Haaaahhhhhhh??!!!!
Kaget Gayatri and Luh Jingga heard the answer of Dewi Anggarawati, the First Queen of Panjalu. The two beautiful girls could not say anything to respond to the words of Dewi Anggarawati. All the voices of the two of them seemed to disappear somewhere.
Seeing the shock of the two of them, Dewi Anggarawati immediately realized that all this time they did not realize that Panji Tejo Laksono was a young prince in Kotaraja Kadiri Palace. His empress Panji Watugunung was immediately staring at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono.
"Ngger My son Cah Good, my son,
Now explain to me why until these two beautiful girls do not know your identity?", asked Dewi Anggarawati immediately.
"I'm sorry Biyung ..
I was undergoing topo ngrame as my consecrated mark for my teacher, Begawan Ganapati. He asked me to go through topo ngrame for 40 days without allowing me to use my identity.
Later I realized that the purpose was for me to learn to be close to the people without frills of the king of Panjalu", replied Panji Tejo Laksono while respecting Dewi Anggarawati.
"What merit do you get from your topo ngrame is my son?", Dewi Anggarawati smiled meaningfully.
"I became more knowledgeable about the life of the people in the Kingdom of Panjalu, Biyung..
As the son of a King I am obliged to protect the people and understand what they feel under the rule of Prabu Jitendrakara.
During my topo ngrame, I used the name Taji Lelono as my pseudonym", Panji Tejo Laksono replied with a faint smile.
"Do you two still have doubts about my son's identity after hearing the explanation?", Dewi Anggarawati turned her attention to Gayatri and Luh Jingga who sat on the left side.
"Hamba already believes Gusti Queen. Sorry, we were really surprised to hear that Kakang Taji, uh I mean by Gusti's servant Prince Panji Tejo Laksono is a prince in Kotaraja Kadiri Palace, so it is difficult to think with open reason", gayatri said immediately.
"You don't have to behave like everyone else, Gayatri..
Your mother is my older sister, so you can call me Aunt Queen", Goddess Anggarawati smiled faintly.
"Thank you, Queen's Aunt.", Gayatri immediately performed her prayer.
That afternoon, Panji Tejo Laksono was placed by Dewi Anggarawati at the Keputran Katang-katang Palace. A small castle located in the west of the Katang-katang palace complex became his residence. There also live Mapanji Jayawarsa, Mapanji Jayagiri and Apanji Mandala Seta. While Gayatri and Luh Jingga occupy the guest hall of honor. Two palace maids were assigned to meet their needs.
In Keputran Kadiri, Regents Bracelets Panji Gunungsari and Adipati Seloageng met Panji Tejo Laksono after pisowanan ageng was carried out.
The two old rulers looked so happy to see their grandchildren look mature and dashing.
"It's true my favorite grandson. He is very handsome and handsome just like me when I was young hahahaha.", he said...", duke Tejo Sumirat said while laughing out loud as they had sat together in the middle room of the small Castle owned by Panji Tejo Laksono.
"Where did your confidence come from, Kangmas Tejo Sumirat?
He got a handsome face that is clearly a descendant of the Watugunung Panji which means it came from me", said the Regent of Panji Gunungsari with a smile knot.
"Of course from his pointed nose which belongs to Anggarawati, Dhimas Gunungsari hahahaha", Duke Tejo Sumirat still does not want to lose.
"Haven't fuss, both of you..
I am the grandson of both of you. Of course I look like Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jitendrakara and Biyung Ratu Anggarawati. So there is no need to fuss about that kind of thing anymore.
I know that your purpose here is not because you want to make a fuss over this matter, right?", guess Panji Tejo Laksono with a thin smile. He already felt that his two grandfathers must have their own purpose to meet him.
"Hahahaha you're really smart, Tejo Laksono. You can immediately guess what your eyes desire is.
Tejo Laksono, I am old. My dragons are not strong enough to continue ruling the Duchy of Seloageng. I want to step down from my position as pamong praja of the Duchy of Seloageng. Next I will stay at Ranja Hermitage in preparation to face Sang Hyang Tunggal", said Duke Tejo Sumirat while looking at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono.
"Eyang was the same, Ngger Granddaughter of Prince Panji Tejo Laksono..
This one is already sepuh, it is appropriate to lengser kehabon retreat from the world and prepare the afterlife. Eyang hopes that you will be a replacement for Eyang to rule the District Bracelets", said Regent of Gunungsari Panji Bracelets with a smile knot.
Mmmmmm..
"Thank you for the opportunity that both of you gave Tejo Laksono. But please give Tejo Laksono some time to think about this matter, both of you..
It's a matter of weight, should not be rash in deciding it.
After all, Tejo Laksono still wants to help Kanjeng Romo Prabu to overcome the danger that threatens from the territory of Kanjeng Eyang. Tejo Laksono wants to prove himself as the eldest son of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana, Tejo Laksono deserves to be called the knight of this Panjalu Country, Eyang.
Maybe after this problem is finished, Tejo Laksono can only provide certainty for both eyes", Panji Tejo Laksono in honor of Duke Tejo Sumirat and Regent Panji Gunungsari.
The two old grandfathers of the ruler of this area smiled widely at Panji Tejo Laksono's words.
Not yet had Duke Tejo Sumirat and Regent Panji Gunungsari give a response, from the direction of the door of the castle appeared Panji Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati.
"Your Majesty, the King of kings, the mighty King of Panjalu, the Maharaja of Prabu Jitendrakara Parakrama Bhakta and the Empress Anggarawati entered the Kadiri Princess" said a personal bodyguard of the king.
Hearing that, Panji Tejo Laksono, the Regent of Panji Gunungsari and Duke Tejo Sumirat immediately turned to the door. The three of them smiled knotly at the arrival of Panji Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati.
"My devotion is Kanjeng Romo Prabu, Kanjeng Ibu", said Panji Tejo Laksono while worshiping at Panji Watugunung.
"Worship you I accept, Ngger my son..
Sit down, I want to talk to you. Kanjeng Romo both please sit back" said Panji Watugunung soon. The five of them immediately sat cross-legged together on the porch floor of the Panji Tejo Laksono residence.
"Kau sudah menyelesaikan topo ngrame mu, Anak ku?", tanya Panji Watugunung segera membuka percakapan antara mereka.
"Kanjeng Romo Prabu..
Today is the forty-first day, it means I've finished my topo ngrame.
I traveled from Seloageng Duchy, Land Perdikan Lodaya, Karang Anom, Tanggulangin, Wengker, Kurawan to Anjuk Ladang, Kanjeng Romo", said Panji Tejo Laksono politely.
"What a good son, at least one third of the territory of the Kingdom of Panjalu you have explored.
With this experience, I can calmly order you to take part in the attack plan from the Blambangan Perdikan Land. Even though Commander-in-Chief Narapraja himself is leading the army, I would like you to draw knowledge from the experience of this war" said Panji Watugunung soon.
"Kangmas Prabu Jayengrana,
Tejo Laksono was too young to participate in a war like this. Please Kangmas Prabu reconsider to tell Tejo Laksono to leave for the battlefield", Dewi Anggarawati looks anxious to hear the words of Panji Watugunung.
Prabu Jayengrana smiled faintly at the first queen's words.
"The Queen's mind doesn't have to worry..
I told him also not without preparation and just ask. I will take down Ajian Tameng Waja who will protect his body from the attack of weapons and canuragan science.
Dinda Ratu has calmed down, right?", said Prabu Jayengrana while smiling knots. Hearing that, Dewi Anggarawati nodded in understanding and smiled widely.
"You are willing not my Son?", Prabu Jayengrana immediately turned towards Panji Tejo Laksono.
"I think I saw Gayatri the runaway and another girl with you, Tejo Laksono..
What is your relationship with them?", said Duke Tejo Sumirat as he looked towards Panji Tejo Laksono.
"Yes Ngger My son, actually my mother is also curious about the two of them.
Do you want to make them your wives, Cah Bagus?", said Dewi Anggarawati immediately.
Prabu Jayengrana and the Regent of Panji Gunungsari also stared at Panji Tejo Laksono. The handsome young man immediately scratched his head which suddenly felt itchy because he was confused about what to say.
"I don't know Eyang, Kanjeng Mom..
They forced themselves to come with me here. I had no choice but to follow their will. Do they have to marry me if they follow me?"
Hearing that answer, Prabu Jayengrana and Dewi Anggarawati looked at each other for a moment before chuckling.
"Hehehehe..
Basic father same son kog same thing if the affairs of feelings. Must wait for the women who used to act" said Dewi Anggarawati with a smile knot.
"Indeed Kanjeng Romo was like that too, Biyung?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.
"Well this father of yours can ever reveal his heart, son..
It used to be the mother who had to throw shame to express her mother's feelings on her. Your father is really stone-hearted, insensitive to people's feelings", scolded Dewi Anggarawati while glancing towards Panji Watugunung who was frowning while showing off his innocent face.
"But Dinda Ratu is still in love with me right?", teased Panji Watugunung with a knotty smile.
"Well forced.. If it wasn't your sweet word, I might have fallen in love with you Kangmas..
You are really annoying", continued Dewi Anggarawati who was greeted with laughter all of them. Panji Gunungsari and Adipati Tejo Sumirat giggled at the grumbling of Dewi Anggarawati, while Panji Tejo Laksono was overjoyed to feel the warmth of his family.
After a long time in Keputran, Prabu Jayengrana and Dewi Anggarawati returned to the King's private palace as well as Duke Tejo Sumirat and Regent Panji Gunungsari. The two parents decided to immediately return to their respective areas of power, to prepare the assistance of soldiers who were prepared to face the Blambangan troops.
That afternoon, Keputran Kadiri closed himself so that no guests entered on the orders of the Maharaja of Panjalu Prabu Jayengrana on the grounds that the Prince was resting from a long journey. This was all so that Panji Tejo Laksono could prepare to receive Ajian Tameng Waja.
The night is coming.
Panji Tejo Laksono who was sitting cross-legged in his bedroom was shocked by the figure of Prabu Jayengrana.
"The Kanjeng Romo..
Kog in there's no sound? Even I could not feel the energy in Kanjeng Romo", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he stood up from his seat.
"Hehehehe..
This is Ajian Halimun, the science I got from Tatar Pasundan. You're not yet the time to get this science. Come now come with me, my Son", said Panji Watugunung who immediately held the hand of Panji Tejo Laksono.
A thin streak of white mist appeared around the place. A moment later the father and son had already disappeared from sight. Panji Tejo Laksono blinked his eyes looking around the place where they were standing. A fairly flat place on the edge of a high rock cliff loomed. Next to it a fairly large waterfall sounded. Although still the atmosphere of the night, but the water vapor felt around the place where the father and son were.
"Where is Kanjeng Romo?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he continued to spread his gaze.
"Don't ask too many questions, we don't have much time..
Now quickly you sit cross-legged on that rock. I will lower my Ajian Tameng Waja to you", Panji Watugunung replied immediately.
Without asking any more, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately sat cross-legged on top of the spot pointed by his father.
"Ending your mind, close your eyes and open all four senses...
Whatever happens, never complain or shift from where you are sitting" Panji Watugunung orders while gathering half his inner strength.
Tejo Laksono's banner obediently obeyed the father's orders. Slowly his breathing began to settle down and calm down. His eyes were closed and his mind was empty so that all his five senses were able to hear, feel and unite with the surrounding nature.
Panji Watugunung's right hand slowly emitted a golden yellow light from Ajian Tameng Waja. Quickly, the Maharaja of Panjalu immediately put his right hand to the crown of the head of Panji Tejo Laksono. That golden yellow light quickly spread throughout the body.
Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!
The banner of Tejo Laksono screamed loudly as the heat spread throughout the joints of his body. The pain is very true as if to destroy the entire body of Panji Tejo Laksono. But even so, the eldest son of the Maharaja of Panjalu did not budge from his seat. Cold sweat poured out profusely from the body of Panji Tejo Laksono.
Slowly the golden yellow rays widened and continued to widen to cover the entire body of Panji Tejo Laksono.
When the entire body of Panji Tejo Laksono was covered by the golden yellow light, Panji Watugunung released his hand from the head of Panji Tejo Laksono. Quickly, the Maharaja of Panjalu immediately set his breath. Then a faint smile saw Panji Tejo Laksono who started to calm down as Ajian Tameng Waja slowly started to fuse with his body.
"Now open your eyes, my son"
Hearing the words of Panji Watugunung, Panji Tejo Laksono opened his eyes slowly. He saw his entire body glow golden yellow.
"Now control Ajian Tameng Waja with energy in you", orders Panji Watugunung later. Panji Tejo Laksono immediately concentrated on controlling his canuragan science. Slowly the golden yellow rays on the body of Panji Tejo Laksono faded slowly and the body of Panji Tejo Laksono returned as usual.
Patugunung banner smiled widely.
"Now try to get your Ajian Tameng Waja out, my son".
Hearing the order, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately commats kamit chanting mantra. His body was instantly covered by a golden yellow light. Seeing that Panji Watugunung standing as far as 2 spears from Panji Tejo Laksono immediately shot towards the son and hit his right hand palm that was red lit like fire.
Chhiyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaat!!
Rrrrrrrrrrr!!!
A powerful explosion was heard when Ajian Tapak Dewa Api released by the Watugunung Panji hit the body of Tejo Laksono Panji covered by a golden yellow light. Thick smoke was created from the clash of the two high power sciences. Watugunung banner was salted once in the air and landed as far as 2 spears backward.
Panji Tejo Laksono himself who did not expect that his father would attack him, dragged back two steps back.
"Good Son..
Now you have mastered Ajian Tameng Waja perfectly. You have to remember, in a fight everything can happen. You should always be on the lookout for your opponents", advises Panji Watugunung immediately.
"I understand Kanjeng Romo" Panji Tejo Laksono said while respecting his father.
"It's late at night. We'd better get back to the palace. Let's go home ", Panji Watugunung immediately darted towards Panji Tejo Laksono and held his son's hand. A mist of white smoke enveloped the entire bodies of the two of them and they immediately disappeared from sight.
Dewi Anggarawati mondar mandir at Puri Keputran Kadiri. Her husband and son disappeared from the palace. There was little sense of worry in his heart as both of his went without saying goodbye.
When Panji Watugunung and Panji Tejo Laksono appeared before her, Dewi Anggarawati immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The Panjalu Queen immediately approached the two of them.
"Where are you guys from?
Father and son are the same. It's so nice to make people worry".
