NOT KEN AROK

Wounded

At first I was hesitant when Intan invited me to leave Kyai Sholeh's house, because after all I have great respect for him who has taught me many things, ranging from religious knowledge and also taught me how the meaning of life.

But because I was blinded by love, I finally accepted Intan's offer. We left the house at one o'clock in the afternoon after the dhuhur prayer, which Kyai Sholeh was still in the rice fields. Intan took me to Surabaya to his brother's house, but our trip was not as smooth as we had imagined.

Ki Lurah turned out to have a spy who watched his future wife, so he knew I took Intan to Surabaya. The man secretly told someone to follow me.

They confronted us while waiting for the inter-provincial book at Arjosari terminal.

I tried to fight all Ki Lurah's men who tried to bring Intan home. But Ki Lurah cheated on him using drugs to beat me. After I was drugged I was beaten to a pulp and thrown into the abyss of Lali Jiwo forest.

I guess I'm dead because I can't feel anything anymore my body is battered, my bones are crushed. When I realized I was in the cave, a beautiful woman helped me.

"You're already aware of Kanda" said the woman approaching me

"You're Ken Umang?" ask me curious

"True Kanda, your tumben inget me," replied Umang

"Yes, maybe because my head was beaten by criminals so I suddenly became a pinter," I replied making Umang laugh to hear it

"You are now humorous Kanda, in contrast to the old Arok, who was always firm and full of charisma" said Umang

"Sorry Umang, I need to reiterate to you, if I am Gilang not Ken Arok. We are two different personalities everything is both from principle and character, maybe our faces are the same but our hearts are different," I tried to explain everything to Umang to make him realize I'm not Ken Arok her husband

"But you are the reincarnation of Kanda Prabu, and I purposely came to see you through the dimension of time just to convey a message to you so that you do not make the same mistakes that Kanda Prabu did in the past, enough regrets that he felt and also the seven derivatives that have endured his karma, you do not do the same thing Kanda," said Umang

"Let's just that I won't have a wife of two or polygamy like Ken Arok, how would you like to have a wife of two try if you just want to have a girlfriend already in the tikung Ki Lurah," I replied annoyed

"You know that Intan is Ken Dedes, so if you want to survive the curse of Keris Empu Gandring do not marry Intan" said Umang seriously

"Indeed I have what keris is until I get cursed, any more the curse will have been completed by the seventh descendant of Singosari kingdom, while I am also not their offspring, so impossible deh Umang. You are not most shameful, just calm I will not do stupid, anyways if Intan is my soul mate I will not marry another woman, because for me the marriage is only once in my life. And that love is not from the eyes down to the heart, but it is from the heart that will open the eyes to see it" I replied who inexplicably could get such words

"It turns out you've changed a lot, Kanda is wiser in love now, I'm relieved!" answer Umang while cleaning my wound

"You don't have to worry about me, I already know how you feel when you're Ken Arok's wife, and after seeing all that I came to understand what it would be like if we were to share something very precious and very dear to us, even though on the lips you said sincerely but not with your heart, your heart, because the heart cannot lie," I gently rubbed Umang's hair, made the girl tear up and spread her head on my shoulders.

When morning came, somehow I could feel the sadness of Intan who will be married by Ki Lurah in a week.

Her crying voice was always ringing in my ears and seemed to ask me to help her. For one day I can ignore it by doing activities that can restore my body condition, such as exercising, and also training again my martial arts.

But on the third day I could not bear to hear the sound of Intan's cry that made me unable to sleep because I kept thinking about his fate.

"Where are you going Kanda?" tanya Umang who intercepted me at the cave door.

"I have to help Intan, she needs my help now,"

"But you haven't recovered Kanda!" umang Exclamation

"I've been well Dinda, and maybe this is the right time for me to avenge Om Dhanu's death on Ki Lurah. He killed my adoptive father, and for that he must get the right reward for his actions. It seems that I am also ready to take on the old bandot," I replied slowly

"Alright Kanda I trust you, although you will kill Wait Ametung but I believe you will not marry Ken Dedes" Umang said with a smile on his face

"I leave first, you don't flirt bother people yes, diem-diem here just don't pray because later you can be razed satpol pp," my tease while chuckling.

I then left the cave to Kyai Sholeh's house.
