The Ancestral Country
Tasks of Ayahanda
After everything was ready, Panji Watugunung and his four vassal girls immediately left the inn that had been paid by the Karsa. Don't forget to thank the middle-aged man.
After riding all day, before dusk they arrived at the town of Gelang-gelang Regency.
The City of Bracelets now looked even more crowded. Then people and horse carriages carrying goods and passengers filled the entire corner of the city.
Arriving at the palace gate, the guard recognized the Regent's son and saluted. One of the gatekeepers immediately ran over to inform the Regent. The Panji Watugunung troupe patted their horses slowly, and tethered their horses on the west side of the palace square Bracelets.
Panji Gunungsari welcomes his eldest son with joy.
"Welcome to Ngger Cah Bagus, Romo is very happy that you have returned here".
"Hail my service Kanjeng Romo, sorry I am a few days late", Panji Watugunung salutes his father.
"Hail respect Gusti Regent", said the three girls would-be wives of Panji Watugunung immediately in honor of Panji Gunungsari.
"Yes yes, I am happy to see my future daughter-in-law get along well" said Panji Gunungsari who welcomed the happy smiles of the three girls.
"Who's behind it who's Ngger Cah Bagus?", Panji Gunungsari pointed towards Dewi Srimpi who was sitting behind and lowered his head.
Not yet had the Panji Watugunung reply, Dewi Srimpi immediately said, "Servant servant of Mr. Watugunung Gusti Regent, apologize if I am sassy".
Hmmmm
Panji Gunungsari glanced towards his son while having a beard.
Dewi Pancawati thronged towards the Great Puri Hall Bracelets to hear his stepson back.
"Ngger Cah Bagus my son, you have returned Ngger.", Dewi Pancawati immediately embraced Panji Watugunung's body.
"Iya Kanjeng Ibu, Watugunung returned after Kanjeng Romo sent a letter to Padepokan Padas Putih", Watugunung immediately saluted Dewi Pancawati, followed by all his future wives and servants.
Dewi Pancawati stroked Panji Watugunung's head and sat down next to her husband.
"Kanjeng Romo, I brought the letter of Dewi Orchid Bulan from Bukit Lanjar", Watugunung presents a letter wrapped in white cloth.
Dewi Pancawati and Panji Watugunung were silent for a moment, then immediately took the letter from the hand of Panji Watugunung and read it.
*
"Panji Gunungsari,
My granddaughter Watugunung was big, too,
It's time to get married.
What else are you waiting for?
Make preparations immediately, though,
I'm waiting for good news from you."
The Moon Orchid Goddess.
*
Panji Watugunung immediately let out a long sigh.
"I thought the old woman would be like this".
"What's Kangmas? Kog like something's stuck in your mind?", Dewi Pancawati saw the change in the look of her husband's face.
"Your aunt, asking for Panji Watugunung to be married immediately", Panji Gunungsari smiled thinly while looking at Panji Watugunung and his three future wives.
The three prospective wives of Panji Watugunung smiled happily when they heard the voice of his prospective in-laws.
"Wait for Father, who does her aunt Kanjeng mean Mother? Wasn't that a letter from the Moon Orchid Goddess?", Panji Watugunung was confused.
Panji Gunungsari immediately understood the confusion of Panji Watugunung.
"Yayi Pancawati, now you explain everything".
"Ngger Cah Bagus, the Moon Orchid Goddess is my mother's cousin and your mother's aunt son, Dewi Sekar Pembayun. So it can be said that she is your grandmother", replied Dewi Pancawati explained.
Panji Watugunung bengong instantaneously, and his three future wives were also surprised instead of playing.
"So the Moon Orchid Goddess that is Watugunung's great-grandmother?", Sekar Mayang seemed to be in disbelief.
"Iya Ngger Cah Ayu", replied Dewi Pancawati reassured.
"But kog is still our age?", asked Dewi Anggarawati no less surprised.
Dewi Pancawati smiled faintly, she had already guessed that the question would come up.
"The Moon Orchid Goddess was the sister of Dewi Lanjar. When they were young, they had different personalities. Dewi Lanjar, chose to be the wife of Tumenggung Sindupraja, and have my daughter and mbakyu Sekar Pembayun while Dewi Orchid Bulan chose to learn the science of canuragan.
I don't know what kind of science my aunt learned so she could stay young like that".
Watugunung, Sekar Mayang, Ratna Pitaloka and Dewi Anggarawati only gawk at the words of Dewi Pancawati.
"Yes because my son is here, now you immediately clean up and rest, because tomorrow there is an important thing for us to talk about Ngger Cah Bagus" said the Regent of Bracelets.
After saying so Panji Gunungsari immediately pulled his son to the prince of Bracelets followed by Dewi Srimpi while Dewi Pancawati herded his prospective daughter-in-law to the princess.
Arriving at the prince, immediately Panji Watugunung cleans himself and changes his decent clothes nobility.
Dewi Srimpi was really stunned by the change in appearance of Panji Watugunung.
"Dreams... "
The black-faced girl was still dumb.
Panji Watugunung to stand in front of her and shake her hand, but the girl still gawked like a trance.
'He is very brave. And handsome', the inner Goddess Srimpi.
Finally, upset by the attitude of Dewi Srimpi, Panji Watugunung patted the girl's cheek. Made the girl awaken from her amazement.
"Oh yeah, what's up, sir?"
"You are dumbass from earlier, like seeing a ghost only", Panji Watugunung corrects his slightly tilted ear chopping.
"Yes it's okay. Please get me some ginger wedang. Kanjeng Romo will be here soon".
"Good sir", Dewi Srimpi immediately rushed to the kitchen of Puri Agung Bracelets accompanied by a lady-in-waiting.
Not long after, the Regent of Bracelets came to the prince. The middle-aged man immediately sat on a chair that was on the porch of the sons of Bracelets accompanied by Panji Watugunung.
"You are really handsome like your eyes Ngger, very dashing even beat me hehehehe", praise Panji Gunungsari after observing the Watugunung Panji sticky.
"It's fair that the 3 women are willing to have you honey hahahaha".
Panji Watugunung blushed to hear his father's speech.
"Ngger Cah Good, there is actually a task that I will give you. I hope you are willing to run it" the Regent Bracelet said with a sigh.
"This task is actually from the Emperor of Samarawijaya, and I entrust this task to you. Think of it as a test for you as the next Regent candidate for the Bracelets".
"What task is Kanjeng Romo", Panji Watugunung curious.
"You will lead special forces in charge of security at the Panjalu border. Starting from Seloageng to Watugaluh. Your job is to eradicate the robbers and vandals that are rampant right now".
Panji Gunungsari took a gold badge engraved bird Garuda sign as a special troop from Panjalu, and gave it to his son.
"Ananda is ready to carry out the task of Kanjeng Romo".
The Watugunung banner received the badge and stuffed it into his shirt pocket.
"Remember Cah Bagus, this task is not easy. Every time you have to bet on life. Be careful" Panji Gunungsari said with a sigh.
Then Panji Gunungsari explained that from every region, such as Seloageng and Bracelets will deposit 10 pithan warriors. For the Pakuwon area, fiefs such as Kunjang and Watugaluh must deposit 5 soldiers.
"You understand Ngger, after the Bracelets you have to go to Seloageng. Meet Kakang Tejo Sumirat. He proposed you to be a special forces officer.
Tomorrow at Paseban, I will appoint anyone who will be your helper" said Panji Gunungsari.
Dewi Srimpi who will enter the porch of the prince stopped his steps, as soon as he heard the words of the Regent Bracelets.
"Sorry Kanjeng Romo, if I may take the three girls and my servant. The rest I leave to the policy of Kanjeng Romo", cut the Watugunung Panji.
"It's up to you Ngger Cah Bagus, as long as you don't forget the task because of making out with your future wife hehehehe", Panji Gunungsari chuckled.
A red tinge was seen on Watugunung's face, because although he often shared a bed with his future wife, but never once did he have intercourse with them.
Dewi Srimpi was relieved to hear the answer from the Regent of Bracelets. Soon he came in and served ginger wedang and some small meals to his master and master's father.
The night is getting late. Panji Gunungsari has left the prince of Bracelets since earlier. Patugunung Panji is also preparing to rest. Without interference from his three future wives. Because at the Palace of Puri Agung, there is a manners that prohibits unmarried couples from living together under one roof.
Dewi Srimpi tidying up the blanket Panji Watugunung. The girl was really looking after Watugunung.
Early in the morning, when Watugunung woke up from his sleep. Her eyes circulated the view throughout the room and Dewi Srimpi fell asleep in a chair near her bed.
'Hemmmm this girl'
Panji Watugunung slowly without making a sound out of the room and immediately clean up. When she returned, Dewi Srimpi was standing next to the table. And a glass of ginger wedang is there.
After changing clothes, Panji Watugunung rushed to the Great Puri Balairung Bracelets. Everyone is here at Paseban.
Patugunung Panji immediately took a seat to the lower right of his father's throne.
"Tomorrow, my son will carry out the important task of Kotaraja Dahanapura. Each of Pakuwon had to send a hero to follow my son to carry out this task".
The atmosphere of the paseban arrived a little boisterous with prickly shoes.
"Although Gusti Regent, We are ready to help the task of Gusti Crown Prince. When can we send our Pakuwon representative?", a sepuh Akuwu named Samburikma from Pakuwon Janti broke the fanfare.
"Faster is better. If you can today have gathered, because tomorrow you have to go to Seloageng".
"We understand Gusti Regent, let us beg ourselves" said Akuwu Samburikma.
Panji Gunungsari nodded and raised his hand in assent.
The Akuwu Samburikma followed by other Akuwu worship and retreated from the pileban.
"Sancaka, send a letter to the surveillance post posts throughout the area of the Bracelets about this task. All soldiers at the checkpoint must be ready to help if this special force needs assistance" the regent said.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Regent", Tumenggung Sancaka.
Patugunung Panji smiled at all Regent Bracelets.
'My devotion task begins'
