Story of Maung Kulon

The Greatest Secret of Cakra Buana

Cakra Buana's face changed instantly. His chest was pounding, his heart as if saying that the secret was bad. But I don't know, he wasn't sure about his heart either.

Cakra Buana still did not answer. His throat was dry, and he immediately swallowed the saliva. After feeling able to talk, then Cakra Buana immediately answered the words ki Puppet.

"Please eyang. I am ready to listen to whatever it is" said Cakra Buana trying to steady his heart.

"alright. My grandson's chakra, did your teacher Resi Patok Pati ever tell you about who your parents were?"

"Eyang, when I was fifteen,"

"What did he say?"

"The eyes of Resi, my parents were a pair of warriors. They fell in the battle for the kingdom,"

"Hemmm... do you believe that your parents were a pair of warriors?"

"Of course I believe in the eye. What do you want to talk about?"

"Actually your parents are not a pair of warriors can Cakra,"

"I-I mean eyang?"

"Yahhh. I mean your parents were not a pair of warriors like most, but they were a pair of warriors who were very respected throughout the land of Pasundan. Because actually your parents were .. a pair of kings and queens in the heyday of the Kawasenan kingdom first,"

"Cnh …"

The heart of Cakra Buana is about to be dislodged. Cold sweat began to wash all over his body. So ... all this time? He's been lied to by Eyang Resi Patok Pati? So actually he is not the son of a pair of ordinary warriors, but a pair of warriors who later became kings and queens throughout the land of Pasundan? Mean .... he .. a prince? Questions arise in Cakra Buana.

Although this news was indeed good news, but still he was shocked as well. Very surprised. Then what's the purpose of covering up who her real parents are?

"A-are you not joking?" ask Cakra Buana in doubt.

"Did you see a sign that I was joking from my face? Try to remove the God's Heirloom Sword," said Ki Wayang told Cakra Buana to give the God's Heirloom Sword to him.

"I don't fully understand yet. Please tell me who my parents really are. Where does it mean to be king? College or where? Then why did Eyang Resi Patok Pati lie to me all this time? And is it true that my mother's father died in battle?" Cakra Buana immediately threw the question so much that it made ki Puppet a little confused for a while.

Ki Wayang Rupa Sukma Saketi sighed for a while. It seems he was taking a long story to tell a long story related to the parents of Cakra Buana.

"Cakra, listen to me carefully. Both of your parents were a pair of warriors. But as I said earlier, they are not ordinary warriors. Rather as a pair of kings and queens who once occupied the kingdom of Kawasenan. At that time the kingdom of Kawasenan was safe, because the leader was a former pair of warriors, so many people were reluctant and very respectful to the leader of the kingdom of Kawasenan, your father or also your mother. When in the leadership of your parents, Pasundan is famous for a fertile and prosperous country."

"But after nearly thirty years of rule, suddenly the peace was disturbed by a younger brother and sister of your own father, Prabu Geusan Katapang. He was secretly planning a rebellion against your parents' government. As always, if the leader is fair there will be many who are not happy. In this case it is those who have allied themselves with the devil. Including maybe your father's brother."

"Short story, there was a "brother" war. Your father led the royal palace army as well as your mother. Plus other warriors. While Giusan Katapang himself led the rebel forces. The war that was to be won by the kingdom immediately turned around after realizing that the rebels turned out to have other troops who were warriors from other regions. The fight almost went on for one day and one night until finally your parents died in the hands of Geusan Katapang himself."

"When it happened, you were only three years old at most Cakra. You were entrusted by your mother to Resi Patok Pati on condition that the receipt does not tell you who your parents are if it is not time. Your mother also provided this God's Heirloom Sword. As long as you know, this God's Heirloom Sword is the epitome of royal glory. Any kingdom if it holds this heirloom, then that kingdom will be victorious. That's why many are eyeing this heirloom sword, even the God's Heirloom Sword once rattled the martial world."

"Well, after the civil war was over, Kawasan kingdom was finally taken over by Geusan Katapang. But when he took the lead, things were very different from when he was led by your father. Geusan Katapang led as he pleased. The people were burdened with great tributes, the work every day was only to play with young concubines. Drunk, and other frolicking. And that nature is not only found in Geusan Katapang alone, but to his family as well. As a result the people became displaced and crimes began to occur everywhere. From then on Pasundan is now seen as one eye by other kingdoms, even as you know, Pasundan has been divided."

"Therefore all the warriors who survived after the civil war, hoping one day that the land of Pasundan will be reunited. My hope and Resi Patok Pati are the same. And I think you're the only one who can make this dream come true. You're only Cakra. You are a prince, a prince. Fight for justice."

"For you to know, Geusan Katapang himself is the father of Ajiraga Wijaya Kusuma. It means he's the son of the killer of both your parents. It is on this basis that Ajiraga persuaded his teacher, Eyang Resi Patok Pati to stay in the palace on the grounds of being an advisor. He was slowly being poisoned."

Ki Wayang Rupa Sukma Saketi stopped telling stories, the old grandfather noticed the face of Cakra Buana who was always changing. As of now, his face was already flushed red, even his eyes were like lit up.

Indeed Cakra Buana felt something extraordinary once. His chest was turbulent, pounding hard like the roar of waves pounding the rock. His breath rose and fell rapidly, his eyes flashed and his teeth cluttered.

"Eyang, if all that the teacher says is true, then I swear, in the name of heaven and earth, that, I will try to realize the dream of the teacher and others to reunite the land of Pasundan. I will fight to the point of blood. I swear ..." Cakra Buana shouted even to the point that the cave trembled for a moment.

"That's what you're supposed to do, granddaughter. Now you rest, prepare yourself for the journey tomorrow morning" said Ki Wayang told Cakra Buana to go to sleep immediately.

"Good eye. I listened to the teacher's orders."

The Cakra Buana passed. I don't know what he's feeling right now, all the flavors are mixed into one. An overabundance of sadness, pride, and anger.
