Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

The Three Companions Plan

"One day, Paduka Prabu told me and sent a message to me," said Ki Ageng Arisboyo then told me, "Paduka Prabu Brawijaya, after abdicating the throne, after abdicating, to do a meditation to ask for guidance to the Almighty. In his meditation he found that the glory of the Majapahit Kingdom will fade and will be replaced by a new kingdom with a new order and a new basis of belief.

So with all his wisdom, Paduka Prabu Brawijaya decided to leave the palace and go to Mount Lawu, close to Yang Kukasa to moksa to nirvana.

Before going to Mount Lawu, he advised me to convey to all his descendants. To accept the destiny of the Almighty, accept and support the new kingdom. He also advised that all members of the palace family and all Majapahit knights should never think to force the establishment of the Majapahit Kingdom.

"As long as Ki Ageng is imprisoned in Parangtritis, has Ki Ageng been given any instructions ?" ask Ki Penahun again, "and what will Ki Ageng do ?"

"I once got the idea that the revelation of psychebon, who was elected king in the future, will not be far from Parangtritis," replied Ki Ageng Arisboyo, then I will still wait in Parangtritis. While waiting, I will convey the message of Prabu Prawijaya. And I will also try to prevent any attempt against his word."

Then replace Ki Penahun telling stories.

In the dalem family partran, Ki Penahun managed to save Lintang Rahina who was then a one-year-old baby. But not with his parents, who were killed in the ontran, who killed him and on whose orders.

Finally Ki Penahun with his wife who used to get the trust to teach literature to members of the royal family, brought little Lintang Rahina wandering while looking for the right place to stay.

Until the arrival of Ki Penahun in a dense forest on the back of Mount Merbabu, and finally Ki Penahun decided to settle on the edge of the forest.

"If Ki Pradah, of course there are also things to tell, Ki," asked Ki Penahun.

"I've met Ki Rekso. He's still like he used to be. Ambitious to restore the success of Majapahit," said Ki Pradah.

"Ohhh yes Ki Penahun," said Ki Pradah again, "you are lucky to have a student Lintang Rahina. I have something to ask you about that boy. The boy claimed to be your disciple and grandson."

"Hmmm....Ki Pradah," Ki Pahun asked with a smile, "what is Ki Pradah until now has not realized, who is Lintang Rahina ?"

"Is he the boy you mean ?" Ki Pradah asked.

"Yes Ki," Ki Penahun answered short and then said, "Lintang Rahina is the child I saved. He is the grandson of Kanjeng Ratu Dara Jingga. Both of his parents were killed when the ontran ontran fight for rights in the palace family after Paduka Prabu Brawijaya left the palace."

"The boy had studied the 'Ranting Garbage Collector' during a few days' stay with me" Ki Pradah said, "it's appropriate, when treating and training him, as well, I feel like there's something special about that kid."

"Ki Penahun," Ki Ageng Arisboyo opened his voice after just listening to it, "Young people who claimed to be named Lintang Rahina and claimed to be your grandchildren and students, also had time to practice with me. His body is special."

Ki Penahun who did not expect, his student Lintang Rahina who was wandering, met even had become a student of the two of them, surprised to mix happily.

"Is Ki Ageng really, Ki Pradah ?" ask Ki Penahun, "jagad Dewa Batara, this may indeed have been outlined by Yang Kuku."

"Ha ha.... The only child who owns the blood of the Majapahit breed, who is most entitled to the throne, turns out to be a disciple of the three of us," Ki Penahun said with a laugh.

"Alright, now what are our plans," asked Ki Ageng Arisboyo.

"We must prevent and stop Ki Rekso's plan to appoint a new king successor to Majapahit kingdom" said Ki Pradah.

"I'll find the latitude first. In addition to telling me the money I received, also telling me about our plan," Ki Penahun conveyed his plan.

"We immediately finish each other's affairs, after which we immediately meet again at Lawu," Ki Penahun said his plan, "how Ki Pradah ?"

"I agree. We meet again at my place," replied Ki Pradah, "if you can bring an old friend who is like us."

"It's better tomorrow morning we leave soon," said Ki Ageng Arisboyo, "so that we can meet at Lawu soon."

 

The next morning, Ki Pradah and Ki Ageng Arisboyo bid farewell to their respective residences.

Ki Penahun, plans to stay in his residence a few days first to wait for Lintang Rahina to come home. If in a few days Lintang Rahina does not come home, Ki Penahun will go looking while traveling to Lawu.

 

Ki Rekso and his two friends, Ki Pratanda and Ki Kawungka who suffered deep wounds when clashing with Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum who then continued to fight Ki Sardulo who helped Sekar Ayu Ningrum, who was also involved, return to Lawu Mountain to heal his wounds.

They plan to look for the existence of Ki Dipa and Ki Wangsa, two Majapahit senopati who are very powerful and very loyal to Prabu Brawijaya, until Prabu trip to the first place they both accompany him. To maintain the safety of Prabu Brawijaya in asceticism, they live in a nearby village

Until they arrived on the slopes of Mount Lawu. The three of them are looking for a village on the slopes of Mount Lawu. Because reportedly, Ki Dipa disguised himself as a village leader to hide his original identity that is a senopati Majapahit.

After asking some residents they met, Ki Rekso and his two friends believed that Ki Dipo was in the village they came to.

Ki Rekso and his two friends went straight to the village head's house.

They were in a house that was quite large but looked simple. Which is only inhabited by Ki Dipo and a husband and wife who became his assistant to take care of the house.

In front of the house, the three of them were greeted by an old man who still looked gallant.

Although a little surprised by the arrival of Ki Rekso and his two friends because it can be read by Ki Dipa the amount of energy that the three of them have, but Ki Dipa still pura do not know and ask.

"Kisanak" asked Ki Dipa, "who are you three ? And what is the need to come to this hamlet ?"

"Ki Dipo," replied Ki Rekso, "previously the three of us apologized for disturbing the peace of Ki Dipo. But I'm sure Ki Dipo knows that already. I'm Ki Rekso with Ki Kawungka and Ki Pratanda. And Ki Dipa is senopati who is very close to Prabu Brawijaya."

Ki Dipa was silent for a moment while looking at the faces of Ki Rekso and his two friends.

"We're talking inside" Ki Dipa said as he stepped into her living room.
