"I represent the palace family, thanking the elders and other palace officials. For joining us today, to discuss the matter that will befall this kingdom." The prabu started the meeting.

"We also thanked nanda prabu. Because we still want to listen to the opinions of those of us who are getting old." One of the palace, Sepuh Nismara was honored to be present at the meeting.

"The shaykh of the teacher also thanked him for inviting the sheikh of the teacher to discuss the matter of this war." So is Shaykh Asmawan Mulia.

"Sama-sama shaykh guru." Reply to Prabu. "We are young. It's too early to make a decision." Further again. "We want to hear the inputs, as well as the opinions of the more experienced of us in the strategy of war." The prabu looked at them all with hope.

"Thank you again nanda prabu. For giving all of us confidence, to help prepare for war." They were happy, as they could still muster their ideas to help this kingdom. They began to discuss how the war strategy, they had broken it down carefully and fully prepared. The courtiers shared their experience of war, and also listened to the young.

Meanwhile, on the side of Prabu Ravana Bimantara has also made preparations. They also trained the soldiers to be even stronger.

"Look raka. They trained even harder, so that they would truly rule the battlefield." Princess Ambarsari watched the soldiers who were training in the palace courtyard.

"They should be well-tempered. In this half full moon they must be strong, in order for them to easily defeat the peace-loving royal warriors" Raden Gentala Giandra strongly agreed with what his sister said.

"We also have to prepare well. So that prabu grandfather is proud of the results later raka." Princess Ambarsari looks very ambitious in taking the heart of Prabu Ravana Bimantara.

"In addition we also think of something." Raden Gentala Giandra smiled strangely.

"What does raka mean?." Princess Ambarsari did not understand at all.

"He. The masked man." The answer.

"Raka's right. I'm sure he'll definitely interfere in the war later." Princess Ambarsari will never forget that figure, who managed to thwart their plans at that time.

"We have to tell grandfather prabu, to be wary of that person. Because he's gonna be our biggest threat ever." Raden Gentala Giandra thought of a way to deal with the man.

"It must be raka. So that prabu grandfather be vigilant when attacking the palace later." princess Ambarsari also remembered how the person solved the problem faced by Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana.

"It's not just Rayi. There's still two people we have to teach." Raden Gentala Giandra looks furious considering the incident. "Hadyan hastanta, and also andhini andita." The heartache had been burning in his heart at this moment.

"I'll beat them both up if I meet them later. I don't care about them anymore. I really hate traitors like them." How furious he was with the treatment of Princess Andhini Andita at that time.

But certainly, in addition to destroying the palace, their goal is to kill those who faithfully follow the Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana. Is there no more peace in their hearts?. Are they capable of doing it?. Findtheanswer.

Back to the palace Like Peace.

"We fight not for the ambition of killing an opponent. But to defend the truth." Shaykh Asmawan Mulia is believed to lead the troops who will guard in the small river near the palace barrier.

"We're doing this training not just the goal of war. But to train physically and mentally all of us. Are we ready to take up arms, to kill each other?." Shaykh Asmawan Mulia noticed the soldier who was ready to stand by.

"In the war of the Prophet Muhammad. He proclaimed takbir, to encourage his brothers. May in the war we do as much as possible, to encourage our brothers and sisters." Shaykh Asmawan Noble explained to them all about the ancient war, and they will do the same?. It could have happened.

"Allahuacbar!." His voice sounded loudly cheering the soldier.

"Allahuacbar!." Welcome some soldiers who have embraced Islam.

"In addition we do not need to force the exercise. But that doesn't mean we're lazy." Shaykh Asmawan Mulia again gave an explanation to them.

"Because our bodies must also be in good health in war. We must not be tired before war. Why?." Shaykh Asmawan Noble threw a question at all of them. But they were silent, looking at each other, not knowing the answer at all.

"because, if we're exhausted before the war. The enemy will defeat us easily. That's why we have to maintain our physical health before we go to war." Shaykh Asmawan Mulia explained to them all.

"In addition, we must also have a strong heart. I remember God in the war. May Allah SWT provide salvation for us when war happens. Stay alert during the war." Shaykh Asmawan Mulia really gave direction to all of them.

On the other side of the palace.

Jaya Satria and Raden Hadyan Hastanta are training Princess Andhini Andita, to master several techniques in order to survive the war. Patiently the two taught some easy moves.

"The essence of the silat movement that we use only for defense. Besides our hearts are controlling it." Jaya Satria gave little direction to Princess Andhini Andita. "That move is dangerous or not, we govern from the pure air that is within each of us." Further again.

"Regulate the pure air that is in our bodies. Dangerous or not, we set it up." Deuteronomy while doing the movement of hitting in the room without air. The punch was quite powerful, causing wind pressure around it.

"remarkable. Only a few times saw it, and only listened to the instructions of the jaya Satria. Rayi andhini andita mastered it quickly." Raden Hadyan Hastanta did not expect his sister as soon as it mastered that style?. It's amazing for a beginner.

"Daughter wrestling is actually a smart man. But sorry, just lazy to practice." Jaya Satria smiled slightly.

Princess Andhini Andita arranged her pure air, she climbed them with a sullen face.

"Don't be quick to sulk rayi. You look funny with a face like that." Raden Hadyan Hastanta could no longer hold back his laughter.

"It's really raden. Especially that angry nature. Servant is worried about her opponent, who is affected by her anger later." jaya satria instead followed laughing.

"You guys are a bitch. I'll tell Rayi Prabu, that you two have been playing me." Andhini's daughter Andita grew sulky, irritated at being laughed at by them.

"Yaaah complained to Rayi prabu." Raden Hadyan Hastanta mocked his brother.

Princess Andhini Andita who was pouting, but instead laughed at by Raden Hadyan Hastanta and Jaya Satria. But at that moment they looked familiar, as if nothing had happened between them before.

"I feel like I'm talking to rayi prabu. When we were kids, before we were incited by our mother's words." Raden Hastanta felt like that. Somehow talking and joking like this with Jaya Satria, he seemed to feel the presence of his sister Cakara Casugraha

They used to get along at the age of ten. But when they were teenagers, they were even hostile to each other, because of the words of their mother who could never be together.

"I'm sorry for all this time, who foolishly didn't realize the truth rayi prabu." Under these circumstances, Raden Hadyan Hastanta felt guilty towards his sister. He really wants to be close to his sister, but under these circumstances it feels impossible. But can he do it after this?. In his heart he hoped it would happen after this.

"It felt like he was talking to Rayi prabu, under normal circumstances before he became king." Andhini's daughter Andita also felt it. He did not know his feelings were getting comfortable talking to Jaya Satria.

"Who is jaya satria?. Why does he have the same aura as rayi prabu?." In his heart he wondered. Who is behind this masked figure?. Raden Hadyan Hastanta and Princess Andhini Andita felt a longing to gather and talk with her sister.

...****...

Tonight feels lonely. Andhini's daughter Andita is still awake, as she cannot sleep. That was the reason why he went to the Palace garden even though it was late at night.

"What does a king's daughter do nights like this?." Jaya Satria was sitting in an ordinary place. But this time Andhini's daughter Andita can see that smile.

"Oh, you're apparently a jaya satria." He smiled a little. He was used to seeing Jaya Satria now. He approached Jaya Satria and sat down beside her.

"Should I thank you. Because you've awakened me from stupidity, which I've been doing to Rayi prabu all this time?." He looked up at the night sky that was sometimes flickering by the stars,

Jaya Satria smiled at him. "Hamba is only the king's subordinate. Gusti Prabu just doesn't want a split between all of us. So it's my duty to do it." The voice sounded sincere, and touching.

"So you mean, you're doing all this because of Rayi prabu's orders?." He wanted to know if it was true or not.

"Daughter's wrestling don't misunderstand me first." Those eyes glanced towards Andhini's daughter Andita. He did not want Princess Andhini Andita to think about the prabu.

"Ms." He nodded his head. His eyes stared shadyly at the sky, his smile expanding on his face. "At least, through you Rayi Prabu does want us to unite without any hostility." The look in his eyes was very sincere, as well as his smile. "I understand now." he propped up his chin by leaning against his knee.

"If rayi prabu did it right away. It'll be even more hateful for her." The smile changed with sadness. "I still remember when you turned your face into the face of Rayi Prabu back then. Instantly the hatred in my heart just came out." He still remembers the incident.

"Maybe Rayi prabu avoids such a thing. By telling you to replace him. In our view, he pretended not to care about us. But through you, he entrusted us to you." He looked into Satria's eyes. "really. I feel like I've sinned so much against him." He tried to breathe. Jaya Satria was happy to hear it, she also smiled at the sincerity.

"i thank you too. Because it has awakened me. I realized how stupid I was. I was the one who made him the grumpy guy. Made him a bad person in his past." The regret that comes to pierce the heart.

"Allah SWT is forgiving. Forgive people. I'm sure that Gusti Prabu will forgive the princess's wrestling." Jaya Satria. "Everybody has made a mistake. Whether it was intentional, or unintentional." he continued.

"But the mistake I made was very deliberate. Deliberately looking for errors rayi prabu, so that he is always wrong in the eyes of prabu father. Until he became a bad person. But who would have thought, when he converted to Islam he became better. Even better than me." Andhini's daughter Andita remembers everything she did to her sister.

"Have wrestling princess. There is no point in regretting the past. There is something more important now, which is to correct the mistakes of the past, in order to move towards a better future."

"You're right. I'll try to do my best for Rayi prabu. I'll fix all the mistakes I've done to her." That's his promise.

That night they spend chatting with each other revealing the mistakes of the past, which makes them realize, that every human being will certainly never experience change. In a better direction, or in a worse direction.

But in their hearts they still hope this war does not happen. Wh why?. Because there are innocent victims falling. Who're they?. It is said that the people who are not far from the location of the war. Not only that, fear haunts the minds of those who fear death as a victim of war. Nothing good from a war is going to happen. Can they avoid war? Findtheanswer.

"Right grandpa prabu. We need to be careful of him." Raden Gentala Giandra told his grandfather.

They are still awake because they are discussing who is likely to be involved in the war.

"But grandpa Prabu just calm down. Me and raka gentala giandra will overcome that person with the style we have." Princess Ambarsari seems to have a certain purpose.

"Then I leave him to you." The Prabu feel helped by what they do, so he can still focus on fighting Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana later.

But when they were discussing the matter of war preparations, suddenly Prabu Ravana Bimantara felt pain in his left abdomen. It was as if something was piercing there. The gourd whimpered in pain, thus making them all shocked.

"Grandpa prabu!." They were very panicked because Prabu Ravana Bimantara fainted, unconscious?.
