MATCHMAKER
The days seemed to flash so fast, eating away at the age of the night. Like the time that used to be slowed down and boring. It feels like it is spinning fast and full of excitement. It's all because of the intoxicating love. Moreover, the love that comes after feeling hurt, is much more beautiful and full of romance. Because they always try to keep this relationship beautiful all the time.
The story of a romance drama between a personal bodyguard and his lord. Classic stories that often occur in human children even with different curves and stories. Because love knows only the heart, not who or where it is.
No one knows the romance of Riyani-Somawangi. Moreover, their closeness was covered with the status of Somawangi's position as a personal guard. When they went everywhere, no one was suspicious. Fortunately Riyani and Somawangi are good at maintaining attitudes as honorable people. Except mbok Dal, because Riyani could never keep any secrets from the female caretaker.
“Adduh, who is in love again, early in the morning has been sent flowers,” said mbok Dal who saw Riyani was arranging flowers in a small container made of clay.
Riyani just smiled. He was used to his symbiotic messiness, who liked to chatter when he saw something he thought he was not used to doing.
“Kata ki Jogoboyo, the father's business in Kotaraja is done mbok. Tomorrow I will leave Kotaraja and return to Wanasepi,” Riyani reminded.
“Iya Den Ayu, simbok has also heard the news,” mbok Dal. “Means about seven more days Ki Demang has arrived at Kademangan again.”
“Iya. Pray yes mbok so that Dad's journey smoothly and always in his protection,” Riyani said again.
Then he sat down beside his symbol with a strange smile.
“What is Den Ayu smiling while looking at Simbok? Want to vent ya?”
Riyani nodded her head. But still speechless while smiling looking at his symbiotic face. There was a flash of happiness in both eyes. Mbok Dal can read the mind of his master.
“Hm, definitely about the love story between Ken Arok and Ken Dedes.”
“Kok Ken Arok the mbok? He's a robber?”
Riyani's face was a little protested.
“Lho Your prince is also a robber who has stolen the heart of Den Ayu,” said mbok Dal with a funny facial expression.
Riyani chuckles at it, seeing it,
“Simbok is just-nothing, kkk..,” said.
Then silent again. Mbok Dal also quietly waited.
“Starting today Kakang Soma asked for a holiday. For ten days, he will go home,” Riyani said later.
Mbok Dal nodded his head. Riyani continued his words.
“He will be back with his family to propose to me mbok.”
“Hah?”
Dal's face immediately smiled widely. The hue of happiness immediately crawled his face. The body of Riyani was very tight. His eyes look teary. Riyani returned his embrace, feeling the affection of his symbok who every day hugged him since he was born from the womb of his mother.
“But mbok,..”
Riyani did not continue his words, as if in doubt. Mbok Dal let go of his embrace, looking at his visitation.
“What's Den Ayu doing, you got a problem you want to say? Your father's attitude?”
Riyani shook her head.
“I'm not worried about Romo's attitude. He never differentiates man from wherever he comes. I'm sure Somawangi will be well received.”
“Then?”
“I think of Eyang Karangkobar, a friend of my father who used to propose to me.”
Dal's face looks upset.
“Old base Bangka shameless. Don't think about Den Ayu.”
“The problem is that I have agreed to accept his application.”
“The agreement must be based on two interests, not on threats. Such an agreement means to cancel Den Ayu, aka not applicable.”
Riyani nodded her head. Ah, mbok Dal sometimes pinter too.
“Some of him proposed to his brother. If his brother does not want, it means void,” continued mbok Dal, as if strengthening the belief Den Ayunya.
“If she's angry?”
“Let the symbologies that face it.”
“Simbok to burn?”
“Ya No Den Ayu.”
“Ya, splash symbols use water seember.”
Haha…

Roro Lawe welcomed his return with joy. The body of panembahan Somawangi while being stroked by his head. Especially seeing the excited face of his sister. His eyes were so alive and full of love. Goddess of Knowledge or all know can understand what her sister is feeling right now.
Later that night he recounted his experiences during his time at Kademangan Wanasepi. From being a plantation worker, cow herder to being a personal bodyguard of princess ki Demang. He fell in love with the princess, Riyani Dyah Pitaloka. And Den Ayunya also welcomed his love.
“It feels so happy to get the love of a girl who comes from the bottom of her heart. Not because of threats or because there was no choice,” he said, remembering his first wife who wanted to marry him, because there was no choice. After her lover retreated for fear of her big name.
Ow, Roro Lawe got carried away. He saw the face of the woman, how his sister had recycled herself after being dumped painfully by Miryam. Somawangi transforms into a new human being whom he did not know before.
“Keep what are your plans Soma?”
Somawangi. He looked at his brother's face deeply, as if he was looking for the right word to express his heart.
“I'll propose to him, mbakyu. I will propose to princess Ki Demang to be my wife,” he said. “I don't want to lose him.”
Roro Lawe's eyes glazed over at Somawangi's trembling lips as she said those words. Love can make a man of any strength weak and afraid to lose.
“Yes. Brother agrees. We will talk about it together,” he said. “You know Soma, sister also feel happy once.”
Brak!
Sounds like people are kicking something outside the pendopo. Then the sound of Karangkobar swearing and angry. But when he entered his face, he changed.
“Kak Soma? You're home?” he said with a big smile.
Patted her brother's body hard, then laughed out loud. Somawangi and Roro Lawe just smiled at the behavior of his ‘paya’ sister.
“Where are you. Go all day not say, go home night angry,”Tanya Roro Lawe.
Karangkobar grinning horse. After telling her about her adventures in search of Miryam and Santika.
“But not found. They said they were hiding in Jalatunda, but could not be seen because their bodies were shrouded in the power of love. What kind of fuck is that?” skink.
“You still take care of Miryam and Santika?” ask Somawangi. “Forget them. I've said many times, if I'm the one who's wrong, not them.”
Karagkobar listened to Somawangi with an astonished face. Has her brother really moved on?
“Let them enjoy their own love Kobar. Don't bother them anymore, because your sister Soma has found a new love. And he intends to propose to her.”
The smile on Karangkobar's face grew wider, his face was so excited. He looks so happy. Both of his hands were raised high while shouting.
“Horee! I finally managed to become a Matchmaker!”
