On the last night before the balebat. Usually the air is very cold. The skin feels frozen. It was like being covered in snow. But this time it's different. A warm wind blew into the rock crevice.
The young man felt another creature nearby. The longer it gets thicker. It's like getting closer from afar. Even now he felt that there was a creature standing in front of him.
"You called me, open your eyes!"
A soft voice flowed and greeted the young man who was slowly following the soft words.
His body was slightly jolted once his gaze formed a beautiful beautiful female figure that depicted the dream woman he was after. However, he knew this woman was not a human being, because her figure was only a shadow.
"Like this, right, the woman of your dreams?" ask the shadow woman.
The young man just nodded unable to say anything. He was amazed because the figure in front of him was really similar to his heart adoration.
"Your father has graduated, I will grant your wish. I'm gonna get inside your adorable lady. Go home, when she meets him she's already in love with you!"
The shadow of this woman slowly disappeared. The atmosphere returned as cold as it was at the top of the mountain, but a peerless smile of excitement rose on the young man's lips so as not to feel the air so bone-piercing as it reached the marrow.
The young man immediately jumped out of the crevice of the rock. He ran to the beach. Washing part of his body.
"Nini Kewuk, I'll send you a reward soon!" he said he left the place feeling happy.
He did not know that since his departure there was always someone trailing. Even when he was imprisoned, he never escaped the supervision of the stalker.
Only after being away from the beach did the stalker chase him faster. On a road that was still quiet because of a new day passing through the balebat, the stalker flashed before and then confronted the young man.
"The romance!" shock the young man as soon as he saw the barrier.
"What have you done, Parta Dinata?"
The young man who turned out to be one of the members of the Honorary Council named Parta Dinata seemed misbehaved. The answer must be what.
"Say!" anjasmara.
"It's just a personal matter" replied Parta Dinata in a soft and down voice.
"Personal business?"
"True, not related to the martial world let alone to bring the name of the padepokan,"
"Why go secretly?"
"Because it's urgent!"
"Till three days?"
Parta Dinata. His gaze was full of inquiry even to the leader himself. His mind is full of question marks.
"It's not wrong, I did follow you from the start!" Anjasmara grinned obliquely.
Parta Dinata took a long breath. "So you know what I'm doing?"
"Of course!"
"really, right? Just a personal matter?
"You're crazy, Parta!"
They are now walking in tandem. Morning mentari greeting in the eastern horizon. Fresh wind blows everything.
"Didn't you put your heart on her, too?" parta Dinata Reply.
"But I know myself, not as determined as you. Even now I'm scared after knowing her husband!"
Anjasmara laughs demeaningly. "He is nicknamed the Flying Umbrella Swordsman. Before coming here, he had crippled Gentasora, the Mahaguru of Mount Sindu!"
Suddenly Parta Dinata stopped the steps with a careless face. A few moments ago he was seen. Now his mind is suddenly confused. Anjasmara continued to leave her.
His pursuit of love soon succeeded. The shadow creature in the form of his dream woman said that once he met one day, he had fallen in love with her.
For love she was determined to use the science of pellets to snatch her beloved woman from her husband. In his shadow, when Asmarini is in his grasp, the husband will be helpless because his wife prefers him.
And will give up for the happiness of his wife. But... After knowing that the husband is a famous great swordsman, is it possible that the swordsman will take off just like that?
Why didn't Anjasmara tell him from the beginning? Regretfully. Now he doesn't have the courage to go home.
"Because it's your personal business, then I won't interfere!" said Anjasmara surprised because suddenly it was in front of him again.
Parta Dinata could say nothing more. Finally he got into the paddle by sneaking through a shortcut.

In the afternoon after the practice was completed, Mahaguru Manguntara gathered all members of the Honorary Council in the meeting room. Already often held a deliberation like this to discuss about the affairs of padepokan.
"I want to convey a new thing for the continuity of our paddle," Mahaguru Manguntara began the conversation after all the members were complete.
No one dared to answer before the master continued. The mood was silent for a moment.
"I plan to accept female disciples!"
All the members of the Honorary Council were shocked. Everyone had never expected this before. I heard some muttering. However, Ki Manguntara smiled instead.
"We cannot comment yet" Anjasmara said on behalf of all the members. "Still waiting for an explanation Eyang!"
Mahaguru Manguntara sighed for a moment. "Alright, the first prospective female students ranging from five years old to adolescence. Isn't this good? The atmosphere will be more lively, right?"
The whole room looked noisy. However, it seems like one voice. Agree.
"Then who will train him, Eyang?"
"I've contacted several female warriors who are my friends. And the good news is they're ready,"
"Keep, how do you find or bring in female disciples?"
"Well, this is the second one" replied Ki Manguntara. "Preferably those who have been orphaned. The good news is, my friends will each bring some students. In addition, you can search the villages,"
Silent again. This plan really made their hearts happy. Anjasmara recalled Asmarini's remark that the world is vast. With the presence of female students, there will be many choices later. It seemed like the master understood the state of his students.
"Next we will discuss the new rules for this," continued mahaguru. "Because women's things are so complicated!"
Ki Manguntara actually always thought about Asmarini's proposal about female students. Until he could think about how good and bad it was. He also had heard stories about the plots of Linggapura from the tiny beauty.
Next they make rules about this. I don't know why everyone is so excited. Women are an encouragement.

Since two days ago Adijaya has started to study the book of Hyang Sajati in the basement. Asmarini was alone in the carriage. She hoped her husband would quickly master it.
During the training, Asmarini was allowed to visit her husband to deliver food every three days. Adijaya only asked Ki Santang to accompany and take care of him.
While Padmasari was assigned to care for Asmarini even though the little one already had a service in the form of horses from the soft nature.
"Daughter, please be careful, someone will come!" exclaimed the female horse that felt an oddity.
"Is anyone coming?" Asmarini frown.
