The Fighter
Chapter 156 The Change of Leader
In the afternoon all gathered at the pendopo welcomed the arrival of Wisanggeni with Gayatri and Niluh. Lindhuaji immediately ordered the slaughter of cows, to be used as a side dish for dinner together. Niluh and Gayatri looked very happy to see her parents, they did not think at all if they could still meet them. Though they think if his parents died at the time of the battle.
"How are you doing, son? You didn't think you could still see you." Niluh's father hugged and kissed his daughter who he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Niluh is always blessed with father's health.. Thank goodness Hyang Widhi has taken care of her father and mother." with full of the small family embrace.
"Only your brother Niluh.., until now has not been heard of his existence." tears flowed on the face of Niluh's mother.
"We pray for you, may the kakangmas always be in the protection of Hyang Widhi" said Niluh lirih.
In another corner, Lindhuaji immediately asked people to come forward. Beef and chicken dishes are waiting to be enjoyed soon.
"Brothers all of them.., immediately place a position on the front. There are some things that my father wants to tell us all" Lindhuaji said, standing and staring at all members of the Bhirawa Clan.
The people immediately shifted to meet the place that was ahead. Likewise with Niluh and her family. Gayatri was also resting her head on her father's shoulder. After the seat in front had been fulfilled, and everyone fell silent, Ki Mahesa immediately stood up.
"My brothers are all family members of the Bhirawa Clan. Praise to Himang Widhi. Where we can still feel healthy and happy, so we can gather together tonight." Ki Mahesa begins her sentence.
"There's something I want to tell you all, and I hope you can accept it with pleasure. Our common intention is to always be united in gratitude and well-being. I feel and am well aware that I am too old to escort you to develop this padhepokan. Padhepokan who had experienced falling and waking up, could finally grow this big." all eyes looked at Ki Mahesa, even Lindhuaji and Wisanggeni did not understand what his father would say. The old man took a breath and exhaled slowly.
"I will rest this body and this feeling, it is time for me to devote myself to the Hyang Widhi Power. I'll start the meditation process.., and I'll assign the position of Clan Chief to my two sons Lindhuaji and Wisanggeni." The last sentence that Ki Mahesa uttered, shocked his two sons. Without any talk in advance, suddenly the old man gave up his position. But hearing his father's good intentions, as a devoted son, they could only support.
"That's all I can tell you all my brothers. Stay in harmony, guyup, and take all the burdens together. Thank you." Thank you." Ki Mahesa ended her words. The atmosphere in the pendopo became silent and silent. No one made a sound, all immersed in their thoughts.
"Thank you father for believing in us sons of father. We support your good intentions to spend time meditating, getting closer to Hyang Widhi. To Kang Aji.., I as the youngest son of my father and mother also handed over the Bhirawa Clan to Kang Aji to manage well." The wissanggeni immediately broke the silence.
"What do you mean Rayi..?? Are you going to get away from this responsibility?" with a tone of dislike, Lindhuaji cut Wisanggeni's words.
Ki Mahesa's youngest son smiled, then held onto Lindhuaji's shoulders.
For a while Lindhuaji was silent, but after thinking about the words of his father and Wisanggeni, finally the second son Ki Mahesa's man could receive the great trust.
"All right, I have received the trust from my father and Rayi Wisanggeni. We will develop the Bhirawa Clan together, and we will show that this Clan will be a clan worthy of reckoning." Lindhuaji was willing to lead the Bhirawa Clan.

In the morning Ki Mahesa officially handed over his position as Clan Leader to Lindhuaji. Love enveloped the atmosphere in the city of Laksa, because as a Klan that is quite calculated and already has a name in the city, the change of leader immediately spread and informed throughout the city. Even personally, Prince Abhisheka sent people to congratulate him. In particular, the Prince also invited Wisanggeni to stop by the royal city.
"Akang .., how are our next steps?" Rengganis asked Wisanggeni slowly. Wisanggeni smiled and turned to face Rengganis.
"Nimas.., later we will stop by first in the royal city. We will fulfill the invitation of Prince Abhiseka. After that, Akang will immediately return to the hills of Mount Jambu. Did Nimas volunteer to follow Akang there?" Wisanggeni again asked his wife. Upon seeing Rengganis, Wisanggeni turned his gaze to the Maharani.
"How about you Nimas Maharani, will you also volunteer to follow Akang?" said Wisanggeni gently to the Maharani. Wisanggeni's hand grabbed the woman's shoulder, asking her to get closer to him. Until now, the Maharani is still keeping himself close to him.
"Maharani will follow Akang everywhere, if Akang allows." said Maharani slowly, his cheeks splattered with pink.
"Nimas Rengganis will also follow Akang everywhere." Rengganis not left behind, the woman also undertakes to follow her husband everywhere.
Wisanggeni hugged his two wives together, leaning each other's heads on the sides of his shoulders. Although honest in the heart of the man is still one-sided his affection for the Rengganis, but he always tried to behave fairly to the Maharani.
"All right, we're gonna spend the night in this clan. Tomorrow morning we leave for the city of Laksa to meet Prince Abhiseka. Only after a while in the kingdom, we will soon return to the hills of Mount Jambu" said Wisanggeni slowly.
They finally returned to the cottage griya to rest. Maharani was like self-knowing, aware of her position, the woman pretended to meet Gayatri and Niluh. The woman will always give time to Rengganis and Wisanggeni to spend time together. In between the leisure time Wisanggeni, the new woman will be treated as a wife by the man.
Wisanggeni just smiled to see his second wife, he promised to immediately pick up the Maharani if he had given his obligations to Rengganis.
