Convulsions

Not finding an answer to the question posed by Tumenggung Ludaka, Demung Gumbreg immediately pursued the footsteps of his close friend who began to enter the territory of the private room of Duke Aghnibrata.

"Wait a minute, Lu..

Don't make me wonder what you just said", Demung Gumbreg immediately pulled the left hand of Tumenggung Ludaka. Got such an action, Tumenggung Ludaka immediately stopped his steps while turning towards his comrade who looked so curious.

"Indeed you do not know of any great danger that threatens Panjalu, Mbreg?", asked Tumenggung Ludaka as he stared at Gumbreg. Hearing the question, Demung Gumbreg simply shook his head in a sign that he did not know at all.

"The King of Jenggala is preparing everything to start another war with Panjalu. From the borders of the region, our eyes have reported repeatedly about the massive preparations made by the Samarotsaha Emperor.

This is why I say so to you, Mbreg. Panjalu is in great danger", added Tumenggung Ludaka who immediately made Demung Gumbreg surprised instead of playing.

"Are they still not kapok also after we have defeated before?", asked Demung Gumbreg later.

"It should have been them, but the change of leadership from the Maharaja of Mapanji Alanjung to the Emperor of Samarotsaha made the new king think he wanted to continue the ideals of the late Mapanji Garasakan to reunite Kahuripan.

While Gusti Prabu Jayengrana is still bound by a sacred promise for 50 years with Dewi Kilisuci not to annex Jenggala territory whatever happens. So even if we can defeat them, then it will only make them retreat from the borders of our territory without being able to occupy their territory", replied Tumenggung Ludaka while gazing towards the blue eastern sky.

"This is very unfair to us, Lu.. Why would Gusti Prabu Jayengrana accept such a one-sided agreement?", Demung Gumbreg asked.

"I don't know either, Mbreg..

But from what I heard from Uncle Mahamantri Jayakerti, this is so that all parties of the descendants of Prabu Airlangga get the right of fair land as long as Dewi Kilisuci as the rightful owner of the throne of the Kingdom of Kahuripan is still alive. What is clear at this time, we must prepare to face the onslaught of Jenggala forces if they attack into Jenggala territory", he said", the long explanation of Tumenggung Ludaka makes the army officer of the pond-bodied Panjalu mangosteen only.

"Here we go, let's put it aside first Lu..

The one in front of our eyes is what we think. Gusti Prabu Jayengrana's arrival to follow the wedding Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono. So there is no need to think heavy, tomorrow we eat big hehehehe", Demung Gumbreg chuckled a little while before the step Tumenggung Ludaka entered the private room of Duke Aghnibrata. Seeing the actions of his closest friends, Ludaka Tumenggung just smiled thinly while shaking his head.

Later that day, the extended family of Kalingga Duchy Palace held a meeting with the father of Panji Tejo Laksono, the Maharaja of Panjalu Prabu Jayengrana to prepare for the wedding tomorrow. With a faint smile, Prabu Jayengrana gave the entire process of marriage to the Kalingga Duchy Palace. This further made Duke Aghnibrata breathe a sigh of relief as there was no longer any need to worry about the fitting wedding arrangements for Panji Tejo Laksono and Ayu Ratna.

That night, that day, Prabu Jayengrana again appeared in the Duchy of Kalingga honorary guest hall by bringing Queen Anggarawati when all the prospective wives of Panji Tejo Laksono were deliberately called to meet with the prospective in-laws and the courtiers Kadiri was busy talking about their preparation tomorrow. This makes everyone even more surprised to see the martial skills and magic of the Maharaja of Panjalu.

The arrival of Queen Dewi Anggarawati was immediately greeted with joy by Panji Tejo Laksono. Prabu Jayengrana's eldest son immediately knelt before his mother.

"Worship Ananda, Biyung Ratu", said Panji Tejo Laksono while worshiping Queen Dewi Anggarawati.

"Ah my most handsome son...

Here mom hug son. Mother misses you altogether, Cah Bagus", without waiting for Panji Tejo Laksono to rise from his kneeling spot, Queen Anggarawati immediately hugged Panji Tejo Laksono's body in front of everyone.

Everyone immediately smiled seeing the closeness of the two of them.

"How are you, Cah Good? It looks like you are getting thinner" asked Dewi Anggarawati after releasing her hug on Panji Tejo Laksono and pay attention to the condition of the son's body. Hearing those words, Panji Tejo Laksono smiled wryly.

"This Queen always looked at me like a child. Your son is an adult, Biyung.. If it is found that the people of Biyung pay attention to me like this, want to put where your son's face is?", protest Panji Tejo Laksono whispered a little to Queen Anggarawati.

"I don't care about people. To me you are still my little son whom I have always loved, Tejo Laksono.. Do you remember, if you always couldn't sleep before you were wiped on your forehead by your mother?", Queen Anggarawati smiled knot.

"That was Biyung Queen.. Now your son is getting married, so please Biyung Queen don't tell me about my childhood anymore..

Well now, I introduce the future daughter-in-law of Biyung Ratu.

Ayu Ratna, Goddess of Wulandari.. Come ye. Gayatri and Luh Jingga as well", Panji Tejo Laksono turned his attention to the four beautiful women who had just watched the chat between himself and his mother. Queen Anggarawati also looked towards the four beautiful girls who walked towards her direction.

As soon as the four of them arrived, the four of them immediately saluted the Queen Dewi Anggarawati together.

Hearing their compactness, Queen Anggarawati smiled faintly as she said, "Wake up my daughter's daughter. Worship you guys I accept".

"Thank you Kanjeng Ratu Anggarawati", after saying that, Ayu Ratna, Song Zhao Meng, Gayatri and Luh Jingga immediately sat down in front of Queen Dewi Anggarawati. The eyes of Goddess Anggarawati were immediately fixed on the figure of Song Zhao Meng who did have a different physique among the four prospective wives of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Tejo Laksono, this girl..."

"He is Song Zhao Meng, Biyung Queen. Son of Emperor Huizong of Mainland China. He is a kinship bond that is given to us so that in the future China and Panjalu will prosper together", Panji Tejo Laksono explained about Song Zhao Meng.

Hearing that answer, Queen Anggarawati smiled meaningfully. Immediately he stroked Song Zhao Mengs hair which was jet-black and long. Beautiful female hair from China is indeed as soft as silk.

"Beautiful girl, are you able to speak our language?", Queen Anggarawati asked immediately.

"Meng Er has been learning Old Javanese since Sister Thee was in China, Mother Queen..

Meng Er also has a Javanese name from Brother Thee. Meng Er's Javanese name is Dewi Wulandari", Song Zhao Meng replied with a meaningful smile.

"Good then, that way you will all understand what I tell you.

Now, the four of you listen to me carefully. I have advice for all of you before officially becoming the daughter-in-law of Queen Anggarawati. Tejo Laksono, you also listen", listen to the words of Queen Anggarawati, Song Zhao Meng, Ayu Ratna, and listen to her, Luh Jingga and Gayatri and Panji Tejo Laksono immediately noticed the first wife of Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana. They sat cross-legged around where the First Queen of Panjalu was sitting.

"In a moment, you will become a complete family bond. If before you could all be quiet in solitude but from tomorrow it is no more.

Tejo Laksono, please,

You as a husband should be fair to all your wives. Treat them the same, regardless of where they come from. Your father, is a perfect example of this because he has 7 wives and all get the same treatment", Queen Anggarawati glanced towards Prabu Jayengrana who just smiled hearing the praise of his beloved wife.

"For you ladies..

You have to look after each other and protect each other. You must cooperate with each other in caring for my only son. Do not let him himself do anything, because Tejo Laksono always needs help from others. You must also get along well in sharing anything, there should be no excessive jealousy. Remember, you are sharing a husband so be wise in thinking and acting. Do you understand?", Dewi Anggarawati looked at the four beautiful girls who were now sitting in front of her.

"We understand, Gusti Ratu", replied Ayu Ratna, Song Zhao Meng, Luh Jingga and Gayatri together. Queen Anggarawati smiled faintly hearing her.

That night, Queen Anggarawati gave a lot of encouragement to the prospective wives of Panji Tejo Laksono. On that occasion, he also confirmed that Panji Tejo Laksono was the strongest candidate in the next Yuwaraja Panjalu election. So she requested that they all be able to support their husband in the future.

The next day, the atmosphere inside the Duchy of Kalingga Palace was already very busy even though the morning sun had just turned up in the eastern sky. Hundreds of soldiers were already standing guard at every corner of Kalingga palace. While the palace ladies are busy with their respective work affairs.

When the sun began to briefly rise up into the sky, in the pamujan sanggar which became a sanctification of the soul before the wedding, a man with a long beard appeared to be chanting worship of the god. He is Maharesi Wimana, the leader of Mount Ungaran Hermitage which was specially brought from the Duchy of Yellow Flower to marry Panji Tejo Laksono with his four future wives.

Meanwhile behind him, Panji Tejo Laksono and his four future wives appear to have been wearing white bridal clothes with gold jewelry sumping. Ayu Ratna and Song Zhao Meng who became a patmi or empress sat on the right side of the Panji Tejo Laksono while Gayatri and Luh Jingga who became ampean garwa or concubine sat on the left side the young prince of Kadiri.

While the family members who attended, sat behind them neatly including Prabu Jayengrana, Ratu Anggarawati, Duke of Aghnibrata and courtiers Kadiri and Kalingga. They all seemed so solemn in following the marriage process.

The thick smoke of incense and incense and fragrant handlebars make the wedding of Panji Tejo Laksono and his four future wives feel so sacred.

Maharesi Wimana stood up from her seat after she finished chanting the mantra of praise to Lord Vishnu. The long-bearded man with slow footsteps but surely approached the Panji Tejo Laksono and his four future wives who took a worship attitude on Hyang Agung. A cantrik immediately took a golden bokor containing holy water as a sign of the marriage process began and handed it to the Maharesi Wimana. And the marriage process between Panji Tejo Laksono and his four future wives began.

From behind, Queen Anggarawati seemed to wipe the tears that pooled in her beautiful eyes. Seeing that, Prabu Jayengrana smiled wryly.

"I don't feel like Kangmas Prabu..

It felt like just yesterday Tejo Laksono was crying in my arms. And now we're watching him get married. Time seems to pass so quickly" said Ratu Anggarawati slowly. Prabu Jayengrana smiled faintly as she said,

"This is the journey of life, Dinda Anggarawati".
