The dust of the streets flew with the footsteps of Arya Pethak and her comrades. Because there were too many people, Arya Pethak could not possibly take them all with Ajian Halimun, so he had to ride. There was only half a full moon left before Rara Larasati's life was truly beyond help. They chase time.
By midday, Arya Pethak's group reached Kawadoan Barisan. After filling the stomach for a while while hinting at his horse mount, they again continued their journey eastward.
Until the day before dusk, Arya Pethak and his friends were forced to stay at a small village located east of Kawadoan Barisan. A Rama Village named Aki Karta voluntarily gave the four people overnight.
Anjani's courtesy is also smart Nay Kemuning took heart Aki Karta make the group was really treated like his own family by Aki Karta.
The next morning, after having breakfast together with Aki Karta and her family, Nay Kemuning represented Arya Pethak, Anjani and Klungsur farewell to Aki Karta and her family. Rama the village led them to the village boundary.
The group resumed their journey eastward. Towards noon, they reached the banks of the Pemali River which is the natural boundary of Singhasari Kingdom and Sunda Galuh Kingdom.
"Ndoro Pethak,
Find a meal first yuk. Hungry" said Klungsur while stroking his stomach that had sounded.
"Come on Sur, I happen to be hungry too. Soon we reach the crossing pier", Arya Pethak reply while pounding her horse towards the crossing pier towards Wanacala Village in Singhasari region. Many people pass by with a pedati, as well as the residents who want to cross to the Duchy of Rajapura.
Once entering the edge of the crossing pier, Arya Pethak directs the group to a food stall that looks crowded with people. The four of them immediately jumped down from their horses and tied the runner to the horse's deck and entered the food stall.
Not in the middle, in the food stall there is a fat boatman crossing that they met the other day.
"Ndoro Pethak, that's not the fat boatman huh? What is he in the shop here?", whispered Klungsur as he looked at the dining table not far from their seat. The fat man was standing next to two beautiful women in red.
"Yes Ndoro, it looks like the fat one is scared with the two women yes", Anjani also chimed in Klungsur's talk.
"Si fat saha tea? I don't understand what you're talking about", Nay Kemuning wobbled around the food stall room. Because he was confused there were three fat people in the food stall.
"That's near Nay's corner" Anjani answered briefly.
"Of course, it's none of our business. Keep eating, do not interfere in people's affairs" said Arya Pethak while continuing to eat. They enjoyed lunch.
After paying for their food for two silver pieces, Arya Pethak led her horse followed by Klungsur, Anjani and Nay Kemuning to near the crossing pier. About 4 people also lined up to cross. The fat man who usually screams to invite people across, seems silent as usual.
Klungsur immediately handed the reins to Anjani, and approached the fat man.
"Eh fat,
There is no crossing today? Kog tumben you really a henchman", asked Klungsur as soon as he arrived near the fat man.
"Curlsttttttttttt...
Watch your mouth, nude. I have an important assignment. Don't you bother me. There is a crossing today. It's gone" drive the fat one away with a face full of fear.
"Go away. That's why kog is angry.. Fucking fat shit ", grumbled Klungsur as he approached Arya Pethak's entourage.
Two beautiful women in red clothes near the fat man immediately approached the man in a thick body.
"Who is that guy? Why do you know her?", asked the beautiful woman in red who looked older than her.
"Sa-I don't know, Nyi..
He was the one who boarded my ferry boat the other day. Yesterday they were just three, now four. That's all I know Nyi", the fatty replied stammeringly.
Mmmmmm...
"That handsome young man looks attractive, Kangmbok. If the leader sees it, he will be happy.
How about we take her to the Valley of a Thousand Flowers?", said the younger beautiful woman while biting her lower lip.
"Your idea may be too, Banawati..
We catch him after crossing this Pemali River. But he seems to be a warrior. We must be careful not to be wretched" said the older beautiful woman with a wide smile.
"We just use the Jala Sukma given by the ruler of the Valley of a Thousand Flowers, Kangmbok..
No matter how bad he is, he will not be able to break the red thread of the heirloom" said the woman named Banawati immediately. Hearing that remark, the beautiful woman in the older red clothes immediately smiled and nodded in understanding.
All their conversations were heard by the fat guy.
Slowly the ferry boat began to dock to the crossing dock. Everyone started moving to the lips of the pier. One by one began to climb onto the ferry boat. No less than 8 people hitchhiking on a boat. Including horses and goods.
Anjani directly paid the crossing fee of 6 pieces of silver to a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo caping.
After everyone boarded, slowly the ferry boat began to move towards the other side of the river. The ripples of the Pemali river are slightly clearer in the piercing boat driven by 4 sturdy men.
On the grounds of checking the luggage, the fat man walked towards the stern of the crossing ship where Arya Pethak and her comrades were. He deliberately hit Klungsur's body while whispering something in Klungsur's ear.
Klungsur almost cursed the fat man if he did not hear his whisper. After that, the fat man returned to the side of the two red-clad beauties who were near the bow of the ship.
After the fat man returned to his place, Klungsur approached Arya Pethak and whispered the fat man's words. Arya Pethak immediately understood.
The ferry boat is getting closer to the edge of the Wanacala Village crossing dock. Not long after that the boat docked at the dock. A burly man immediately jumped onto the dock and quickly tied the boat rope to one of the palanquin trees.
One by one the passengers started getting off the ferry boat.
The two beauties in the earliest red clothes came down. They immediately rushed to a house not far from the pier crossing. Shortly after, a pigeon flew eastward.
Arya Pethak waits by the pier with Anjani, Klungsur and Nay Kemuning. One by one their horses were removed from the boat. After everything was settled, the four of them immediately rode their respective horses and spurred their horses towards the east.
The two red-clothed beauties smiled widely and quickly chased after Arya Pethak and her comrades.
"Hopefully you can escape the ambush of the female demon devil', the fat man of the ferry boat while looking towards the departure of Arya Pethak and friends.
After a long time riding, in the T-junction before crossing Kali Gung, in the middle of a small forest, 4 women in red clothes blocked the pace of their journey. Arya Pethak pulled the reins of her horse and the animal neighed loudly before stopping.
Not long after, two beautiful women who followed them from the Pemali River until.
"What business do you have against us?", Arya Pethak stared intently at the 4 people who confronted him.
"The money? Because you are too handsome, swordsman hahahaha.", said the beautiful horsewoman who followed them.
"Basic ******!
Your words are like a whore flirting with a striped-nose man. Move aside or you will regret interrupting our journey", Anjani immediately replied to the beautiful woman horseman's words tightly.
Ohhuuiiiiiihhhh!!
"I have nothing to do with you, ugly woman! I just want to talk to that handsome young man, not with a woman whose makeup looks like you", said another beautiful woman beside him.
"Kauu.", Anjani was about to jump towards the beautiful woman in red who insulted him, but Arya Pethak's words stopped her intentions.
"Hold Anjani..
Who are you guys? There is no revenge between us. You better not disturb our journey", Arya Pethak turned her eyes to the beautiful woman in red who was riding a horse.
Haha...
"I am Kekayi and she is Banawati, we are members of the Valley of the Thousand Flowers led by the Peacock Goddess Lembayung on the border of Kalingga and Rajapura.
We invite you to meet the leader of the Valley" said the beautiful woman in red who is the leader of this group.
"I don't know your boss, so I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your invitation. We still have important business. We implore ourselves", Arya Pethak replied politely.
"If you do not know you must first acquaintance, handsome young man hahahaha..
It's not a request but you have to come with us like it or not. Do not force us to be violent so that you obey" said a young woman named Banawati with a smile.
"That's right!
You think we're scared of you guys huh? Your mouth deserves a lesson ", Anjani immediately shot towards Kekayi and Banawati while smashing both his right hands. Two streaks of blackish green light rushed towards the two red-clothed beautiful women.
Kekayi and Banawati immediately jumped high into the air avoiding the blackish green rays of Ajian Tread Snake Demon that Anjani released. Nay Kemuning instantly whipped out his Dragon Whip Sword and came charging towards Kekayi and Banawati.
Meanwhile, 4 other men in red immediately surrounded Klungsur and Arya Pethak with unsheathed weapons.
A fierce fight between them soon ensued.
"Hehehe let's go forward beautiful girl, let's play for a while" Klungsur said as he turned his Galih Asem Gada. One girl in red instantly drew her sword. Quietly Klungsur swung his Gada Galih Asem, retracing the opponent's attack.
Thrraannngggg!!
One woman in red immediately swung her sword towards the back of Klungsur who was fighting weapons with other women.
Whhhuuugggh...
Thriiiinngg!!
The slash of the sword heavily hit Klungsur's body, but what made the red-clothed beautiful girl bulge wide was her sword like it hit a rock. Klungsur grinned widely and turned around while throwing a hard kick at the belly of the girl in red who supported him.
Bhhuuuuugggh..
Auuggghhhhh!!
The girl in red immediately staggered backwards while holding her aching stomach. Klungsur quickly swung his mace towards the buttress, but the girl in red immediately crossed her sword to defend.
Dhhaasshhh!!
The girl in red clothes bounced while vomiting fresh blood. His friend quickly jumped towards Klungsur while swinging his sword towards Klungsur's neck.
Klungsur immediately dodged the slash of the sword, then using the handle of Gada Galih Asem he poked the back of the girl in red who attacked him.
Bhuuukkkhh!!
Ouuuggghhhh!!!
The girl immediately fell to the side of her friend who had already vomited blood.
On the other hand, Arya Pethak easily subdued the two women in red who ganged on her. In two ways they have fallen.
Meanwhile Anjani and Nay Kemuning who face Kekayi and Banawati are fighting fiercely. In 10 moves they have made Kekayi and Banawati vomit fresh blood.
Kekayi and Banawati quickly threw two small yellow balls towards Anjani. Seeing that, Anjani realizes their enemy is using poison.
Not yet Anjani warned Nay Kemuning, the student of Mount Ciremai College, directly smashed his right hand towards two small yellow balls.
Bllaaaaaarrr!!
The ball exploded and shattered spreading yellow smoke. The smoke was immediately inhaled by Nay Kemuning and Anjani who were trying to stay away. But late.
"Ra-venom weakens tena.ga..."
Nay Kemuning and Anjani immediately collapsed due to exposure to the poison that was thrown by Kekayi and Banawati.
Seeing that, Arya Pethak and Klungsur immediately darted towards Anjani and Nay Kemuning. Arya Pethak quickly slammed both hands towards the opponent.
Whhhuuuggghhh!!!
Two streaks of bright blue light rushed towards Kekayi and Banawati. The two women immediately jumped high into the air avoiding the attack from Arya Pethak.
Banawati and Kekayi looked at each other for a moment before taking out two nets made of red thread. They quickly threw a fish net at Arya Pethak who approached Nay Kemuning and Klungsur who were trying to help Anjani.
Whuutt!!
The rapid movement of Kekayi and Banawati made Arya Pethak and Klungsur caught by Jala Sukma, their flagship heirloom. They both struggled to escape. But one hard blow on the back of the head made them squash and faint in a mesh net.
The six red-clothed women smiled widely and immediately led the four of them towards the east.
Arya Pethak realized from fainting in a state tied to a rope that was hung on the wood roof of the building. His head is dizzy not playing. He shook his head a few times to let his dizziness subside. The handsome young man spread his gaze around the spacious room carefully. Klungsur, Anjani and Nay Kemuning were not there. Just a beautiful bed with a sprinkling of flowers, as well as fresh fruits neatly arranged on a brass bokor.
Although the room was tightly closed, he could hear the sound of footsteps approaching the bedroom door. Arya Pethak immediately closed her eyes, pura pura fainted again.
Krrriiiieeeeeeeeetttthhh!
The door of the room opened and a beautiful woman in red with a slender body and clothes that invited men's passion to see her, entered into the bedroom. The beautiful woman walked up to Arya Pethak and stroked Arya Pethak's cheek.
"Hemmmmmmm, you're really handsome.. Kekayi and Banawati really know what my taste is like.
Soon you will be in my arms. I believe you are able to satisfy my desires hahahaha", said the beautiful woman in red while laughing freely. He immediately turned his body and walked out of the bedroom.
"Who are you really?".
Hearing Arya Pethak's words, the beautiful woman in red immediately turned her head. After a moment of surprise, he immediately smiled widely.
"The couple is conscious, right?
Good thing, I prefer the ones that are crispy in bed than the ones like the hihihihi banana gedebok...
I am the Peacock Goddess Lembayung, ruler of the Valley of a Thousand Flowers. You're lucky young man, you'll soon fly me to the seventh heaven.
Oh, there's one more thing you need to remember. Don't try to escape from this place. The lives of the two girls and the lotus are in my hands. Anyway, that Cornstring Rope there's no way you can break it. So just surrender when you become my partner tonight hahahahahaha", Dewi Peacock Lembayung laughs loosely while walking out of the bedroom where Arya Pethak is tied.
With all his energy, Arya Pethak tried to break away from the bond but the rope just felt stronger.
As he was almost desperate to escape, a smile appeared on the handsome face of Arya Pethak. There was one hope that could help him get out of that place.
Ireng Dawuk.
