Raden Ayu Sekar Pembayun; Never Stopped

R.L.A. Bemayun

It was still morning, in the Mataram captain, there were some young girls running around and around chasing butterflies in the park, their laughter was so cheerful.

Meanwhile, in addition to a large garden and full of flowers there is a pendopo. The teak pendopo was not too broad, but it was quite relieved to be occupied by several people. Seemed some teenage girls playing dakon accompanied by some mbok emban.

On the right side of the pendopo, some teenage girls who are older, are fiddling. Slowly but surely their hands painted a pattern of beautiful floral patterns on the white cloth with the twig occasionally blown off the tip.

"How is this pattern Yunda?" ask one of the teenage girls to the pretty girl next to him.

"That's pretty dinda, the queen's mother will love it" replied the older girl.

"Thank you yunda, then what do you draw on the yunda cloth?"

"Yunda is learning to paint the pattern of rice flowers and cotton dinda, it symbolizes the welfare of Mataram, yunda will give to the senopati after this batik cloth is finished" replied the girl called Yunda, who was called Yunda, none other than R.A Sekar Pembayun, the eldest daughter of Panembahan Senopati

"Waah.romo will definitely be pleased with Yunda"

"Hopefully dinda, oh yeah after this Yunda will practice dancing, will dinda follow Yunda?" ask Sekar Pembayun then on his dinda

"With pleasure yunda, but.can we have breakfast first yunda"

"Oh yes, of course, you also forget, let's dinda we have breakfast first" asked Sekar Pembayun who called the baby.

"Mbok..mbok..we want breakfast first, after that we will practice beksan (dance), so batiknya until here first yes mbok, we will continue tomorrow" Sekar Pembayun said to his nanny.

"Sign meggih ndoro putri, monggo, please mbok will prepare his breakfast" replied mbok emban while bowing respectfully.

"Sri, please clean up the batik equipment belonging to this princess" the order mbok emban to one of the maids who accompanied them.

Then the princess stepped gracefully through the flower garden towards a small pendopo on the south side of the keputren, pendopo shaped like a stage hut was often used by the princess for breakfast, while looking at the beautiful scenery in the spacious and beautiful caputren.

"Sri, I'll comb the princess's hair first, you and your friends prepare breakfast for ndoro putri" mbok then approached Sekar Pembayun and began combing his hair the princess who had become a beautiful teenage girl.

"Bok, I don't really like to practice dancing, I prefer to practice archery and canoragan science, but the queen's mother always forced me"

"nggih ndoro putri, but ndoro has practiced archery and pencak silat yesterday, and there have been many advances in ndoro putri" replied mbok emban who has been nurturing and accompanying the princess since birth

"Yes mbok, mbok right, but I want to go deeper into the science of kanuragan and learn nyantri on a great kyai teacher" replied the princess.

"Daughter Ndoro, will Kanjeng Senopati allow that? ndoro is a princess" replied mbok emban

"Entah mbok, but usually, Senopati romo always obeyed my wishes, even he allowed me to learn the science of canuragan from Eyang Panjawi first" replied Pembayun's daughter.

"Ndoro Ayu, for a princess, mbok think ndoro putri kanuragan science is enough. Later if ndoro princess married, surely husband ndoro princess who will protect ndoro princess. He must be a great prince, sakti mandraguna like ndoro Senopati "said the mbok emban while combing the beautiful hair of the princess.

When the red princess's face blushed, only this time since she was a teenager, someone talked about a man with her.

"Ah..mbok could be, why talk about it with me to mbok..."

"Hm..ndoro putri bashim ya..tuh.mbok see cheeks ndoro so red so" mbok gban uncovers a little hair that little left on his bends bendoro it.

"Mboookk..had already been..don't talk it mbok, and.after all, I will definitely test the science of kanuragan anyone young man who will propose to me" Sekar Pembayun stood up from his seat, with hair that has been neatly carried. He took a red rose and tucked it in his beautiful bun.

Shortly afterwards, several maids walked over, carrying trays of trays filled with food, drinks and fruit. They also served it to the princess and her brother, their daughters and cousins, who are still a Mataram breed.

Meanwhile in the pasewang ward , Panembahan Senopati sat accompanied by Ki Juru Mertani and some senopati who were facing without being officially called by Senopati.

"Sit Kakang Jaya Supanta"

"There's a need for what you're facing me Kakang" Panembahan Senopati opened the conversation.

"Sorry Kanjeng Panembahan, today I want to report on developments in Mataram and surrounding areas" replied senopati Jaya Supanta.

"Panembahan"Panembahan then gave senopati Jaya Supanta time to start telling stories.

"Begini Kanjeng, I have been several days and some have been combing the Mataram area, up to the border of Mangir, many residents from other areas of the former kingdom of Wilwatikta, which was hit by a dispute, said the statement, flocked to settle in Mangir. And I also saw, Mangir started to form a war force, then practice canuragan science, although their numbers are not as many as our soldiers Kanjeng, but we must be vigilant Kanjeng" senopati Jaya Supanta momentarily stopped.

"Thank you brother, then, what news do you think yanh kai got?" sela Panembahan Senopati

"Hhh.and I also saw, many hordes begal on the border of Mangir and Mataram, and the most feared because often make fret is the horde of Many Somba." continued senopati Jaya Supanta

"Who are the others" Panembahan Senopati seemed to nod his head.

"True Kanjeng, I also know that there was an intruder who attacked Ndalem Mangiran, and tried to hurt Bagus Wonoboyo"

"What?? You're not wrong brother? Who are those who dare to infiltrate there?Then how did it end, did Ki Ageng Mangir know about it?" Senopati was stunned from her sitting.

"We do not know kakang, for sure, they were reportedly beaten by Bagus Wonoboyo"

"Hmmm..." Panembahan Senopati crossed his arms and looked far ahead, as if he wanted to penetrate into Ndalem Mangiran

"Ngger, Senopati Ing Alogo, what are your next plans Ngger" Ki Juru Mertani who had just been silent, finally spoke up.

"Don't be rash, that's my message, we have to arrange the best way for this"

"You are right Uncle, I will be very careful, because the promise of Father Pemanahan on the father of Sultan Pajang must be fulfilled, maintaining the sovereignty of Mataram, including with Mangir in it" Panembahan Senopati churned in his stern tone.

Meanwhile, Ki Juru Mertani smiled meaningfully
