The Ancestral Country
Birth of the First Son
The face of Mapatih Jayakerti immediately sourly read the cryptic letter. Senopati Narapraja who was nearby could not help but ask.
"What is Gusti Mapatih? Is there something bad?".
Unknowingly, Mapatih Jayakerti directly reached out a decryption letter that she had just read. Senopati Narapraja's eyes immediately widened to see the writing on the white cloth.
"I-this ..???.
Senopati Narapraja's voice seemed to stop in his throat.
Huuhhh..
Mapatih Jayakerti grunts long. Not long ago the problem with Jenggala was resolved, but there was another problem at the western border. Paguhan is a fragment of Kalingga in addition to Yellow Flower when the region was conquered by Airlangga. Its inhabitants are mixed Pasundan tatar society, has a culture and nature that is different from the eastern and central Java Dwipa region.
"We must quickly face Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya, Narapraja.
This news is not a joke news", said the Mapatih Jayakerti immediately.
"Absolutely Gusti Mapatih, we should immediately face", Narapraja, Senopati who had just been appointed as the great Senopati in place of Ganggadara nodded his head in agreement.
The two Dahanapura palace magnates immediately rushed to the Daha palace to report this important news.
Incidentally, in the king's private room, Ranggawangsa the Nayakapraja was facing Prabu Samarawijaya. Mapatih Jayakerti and Senopati Narapraja immediately worshipped to the Maharaja of Samarawijaya and sat cross-legged before him.
"Please forgive a thousand Gusti Prabu,
There is a big problem that Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya needs to know", said Mapatih Jayakerti while respecting.
"Say Jayakerti, what is it?", asked Sang Prabu Samarawijaya as he raised his right hand.
"Just received the news from telik sandi. Paguhan planned to rebel Gusti Prabu", replied Mapatih Jayakerti immediately.
"WHATAAAA??!!!
Prabu Samarawijaya immediately stood up from his seat. Mapatih Jayakerti immediately set up a piece of white cloth that he just received. Samarawijaya's eyes stared at the writing.
"Kandakusuma, please,
How dare you want to make a mockery. I will crush you like a caterpillar", cried the Prabu Samarawijaya loudly.
"For thousands of mercy Gusti Prabu,
We better investigate this problem first. Battling Paguhan was easy Gusti Prabu, but Gandakusuma was still Prabu Darmaraja's brother from Galuh Pakuan. Servants are afraid that if we are not careful, it will only be the beginning of hostilities with Galuh Pakuan. On the other hand we also have to face Jenggala who started to open new rice fields on our border. I am sure, there is something prepared by Mapanji Garasakan this time", said Ranggawangsa the Nayakapraja while respecting Prabu Samarawijaya.
Hmmmm
Prabu Samarawijaya snorted loudly. What Ranggawangsa said there is a point as well. Fighting Paguhan is not difficult, but if Darmaraja intervenes, then the war between Galuh Pakuan and Panjalu must occur.
"Well what is your proposal Uncle Ranggawangsa?", asked Sang Prabu Mapatih while looking at Ranggawangsa.
"Although Gusti Prabu,
If I may propose, we should send an envoy to Galuh Pakuan first to find out how deep the involvement of Prabu Darmaraja for this problem.
Then if Prabu Darmaraja is not involved, then we just take action on the issue of Paguhan Gusti Prabu. That's what the servant thought", Ranggawangsa immediately saluted.
"Well, I accept your suggestion Uncle Ranggawangsa, please,
So who are we asking to go to Galuh Pakuan? Facing Prabu Darmaraja is not an easy matter. Must have high canuragan ability also smart talking.
Who are you proposing Uncle? Is Balapati?", asked Sang Prabu Samarawijaya immediately.
Ranggawangsa let out a long breath. Balapati was still his nephew, sending her to Galuh Pakuan could be very dangerous for his safety.
"For thousands of mercy Gusti Prabu,
I heard that Balapati's mother is sick while on the eastern border also supervises the Jenggala movement. He's not good at talking anyway.
We should just find someone else for this problem", Ranggawangsa respect to the Emperor Samarawijaya.
Hmmmm
The Prabu Samarawijaya looked like he was thinking hard.
"Jayakerti, uh,
Who are you proposing?", The Prabu Samarawijaya looked at the Mapatih Jayakerti who looked like he was weighing something.
"For thousands of mercy Gusti Prabu,
Servants feel our best choice at this time is only Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung, in addition to martial skills that need not be doubted, his diplomacy ability is quite good.
But.", Mapatih Jayakerti stopped his talk.
"However what is Jayakerti? Go ahead", Sang Prabu Samarawijaya immediately looked into the kingdom of Panjalu carefully.
"Hamba listen, Gusti Putri Ayu Galuh is pregnant young. Servant is only afraid if he will be angry if we send Gusti Pangeran Panji to be an ambassador to Galuh Pakuan", Mapatih Jayakerti respect to the Emperor of Samarawijaya.
The Daha King was twitching his temple. His head ached thinking about this situation.
"Jayakerti, uh,
Haven't we given Galuh's pregnancy a gift yet?", suddenly an intelligent thought flashed through the king's head.
"Although Gusti Prabu,
We have not given it", Mapatih Jayakerti a little confused to hear Prabu Samarawijaya's speech.
"Give some treasure chests and silk cloths to Ayu Galuh. Also some rice and palawija. 20 buffalo as well. Bring the gift directly.
Later forward a newsletter from me to Panji Watugunung and Ayu Galuh. To be more convincing, you must go.
Narapraja,
accompany Mapatih Jayakerti to the Bracelets", The Daha King smiled meaningfully.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu", Mapatih Jayakerti and Senopati Narapraja immediately saluted the Maharaja of Samarawijaya and retreated from the king's private room to do the order of the king of Daha.
The Prabu Samarawijaya breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile in the palace of the Bracelet District.
At the Putren Bracelets, dozens of ladies were busy preparing warm water and all the uborampe gave birth.
Apparently Dewi Anggarawati has reached her childbirth. Since this morning, the beautiful woman had complained that her stomach hurt. The palace physician of Gelang-ganggung Regency who checked directly knew that the youngest daughter of the Duke of Seloageng was about to give birth.
Two baby shamans had accompanied the princess in her bedroom cubicle.
Panji Watugunung pacing directly in front of the princely hall Bracelets. There was a panicked look on the handsome man's face. Dewi Srimpi who went back and forth into the room, seemed to wipe the sweat on his forehead when he came out of the delivery room.
Patugunung Panji immediately approached the concubine.
"How is Dinda Srimpi? Why was not born yet?", asked Panji Watugunung with anxious mimicry.
"Patience Denmas, please,
Any minute. Denmas prayed first that Kangmbok Anggarawati soon gave birth", replied Dewi Srimpi with a faint smile.
"It's Good, Ngger Cah,
Calm yourself. Pray to Sang Hyang Tunggal, so that the delivery of your wife is smooth" said the Regent Bracelets, Panji Gunungsari with a smile. He tried to calm the heart of Panji Watugunung who looked panicked.
Cempluk Rara Sunti ran to the delivery room.
"This is Kangmbok Srimpi,
Have met what you asked", said Cempluk Rara Sunti while handing over seninjong leaves and fennel pulowaras requested by Dewi Srimpi. The daughter of the Koro centipede smiled and immediately entered the Anggarawati bedroom.
Suddenly the sky around the town of Bracelets became dark. And the lightning snatched with a loud voice.
Jilg!!!
Simultaneously, baby cries were heard from the room of Dewi Anggarawati.
Oooeeeeekkk!!!
Oeeekk!!
Everyone looked directly at the source of the voice. Dewi Srimpi immediately opened the door to Dewi Anggarawati's room.
"Denmas Panji survived, though,
Kangmbok Anggarawati gave birth to a son" said Dewi Srimpi who immediately got a big smile from everyone. Panji Watugunung smiles with relief.
Soon Panji Watugunung and his family went into the bedroom of Dewi Anggarawati. The Regent's son The bracelets immediately embraced the smiling Goddess Anggarawati with her pale face. Rona tired from giving birth to a son was clearly visible on her face.
"Dinda Anggarawati, please,
Thank you for giving birth to my children. Thank you Dinda thank you", said Panji Watugunung while hugging the body of the wife.
Dewi Anggarawati smiled happily at the words of her husband. Her fullness as a woman. She became the mother of the man she loved.
Wandansari, the palace lady-in-waiting for Dewi Anggarawati immediately approached Watugunung Panji while handing over the newly completed red baby in the bath.
"This is your son Gusti Prince".
Panji Watugunung carefully carried the tiny baby boy. Her nose and hair were similar to Panji Watugunung, her pure white skin similar to that of her mother.
"You name your son Kangmas?", asked Dewi Anggarawati with a happy smile.
"Because he is a descendant of Lokapala, his first name is Panji. He's Tejo Sumirat's grandson. Coincidentally when she was born together her tejo descends on the Bracelets. So I named Panji Tejo Laksono", replied Panji Watugunung who immediately kissed the forehead of the son.
Everyone looked at each other with smiles adorning their faces. Everyone's happy.
"I'll tell Kakang Tejo Sumirat about his granddaughter. He must be happy" Panji Gunungsari said immediately.
"His grandmother should also know Kangmas Regent. I'll send a messenger to Bukit Lanjar. Dewi Orchid Bulan must be happy", Dewi Pancawati do not want to lose with the husband.
Everyone in the palace of the Bracelets had fun.
Regent Bracelets held a celebration for a full week. Various entertainments are presented at Alun Alun Gelang-gelang, welcoming the birth of the Regent's grandson.
The multifaceted yellow janur was tied to each penjor in the corner corner of the palace Bracelets. The breeze blowing breeze also shook the penjor as if to enliven the atmosphere.
Just on the third day of the birth of the Regent's grandson Bracelets, the group of Mapatih Jayakerti from Daha came to the Bracelets. They were a little surprised to see the yellow stout that adorned the palace of the Bracelets.
"Welcome to the Bracelets, Gusti Mapatih. Forgive me for not welcoming Gusti Mapatih" Panji Gunungsari said, bowing respectfully.
"I was a little surprised to see the number of yellow janurs decorating this palace Gusti Regent, he said,
What celebration is there?", asked Mapatih Jayakerti immediately.
"Just welcome the birth of my grandson, son of Watugunung and Goddess Anggarawati Gusti Mapatih.
Let's talk inside", Panji Gunungsari immediately smiled as he invited Mapatih Jayakerti and Senopati Narapraja into the porch of his private residence.
Panji Watugunung who just carried his little son, immediately handed the Little Panji to Rara Sunti who had followed his steps. Rara Sunti really likes Panji Watugunung's son.
Immediately, he was present in the personal room of the Regent of Bracelets, welcoming the arrival of Mapatih Jayakerti and Senopati Narapraja.
"Congratulations on the birth of your son Gusti Prince, hopefully he can be as tough as his father who became the protector of the kingdom of Panjalu" said Mapatih Jayakerti with a faint smile.
"Thank you for what Gusti Mapatih said.
May the Gusti Mapatih Jayakerti prayer be the hand of my son and be approved by the Gods in Kahyangan.
If you may know, what makes Gusti Mapatih Jayakerti want to come to these Bracelets?", Watugunung Panji responds to the purpose of their arrival.
"Prince Gusti Panji Watugunung is indeed smart, knew before being told..
Servant in Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya to send gifts to Gusti Putri Ayu Galuh. At the same time asking for help to Gusti Pangeran Panji", replied Mapatih Jayakerti with a smile knot.
"Hehehehe..
I had guessed. What help can I do for Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya, Gusti Mapatih?", asked Panji Watugunung later.
"There is news from the telik cipher that says, that Duke Gandakusuma of Paguhan planned to rebel against Daha.
Gusti Prince was asked to investigate this matter to the fullest. However, because Duke Gandakusuma was still a brother of Prabu Darmaraja from Galuh Pakuan, Gusti Prabu requested that Gusti Pangeran go first to Kawali, to see where Prabu Darmaraja was involved", Mapatih Jayakerti respected.
Hmmmm
"Guard, watchman,
Please call Dinda Galuh here", said Panji Watugunung immediately.2 guards immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji and rushed to the Prince Bracelets.
Shortly afterwards, Ayu Galuh was present in the personal room of the Regent of Bracelets accompanied by Wandansari.
"What did Kangmas Panji call me? And Uncle Jayakerti, why is it here?", Ayu Galuh was a little confused.
Mapatih Jayakerti immediately saluted Ayu Galuh and immediately told her about her purpose to the Bracelets.
Hmmmm
'The basis of Father Prabu is indeed cunning', grumbled Ayu Galuh in heart.
"All right, you,
Although I did not want Kangmas Panji Watugunung to go to Kawali, but I was the wife of the Daha knight. I have to be ready to let my husband go on duty.
But I ask for security support from every Daha region that passes through it. Otherwise, don't expect me to let her go from the Bracelets" Ayu Galuh said later.
Mapatih Jayakerti smiled with relief.
