*******
While it is far from Kotaraja Demak, precisely in Kenanga village in the house of Juragan Tarya.
Tara Rindayu was sitting with her parents.
" What is your fate, Nduk, it seems that Angger Senggani is not willing to marry you,!" juragan Tarya.
" Oalah, nduk, my beautiful daughter, just got married, has become a widow for a while, and seems reluctant to propose again,!" the Juragan Wife of Tarya.
" I don't know Mbok, it may have been a sign of fate that I have to accept all of this" said Tara Rindayu.
" Maybe people are reluctant to propose to you because Romo has mentioned a competition that anyone who can save you is the one who will marry you" said Juragan Tarya.
The richest man in Kenanga village seemed to feel guilty for what he had said.
" Dearly the one who saved you, Angger Senggani is not willing to marry you.
" It seems we can not expect too much to Raka Jaya's son kakang,!". exclaimed Tara Rindayu's mother.
" But even so, we still have to wait for his decision and in this case has been conveyed to Ki Lamiran,!" replied Juragan Tarya.
" Yes, but until when is that decision we wait, until the age of our daughter is old,!" said Tara Rindayu's mother with a high tone.
" If he's not willing he should have said so we're not too hopeful,!" said again.
" But now it is the duty of Angger Senggani again many, Nyai, so he has not had time to decide, maybe after returning from Pajang, he will give news here, " said Juragan Tarya.
" If according to Rindayu, Kakang Senggani is not willing to make me as his wife, " explained Tara Rindayu.
" Huhhh, "
The two husband and wife were surprised to hear the words of her only daughter.
" Where do you know that, Nduk,?" ask Juragan Tarya.
He was very curious about what his daughter had said.
" Some time ago, when Kakang Senggani was here, Rindayu once asked this question,!'' answer Tara Rindayu.
" So what's the word, Nduk,?" ask Juragan Tarya's wife.
" The answer is not to refuse and do not accept, he said he did not want to get married at this time because there are still many tasks that must be carried out,!" answer Tara Rindayu.
" It is true what I said, brother, he is not willing to accept our daughter as his wife, or perhaps,.....!" the wife of the Tarya juragan.
" Don't what Nyai, your words are unclear,?" juragan Tarya asked his wife.
While glancing at her daughter, Juragan Tarya's wife said,
" If not Senggani angger has had his own candidate to be made a wife," he said.
" Ahhh, don't ngaco Nyai, if indeed he has a candidate of course he has rejected our daughter,!" juragan Tarya.
" Is that right, Nduk,?" juragan Tarya asked his daughter.
Looking down, Tara Rindayu replied,
" As it is, Father,"
" Whose son does the Senggani Anger want, then,?" ask Juragan Tarya again.
" It looks like Ki Jagabaya's son, Romo," replied Tara Rindayu.
" Sari Kemuning you mean,?" ask Juragan Tarya.
Tara Rindayu's head nodded, assuring.
" There is no way Angger Senggani likes Sari Kemuning, he did not hate him very much,!" the Juragan Tarya.
" Another first is now, people's hearts can change, was not the first brother very hate Angger Senggani but now even the brother who hopes to be able to make it as a son-in-law,!" lang Nyai Tarya's.
Juragan Tarya was silent, he confirmed the words of his wife, indeed he had hated Raka Jaya's son.
" Ahhh, I don't know, it may be true what you say,!". said Juragan Tarya in a lethargic tone.
" And one thing Romo, it seems Kakang Senggani prefers women who can defend themselves aka have silat, silat, so Rindayu wants to ask permission from Romo and the mbok to learn silat,!" tara Rindayu.
" Hahhh, study silat,?"
Asked the two parents in shock, they did not expect the only princess of his puppet had the intention to learn silat, as happened mostly to the youths of Kenanga village.
" Maybe better not, Nduk, because with your departure from here will certainly make us very lost, in addition, you here have no shortcomings including to keep you," said Juragan Tarya.
" But Father, considering the events of that time, the guards whom Romo trusted betrayed me and almost plunged me into the valley of blasphemy" replied Tara Rindayu.
Juragan Tarya again confirmed the words of his daughter, but releasing the princess to study, is something that is very difficult to do.
" Do you not feel sorry for the two of us, Nduk, ?". asked Tara Rindayu's mother.
The mother stroked her daughter's hair gently with affection.
" It's not that he does not love you two, but at this time Rindayu feels he has to do something for the continuation of life from the problems that have befallen me, Rindayu does not want to rest on his hands, mbok, mbok, Rindayu must fetch her own happiness,!" tara Rindayu.
There was a sense of despair from the tone of his speech that was. Although he had to hide it in front of his parents.
" How will it be for both of us to be left behind by you, Nduk?". asked Juragan Tarya.
" As long as we are all still given health and longevity, of course we will be able to regroup,!". replied Tara Rindayu
" Are you really steady, Nduk , for all your decisions,?" ask Tara Rindayu's mother.
" It was better, than Rindayu had to wait for something unclear better Rindayu tried to be able to learn silat, even though it was difficult,!". replied Tara Rindayu.
" It is very difficult, Nduk, especially for the two of us, after you have been successfully released from Singo Lorok's hands, want his taste we can gather continuously, after you have been released from the hands of Singo Lorok, because what this much treasure means in comparison to yourself, you are the jewel of our hearts,!" juragan Tarya.
Juragan Tarya was seen to be disoriented by the decision of his daughter.
" Where would you study, then?". asked the mother.
" If according to Rindayu as well as to Mount Merapi, besides not too far from here, in the Merapi padepokan also many female cantrik,!" answer Tara Rindayu.
" How are we going to release the departure of Rindayu to Merapi?". asked the mother again.
This time the question was even silent, as if mute a thousand languages, Juragan Tarya was not able to answer the question of the wife, the feeling was very heavy to release the departure of the only princess of his puppet.
" How is Kakang, are we going to approve Rindayu's request,?" ask Nyai Juragan Tarya again.
" It is up to you, nyai, I cannot make a decision, it is up to you" replied Juragan Tarya.
This time Tarya's change of nyai who can not decide, he was silent while staring at his daughter, long he looked at her, then he said, then he said,
" It is very hard to let you go, Nduk, but because it has become your wish so we hope that later it will be finished as soon as possible come back, because we won't stand in your long stay, Nduk," said the mother.
" Thank you, Rindayu promised to return soon after getting knowledge from the Merapi store, hopefully this situation will not be long," said Tara Rindayu.
Finally, the beautiful girl got the blessing of both her parents to study at Mount Merapi. Indeed, after the subtle rejection of Raka Senggani, Tara Rindayu was determined to be able to match Sari Kemuning, who seemed to get a place in the young man's heart.
After the completion of the talks from the Tarya Juragan family, then Tara Rindayu prepares his departure to Merapi. He pretty much prepared provisions including money and some jewelry as a woman.
Juragan Tarya himself prepared three of his bodyguards who will participate with Tara Rindayu to take care of his daughter during the trip.
In accordance with the specified day departed the four men headed to Mount Merapi to deliver Tara Rindayu to study.
On her way, Tara Rindayu accompanied a woman who also became a bodyguard in her house. From the woman that he got a suitable place to study.Because the woman was also a former student of Merapi.
When the four horses were restful in a fig near a forest, visible from a distance dust billowing sign there were several horses heading to the place.
After a long time it was seen that some of the soldiers on display were hanging.
As he approached the spot, one of the soldiers stopped his horse and went down followed by another friend.
He then greeted Tara Rindayu's entourage,
" I'm sorry before, where are you and where are you going,?" ask the soldier leader.
" We're with Kenanga and are going to Merapi,!'' replied the Chief of the guard Tara Rindayu.
" Want to Merapi, and you are from Kenanga village, is not that place the birthplace of senopati Brastha Abipraya village,?". asked the leader of the soldier again.
" Right ki Rangga, Kenanga village is the home of the senopati Brastha Abipraya,!". replied the leader of the bodyguard Tara Rindayu.
" What need do you have to go to Merapi,!" ask the leader of the soldiers who rank Rangga.
While glancing towards Tara Rindayu, the leader of the bodyguard said,
" We will deliver this ayu to study to Padepokan Merapi," he replied.
Then the leader of the soldiers looked one by one at the company and he said,
" Beware, especially near the mentaok plinth because at this time we were hunting some of the herds of robbers who fled to here, he said, our message is not to stay in the forest if it is night, you better rest in a pedukuhan or patesan," said the leader of the soldiers.
" Thank you Ki Rangga for his advice, we will obey all Ki Rangga's messages,!" replied the bodyguard leader Tara Rindayu.
" Alright then, we will continue our journey, goodbye," said the Pajang warrior leader.
" Goodbye, Ki Rangga" said the group leader from Tara Rindayu.
