Story of Maung Kulon
The Tatar State of Pasundan



It's already night time. The sounds of owls and crickets echoed through the forest. The moon shines brightly radiating all its light to the earth. The stars are scattered over the horizon.


As usual, after a day of Cakra Buana practice, then the night he will definitely be given some talk about life by ki Wayang.


As long as ki Wayang Rupa Sukma Saketi gives a message, then Cakra Buana will not talk. He was silent a thousand languages until the old man finished speaking.


When you are done, Cakra Buana will talk again. But Cakra Buana has not yet had time to raise his voice, ki Puppet has cut it back.


"My grandson Cakra Buana, the awaited time has come. Tomorrow you must go down the mountain. You have to practice what you get while here," Ki Puppet said seriously.


"Ah .. ta-but eyang guru. I've only been studying for you for two years. After all, if I go down the mountain, it means that there is no one here to accompany you anymore. No one makes black coffee and boiled cassava anymore" said Cakra Buana a little hesitant.


"You mustn't be my grandson's fool. What's the point of you studying for years and torturing yourself for years anyway, but you don't practice what you get? Remember my grandson, good science is a science that is beneficial to others. If you can't apply that knowledge to others, then don't ever mention yourself as great. One of the great people is he who practices his knowledge," said ki Wayang gave an explanation to Cakra Buana, he stopped for a while.


Next, "Remember, what's your purpose here for? I'm used to living alone. So don't you think about me, make everyone's dreams come true. Now you're in dire need,"


Hearing all the words of his teacher, again Cakra Buana could not answer at all. His teacher was right, he had to realize the dream of warriors with knight spirit to unite the tatars of Pasundan.


"Everything you say is true. Apologize for my mistake, eyed" said Cakra Buana while worshipping.


"Nothing my granddaughter should forgive,"


"Cakra Buana is my disciple, I want to talk to you about the situation out there right now. Besides, I also want to talk about something that is very important to yourself. Maybe even your biggest secret, I hope you are ready to listen to it" said Ki Wayang Rupa Sukma Saketi.


Somehow the heart of Cakra Buana suddenly racing quickly and not careless. But he hurriedly covered up the taste.


"Please eyang. I'll always listen to what Eyang will say,"


"Good grandson. Look, as long as you've been here in this wilderness for about two years, there's been a lot of changes going on in the joints of Pasundan's tatar life, especially those who are under the leadership of King Ajiraga Wijaya Kusama. The power-holding officials are getting despotic, they forget about the people. They laughed together over the cries of their people. The people have gone unnoticed, the villages and cities that once advanced, are now falling. Many people died of starvation, the people were very worried. Especially the ones who are really people down. Only those who force themselves look okay. And behind it all, many living suffering are suffering,"


"King Prabu Ajiraga Wijaya Kusuma was despotic. The king had no thought at all of how his own officials worked. He had not thought about it at all. The important thing is that he is happy, the problem of the miserable people of stupidity. King Ajiraga was happy over the suffering of his own people. This kind of situation is used by demons who disguise humans. They commit robbery, murder, kidnapping, even rape. When the people have been squeezed economically because of the burden given by the government, at that time the people must survive the threat of people who are not humane. You can imagine how grievous the fate of our people today is Cakra,"


Cakra Buana clenched his hands hard, even his veins to look like they were going out. His teeth are clucking. From the look of his eyes, it was clear that he was currently in a great rage.


Especially when he heard the name of King Ajiraga Wujaya Kusuma mentioned. Back to how his teacher used to be, Eyang Resi Patok Pati told him about what the king had done to him. One day I will kill you savage king, Inner Cakra Buana.


"But eyang, is there really no straight swordsman who wants to help and relieve the suffering of all people?" cakra Buana asked, revealing a face of confusion.


"There's my granddaughter, there's. Even many. But remember, the number of enemies is more than the number of warriors who help. In addition, their devotion is also no less great than straight warriors. This alone has become evidence why increasingly rare straight warriors who go there. They are not stupid either. Later you who have reached this level too, will experience difficulties in facing opponents. Well, if you who have reached the high stage there is still a possibility of being overwhelmed, then what about those who still have low intelligence?"


Cakra Buana pensive for a moment. Now he just realized everything. It is usually like that, evil is always more and more powerful than good.


"Ah .. I understand eye, I understand now," said Cakra Buana.


"It's good that you understand. Then you know what to do Cakra. But before I get there, there's one more thing I want to tell you, as I said before, maybe this is your biggest secret" said Ki Wayang with a serious facial expression.
