Jaka Umbara; The Wind Warrior

Back to the paddle

Morning time. On the edge of a small lake..

Beautiful and comfortable atmosphere. The fragrance of the flowering plants covered with morning dew also decorate, along with a gust of fresh morning air.

Dewi Mayasari walks beside a small lake overgrown with several kinds of flowers.

There is a row of white roses flanked by several other flower plants. Not far from there, two rows of flowers Sulang also thrives.

On the other hand, there are also Meniran, Sampu Wind and Earring flowers. Although it looks like a wild plant, it is possible that these plants have herbalism properties, so they are planted in that place.

When the middle was busy looking at the surrounding while breathing fresh air, suddenly His Majesty approached him.

"Sir, what are you doing here?" ask the King.

"Steel.mm, Grandpa," he said nervously.

"I was looking for a fresh breeze while looking at the flowers." she explained.

"Where's your husband?" Back to throwing questions.

"Kangmas isn't.." Down shy. Unable to explain. The red hue on his face was suddenly clearly visible.

"Is he still not awake?"

Nodding slowly. "It seems so.."

"This brat! What is she thinking?" Shaking head.

From the back of His Majesty, Jaka Umbara walked with gasps.

"Grandfather, I want to talk to Grandpa about something. There's something I want to ask Grandpa" Controlling the roar of his breath up and down.

"Basic! Why did you just wake up when noon was almost here?"

Astounded. "No! I'm not waking up.."

"And see what you're doing? How can you leave your wife alone?"

"Wife.." said Jaka lirih. Think what's up with that word. Then he remembered the familiar figure.

"Grandfather, Nyimas just.." Intend to reject the words of His Majesty. However, his eyes caught the familiar figure, thus undoing his intentions.

"Do you want to deny it? Aha! You're just like your father was."

"No, Cake." Respond spontaneously. A little nervous to hear the words of His Majesty.

"Yes, you go with your wife! Don't leave him alone anymore" asked His Majesty to turn around and prepare to leave the two.

"Sir, go ahead if you still want to go around, yeah!"

"Ba, well, Cake." Answer Goddess Mayasari.

"If this brat leaves you again, just say it! I'll punish him later."

Dewi Mayasari did not reply to His Majesty's words, only nodding slowly.

After His Majesty left, a sense of awkwardness enveloped the two.

Both of them remained silent for quite a while without a word.

"Yep, Nyimas.. Forgive Grandpa's attitude" said Jaka embarrassed.

"Ti, it's okay, Kangmas. I get it."

Both are silent again.

"I, that.. Nyima.."

"Yes?!"

"I ... will accompany you around." Throw away views.

"Hm!" Nodding slowly, throwing his gaze in the other direction.

For several days Jaka and Dewi Mayasari lived in the royal palace at the request of His Majesty.

Both have been around for almost a week.

There was not much they could do around the royal palace. At most just around looking at the flower garden or just talking with His Majesty.

"Grandfather, is there somewhere around here to practice?" jaka asked as he and Dewi Mayasari accompanied His Majesty around one morning.

"Why did you suddenly ask that?" ask the King.

"I have not trained for a long time the lessons handed down by Master to me" replied Jaka.

"alright. I'll take you there."

His Majesty then took Jaka Umbara and Dewi Mayasari to the place in question.

The place they were heading to was in the southern part of the royal palace. It is about 100 mounds.

Along the side are several physical training tools complete with several kinds of weapons to practice.

Half of it is covered with shady plants. At the end there is a room without walls and only has a few poles as a roof support.

"Is this a place to practice, Cake?" Ask with doubt.

"Yes. This is a place devoted to training physical strength or training in lightness," said His Majesty. "before, when I was young, I used this place to practice. I have rarely used it again in years."

"Can I use it?"

"Yes, you can use it if you like! I'll be with your wife at the break."

"Grandfather, me and Nyimas.." Throw a glance towards Goddess Mayasari.

Hope Goddess Mayasari helps her explain the misunderstanding.

Goddess Mayasari could not do much. His face suddenly reddened hearing His Majesty's words.

He also wanted to reject the words of His Majesty just now. It's just feeling awkward.

"Already, already! No need to pay attention to my words. Go practice! We'll keep you company."

"All right!" jaka pasrah.

"Jaka trained alone. While Goddess Mayasari and Her Majesty accompanied her in the resting place.

"Cone.. Grandpa, please sit down!"

"All right." Take a seat. "you sit beside me" asked His Majesty.

"Good, Cake." Take a seat.

"How do you know Jaka?"

"Mom, it was my father who introduced me to her."

"How long have you known each other?"

"Maybe ten years or so."

"His mother was a woman who never distinguished one's position. But it's not good at hiding things" recalls His Majesty.

Dewi Mayasari was stunned to hear the words of His Majesty.

"Has Kangmas Jaka's mother been..?"

His Majesty nodded slowly. Almost the question of Dewi Mayasari triggered his sadness.

"I'm sorry, Mom, if my question makes Grandpa a little sad."

"What are you talking about? That's long gone! No need to discuss it anymore" said His Majesty.

"She must have been so happy to see her son grow up. He would also be happy to meet his son-in-law."

"Grandfather, me and Kangmas..." Cueing with both hands denied the King's suggestion.

"Yes, yeah. I knew! At least I just want to make it happen."

Back to taking a deep breath. "I hope you're willing to fulfill it."

Goddess Mayasari has trouble answering. On the other hand, he did not want to respond to it early. But on the one hand, he also did not want to make His Majesty feel disappointed if he immediately denied it.

"Mm, what about her attitude as long as you know Jaka?" Change the topic of conversation.

"He has an attitude like his mother. He's also impatient." Looking at Jaka who is training.

"Yes, yeah. What else do you know about his attitude?" A little enthusiastic about the topic.

"He's.." Dewi Mayasari recounts things related to Jaka.

Jaka saw Goddess Mayasari and His Majesty laughing at each other in conversation.

"What are they talking about?" muttered.

He immediately stopped his training and approached the resting place.

"What are you talking about?"

Dewi Mayasari was surprised by Jaka's presence.

"Nothing!" Covering his conversation with His Majesty.

"Grandfather, did Nyimas say anything bad about me?"

"How could you think that to your wife?"

Jaka can't pay anything back. He couldn't find what they were talking about.

"Have you finished practicing?"

"Yes, Cake."

His Majesty invited Jaka and Dewi Mayasari to the dinner table after Jaka's training was completed.

After staying for ten days Jaka and Dewi Mayasari resigned.

"Didn't you want to stay in the palace with your grandfather?" ask the King with a slightly sad face.

"The teacher told me to keep the parapet from being empty" replied Jaka. "one day I will stay to accompany Grandpa even longer."

"What about you, Nduk?"

"It looks like I'm going to join Kangmas Jaka as well. But I want to wander for a while, Cake."

"alright. I'll let you go. Remember to come here when you have time."

"Well, Cake" said Jaka and Dewi Mayasari simultaneously.

"So remember to take care of your wife! I'm still waiting for my great-grandson to be born to you."

Jaka's face immediately flushed. "Grandfather!"

The face of Goddess Mayasari was also flushed.

"Alright, take good care of yourself" the King's message said to the two.

Both are soon on horseback. Then withdrew the horse's control and left the royal palace.

Outside the royal palace..

"Kangmas, do you really not want to stay in the palace to accompany Grandpa?"

"I haven't thought about it for now. Someday maybe I'll stay at the royal palace to accompany Grandpa."

"What are you going to do now? Do you intend to go back to the store as well?"

"No! I was about to leave the store for a while and travel to train all my studies. I'll be back someday."

"Neus.."

"Any, Kangmas.." Cutting off Jaka's words. "from now on I will use my nickname?"

"What's your nickname?"

"Call me Nyi Dewi from now on." Speak with pride.

"Where did you get that name?" Little laugh.

Goddess Mayasari. "Why laugh? Is there something wrong with my nickname?"

"No, no!" Holding his laughter so as not to come out.

"Do you doubt the name I made?" Feeling upset.

"Good, fine! I'll listen to what my wife says?" Teasing Goddess Mayasari with a joke.

"Huh! Who do you want to call my wife?" Getting upset.

"Well, I'll remember that name from now on."

"Eh! Just watch out if you forget it!"

"Well, well," said Jaka reassuringly. "we'll split up at the intersection ahead."

"Yes, we'll split up here. Can we meet again or not? depends on our destiny."

"Nyimas, take good care of yourself. Remember not to push yourself" Jaka said.

"Yes. Kangmas. I'll go first." He quickly pulled his horse.

"Be careful on the way."

Dewi Mayasari left Jaka alone.

"Good bye! Hope you're okay! Nyi Goddess!" jaka lirih.

Jaka then drove his horse towards padepokan.
