The Story of the Forecast Swordsman

Life Destiny

The tense atmosphere is still felt in Padepokan Kencana Pasupati. Burnt branches of charred trees littered the courtyard. Flakes of roofs and walls of houses were scattered everywhere.

Ki Soma rushed into the house to meet Satria to make sure the child was okay. His breathing was still stingy and his old body was exhausted after facing a great battle. The old man came in and knocked on the door of the room next to him.

"tok,tok,tok"

"Ni Dewi, open the door, everything is safe" exclaimed Ki Soma from outside half-screaming.

Goddess Kembang who was in the room was seen still afraid while hugging Satria the child. He hesitated to open the door. There was a disturbing suspicion inside his head that was blocking his intention to open the door. The middle-aged woman hugged tightly and did not allow Satria to open the door.

"Ni Dewi quickly open, this is me your father" cried Ki Soma from outside the door. From his face he looked extremely anxious and worried. Bad thoughts began to cross his head, but he soon drove away. After that, the grandfather began to be impatient. With a little bit of inner strength left he forced open the door of the room in the lock of his daughter-in-law.

"Brunk".

The wooden padlock that sealed the door from the inside was broken and fell. Ki Soma rushed in and soon found the Flower Goddess hugging her child.

"Ni Goddess, are you okay my son?" ki Soma asked in a hasty tone while checking things out.

"No, I'm just afraid of dad" replied the Goddess of flowers while crying in fear.

Seeing such circumstances, Satria also cried sobbing in the arms of her mother. Her tears trickled down and soaked the thin cloth that wrapped the body of Goddess Kembang. Ki Soma sat down resignedly on a wooden chair with a blank look and a tired face. The grandfather took a deep breath and then exhaled it into the air.

"It looks like Satria has to get out of here, this child we have to be safe and away from the clap" Ki Soma said as he looked at the faces of his son and granddaughter.

"Dad, where is Satria going?" asked Dewi Kembang while hugging her son with deep sobs.

"Ni Dewi, Satria I will train to be a swordsman in a secret place, so that he can protect himself" Ki Soma replied as he stroked his long white beard.

"Dad, does that mean I'm going to part with Satri? No father, Satria is still a child, she needs affection from her mother" said Dewi Kembang who disagrees with her father.

"If this boy continues here, then he will be the target of black magic and stealth. There will be many demons or bad people who will attack and target Satria" said Ki Soma who did not want his grandson to be the target of bad people. Ki Soma also thought of the people in the store who would become victims if anyone attacked.

"Dad, why is dad like this? I am not ready and not willing that Satria must go" Goddess Kembang cried as if thinking about her fate that would part with Satria. Her tears moistened her cheeks and made a sad atmosphere in the padepokan.

"Ni Dewi, the father promised to take care of her, because she is a special child given by the Gods, already when I have to train her" Ki Soma reassured his son.

"Don't father, don't take Satria" her son's cry went back hysterically splitting that afternoon. The goddess of flowers hugged tightly and kept her father out of reach. She kept crying and rejected all her father's ideas.

Ki Soma started to get confused and broke with charcoal while coaxing his stubborn son. He stepped out of the house just to catch his breath and enjoy the free air. He saw a sky that looked blue decorated with white clouds.

He recalled how he used to be forged and trained hard in that place. Without feeling the love of parents. Until his son was born he did not intend to train him to become a swordsman. From the look of his face, he seemed to regret his actions. Now he could only watch his daughter grow into a spoiled child. Tears began to flow between the wrinkles of his eye skin.

Long Ki Soma pondered looking ahead with a sad face. He was shocked with a weak voice calling out to him. Faintly sounded from the direction of the gate padepokan. Two people with nimble movements entered sneaking past several guards undetected. What an incredible science. Not yet had Ki Soma lost his astonishment, that fellow had kneeled before him.

"Although sir, we apologize for disturbing you, for entering by sneaking in the master's residence" said one of them. They were wearing black clothes and their faces were a little bit closed and barely visible. Ki Soma was astonished by their arrival.

"Gentlemen, who are the masters and what is the purpose of the gentlemen coming here?" ask Ki Soma astonishment.

Ki Soma immediately received the letter and drove them to meet Ki Pasupati. They rushed in following Ki Soma from behind. At that place Ki Pasupati sat down with Dewi Kembang and Satria.

"Rear, there's a letter from Prayudha to the kakang, there seems to be an important message" Ki Soma then handed over a letter to Ki Pasupati.

Ki Pasupati calmly read it and nodded her mark clearly.

"Tell Prayudha, this message has been well received" Ki Pasupati said and let the man go.

They were silent for a moment in the daydream of what they thought so they looked up and saw the king's daughter who lived in the temple.

"Mom, what's wrong with me, why'd she send a letter?" satria asked curiously.

"Your father is fine son" replied the Flower Goddess calmed Satria.

"Who is this, Mom?" satria asked again while pointing at the little girl next to Ki Soma.

"Oooo, that's your new friend son" his mother replied.

Ki Soma approached Ki Pasupati and asked her to speak with four eyes. While the king's daughter was still kept secret and secured in the room of the Goddess Kembang.

"Rear, it's time I had to train Satria in that place. The situation is very precarious, we have to make the prophecy happen" said Ki Soma began the conversation.

"Soma's back, with such urgent circumstances, I agree with the proposal of the leg. But in the letter we are also told to guard the king's daughter", replied Ki Pasupati.

"The back can keep the princess here, can't it?" ask Ki Soma.

"Certainly not as easy as you imagine Kakang Soma, the princess is the same as Satria" said Ki Pasupati.

"What do you mean by kakang?" Ki Soma asked in confusion.

"The back, the king's daughter is targeted by many enemies, if she is here, it will make it difficult for me" replied Ki Pasupati.

Ki Soma nodded, he already understood what he should do. The two of them rushed into the room of Dewi Kembang and had a discussion there.

"Ni Dewi, we have both decided to train Satria from tomorrow" Ki Pasupati asked permission to his son-in-law.

Hearing that, of course, Dewi Kembang became disapproved of the sullen face. He looked at his father and in-laws unhappily.

"How do you respond, Ni Dewi?" Ki Soma again asked the stubborn woman.

"If you insist, I will come" replied Dewi Kembang cynically forcing along.

Ki Pasupati and Ki Soma looked at each other with a resigned face to see the attitude of the stubborn Goddess Kembang. They understood that all he did was because he loved and loved Satria. Anything will be done so that Satria does not fall into the hands of the bad guys.

Meanwhile, in the border region of the Mandala Lion kingdom there have been small battles. Prayudha as Patih who leads the land and sea troops are on the front line. He seemed to be undaunted in the slightest by the opponent.
