The Ancestral Country
Candani, Harsa and Gentala

Previously, Mapatih Jayakerti was afraid that Ayu Galuh would not allow Panji Watugunung to serve, but seeing Prabu Samarawijaya's daughter was big-spirited, there was a form of admiration for Ayu Galuh.

Ayu Galuh used to be stamped by oppositionist Prabu Samarawijaya for never obeying the rules in the Daha palace, likes to act arbitrarily on his own, a little cruel and wins himself. But after marrying Panji Watugunung, the bengal nature of Ayu Galuh slowly disappeared and changed like a king's daughter.

"Gusti Mapatih,

I will leave in disguise to make it easier to get into Kawali. For security support, I asked all the passwords along the way to see me.

Half full moon after I leave, please Senopati Narapraja soon overtake me in Kalingga.

Is it acceptable Gusti Mapatih?", Panji Watugunung stared at the face of Mapatih Jayakerti immediately.

The Panjalu kingdom warangka smiled faintly.

"I understand what Gusti Prince wants. Before leaving for Galuh Pakuan, please Gusti Pangeran to the Daha palace to receive the newsletter that will be given to Prabu Darmaraja in Kawali", replied Mapatih Jayakerti later.

The Watugunung banner nodded in agreement. Mapatih Jayakerti and Senopati Narapraja that night spent the night at the Bracelets, while watching the performance of the celebration of the birth of the Regent's grandchildren Bracelets.

The next day, the group of Mapatih Jayakerti left the palace of Bracelets and returned to Daha. Panji Watugunung promised to be on duty after the ceremony of his son who also determined the name for the baby.

That night, the ceremony was like the son of Panji Watugunung attended by the Duke of Seloageng Tejo Sumirat and Nararya Candradewi. Tejo Sumirat laughed heartily at the name of his grandson. Nararya Candradewi ceaselessly shed tears of happiness.

Morning is coming. Black cloudy darkens warmly in the morning sky. Sunlight difficulty penetrating his thick clouds made the morning weather feel cold. Birds chirping and chasing in tree branches, a sign of the rainy season soon to come to the earth Panjalu.

After making preparations, the Watugunung Panji immediately called Warigalit.

"Warigalit's back, though,

This time I can't take you to Kawali. I asked Kakang to Sanggur and prepare everything for preparation to Kalingga half full again.

Does Kakang not mind?", asked Panji Watugunung with a faint smile.

"Good Dhimas, okay,

Leave it all to me", Warigalit nodded in understanding.

"I'm signing a newsletter for Uncle Saketi,

Let him later share what I have decided", added Panji Watugunung immediately.

Patugunung banner then approached Dewi Anggarawati and Ayu Galuh. His two wives looked sad.

"Don't worry Dinda Anggarawati, Kakang will be back safely.

Take good care of my son as long as I run the task" said Panji Watugunung who immediately responded to the nod of the head of Dewi Anggarawati.

"Dinda Galuh, please,

During Kakang's stint, Dinda was good here. This time Kakang can't invite you along. Salvation The little banner on your belly is the foremost one", Panji Watugunung stroked Ayu Galuh's black hair. The beautiful woman immediately sobbed.

"Kangmas must promise to go home immediately when this task is completed" said Ayu Galuh immediately. Panji Watugunung directly hugged the bodies of his two wives. Not to forget he kissed the forehead of Panji Tejo Laksono in the sling of Dewi Anggarawati.

"Chemp, please,

This time I can't take you with me. Please help these two brothers of yours as long as I'm not around. I promise you after duty, I'll marry you.

Can you help me?", Panji Watugunung looks at the face of Cempluk Rara Sunti who stands behind Dewi Anggarawati and Ayu Galuh.

"I promise Kakang, I will take care of my two brothers like taking care of my own life" replied Cempluk Rara Sunti with a radiant face.

After saying goodbye to his family, Panji Watugunung and his three concubines immediately jumped on their horses. After turning his head for a while, the son of the Bracelet Regent was pounding his horse darting rapidly towards the direction of the Daha palace.

Dewi Anggarawati, Ayu Galuh and Cempluk Rara Sunti stared at the departure of Panji Watugunung and his three concubines until they disappeared in the corner of the road.

By midday, Panji Watugunung has arrived at the Dahanapura palace. Mapatih Jayakerti immediately escorted them to the king's private room.

The Prabu Samarawijaya gave Chandrakapala a badge, a letter to Prabu Darmaraja in Kawali and supplies travel to the four of them.

After facing Raja Panjalu, they headed to the Kepatihan ward to change clothes. Now they dress up like a swordsman in the style of ordinary people.

Panji Watugunung and his three concubines immediately drove their horses towards the crossing pier towards Anjuk Padang. They will travel to Kawali, through Lasem, Kalingga, Kembang Kuning, and Rajapura. They will not go to Paguhan in the south of Rajapura before going to Kawali first.

By late afternoon, Panji Watugunung and his three concubines decided to rest at an inn in Pakuwon Berbek area, where they had once stopped, Kembang Sore Lodging.

A young man who served as a waiter, immediately welcomed the arrival of Panji Watugunung and his three concubines when they entered the inn after giving horse restraints to horsemen Lodging Kembang Sore. He frowned feeling familiar with the faces of the 4 people.

"Welcome to Afternoon Flower Inn, Young Swordsman. Looks like you guys have come here before.

Am I right?", asked the servant immediately.

"Your eyes are quite observant as well in remembering people. That's right, we've stayed here before", replied Panji Watugunung with a faint smile.

"Oh very good..

Let's have a seat. I will prepare dinner for you", said the waiter kindly.

The Afternoon Flower Inn still remains as crowded as when they came.

The four of them got a table in one corner of the dining room. Not long after, Panji Watugunung and his three concubines had enjoyed the delicious food served by the young maid.

After eating together, Sekar Mayang who took care of the payment for them overnight. 10 pieces of silver he gave to the waiter, as a fare for food and overnight. That night they rested quietly.

The next morning, Panji Watugunung and his three concubines continued their journey after breakfast. Not to forget a piece of silver was given to the farmers who had given green grass to their horses. 2 the thick man immediately gave thanks repeatedly, repeatedly, because a piece of silver is equal to half their salary for 10 working days.

The cloudy weather led their horses to the border of Lasem.

At the edge of the forest near the border between Lasem and Anjuk Field they stopped for a moment to rest. The Watugunung banner immediately tied the reins of his horse to the shrub tree that grew on the edge of the forest. The concubines followed the steps of the husband.

Dewi Srimpi opened the supplies they bought in the city of Pakuwon that they had passed.

As they were enjoying the food, from the east three horsemen approached towards them. A woman in white and 2 men in the same dress. They seem to be brothers.

The three of them immediately descended upon seeing Panji Watugunung and his three concubines.

"Sorry Kisanak,

Is this the way to Lasem?", asked the woman while looking at the face of Panji Watugunung.

"According to the population in the woman, if it is straight to the city of the Duchy of Lasem, nisanak but when it reaches Pakuwon Poh Telu, turn left will go to Kalingga", the", watugunung replied while biting his boiled banana.

"Are you not a resident of Kisanak?", asked the thin-moustached young man behind the woman.

"What a coincidence, we're also going to Kalingga. Should we travel together if you don't mind?

More and more people, we can protect each other right?", said the woman in white politely.

"Aren't you afraid that we're doing nisanak evil?", Ratna Pitaloka spoke up.

The woman smiled thinly.

"Seeing your neat and polite way of dressing, you are definitely not a bad person.

As the beginning of our friendship, I'm Candani. This is my younger brother Harsa and Gentala".

The two young men beside the woman named Candani nodded.

"If you are not suspicious, we thank you for your trust.

I'm Watugunung, this is Pitaloka, that's Mayang and the one behind me is Srimpi", Panji Watugunung smiled faintly.

"Please sit down, we have a little bit of food. It was good to stomach up", Ratna Pitaloka invited the three people to sit down together.

Then they talked warmly. After eating, they continued their journey. The afternoon. The sky is red in the western horizon.

Not yet had time to enter the city of Pakuwon Poh Telu, dozens of creepy-faced people intercepted them outside the city of Pakuwon.

"Stop!

Shouted a thick-moustached man with a stocky body.

"Give me your treasure, otherwise I'll take the lives of you all".

Phuihh

"But rotten, though,

Tired of your life apparently", Gentala the big body swerved sharply towards the begal horde.

"Fuckers!!

Kill them all", cried the begal's head immediately.

The dozens of people immediately charged forward while pulling out their respective weapons.

Gentala directly lunged towards one of the members of the begal.

Bukkkk

Gentala's hard kick immediately made the begal member fall down instantly.

Harsa doesn't want to lose. Gentala's older brother immediately jumped into the air and slashed a sword towards the neck of a member of the begal.

Crashhhh

The begal member died with his neck almost broken.

Candani was the same, quickly the woman in white clothes darted quickly towards the begal leader while swinging her sword. The begal leader wavered as Candani's sword aimed rapidly at her neck. Hunt him down and roll to the ground.

A fierce fight soon ensued.

When Sekar Mayang was about to jump, he immediately undo his intention when Panji Watugunung gave a signal not to move.

Candani continued to attack the begal's head with her quick stance.

One by one the boys began to fall in the hajar Harsa and Gentala. Seeing the unfavorable circumstances for him, the begal head immediately attacked with a gesture of deceit. Then he fled into the thick of a tree in the darkness of twilight.

Phuihh

"It's cowardly. Play blur just like that", said Candani while sheathing back her sword.

"Brokers are great, we are lucky to travel with you" said Panji Watugunung with a faint smile.

"Don't humble the children, I know you also have martial skills. Let's continue the journey", Candani immediately jumps on her horse in the follow Harsa and Gentala. They immediately rushed to leave the place as it was getting dark.

At an inn on the edge of the city of Pakuwon Poh Telu, the seven of them immediately stopped. They came in and ordered food. As they were engrossed in the dishes, a long-haired man with a scar on his cheek, approached them.

"Are you Watugunung?"
