs are often used for asceticism. Tusin and Daningrum sit facing the southern sea. After placing both hands on their knees, they read prayers asking the ruler of the south sea for permission to do his deed. After that, they began their hermitage.

Riyani had a surprise that day. He's got a new bodyguard, a personal bodyguard who's going to take care of him wherever he goes. It was Ki Jogoboyo who took him to Dalem Kademangan.

“What! Why should I be followed by guards everywhere?” asked Riyani.

“To maintain Den Ayu's safety from criminal groups that target Den Ayu's life,” said Ki Jogoboyo.

“There are criminals who are after my life? You don't overdo it ki Jogoboyo,” Riyani said trying to reject it.

But Ki Jogoboyo has considered everything.

“I do not overdo Den Ayu. Events at the animal market that threaten the life of Den Ayu turned out to be planned. The culprit has also been arrested.”

“Who?”

“Kebo Luwuk, deputy head of animal market. During this time he was used by the middlemen from Kotaraja to make profits from small farmers. They are not happy with Den Ayu's measures to protect the farmers and farmers.”

Riyani was stunned, not expecting anyone to kill him because of his lust.

“I have also sent a courier to send a letter to ki Demang in Kotaraja, that Den Ayu will be escorted personally.”

“What does Father Demang think, ki?”

“Ke Demang agrees with this proposal. He also requested that the guards guarding Den Ayu were the best bodyguards capable of protecting Den Ayu.”'s safety

Riyani nodded her head.

“Have you found Ki?”

Ki Jogoboyo nodded his head.

“Have Den Ayu?”

“Hah? That fast?”

Ki Jogoboyo nodded his head.

“He was the young man who saved Den Ayu from the buffalo attack on the animal market. He was also the one who caught Kebo Luwuk, the vice head of the market who became his brain.”

Riyani gasped in surprise. The young man who saved himself? The strange young man who disappeared after saving himself, now became his personal bodyguard? The young man who always came in his dreams and is now looking for him?

“How is Den Ayu?” ask ki Jogoboyo.

Riyani awoke from her daydream.

Ki Jogo clapped his hand, telling Riyani's new bodyguard to come in. The man was young, pure white, sturdy and strong, with a sideburn and a small, weaved beard hanging from his chin. With a downcast face, the young man stood in front of Riyani.

Riyani recalled the moment the two strong arms hugged her and carried her ‘terbang’ before tumbling over with a very close face.

“What's your name?”

“Soma,” said the young man. “Somawangi.”

Whahuh? Riyani almost jumped from her seat in shock. He was almost about to ask if the young man was Panembahan Somawangi the leader of the fiefland, but he was stopped. He was scared of being laughed at by Ki Jokoboyo.

‘Somawangi offerings are old?’ his inner. ‘Surely it's just a coincidence the name is the same.’

“Are you really ready to be my bodyguard?”

“Siap By Ayu.”

Riyani nodded her head. Then look at Ki Jogoboyo. The head of security of Kademangan immediately responded.

“For the room I have prepared behind the Amperment room Den Ayu. He will stay by day at Dalem Kademangan with some other bodyguards,” he said.

“Good. It's up to ki Jogo how to set it up. Then I'll go inside,” he said.

Ki Jogo nodded. Riyani immediately went inside. As soon as he passed the door of the pendopo room he immediately turned into the guest room room. Then peek at Somawangi who is still talking to ki Jogo. The girl cupped her hands together on both of her cheeks, with an anxious face. Adduh, Somawangi, you handsome bangeeettt!! he screamed in his heart.

The days were passed by Riyani and Somawangi with excitement. Although never shown directly, everyone in Kademangan felt the happiness that Den Ayunya felt. They felt his lord's attention to them growing. The academy guards get new uniforms bought from Riyani's private money.

They are also often given holidays with their families. Except Somawangi because his stay is in Dalem Kademangan. The seeds of love begin to grow between the two. Although they do not show closeness, their eyes and hearts feel so close. Until one night when Somawangi was on his own guard, Riyani came to bring him a cup of coffee.

Seeing his lord bring coffee for him, Somawangi immediately ran to meet him.

“Eh, Den Ayu kok make your own coffee?” said.

At the top of the stairs Somawangi stood, extending his hand to receive the coffee. But in a hurry Riyani's legs slipped and her body fell into the young man's arms. The hot coffee doused Somawangi's body, but the young man did not feel it. He preferred to hug his lord who was about to fall down the stairs,

“Ups! Sooth-somawangi! You okay?” ask Riyani.

Somawangi just shut up. His eyes stared intently at Riyani's face which was now in his arms. The loving eyes that both of them felt.

“So..Somawangi.a...what are you doing?”

“I love you Den Ayu,” whispered the young man down.

Riyani closed her eyes, then nodded. It was a sign that he felt the same way in his heart.
