Raka Senggani and Bekel pedukuhan were talking until the quiet wayah uwong.
Marked by having slept his children from Ki Bekel's. The atmosphere felt in that place.
There was a bad feeling felt by him. He also caught something else that night.
" Ki Bekel, are there many people in this area who have horses,?" ask him to Ki Bekel.
" I'm sorry, kid, nobody here has a horse, why do kids ask that,?" ki Bekel asked.
" Ki Bekel just call my name, Senggani, as for why I ask this, it seems there is a rush of legs - the legs of the horse that is heading here" said Raka Senggani.
He was able to hear the sound of the footsteps of the horse even though it was still very far away, and that had made Ki Bekel look agitated.
Why does Ki Bekel look unsettled after I say there is a galloping horse legs that will come here, whether it is a flock of robbers who are often poor across the area here, Inner Raka Senggani said.
" It's best, Adi Senggani's horse moved to the back, fearing it, the people who will pass this is a herd of robbers, who will go to the next door,". ki Bekel.
On the face of Bekel who was not too old it seemed anxiety, he was indeed responsible for the safety of his guests, but the peduhan led him did not have the strength.
" Calm down Ki Bekel, of course they will not be too interested in Si Jangu, they will certainly be happy with the gold gem, wesi aji wrapped in diamonds such as keris or heirloom swords, " raka Senggani.
" But we do not know, if they did not manage to get the spoils tonight they could be the animals they will take, let alone the horses belonging to the Senggani adi, horses are expensive, big and tough, of course they will be very interested in it," explained Ki Bekel.
But Raka Senggani did not answer the words of the Chief of Confidence, his ears seemed to be catching that the number of horsemen who would pass by was not less than twenty people.
" Ki Bekel, are there any reliable people here,?" ask Raka Senggani to Bekel.
" That is, a silat-capable person,?" ask Ki Bekel.
" Yes, are there any people in this court who can be counted on to fight them if they stop by this peddling, then,?" ask Raka Senggani again.
" Well, no, just a Constable here, even though his age is very advanced, indeed he has the ability of silat even though only a little, " replied Ki Bekel.
Hopefully they will not stop by here, so it will not make this hard pain, Ki Bekel said in his heart.
Similarly, Raka Senggani, Senopati Pajang also hope that passers-by are people who will go to Pajang across the place.
The silence was broken with the clattering of the feet of the approaching horse.
Ki Bekel was unceasingly looking at his sleeping children scattered in the living room. Because the house is very small only has a room.
So the kids were forced to sleep in that middle room.
" Adi, before it's too late again, I suggest you move your horse back" said Ki Bekel again.
" It's okay, Ki Bekel if Si Jangu stays there, it's easier to see her, later if behind Senggani it will be difficult to monitor her, it's easier to see her, if there is a wild animal coming we will not immediately see it," replied Raka Senggani.
" In that case, we both have to go inside before they get here" Ki Bekel told Raka Senggani.
The young man obeyed the invitation, while turning off the castor oil lamp in the pendopo room, both entered the house.
Do not forget Ki Bekel was closing the door of his house and in selarak from the inside.
But Ki Bekel was not directly headed to his room, he invited Raka Senggani to peek at who exactly the horsemen were.
Indeed, not too long after the two went inside was the sound of footsteps of the horse passing in the street pedukuhan it was right in front of the house Ki Bekel.
Because the torch light in the courtyard of the house was still burning, the two people could freely see anyone passing by.
In front there appears a large man tending to be fattened with a black headband appears to lead the group, behind him there is someone who is medium-bodied with a little good clothes following the fat-bodied.
Then successively passed the group in groups so that it was very difficult to see his face.
Ki Bekel's heart seemed happy because the group did not stop by his house.
" Hahh, it turns out that the gang robbed Ki Mangku Darno," muttered Ki Bekel.
" Where did Ki Bekel know that, then,?" ask Raka Senggani.
Then Bekel pedukuhan it tells that the horde that has passed was a gang of robbers led by a man named Mangku Darno with black hair ties with a fat body and one eye lizard.
Ki Bekel also said that Ki Mangku Darno was armed with a weapon.
And that guy has a pretty high silat science has a lot of casualties with his weapon that's clumsy.
Lucky he did not stop at this pedukuh, otherwise of course we will get problems, said Ki Bekel again.
Indeed the clattering of the horse's feet was like his leaving the pederasty.
Ki Bekel massaged his chest after the departure of the horde.
But not yet exhausted the pleasure in the heart of Ki Bekel, heard back the clattering of horse legs that returned and his looks led to his house.
Well, how is this, why are they again saying in his heart Ki Bekel.
The footsteps of the horse immediately approached the house of Ki Bekel and directly hit the regol of Ki Bekel's house until it was destroyed because it was made of wood that is not too good.
The bekel was completely frightened, he unintentionally looked at his guest, Raka Senggani.
While Senopati Pajang continued to stare into the courtyard of Ki Bekel's house without blinking.
Hemmphh, their number is ten people, Raka Senggani's bathin.
While Ki Bekel is still looking for the reason what makes the horde back again.
He saw the horse Raka Senggani still moored in front of the house.
He also believed that was the cause, and he also stared at the light of the torch that swayed in the wind.
Hehh, that was the torch I didn't extinguish, his his hiss again.
Because with the light of the torch, the Horse mount from Raka Senggani can be seen from the road.
" Hahh, you are inside, we are sure you are certainly not asleep, come out, I will ask you something, Cepaaaat," cried the man.
A medium-bodied man in rather nice clothes.
He led the mob into the courtyard of Ki Bekel's house. Still on the back of his horse, he shouted,
" Hurry out or I'll burn this house down" he shouted.
" No, no, don't burn my house down, what do you want, Kisanak,?" tanya Ki Bekel's.
After he was in the pendopo of his house.
" Hurry up you come here, there's something I want to ask you, come quickly," the man told Ki Bekel.
Inevitably, Ki Bekel walked towards the place of the man, who was still sitting on his horse.
After Ki Bekel approached, the man asked again,
" Whose horse is this, very good and looks expensive at his price,?"
" Eeehh, a anu, this horse belongs to my guest Kisanak," replied Ki Bekel.
He answered a bit hesitant but would let alone be forced to tell the truth, because Ki Bekel was advised to his owner to hide behind.
You wayward, I told you to hide it, but still do not want to, Ki Bekel said in his heart.
" Who's your guest, aren't you the Bekel of this affliction,?" ask the guy again.
" Ahh, he is a person who is overnight on the road and here just a ride to stay for the next morning just continue the journey again,". replied Ki Bekel.
" Is he a merchant who is afraid that his property will be robbed of people so they have to stay here, Ki Bekel,?" ask the guy.
" A aa I don't know, kisanak, whether he is a merchant or not," explained Ki Bekel somewhat stuttered.
Actually he did not intend to say it but already so he was difficult to lie again.
" Send your guest out, Cepaaaat," cried the man.
" Bb bb good kisanak" said Ki Bekel.
The chief of the battle turned inward to call Raka Senggani, but he was very surprised suddenly there was someone who rebuked him.
" No need for Ki Bekel to call me, what is the need for me, Kisanak, something to ask?" ask Raka Senggani.
Senopati Pajang looks relaxed like she is not facing problems.
Meanwhile Ki Bekel was already very frightened, his knees to tremble.
" Hehh, boy, does this horse belong to you,.?" ask the guy again.
" It is true that this horse is mine, indeed why, there is a problem with this horse," replied Raka Senggani rather loudly.
" Hehh, quickly hand over the horse also with a keris on your waist, cepaaaat,!!? yell that guy out loud.
Raka Senggani looked at the face of the person who was still on the horse's back, and some people who were behind him.
Quite a number of them, not to mention the Leader who did not come here, I was forced to work hard this time, thought Raka Senggani.
" Hehh, are you deaf or are you pretending not to listen" the man shouted.
" Either I do not hear it, can I repeat it again," pinta Raka Senggani calmly.
While staring intently at that Senopati Pajang, said the person,
" It's for the last time if you don't obey my orders don't blame me if you come home by name tomorrow" said the man.
He was silent for a moment while continuing to look at Raka Senggani's face.
" Open your ears wide, quickly give the horse and the keris that is on your waist or else don't blame me, if later you will die here," yell that guy out loud.
Raka Senggani who pretended to answer immediately,
" Silahka take it if you can, but don't expect me to give it to you, if you take a step over my body first.
" Children, you do not know who is dealing with, we are a herd of robbed from the botok mountain and led by brother Mangku Darno, we are, quickly kneel down because you have dared to act presumptuously before us, Cepaaat,". shouted the man.
Senopati Pajang was not her fear instead calmly she replied, saying,
" You are who, whether Kanjeng Sultan Demak should kneel before him, you are just trash, who dares to kawula alit, against a soldier Demak only you do not dare, he said, do what you do, I will not kneel before you" replied Raka Senggani.
The man's anger peaked visible from the look on his face, he immediately gave a signal to his friends.
" Come, arrest this man, if you need to kill all of you, in order to want a warning for those who dare to oppose the wishes of the brother Mangku Darno, quickly do it.
" Good brother," answered his friends.
Five men immediately descended with unsheathed weapons approaching Raka Senggani.
The five immediately surrounded the young man, one of the five men still had time to say to Raka Senggani to kneel apologizing and give up the request of the leader.
But Raka Senggani was silent and did not answer the man's words.
Immediately his fifth attacked Senopati Pajang.
Fighting ensued, the five of them immediately read out their weapons to the body of Senopati Pajang.
Raka Senggani only dodged by shifting his legs step by step.
And occasionally his hands fended off the attack.
The five of them felt astonished because they had not been able to touch his opponent's body with his weapon.
When one of the men slashed his sword towards the foot, Raka Senggani raised the leg next to him, and another man came thrusting his sword towards the young man's chest, back Senopati Pajang it shifted his body as thought sideways, sparing the attack within a finger of his body.
Then came another attack towards his head, just by looking down a little his head the attack was met with an empty place.
The fifth moved faster and more fierce, but so far none of the attacks were able to penetrate the defense of Senopati Pajang.
The leader who was still on the back of his horse was watching closely what had happened.
He shouted loudly,
" What you're doing, just to catch a little boy you can't afford, quickly finish that guy off and grab that dagger around his waist,"
Hearing the words of the leader back the five people attacked with sword slashes very quickly, they did not feel they had been toyed with by Senopati Pajang.
