The gatotkaca 2050
A Hunch

Nothing happened after the Eagle pressed the button on the bracelet that became the link between the past and the future, unwilling to despair, he tried it again. But still nothing happened.

“Sial!, why does not work?” the Eagle grumbled as he watched the screen visible on his bracelet that showed a battery with a single line inside. “Arrrgh... Why should lowbat anyway?” nagelnya again sambi punching the air so upset.

“Why, Uncle?” ask Gatotkaca. He didn't understand what he was saying just now.

“Energy-out. Can't leave. I can't go home.” The eagle looked down, slowly his body lowered until finally sitting on the field filled with grass.

Gatotkaca gave his bracelet back to the Eagle. “Kalo so, take a break first, Uncle. So that his energy recovers.” After giving his bracelet, the burly man walked back to the hut.

The words of Gatotkaca are like a beacon for the Eagle. As if getting inspired, he immediately opened the bag and looked for something in it.

“Thank you, prof. Best of all,” muttered Eagle slowly when getting something from his bag.

A book made by professor Tejo himself, written on his front cover, ‘Guidebook Timelabang’. Intentionally typed with an old typewriter in the era before Indonesian independence so that no one can steal the data. 

Before his departure to this time, the long-haired man like a metal band player who has the title of professor accidentally put something in the Eagle bag. He was worried that there was a problem with the time bracelet he created, because although he often used it to buy items in the past, but the tool has never been used to jump over very far.

Moreover, when he returns, the Eagle will bring humans. The same thing that the inventor never did.

His concerns were evident, the tool he made was out of power.

The eagle opens page after page of the book that Tejo indirectly gave, because his best friend did not write a bibliography in his book. Moreover, because it is written with a manual typewriter, writing by writing on each page looks almost the same.

After ten minutes he flipped through page after page, until also on how to charge when the time bracelet ran out of power. “Hah? Seriously though? Must be electrified? Electricity where? I was in this ancient time!” The eagle grumbled when he read the instructions that said the bracelet should be given an electric power supply. While scratching his head that was overgrown with short but disheveled hair, he thought hard.

Behind it again one page, an article about alternative energy made the Eagle become excited again.

If there is no electricity around, the charge can use solar power panels embedded in the tool. Simply put it in a place that is exposed to direct sun, then the battery power will be charged. But the filling takes a little time.

“Naaah, that's dong prof. The most genius man I have ever known!” He immediately stood up, then looked for a good place to give afternoon sunlight on his time bracelet.

“What are you doing, Ngger?” asked Gareng who was confused to see the Eagle put his bracelet near the edge of the terrace.

“Jemur bracelet, Teacher. So that the power is back again!”

Gareng just shook his head slowly watching the behavior of his student. Then he went into the hut following the others inside.

The eagle just woke up from his sleep when the morning sunlight in Karang Kedempel hit his face, what an atmosphere that he rarely got during his life. The room used for the place to stay during in Karang Kedempel only measures 2x1 meters and is made of woven bamboo and arranged into a room. 

In contrast to the spacious room in Jakarta, the four-square-meter room houses a closet containing her clothes, a study table that can be folded into the wall if not used. His own bed was on top of his wardrobe and personal belongings.

Large televisions connected to the Internet and virtual video game consoles in the Eagle's room are now replaced with windows that directly display the horizon with a vast ocean.

Looking at the bright shining sun, the Eagle immediately took out a time bracelet. Then he put it between the windows made of bamboo to get energy intake from sunlight.

“Newly wake up, Uncle?” greet Gatotkaca who just landed after flying.

“Iya, Tot. Taste, so the sleep is really good.” Stretching the muscles in his hands, he answered a question from Gatotkaca.

“I from this morning have three rounds around the earth, Uncle!”

“Anything out there?”

“A lot, Uncle. There are wars, there are more in love, there are even competing with each other to get love.”

The eagle sits on the porch steps, the drowsiness in him defeating the desire to exercise. Just now he wanted to lean on the foundation bamboo pole of the hut, a bright blue-colored light shimmered.

The glowing light then dimmed, changing with the figure of Arjuna emerging from there.

“Greetings, Uncle Arjuna!” Gatotkaca saluted Arjuna.

“Salam is also my nephew. How's training?”

“Walking smoothly, Uncle. What's the problem until uncle comes here?”

Arjuna. “Nothing, I want to meet with Eagle.”

Hearing his name, the Eagle got up from his seat, then approached Arjuna.

“Sit, Lang. There's something I want to ask you,” Arjuna said. He invited the Eagle to return to the terrace of the Semar hut.

“What's wrong?” search Eagle.

Arjuna sat cross-legged in front of the Eagle, an announcement hewn on the buffalo skin given to the Eagle. It was about an archery contest from the kingdom of Panchala. Whoever wins the contest has the right to marry Srikandi, daughter of the king Drupada, ruler of the kingdom of Panchala.

The eagle just nodded with a smile, he understood the intent of Arjuna's coming all the way to this place.

“How?”

“Ikut, it is definitely Kang Mas Arjuna the winner.”

“Serious?” Arjuna did not seem to believe what the Eagle said.

“Ikut!, don't waste a chance. Srikandi is your soul mate Kang Mas. As great as your opponent will be, fate says that Kang Mas is the winner.”

Arjuna smiled, he got a fresh breeze from the future youth who often accompanied him in carrying out tasks. The beauty of Srikandi itself is no secret, many knights from any country come just to ask for it. But always rejected because of their archery ability far below the princess from Panchala's work.
