The footsteps of the jangu broke the silence of the road between Kotaraja Demak to Pajang.
On top of her dashingly sat the Senopati , Senopati Sandi Demak, at the waist tucked away the heirloom keris Kyai Tiger Kecil.
His shoulder-length hair looks riap in the wind is quite strong, because he drives Jangu quite fast and tight.
Far away had he left Kotaraja Demak. It was not until late in the afternoon that he found a Peduhan, but he did not stop there, but continued his journey.
Until late at night he stopped in a forest that is not too wide, immediately Raka Senggani came down from the back of Jangu.
He tied Jangu to a small tree, and he was looking for a pennant or a slam, he wanted to clean his body. And immediately perform the Maghrib prayer service.
It was a dark night, making him light a bonfire. Let the place be warm.
While far from the place where the Senopati is restful, on a dark enough night, it appears that two people are practicing silat on a mountain slope.
Both of them looked serious about doing their training.
" good, though,..Ngger, your steps must be more steady and fast,." said someone old.
The old man was seen watching carefully every move of the young man who was practicing .
While the young man continued to train diligently, even though the night was quite dark.
" Hiyyaat,.."
The young man jumped while giving a horizontal kick, then continued a punch with his right hand, followed by a knee thrust, then ended a blow with his hand again.
" Now,..."
Excited old man who wears a robe. He raised his hand so that the young man would stop his training.
" For this day enough has been your practice, Ngger, and it seems that your improvement is admirable.,.if you are diligent in practicing not until three full moons, Eyang has been able to lower your inner strength,.." her word.
" Thank you, eyang,." said the young man.
The other one is Raka Yantra, and the old man in front of her is Mpu Loh Brangsang.
The ruler of Mount Merapi was very happy to see the development of this youngest disciple.
In a time that is not up to a year, he has been able to reach the highest level in silat motion.
Although to reduce other science, Mpu Loh Brosang not dare to do it, he is very worried if there will be changes in the structure of his body, and can make himself paralyzed.
But after seeing the exercise that was done earlier, Mpu Loh Brosangsang heart became satisfied, because there was no longer an obstacle to reduce all his knowledge in this young man.
" Ngger, Eyang feels you have enough talent to be a strong swordsman,." said Mpu Loh Brangsang.
" Thank you, Eyang,." replied Raka Yantra.
In the heart of the Ruler of Mount Merapi is convinced to form the young man in front of him into an opponent that is commensurate with Senopati Brastha Abipraya, senopati Pajang.
Because in his heart still stored a myriad of grudges against the young man of Kenanga village.
And he also felt that these two cousins had excellent talent in terms of silat and kadigjayaan .
Whether these two young men still have the lineage of the Majapahit breed, said in the heart of Mpu Loh Brosang.
Because according to him only the descendants of the last Prabhu Brawijaya only have advantages in terms of science kadigjayaan .
Until the night changed, Mpu Loh Brangsang remained beside Raka Yantra.
Leaving Mount Merapi only to find a student who can receive his knowledge, after the death of his main disciple named Adya Buntala.
And when the gospel of his heart was very happy after getting a student who had talent.
Sememtara it , Raka Senggani is in the T-junction area between the duchy of Pajang and the village of Kenanga.
And upon arrival at the fork Raka Senggani was surprised by one of the horsemen who seemed to be waiting for someone.
Hahh, Ki Jaka Belek said Senopati Sandi Yuda Demak in his heart.
Quickly, Senopati Milky Way greeted her.
" What's the matter Ki Jaka Belek.. Why are you here,..?" tanyakanya.
" Ahh, no, just wanted to congratulate the success of fulfilling the task at bang Wetan,." said Ki Lintang Jaka Belek.
" Thank you, though,..Ki Jaka Belek." - Senggani Raka.
He then close his horse to Ki Jaka Belek's horse.
In a very close distance,..Ki Lintang Jaka Belek, then shook his hand.
Half whispered, though,..Kj Jaka Belek said,..
" Has Senopati prepared the man who will go to the kulon,..?" ask her.
" No, yet,..Ki Jaka Belek, because the time is still not specified,." replied Raka Senggani again.
" The message from me, so that Senopati Milky Way can send people who can be trusted,." said Ki Lintang Jaka Belek.
" Good Ki, I will remember the message of the gospel battery." said Raka Senggani.
Then while running his horse slowly, Raka Senggani told Ki Jaka Belek to stop by the village of Kenanga.
" Thank you, though,..Senopati Milky Way, I still have a task, in the city of the duchy,." replied Ki Jaka Belek.
He immediately left Senopati Bima Sakti, and directed his horse towards the Duchy of Pajang.
Ahh, I should just go back to Kenanga village, she said in her heart.
He also directed his horse towards Kenanga village, there is a feeling of longing for his hometown.
Arrived there, at dusk had greeted. He continued to proceed towards the new house made which was allocated to Raka Jang, his uncle.
" Ahh,.angger Senggani, when is his arrival,.paman is very happy to see you have returned,." said Raka Jang.
The old man immediately hugged his nephew's body while patting his shoulders.
And they both went inside.
" Is Ki Lamiran not here ,..Uncle,..?" ask Raka Senggani.
" Maybe tonight he will come here, because it becomes his custom, one night being here and the other night he is in his house, ." explained Raka Jang.
" Ooo, uh,.."
Speech that comes out of the mouth of the Milky Way Senopati. He went straight back to the side that was not too far from the house.
Not too long he was there, then returned to his house again and immediately dressed neatly, having previously carried out the orders of the Almighty.
Night in Kenanga ' village, Raka Senggani then Ki Lamiran's arrival at the house.
Sealnjutya invites Raka Senggani to come to Banjar Kenanga village. Ki Lamiran wanted to ask Raka Senggani something.
While walking, though,..Ki Lamiran directly asked Raka Senggani if the task in his arms was quite heavy, he asked Raka Senggani.
" It's very hard, Kj, even I have to be cared for.for a week , in trowulan, ." replied Raka Senggani.
Replace Senopati Bima Sakti who asked Ki Lamiran about his relationship with Sari Kemuning, daughter of Ki Jagabaya.
Is the harvest time this time indeed Ki Jagabaya has been willing to do it, asked her to Ki Lamiran.
" It seems that your future in-laws have indeed prepared everything, even though they initially asked next year, but after being explained by Kanjeng Tumenggung Bahu Reksa the reason, was,..Ki Jagabaya also responded,." explained Ki Lamiran.
Ki Lamiran then said again,..
" Is the Senggani angger already steady to get married and there is a time as has been said by Kanjeng Tumenggung Reksa's Shoulder,..?" ask Ki Lamiran.
" So steady, though,..Ki, because Senggani felt it was time to build a family, so that one day every return from duty there are people who can give encouragement, and about the issue of time, so that, Kanjeng Sinuwun has given permission if it is carried out this year, not with next year, ." explained Raka Senggani.
Both of them continued to walk and did not feel they had reached the banjar of Kenanga village.
There has been filled by many people, is Ki Bekel who became very surprised after seeing the presence of Senopati Brastha Abipraya, there is a feeling of pleasure in the heart of the village leader Kenanga.
" Wahh, when the arrival of Senggani angger here, aki want to ask something, Ki Lamiran briefly, Senggani.angger I will take a moment,." said Ki Bekel.
" Please ,.ki, please .." said Ki Lamiran.
Ki Bekel invites to enter Senopati Milky Way. It seemed that he wanted to say something to Raka Senggani.
After sitting down, Ki Bekel said, then,..
" So here's ,..Ngger,.aki wants Jati Andara to become a Demak warrior, is not angger able to take him, and he can be accepted as a soldier,..?" ask Raka Senggani.
" Actually it can, Ki Bekel, but will you be willing to become a soldier, Kakang Andara is indeed willing to become a soldier,..?" raka Senggani asked.
" He must be willing and willing to become a soldier, because it will raise the dignity and dignity of the family as Angger Senggani has done,." said Ki Bekel excitedly.
Raka Senggani who saw the spirit so it was not until the heart to tell the truth to the leader of Kenanga village.
But for good he also ventured to be frank with Ki Bekel.
" Look,..Ki, um,..Senggani had talked to Andara's brother about the wishes of Ki Bekel, but he did not seem to be too interested anymore to become a soldier, " explained Raka Senggani.
" What is the reason,..Ngger, are you not an example that should be imitated, with all your success and can put yourself in line with the officials of the palace , even Kanjeng Sinuwun himself knows you very well,..!" ki Bekel.
For a moment Raka Senggani had to regulate his breathing, he saw that Ki Bekel assessed himself with the results he had achieved and did not see how difficult and terrible the struggle that must be faced, life is a threat.
" Maybe it is true that Ki Bekel said earlier, if you see the results that Sengganj has achieved at this time, but for Kakang andara and Kakang Wangsa who have participated directly in several battles,.they are very incompatible with the character of a soldier who must obey and be loyal to his Lord, under any circumstances, there is a sense of rejection in their hearts,..!" raka Senggani.
" Ngger , it's because they have not jumped directly into being a soldier, if later they have been inside for a long time they will get used to such things, said Ki Bekel.
Raka Senggani Then explained to the leader of Kenanga village without the intention of hunting him, that sometimes being a soldier is very painful, very painful, because we are indeed required to set aside all feelings especially in this case is a personal matter, we are prosecuted and demanded continuously without being able to argue, of course, boredom will befall us,..moreover, we have a desire that is not in harmony with the army, our hearts will certainly rebel, so it will be highly suspect if one has to stop in the middle of the road , or even made just like a person who can be ordered without knowing the word to argue , heard the explanation of the Senopati.
Because he himself had felt it, when he would propose to Sari Kemuning, at that time he had to pray to bang Wetan, lucky that he still survived, if not somehow, what happened, he told Ki Bekel.
Seemed Bekel village Kenanga was listening to all the narrations from Raka Senggani, according to him there is true what has been said by Senopati password Demak, this is, but the desire n I can see the only son becomes someone who can be proud of as Senopati Sandi Yuda Demak is very passionate, so it makes him forget the wishes of his own son.
Seeing this, Raka Senggani did not want to quash the hope of the number one person from the village, he then said ,..
" But okay, Ki Bekel, maybe after my wedding,..Kakang Andara or Kakang Witangsa will enter Senggani into my army, and Senggani hopes to Ki Bekel, not to force his desire if they will come out later, Senggani said, let this be just a realization, and if one day they still want to continue, Senggani himself will ask Kanjeng Sinuwun to accept them as a soldier Demak,.." terang Raka Senggani's.
" Okay Ngger.aki is very grateful if you want to bring them in the unity of the soldiers that Angger Senggani leads, hopefully they will want to become a soldier,.." sahut Ki Bekel's.
" Hopefully Ki, we both pray, so that later they are ready to become a soldier, ." cried Raka Senggani.
Not forgetting the young man asked the existence of Jati Andara, Ki Bekel's son was not visible to the nose, since Senopati Milky Way stepped on his feet at Ki Bekel's house.
By Ki Bekel answered, that this sast his son was at Uncle's house in the village sebrang, as if - want to calm his mind.
Raka Senggani did understand the attitude of his friend and student, because before his departure to the eastern region, he had complained to him about the attitude of his parents.
And it turns out, it seems that Ki Bekel is difficult to accept the decision of his son who is not willing to become a soldier, he still insists his son must follow in his footsteps.
