The Ancestral Country
Divine Guidance
It has been 2 weeks Mapatih Narotama and Rakryan Jayakerti stayed in Siwatantra Penanggungan. During there he studied religion while waiting for the Mpu Barada from his semedi
"Gusti Mapatih,
Shouldn't Resi Mpu Barada be meeting us today?" jayakerti asked as she stared at the face of Narotama
"Sabar Jayakerti, I know you've lost the atmosphere of Kotaraja Kahuripan", replied Mapatih Narotama with a smile, "but our duty of Gusti Prabu Airlangga is more important than just kangen hehehe"
"Hamba does not dare Gusti Mapatih" said Jayakerti while looking down
'How Gusti Mapatih can guess the contents of my heart' Jayakerti's inner self while condemning his stupidity..
Then suddenly a young cantrik ran
heading towards the two of them.
"Although Gusti Mapatih, Danghyang Mpu Barada has finished meditating, waiting for Gusti Mapatih in the hall"
"Well, I'll be there" said Mapatih Narotama who immediately rushed to the Siwatantra hall while following Rakryan Jayakerti
Arriving there, they were waiting for Mpu Barada with a smile
"Monggo Pinarak Gusti Mapatih,
sorry to make Gusti Mapatih have to stay in this quiet place longer"
"What is Kakang Mpu, I only carry out what is my duty from Gusti Prabu Airlangga" replied Mapatih Narotama, "How is Kakang, there is already a hint from the Gods for this matter?"
"Already Gusti Mapatih, but we should talk with Gusti Prabu Airlangga not in this place" replied Mpu Barada
Hmmmm
"Please Gusti Mapatih Narotama not offended by my answer, because this matter is very sensitive. I am afraid that it will cause different interpretations if not directly with Gusti Prabu Airlangga" said Mpu Barada
"Yes Kakang, I understand her,
When do we go to Kahuripan Kakang Mpu?" ask Mapatih Narotama
"Faster is better Gusti Mapatih, because the sooner this will be resolved the better" said the Mpu
"Jayakerti, prepare your subordinates..
Tomorrow morning we leave for Kahuripan"
tell the Mapatih
" Gusti Mapatih is ready for me to do"
Jayakerti immediately set up the prayer and then retreated from the hall to prepare supplies for tomorrow's trip back to Kotaraja Kahuripan..
.
.
.
The next morning, the entourage of Mapatih Narotama with a horse carriage carrying Resi Mpu Barada left for the palace Kahuripan
**
Meanwhile in Kotaraja Kahuripan, the atmosphere is getting heated up
Two fortresses were formed in the palace.
The dukes of Seloageng, Wengker, Anjuk Laddang, Tanggulangin, Karanganom in favor of Samara Wijaya followed by Mahamantri i Sirkan, several young Senopati, and influential tumenggung
While the stronghold of Mapanji Garasakan supported by the Duke of Ujung Galuh, Kanjuruhan, Dinoyo, Lamajang and Mahamantri i Halu, several regents percikan, 2 Senopati sepuh and 1 bearded from the east
Each camp has prepared their weapons and themselves if civil war erupts at any time..

"The Back of Watugunung, the,
This fish is ripe"
shouted Anggarawati calling Panji Watugunung who was splitting dry wood with an axe
The sweat was still on his forehead,
He smiled faintly and walked over to Anggarawati who blew the hot-baked fish away.
It has been two weeks Dewi Anggarawati has been living in a wooden cabin where she trained. The beautiful girl was getting closer to Watugunung, either because of the kindness of Watugunung or fascinated by the good looks of the young man who turned 18 years old.
"Come kakang, the hunt to eat mumpung is still warm" said the girl while thrusting grilled fish towards Watugunung with a smile.
"Or kakang want to drink first, let me get it", rushed Dewi Anggarawati headed to the wooden hut of the girl after the grilled fish received the Watugunung Panji..
'This girl, not yet answered has been playing stay. Is she really a noble's daughter?' watugunung Gerrutu
" This is my brother's drink first"
"Thank you Denayu Anggarawati, Denayu should not bother to take me all drinking water" Watugunung said while glancing at Anggarawati who grumbled because of his speech..
"I'm not at the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng, so stop calling me like that or I don't want to talk to the leg again" said Anggarawati sewot while grumpily leaving Watugunung to the log cabin
"Yes Denayu uh yayi Anggarawati, brother apologizes..." Watugunung half yelled..
'Hihihi, feel now you're a sisang. It's good to be scolded' Anggarawati smiled thinly while pura ketus
"Yes." she answered.
"Kog's still mad? I've apologized." said Watugunung softly
"Tell" answered Anggarawati briefly while pura pura busy tidying up her bed
"Keep what should I do so that yayi Anggarawati is no longer angry at the leg? " panji Watugunung said..
The nun smiled cunningly, though,
then he said, "Get me a rooster egg"..
"Hahhhh!!!
It is difficult yayi" said Panji Watugunung
" It's none of my business, though,
anyway I'm gonna have dinner with the jungle chicken eggs, period! " The nurse answered
"Yes yes Kakang find" said Panji Watugunung stepped out
'Duh, you palace princess. Spoiled her for mercy'
Goddess Anggarawati smiled faintly seeing the man enter the small forest with a grunt in annoyance.
'It turns out he was so nice to me, so I liked him even more. Gusti God match me with him '.....
.
.
.
Until the afternoon, Watugunung has not returned to the log cabin. Dewi Anggarawati briefly stared at the path on the edge of the small forest with worry.
As soon as he saw the face of the handsome man who missed him, Anggarawati smiled and then scattered towards him..
"Where's Kakang?
Got the jungle chicken eggs?
How many legs can it be?? "
"If you ask one, confused kakang answer her" replied Panji Watugunung garuk head while handing over 12 eggs of hens forest
Goddess Anggarawati grimaces,
"Sorry, I'm angry"
"All right, boil it. Watch out you don't spend it..
Tonight I want to eat this piggy meat alone" Watugunung threatened while throwing the body of a small wild boar that died by his arrow..
.
.
.
Tonight, a thin fog descended over the slopes of Arjuna. The atmosphere of the night was so calm as to be a tired introduction
Panji Watugunung is engrossed in eating his celeng meat while Dewi Anggarawati is busy peeling the eggshell of the forest chicken
"Yayi can I ask you? " panji Watugunung said stop the movement of Dewi Anggarawati peeling the eggshell of the forest chicken..
'There's Kakang Watugunung like that'
"Yes, please brother, please,
What do you want to ask?" dewi Anggarawati replied staring at Panji Watugunung
" How did yayi get to that place?" tanya Watugunung
" Honestly, don't lie to me"
Huhhhhhhhhhhhh...
With an upset breath, Dewi Anggarawati said
"Actually I was kidnapped by Kakang, while I was walking in the market near the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng"
"Hahhh how can it??
what is yayi walking without an escort? " Panji Watugunung was surprised
"It's not like that, though,
At first I was angry at Kanjeng Father Duke who said he wanted to match his daughter with the son of one of Isyana's royal relatives who became Akuwu in Dahanapura.."
Deggs..
The heart of Patugunung Panji as in the big rock bang heard the narration of Goddess Anggarawati
"Princess Father Duke there are three, I am the youngest, there is still Yunda Dewi Anggarasari and Yunda Dewi Anggarasasi, but they are not married while the Father Duke forces me.. But as his daughter I cannot resist the wishes of Father Duke..
I was upset, then decided to walk the road outside the duchy walls, arrived I was in the head of the group of kidnappers led by the Tigers Beetle.
I was shoveled and brought this Hantang area,
I managed to escape from the guards at their base but the panther's accomplices continued to hunt me..
Good thing I'm sister please, otherwise somehow my fate" Anggarawati mutely while staring at the dark night sky..
"If you may know, what is the name of the distant brother Romo mu yayi" asked Watugunung Panji
"Mountainsari banner"
