Story of Maung Kulon

Letting Go of Longing

The room was big and magnificent. It is very beautiful with bright red color. On the left right of the wall, there are some paintings that must be very expensive. The room was filled by the royal courtier.

Not only the retainers, even the top-class warriors were seen present there. They were sitting in rows talking. In front of him, there was a man and woman wearing luxurious clothes.

They wore crowns made of precious metal coated in gold. In the center was a red ruby stone about the size of a pinkie. The man looks very handsome and handsome with a rather high stout posture. His face was white with a soothing look. His eyebrows are rather thick describing courage. Prabu Katapangan Krishna, the king of the Kingdom of Tunggilis.

On the side, there was a very beautiful woman. Even her beauty could be aligned with Ling Zhi or even more. The woman had a pair of cleaver-shaped eyebrows. His eyes were sharp but calm. A smile is always on his lips. His right cheek dimples, if laughing always show his white teeth. His skin is yellow like Sundanese in general. But he has his own charm.

Anyone who sees it will never forget it. She is known as a good and strong woman. She is the queen of the Kingdom of Tunggilis, Queen Dewi Nila Ningrum.

They were talking to the warriors. There was also a son there who was about thirty years old. She's not married yet. His body was tall with a smile that never disappeared. At first glance, the beauty and good looks of his parents, absorb to the child. He was named Raden Kalachakra Mangkubumi.

A pair of Grandpa and Grandma Sakti had already arrived there. They immediately saluted everyone. Especially the king and queen.

"Greetings to the king and queen. We are sorry that I have disturbed you, but the arrival of the servant here is to inform you that the guest he has been waiting for has come," Grandpa Sakti said respectfully followed by the others.

The conversation stopped immediately. The mood was silent for a moment. Everyone looked at the guest intended by Grandfather Sakti. The other two are Cakra Buana and Ling Zhi.

"Is he uncle?" ask Prabu Katapangan.

"Really wrestling. He is Cakra Buana, the guest who has been waiting for this. He's a gusty nephew" he said as he continued to salute.

"Aihhh .. my nephew," said Prabu Katapangan.

He got off his throne and walked over to Cakra Buana.

"Wake up my son, how have you been?"

Prabu Katapangan holds the shoulder of Cakra Buana to make him stand. Then he hugged her very tightly. Unable to resist the longing, the king finally shed his tears. They hugged for quite a while.

"You're finally coming too. I've been waiting for you for a long time" said Prabu Katapangan as he let go of his embrace slowly.

"Forgive the servant who has made the gusti prabu wait," replied Cakra Buana.

"Aihh no need to wear any wrestling. You're my nephew, come with uncle. Everyone, please go first. We want to talk for a while" he told all the warriors.

"Gusti good. We are retreating" said the warriors simultaneously.

Prabu Katapangan and his family brought Pair of Grandpa and Grandmother Sakti, Cakra Buana and Ling Zhi to a special room. There's no one else but them.

Now all those people are sitting face to face in a room quite luxurious. The service is fully available. This room is usually reserved for royal meetings.

"Had wrestling. A while ago my teacher told me everything. That's why I came here in the hope of being well received" said Cakra Buana.

"Hushh what are you talking about. Of course I accept you well. You're my niece, my brother's son,"

"Huh? So ..., so ...," Cakra Buana could not continue his words.

Too many new secrets are revealed. He thought that the big secret had been told all by Ki Wayang Rupa Sukma Saketi, it was not all. Cakra Buana immediately sculpted when he heard that Prabu Katapangan is the sister of his parents.

"really so. I'm the sister of your mother Cakra. The story is long, but I will explain the outline, just" said Prabu Katapangan and then began to tell everything.

As long as the king was telling the story, Cakra Buana was unable to say anything. Either the sadness or happiness he had to express at this moment. His head felt heavy, it turned out that his identity was not as simple as he thought.

Cakra Buana just know now that it turns out, his own ancestors are important people for Pasundan.

At this time, family relationships are indeed common to be covered for some time. Especially those who have a role. Usually, the person in question deliberately hides the pedigree to save the next generation. As happened to Cakra Buana now. Because if not, then he could have been killed long ago.

"Gusty,"

"Don't call gusti. We're not in public. Call me uncle," said Prabu Katapangan cut quickly the words Cakra Buana.

"Alright, pa-paman. So, what should I do for now?"

"Of course take your right back my son. The Kawasenan Kingdom is your right. You have to take it back and unite Pasundan. I am ready to help you in your struggle. Even I waited for that time, you know, that I became the king I am now just following your parents' will. If you have succeeded in reclaiming your rights, then I am ready to merge into the Kawasenan Kingdom. You deserve to be a great king" he said.

"But, I haven't been able to anything uncle. Even my science is still low" said Cakra Buana.

"Don't put yourself down too much, son. I know everything. The Godly Sword is already in your hands. Waiting for the right time to move. Turn down all the knowledge you have. Here, you are free to do anything. As for the matter of when the start time is, let me arrange. As long as you're ready to take your rights,"

"Good uncle. I will obey all your orders. I'm ready to reclaim my right. Even with my life bet," he said with passionate excitement.

"Good, this is my nephew's name" said Prabu Katapangan while stroking his back.

Everyone kept talking about everything. Even when the pair of Grandparents and Grandmother Sakti resigned, Prabu Katapangan and the others were still talking there. They are letting go of a long-standing longing in the pendam.

Longing for loved ones is always present at any time. Sometimes, that longing gets more unbearable as time goes on. Missing cannot be prevented, nor can it be forced.

The one who is missing someone, he doesn't need fancy things. Just enough to sit together, miss it will soon be cured. And this is what Prabu Katapangan Kresna is now doing to Cakra Buana.
