Storms On Mount Ciremai

Saraswati and Wirayudha

Already two days Saraswati dwells in the cave of Dadap Forest which is at the end of Sampurna village, the escape he did with his son is not over. In the event of a robbery, he was taking plants for medicine across the river.

Not in the case of Wirayudha who is used to sleeping when the sun starts to dim, Wirayudha whines to come with him to take the plant. Both Saraswatipun's parents forced Wirayudha to come with him, at that time Saraswati forced her son to come along.

Upon returning from taking the medicinal plants, Saraswati saw the robbers coming, and raided her village, killing everyone who passed by and burning the houses, and looting the goods. Saraswati then immediately took her son to flee after hearing that his parents were also burned to death from the villagers who ran out of the peduhan. Both with his son he ran in an uncertain direction, separated from the villagers who helped save themselves. To this day, two days after the robbery, Saraswati has not dared to come out of the cave where she is hiding. Saraswati did not realize that Sampurna Village was very far from Jalaksana. Wirayudha began to cry again, realising Saraswati that during these two days, she only gave her son Wirayudha with a drink that was close in front of the cave.

In front of the cave is located, there is a river that flows fast. It looks like the river flow came from Grojokan Sewu spring which is at the foot of Ciremai. Saraswati is a simple village woman who does not understand any knowledge, which she knows as a woman her duty and responsibility is to be devoted to her husband and take care of her baby. He was edited by Wiratama seven years ago.

Today she felt a tightness, happiness was taken away from her.Tangisan Wirayudha has not stopped, Saraswati hand caressed her son's head to calm down. "Be quiet, son, I'll get you some food out, you'll have to wait here!", wirayudha's cry stopped, she grabbed her mother's neck, "I don't want you to leave here mom, I'm coming". Finally Saraswati brought her son out of the cave. Arriving in front of the cave, Saraswati was confused, what should she do?, all this time she had never learned about Olah judha from her husband, her knowledge other than cooking and washing, all this time, he could only concoct the medicines he sold to the residents in the market. His head turned to the left and to the right, occasionally staring into the grove of trees, in hopes of finding fruits that he could eat with his son. There he saw the hanging fruits, Mango, Rambutan, Ripe Papaya, then he tried to climb, with great difficulty he was finally able to take the fruits, and eat with his son Wirayudha.

Saraswati did not realize from the thickets of the trees, there was a pair of eyes that were staring at her. See everything he does. The figure of an old white-haired woman with a sinister face and eyes that shone sharp, stood bent with a wooden stick as a loader of her old body.
