Princess Rajapatni

Epilogues

End of Dreams, The Beginning of Hope

I looked at the young man in front of me. Mada du-duk while holding back feeling upset. I'm not telling you part of Mada's birth. But some of my stories of success made him shed tears.

Mada even sympathized with Ra Kuti, a ballerina-not whom he used to hate.

Ra Kuti is one of the Dharmaputra that du-lu dearest Kanda Kertarajasa. I told Mada how the end of life of the founders of Majapahit. Nothing ends well.

After Kanda Prabu died, Jayanagara was officially crowned king. However, the second king of Majapahit is not a good king. Jayanagara tyres many innocent victims. The Dharmaputra are among them.

All I know is that Jayanagara's reign saw periods of turmoil and rebellion.

The rebellion I saw was the rebellion of Uncle Sora. At that time there was a demand from Mahisa Taruna—putra Uncle Mahisa Anabrang. The case of Rangga-lawe was reopened. It is assumed that Uncle Sora killed Uncle Mahisa Anabrang. The motive is because Uncle Sora did not accept Uncle Mahisa Anabrang to kill his nephew (Ranggalawe).

Without thinking, Jayanagara immediately greeted Uncle Sora.

At Halayudha's suggestion, Jayanagara immediately intended to impose the death penalty. Still loyal ministers strongly opposed the decision. Jayanagara's end-of-its-kind can only give the banishment to the Tulem-bang.

No less resourceful, Halayudha then came to ru-mah Uncle Sora. He reported that Jayanagara expelled Uncle Sora from Majapahit. In fact, expelling Uncle Sora was the same as telling him to die.

The Sora cow then plans to face Jaya-nagara. But Halayudha is provoking Uncle Nambi. Blowing hot issues is still a powerful weapon. Uncle Nambi was eaten by Halayudha. Halayudha tells Uncle Nambi that Uncle Sora will make a mess. With various spices, he added that Uncle Sora was brash. It has been forgiven, still not satisfied with Jayanagara's decision.

Uncle Nambi then confronted Uncle Sora in the palace courtyard. They fought great. In the end, Uncle Sora was killed.

Uncle Nambi himself has bad luck that sa-ma. Halayudha uses Uncle Nambi's mourning leave. Halayudha distorts the facts before Ja-yanagara. Halayudha argued so strongly that Jayanagara believed that Uncle Nambi was preparing a rebellion in Lama-jang.

I'm not so close to the Dharmaputras. Nevertheless, my conscience is disturbed. The heroes just fell. Their reputation is ruined by issues and slander. There is no investigation, let alone a trial.

Among the Dharmaputras, only Ra Kuti came to see me. Honestly, Ra Kuti was blinding his mean friend. Ra Kuti intends to end the Jayanagara era. He wanted to overthrow power until Jayanagara could no longer struggle.

Ra Kuti is putting me in a big dilemma. On one hand, I know my own daughters are in danger. Jayana-because at that time was about to secure the position by removing her own sisters.

“All humans do wrong, Mada.” I'm legitimate while remembering that event. “If only I sang-gup held Ra Kuti, maybe I could prevent one war. But just like you. I'm powerless. I am only one among the sea of humans who is trying to play my role in the destiny. To this day, I am still looking for that answer. Why am I alive? What am I living for? All these questions are still in my mind.”

The young man shrank in tears. The elephant's birthmark is now increasingly prominent among its muscles.

“You are right, Gusti Rajapatni.”

“However, the penalty of cineleng-neleng36 was too light for Mahapati Halayudha.”

“Mada, Mada.” I nodded slowly. “This world is not driven by hatred or vengeance.”

“Everything in form is emptiness. Ke-kosongan create the form.” Mada repeats the Heart Sutra that I often recited when she started entering Majapahit.

“Gusti Rajapatni has the fortune of being able to live in search of Prajna Paramitha.” His smile began to rise. “I pray, may Gusti Rajapatni find that answer.”

“Then, do you feel yourself lucky, Mada?” That big smile was visible on his face. “Hohoho! Ba-ba

how could I not be lucky? I am Ga-jah Mada, son of Lord Brahma! I stand as Patih Daha. I've got a mentor as good as you. Are those not the most amazing things a human being can have?”

I showed off a smile.

“Thank you for everything, Gusti Rajapatni. Even though you have stripped off the luxury of the palace. In my heart, forever you are the first lady. I'll keep the promise to continue your struggle. Protecting Ma-sew. Protecting Princess Dyah Guitarja and Princess Dyah Wi-Yat.”

“I have to thank you for that.”

36 The death penalty is chopped up like a wild boar.

The young man lowered his head, rubbing his head in embarrassment. Unknowingly, we've been telling stories all night. When the nuns opened the window, I realized, it was dawn.

“I've inconvenienced Gusti Rajapatni.” Mada said with a funny tone. “I say goodbye first. Sorry to interrupt your break time.”

I drove the young man to the front door. I looked at his back which shrank and disappeared. I was responding to his presence that I thought would be a big name in history.

Gajah Mada's.

As her figure had disappeared, unknowingly, I saw a grove of ratna flowers in the courtyard. A mango tree is bearing very heavy fruit. The shadow of a little girl had crossed there. The little girl who was peeking at a young boy from a distance.

Duhai Pangeran Pujaan, I can only pray, then miss you....

As fast as the mist swept away by the wind, the shadow of the little girl had now disappeared.

I smiled at the memories that Bali came. My view explores the sky. Bi-ru spray replaces yellow. My feelings were upset by the glittering light. The light was so warm. The light is brighter than ever before. The light that shaded the whole kingdom. The light that ends a long dream. The Light of Surya Majapahit.
