Anjani immediately turned his head towards the voice behind them, as did Nay Kemuning and the others.
Arya Pethak smiled wryly looking at the manner of all of them.
Anjani immediately jumped towards Arya Pethak and hugged the handsome young man's body. Nay Kemuning did not want to lose and rushed to hug Arya Pethak's body tightly. A happy cry instantly sounded from the mouths of the two beautiful girls.
"Why are you?
What are you crying about?", Arya Pethak was a little surprised by the attitude of the two beautiful girls. While Klungsur, Nirmala and Kebo Anabrang and Raden Wijaya who was cold smiled faintly at the arrival of Arya Pethak.
"We're worried about you Kakang. We think Kakang Pethak died with the old grandmother" Anjani said as he pleased.
"Yes Akang Pethak..
If there is no more, Eneng henteu want to live again na", continued Nay Kemuning while continuing to hug the handsome young man's body.
"Hey, it's important that I survive, isn't it? Let's find a place to shelter. We can't linger rain like this. We're not kids anymore.
Later I will tell you how I escaped death" said Arya Pethak while stroking the heads of two beautiful girls.
Hearing Arya Pethak's words, Anjani and Nay Kemuning nodded in understanding while smiling sweetly. They immediately mounted their mount horses and spurred them south. After the small forest, they found that they had reached the boundary of Kotaraja Singhasari.
In an empty house located right next to the city's boundary, they immediately took shelter as the rain was pouring more and more.
Klungsur immediately swung his Gada Galih Asem on the former wooden cots on the porch of the house.
Brrruuaaaaaakkkkh!!
The woodcots were shattered and they quickly gathered the dry wood to make a fireplace on the porch of the empty house.
Kebo Anabrang immediately made a fire from a piece of flint that became an obligatory innate soldier in charge. A bonfire was immediately created and they immediately lined up to warm up as their clothes were soaked.
Raden Wijaya who shivered coldly since then until his lips pale, gradually recovered after a long moment of silence.
"Ndoro Pethak,
I swear I'm still curious. How did Ndoro Pethak get out of the cursed house?", asked Klungsur, looking at the handsome face of Arya Pethak. Everyone who was also curious, turned their heads towards Arya Pethak waiting for the reply of the Demon Swordsman.
Arya Pethak smiled wryly before speaking.
"So I had a science fight with that old grandma..
When the old building began to crackle violently about to collapse. I released Ajian Tapak Brajamusti into his body. He slammed and hit the support pole of the house. I saw him vomit blood but didn't know he was alive or not.
Then I used Ajian Halimun to get out of the house just before it collapsed into the ground".
"So the old grandma is not dead yet Kakang?", asked Anjani immediately.
"I can't be sure if she's dead or not yet Anjani, but she must have been seriously injured when I got out of that place" Arya Pethak stroked her chin.
Mmmmmm..
"If until the witch has not been able, it could be that she will take revenge on us Ndoro", Klungsur chimed in.
"May not, Sur..
I hope that the fight with me made her kapok if she was still alive" Arya Pethak said with a smile.
After waiting for a while later, it finally subsided. Leave a puddle of brownish murky water on some low roads.
"Uncle and aunty all,
Let's go to my house. Kanjeng Romo must be waiting for my arrival", Raden Wijaya pulled Arya Pethak's hand.
"It is true that Gusti Pangeran, Pendekar Arya Pethak.
We should immediately go to Puri Agung Gusti Dyah Lembu Tal. Must be Gusti Lembu Tal is anxiously waiting for news related to Raden Sanggramawijaya. The sooner we get there, the better" Kebo Anabrang politely continued.
Hearing their words, Arya Pethak immediately nodded. Followed by Klungsur, Anjani, Nay Kemuning and Nirmala, Arya Pethak immediately jumped on her horse after Raden Wijaya and Kebo Anabrang first climbed on their horse.
Slightly hurried, they immediately spurred their respective horses towards the south. Passing the Kotaraja Singhasari highway, the group continued to move towards Puri Agung Dyah Pitaloka residence.
4 soldiers guard the gate of Puri Agung directly bowed respectfully to Raden Wijaya and Kebo Anabrang once they arrived. Arya Pethak and her friends followed them.
"Gusti Prince, Prince,
Thank goodness Gusti Pangeran has returned home safely" said a guard soldier while respecting when Raden Wijaya was dropped by Kebo Anabrang from the horse. The soldier immediately ran into the Great Castle. Shortly thereafter Dyah Lembu Tal ran towards the courtyard of Puri Agung with the soldier.
"My son Ngger Cah Bagus.
Thank goodness you survived, son. Lord Shiva really protects you" said Dyah Lembu Tal while hugging Raden Wijaya's body. Tears of happiness dripped from the corner of the sturdy man's eyes.
"Kanjeng Romo had to give a big gift to Uncle Kebo Anabrang and Uncle Arya Pethak.
They were all people who helped me, Father", Raden Wijaya looked at his father's face.
"certain.. Of course Sanggramawijaya..
Oh Jagat Dewa Batara the ruler of Swargaloka, thank you for your protection of my son", thank you for the words from the lips of Dyah Lembu Tal. Everyone immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of Puri Agung while looking at that heartwarming sight.
"Kebo Anabrang, you're such a loyal man..
I did not think that you who are only a low-ranking officer can even help my son's life", said Dyah Lembu Tal with a faint smile.
"Hiswa the servant will bet for Gusti Pangeran Sanggramawijaya, Gusti Rakryan Kanuruh..
From this day onwards the servant will always follow the steps of Raden Wijaya until death picks up", Kebo Anabrang worshiped on Dyah Lembu Tal.
"I believe you will keep your word, Kebo Anabrang..
Who are they?", Dyah Lembu Tal turned to Arya Pethak and his friends.
"They are the people who helped the servant overcome the kidnappers led by Sawung Alas, Gusti Rakryan..
Without the help of the Swordsman Arya Pethak and his comrades, the servant is certainly not able to bring Raden Wijaya home safely ", said Kebo Anabrang immediately.
"I thank you Kisanak Pendekar..
Dyah Lembu Tal is not a person who does not know to return the favor either. If you have any wishes, tell me. If I could give it to you, I would definitely not mind", said Dyah Lembu Tal with a smile.
"Please forgive Gusti,
We're just ordinary people. We are the people of Singhasari Kingdom. Of course, helping close relatives of the palace is an obligation for us.
We do not expect any reward for what we did for Gusti Pangeran Sanggramawijaya", Arya Pethak said while respecting Dyah Lembu Tal.
"What a noble warrior..
Are you not interested in joining Singhasari army, Kisanak Pendekar?
"Please forgive a thousand, Gusti Rakryan Kanuruh.
This servant is not a person who likes high rank or abundant wealth. It is enough for the servant to serve the Singhasari Kingdom by upholding justice and righteousness by the way of the sword.
Please Gusti Rakryan Kanuruh understand", Arya Pethak worshipped on Dyah Lembu Tal immediately.
"I'm proud of you, Kisanak Pendekar..
Not everyone can refuse high office or abundant wealth. Only those who have a pure and clean heart will understand the path of the warrior mind. As my thanks, you should spend the night in Puri Agung to rest. I don't want any rejection.
Anabrang Kebo, China,
Please take them to my guest house", Dyah Lembu Tal raised his right hand. Kebo Anabrang soon saluted followed by Arya Pethak and his comrades. They immediately rushed out from the porch of Puri Agung towards the guest rest hall, leaving Dyah Lembu Tal and Raden Wijaya both.
Towards dusk, Arya Pethak and her friends had a warm conversation in the porch of the guest rest hall. Only Nirmala was still bathing who had not gathered with them. Accompanied by a variety of snacks and wet cakes and ginger wedang, they chat with excitement.
Klungsur whose mouth was full of nagasari cake, immediately choked to hear Arya Pethak's joke about marrying her to Nirmala once she reached Kadiri.
Soon Klungsur grabbed a cup of ginger to relieve the pain in his throat due to choking. As soon as he finished his cup, Klungsur immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"If eating it slowly Sur, no one will seize the kog", Arya Pethak smiled knot.
"Ndoro Pethak if joking don't be so dong.
I almost died choking on hearing Ndoro Pethak talk. Really outrageous", Klungsur scolded while wiping the remaining water coming out of his nose.
"Whose kidding is Sur?
This is serious, loh. You and Nirmala are a good couple. You two are complementary" said Arya Pethak, smiling meaningfully.
"I'm with Nirmala a compatible couple?
If she were my wife, she would threaten me every day with her whore. No, I don't want to. I still want to continue living quietly without having to hang on at all times" said Klungsur sok selling expensive.
"That will make your life Sur-colored..
Nirmala is also beautiful. There must be a lot of men who are interested in getting her married. You are old enough, what are you waiting for?", said Anjani quickly.
"Remember Akang Klungsur,
There is a proverb that occurs in Tatar Pasundan. Saha enggal anjeunna tiasa", timpal Nay Kemuning with a smile.
"What does Nay mean?", Klungsur turned to Nay Kemuning who had just been silent.
"Who quickly he gets, Akang Klungsur..
Sok atuh, don't think long. Mumpung Akang Pethak tea would matekeun with Eneng Nirmala", replied Nay Kemuning immediately.
"But.", Klungsur had not yet finished his talk, a celurite stuck to his neck.
"So you refuse to be betrothed to me?"
Hearing that voice, Klungsur slowly turned his head towards the back. Nirmala glared sharply at Klungsur with a fierce face like a baby tiger. Klungsur instantly turned pale instantly.
"W-who said that? I-I didn't reject kog..
Right Anjani, Nay?", Klungsur glanced at Anjani and Nay Kemuning who smothered his mouth to avoid laughing. The two of them immediately muttered.
"So when do you want to marry me?", Nirmala again showed off her sinister face.
"So soon...
We go back to Kadiri first yes, meet my father" Klungsur said as he shifted the celurit blade that hung around his neck.
Mmmmmm..
"When ba'na breaks the promise, it doesn't chop into satay" Nirmala said as she moved her celurit from Klungsur's neck. The cute black-skinned beautiful woman smiled faintly then passed towards her room.
"Huffffff...
I was almost at the female tiger's gorok", Klungsur sighed in relief.
"I can still hear it", cried Nirmala who had just opened the door of the room.
"Yes yes sorry. Not a female tiger but a female peacock", Klungsur answered quickly. Nirmala smiled faintly and entered the room.
Huahahahahaha....
Arya Pethak, Nay Kemuning and Anjani immediately laughed back and forth at Klungsur's behavior. Klungsur's face scowled annoyedly staring at the actions of three of his closest friends who were like his own family.
"Ndoro Pethak's content now??
Haishh like her I have to wear the Lulang Kebo Landoh talisman belt every day if I want to live long", Klungsur complained about his future.
Dusk soon changed night. The atmosphere of the capital of Singhasari Kingdom is still crowded even though it is not as crowded during the day.
That night, Kebo Anabrang came to Puri Agung guest rest hall Dyah Lembu Tal along with a middle officer who was slightly older than him. The thick-moustached man with a face full of authority. He is Lembu Sora, one of the loyal servants of Dyah Lembu Tal who is the rank of the Savior.
"Good night, Gusti Kebo Anabrang..
What made Gusti come to visit me?", asked Arya Pethak politely. Accompanied by Klungsur, Arya Pethak who was still not sleepy chatted on the porch of the guest hall when they arrived.
"Include Brother Pethak..
This is Lembu Sora, one of Gusti Dyah Lembu Tal's confidants. He is a middle officer in Kotaraja Singhasari" Kebo Anabrang replied with a smile.
"Greetings, Gusti Lembu Sora.
I am Arya Pethak and this is my friend Klungsur", said Arya Pethak politely.
"I've heard the story of Kebo Anabrang about your greatness, Pendekar Arya..
What a young warrior who deserves praise from me, who failed to save Gusti Pangeran Sanggramawijaya", Lembu Sora looked at Arya Pethak's face.
"I'm just lucky, Gusti..
Without the help of my friends and the persistence of Gusti Kebo Anabrang, not necessarily able to help defeat the villainous criminal", Arya Pethak humbled.
Hearing that remark, Oxen Sora smiled wryly. He likes the humble attitude of Arya Pethak despite having a great contribution to save the future king Singhasari next.
The four of them were instantly familiar with each other. Their conversation flows about many things.
Suddenly a soft cold wind blew slowly. Strangely suddenly drowsiness attacked quickly. Klungsur evaporated widely several times even though the night was not too late.
Arya Pethak immediately exerted energy in her to expel the drowsiness that attacked her and said to Lembu Sora and Kebo Anabrang.
"Some one's spreading the siren"
