Jayakusuma Tirta

ki Ranu's

ki Ranu immediately walked out of the inner room, and immediately greeted all of them present.

ki Ranu then sat next to Tirta who had been sitting there since then with Bayu and Adnan.

"Let's taste the dish first," said ki Ranu.

among the dishes there are also some blackish brown tobacco in fine and soft chopped, placed in several dishes.

Tambakau tobacco is indeed the result of the Srengseng dukuh plant itself, smells fragrant and appetizing.

Also available klobot (dry corn leaf) and also whole tobacco leaves as a wrapper of udud or cigarette.

In addition, there are also cloves and frankincense that have been pureed.

These are all typical ingredients of udud the ancestors of the land of Java.

The elders and everyone present were very enthusiastic about seeing this.. Rarely can they enjoy udud incense in added cloves and this very special tobacco..

In a moment the pendopo room has been decorated with thick smog.

The smell of my pottery and the spread filled the pendopo.

The distinctive smell of frankincense will make people who are not accustomed to dizziness seven circumference. But not with these Srengseng saints.

They looked very happy and enjoyed it.

Fortunately for Tirta Bayu and Adnan who are getting used to this model cigarette. So they are not too tortured.

In the paddock Mbah Hardjo they have started to get used to smoking with udud klobot, but they have never mixed it with frankincense, at best only in coffee catfish only.

A while later ki Ranu started to speak;

"Poro sederek (brothers) all, tonight I will talk about the fate of this Srengseng saint to all of you" said ki Ranu.

"As you all know, Aryo Seto has made the ontran (riot) in this place.

"And thank God this time there is anakmas Tirta Jayakusuma who has willingly and willingly risked his life for the sake of this Srengseng saint."

Ki Ranu paused for a moment, then continued his words again.

"For the time being we can breathe with relief. But this threat has not really disappeared, it is time for the Wuni to attack again here maybe with much greater strength," continued ki Ranu.

"For that, you must be more active in practicing canuragan ! so that you can defend this Srengseng unity from the threat of the unity of Wuni and Aryo Seto !"

"I am old and my energy has begun to recede, whether until when my life is stuck in my old body," ki Ranu pause for a moment , after taking a deep breath then continuing the word;

"I have only one descendant, Nastiti. And to lead this Srengseng sect I think it is not yet time for Nastiti, because she is too young !"

"And while waiting Nastiti is ready or maybe later if there are my descendants who are ready and able! so I want to leave for a while until the time comes that somehow, the leader of this unity to ki Amongraga !"

Instantly in the pendopo room of the house ki Ranu became silent.They looked surprised by the notice ki Ranu this time.

"What do you think ?" ki Ranu asked everyone present at the pendopo.

It was seen that ki Sentanu was speaking immediately;

"I don't think it's a problem ki Ranu ! but in this still dire situation, because the threat of ki Pradigdo and Aryo Seto has not passed completely, is not very dangerous for the safety of the population of this inauguration? ask ki Sentanu.

"I don't want to shrink the ability of ki Amongraga, but we do need a strong person like the childmas Tirta jayakusuma" said the elder again.

"Ki Ranu, it seems true what is said ki Sentanu and ki Sarno," this time ki Amongraga who gave a response.

"I know of my limited abilities" continued ki Amongraga.

"I am not as great and strong as ki Ranu and Tirta's children." Answer ki Amongraga.

Indeed, in this Srengseng solid from the past until now always led by the ancestors of ki Ranu who is the forerunner of this Srengseng unity.

The position as a gegedug and at the same time the chief of Srengseng was always hereditary from ki Ranu's ancestors.

"Don't worry about ki Amongraga's science problems, as long as I'm alive I will always keep an eye on Srengseng's clergy, also I will put all the rest of my life into galvanizing Nastiti, he said, until the time comes when he can become a leader in this unity, said ki Ranu encouraging ki Amongraga."

"In addition, later the childmas Tirta Jayakusuma also participated in supervising and guarding this Srengseng unity even though not every time he was in this unity" said ki Ranu.

"The son of Tirta will be a citizen of this order."

"I mean Ranu? tanya ki Sentanu later.

"Tirta's son I'm a match with Nastiti, replied ki Ranu !

Everyone present had indeed heard last night when ki Ranu said about this. But they still don't take it too seriously.

But tonight it seems that ki Ranu is very serious about his words this time.

Wulungan's face looks very disappointed to hear this decision ki Ranu, but what is the power? from Nastiti taken by Aryo Seto? then it is much better to get this young man as his partner.. Wulungan more willing Nastiti with Tirta Jayakusuma, although still his heart is very sick to accept this statement.

He who has been a child already likes Nastiti, he with Nastiti has grown up together and when he was a teenager Wulungan has started to feel like Nastiti and hopes that later he will be a companion of Nastiti. Now everything's falling apart.

It was originally when Aryo Seto who suddenly came and was between him and Nastiti. When Aryo Seto leaves, Wulungan's hopes grow back.

But now his hopes have collapsed again since the arrival of Tirta Jayakusuma!

***

Tirta could only quietly hear all the words of ki Ranu! he could not afford to hurt ki Ranu and the people of Srengseng.

"Let what will happen" the inner Tirta resigned to pepesten (destination) which must be in his way.

"Well then do ki Ranu" replied ki Amongraga.

"I accept this decision ki Ranu!"

"Don't worry about Aryo Seto ki Amongraga! with the support of all Srengseng shaman residents, surely we will be able to go through difficult times this time.

Moreover, there is anakmas Tirta Jayakusuma who will be part of this Srengseng family, he will help maintain this unity" said ki Ranu again.

"Oh yes Ki Amongraga, to fill your position as Constable choose one of the solidified citizens who are qualified enough in canuragan" continued ki Ranu.

"Well ki Ranu, tomorrow I will hold a test to choose a new Constable to replace me," replied ki Amongraga.

"Ki Sentanu, please prepare everything to perform Nastiti's wedding ceremony" Ranu said .

"When do you think Ranu ?" ask ki Sentanu..
