Paramita's speech surprised Arya Pethak who just returned after receiving a high level of canuragan from Patih Pranaraja.
"You just surprised me, Paramita..
It's late, why not sleep yet?", asked Arya Pethak as she looked towards Paramita who was standing at the door of the guest ward of Kepatihan.
"I'm worried about you, Kakang, you suddenly disappeared without any talk.
Scaring me" replied Paramita, pursing her tiny lips.
"That's it, I'm fine..
Tomorrow morning we will continue our conversation. Let's take a break" said Arya Pethak as she walked towards her bedroom.
Paramita immediately headed to her bed next to Arya Pethak's bedroom.
Arya Pethak immediately locked her bedroom door. On the bed, Arya Pethak sat cross-legged. With his hands holding his two horns, he set his breath to train his energy in his newly received knowledge of Ajian Lembu Sekilan. Arya Pethak drowns in her semedy.
The boisterous sound of unpretentious roosters awakens Arya Pethak. The morning before arriving in Dalem Kepatihan Kadiri. The morning sun began to appear a red tinge in the eastern horizon. The rainy season that will soon arrive delivers thick cloud clouds in the sky Kadiri.
Soon Arya Pethak ended her season. The handsome man immediately rushed towards the Fate bath that was behind the main ward. Once there, the bathtub was full of women who just woke up.
The arrival of Arya Pethak made a scene for the women residents of Dalem Kepatihan, including Ragil Kuning aka Sekarwangi.
"Look at that, the young man was very handsome huh", whispered a slim-bodied Patience lady.
"I'm willing to be his wife" replied his friend in a flirtatious tone.
"Ah let not the wife, so the mistress I want" said another lady near them.
Mm ahemmm..
Deheman Sekarwangi who was beside them made their whispering event immediately stop.
"You guys are not helping me even busy spreading charm. Tired of working as a ladyboy of the Kepatihan huh?", said Sekarwangi while staring intently at the waiting of the Kepatihan who crowded there.
Hearing Sekarwangi's words they immediately froze looking for their respective busyness.
Arya Pethak immediately cleaned her face without caring for the few pairs of eyes that kept stealing glances towards her.
After cleaning up, Arya Pethak returns to her bedroom. He immediately changed the clothes that were in the bundle of cloth.
While waiting for the day to be noon, the handsome young man immediately rushed towards the Reward stables to see the state of his steed horse.
Ki Granti and his son, Klungsur seemed busy bathing the horse mounts of the other occupants of Kepatihan assisted two older people who also worked there.
Seeing the arrival of Arya Pethak, Ki Granti immediately approached the young man.
"Morning has gone to the stables, Ndoro..
Do you want to go?", asked Ki Granti with a friendly smile.
"No Ki, no,
I just want to bathe my horse instead of sitting dumbly doing nothing" replied Arya Pethak with a faint smile.
"Don't Ndoro, please,
If until Gusti Patih knows I let Ndoro Pethak bathe his own horse, I can get angry. Let the Klungsur bathe the Ndoro horse.
Sur Klungsur's...
Come here", call Ki Granti to a young man in black who wears a black headband. The young man's appearance is quite funny with a mustache that grows under his nose similar to a fly that perches his lips and stature is not too high. He was just Arya Pethak.
"What's the matter Mo? I want to bathe Ndoro Putri's horse" Klungsur replied as he approached his father.
"Here you bathe Ndoro Pethak's horse..
It wants to wear. Kuda Ndoro Putri leave it first", ordered Ki Granti on Klungsur.
"But if Ndoro Putri is angry, I'm being blamed by Mo..
The Ndoro Putri Ragil Kuning people are so fierce", said Klungsur while shuddering in horror at the thought of Sekarwangi's nagging.
"If Ndoro Putri Ragil Kuning is angry, I will be responsible. Already you do not have many reasons, quickly bathe the horse Ndoro Pethak", cut Ki Granti immediately.
Klungsur obediently heard his father's orders. Immediately he led Arya Pethak's horse and led her to a small river behind Kepatihan followed by Arya Pethak.
They immediately bathed Arya Pethak's black horse there.
"Your name is Klungsur?", asked Arya Pethak while rubbing her horse's back with the dry grass she got from the bank of the small river.
"True Ndoro, my name is Klungsur. Abdi dalem Kepatihan", answered Klungsur while pouring water on Arya Pethak's horse.
"Have you worked here for a long time?", Arya Pethak asked the young man a question.
"It's been a long time Ndoro Pethak, since childhood I have been invited by Romo to work here.
Actually I want to travel for experience, but Romo always forbid", complained Klungsur while continuing to rub the body of the dark horse.
"Be patient, if the Gods willed surely your wish will be fulfilled" said Arya Pethak with a smile.
They kept bathing the horses while chatting.
When the sun was half up, Patih Pranaraja who was morning was sad on Prince Lembu Tal at Kadiri's palace, returned with a confused look. The old man seemed to think of something important.
Arya Pethak who just finished bathing her horse, passed by Patih Pranaraja. Seeing Pranaraja who was thinking about something, hunted Arya Pethak approached her.
"I'm sorry Gusti Patih if I interfere..
It seemed like there was something Gusti Patih was thinking about. If you can know what it is?", Arya Pethak's speech immediately disperse Pranaraja's daydream.
Suddenly a thought flashed through the head of Patih Pranaraja.
"Ah what a coincidence.
Arya Pethak I was dizzy thinking about who I was going to send to Kurawan. Gusti Prince Lembu Tal asked me to send a newsletter to the Duke of Kurawan. If Sindupati is leaving, I'm worried about her safety. Because his martial arts are still low.
Help me Pethak, you can find the Ireng Centipede based in Mount Wilis" said Patih Pranaraja while staring at Arya Pethak.
"Thank you for the opportunity Gusti Patih gave me. I am willing to go there" said Arya Pethak soon.
"Good good good..
I'll provide you with enough for your trip. How many soldiers are escorting you?", asked Patih Pranaraja, smiling faintly.
"I do not want to be accompanied by many people, Gusti Patih..
Paramita has definitely followed me. Maybe I just need another friend to accompany" Arya Pethak politely said.
"That's kind of, like,
Now come with me a nice brat's breakfast. The worms in my stomach have been singing since" said Patih Pranaraja, holding Arya Pethak's hand.
The two of them immediately headed to the Kepatihan boga gym where Ragil Kuning was also about to fill his stomach. The arrival of Arya Pethak and Patih Pranaraja simultaneously made Sekarwangi slightly squinted his eyes.
"Kanjeng Romo,
Why is it so compact with Kakang Pethak?", asked Sekarwangi with a suspicious tone.
Hehehe
"Whataaaaa???!!
Father sent Arya Pethak to Kurawan? Is Romo not wrong?", asked Sekarwangi in a high tone.
"Of course not. Arya Pethak has a high martial ability, the journey there is dangerous and with her martial skills certainly can go home safely" Patih Pranaraja said immediately.
"But Romo.".", Sekarwangi had not yet completed his objection, Arya Pethak cut his speech.
"I asked to be sent there, Gusti Putri", Arya Pethak stared at the round face of Sekarwangi's egg.
"Then I go with Kakang", pinta Sekarwangi with a sweet smile.
"I can't decide if you can come or not, Princess Gusti. It depends on Gusti Patih's will", replied Arya Pethak with a faint smile.
Sekarwangi immediately turned to Patih Pranaraja, but the old man shook his head.
"Romo sucks!", cried Sekarwangi who immediately stepped away from the session of the Kepatihan boga. The beautiful girl was furious.
That morning, after breakfast, Arya Pethak went to Kurawan accompanied by Paramita and Klungsur. Ki Granti's son looked very happy when Arya Pethak invited him.
Three horses move to leave Kepihan Kadiri.
While trying to pass the border of Kadiri, Arya Pethak's entourage stopped their horse's footsteps.
Sekarwangi blocked by carrying a bundle of clothes. The beautiful woman sat on her horse.
"Daughter Gusti,
What is it that you are blocking our way?", asked Arya Pethak immediately.
"I'm coming to Kurawan, Kakang. Anyway I want to come" Sekarwangi replied with a knotty smile.
"You don't get me in Princess Gusti's trouble. If until Gusti Patih knows, I can be in severe law" said Arya Pethak with a clear tone.
"You take it easy, Kakang. Romo won't punish you because I've said goodbye.
Let's go", said Ragil Kuning Sekarwangi as he kicked his horse towards the city of Daha.
With an annoyed grunt, Arya Pethak forced to follow Sekarwangi followed by Paramita and Klungsur.
In Kepatihan, a Kepatihan ladyboy ran towards Patih Pranaraja who was sitting in the foyer seat of the Patihan.
"Katiwasan Gusti Patih katih katiwasan" said the dayang with a gasp of breath due to running.
"What's Dayang? What's the matter?", asked Patih Pranaraja who immediately stood up from his seat.
"Daughter Wrestling is gone from Reputation" replied the Reply lady-in-waiting immediately.
"WHATAAAAA???!!!
How could it be?", asked Patih Pranaraja with a surprised look.
The girl of the Dayang Kepatihan immediately handed over a letter that she found on a table near the bed Sekarwangi.
Patih Pranaraja immediately read the lontar leaf sheet written by Sekarwangi.
After reading the letter, Patih Pranaraja immediately sat down limp. She did not expect that her protection of her youngest daughter was making Sekarwangi feel depressed.
"Ngger Cah Ayu,
Forgive me if your Father is too controlling. May your journey be safe Ngger..
Arya Pethak,
I entrust the safety of my daughter to you" Patih Pranaraja said as he stared at the western sky.
Elsewhere, Arya Pethak's entourage continued to move west of the city of Daha. By late afternoon, Arya Pethak's entourage had reached the Brantas river crossing pier in the west of Daha city.
A well-built man in black clothes, approached them.
"Kiss,
Do you want to cross over?", asked the sturdy man graciously.
"True Kisanak, really,
We want to go to Kurawan. What are the owners of the ferry boat?", asked Arya Pethak politely.
"True Kisanak, really,
Let's go up. It's the last crossing before it closes, and it opens again tomorrow morning.
Oh yes, it costs 1 piece of silver per person. Please pay after the boat reaches the pier across the river" said the owner of the crossing ship politely.
Arya Pethak and her friends immediately boarded the ferry boat. Soon the ship split the Brantas river.
Not long after, they reached the other side of the river. Arya Pethak immediately paid the cost of crossing them. After getting off the ship, they immediately jumped on their respective horses and spurred slowly.
Two pairs of eyes were staring at them.
