Jaran Gandi's fist immediately spread his hands wide. The beautiful girl immediately hugged the body of the Kurawan Duchy's retainer.
"My beloved daughter, Anjarwati..
The longer you get bigger" said Tumenggung Jaran Gandi, stroking Rara Anjarwati's long hair. The girl is the youngest daughter of Tumenggung Jaran Gandi. The little girl was taken care of by her baby, Nyi Ramut, because Rara Anjarwati's mother died after giving birth to her. Both Rara Anjarwati's older sister, Kuda Amerta and Kuda Seta are very fond of her sister.
"Ahh Rome... I was fed every day by the biyung gban, then it kept getting higher like this.
Uh who are they Romo?", Rara Anjarwati pointed towards Arya Pethak and her comrades.
"They were emissaries from Kadiri, Ngger Cah Ayu..
It happened that we met them on the road when we returned to Anjuk Farm. If there are no them, maybe Romo will go home just name", replied Tumenggung Jaran Gandi with a faint smile.
"Arya Pethak, Sekarwangi, Paramita, Gajah Wiru..
Come here", Tumenggung Jaran Gandi called the four people.
The four of them immediately approached towards Tumenggung Jaran Gandi. Klungsur who did not join was tailed behind the four of them.
"This is my youngest daughter, Rara Anjarwati.
Ngger Cah Ayu,
This white dress is called Arya Pethak. The beautiful girl in red is Paramita, if this yellow one is called Sekarwangi. Those who wear blue clothes are called Gajah Wiru", said Tumenggung Jaran Gandi introduced them to Rara Anjarwati.
They immediately nodded respectfully at Rara Anjarwati.
"If the ugly, nude and dirty black clothes who is Romo?", point Anjarwati at Klungsur who is behind.
'Basic spoiled girl. It seemed to insult me ugly and ugly, ' Klungsur grumbled, hearing Rara Anjarwati's words.
"Oh whose name is Klungsur, his loyal servant Arya Pethak. Romo until forget with his", replied Tumenggung Jaran Gandi immediately.
"Oh just a servant after all", there is a humbling effect in the words of Rara Anjarwati.
After introducing Arya Pethak and his friends, Tumenggung Jaran Gandi invited them to rest. Their tiring journey let alone the fierce fight they had experienced required a comfortable time and place to rest.
The reddish twilight sky soon disappeared as the thick overcast from the south moved to cover the sky of the Kurawan Duchy. Shortly thereafter heavy rain poured into the city area along with lightning and thunder earthy. The atmosphere of the night became cold and gripping.
Arya Pethak sat in front of her bedroom looking at the torrential rain drops fluttering nonstop.
He was imagined when he was 1 Warsa, Mpu Prawira and Nyi Ratih covered his entire body from the rain water that entered their house because the roof of his reeds leaked.
Arya Pethak feels homesick for her two foster parents now.
As Arya Pethak was daydreaming, a clap on her left shoulder resuscitated the handsome young man. When Arya Pethak turned her head, Sekarwangi's sweet smile was on the red lips of Patih Pranaraja's daughter.
"Rain rain kog even daydream Kang? Later demon possessed loh", joked Sekarwangi who sat next to Arya Pethak.
"I don't daydream Gusti Putri..
Just thinking of my parents in Kahayunan Hill. Every heavy rain falls like this, for some reason I always remember them" said Arya Pethak with a faint smile.
"Yes the name of the child must miss the home of parents when there are special events that make them comfortable.
I also miss Kanjeng Romo Patih sometimes, but I also want to see the vastness of the world. When I feel satisfied later, I will definitely return to the Kanjeng Romo house" said Sekarwangi with a smile looking at the heavy rain that flushed the city of Kurawan. The wind that blows waving the long hair of Patih Pranaraja's daughter adds to her beauty.
The two of them shared stories about many things. Unaware that Klungsur was starving, he approached them both.
"Well, good rain is courtship" said Klungsur who immediately made Arya Pethak and Sekarwangi immediately turned to look towards Klungsur. Feeling caught red-handed by Klungsur, Sekarwangi aka Si Ragil Kuning reddened his face.
"W-who's dating? Indiscriminate if you say", denied Sekarwangi who tried to hide his shame because of the sloroh of Klungsur.
"Lha if not dating, why is it raining night like this sitting together? Waiting for snails creeping Ndoro Putri?", Klungsur sergeant did not want to lose.
"You can't your voice slow down a little Sur?
We are here, do not be as good as your own stomach dong", Arya Pethak a little glare at Klungsur which immediately makes the naked young man shrivel his guts.
"Sorry Ndoro sorry, Klungsur was just joking" Klungsur said in a frightened tone. Rarely does Arya Pethak make a loud noise at her. Even if it makes a loud noise, it is a sign Arya Pethak does not play games.
"You yourself why is the night so wandering? Later if you are accused of being a thief, want you Sur?", Arya Pethak asked Klungsur.
"I'm hungry Ndoro Pethak..
Had wanted to eat a lot not so because sebel with the talk of the annoying tumenggung princess. That's why I eat a little.
Lah this has just the stomach sound continues Ndoro, keep me out to eat", replied Klungsur as he felt his stomach that sounded again.
Sekarwangi just smiled knot.
"You wait here for a while, Sur", said Sekarwangi who immediately got up from his seat and walked towards his room.
Shortly after, Sekarwangi returned with a tray of boiled king bananas and placed it near Klungsur.
"Now you eat. It's good to have that chunk of your stomach that reads", hearing that, Klungsur immediately grabbed two pieces of boiled king bananas and ate them voraciously.
Arya Pethak and Sekarwangi only shake their heads to see the behavior of Klungsur who eat like a trance.
"After our newsletter to Duke Lembu Panoleh, what are our next plans Kakang?", asked Sekarwangi after staring at the handsome face of Arya Pethak.
"I don't know Ndoro Putri, though,
We must know first what Gusti Adipati Lembu Panoleh replied after reading a letter from Gusti Patih. We just decided on the next step.
But clearly, I want to find the head of the Ireng Centipede Group who killed my parents" Arya Pethak replied immediately.
"I will follow Kakang Pethak wherever Kakang goes" said Sekarwangi with a faint smile. The beautiful face of the woman immediately lowered her head as Arya Pethak's eyes turned towards her.
"Klungsur also goes with Ndoro, wherever it goes" Klungsur said with a mouth full of boiled bananas.
Arya Pethak smiled at the words of the two of them.
The night is getting late. The heavy rain that has been pouring down the city of Kurawan has stopped since. The breeze that blows makes the air so cold to touch the skin.
Klungsur has evaporated wide several times. The drowsiness that attacked him was suddenly so intense that he fell asleep in a sitting position. Sekarwangi is like that too. Patih Pranaraja's daughter almost fell from her seat due to the drowsiness that came suddenly.
Arya Pethak who realized something was not right immediately circulated her gaze around the place.
'There are people who use sirep apparently. Must have had bad intentions', inner Arya Pethak while continuing to sharpen her vision.
As the tail of his eyes caught a black shadow in the middle of a fast flashing, the warrior from Kahayunan Hill immediately darted after him. Making the wooden chair overturn and Sekarwangi fell to the floor hard.
Sekarwangi immediately realized from his sleepiness. Seeing Arya Pethak darting towards the doorway in the south, Patih Pranaraja's daughter hurriedly chased after Arya Pethak.
The black shadow continued to run fast when it saw Arya Pethak chasing after him. He was so shocked to see the speed of Arya Pethak who was using the Wind God Ajian Step.
Feeling that he would not be able to escape, the black shadow immediately threw two small knives at Arya Pethak.
Shrrrionnggg!!
Arya Pethak quickly shook her hand until the small knife turned and stuck on the wooden wall of the house.
Creep!
With a single powerful right footed foot on the courtyard, Arya Pethak bounced high into the air and landed before the black shadow.
Whuuuutttthhhhw..
Jeyeggg!!
"Who are you?
What business is there in this place?", asked Arya Pethak as she kept an eye on the movements of the black shadow that covered her face with a piece of red cloth. From the shape of his body, the black shadow was a woman. A small mole in the left corner of his eye is a characteristic feature of that person.
The black shadow silently did not answer. The tail of his eyes saw Sekarwangi running towards him from behind.
One subtle jolt in his right hand took out two small balls the size of a bird egg. While in his left hand 8 seeds of a secret weapon in the form of a swallow.
Seeing Sekarwangi getting closer, the black shadow immediately threw a small black ball towards Arya Pethak. The ball slid quickly from the hand of the black shadow that along with the throwing of a secret bird-shaped weapon as much as 3 seeds.
Whhhuuuutttthhh..
Arya Pethak immediately threw out her right hand. A swarm of deep-power cold wind instantly thrust swiftly towards the black shadow.
Auuggghhhhh!!
There was a small scream from the black shadow as the cold wind of power in Arya Pethak whack his left shoulder in front.
Dharr!
The small ball exploded in front of Arya Pethak, creating a dense smog. Arya Pethak managed to capture one secret weapon and evade the other two.
At the same time, the black shadow also threw 5 secret weapons towards Sekarwangi.
Shriingg!!
Patih Pranaraja's daughter was startled and quickly dodged the attack.
After the dense fog disappeared, the black shadow also disappeared. Apparently the small ball that exploded earlier was a means to escape.
Arya Pethak immediately approached Sekarwangi who had just arrived.
"You all right, Ndoro Putri?", asked Arya Pethak immediately.
"I'm okay Kakang. That person threw something like a secret weapon at me, but he disappeared after doing so", Sekarwangi replied quickly.
Mmmmmm..
"Then, let's go back to Tumenggung Jaran Gandi's house. I was afraid something bad happened", Arya Pethak asked Sekarwangi who made the beautiful woman nod in understanding.
Just about to move, there was a sound of clanging on the sidewalk.
Thoongg thonggg!!
Arya Pethak and Sekarwangi looked at each other for a moment before darting quickly towards the sound of a fart near the door of Katumenggungan yard.
In the courtyard Katumenggungan, there were already 4 soldiers and Rara Anjarwati and Kuda Amerta who gathered when Arya Pethak came with Sekarwangi.
" What's the soldier? Why are you kicking like that?", asked Sekarwangi immediately.
"Katiwasan Nisanak,
Katumenggungan in bobol. Muting. He took some money and jewelry stored in the closet Gusti Putri Anjarwati", replied the guard Katumenggungan as soon as he saw the arrival of the two of them. They recognize him as a guest brought by Tumenggung Jaran Gandi.
Mmmmmm..
"So we were chasing the thief, Kakang Pethak?", asked Sekarwangi who immediately turned to Arya Pethak.
"It seems so sekarwangi..
That person has the science of lightening a great body", replied Arya Pethak while taking out a secret weapon in the form of a swallow that was caught and showed it to the Amerta Horse.
"Where did you get this thing?", asked the Amerta Horse as he stared at Arya Pethak.
"It was cast by the black shadow I was chasing. Previously he used the science of sirep in Katumenggungan, to make us sleepy" replied Arya Pethak explained everything to the Amerta Horse.
"Red Wallet. Yes it must be him. This secret weapon is his proof.
The insolent!
How dare he patronize Katumenggungan", maki Kuda Amerta with anger.
"Who's the Red Swallow, Officer Gusti? I just heard?", Arya Pethak stared at the Amerta Horse that was grasping the secret weapon tightly.
Huda Amerta did not have time to answer, Tumenggung Jaran Gandi who had just cut the conversation.
"Red Wallet is a powerful mandraguna. He had long been a fugitive of the Kurawan Duchy, as well as several surrounding duchies.
The home of the rich and the officials is his target. He's been missing for a long time, no news. This week from the reports of the soldiers, there have been several incidents of theft in the city of Kurawan.
I never thought he would steal in my house. Basic insolent!", said Tumenggung Jaran Gandi with growl.
"Father,
Catch that thief. Jewelry relics Kanjeng Ibu carried him Father hik hik hik.", sobs Rara Anjarwati immediately broke. The blue diamond-eyed golden necklace is a relic of his mother that he always cared for.
"You take it easy Ngger Cah Ayu, tomorrow Father sent the Kurawan soldiers to hunt the rotten thief to meet", entertain Tumenggung Jaran Gandi while wiping the head of Rara Anjarwati.
Rara Anjarwati continued to sob sadly when Tumenggung Jaran Gandi invited her into the palace Katumenggungan.
The night is almost morning.
The black shadow that escaped from Arya Pethak continued to move agilely among the trees.
In a house on the edge of the Kurawan Duchy, the black shadow leapt down to a house sheltered among the trees.
As soon as he entered the house, the black shadow immediately removed the red cloth covering his face. And sure enough, she was a beautiful woman. He immediately threw a bundle of cloth containing silver and gold pieces and jewelry that he had just taken from Katumenggungungan.
Slowly she undressed her black shirt and saw her left shoulder next to the front was a blackish-red, a sign that she was suffering from internal injuries. The beautiful woman was angry.
"The young man, though,
I'll reply someday"
