Nyai Ronggeng Tumbal
Jealous
The sun is very high. I don't know how many hours Nyai Sekar Asih slept. His body now feels refreshed, especially before going to bed he had a bath. He also stepped out of the room. His eyes were immediately treated by a variety of flower plants. Without him noticing from the end of the main house a middle-aged woman seemed to notice him.
Nyai Sekar Asih walked down the small hallway in front of his room. Right in front of the Anggabaya room, the face of the thin-lipped young man appeared. They unintentionally looked at each other and threw smiles at each other.
“Where to go?” Anggabaya dared to ask. Even though he was still embarrassed.
“Just take a walk to see the park.”
“Can I accompany?” said Anggabaya while walking to align himself with Sekar Asih.
A thin smile expands back from the tiny lips of the dancer. They both walked together. Heading to a gazebo in the middle of the park. The gurgling water that comes from the fountains of the fish pond adds to the beautiful atmosphere.
“Nyai like flowers?” anggabaya said, it feels like this time he is much braver than before.
“Of course like, I think all women love flowers.”
“I want to give those flowers to, Nyai, but unfortunately this garden is not mine.” Anggabaya scratching his head that does not itch.
“hahaha..” Nyai Sekar Asih was lying around hearing the statement of the young man in front of him.
“Why don't you make me a flower garden.”
“Nyai want me to make a flower garden?”
Sekar Asih kembai laughed while covering his mouth with a palm. The strange young man thought.
“If Nyai wants to I will make.” Anggabaya.
“No need to bother, Kangmas. Why also make a flower garden for me?”
Anggabaya back scratching his head that does not itch. I don't know why it feels so good to sit with Sekar Asih.
“Kangmas Anggabaya” shouted a girl from the end of the Main room.
Larasati. He stepped quickly near the gazebo where the Anggabaya sat with Sekar Asih.
“Romo, told me to call, Kangmas and mom for lunch,” Larasati said so gently.
“Oh then I get ready first, while seeing mom is awake or not. You better get ready too, Nyai.”
“Oh no, sorry this meal invitation is only for Kangmas and Darsih's mother only. For Nyai there will be a special place back there. Later I told the courtier to show it to Nyai.” Resolutely Larasati when seeing Anggabaya and Sekar Asih want to rise together.

In the dining room had gathered all the families of Ki Demang, when Anggabaya and Nyai Darsih entered the room. On the table has been arranged a variety of dishes that are so appetizing.
“Great mrs how are you?” nyai Darsih said she greeted a middle-aged woman who was none other than the mother of Demang Atmojo.
“You see for yourself, I look good no,” replied the middle-aged woman as she held her backrest on the chair.
Without waiting any longer they all stared at the lunch dish, interspersed with light talk. Mata Larasati occasionally glances at Anggabaya, the gelagatnya was captured by the grandmother. The middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful at her age who is no longer young is just breathing deeply into what her granddaughter is feeling.

The big party was finally held, which would last for three days and three nights. Especially when the evening is approaching more and more residents come just to watch the action of the famous ronggeng dancer. They were amazed especially the men were not only fascinated by the movements of dance but also the beauty of his face.
Anggabaya also watched the show, as a normal man he also admired the skill of the dancer ronggeng. But for some reason in his inner heart he does not like Nyai Sekar Asih dancing in front of many dozens of men, it feels like he wants to close all spies***** that look at the beauty of the body, it feels like he wants to close all spies, the face and dance of Nyai Sekar Asih. His heart was completely unwilling. During the show his heart was agitated. Although he was not so focused on watching the dance performance. He was bending his gaze more. Suddenly when his eyes were fixed on Nyai Sekar Asih who was dancing, he was reminded of his dream in the past. His body shape looks almost similar let alone the color of his clothes, the same. In the heart of Anggabaya wished that it was not a bad premonition and that his dream was just a sleeping flower.
“Kangmas, it seems not too like this show,” said Larasati who caught the attitude of the young man sitting next to her who had looked uncomfortable.
Anggabaya only smiled in response to Larasati's words. I don't know why he also doesn't feel comfortable this girl from yesterday always trying to get close to him. For her the girl was too aggressive.
“If, Kangmas want, let me accompany a walk in the park there much quieter.” Larasati stood up while pulling the hand of Anggabaya.
Anggabaya wanted to reject Larasati's invitation, for him to lie in bed more fun than a walk with this spoiled girl. But because the girl was pushy and the mother with her cue had Anggabaya obey Larasati's invitation finally the thin-floated young man was willing to accompany her for a walk along the park.
Larasati continued to tell stories, while Anggabaya still felt restless thinking of Nyai Sekar Asih. I really wanted him to stop the show. His heart was really upset. Seeing the young man beside him not responding to the speaker, Larasati's face immediately frowned. Though she always dressed pretty so that Anggabaya interested her. It turned out that this man continued to act cold and indifferent.
“It seems, Kangmas is thinking of something.” Said Larasati gently, although his heart was really irritated by the attitude of Anggabaya to him.
“Kangmas!” larasati's face grew increasingly irritated.
“Eh.., how is Baras?” said Anggabaya was shocked to hear the high tone of Larasati's voice. The look of the hue of the girl's face reddened holding back anger.
Larasati folded her hands in front of her chest, she she she a thousand languages. He hopes that by sulking like this Anggabaya will apologize and be nice to him.
“You don't want to talk to me anymore? Alright I'm already sleepy better I go into the room.” The anggabaya passed as soon as it left Larasati.
“You...!” larasati said. His hands clenched into the air and slammed both his feet into the ground alternately, while staring at the back of Anggabaya.He was never treated like this much less by a man.
Larasati ran into the main house after seeing Anggabaya enter his room.The man really made the atmosphere of his heart became not okay. Anggabaya should be his.
