Jaka Umbara; The Wind Warrior

Ledonggowo

“In the entire region, both from East to West, and the end of North to South, there are two kinds of groups that continue to fight since ancient times. They were also divided into two factions, the White and the Black. We as the White Group continue to maintain the integrity and harmony of every society in every region of this kingdom. On the contrary, Blacks tend to be more often oppressive and concerned with their own interests without ever thinking about the impact of any actions they take on others.”

“There are some studies that indicate whether they belong to the White Group or the Black Group. Such as the Study of a Thousand Gledekan, Trolong Sakti, Angkara Murka Durjana, Alam Segara and Sejarit Langit which are some of the studies used by the Black Group. While the White Group has the study of Silk Shawl, Color Rajah Kemuning Mas, Rajah Tujuh Saketip, Batu Aji Laksa and Pring Kasyaf as an antidote to these studies. In addition, there are also some studies that are also studied by the White and Black Groups, such as White Fiber, Soul Fiber or Fragrant Art.”

“In addition there are still many other types of studies that are not widely known by the two groups. Especially for those who do not belong to the White and Black Groups. This is what will make some of the people who have certain study styles as a very easy target for Black People. Whether it is to be used as a follower of their group or just to get rid of it.”

“Therefore, you must be careful. The Ajian that you master is not included in the White Class study nor belongs to the Blacks. They will definitely continue to do everything in their power so that you can be eliminated until you join their group.

“Good, Cake. I'll remember it.”

His Majesty King of Manggut-mangut.

"I begged Grandpa's blessing. I'll leave the day after to see him to Batu Caves."

"Are you going there alone?"

"No, I'm not leaving alone. I asked Goddess Mayasari to accompany me. Maybe my brother wants to come along later."

"Alright, my blessing is with you. Remember, take care of my son-in-law's grandson! I'll keep waiting for my great-grandson to be born to you."

"Grandfather.. What is Grandpa talking about.. Me, Me and Nyimas.." Jaka's face was slightly reddened.

"Already, already. You go get some rest!" Trying to divert his words. "By the way, when are you going to get back to your store?"

"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning, Cake. I'm willing to retreat and rest." Prepare to stand up and stand up.

The King also rose. "Yes, go get some rest."

Next day..

Morning time. Jaka Umbara accompanied by Lembing Wuluh had prepared with their horses to return..

"Grandfather, we're leaving.." Pull the reins and start racing his horse quickly.

"Yes, be careful with your journey."

"Paduka, I beg you to leave."

Lembing Wuluh tried to bow to pay her respects. Moments later, he helped spur his horse following Jaka Umbara.

His Majesty nodded slowly. The departure of the grandson, Jaka Umbara, who was again accompanied by Lembing Wuluh.

Padepokan, where Jaka Umbara lived. Daylight. At that time Laras who wanted to learn the science of Kanuragan was training the basics with the company of Nyi Dewi, under the direct guidance of Ki Pucung and Nyi Pucung who sat on the porch padepokan observing training Laras.

"Room, watch your horses! Your legs are too wide!" shouted Nyi Pucung who saw Laras so stiff.

"Auntie, I got him. My legs feel like numbness," Laras lamented to Nyi Pucung's screams at him.

Nyi Dewi cheers Laras. "Diajeng, be patient for a moment. Did not Diajeng want to show the results of your training to your brother when he returned."

Shortly afterwards, from the side of Ledonggowo came to bring some of his men and shouted to call Jaka Umbara.

"Jaka Umbara! Goddamnit! Out you!"

Laras who was focused on practicing again, just ran behind Nyi Dewi while hiding himself.

Ledonggowo sat haughtily on horseback and approached the paddle. It stops right in the middle of the courtyard.

All his men who followed him instantly widened to form a line around him.

Laras was more frightened when he saw all the Ledonggowo men who had raised their weapons and prepared to attack.

Nyi Dewi asked as she calmed the frightened Laras. "Ledonggowo, what do you want?"

"Quick, Say! Where is Jaka Umbara?"

"What are you looking for?"

"That has nothing to do with you. Hurry up, just tell me, where is he?!" sergeant Ledonggowo with high notes.

"The person you're looking for isn't here. You better get out of here soon," Nyi Dewi kicked Ledonggowo out.

Nyi Dewi feels Ledonggowo's arrival will only remind Laras of what happened to him when he was kidnapped by the Black Horse group.

"Milk..." Holding the hand of Nyi Dewi tightly. "Dinda's scared!.." Worry and feel uncomfortable.

"Don't be afraid! Mbakyu is here! There's Uncle and Aunt here." Once again Nyi Dewi calmed Laras so as not to remember the incident that had experienced it.

Ki Pucung and Nyi Pucung approached Nyi Dewi to find out what happened.

What's the matter?" tanya Ki Pucung melted the atmosphere.

"Yes, come on, let's talk carefully" continued Nyi Pucung.

"I have nothing to do with you. You better get out of the way" Ledonggowo murmured in a tone that did not go down in the least.

"Young man! That's not how you should talk to your parents," said Ki Pucung still give a sense of tolerance to Ledonggowo's remarks. "does no one teach you manners?"

"I don't want to hear about any talks. There are things that are important to me until I get here" Ledonggowo said indifferently.

"The person you are looking for is not inside. Then you have no business coming here either."

Ledonggowo stared intently at Nyi Dewi, he could not reply to Nyi Dewi's words. But, Ledonggowo remained firm in his stance to get what he was looking for.

"In that case, I'll make her his bail." Pointing towards Nyi Dewi. Gave a very creepy look.

Nyi Dewi knew who Ledonggowo was referring to. Nothing else, Laras was hiding behind his back. Laras felt more frightened while continuing to hold the hand of Nyi Dewi.

"What do you want to do with him? I won't let you touch or carry it!"

Ledonggowo. "Haha! That, I decide! Unless you can get Jaka Umbara instead."
