The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)
3.11. Sense of Bulus
Sometime in the late afternoon at the palace retreat, there was talk between Paduka Raghapati and Chief Sujinsha.
“I order you to watch over the young man. If he makes an unforgivable mistake, it will be easy for me to get rid of him!“ said Paduka Raghapati while sucking cigars along one cubit made of mahogany. Tobacco smoke billows at the edges, forming small circles and fading in the air.
“Why do you worry about your own peace just because of the issue from outside Tanapura? The young man was just a wanderer, he happened to come and the servant recruited him directly to be the king."
"It is a matter of pride for Tanapura, a boy not the people of Tanapura, to be willing to serve for this country" said Chairman Sujinsha, meeting at the boarding school where Paduka lay ill. Chairman Sujinsha looked at Paduka without trepidation, whereas he was only a subordinate who should respect the supreme ruler of Tanapura.
“Your attitude has not changed at all, actually do not like your existence here, but ... considering that this country needs you, I still leave this palace wide open for you," said the cynical Paduka.
“Then why did you not take off the servant?“ ask Chief Sujinsha.
Raghapati rose up slowly from lying down. He sat down and took off the expensive cigar of the palace, looked at Chairman Sujinsha, looked annoyed and his emotions ignited, “Every time we talk about something, always never agree. You always make me angry!” he said loudly until heard by some of the guards from the garden door. The captain's attention turned to them. Of course the guards abandoned their intention to enter when they knew that the one in front of Raghapati was none other than the third Chief Captain of his reign, the most respected and feared. Moreover, in the view of the people, the fame and prestige of Chairman Sujinsha is not far from the position of Lord Raghapati.
Dozens of guards returned to their original positions. While the two palace figures continued their conversation.
“It is not my intention to make your Majesty angry, but your command is not in accordance with the duty ethics of the servant here. Servant, defender of the truth, not made otherwise. There is no reason that can make the servant turn away from the principle, even before the servant served in Tanapura,“ said Chairman Sujinsha did not relent to speak.
Your Majesty Raghapati began to grow angry, “Only a chief, dare to oppose me? Let's see later, until where your principles persist. If one day your power collapses, I will slit your collarbone and stick it in the spear myself.
Chief Sujinsha replied a rather cynical smile, “Hmm, so that's what you want? In that case, I can teach you from now on, what sword styles and types of swords can behead a high-scientific human like me!“ Chief Sujinsha vented his anger, for him to be so before Lord Raghapati was a force in itself.
“If Your Majesty agrees, tomorrow I will teach you to practice early," Chairman Sujinsha's sentence is certainly very insulting to Paduka Raghapati. Without any care or respect he turned around, stayed away from Lord Raghapati and left the place.
His face was red extinguished, this time he got up and shouted, “Support, hold him!!!“
On standby the guards at the park's door arrived, though they feared they might try to block Chairman Sujinsha's move. But Chairman Sujinsha's move was not at all daunted let alone slowed down, instead the bodyguards.
“Stupid! What are you guys doing? Stop her! You didn't hear my orders? I am your King, not him! Stop him I said!!!“
His Majesty's shout forced a guard to swing his spear towards Chief Sujinsha. But the opposite happened, before the spear managed to injure, the body of the bodyguard was hit hard by Chairman Sujinsha. The others followed with their respective weapons. But this time Chief Sujinsha did not take out his fist again. He simply exerted a little bit of his inner energy making the guards who attacked him limp.
“Taste Absorbent!!!“ His majesty Raghapati gasped to see Chief Sujinsha issuing one of the mainstay of science. In an instant, the three guards had already collapsed helplessly, while another one had already run away and shouted for help.Now only did Majesty Raghapati, he was forced to act, immediately approaching Chief Sujinsha who was still behind him. Just when Chief Sujinsha turned around, Majesty Raghapati directly struck the same stance from the palm of her hand. In a few moments, the two high-scientific people fought each other in using the style of the Rice Drainer. Both add strength.
“Hentikan ...! Hentikaaan ..!!!“ Some people came and immediately broke up the two even after that bounced off together. Chief Sujinsha fell to the ground, caught by two men dressed in general. Likewise with Lord Raghapati who crashed hard with two of his original servants to help Lord Raghapati, they tried to get up and quickly gathered to ask for respect.
The first Chief Sujinsha got up then, standing tensely in his place. While the two generals in the corner of the village turned to the place of Lord Raghapati. They were certainly more on his side, also because they were very worried about the state of the King after the recent tense incident. Only a servant had just arrived, approaching towards Chairman Sujinsha.
“Chairman Sujinsha, please have a little patience with your Majesty!“ He said half whispered.
“He forced me!“ said Chairman Sujinsha does not like.
“Remove that delinquent from before me!!!” the order of Lord Raghapati who is being held by the two servants.
“Please your Majesty's wisdom. Mr. Lu is like this since long ago,“ Ki Ageng Mukti back in conversation and approached Paduka Raghapati.
“Give it to the servant, I know how to tame it,“ whispered Moya near the ear of Paduka Raghapati before dozens of guards stormed Chairman Sujinsha. But the King first stopped their arrest.
“Urus him! Order him as ‘kumau!“ His Majesty Raghapati chose Ki Ageng Mukti to handle Chairman Sujinsha.
“Thank you, Sire!” Ki Ageng Mukti bowed, then returned to the position of Chairman Sujinsha and invited him to a room.
“Master, come. Please follow me!”
“Sorry, Chairman, but the situation will be worse if Mr. is still in this place much longer. Please, Chairman, for the sake of our safety and this country,“ both eyes Ki Ageng Mukti scared. Hearing his request, Chief Sujinsha complied. Finally they passed from before Lord Raghapati.
“Look at you, Mr Moya, so disgusting! Intermittently defend Your Majesty if in front of him. But if it's in front of me, your way of speaking becomes another!“ Chief Sujinsha is still emotional.
“Don't say that, my son. Your soul is young, hard, easily provoked by emotions and does not want to be forced. I know that But, just this time please Your Majesty give up for the sake of the people, because they desperately need Your Majesty as the protector of this country. Since Tuan became the Chairman of the Tanapura Praja Union, the stubbornness of Paduka was reduced,“, said Ki Ageng Mukti. The man was already 60 years old and he was the only one closest to Chief Sujinsha.
The anger of Chief Sujinsha shrank. She shifted to the open edge of the window, “Stop calling me Master because I'm still your child.
Ki Ageng Mukti saluted, showing sympathy for him.
“Why ... why should I obey his orders? Why?“ chairman Sujinsha's growled and trembling suppressed emotions.
“Because he is the Leader, Ruler of Tanapura!“
“I didn't ask to be his follower.not me! I never wanted to be his people!”
“But, Sir. I mean, didn't you ever swear to be loyal to her?”
“What oath? I swear to serve Tanapura!” said Chairman Sujinsha firmly straightforward.
“I'm not afraid of the punishment of beheading or hanging. The law in this country has been chaotic ...” said Chairman Sujinsha suddenly sad.
“I was ordered to harm a student of the king.”
“Alright, I get your point. But .. Your will cannot be denied or prevented. Do something for yourself, if you're not the one who can protect those kids, then who else? Listen to me, I am only your advisor, not my forked tongue. In my opinion, do my advice, then the Chairman will get sympathetic Paduka.“
“I don't care sympathetic Majesty, I won't care if he's sympathetic or not to me, I don't care!!“
“Sst, this is more than just sympathetic. The life! Your next life, as well as the fate of those children. If it is not you who is willing to execute your Majesty's orders, then someone else will take the place of that task.”
”Imagine if the task falls into the hands of Abdi Kanan and Abdi Kiri.”
Chairman Sujinsha thought hard, suddenly he realized that Ki Ageng Mukti's words were right. It pensively for a long time. Then his thinking changed.
“Jadi ... I have to how?“
Ki Ageng Mukti looked up Chairman Sujinsha's face and whispered something into his ear.
“Take that task. Pretend to be a teacher in Tanapura. Use the department to protect those kids, not the other way around!”
Chairman Sujinsha thought once again, “Then, what if your Majesty knows this plan is not in accordance with his goals? Until when do I have to pretend to follow his orders? Until when?”
”Until you can no longer afford it ..” whispered Ki Ageng Mukti very close and reviewed the smile knot, “You are the leader of the Unity of Praja Tanapura, there is a reason to divert Paduka … I will also help you!“
Finally Chief Sujinsha fell silent. After the words of Ki Ageng Mukti convinced him, he decided something.
”Alright, I am willing to serve your Majesty's order to become a teacher in Tanapura," replied Chairman Sujinsha.
Ki Ageng Mukti smiled forcefully. He patted Chairman Sujinsha on the shoulder before leaving the place.
