The Ancestral Country
To Rara Sunti
Upon entering the territory of Pakuwon Watugaluh, Panji Watugunung and his three wives immediately drove their horses towards the town of Pakuwon Watugaluh.
By late afternoon, Panji Watugunung had arrived in front of the gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace.
Two soldiers guarding the gates of Pakuwon's palace stopped their newly dismounted steps from his horse.
"Stop!
Who are you and what do you want to come here?", said a soldier, looking at the four men's clothes.
"It's a good idea you're stopping our steps.
Tell Akuwu Setyaka that Yuwaraja Panjalu came to his place", Ratna Pitaloka stared intently at the two warriors who were looking at them with a contemptuous look.
Hahaha
The two soldiers laughed out loud at Ratna Pitaloka's words.
"Yuwaraja Panjalu's?
If he is Yuwaraja then I am the Emperor", said a guard soldier who had a thick mustache.
"Basic brash!
Need to be taught your lesson apparently", cried Ratna Pitaloka who immediately darted quickly and kicked the stomach of the soldier guard the gate of the Pakuwon palace hard.
Bukkkkkk
Oughh
The palace gate guard soldier immediately fell down. The spear and its shield were chirping along the side of the gate.
Seeing that, a friend of his directly thrust his spear towards Ratna Pitaloka.
But quickly, Ratna Pitaloka turned away and slapped a slap to the soldier's left cheek.
Plakkkk
The soldier immediately toppled with bruised cheeks and two tooth loss. From his mouth fresh blood flowed out.
The thick-moustached guard soldier immediately ran towards the inner palace of Pakuwon Watugaluh.
Akuwu Setyaka who was holding his little daughter, looked shocked when a soldier ran into the pisowanan ward of Pakuwon Watugaluh.
"Also Gusti Akuwu,
A man and three women messed up in front of the gate of Pakuwon palace", the soldier reported, with pain from a powerful kick from Ratna Pitaloka.
"Huhhhh
There are some that disturb the calm. Let's go there" said Akuwu Setyaka who immediately handed over his little daughter to his wife, Dewi Tunjung Biru.
The sturdy Akuwu then rushed to the gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace accompanied by 15 soldiers Pakuwon Watugaluh.
As soon as he got to the gate, Akuwu Watugaluh saw people dressed as ordinary wandering warriors.
More surprisingly, he recognized Ratna Pitaloka and Dewi Srimpi.
"Welcome to Pakuwon Watugaluh, Gusti Concubine", said Akuwu Setyaka while bowing respectfully. The soldiers of Pakuwon Watugaluh looked at each other as if they could not believe what was going on.
"How to welcome guest Pakuwon Watugaluh, Uncle Setyaka?", Panji Watugunung immediately took off his caping and smiled thinly.
Seeing the Watugunung Panji, Akuwu Watugaluh immediately prostrated to the Watugunung Panji.
"Please forgive Gusti Prince,
Servants do not know if Gusti Prince is visiting our place", said Akuwu Setyaka while prostrating.
The soldiers of Pakuwon Watugaluh immediately prostrated following the leader's footsteps.
Two of the palace gate guard soldiers wetted their pants. Seeing Akuwu Watugaluh worshiping alone, it was certain that the young man was truly a prince. And just now they had dared to insult the prince, it was certain that they would be severely punished.
Hmmmm
"Stand up Uncle Setyaka..
And all of you quickly stand up" said Panji Watugunung immediately.
Everyone immediately stood by the order of the Watugunung Panji except for two soldiers guarding the gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace who insulted the Watugunung Panji earlier.
"Why haven't you two stood up yet?", Panji Watugunung stared at the two soldiers guarding the palace gate.
"Please forgive a thousand mercies Gusti Prince,
We both made a big mistake. Please forgive Gusti Prince", said the soldier with a thick mustache while continuing to prostrate to Panji Watugunung.
"Do you know what your mistake is?", asked Panji Watugunung while looking at them.
"We have insulted Gusti Prince earlier" said the soldier who hit Ratna Pitaloka slap earlier.
"Not that, though,
You as soldiers should appreciate everyone without seeing from his outer appearance. Never distinguish between rich and poor. You are the protector of the people and the protector of the territory.
You should be an example for the community so that they can judge that a courtier Kayuwarajan Kadiri is not a figure who only sees people from his outer appearance.
Do you understand?", Panji Watugunung continued to observe the two soldiers.
"We understand what Gusti Prince means. We are told to do so, please forgive us Gusti Prince please forgive us", said the soldier in a thick mustache with fear.
"Now you stand. Hurry!", command the Watugunung Panji immediately.
The two soldiers immediately stood up and continued to lower their heads.
"Every mistake should be punished.
Uncle Setyaka, please,
When does their guard turn end?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately turned to Akuwu Watugaluh.
"Before the Gusti Prince" Akuwu Setyaka replied in his honor.
"I want them to stay on guard until tomorrow morning. If you get caught sleeping or someone gets out of this place, put them in jail.
In order for them to reflect on their mistakes, as well as an example for others to not carelessly themselves while on duty and look down on others" said Panji Watugunung immediately.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince", Akuwu Watugaluh nodded in understanding.
The two gatekeepers who were initially frightened would be put to death, finally breathing a sigh of relief. The punishment given by Panji Watugunung does sound cruel, but it is better than having to get the death penalty or fired from the palace of Pakuwon Watugaluh.
Panji Watugunung immediately rushed to the rest hall Pakuwon Watugaluh followed by Akuwu Setyaka and his three wives.
After taking Panji Watugunung and his three wives to the Pakuwon Watugaluh retreat hall, Akuwu Setyaka immediately rushed to the private palace of Akuwu.
Dewi Tunjung Biru immediately welcomed her husband's arrival.
"Who did the Kangmas thing?", asked Dewi Tunjung Biru immediately.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhh...
There were two foolish guard soldiers Nyimas.. They disturbed Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung and his three wives in front of the palace gate", Setyaka replied as he wiped away the cold sweat that soaked his forehead.
So the guest who came here was Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung?", Dewi Tunjung Biru was shocked not playing.
"True Nyimas, actually,
We must prepare the best dishes for them as a sign of our apology to Gusti Prince.
Hurry up and get the palace cook to cook the food", Pinta Akuwu Watugaluh told his wife. Dewi Tunjung Biru immediately nodded in understanding and rushed towards the kitchen of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace.
That night, Panji Watugunung and his three wives got a special dinner at the Pakuwon Watugaluh boga gym by the palace.
Goddess Tunjung Biru who had never seen Naganingrum before, was very curious about the youngest daughter Prabu Darmaraja.
"Gusti Concubine, please,
Who is the woman in green? I have never seen her with Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung", asked Dewi Tunjung Biru to Dewi Srimpi who happened to be near her.
"He's Denmas Panji Watugunung's wife. From Galuh Pakuan", answered Dewi Srimpi while sipping a drink served.
"Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..
Wasn't it after the two daughters and 3 concubines Gusti Prince Panji Watugunung did not want to marry again?", Dewi Tunjung Biru was shocked to hear the words of Dewi Srimpi.
"Denmas Panji is not intended to marry again, but circumstances that force her.
After all she was a daughter of a great king, as a reinforcement of political standing obviously she was very useful to Denmas Panji", replied Dewi Srimpi immediately.
Silent silent Goddess Tunjung Biru regretted for releasing Panji Watugunung from her target and married Setyaka.
That night, after a dinner at the Pakuwon Watugaluh bogasana, Panji Watugunung and his three wives immediately rested in their respective rooms except for Naganingrum who won a bet with Ratna Pitaloka.
Morning to Pakuwon Watugaluh. The unpretentious rooster tree woke up everyone in Pakuwon's palace. The eastern sky began to redden the sign that Surya was soon greeting the earth with the warmth of his rays.
The banner of Watugunung wriggled slowly from his sleep. Yuwaraja Panjalu saw Naganingrum's wife was asleep while hugging her body. Recalling last night, Panji Watugunung smiled faintly.
Slowly the Watugunung Panji moved Naganingrum's hand. As he was about to get out of bed, Naganingrum woke up.
"Kasep, Akang,
Want this morning blind kamana?", asked Naganingrum while covering his plain body without a thread covering.
"We need to get ready soon. I want to quickly go home to Katang-katang Dinda", replied Watugunung with a deep smile. The Regent's son the Bracelets immediately put on his clothes and rushed towards the direction of the bath .
After bathing and getting ready to leave, Akuwu Watugaluh was waiting for the Watugunung Panji in front of the door of the Panji Watugunung bedroom room.
"What is Uncle Setyaka?", asked Panji Watugunung who was astonished to see that Akuwu Watugaluh was there.
"Prince Gusti Please be ready to take breakfast at the boga gym. The dishes have been prepared" said Akuwu Setyaka while respecting.
"Walk first, I'm still waiting for my wife to dress up", Panji Watugunung immediately raised his right hand and Akuwu Watugaluh was saluted and rushed to the boga gym.
That morning after breakfast, Panji Watugunung and his three wives immediately drove their horses away from Pakuwon Watugaluh palace to his private residence in Katang-katang.
Along their journey, agricultural progress was seen in several places they passed. After being appointed as Yuwaraja, Patugunung Panji indeed ordered all the people in Kayuwarajan Kadiri to expand the rice fields in several wanua that allow to grow crops.
By midday, they reached the town of Kayuwarajan Kadiri. Several new buildings appear to stand majestically along the entrance to the Katang-katang palace. The merchants began to mill about in the streets of the city. The residents who happened to cross paths with the Watugunung Panji immediately bowed respectfully to the Prince of Daha.
In front of the palace gate, two guard soldiers immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji and opened the palace gate.
After getting off his horse, Panji Watugunung immediately walked into the private palace of Yuwaraja.
Dewi Anggarawati who saw the arrival of her husband, immediately welcomed her with joy.
"You have returned Kangmas" said Dewi Anggarawati, hugging her husband's body tightly.
"I miss you very much Dinda Anggarawati", replied Watugunung while kissing his wife's forehead. Dewi Anggarawati smiled happily at the words of Panji Watugunung.
Wandansari who was holding the baby Panji Tejo Laksono immediately brought the eldest son of Panji Watugunung to his father.
It seemed like Panji Tejo Laksono understood that Panji Watugunung was his father. The full 6-year-old boy immediately smiled when he was in the sling of the father.
Ayu Galuh, who was pregnant, walked slowly towards the Watugunung Panji.
"You don't miss me Kangmas?", Ayu Galuh pursed her lips.
Patugunung Panji immediately turned his head towards Ayu Galuh.
"Of course I also miss you Dinda Galuh", Panji Watugunung immediately embraced his two-bodied wife's body. Slowly he kissed Daha's daughter's forehead with affection.
Two other wives of Panji Watugunung, Sekar Mayang and Cempluk Rara Sunti immediately rushed to their husbands. The two beautiful women also got a friendly kiss from her husband.
"Supervisor,
Tonight let Kakang Watugunung be with me huh", said Sekar Mayang while smiling at Dewi Anggarawati who was carrying Panji Tejo Laksono.
"Ckckckl...
You came here directly ask first. Just yummy. Can't Mayang", Ratna Pitaloka swung the sewot towards Sekar Mayang.
"I've been fasting for a long time, so if I ask first it's natural Kangmbok", Sekar Mayang will not lose.
Dewi Anggarawati smiled faintly at the behavior of the two of them.
"Already, don't fight Kangmbok. I've decided for whom tonight when accompanying Kangmas Panji Watugunung", Dewi Anggarawati smiled meaningfully.
All of Watugunung's wives immediately turned to Dewi Anggarawati. The youngest daughter of the Duke of Seloageng smiled while pointing.
"Tonight is a ration for Rara Sunti"
