The Story of the Forecast Swordsman
Satria Manik Kencana
Prayudha at that time who led the group across steep valleys and steep hills. The group consisted of fifty strong soldiers under the leadership of Ki Punta and Wijil. Prayudha as the supreme leader was in front riding the white horse Si Mega Lemat. In flank by Ki Punta Dan Wijil, they broke through the wilderness in the valley of Mount Pasupati.
The wind began to blow hard, a sign that they had reached the hills named Bukit Lempang because the hills have a sloping peak and flat. The day was getting blistering and Prayudha as the leader gave his intention to rest.
"Punta, Wijil come here, immediately order our soldiers to rest!” prayudha exclaimed from his horse.
"Okay, sir, we will do your command", replied Punta and Wijil.
They immediately gestured for rest for all the soldiers. Some were chosen to stand guard around the hills.
"Please lord, all the soldiers have rested, some have already occupied the guard post" Ki Punta told Prayudha.
"Well then, the trip is still only half a day, say y'all!” prayudha.
"Alright sir, I beg you", Punta saluted and returned to his army.
In the middle of the rest, Prayudha enjoys the view from the top of the hill. He smiled looking towards the south where the Amuk Beach is so beautiful in which became the naval leaning place of the Mandala Lion Kingdom. While Kangin Hill stands firmly in the east as if it is a fortress that always guards the Kingdom from enemy attacks. While the western region is rather sloping and fertile, there is a place to grow crops for the inhabitants of the Mandala Lion Kingdom, still lucky there is Bukit Anda Kosa who gave the fort from the west. While the North direction there is Mount Pasupati, this is more than enough to survive if there are enemies who attack.
He pondered for a long time while enjoying the natural beauty bestowed by the Creator on all his creations. Suddenly he remembered his son and his wife who were waiting for him. Prayudha missed them so much.
"Punta, Wijil immediately prepare the troops, we will leave now!” prayudha's orders to Punta and Wijil his loyal servants.
"Okay sir, we will immediately prepare an army" Punta and Wijil said, saluting Prayudha.
They immediately prepared their troops and horses, some of the troops on foot while giving strict guard from behind.
Forces consisting of spear and sword troops and archer troops took their respective positions. Seeing that the army was ready, Punta immediately reported to Prayudha.
"Please my lord, the troops are ready to depart" Punta reported to Prayudha saluting.
"Well, we're leaving" said Prayudha from on a gallant horse.
The small group immediately departed to continue their journey to Padepokan Kencana Pasupati. The journey is more tiring because of the steep terrain they take. A small, winding road full of rocks. As well as the limit of wild animals that can interfere with the journey.
The sun began to rise to the west and the light dimmed along with the arrival of the entourage at the border. The border was marked by a large rock that crossed and cut the river. The border is called the Stone of Flute. Because the stone is large and transverse in the stream so that when we cross the river we do not need to use a bridge.
Prayudha smiled looking upstream the river has been seen the roof of the paddle and the pennant dangling high up. Prayudha rushed his horse Ki Mega Lemat to walk in followed by the entire squad.
In an instant the group had arrived in front of Padepokan Kencana Pasupati. They were welcomed by everyone who was in the store. Ki Pasupati seems so happy with the presence of Prayudha.
"My son Prayudha, I miss you" said Ki Pasupati approaching Prayudha and hugging her tightly.
"I'm fine Dad", said Prayudha as he returned his father's embrace. They were crying and crying at that moment.
"Dad, where's my wife and son? I can't wait to see them", Prayudha asked Ki Pasupati.
It was heard that Dewi Kembang was joking with her baby son. She was seen holding her baby affectionately. In the room, Dewi Kembang was only accompanied by a servant of Juminten. He was so painstakingly serving every will of the Flower Goddess.
"Dinda Dewi, Kakang came home to see you, Prayudha said as she approached Dewi Kembang who was still busy with her baby.
Hearing the distinctive voice of Prayudha Dewi Kembang immediately turned his head and smiled happily. Her tears were dripping from being moved. Quickly the baby in his carrier was handed over to Juminten.
The Flower Goddess ran up to Prayudha while hugging her.
"Kanda Prayudha, I kangen kanda" said Dewi Kembang as she sobbed sobbing sobbing. Understandably they have long been separated since Dewi Kembang pregnant. They hugged tightly to let go of the homesickness they had been craving for months.
"Dinda, where's our son, is he in good health?" asked Prayudha who was impatient to hold her child.
"Juminten, come closer here!" fun Goddess of flowers.
"Okay Madam" said Juminten approaching as he handed the baby he was carrying to Prayudha.
Prayudha was so amazed to see the good looks and the aura of his son. She was so happy to hold her baby that she forgot she was tired after a long trip.
"Dinda Dewi, what'd you name our son?" prayudha asked his wife Dewi Kembang.
"Kanda, Dinda does not want to mention her name, Dinda want Kanda who gave the name", said Dewi Kembang.
"Ohhh so yes, well kanda will give him a name", answered Prayudha while thinking of a name for his son.
"What if Satria, does Dinda agree?" prayudha asked his wife.
"Too short Kanda, Dinda wants a long one", said Dewi Kembang with its potency.
Prayudha was bewildered by Ki Pasupati and quickly offered her a name.
"Prayudha, let's name him, Satria Manik Kencana. Do you agree?" tanya Ki Pasupati asked for the consent of his son and daughter-in-law.
"Dad, is there a meaning behind the name?" prayudha asked curiously.
"Of course my son. Satria means knight, Manik means egg and Kencana means gold" replied Ki Pasupati.
"So Satria Manik Kencana has the meaning of knights born from the golden egg of the Gods" continued Ki Pasupati again.
Prayudha and his wife finally agreed with the name and the name was formalized with a sacred ceremony for the baby. Since then the baby was officially born with the name Satria Manik Kencana. With a gallant stature like a knight and a golden aura that always emanated from his body. The people in the temple always called him Satria.
A week has passed, Prayudha is in the padepokan accompany his wife to take care of his son, now the time has come he will return to duty to the Lion kingdom Mandala. He will soon be leaving his wife, because his retirement has run out.
Just in the morning of a clear day Prayudha set out to leave the padepokan accompanied by fifty formidable warriors. It is not told how sad Goddess Kembang is in living again in loneliness. They hugged each other long enough and Prayudha promised to visit every two weeks. Once satisfied they took off their arms and wiped each other's tears. Prayudha also left the padepokan with a heavy heart.
