Sopo sing strong nandhang prisoner

(Who is strong in that situation)

Sopo seng ora kroso

(Who does not feel lost)

Left by pasang babe

(Died fit again unfortunately)

Another jeremy jeremy

(When it is deep)

Koe dalan liyane

(You chose another path)

Sopo sing strong left lungo

(Who is strong is left)

Sopo sing atine ora loro

(Who has no wound in his heart)

Sing wis memories are not good

(Memories I made)

Ning njero ati

(I keep it in my heart)

Dewe wes ra dadi siji

(We're no longer together)

“Non, it's almost midnight. Should be non rest and sleep” said bik Sekar when approaching Sinta.

“Bik, I'm not too sleepy yet. Maybe in a moment, can aunt accompany me to tell you briefly” pinta Sinta back.

“Good non” reply bik Sekar slowly.

Bik Sekar is a woman who is old and known as a healer and for the business of helping the birth process she is arguably already understood by it.

Aryo asks Sekar's bik to look after Sinta until the birthing process is complete while waiting for her to come home from the battlefield. Bik Sekar responded to the request because Bik Sekar was always happy with the baby as if it was his own child.

This is because bik Sekar can not contain due to a disease that makes it sterile. She was once dissolved in sadness but one day her mind was brightened and decided to learn about helping the labor process and until now still doing it.

Tonight the moon shines brightly without the stars. Aryo sat on the roof of his room and began to think about his wife's circumstances. He now misses being together when he spends time at home.

Aryo closed his eyes and began to fantasize that his wife was now beside him. Memories after memories began to cross his mind and make him smile continuously. He could not wait to go home to see the baby they had been waiting for all this time. She also started looking for a name for her baby later and after finding it a smile now adorned her face.

“A good name isn't dad? I am sure he will have a big name when he grows up” said Aryo while looking at the sky.

Aryo seemed to be talking to his late father, either a premonition or if Aryo was sure his son would be a man and would make a big change in the future.

“Dinda, do you currently feel the same way as kanda?” aryo asked in his heart.

Aryo kept pensively thinking about his wife's state, feelings of longing and worry mixed in his heart. He wanted to go home soon but there was something else that demanded him to stay away from his wife.

The night wind blows slowly and immediately fatigue begins to come to Aryo. She yawned and wiped her tears that suddenly came out from drowsiness. Aryo decides to take a break and starts sleeping to face tomorrow.

“I wonder what name he will use for his son later” said Dewi Banyu.

“If the name is not good, I am willing to give you a better name” reply Dewa Bledheg while laughing.

“Quite berbaganya, I am sure the name to be chosen will certainly be good and indeed the best” reply Dewa Bayu also do not want to miss.

These 3 God Goddesses were observing Aryo from above the sky due to the request from God Bayu himself. Bledheg and Dewi Banyu agreed to the invitation of Lord Bayu, both also want to see a war that will soon occur.
