The Sky Clever

What happened to Ratih

Meanwhile somewhere else

A white horse that looked to be in the middle of being driven quickly entered the border area of the Lightning Fire Sect. The rider is a male‐boy about fifty years old. She was beautifully dressed made of fine silk materials and embroidered with gold thread. His long hair was freely decomposed which was whipped in the wind.

The man thumped his horse even firmer, until the dust of‐dust that was billowed by the legs of the horse increased the number that flew in the air.

Not one bit did he slow down his horse's run despite already entering the bustling city center.

That matter of course attracted the attention of everyone who crowded the main road leading to the fire lightning sect. But it seemed that no one dared to reprimand, let alone to stop the speed of that person's horse, which was none other than Guruh Sujiwo the elder of the lightning fire sect.

The horse ran like it was flying because it was so fast.

"Hurry to open the door" exclaimed Guruh Sujiwo, when his horse was almost at the gate which was about twenty spears away.

Hearing the loud scream from Guruh Sujiwo the gatekeeper immediately opened the door made of thick and hard teak wood.

A squeaking sound rang out as the gate opened. And without slowing down his horse's run, Guruh Sujiwo directly barged into the wess.., while the two gatekeepers could only shake‐ shook his head just to see the behavior of their sect elders.

"Hwuup.....!!!"

The man, who was about fifty years old, immediately jumped down from the back of his horse as soon as he reached the front porch of a large and spacious house.

Around the courtyard were several people in uniform and carrying long spears standing in line and saluting Guruh Sujiwo.

Guruh Sujiwo continued to step in haste‐hastily up the stairs to the front porch which led to a spacious front porch with pillars‐big pillar supporting the roof.

His steps continued to be swayed across the porch that was lined with shiny white marble stone.

Arya Lembayung was astonished by her father's behavior that looked like a person who was not sane.

"Where's Daddy the violet?" tanya Guruh Sujiwo with a breath of hunting.

"Grandpa is now in the backyard of "father Arya Lembayung said.

"What's the father why the rush so much" shouted Arya Lembayung .

Guruh Sujiwo did not have time to answer his son's question, without saying anything ‐apa, Guruh Sujiwo immediately stepped in to further accelerate his path.

With wide strides and haste‐hast Guruh Sujiwo

crossing the wide and very spacious room with a tense face.

Soon he reached the backyard where his father Balung Waja was.

"Dad.." cried Guruh Sujiwo.

Balung Waja who was meditating immediately opened his eyes as soon as he heard the screams from Sujiwo's thunders.

Guruh Sujiwo immediately approached his father and immediately sat down beside him.

"There's what Sujiwo why you're such a doormat" his father Ki Balung Waja said in astonishment.

Guruh Sujiwo took a deep breath several times before answering his father's question.

"There are two important news of father" said Guruh Sujiwo with breath still hunting.

"What news is Sujiwo quickly said" asked Ki Balung Waja impatiently.

"Father must know with Poison West and ki Lukito who has the nickname of the old demon from Mount Lawu right" said the thunder Sujiwo.

"Of course, who does not know about the two of them a powerful figure whose name has been famous throughout the continent, indeed what with the two of them "said Ki Balung Waja.

"They were both dead five days ago father and....

"There's no way you can't make up Sujiwo's story, I'm sure that two people they're not random people 'cause you know it's hard for who to match the pain of those two old shops "said Ki Balung Waja really do not believe in the words of Guruh Sujiwo.

"Listen first my explanation father, according to the news that I heard while in a tavern they were both killed at the hands of the elders of the sky sect "said Guruh Sujiwo.

"Killed at the hands of the elders of the sky sect, you mean they both died at the hands of Jaka so "pronounced Ki Balung Waja.

"Who else if not him" said Sujiwo's thunders as if lazy mouth called Jaka's name because he still holds a grudge against him.

"It is difficult to believe that the two famous martial world figures were killed at the hands of a young man who was still snotting it" Balung Waja said, shaking his head.

"I'm not sure I'm sure either, but after where people talk about it, I'm more convinced that the two people are really dead" Sujiwo said.

"Mmmm..it seems that at this time Jaka will be a threat as well as a challenge for top black figures" muttered ki Balung Waja.

"Then about the second news what is Sujiwo "asked Ki Balung Waja.

"It's about the map dad, according to rumors that the map is now here on the continent and I plan to hunt him down" Sujiwo said.

"Impossible, how can the map now be on this continent Guruh Sujiwo, say clearly "pronounced ki Balung Waja.

"Regarding how the map is here I don't know many fathers, but according to the news I heard it was so if the map really existed on the continent "said thunder Sujiwo.convince his father.

Ki Balung Waja seemed silent for a moment, he was digesting the speech from Guruh Sujiwo, he thought it was very unreasonable if suddenly the map was now in the North continent.

"Sujiwo how do you think the news is true or not, if I think it is impossible "asked ki Balung Waja.

"I think it could have been true father, because Jaka was also a disciple of the North Star sect, too,so the possibility of him coming here because the location on the map is around this area father" said thunder Sujiwo explained to his father about his thinking.

Ki Balung Waja seemed to hear the words of his son.

" it does make sense that the map is in the North of this continent considering Jaka there is a disciple from the North star sect "mumbled ki Balung Waja in the heart.

" But it's useless sujiwo if the map is still in the hands of jaka we can not do anything, he said,you still remember about the incident in the sky sect yesterday how Sinjung Wanara and the Queen of poison were killed in her hands ,I'm still lucky to be able to escape from that place as soon as possible if not sure our lives have been lost" said Balung Waja reminded of the incident at that time.

Guruh Sujiwo lost his spirit immediately hearing the father's words, it is true as long as the map is still in Jaka's hands then it is impossible for him to snatch the map from his hands.

"Is it true there is no other way to seize the map at once to take revenge on Jaka's father "asked Sujiwo thunder while thinking.

Ki Balung Waja took a deep breath, hearing Guruh Sujiwo's words, actually Ki Balung Waja had not thought of revenge again after just hearing the western poison and the old devil died at Jaka's hands,but for the sake of Guruh Sujiwo forced him to rekindle the fire of vengeance.

"Huh.. Listen sujiwo with the ability of both of us is indeed impossible for us to match Jaka, it has been proven at that time, the only way that we can get revenge is to ask for help Ranapati Sujiwo"ki Balung Waja.

"I mean our father asked for help from uncle Ranapati who is now imprisoned in the mountain Kemukus "asked Guruh Sujiwo.

"Yes, you have to ask him for help, that's the only way "say ki Balung Waja.

"I doubt father, whether uncle Ranapati will help us" Sujiwo said with doubt.

"Why isn't Arya Lembayung the only niece and her favorite, I'm sure she would want to help us if she knew Arya Lembayung had been seriously injured by a jaka" said Ki Balung Waja.

Guruh Sujiwo was silent a thousand languages hearing the advice of his father, a sense of doubt and doubt flashed through his mind .

he was not sure if his uncle Ranapati would help him because his uncle had long been isolated from the martial world.

After thinking so, finally Guruh Sujiwo also believes that Ranapati would want to help him to take revenge on Jaka and the opportunity to reach the map becomes more real.

"Well as soon as possible I will go to the mountain of Kemukus to meet uncle father" said Guruh Sujiwo immediately got up and went inside.

"Remember Sujiwo invite and Arya Lembayung because she is the key to your success" messages ki Balung Waja while staring at the departure of his son.

"I know it's dad" said Guruh Sujiwo.

...----------------...

Meanwhile in the North Star sect.

The atmosphere in the North Star sect looked very busy, the disciples of the Sky sect who were sent by Jaka seemed to be busy working together to build and repair every house that was damaged by the fire.

Some cut down trees some carry wood, some are binding wood, just like their busyness.

Melati and Goddess Pandan Arum also appeared there to maintain the safety of the students who were working, they were always ready to be on alert if suddenly there was an attack coming.

Ratih who felt bored did nothing he chose to go to the river to expel his boredom.

Almost a full day Ratih sat contemplating on a rock by the river. Part of his legs were swaying into the river, toying with the ripples of water flowing clear from its source at the top of the mountain. Since sunrise, until dusk now he still looks at home sitting contemplating on a rock that juts into the river. His gaze was straight staring at the rocky riverbed.

It seemed like there was something the girl was thinking about because it had been a few days that she looked gloomy and not cheerful as usual.

"Ratihi.."he heard a voice calling to him.

Ratih turned his head when he heard his name being called towards the direction the voice came from.

“What's jasmine "ask Ratih.

“From this morning I was looking for you Ratih I didn't know that you were here "say jasmine.

"I'm bored of it so I came here" said Ratih.

"Yes I also feel a little bored also in this place, but for the sake of carrying out the orders of bored elders do not get bored ya have to want" said jasmine.

"You're right jasmine but why until now Jaka has not even arrived here Jasmine I feel worried" said Ratih with a look down the river.

"Possibly the elder there is an obstacle in the path of Ratih, what else is currently people are in an uproar looking for the map "say Melati.

"Don't do what happens to Jaka when he says "Ratih.

"You don't need to worry about elder Ratih, even if there is an elder barrier, you can definitely overcome it "say jasmine calmly.

"Let it be so I still can not calm Melati before jaka is here "said Ratih.

Jasmine took a deep breath, she knew that the relationship between Ratih and Jaka was so close, so she could tell that Ratih was always worried about her.

Unbeknownst to them both, there were two pairs of eyes watching them from afar and the two pairs of eyes were Sapta Darma and Nawang Sari.

Very carefully they both watched the jasmine and the chatty Ratih movements.

"Who do they think Sapta Darma feels like I've never seen them" said Nawang Sari.

"It looks like they are people from far away Nawang, I have also never seen the two girls before" Sapta Darma said.

Nawang Sari and Sapta Darma continued to watch over the two of them, quietly Sapta Darma admired Ratih's beauty and jasmine so that the eyes kept staring intently without blinking.

"Sapta Darma are we going to continue to approach them" asked Nawang Sari.

but Sapta Darma did not immediately say Nawang Sari's words because he was cool looking at jasmine and Ratih.

"Saptas... Sapta Darma" said Nawang Sari repeatedly.

Deess.... !!!Nawang Sari also hit the back of Sapta Darma because he was so upset.

"saduh.ada what Nawang Sari"sap Sapta Darma.

Nawang Sari stared intently at Sapta Darma as if he wanted to swallow it round and round.

"That's why if someone talks it" said Nawang Sari with annoyance.

"Yes sorry.sorry, I paid close attention so I did not hear when you spoke" Sapta Darma said .

"Listen to Sapta Darma, do we need to go forward again to approach them" asked Nawang Sari repeating his words earlier.

"Alright come on" said Sapta Darma.

When they want to move forward suddenly they are surprised by the presence of Goddess Pandan Arum between Ratih and jasmine it, so they immediately cancel the intention.

"it was not Dewi Pandan Arum, so apparently they were both friends of his friend "sapta Darma said.

"It just so happens that we don't have to bother to get close to them" Nawang Sari said.

"Iya Nawang, if Dewi Pandan Arum is among them means that the treasure map of Karun is now definitely in the hands of Dewi Pandan Arum, I am sure it is" said Sapta Darma.

"Well, let's get out of here and let's report to elder Kalapati that the map is now here "said Nawang Sari.

"Well, answer Sapta Darma.

Then the man went from there with a heart , even though their distance is far apart they need to do that because they know that the ability of Dewi Pandan Arum is very high so that the attitude of the heart is needed.

Once in safety Sapta Darma and Nawang Sari also accelerated his steps towards the place where their horses were tied and rushed back to the Fire Wind sect.

"We should go inside see the sun has started to sink "said Dewi Pandan Arum reminded.

"Right what Dewi Ratih said let's go back to the sect now "say jasmine.

"You two go back first I still want to enjoy the sunset "said Ratih while staring at the red hue on the western horizon that afternoon.

"Alright then, let's return our Goddess "jasmine rhyme.

Finally jasmine and Pandan Arum Goddess also left Ratih alone on the river bank.

"If there was a fool here would have been another atmosphere, but I feel now it's getting further away from him" said Ratih still coolly staring at the sun that gradually began to sink it.

Ratih felt far from Jaka it is not without reason because since the presence of Goddess Pandan Arum in the sky sect since then also Ratih rarely together with Jaka ,because Jaka more often go with Dewi Pandan Arum than himself,

One day he thought that Goddess Pandan Arum would take Jaka away from him, but then he threw such thoughts away, because he was aware that Jaka was a sect elder who was entitled to be owned by everyone including Dewi Pandan Arum and Ratih was aware of it.

Huuuuff sounded Ratih take a deep breath, like something was clogging inside her chest at the moment, which felt tight due to a feeling that she herself did not know what it was feeling.

When the sun really sank, Ratih immediately moved from that place.

But suddenly a shadow came to him and.....
