***

(Tales Carrier) ~ Unstoppable revolutionary upheaval. Everywhere screeches demanded Baloq Darwire be tried echoed. The first Village Chief of Bunge Village was also forced to abdicate immediately.

Most people have dark eyes. Not a shred of kindness is remembered even though Baloq Darwire has brought the village to prosper. Only because of the agreement with the Selaq Nation, the citizens demanded that Baloq Darwire be severely punished.

Tragically the deaths of Baloq Sawiye and Suriane plague the village of Bunge. Wafting the news of Elite Squad Leader Goat Mutter the brains behind the killing of the two Village Councils.

No night passes without worry. Following rumors the three remaining village councils of Sinarsih, Menggale, and Saminggah will also be finished off.

The villagers were getting more agitated and angry. Every night they went out of the house carrying sharp weapons. Protect the houses of the village council from the onslaught of elite troops.

The rumor was further peppered with power-hungry desires. Tambing Muter was accused of wanting to kill all the Village Councils in order to be elected as the head of Bunge village. Following the paralysed state of Baloq Darwire.

Amidst the slander storm that made residents restless, Village Defense Commander Raden Rumasih appeared as a hero. He deployed an army to capture and kill the Elite Army sympathizers.

Raden Rumasih vowed to sacrifice himself to protect the dignity, dignity, and stability of the village from power hunters.

He also gained the sympathy of the people. He was hailed as the future head of the village. Replacing Baloq Darwire who is considered a great sinner!

Few know, the killers Baloq Sawiye and Suriane were not elite troops, but revolutionary forces disguised as elite troops. They were all under Raden Rumasih's orders!

That is the political truth. Full of intrigue, strategy, slander, and betrayal. Politics is not about who is right, who is wrong. But who is the winner and who ends up being the loser. ~

That night, thousands of people spilled over in the courtyard of the spacious Village Hall. They sat waiting in an orderly manner under the hundreds of torches blowing in the wind.

While in the hall without walls sat the village figures. They will do a meeting or a meeting. Sekeling Village Hall is heavily guarded by defense forces, Krame Village, and a number of Bunge Village college students.

In the middle sat with a calm face of Defense Commander Raden Rumasih. He flanked two other village leaders. To his left sits Sigrah. He is the new Chairman of the Village Representative Council. Baloq Sawiye's.

While on the right Raden Rumasih sat the Krame Commander of Raden Sangkan Village. He is the successor to Raden Sentane who died while fighting the demon Jumindri.

In front of the three figures, sat cross-legged Elders of Desa Resi Wilahuni. Not far to his left, sat Supreme Master Raden Aryadi

The sceptre was led directly by Resi Wilahuni. The 200-year-old man was busy folding betel leaves before the sangkep began.

Baloq Darwire could not attend. His paralyzed condition made the village sangkep Last in his absence.

“These are the new village leaders. His name is Raden Sangkan, he replaced Raden Sentane in the position of Commander of Krame Village,” said Raden Rumasih introducing the man sitting to his right on Resi Wilahuni.

Resi Wilahuni, the mangosteen while showing off his teeth that live one. Behind his long dangled eyebrows to the floor and his matted eye patch, he greeted Raden Sangkan with his trademark smile.

“While this is Sigrah. He is the Chairman of the Village Representative Council in lieu of Baloq Sawiye,” Raden Rumasih added.

“Mmmm,” Resi Wilahuni back mangosteen. He returned a smile to the figure sitting to the left of Raden Rumasih.

(Tales Carrier) ~ Raden Rumasih then lowered the situation of the village. Starting from the rebellion of the Selaqs, a number of officials who died, damage occurred everywhere, to the murder of the Village Council accused of the goat Muter.

The village Defense Commander also recounted the turmoil among the villagers who demanded Baloq Darwire abdicate and be tried ~

“We think it is time to change the reins of Village Chief,” continued Chairman of the House of Representatives Sigrah, after Raden Rumasih ended the story. “And the right time is tonight also Resi,”

“Really welcome change made without involving Darwire,” sahut Maha Guru Raden Aryadi.

Raden Sangkan, interject. “Until when will we wait? Village situation in tempest. The security and order of the village is precarious. We need a leader who can handle this mess,”

“There is no harm in being patient, all for the good of the village,” said Supreme Master Aryadi again.

“Kebaikan village is when the decision is taken quickly and precisely,” said Raden Sangkan with a high voice. Then connect, “Isn't that Resi?”

The Wilahuni Rishis who was asked seemed to ignore their debate. He looks busy dismantling the folds of white cloth wrapped around his body.

His face looks confused. “Mmmm ... where is my betel?”

Supreme Master Raden Aryadi and all those present threw eyes at each other.

“That's in your hand Rishi,” sahut Maha Guru Aryadi, then patted his own forehead.

Resi Wilahuni looked at his hand. And the thing he was looking for was still clad in his thumb and index finger. His face changed, cheerful.

“How's Resi?” Raden Sangkan could not wait for the opinion of the oldest figure in Bunge village.

“Mmm ... Who are you?” resi Wilahuni asked, looking puzzledly at Raden Sangkan.

Those who were present in the room shook their heads. There are also those who scratch even though they do not itch.

“She Raden Sangkan,” whispered Supreme Master Raden Aryadi. “New Village Commander Krame,”

Resi Wilahuni was stunned for a moment. But then laugh again. “Oh hahaha, sorry. Yes the name is also parents, a little often forget,”

“Not a little, it's called severe senile,” chirps Supreme Master Aryadi dongkol.

Resi Wilahuni smiled. Then patted the shoulder of Supreme Master Raden Aryadi.

“Oh yes Sangkan, you asked what was son?” Resi Wilahuni turned his gaze.

This time Raden Sangkan bowed languidly. While saying quietly, “Is really all the complicated business about this village we will leave it to this old man?”

“I did have a little trouble with the memory of son. But believe me, my advice will not hurt your life,” Resi Wilahuni again chuckled. His lips were trembling with his roaring breath.

Raden Rumasih. He looks impatient. Then said, “Darwire can no longer continue the leadership of Resi. He suffered from paralysis after fighting against Selaq Bunge. So I thought, tonight we have to decide who the new village head is,”

“Why rush want to replace the leader, my son?” sahut Resi Wilahuni smiled as he chewed betel.

“Until when will we wait? The security of the village is currently in turmoil, two village councils were killed by elite forces. Then are we going to keep quiet with this mess?” timpal Raden Rumasih's.

Resi Wilahuni did not respond. He saw Raden Rumasih's desire that could not be hidden anymore.

So did Supreme Master Raden Aryadi who chose not to say anything more. He had been able to read Raden Sangkan and Sigrah had indeed prepared Raden Rumasih to defend him all-out that night.

“Sorry I was forced. But there is no choice anymore. If Rishi does not immediately appoint a new village chief, then I will no longer be responsible for the situation and security of the people. However, I am only a Village Defense Commander and can only move if there is an order from the Village Chief,”, Raden Rumasih said.

The people of Bunge Village who heard the defense forces raised their hands from the chaos and mysterious killings rumbled. They began to huff and yell demanding that Resi Wilahuni behave.

Some residents are angry and feel that Resi Wilahuni continues to flow when trying to jump into the village hall area.

But fortunately the security forces, Krame Village, and college students, quickly dispelled before the chaos was even worse. They are angry and afraid that if the security forces raise their hands, the children, wives, and families become the next victims of mysterious murders.

“Come Resi decide immediately!” pekik citizens understated.

“Thanks to Raden Rumasih as the village head,” said another.

But Resi Wilahuni still looked calm. He then muttered making the village leaders think hard. “However I am not a destiny maker and I cannot change destiny,”

Raden Rumasih captures what Resi Wilahuni said as the reluctance of the village elder to appoint him as the village chief. Then he rudely rose, “Alright Resi, if tonight is a spare, then I will withdraw the security forces from all corners of the village,”

Raden Sangkan, stand up. He also said that increasingly makes residents more anxious and afraid.

“I am also like Resi. The Village Krame troops will I order no longer take responsibility for the security of the village. Let this village be a mess. Let thieves, robbers, assassins royals Lela spread wrath everywhere!”

“Resi, actually five village councils have deliberated and agreed to appoint Raden Rumasih as the village head, so there is no reason to delay deciding tonight. But if the Rishis choose to continue to delay, it is better that the village council be dissolved and every hut let be independent into small villages. Maybe the history of Bunge village just got here,” threatened Sigrah.

The villagers outside the village hall were getting boisterous and rowdy. They even tried to curse Resi Wilahuni with inappropriate words.

“What do you intend to destroy the village, tonight?”

“Why are you silent like a rock?”

“Your senor has ruined your common sense!”

“Tak deserves to be called Resi, more appropriate senile parents who can no longer think healthy!”

Change of citizens screaming. They were angry, the old man had not yet raised Raden Rumasih as the village head.
