Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

The Sekar Ayu Ningrum

Slowly Lintang land Rahina drained her energy through her two palms attached to the back of Sekar Ayu Ningrum. The energy that came out from the two palms of Lintang Rahina slowly spread the land throughout Sekar Ayu Ningrum's body. Fulfill his entire bloodstream, breaking through and restoring the knot of the nerve node and the frozen blood vessels.

The body of Sekar Ayu Ningrum gradually warmed. His face was no longer pale. But his heartbeat was still very weak and his breathing was still very slow.

Then Lintang Rahina directed her energy into the deep wound on Sekar Ayu Ningrum's left chest.

When the breathing Sekar Ayu Ningrum already looks regular even though it has not been awakened, Lintang Rahina stops channeling her energy. Seen some sweat spots on the forehead of Lintang Rahina.

While waiting for the development of Sekar Ayu Ningrum's condition, Lintang Rahina rested while taking advantage of her time to recover her energy.

 

"The back of Sindunata, it seems that the two of them have known for a long time," she told her husband as they were some distance from Lintang Rahina.

"It seems so, yayi," replied Sindunata.

"And it seems like they are in love with each other, but whether there is anything, they don't know each other, either" said Puruhita again.

"Yayi Puruhita know where ?" ask Sindunata.

"I had a chance to meet the girl when it was my turn to guard. And the girl said something that confused me at the time" replied Puruhita.

"What did the girl say ?" ask Sindunata again.

"She said, thank you for accompanying and guarding Kakang Lintang," replied Puruhita.

"So far, where did yayi Puruhita know that they were in love with each other ?" Sindunata repeated his question.

"We are the same woman, brother. I can feel my fellow woman's feelings from the tone of speech and the language she uses when talking about men" she replied, "and I can read from the way men treat women, he has a feeling of love or not, it must be different."

"Do we need to help deliver it to her ?" sindunata asked as her chin moved towards Lintang Rahina.

"Maybe it will be better, brother," replied Puruhita.

Then Sindunata stood up from his seat and walked to where Lintang Rahina rested while meditating.

After Sindunata sat down beside Lintang Rahina, moments later Lintang Rahina woke up from her bed.

As soon as he saw Sindunata sitting next to him some distance away, Lintang Rahina hurriedly cupped both of her palms in front of her chest.

"Thank you, Sindunata's brother, and also to the Puluhita Mbakyu, has helped Sekar's sister" said Lintang Rahina.

"Actually, it wasn't us who helped him. But he is the one who has helped us and you, the Latitude" Sindunata replied.

"Why can it be said so ?" ask Lintang Rahina again.

"Lha yes. After you go to the top, your mother will be mobbed by two people. Suddenly he came and fought one of them. That way, both of us were saved from the danger of death from being attacked by the three of them" Sindunata explained.

"You should thank him, adi Lintang," continued Sindunata, "owh yes, it seems you have known him before."

"She is Sekar Ayu Ningrum, the granddaughter of one of my teachers, the elder brother," Lintang Rahina replied.

"Do you like each other ? If adi Lintang does like Sekar, just say it directly. In order not to cause much prejudice," Sindunata said as he stood up.

"Well, after she wakes up, tell her how you feel. Because he's been waiting for that word to come out of your mouth !" sengambung Sindunata who then stepped towards the Puruhita sitting.

Lintang Rahina was still about to answer, but her mouth only moved motionless, at a loss for what to say.

 

Sekar Ayu Ningrum tries to get up, but is prevented by Lintang Rahina. Since the energy of Sekar Ayu Ningrum was only a little, it could even be said to be almost depleted. So that if too much is used to move, it will endanger the body and soul of Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

Then Lintang Rahina asked Sekar Ayu Ningrum to tilt his body to the right, because Lintang Rahina would again channel her energy by sticking her palm on her left back.

"Later if Sekar's sister feels like vomiting, just vomit, do not need to be detained" said Lintang Rahina.

Then from his palm, came out an energy that was in the form of a golden yellow radiance. The beam seeped into Sekar Ayu Ningrum's back and then swiveled around in the wound area on Sekar Ayu Ningrum's left chest.

At first Sekar Ayu Ningrum felt pain in his wound. Then the pain turns warm and then hot.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum felt, his left chest like it was burning. Then followed by a feeling of unbearable nausea.

Finally Sekar Ayu Ni grum spewed a thick bluish-red blood several times.

After Sekar Ayu Ningrum already did not feel like vomiting, the heat in his left chest precisely in the wound that was hit by the fan handle gradually became warm.

Then the warmth becomes a soothing warm feeling and then spreads throughout the body.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum felt like his body was recovering as usual even he felt his energy like overflowing more than when before fighting.

Rahina's latitude pulled back little by little her energy until it ran out and then released her palm from Sekar Ayu Ningrum's left back.

Feeling better, Sekar Ayu Ningrum woke up and sat down in front of Lintang Rahina.

Then Lintang Rahina asked Sekar Ayu Ningrum to try to inhale as much breath as possible and tried to hold it in a few moments.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum already felt no pain in the wound on his left chest.

"Thank you Lintang, you have helped Sekar," said Sekar Ayu Ningrum slowly.

"It is precisely Kakang Lintang who thanks Sekar's sister. Because Sekar's sister has sacrificed herself for the safety of Lintang's leg," replied Lintang Rahina.

"Now Sekar's sister rest first, because tomorrow there will be Lintang kakang convey to Sekar's sister," said Lintang Rahina again.

The four of them finally got some rest. Lintang Rahina sat cross-legged meditating beside Sekar Ayu Ningrum who was half lying down.

---

Morning's approaching. Very cool mountain air like pampering lungs that never stop pulsing, with the air refreshing. Coupled with the smell of typical mountain grass makes the air very soothing.

On the flat ground on the back of Mount Mahameru, four people were seen packing up to continue the journey.

"At the Latitude, now what's your next plan ?" ask Sindunata.

"I'm going to the island at sunrise, brother. Looking for the highest place there. Hopefully the trident weapon business can be finished soon," replied Lintang Rahina.

"Then, we both accompanied the coastal wetan" Sindunata said.

"Thank you kakang and mbakyu, have accompanied and guarded us all this time" Lintang replied again.

Then Lintang Rahina approached Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

"Sekar's sister, will Sekar's sister accompany the kakang to the island sebrang ?" tanya Lintang Rahina, "after that, Kakang Lintang will take Sekar's sister home, because there is a question from Ki Ageng who has not answered."

Sekar Ayu Ningrum simply nodded with a feeling that was hard to describe.
