Jayakusuma Tirta
about ki Ranu's request
Aryo Seto's body was lying in the middle of the fighting arena,
Looks ki Sardulo is crouching next to Aryo Seto, it seems he is checking the state of Aryo Seto.
Not yet ki Sardulo did something, suddenly an old grandfather thought about the age of ki Ranu, jumped closer to Aryo Seto's body..
this grandfather immediately sat down next to Aryo Seto's body which was still lying on the ground.
This grandfather held and stomped some parts of Aryo Seto's body, his face looked tense and serious.
And after a while later he had let go of his massage he immediately said to ki Sardulo ;
"Sardulo take your men back to the solidification. Ask Aryo Seto, later I will treat further," said the grandfather who seems to know Ki Sardulo well.
"Ki Pradigdo !" replied ki Sardulo who seemed to have great respect for these grandfathers.
The followers of Aryo Seto then immediately made a makeshift stretcher from bamboo stems that grow a lot along the road.
Then he lifted Aryo Seto's body and placed it on the bamboo stretcher and returned to the solid Wuni.
"Ranu ! Aryo Seto is your student!
As his teacher you should have educated him well!" said the old grandfather.
"Pradigdo, I have educated him as much as I can, all my knowledge I have passed on to him, right,? but it is your basic nature that should understand better because it was from childhood that Sastro and you who have educated him! And now what is Aryo's reply to me to the people of Srengseng!? what's in return?!" reply ki Ranu with a loud enough voice!
"You are the one who should be in charge, he was for decades in your tutelage and upbringing!" ki Ranu continued.
Yes it turns out that between ki Ranu and ki Pradigdo who is also the grandfather teacher of Aryo Seto is an old acquaintance.
"Huh, the only reason you're Ranu!" exclaim ki Pradigdo no less furious.
"If there is anything with Aryo Seto you and all the residents of Srengseng Padukuhan must be responsible.
"Let's wait until Aryo demands revenge for your behavior today." continued ki Pradigdo.
"Aryo has promised never to disturb this unity again Pradigdo! he has expressed his willingness not to interfere with this unity if he loses the match this time, and now he has lost " cried ki Ranu!
"I don't care about the covenant between you !" answer ki Pradigdo.
"It is clear that Aryo Seto will demand revenge on my orders..!" ki Pradigdo said firmly.
"One more year Ranu, one more year I make sure Aryo will come here again !"
After saying so Ki Pradigdo immediately jumped quickly away following the people of Wuni.
"Hmm base crazy old man," growled ki Ranu.
People looked relieved, they seemed to be in spite of the heavy burden that had pierced their hearts.
ki Ranu looked to take a deep breath.
It seems that today the problem is not over because of the emergence of ki Pradigdo.
***
That morning at the pendopo ki Ranu's house.
Looks ki Ranu and Tirta engaged in a serious conversation, just the two of them alone.
"Anakmas Tirta Jayakusuma, it seems that this problem is far from over" said Ki Ranu opened talks with Tirta.
"Yes Eyang, it seems so," replied Tirta.
"Another year it seems that we will ask for help again at anakmas and will trouble again anakmas Tirta," continued ki Ranu.
"For that anakmas, like your eye request yesterday, I entrust this solidity and also Nastiti to you, said ki Ranu again.
"But Eyang Ranu," interrupted Tirta trying to cut off ki Ranu's words.
"You must not be salaluh exist in this paduhan anakmas, just once-a-time only anakmas when the solidity is in an important state or when anakmas just want to know the state of this solidity.
And it would be nice if anakmas want to stay here !
"I know that mas children have their own lives out there, so your eyes do not force Tirta mas children to live in this Srengseng Padukuhan," continued ki Ranu.
"And as for Nastiti's troubles, I've been convinced to leave it to the kids!"
"Deg !" tirta's heart starts to get messed up when ki Ranu talks about Nastiti.
"Nastiti's parents were gone when Nastiti was a child, Nastiti's mother was sickly since she was left by her husband because she was tempted by the sparkling life in the world out there." said Eyang Ranu
"Nastiti no longer has anyone to take care of a child! while this eye of yours is impossible to take care of it forever.!"
"This one of yours does not demand you for every moment beside Nastiti, because he believes, many women outside this unity are interested in children mas, because he is convinced, because the child mas has an aura that can attract women to get closer to the child mas Tirta Jayakusuma."
"The son of Mas has been destined to have more than one deviation, but there will be many obstacles in the life of the child mas."
It seems that ki Ranu is a clairvoyant who knows about the events that may occur in the future.
"For that child there is no need to worry about this matchmaking," said ki Ranu again.
"Everything that happens to Tirta's child has been outlined! just live the will of Gusti ingkang Murbeng Dumadi.
God rules this life."
"That you won't tie you up too much, also make sure Nastiti will also approve of it."
"The son of Tirta mas can still continue life as usual, like nothing happened after the child mas out of the Srengseng piety," said ki Ranu.
Tirta just looked down silently listening to the words of ki Ranu who was long. He tried to absorb the words and suggestions ki Ranu.
"But can his heart be for Nastiti?" tirta Inner.
Although ki Ranu had said that he would not bind him to always be in this unity, but his heart was still turbulent and worried.
He became reminded of Iza, Nadine and also Dinda. They had filled the recesses of his heart and his days all this time.
"Well my son, tonight will invite some elders to bear witness to this decision .
***
On one occasion, Tirta immediately told about ki Ranu's request to his two best friends Bayu and Adnan.
Basically both of them already know a little about the intention of ki Ranu..
If Tirta refuses firmly will definitely hurt everything, ki Ranu, Nastiti and also the Srengseng community.
"In my opinion, it would be very painful for the people of Srengseng if you reject it Ta, but it will also be a big dilemma if the future who became your soul mate outside is Iza, or Nadine knows this incident,"
Adnan.
"Truely Adnan," said Tirta.
"And you should know the risk !" adnan.
"It could be that after knowing you have married here then Faiza or whoever becomes your wife will soon leave you. But they might as well take it!" adnan.
"I think if we keep this a secret, no one will know..
Only the three of us know" Bayu said.
Bayu and Adnan can only give advice, but all decisions are in the hands of Tirta.
***
The night is coming. the lighting is immediately lit.
In the pendopo some helpers are busy rolling out mats and preparing everything.
Banana, boiled, ganyong, cassava, sweet potato, nogosari and others..
Some time later ki Sentanu, ki Amongraga, Wulungan and the elders have arrived and sit on the mat that has been prepared.
