Shivaratri: Destroy the Darkness

God's Grace

This time getting the Wijayakusuma Flower is not easy. Ganendra must fight Kanha. Ganendra was sure that he could defeat a young man who was no older than him. It will be easily defeated. But Ganendra was wrong. That young man is not just any young man.

The whole universe surrounds it. All are subject to his power. The youth that Ganendra fought against was the Almighty, the God of the Balance of Nature. He is the God Padmanaba or in the world Ganendra comes from known as Lord Vishnu.

Ganendra did not know who he was fighting. But for the sake of saving Princess Nalini, she would do anything. Not just gonna give up. His resolve is round. Any obstacle will be faced.

Ganendra stood up. Using the remaining energy.

“Hyaaa!!” loud shouting.

Kanha who was walking away from Ganendra immediately turned her head. He gasped and did not expect. The condition of Ganendra's body that has been injured. Still standing up. Now it's crashing towards Kanha.

Ganendra continued forward directing his punch. Kanha prepared to use one of her hands.

“Hyaa!!”

Kanha's hand tried to resist the attack. But the punch that Ganendra directed suddenly changed direction. Ganendra's left hand instead of hitting. But instead take the Kanha flute. It quickly rolled to the other side.

Kanha looks confused. What Ganendra did. Suddenly Ganendra's left hand was raised upward while tightly grasping Kanha's flute.

“I took it!” ganendra said with a smile.

“Why did you take my serule?” kanha asked in surprise.

Despite the difficulty of standing up and suffering injuries all over his body. Ganendra tried to get up while throwing a smile.

“I'm sure your flute is a precious object. You always carry and play it, don't you?” ganendra.

“Lantas?” ask Kanha.

“Let's do an exchange.” replied Ganendra.

“Exchange?”

Ganendra nodded, “ya, we exchange. You give me the Wijayakusuma Flower and I will return your precious flute.

“Why can you conclude that flutes are valuable? Just because I play it often?” ask Kanha.

Ganendra shook his head.

“Not only because you keep bringing it or playing it. But every note you play through this flute. Make the cows feel happy while eating grass. Make the mountains feel more peaceful. Evidently when you play the tree branch flute also swayed. The wind blows slowly. Soothes nature under the sky.”

“Is this the first time you noticed it?” ask Kanha again.

“This is not the first time. At the beginning of our meeting. I've seen and observed it.”

A second later, a smile was seen from Kanha's face. Then shortly afterwards, the form of Kanha as a young cowherd was enveloped in a blinding light. For a while, he turned into a god.

Parama and Sadana who saw the true form of the God immediately worshiped.

“I admit you are indeed amazing Ganendra Abhirawa.” said the God. Her voice was soft and soothing.

Ganendra gasped at how the person before him could know his full name.

“No need to be surprised because I can see everything. I am the God Padmanaba, the god of the balance of nature. In your world, I am known as Lord Vishnu.”

Hear that. Ganendra is no stranger. In his world there were some beliefs and beliefs. One of them is about Lord Vishnu. It was only fitting that he saw the universe surrounding Kanha which was the incarnation of the God. Although Ganendra did not believe. But after seeing it straight away, Ganendra immediately prostrated.

“Sorry for my impoliteness.” said Ganendra apologizing sincerely.

This is the first time he's apologized to someone. The god Padmanaba smiled.

“You have potential beyond what you imagined. Keep practicing to be a true Saka Knight. Swastamita needs someone who is unyielding like you. Up ahead, there are still many steep roads that you have to go through. Then I give you a gift.” said Dewa Padmanaba.

His hand was raised. A white light came out of the hand of the God. Changing the form of flute that Ganendra holds into a spear. Ganendra's eyes were immediately shocked.

“I .. Dewa Padmanaba, acknowledges the determination and unyielding soul of a Ganendra. So I gave him a spear called the Dragon Spear Baruna.”

“Thanks a lot.” says Ganendra.

Parama and Sadana also had fun. Seeing Ganendra get a gift from the Maha Sakti.

“Thanks to your determination to help the Princess. Then I give you the Wijayakusuma Flower.” said Dewa Padmanaba.

No doubt how happy Ganendra received the gift given by God.

“Thousands of thanks I say to you The Maha Sakti.” said Ganendra while clenching his hands in the chest. Parama and Sadana.

The god Padmanaba smiled and then disappeared back to Kahyangan. Leaving behind the happiness that had arisen in Ganendra's heart. The three men rushed back to Medangwantu.

*In Medangwantu Village*…

Ganendra immediately handed the Wijayakusuma Flower to Buyut Bawada. Ki Buyut is silent. He asked the gods to give him his gift. Returns the life of Princess Nalini.

The white Wijayakusuma flower is placed on the Princess' chest. A white light enveloped Princess Nalini. Returns the Princess' life to her body. The god apparently blessed Princess Nalini to come back to life.

Give him a chance to fight alongside Knight Saka. Slowly, Princess Nalini's eyes blinked. Ganendra who saw Princess Nalini react immediately clasped her hand.

“Nalini….Nalini..you heard my voice? Open your eyes.” said Ganendra slowly. His face looks cheerful.

Slowly but surely. Princess Nalini's eyes were wide open. He looks around. Then looked at Ganendra who was clasping his hands tightly. Looked at him intensely.

“Kyaaa!!! You perverted man!”

Plaque!

Strangled Princess Nalini while slapping Ganendra's cheek hard.

“Hei! Basic Princess Congkak!” yelled Ganendra furiously.

Everyone's got Ganendra. Don't be rude to Princess Nalini.

“Huaaa….Gusti Putri, you are finally back to life.” said Balin crying touched.

Princess Nalini threw a big smile.

“Thanks everyone.”

Everyone was relieved to hear that the Princess was fine now. They laughed breaking the silence of the night. Amongst everyone's laughter, Princess Nalini smiled as she looked at Ganendra.

“Thanks Mesum Man.” says The Princess.

Ganendra did not get angry and threw a smile back.

Behind the trees, which is not far from the house of Buyut Wengkeng. Kalimakara heard the laughter of Ganendra and his friends. His eyes staring implied something.

“I did not expect, The God gave Ganendra a gift. Things that were not in my plan. But it's good, the faster it goes up. The sooner Tirta Amerta is within my grasp. Hurry up to the higher levels of Ganendra Abhirawa. I look forward to those moments arriving.”

“Bwahahaha!!!”

Kalimakara's laughter made some forest animals frightened. Birds fly and make other animals run away.

What is the story of Ganendra's next journey? Will the path he goes on to become a true Knight of Saka be easy? Expect continuation. Although no one reads.
