The Heirloom of the Catastrophe Spreader

Childhood Match

All eyes were immediately fixed on the origin of the sound. A group of people dressed luxuriously in makeup like soldiers and nobles emerged from the street. Their luxurious clothes swayed in the wind that blew slowly.

They are a group from Kepatihan Kadiri. The group was led directly by Patih Pranaraja and Sekarwangi aka Ragil Kuning.

Their presence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present at the wedding ceremony of Arya Pethak, Anjani and Nay Kemuning.

Klungsur who saw their arrival turned to Arya Pethak. Upon seeing the nod of the head from Arya Pethak, Klungsur immediately stood up from his seat.

"Gusti Putri Sekarwangi?

Welcome to Ndoro Pethak's wedding ceremony, Gusti Putri. Monggo please Gusti Putri sitting with the guests who came. Monggo Gusti Putri" said Klungsur who immediately ran to welcome the arrival of Goddess Sekarwangi and Patih Pranaraja.

"Beyond you Sur!", Sekarwangi aka Ragil Kuning continued to step forward towards the pelaminan while pushing Klungsur's body not to block his path.

Klungsur almost lost his balance if Nirmala did not hold his body.

"The back of Pethak,

How can you marry that woman? I do not accept", Sekarwangi who was in front of the pelaminan directly pointed towards Anjani who stood to the right of Arya Pethak.

"Yellow Rag!

Keep your attitude! You don't embarrass the Kepihan Kadiri family".

Patih Pranaraja's voice was so resolute it sounded in everyone's ears. Everyone looked at each other not understanding what was going on before their eyes. The atmosphere felt very awkward.

Mpu Prawira and Nyi Ratih rushed up from his seat and walked up to Patih Pranaraja.

"What really happened to Kakang Pranaraja? Is there something I do not know?", asked Mpu Prawira while looking at the old face of Patih Pranaraja.

"I don't know what happened either, Adhi Prawira. We should find out now ", replied Patih Pranaraja as he walked closer to Arya Pethak, Anjani, Nay Kemuning and Sekarwangi who stood not far from his place. Mpu Prawira and Nyi Ratih immediately followed the steps of Patih Pranaraja.

After staring at the faces of the four of them, Patih Pranaraja began to speak up.

"Tell me what's really going on, Yellow Ragil?

Why didn't you approve of Arya Pethak's marriage? Answer honestly because I do not want any lies from your description", Patih Pranaraja stared at the beautiful face of Sekarwangi who looks red and held his anger.

"I do not want Kakang Pethak to marry the woman Romo, he is a disciple of the Goddess of the Snake Demon who almost harmed me and Paramita in the Duchy of Anjuk the other day" said Sekarwangi loudly.

"It's true that my teacher intended to harm Kakang Pethak.. But Brother Pethak can also defeat him, right, Gusti Putri?

That you can't make an excuse to object to our marriage. After Kakang Pethak and I have now officially become husband and wife ", Anjani reply did not want to lose.

Although they had just married, but Anjani was already legitimately the wife of Arya Pethak.

"On what basis do you dare to marry Kakang Pethak?

Do you want to take advantage of your closeness to avenge the death of your teacher Anjani?", Sekarwangi no less fiercely argued.

"Of course, on the basis of love.

The Death of the Serpent Demon Goddess was indeed caused by Kakang Pethak but it was all because of his own mistakes. Although I learned martial arts skills from him, I was nothing more than a slave who had to obey his will, Gusti Putri. His death was the beginning of my freedom. Then why do I take revenge on the person who has freed me from the bondage shackles of the Serpent Demon Goddess?", replied Anjani with a faint smile.

"Kauu....

Anyway I don't trust you Anjani and I object if you marry Kakang Pethak. Point!", reply Sekarwangi did not want to budge at all.

"Strong,

You don't be stubborn Ngger Cah Ayu. Anjani has given her reasons. You must not impose your own will", Patih Pranaraja said gently.

"I don't accept Romo..

I am still worried about Kakang Pethak's situation if I continue to be with the woman. From now on I will continue to follow Kakang Pethak wherever he goes", said Sekarwangi quickly.

"You're a noble. Why follow a man's husband, Ragil Kuning? Who followed the steps of a husband of course was his wife", sergeant Anjani cut off the talk of Sekarwangi and Patih Pranaraja. It made Sekarwangi even more furious with Anjani's talk.

"Huhhhh...

Sly girl. Don't think you've won, have you? L'm.. I will also be Kakang Pethak's wife", Sekarwangi swerved sharply towards Anjani.

Everyone was surprised to hear the words of Dewi Sekarwangi aka Ragil Kuning. They looked at each other for a moment without being able to say anything. Everyone is just waiting for how this fight continues.

"Sekarwangi, you do not go too far!", said Anjani who could not help himself anymore to hear the kengototan Sekarwangi.

"What's that outrageous?

Now you hear my Father and Uncle Prawira's answer before saying I'm outrageous.

Kanjeng Romo, Uncle Prawira..

Now I'm asking you guys. Is it true that Kakang Pethak and I have been married since childhood? Please answer honestly. The lying one will get a balak from Hyang Akarya Jagat", said Sekarwangi while staring at Mpu Prawira and Patih Pranaraja.

The big surprise instantly stunned everyone including Arya Pethak. He who had just been silent immediately stared at Mpu Prawira and Patih Pranaraja who looked at each other to hear the question of Dewi Sekarwangi.

"Where do you know it's all Sekarwangi?", asked Patih Pranaraja immediately.

"Away from the Duchy of Anjuk Padang, I helped the palace attendants of Kepatihan to clean the bedroom Kanjeng Romo because the closet where the personal goods of Romo broke the runway and almost hit one of the ladies.

I accidentally read a letter on the floor of Romo's bedroom. It was a letter from Uncle Prawira who received my matchmaking with Kakang Pethak.

Actually I don't want to expose all these secrets, but things are different now. That's why I forced you to come here to claim my rights.

If you do not believe, this is the letter", Sekarwangi reached into his shirt bag and took out a roll of battered leaves that have been weathered to age but the contents of the writing can still be read clearly.

A breeze blew gently around the place.

"Actually I don't want this problem to happen Ngger Cah Bagus..

"Romo does not need to feel uncomfortable with all this.. I am the son of Father, it is my duty to mikul duwur mendem jero (honoring parents) what has been the old covenant of Kanjeng Romo and Biyung..

I don't want to burden Father's old age with this.

Sekarwangi, now I ask what do you want now?", asked Arya Pethak while staring at the Goddess Sekarwangi.

"I want Kakang Pethak to leave the woman" Sekarwangi pointed at Anjani. Hearing Sekarwangi's words, Anjani's cry immediately broke out. Nay Kemuning immediately hugged Anjani body to calm her.

"I'm sorry I can't, Sekarwangi..

We are legally husband and wife. I can't just leave her alone", Arya Pethak smiled wryly.

"Alright then, I won't ask Kakang.

Now I ask for my right to marry Kakang Pethak. Today, too, do not wait for tomorrow. That is a condition that you must meet so that Kakang Pethak can still be with him" said Sekarwangi quickly.

Hearing the request, Arya Pethak immediately turned to Anjani and Nay Kemuning. Nay Kemuning nodded in understanding and Anjani smiled thinly while nodding quickly.

Seeing the willingness of his two wives, Arya Pethak turned to Dewi Sekarwangi who was still standing before him.

"Alright Sekarwangi.. They have agreed and I also have no reason to refuse" Arya Pethak said with a smile.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the matter end without the need to sacrifice one of the parties.

Mpu Prawira immediately approached Resi Jnanabajra who had seen the quarrel earlier.

"Quickly prepare the ceremony for the Resi... I don't want to be embarrassed in front of Gusti Patih Pranaraja", whispered Mpu Prawira.

"Don't push me, Mpu Prawira..

Yesterday your promise was only once. Now it's two. Can't grusa grusu so", reply Resi Jnanabajra quickly.

"I don't want to know, just prepare everything as soon as possible..

Later I add your wages" said Mpu Prawira as he turned towards Patih Pranaraja.

"Huhhhhh you think the holy water of marriage is to be taken in the river..

Basic geblk", grumbled Resi Jnanabajra while looking at the small cauldron water used for the purification of marriage Arya Pethak, Anjani and Nay Kemuning earlier. Resi Jnanabajra breathed a sigh of relief seeing that there was still enough holy water there.

Nyi Ratih smiles her own smile while leading Dewi Sekarwangi to change his bride clothes in the house. After dressing up for a while, Dewi Sekarwangi came out of the house with a bridal makeup wearing white cloth and flower sucking on the ears.

The slightly overcast atmosphere did not make the wedding that returned to the title that day become less solemn.

For the second time, that day Arya Pethak held a wedding. This time the Goddess Sekarwangi who sat beside her in the pelaminan. A sweet smile is engraved on the beautiful face of Dewi Sekarwangi while occasionally glancing towards Arya Pethak who looks calm.

Anjani and Nay Kemuning sit next to Mpu Prawira and Nyi Ratih. Two wives who had just married Arya Pethak a few moments ago appeared to follow the wedding ceremony calmly.

"Are you not hurt to see your husband remarry?", asked Nyi Ratih as she looked towards Nay Kemuning and Anjani who were sitting next to him.

"For what do we hurt Biyung? Brother Pethak still maintains us, that means he really loves us.

Now that his life is a form of dharma devotion to Romo and Biyung, of course we will not argue. Because filial piety to the old man is obligatory", replied Anjani with a faint smile.

"Abdi tea is also grateful..

Akang Pethak tea did not release us to carry out his duties as a child. That is enough for the servant", continued Nay Kemuning who immediately made Nyi Ratih moved by the answers of the two of them. He immediately embraced the bodies of Arya Pethak's two wives with teary eyes.

The solemn atmosphere of Arya Pethak and Sekarwangi's marriage ended with a tribute to both parents.

Patih Pranaraja looks teary eyes when Dewi Sekarwangi sungkem to him. She did not expect that today she would see her youngest daughter get married.

"Pethak, I leave my daughter to you.. Please take care of her and you love her as much as I love her..

I know Sekarwangi's nature is often annoying and stubborn but behind it all, she's just an innocent girl who never gets the attention and affection because she lost her mother as a child", patih Pranaraja said when Arya Pethak sungkem to him.

"Kanjeng Romo Patih take it easy..

I have memorized the true nature of Sekarwangi. I promise to always love and protect her with all my heart Kanjeng Romo", replied Arya Pethak while respecting Patih Pranaraja. Warangka Kadiri smiled in a knot while patting Arya Pethak on the shoulder.

After that in the event of entertainment and friendly with a meal event that has been prepared.

A group of traveling dancers hire Mpu Prawira to enliven the evening event that day. Everything looks happy and happy. One of the members of the Patih Pranaraja troupe had come down to Pakuwon Ganter and bought dozens of jun bamboo palm warmers because the weather in the Bukit Kahayunan area was quite cold. The atmosphere of the night was really good. The sound of gamelan rancak plus the sway of the traveling dancers makes the atmosphere more lively.

Arya Pethak, Anjani, Sekarwangi and Nay Kemuning were seen watching the show from the window of the house.

Klungsur, sitting with Nirmala, glanced at the window of the house where Arya Pethak and her wives were watching. He immediately elbowed Nirmala's waist slowly. The beautiful girl from the Duchy of Songeneb immediately turned her head towards Klungsur.

"What's Kang?", asked Nirmala quickly.

"Sstttt...

Don't be loud your voice. Let's look at the window behind that", Klungsur gestured Nirmala's hand. The black-skinned girl immediately followed Klungsur's directions and turned to Klungsur again.

"Why Kang?", asked Nirmala who did not understand Klungsur's intentions. The naked young man immediately patted his own eel while shaking his head.

"Wes really don't connect..

You want to bet with me not Nir?", Klungsur took out a small bag of silver kepengs and extended it to Nirmala.

"What is Kang's bet? Sengko did not like gambling huh", Nirmala stared in wonder at Klungsur.

"Just relax this is not a kog gambling bet. If you win, you can take the money to buy new clothes. If you lose you have to kiss my cheek. Easy right?", Klungsur smiled faintly.

"Nteng if that's all. Indeed what would be Kang's bet?", Nirmala looked back at Klungsur. The naked young man immediately smiled widely before speaking.

"Who is Ndoro Pethak sleeping first tonight?"
