The Prabu

🌺 hem... 🌺

* * *

Several hundred years, before the Dutch set foot in the archipelago.

In one part of JawaDwipa.

A work stands firm and is led by a Prabu who is highly respected and respected by his people.

Although not a big kingdom in his time, but the name of the work is quite famous .

In addition to fair and wise leadership, the lives of the people who live in it are also quite prosperous.

So do not be surprised if this work is seen as reluctant by the work of aboutga. This cannot be separated from the assertiveness of the leader in regulating and maintaining his territory . Until it succeeds in the welfare of the lives of its people.

It's been three days, susana in the magnificent building roofed joglo was in a sign of anxiety.

The successor candidate is in the process of being born.

Since ten years after inheriting the throne and counted have changed empresses three times, the Prabu will finally be in the bounty of his first child.

' clak' wooden doors filled with distinctive hand carvings of sculptor artists, open.

The room is the place where the empress is struggling to give birth to the successor to the throne.

A fat woman stepped out and immediately approached the Prabu who was standing restlessly in front of the door.

The woman was one of three healers who helped deliver the empress .

'' The servant facing the noble Prabu, the woman with the worn-brown array, was bowed with an anxious look.

For what he is about to say is a sad news.

The Prabu was silent.

The 30-year-old closed his eyes as the healer continued.

The queen died . Same with the baby he has not yet born.

The Prabu turned around. Hiding the tears that escaped when the healer said, if he and other healers were forced to do something to bring out a baby who was no longer alive.

The baby died because it had been stuck in the birth canal for too long.

Sang Prabu's heart throbbed pain.

At the same time, he had to lose his life companion as well as a child who was so anticipated in a tragic way.

Then the sad news was quickly spread throughout the kedaton .

Grief not only enveloped those who lived in and around the palace, but all the people also mourned the death of the Empress and future successors who did not even have the opportunity to see the world.

Do not want to linger, both the bodies of the mother and child were buried.

The funeral procession was closed and only attended by the elder and the Prabu only.

Time keeps going. But the grief was still so pronounced even after forty days of the departure of the empress and the baby who was known to be male.

How not. The Prabu is the only descendant and until now has not managed to get offspring. Not even a woman who is his wife lasts a long time and can give birth to children for him.

And in fact, what happens and continues to repeat is not without cause.

It all started ten years ago.

At that time, the 20-year-old Sang Prabu had just inherited the royal singasana. And coinciding with that, his marriage to one of the noble daughters was held.

Not long ago. The empress who was his first wife conceived .

Everyone is happy to welcome. Especially for Prabu. He who loves his wife so much, also gives extra attention and abundant affection.

Until not infrequently, what he does for the wife seems excessive.

The moon changed with great joy.

Everyone was preparing to welcome the predicted successor was a prince.

Just like most pregnant women. The queen also suffered from cravings.

Once when the empress's gestational age stepped on 7 months, the woman known as the princess of impeccable nobility was eager to see the border river that was located quite far from the palace.

At first Sang Prabu refused the request of the wife.

But because the Empress who became moody and so not eager to eat, then with a heavy heart Sang Prabu granted it.

Using a specially made horse carriage to be adjusted to the condition of the empress, husband and wife couples and entourage who will escort them during the trip also departed to the border region.

The journey takes one day and one night. And it ends when the horse's footprints stop in front of a stretch of green pasture .

Only a hundred meters away from the rest stop, the stream with its clear water stretched long from end to end.

The river is the boundary of the territory with the neighboring kingdom .

What a stunning natural panorama.

They were all mesmerized by the beauty emblazoned before this moment.

Now they knew the reason why the Empress wanted to visit this place.

Not only so pampering the eyes, the atmosphere created also so won the heart and mind that looked at it.

The empress looked so happy because what she wanted was fulfilled.

The same thing was felt by the Prabu who then ordered his soldiers to immediately build a tent because the night was soon to come.

That day they passed quietly.

But not the next day.

Unexpected things come over .

When everyone had been awake from sleep, they all stared in wonder at the circumstances and atmosphere around.

The sky was covered in clouds of black ash.

Morning did not come. The sun that should have appeared did not appear.

Seeing the unfriendly weather, Prabu and his queen chose to remain in the tent.

But , a moment later the wind began to feel . And slowly become strong. Make the tent staggered and is not expected to survive.

'' Your Majesty, I think we should go immediately to find a safe shelter.

Because it's going to rain and it doesn't seem like it's going to be regular rain either. It could be a storm.

And because of our location in the middle of a stretch like this, no tree can refute to protect our tent.

Then it is very unlikely if we stay here said the head soldier.

The Prabu nodded . He understands the situation.

'' Last night, when the soldiers were looking for firewood, they said they saw a house in the middle of the forest.

Maybe we can ask the residents for permission to enter and take shelter ''

Seeing the conditions outside the darkening, the windstorm that is mutually unpretentious, plus thinking about the condition of the wife, without thinking long the Prabu also agreed to the proposal.

The soldiers were ordered to pack up and prepare to move .

The storm is coming soon.

The troupe spurred a step into the forest, towards the house that was said to be in the middle.

In the midst of the panic that struck, only the Empress seemed to remain calm.

It is the one he is most worried about.

The Prabu who noticed the strange attitude of his wife was astonished. But soon he tepis prejudice that is approaching him. Because the priority at this time is to get to a safe place to avoid the weather that began to be controlled by the wind and the point - the point of rain.

In short they arrived at a house that is quite large and also sturdy, even though it is in the middle of the wilderness.

When they went inside, the house turned out to be uninhabited.

The Prabu also ordered the soldiers to explore each side of the house.

And the result is nil. No one was found.

'' It's okay. If later the residence comes, we will explain and give him a reward said the Prabu .

Shortly after they all managed to move the goods inside and put the carriage and horses into the stable at the back of the house, the sky immediately poured rain so swift.

Billions of water falls soaking up everything out there. Plus the wind that also does not want to lose ferocious.

The storm really hit anything that touched him.

The Prabu is grateful because, if it is a little slow they are not necessarily safe or even their history must have ended .

As if endless, the storm continued through the night.

Countless times the sound of trees falling and the sound of wind hitting the walls of houses .

The soldiers were assigned in turns to patrol . Ensure that the house is safe from storm attacks such as wanting to break in.

The night finally passed.

Morning comes. The bias of sunlight enters through the gap of the tenuous wooden wall and illuminates the room in the house.

However, the atmosphere still feels humid. The rest of the storm brought and caused wetness around it.

It also feels cold.

Sang Prabu and his soldiers decided to go out to check things out .

And how surprised they were when they saw the storm that had torn apart and made every tree around the house fall.

But what surprised him even more was a hunchback woman holding a cane staring at them.

It looks so shabby. The array he was wearing was dull and profanity on his thin body.

The white-haired old lady who was in the original bun started to move slowly.

Suddenly, they all stared in the same direction. Where the grandmother was getting closer until finally stopped on the stairs of the house.

Their eyes all widened. How not. When carefully observed. The grandmother did not walk but floated.

' no. no. no ' the sound of wood that became the support of the road to climb one by one stairs.

The grandmother reached the last step and stopped right on the porch floor.

He lifted his chin, looking at the Prabu who was the one in the front row .

The Prabu returned his gaze with a wrinkled forehead.

All the heads of the soldiers who stood beside him, and the soldiers behind him began to shudder as the grandmother began to smile and show her black teeth .

The atmosphere suddenly became full of horror, when the smile had turned into a ruckus that made anyone have the creeps to hear it.

Then the voice of the grandmother's laughter grew louder and somehow could echo . Fulfill the whole forest.

The face of Prabu suddenly tense. He began to feel a bad feeling.

'' Kan-kandaaaaaa.

' deg' immediately the Prabu turned his head.

He looked at the grandmother with a feeling of anxiety.

'' Khan.. Khan.daaa back the empress called out to him.

The Prabu immediately moved

But before he ordered the soldiers to stay in place and keep the grandmother from entering.
