CHAPTER 59, PASSION IS GRAPPLING

Departure of units of soldiers patang tens and pitung tens took place secretly and alternately.

Their destination was Alas Wono Sreni located on the slopes of Mount Muria, not so far from the city of Jepara.

Upon arrival they set up tents in the middle of the forest as a place where they shelter and put some soldiers alternately stand guard over the trees within five hundreds of spears from their tents.

The rest of Danang also asked them to practice kanuragan. For the dozens of units led by Mappatoba, a large tall man who came from the island of Celebes, and for the unit count tens led by Mahesa Geni, a former robber from Alas Krabut, while he himself plans to infiltrate the city of Jepara to collect information.

“Kakang Mappatoba, please lead the batang tens unit to practice sharpening their canuragan, and I appointed Mahesa Geni's leg to lead the canuragan training for the tens unit. I will go investigate and collect information about the situation in Jepara.”ujar the young man.

“Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran, we will carry out the task according to orders from Gusti Pangeran.”ujar Mappatoba and Mahesa Geni.

Riding his horse, Danang darted quickly between the path of Alas Wono Sreni to Jepara alone. After some time of rice pressing he arrived in the city of Jepara which was very crowded because of the flow of trade.

Jepara city located on the north coast of Java is one of the ports in the crowded.

Seen the merchants back and forth in and out of the city of Jepara by bringing their merchandise to the duchy cities in Java and out of Java.

Danang tethered his horse to one of the inns that seemed quite crowded in the middle of Jepara, then went in and ordered food and a room for him to stay.

His ears are installed well to absorb the information that may be obtained from the discussions of traders and servants who are there.

The average information he absorbed from the discussion at the store was about the fall of Sekarjati village to the hands of Susuhunan Kabanaran team last week and the preparation of major Dedrich Van Osch to bring troops from Madura to strengthen Jepara in order to defend themselves from the possibility of attack Susuhunan Kabanaran troops next.

After finishing the meal he chose to walk towards the market located not far from the fortress that was the target of the next attack.

The market near the fort and the port was so crowded, that to walk even Danang had to coincide with traders and people passing by, and suddenly felt the dashing young man clashing with something.

“Aaauuww...Hey, where did kowe put your eyes?”a woman's voice rebuked him.

Danang turned his head and only realized that the voice came from a beautiful woman around twenty-three years old who was tall and pale white and blonde.

Some of the female bodyguards rushed to help the fallen woman and several other bodyguards surrounded and rebuked the young man, “Hey, rotten youth ! How dare you hurt Miss Van Osch, look for dead apparently you?”the black and curly-haired bodyguard.

“Aaah...many reasons you!”exclaimed the guard as his hand pulled out his sword.

“Wait ! Stop ! The young man is innocent..Did you so easily pull out a gun and want to kill people?”hardik woman who turned out to be Esther, a woman who lives with major Dedric Van Osch.

Esther then stood up and approached the young man who accidentally hit her and noticed the figure of Danang, “Hmm.handsome and dashing, unlike most other Javanese youth.”

His admiration for the figure of the young man in front of him made his passion rise and stir.

His heart was beating faster than usual, making blood flow faster in his veins. His face even blushed to the brim withstanding his admiration and desire for the young man.

“Who has the name knappe jonge man (beautiful young man)?” esther said, staring intently at the young man.

“My name is Danang madam.” replied the young man with a smile and stared intently at the eyes that looked at him.

“Mmm...Danangs. Well Danang, first of all, don't call me madam, my name is Esther, call me by that name. And secondly, I accept your apology, but on one condition you must not refuse.”tujar the woman with a smile.

“Hhhh... de blik in zijn ogen zo scherp maar zacht (his eyes are so sharp but soft). Zo smolt mijn hart (his gaze made my heart melt it felt)”batin Esther who was suddenly confused by her own mood.

“What are those terms?”ask Danang to the bule woman in front of him.

“Kowe must take me to my residence, not far from here.”Oesther's request to the gallant young man who has melted his heart and aroused his desire.

“Sorry Esther, I don't think I can. I don't want to be suspected by Mr. Van Osch and my head was shot just for delivering you.”ujar Danang.

“Kowe take it easy knappe jonge man, major Dedric is out of place. He was fulfilling the call of Governor General Baron Van Imhoff in Semarang. And as for these guards, kowe also need not worry, they will obey whatever I command.”ujar the bule woman while twisting her eyes.

“Alright if so, I am willing to take you to your residence Esther.” Danang replied who was greeted with a happy smile of the blonde woman.

“Guards, go home all of you, let Mr. Danang take me home.”Esther orders his guards were immediately followed by the disbandment of some of the guards.

“Let's go.”ujar Esther simultaneously walked next to the dashing and handsome young man to his residence which is also the residence of majoor Dedric Van Osch...
