The Ancestral Country
Katang Palace
"Who is looking for me, soldier?", asked Panji Watugunung who immediately stood up from his seat.
"Although Gusti Prince,
There was an old man who claimed to be named Mpu Ganendra wanted to meet. He said it was important Gusti Prince", said the guard soldier while respecting.
"Where is that person?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.
"He's still outside the gate of Gusti Prince's palace, if Gusti Prince deigns to deliver him here", the guard soldier is ready to take orders.
"Make him come in here" said Prince Daha immediately.
The soldier immediately worshipped and retreated from the middle room of the son. Panji Watugunung rushed to the portico of the sons of Bracelets.
An old man dressed as a white hermit with hair in a copper-washed loop seemed to be twisting a flirtatious seed that became a tasbih in his right hand. From his mouth continues to say the puja of Lord Vishnu.
His long white beard covered his chest. From the sumping of fern tendrils of gold in his ears signifies he is a knight who prepares himself for the journey to nirvana.
As soon as the Watugunung Panji came, he immediately turned his head. The guard soldier hurriedly introduced the guest to the Watugunung Panji.
"This is Mpu Ganendra Gusti Prince", said the guard soldier while respecting.
"Please sit down kisanak, sorry if my welcome is not so pleasant to you", Panji Watugunung immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of the foyer to the Prince of Bracelets.
The old man immediately saluted then sat in front of the Watugunung Panji.
"I'm sorry if my arrival, interrupts Gusti Prince's rest. I heard, one of Gusti Prince's concubines named Ratna Pitaloka.
Is that really Gusti Prince?", asked Mpu Ganendra politely.
"Yes, it's true, Mpu..
One of my concubines is named Ratna Pitaloka. Why is Mpu? Is there something wrong with that?", Panji Watugunung looked at the old face before him immediately.
"I'm sorry if my question offends Gusti Prince.
Did Gusti Prince ever ask who his parents were? And where are they?", Mpu Ganendra looked at Panji Watugunung's face feelingly.
"Dinda Pitaloka never told me about her parents. And I don't mind if he doesn't tell me about his origins. Because I love him, and he loves me. And for me it is more than enough" said Panji Watugunung with a thin smile.
"It may be true, Gusti Prince, for Gusti Prince knows Ratna Pitaloka is my nephew. She is the daughter of Mpu Gajendra, my twin sister.
If one day Gusti Prince passes through the Tapan area, please find me.
I made my nephew's life suffer. I'm so sorry.
I want to leave something for Ratna Pitaloka, please Gusti Prince give it to my nephew", Mpu Ganendra immediately gave a necklace of small deer antlers to Panji Watugunung.
Immediately, Panji Watugunung received the necklace immediately. After giving the necklace, Mpu Ganendra please leave to return to Tapan.
Tapan is a Pakuwon with a sea port in the Duchy of Bojonegoro in the Jenggala region. Although not too big as the port of Halong in Kalingga, but as the entrance to Bojonegoro, the port of Tapan has a function like the port of Hujung Galuh which is the largest sea port owned by Jenggala.
Panji Watugunung immediately returned to the garden sari Keputran Bracelets while fondling the necklace.
"Who is Kakang's guest?", asked Sekar Mayang after Watugunung Panji sat with them.
"An old man named Mpu Ganendra from Tapan Dinda" said Panji Watugunung immediately.
Hearing the name Mpu Ganendra called, Ratna Pitaloka immediately approached the husband.
"Did Kakang Watugunung just mention Mpu Ganendra from Tapan?", asked Ratna Pitaloka curiously.
"True Dinda Pitaloka, the,
His name was Mpu Ganendra of Tapan. He left this necklace for Dinda" replied Watugunung as he extended his hand containing the necklace of little deer horns to Ratna Pitaloka.
Ratna Pitaloka was shocked for a moment. The beautiful woman then took off the necklace that was on her neck. Then put the necklace on the table. The two necklaces were exactly the same.
"This is a pair of golden deer antler necklaces, the sign of the twin sons of Duke Bojonegoro, named Ganendra and Gajendra.
Ganendra, became the next Duke of Bojonegoro, while Gajendra chose to become a brahmin in Mount Tapan by marrying the daughter of a hermit in Tapan named Kaniraras", Ratna Pitaloka said while glazed as she said.
"Due to the vile slander of a court duchy lord of the Bojonegoro Duchy, Gajendra was killed by Ganendra when Kaniraras had just given birth to a daughter" Ratna Pitaloka said. Clear tears slowly dripped down her cheeks.
"Where does Dinda Pitaloka know about it?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.
Ratna Pitaloka immediately turned to Panji Watugunung, then hugged her husband's body with a sobbing softly as she said,
"Princess Kaniraras it is I Kakang hiks hyks".
The Watugunung banner immediately stroked Ratna Pitaloka's head. She gently stroked the black hair of this first concubine.
"Have not cried, Dinda,
Our human destiny cannot resist it. What matters now is that Dinda Pitaloka is happy. Next time if we have a chance, then we will visit the grave of your parents", entertain Panji Watugunung immediately.
Ratna Pitaloka immediately nodded in understanding.
The next day, Panji Watugunung fulfilled his promise to Cempluk Rara Sunti to get married. Witnessed by his five other wives, with a simple wedding ceremony at the sons of Bracelets, Cempluk Rara Sunti officially became the seventh wife of Panji Watugunung.
On the next day, Panji Watugunung accompanied by Naganingrum, Srimpi, Ratna Pitaloka, Sekar Mayang and Rara Sunti with Mpu Soma from Ranja headed to Sanggur.
They were immediately greeted by members of the Garuda Panjalu squad with great joy. The news of the appointment of Patugunung Panji as Yuwaraja became a pride for them.
"Happy Wrestling Prince for his appointment as Yuwaraja Panjalu, I have fun" Ki Saketi said in his honor.
"Uncle Saketi don't overdo it, though,
I still keep Panji Watugunung yesterday Uncle", Panji Watugunung smiles thinly.
"Being a Garuda Panjalu army is a great honor for the servant Gusti Prince, moreover Gusti Prince still refers to the servant as uncle. Throughout life, Saketi will faithfully serve Gusti Prince Panji Jayengrana", Ki Saketi smiled knot while returning to respect.
The atmosphere was warm at the headquarters of Garuda Panjalu troops in Sanggur.
"Lu, did you see that Gusti Prince had increased his woman again?", asked Gumbreg quickly.
"Yes Mbreg, why? You're envious?", Ludaka asked.
"Iri is not Lu, just surprised. Kira think Gusti Pangeran uses science huh? Kog can get the beautiful woman?", Gumbreg scratched his non-itchy head.
"Say not envious, but still want to ask her science what? Basic kebo bunting", grumbled Ludaka while downing rice wine that was thrust Jarasanda.
"Yes just know it's okay Lu, my people are also self-conscious. Using any knowledge of compassion, women also do not want to be close to me except Dhek Jum", said Gumbreg memelas.
"Actually if I see, if I see this Gumbreg is quite handsome Lu loh", Jarasanda suddenly came to talk.
Hearing Jarasanda's praise, Gumbreg's nose immediately expanded.
"This is called a true friend. Tau sees the advantages of friends, not just vilifying like you Lu", Gumbreg smiled confidently.
"Where did you see Jar from?", asked Ludaka who was astonished to hear Jarasanda's praise.
"From the top of Mount Kelud, Lu", Jarasanda replied as he downed his liquor.
Huahahaha
Ludaka's laughter immediately broke upon hearing Jarasanda's words. Gumbreg's face was immediately bent.
"Suck, dickhead,
It turns out you guys are the same", Gumbreg immediately went to head towards his residence.
Morning before arriving at the Garuda Panjalu army headquarters. The unpretentious rooster tree woke up all the occupants of the army headquarters. The eastern sky began to turn red with the appearance of the Surya.
That morning Panji Watugunung and his five wives also Mpu Soma of Ranja headed to the western boundary of Pakuwon Kunjang and Pakuwon Kadri. They were escorted by Gumbreg, Ludaka, Warigalit, Ratri and 20 soldiers.
Upstream of the small river, Mpu Soma smiled meaningfully. In his meditation to get the Gods instructions about the location of the palace for the Watugunung Panji, he got a dumpling to walk down a small river that was upstream under the rock. Then in the west of the small river, there was an eagle nest on the top of a tall tree with a rectangular basket.
"Gusti Prince, Prince,
The palace for you already exists. Look at the Rocks that are the nests of eagles at the end of this tree.
It was a sign of the wangsit I got", Mpu Soma said with a meaningful smile.
"Thank you for the instructions, Rishi. After this I will go back to Daha, informing me that I have obtained a place to live", Panji Watugunung salutes Resi Mpu Soma of Ranja.
And so, after the Watugunung Panji returned to Daha and told Prabu Samarawijaya, then began the construction of a palace for the Yuwaraja.
Hundreds of Daha soldiers and Garuda Panjalu troops work hand in hand to clear the small forest on the border of Pakuwon Kadri, Kunjang and Watugaluh. Quickly, news of Yuwaraja's palace building received attention from the residents of Daha.
They flocked from various regions to open the land around the palace Yuwaraja to enliven the atmosphere around the new palace.
In the time of three full moons, the magnificent palace stands in the area called Kadiri by people who live around the palace of Yuwaraja called Katang-katang Palace.
When the palace was finished, Panji Watugunung brought Ayu Galuh who was pregnant and old to the palace of Katang-katang.
The magnificent palace has 7 small palaces for each of the wives of Panji Watugunung and a private place of Yuwaraja as the residence of the Prince of Daha.
Meanwhile, Ranggawangsa, who was increasingly furious to see a lot of support for Panji Watugunung, chose to leave Dahanapura City. He returned to his native place in the Duchy of Muria after Prabu Samarawijaya rejected his proposal to make Wiramukti as Mahamantri I Hino.
Ranggawangsa planned his rebellion.
By instigating the Duke of Muria who is still brother to him, with a quick motion Ranggawangsa immediately prepare troops to fight against the Daha army if Prabu Samarawijaya pounded Muria. Armed with property set aside from tax evasion and tributes of regional dukes, Ranggawangsa was really ready to revolt.
Prabu Samarawijaya was furious to hear reports from Mapatih Jayakerti about the actions of Ranggawangsa.
"Not merciful to the rebels, even though he is the ruler of Panjalu"
