THE PRABU'S SECRET
BANQUET

...***...

The atmosphere of the Suka Damai royal Palace today was serene, although there were some reports coming in. But the prabu can still handle it.

"What do you think of yunda andhini andita?. Has he had a little change?." The prabu who is in his private room with Jaya Satria.

"Hamba has already given him some explanation. May God open the door of his heart to do better." He saw a change, albeit slowly.

"Then what about the others?. I don't think it's possible that we continue to hate each other under any circumstances." He hoped his brothers would get along.

"It's not just a matter of the palace that I have to deal with. What does it mean to be king if they hate me." prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana wants to unite them in one step.

"Hamba understands what gusti prabu wants. But I find it a little difficult." Convincing kindness to someone is not easy.

"But we should keep trying. We surrender to Allah SWT." He always prayed that his extended family could unite well without any disputes between them.

"Hamba will start from princess andhini andita first. Because according to his most intelligent servant, it is easy to understand anything. So I'm sure he quickly understood what I told him." I don't know why he was so sure of that.

"Yes, I agree, do it well. I sincerely hope for you, as well as Allah SWT who is the owner of the human heart. God who can turn a man's heart." He was relieved to hear it.

"Hopefully we'll succeed in gusti prabu." Jaya Satria also hopes that it will work.

"Then what about the area far from the palace?. Are they still safe?." discussion this time about the security of the kingdom Like Peace.

"Alhamdulillah hirobbil 'alamin. Everything's secure. The servant even told the soldiers to stand guard there. Also some young man who has Kanuragan knowledge to keep his village safe." It turned out that he had acted quickly.

"Alhamdulillah hirobbil a'lamin. Thank you for doing so well." He was proud of what Jaya Satria did.

But after that Jaya Satria went from there, although some of the palace residents already know himself is the servant of the prabu. But still he must be vigilant.

"Sampurasun gusti prabu. I'm sorry I came to disturb Gusti prabu." After saying his greetings, he still stood some distance away from the door of the King's private room.

"Rampes." The prabu answered. "What is senopati mandaka sakuta." The prabu wants to find out the reason why his senopath came face to face.

"Please gusti prabu. There's important news I'm trying to tell you." He says the purpose.

"Say. Important news what is it." The prabu wants to know, and hear it.

"Please gusti, at the gate of the palace, prabu rahwana bimantara came with some wrestling guards." That is what he told his king.

Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana was a little surprised, he did not expect the arrival of one of the great Kings in this country.

"alright. I will be there soon to greet him. And you're senopati mandaka sakuta. Prepare dishes for the banquet." Asmalaraya Arya prabu order.

"The servant shall carry out the command of the Gusti prabu as well as possible." Senopati Mandaka Sakuta understood his duty. "Hamba pamit gusti prabu. Sampurasun." He left the room to do the king's command.

"Grandpa rahwana bimantara?. His arrival was very sudden. The spa he wanted?." Big question for the prabu.

"Beware gusti prabu. I am very worried about his sudden arrival." Jaya Satria is still in the room?.

"Yes, though I don't know what he's coming for. I feel so nervous." Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana.

"Do you need to escort the dusti prabu to the gate of the palace?." Jaya Satria was very anxious at Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana.

"Wouldn't. I just don't want to cause any misunderstandings, let alone the queen's mother ardiningrum bintari yet to see you. I'm afraid there will be slander." Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana does not want to cause problems if he is with Jaya Satria.

"But one request. Tell ayudiyah purwati's aunt to stay with my mother during the banquet. Do not let your mother out of her room." prabu Asmalaraya Arya also worried about her mother's condition. He was worried that his mother would also be affected.

"Sandika gusti prabu's. Then I'll tell aunt Ayudiyah purwati." He understood the worries felt by the prabu. "Hamba please gusti prabu be careful. Servants will always be near the wrestling box if something happens later." Further again. Because he was worried about the safety of Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana.

...***...

In front of the palace gate. Prabu Ravana Bimantara just got off his horse. He was with ten soldiers, and there were also some warriors accompanying him.

"Welcome to the peaceful kingdom of father prabu." Queen Ardiningrum Bintari welcomed her father's arrival with a happy smile.

"Grandpa prabu." His children also welcomed their grandfather's arrival with happy faces.

"You guys are big. I miss you all so much." He welcomed the embrace of his three grandchildren.

"We miss grandpa too." Reply to them all.

"I'm sorry we haven't seen Grandpa yet." Raden Ganendra Garjitha feels guilty for his grandfather.

"Right grandpa prabu. The plan is to see Grandpa Prabu. But my mother said later." Raden Gentala Giandra is good at finding excuses.

"Loh?. Why involve your mother?." Queen Ardiningrum Bintari objected, and they laughed instead?.

"Raka was just looking for the excuse of a prabu grandfather." Ambarsari's daughter defended her mother, making them laugh even more.

When the excitement was felt, Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana came to them.

"Mixedgaon. Grandpa prabu." With a friendly smile, he said that greeting. 

"Rampes." Reply Prabu Ravana Bimantara tried to be friendly.

"Welcome to the kingdom of peace. Sorry if ananda didn't make preparations to welcome grandfather prabu's arrival at this palace." That friendly smile, that soothing smile that still peaceful heart saw it.

"Thank you for nanda prabu welcoming me here." Prabu Ravana Bimantara saw the radiance of a king from the appearance of the young King.

"I feel like I'm looking at my late daughter-in-law prabu kawiswara arya ragnala inside her. So authoritative and full of warmth in welcoming anyone." In his heart he felt admiration for Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana.

"Please enter prabu grandfather." He allowed the rabbi Ravana Bimantara to enter the palace, and he walked side by side. Queen Ardiningrum Bintari walked behind her, accompanying them. So did the royal entourage.

"As my mother said at the time. Grandpa prabu really came to this palace." In the heart of Raden Ganendra Garjitha was happy, his mother's words were proven.

"It looks like this important event will be a good history, for the bimantara family to rule this great kingdom." In the heart of Queen Ardiningrum Bintari can no longer wait to bring the throne closer. Just imagine her heart is happy, especially if it does get it.

Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana sat on his throne, and he allowed the Prabu Ravana Bimantara to sit on the chair he had prepared on his right side.

"This palace has not changed at all. I can feel it, since the late prabu kawiswara arya ragnala who became king. When my son's wedding is here." He still remembers that. Even when he visited this palace several times.

"We're not going to change it, Grandpa Prabu. The atmosphere in this palace will also remain the same, when the late father of prabu kawiswara arya ragnala is still alive." prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana also felt it.

"Is that the father of the queen's mother ardiningrum bintari?." Andhini Andita's daughter's whisper to her brother

"I think so. He used to come here too. We were kids then." Reply Raden Hadyan Hastanta still remembers the face, although there are changes in terms of appearance.

It turned out that the two children of Queen Gendhis Cendrawati participated in the banquet, because it was told by Senopati Mandaka Sakuta earlier.

"Hopefully my grandfather was in this palace." prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana hoped that his grandfather was at home in this palace.

The dinner went well, without any interruptions. Prabu Ravana Bimantara was pleased with the atmosphere.

But who would have thought, Prabu Ravana Bimantara even invited Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana prabu complaining about the devotion of the warriors he brought from his kingdom

"I hope nanda prabu doesn't mind reprimanding each other, with them some moves with this court swordsman." That smile, that suspicious smile.

"Yes Allah. Strengthen the heart of the servant" the anxiety he feared occurred.

"Please forgive grandpa prabu. So far ananda has not received the warriors to defend this palace. So ananda can't accept an offer from prabu's grandfather." With a heavy heart he said that.

"Your trash. Got a trap from a smart old geezer." In the heart of Raden Ganendra Garjitha was happy to listen to the rejection of his sister.

But who would have thought, suddenly there was a sharp weapon pointing quickly towards the prabu, and who would have thought that the weapon in the form of a small dagger was broken in two. Because there are no rough eyes protect the prabu from the attack.

Those who saw that were shocked, including the palace elders?. Of course they were surprised because it could threaten the safety of the prabu.

"It seems, prabu grandfather doesn't like ananda's rejection." Although he smiled, his eyes could see whose hands had attacked him.

Prabu Ravana Bimantara was silent, he did not respond to the words. But the glance of the eye signifies a challenge for Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana.

"alright. If grandpa prabu is still curious." The prabu understands. "Mandaka sakuta synopathy. Prepare the match hall. We will do it." prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana had no choice but to follow the will of Prabu Ravana Bimantara.

"Thank you nanda prabu." A smile of satisfaction was clearly visible there.

"Yes Allah. I hope nothing happens to us all." The Lord hopes that God will protect them all.

As they prepare, Princess Andhini Andita and Raden Hadyan Hastanta approach the Bimantara family.

"Where is your mother?. I didn't see it." Although not too close, he knew a little about the children of his late daughter-in-law anyone.

"Mother is currently wiping grandfather's grave. So the mother is not in the palace at the moment." Reply Raden Hadyan Hastanta politely.

"So that?." Prabu Ravana Bimantara understood the reason he did not see the queen of Gendhis Cendrawati here. They talk a little to make them look more familiar.

After that they gathered outside the palace, because of the battle of the royal swordsman Suka Damai with the kingdom of Mekar jaya.

"Greetings to all the guests and the audience is happy. Right now we are going to witness a friendly battle between two great empires. We hope that no resentment or hatred is born after this fight. We as hosts only wish peace to all of us." Senopati Mandaka Sakuta led the running of the event at the request of his king.

They were all watching closely, they wanted to enjoy this rare match.

"Rules of this match. The first one must not kill his opponent. Second, do not cheat during the game. Third, the opponent can attack with his weapon to defend. Fourth, if the opponent gives up, then he is the winner. And then will be told by Gusti prabu asmalaraya arya ardhana for the victor."

Senopati Mandaka Sakuta let the prabu add his words.

"For the victor, I will raise a special soldier to protect this palace. In addition, he will stay in the army homestead, become the army leader in the service to the areas I specify." Such is the promise of the Prabu to the winner.

They were all testified, and they were happy with the gift. They can't wait to fight soon.

"Then start fighting" the prabu let them start.

From the kingdom of Suka Damai there are several warriors who were trained by Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana prabu secretly through Jaya Satria. No one knows their strength. The warriors who embraced Islam with the prabu.

"My name is sebara. I'm from the mountain." He introduced himself as such, the origin of which.

"My name is Rakesh the Depopulation of the Hill of the Depopulation." He also introduced himself.

"start." Senopati Mandaka Sakuta allowed them to start the match.

At first the match was safe, peaceful, and a henchman. Some of their moves are played to bring down their opponents. They are just as strong, so it is difficult to determine who is the winner.

"It looks like it will run with yunda" Andhini's daughter Andita saw the great movements of the two warriors.

"Yes, you're right rayi. But I hope that the winner is the swordsman of prabu's grandfather." Princess Ambarsari really hopes for that.

"Either why. I feel a bad feeling from this match." He feels restless. Like something's gonna happen. His eyes looked towards his prabu sister Asmalaraya Arya who was sitting on a special chair.

"Why am I so worried about him?. When all this time I hated him so much. Is this due to the influence of the word jaya satria?." In his heart he thought that way. There's no way that anxiety comes on suddenly, right?.

The cheer of the audience from other soldiers added to the atmosphere of the match, they encouraged those who competed without dropping the mentality of the two.

Meanwhile, from a distance Jaya Satria noticed the fight. He also noticed the prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana, there may be something unexpected that will happen later.

"I must remain vigilant, for his safety is also my salvation." In his heart was determined not to be careless at all. For the safety of Asmalaraya Arya, he must remain vigilant. He had told Ayudiyah Purwati to remain with the queen Dewi Anindyaswari at the request of her king.

Can the fight go smoothly without the spice of cheating from both sides?. Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana just hope everything goes well without giving birth to hostility.
