Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Guest Ki Ageng Arisboyo

Ki Ageng Arisboyo could only sigh deeply. While Sekar Ayu Ningrum only fell silent while his eyes glazed with glass. His chest went up and down holding back the tears. Not a cry of fear. But because of holding back the anger that seemed ready to explode at any time.

It happened, when they arrived in Padangtritis and found the residence of Ki Ageng Arisboyo porak poranda. Not because of natural disasters or the actions of wild animals, but by the hands of irresponsible people who do not like them both.

That Ki Ageng Arisboyo infers from his damage and damaged and lost objects.

"Already duk, we also do not know who the destroyer and what its purpose. If they have any business with us, they will come again" Ki Ageng Arisboyo said.

"But now will still investigate by asking some villagers, cake," replied Sekar.

After taking care of all the damage and rearranging his grandfather's residence, Sekar Ayu Ningrum immediately disappeared from the house to go to the place of some of the residents he knew. They are villagers who already know well with Sekar Ayu Ningrum especially with his grandfather, Ki Ageng Arisboyo.

Those who were asked by Sekar Ayu Ningrum all replied, if they did not see or did not know the incident.

But they had seen a stranger come and asked the villagers, where Ki Ageng Arisboyo's house.

The total number of foreigners was five, all on horseback. One person dressed as an official. Four men dressed in black.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum immediately shared this information with Ki Ageng Arisboyo.

Hearing that, Ki ageng Arisboyo minded, remembering the incident when he was alone at home while Sekar Ayu Ningrum was traveling with Lintang Rahina.

On that day, Ki Ageng Arisboyo had the arrival of a guest, a young man and two people who were already in their seventies.

The young man was named Menak Manila, a descendant of the Majapahit breed that controlled the eastern tip of the island of Java Dwipa.

They came to the residence of Ki Ageng Arisboyo, aiming to ask Ki Ageng Arisboyo willing to help him unite the rest of the Majapahit soldiers, especially the senopati, who had been scattered due to the destruction of the Majapahit kingdom. At that time some of the rest of the Majapahit kingdom fled to the eastern tip of Java Dwipa Island.

Menak Manila knows, Ki Ageng Arisboyo is one of the famous Majapahit soldiers of greatness so it can be one of the respected Majapahit senopati.

In addition, Menak Manila also intends to tie Ki Ageng Arisboyo with family rope, which is to make his grandson Ki Ageng Arisboyo become his wife.

At that time Ki Ageng Arisboyo subtly and impliedly, refused the invitation to help them on the grounds that they no longer want to deal with the kingdom. And for the affairs of arranged marriage, Ki Ageng Arisboyo said that he could not answer because it was up to his grandson who would live it.

Menak Manila replied that she would wait for the reply of granddaughter Ki Ageng Arisboyo and would come again a few weeks later.

After a few weeks, they came back again, when five people came, namely Menak Manila escorted by four people dressed in black.

When the five of them came back they did not meet anyone, Ki Ageng Arisboyo's residence was empty.

Because it considers Ki Ageng ArIsboyo rejects his invitation and does not want to meet him, Menak Manila wrath and rampage to destroy all the contents of Ki Ageng Arisboyo's house.

Ki Ageng Arisboyo realized, they would not just give up. One day they will come back.

After telling everything, Ki Ageng Arisboyo told Sekar Ayu Ningrum to catch up with Lintang Rahina and take her to Parangtritis.

"Grandfather is not afraid. But if they come with their power, as long as we can't get help, at least you're safe" Ki Ageng Arisboyo said.

"Alright grandfather, Sekar will soon overtake Kakang Lintang and ask him to come here," replied Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

Meanwhile, Lintang Rahina and Ki Penahun, after parting ways with Sekar Ayu Ningrum and Ki Ageng Arisboyo, traveled a bit slowly. Because they are monitoring the situation around the region towards Merbabu.

When the two of them reached the edge of the forest on the southeastern part of the Merbabu slope, they were surprised by the arrival of Sekar Ayu Ningrum who caught up with them.

So they stopped at Paminggir Village, the last village before entering the Penahun forest, to rest before they entered the forest to Ki Penahun's residence.

On that occasion, Sekar Ayu Ningrum conveyed and told what became his grandfather's message.

Hearing that story, Ki Penahun was a little surprised. The concern of Ki Penahun was not Menak Manila, but the four people dressed in black and black accompanying him.

"If it is indeed who helped Menak Manila figure the figure, quite heavy problems faced by Ki Ageng Arisboyo and Sekar," said Ki Penahun in his heart.

For that Ki Penahun immediately invited Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum to enter the forest to get to his residence and could immediately prepare to go to Parangtritis.

In the morning, after the three of them arrived at Ki Penahun's residence yesterday, they prepared to leave for Parangtritis.

However, the three of them suddenly felt an enormous energy vibration that was heading towards their place.

A while later, from the sky to the east, a body quickly shot out. Ki Penahun and Lintang Ragina were surprised when they felt and recognized this energy.

A moment later, in front of them landed an old man who laughingly said, "He he he he he .. This old bone was still able to support this body."

"Teacher, why does the teacher go to the place where Eyang san does not rest first ?" tanya Lintang Rahina who worried about the state of Ki Pradah her teacher who followed to Merbabu.

"He he he he .. ngger Latitude, does it still require a long rest after you heal and get energy from you ?" ki Pradah replied, "Try you to ask your eyes !"

Ki Penahun just smiled and invited Ki Pradah to sit in the living room.

Indeed, according to the nature of the energy of the 'Nafas Raja' technique, one of which heals, if the Latitude Rahina energy is transferred to another person, the person who receives it can experience an increase in energy levels. This was because the energy obtained from the 'Nafas Raja' technique was very pure and very high in level.

As soon as Ki Pradah sat in front of Ki Penahun, Ki Pradah immediately took a serious attitude.

"Ki Penahun, while we are here, we all go to Merapi. We'll bury the demon's soul thread into Merapi crater !" said Ki Pradah who managed to make Ki Penahun surprised.
