Jaka Someh's

Chapter 24. Goddess Sekar Harum.

At dusk, in a place 20 km from the hill now occupied by Jaka Someh, there was a young girl who was practicing kanuragan diligently. A Nyai named Dewi Sekar Perum, a student of a famous female swordsman in the region, Nini Gunting Pamungkas.

Nyai Dewi Sekar Harum is famous for its beauty and elegance. Her body is beautiful with an ideal height, plus her hair that decomposes to the waist length. Her skin was pure white with beautiful clear eyes that perfected her aura of beauty.

The smell of his body also spread the fragrance of roses and jasmine. Already many men are captivated by her beauty but all of them have not been able to conquer her heart.

In addition to beautiful beauty, Dewi Sekar fragrant also comes from the descendants of nobles. She is the daughter of Raden Suryaatmadja who is still a noble of the forbidden kingdom. Raden Suryaatmadja is also a leader of the white flow Swordsman association in the Sumedang Larang area. He is the leader of the famous Karuhun Heirlooms in the martial region of Pasundan.

Nini Gunting Pamungkas said to Dewi Sekar,

“Oke Nyai, had enough practice today, the sun was about to set, teacher is happy your ability has increased rapidly “

Dewi Sekar only agreed to the words of his teacher,

“Good teacher, I also feel tired to want to rest first “

Then Dewi Sekar also said goodbye to his teacher to go clean up in a shower that was located not far from where he was practicing.

Towards the night, Nini Gunting Pamungkas asked Dewi Sekar to return to face him. After facing each other, Nini Gunting Pamungkas then said to his student, saying,

“Begini Nyai, this afternoon the teacher had the arrival of a guest from the White Lotus Padepokan, they said that Ki Jabrik and his horde had started to penetrate into the king's city. Some colleges such as the white elephant and the kahuripan sword have been destroyed. Ramamu and other white warriors are now preparing to face the ferocity of Ki Jabrik's gang. According to the information the teacher received, ki Jabrik and his gang intended to destroy your Rama, Nyai. Then the teacher intends to send you home to Sumedang in order to help your mama's struggle against the ferocity of Ki Jabrik “

Hearing that he was asked by his teacher to go home, Dewi Sekar felt happy and worried. Happy to be meeting with his family who he has long left, worried because of the circumstances of his family who are now under threat from the group Ki Jabrik Association.

Dewi Sekar had heard the news about the emergence of the Ki Jabrik Association Group which has been troubling the community in the last five years. Many people have become their victims. In addition to suffering from looted property, many people are victims of murder. Members of the criminal gang are notoriously cruel and sadistic. This horde has transformed into a frightening specter for warriors. There have been many silat stacks in the pasundan region that they have destroyed.

Imagining the ferocity of the Ki Jabrik horde like that, Dewi Sekar immediately agreed to the proposal of his teacher to immediately go home to Sumedang Larang. He was worried about his father being threatened.

“Good teacher, I will follow the teacher's instructions, I will go home to help Rama, I happen to also have missed my family very much “

Nini Scissors Pamunkas nodded his head, actually he felt heavy to take off his favorite student. He was aware that the task he had given to his disciple this time, was a very dangerous task, life was at stake.

For Nini Gunting Pamungkas, Dewi Sekar is not just a student, but has been considered as his own child.  How not, he has been nurturing and educating her since Dewi Sekar was 6 years old.

After being silent for a while Nini Gunting Pamungkas said to Dewi Sekar,

“Ya already Nyai, tonight you get ready, tomorrow morning you can go home to Sumedang”.

Dewi Sekar nodded his head while saying,

“Thank you Master, now I beg you to leave first, I am permission to prepare supplies for tomorrow morning”.

Nini Gunting Pamungkas also invited Dewi Sekar Harum,

“Ya Nyai, please “

The next morning, Dewi Sekar said goodbye to his teacher. He will leave for Sumedang Larang alone.

Unable to withstand the grief of parting with his teacher, his tears began to pour. Likewise with Nini Gunting Pamungkas, whose heart is heavy to release the departure of his students. Nini scissors then give blessing to Dewi Sekar.

Dewi Sekar set off on horseback. When passing through the padepokan gate, Dewi Sekar remembered the memories of his past, when he was first brought and introduced by Dewi Tanjung Biru to Nini Gunting Pamungkas. Dewi Tanjung Biru is one of the younger siblings of Raden Surya Atmaja. At that time Dewi Sekar was still 6 years old, after her biological mother, named Dewi Laras perfumed died.

Her mother died after bleeding while giving birth to Raden Arya Rajah. Dewi Sekar's biological sister.

At first his father objected to parting with Dewi Sekar. But after convinced by Dewi Tunjung Biru that everything was for the future good of Dewi Sekar, Raden Surya Atmaja finally let his daughter be in the care of Nine Scissors Pamungkas.

Once a year Raden Surya Atmaja visited Dewi Sekar while carrying Arya Rajah. Dewi Sekar's relationship with her sister is fairly good. Although they rarely meet, they love each other as brothers and sisters.
