On the morning of that afternoon, Den Roro accidentally met Puguh who was at the gate of the palace along with Rengganis, accompanying the guard soldiers.
Unexpected Puguh and Rengganis, Den Roro will meet him, surprised to see Den Roro's very different appearance.
Rengganis who usually directly out his judes every meeting with Den Roro, this time just silent while continuing to look at Den Roro who walked closer.
Despite wearing warrior clothes, Den Roro still looks graceful and beautiful. His well-groomed white skin and his long, jet-black hair did not diminish his prowess and charisma as a Senopati.
Once arrived near Puguh and Rengganis, Den Roro immediately called the name Puguh.
"Sluck," Den Roro said in a choked voice, like a stop in the throat.
"Ehh Den Ro ...Enngh ... Roro Nastiti's,... Congratulations on his appointment to be Senopati kingdom," said Puguh, when he saw Den Roro did not make a sound and was confused about what to say.
"Thank you Puguh. But sorry, I just want to ask, why did you refuse Prabu Pandu Kawiswara's offer to become a Senopati ?" den Roro asked by forcing his awkward smile.
"I am very inappropriate to be an official, let alone a Senopati, Roro," Puguh replied.
"Slut, as long as you know, you're more than worthy of being a senopath. Even the most appropriate of anyone. Your science is highest among all of us in this kingdom" Den Roro said.
Hearing Den Roro's words, Puguh fell silent and just lowered her head.
"What if I ask you to accept Prabu Pandu Kawiswara's offer ?" ask Den Roro again.
"Thank you for your concern for me, Roro. But in the meantime, I just want to help and serve this kingdom as much as I can, Roro," replied Puguh as she glanced at Den Roro's face.
Meanwhile, seeing Puguh looking at Den Roro's face, Rengganis approached Puguh. His lips were moving, but no sound came out of his mouth.
Seeing the Rengganis who began to approach, Den Roro was said to be goodbye to return to his place.
"I'm sorry that my arrival has disturbed both of you. I'm going first. Puguh, I hope, you want to think again, Prabu Pandu Kawiswara's offer, so that we can continue to work together !" said Den Roro who then turned around and stepped away.
"I wish we could be together, ... Puguh," continued Den Roro very slowly and only he could hear himself.
Then, with a slight stomp of his right foot, Den Roro's body disappeared, darting very rapidly towards the palace. During the run, several times the back of his left hand rubbed both corners of his eyes.
Meanwhile, Puguh unintentionally, continued to stare towards Den Roro away, so as not to feel that Rengganis was already beside him.
"Roro is indeed beautiful, especially with senopati clothes like the one she wears !" rengganis.
Puguh was surprised by the sentence Rengganis said. To cover up his shock, Puguh held Rengganis' hand.
"If Rengganis' sister became senopati and wore such clothes, it would definitely also look very beautiful !" Puguh.
However, without Puguh thinking, Rengganis pinched his arm so hard that Puguh felt pain.
"Aaddduuuhhh !" shouted Puguh with being detained.
Then, the Rengganis darted rapidly towards the palace, leaving Puguh alone.
If anyone witnesses, they will see how a smile is on the lips of Rengganis.

Meanwhile, as the day was about to enter the night, the soldiers began to be busy lighting torches throughout the region bordering the forest of Setra Jenggala.
On that night, on the orders of Prabu Pandu Kawiswara, the guard in the entire palace area was tightened. Warriors such as Ki Dwijo, Ki Bhanujiwo, Ki Pande and others, were silent as well.
However, until morning came, nothing happened that they were all worried about.
On that morning, Senopati Cakrayuda gathered all the warriors who signed up to become soldiers.
Although only testing at a glance, some warriors have abilities that can be used as warrior leaders. There were even three names that were the highest and highest among the new soldiers, so it was submitted to Prabu Pandu Kawiswara to be promoted to senopati.
The three names are Widura, Arimbi and Dartama. Name that is no stranger to the ears of Puguh.
In addition to trying the abilities of prospective soldiers and prospective warrior leaders, Senopati Cakrayuda also explained, if the Banjaran Pura Kingdom is facing the threat of coming attacks by humans who have demonic abilities and are assisted by demonic creatures.
So that when there are warriors who are not ready or not ready, it is welcome to resign.
But apparently, all the warriors were willing to become soldiers and ready to die to defend the Kingdom Banjaran Pura.
After the warriors were sworn to become soldiers and warrior leaders, they were all allowed to rest, as the day had entered.
At the time they rested, Puguh approached and greeted those who Puguh knew well.
"Kakang Widura, kakang Dartama and Mbakyu Arimbi" Puguh said after being close to them.
A moment the three people, looked at the face of the person calling their name. However, immediately they, instead called out the name of the person standing in front of them.
"Adi Puguh ? Are you really Puguh ?" watura said half-screaming.
"Truly the Widura's leg," replied Puguh.
Hearing that answer, immediately Widura jumped towards Puguh and hugged her tightly.
"Adi Puguh ! I'm glad you're still alive, and alive !" said Widura before then releasing her hug on Puguh.
Dartama also approached and patted Puguh's shoulder. While Arimbi just looked at Puguh with a big smile.
"You also signed up to be a soldier, little brother ?" ask Arimbi jokingly. Then Arimbi and Dartama laughed while staring at Puguh. However, Widura did not laugh, because she knew exactly the strength and ability of Puguh. Especially now, they are the same adults, the possibility of Puguh's ability becomes even higher.
Then they talked for a long time. In his heart, Puguh was happy, people he knew, had high abilities and silat science, even they were all nominated to become Senopati.
"Sir ! My offer to you that used to be, until now is still valid. If you're right to enter the army, you come with me to be my subordinate, don't go with the others !" said Darutama while glancing towards Arimbi.
While Arimbi who did not understand what was meant by Dartama only glanced back and fell silent.
"Yes Kakang Dartama" replied Puguh.
Then, because the day had begun to afternoon, Puguh said goodbye to return first, after before, congratulating those who had been nominated to be Senopati. While Widura, Dartama and Arimbi, re-joined the other soldiers, and it turns out the three of them entered a different group.
