THE SUNAN BODYGUARD

episode 6b: Kiai Wulung Sunggi So Muallaf

Pity felt nine students of the Sunan, saw Kiai Wulung Sunggi fell many times. His face was full of sweat.

Taking that short distance, long enough for Kiai Wulung Sunggi to arrive in front of Sunan Kembang Kuning or Rejo.

Once in front of him, directly Kiai Wulung Sunggi menjura respect, in a position sitting cross-legged.

His face, full of earth and sweat, bowed unmeasured before the sunan.

“Kanjeng Kiai, what is it exactly? Why does Kanjeng Kiai duck like that?”

“Pardon me, Kanjeng Sunan, I did this, because indeed I have to do it.”

“Iya, because what?”

“Because I already know, who is Panjenengan actually?”

“From whom?”

“Not from anyone?”

“Cannot be. Sure someone told.”

“Perhaps from a whisper, or from what I do not know.”

“Kanjeng Kiai, is not as ascetic-level as Jenengan, the doors of magic have opened, and of course the genengan know who comes to Jenengan. Can Jenengan tell us?”

“Sure. I do this, because I have a very strong belief, for some of the events I have experienced throughout my stay here.”

“Tell me. We will hear, and learn the lessons of living Jenengan.”

“Kanjeng Sunan's. I am a hermit. Guardians of kasekten science and science of the kingdom of Jenggala. I am the fifth heir as the guardian of this Jenggala science. If there is no complete successor of this whole science of Jenggala, then it all ends in me, when I die.”

All quiet.

“In the tapa brata, suddenly there was a person accompanied by a giant garuda bird, which went hand in hand. In front of me, he said his name was Prabu Airlangga. The father of the rulers of Jenggala and Daha. I also insist takdim.”

“He told me that the golden days of Jenggala and Daha should be resurrected again. I was appointed as a mission man who raised the glory of Jenggala, because I am the heir of science and science canoragan.”

“However, I asked, why should I?”

“Kanjeng Prabu Airlangga just said, this is the word of the Prabu.”

“I dare not argue, but I only rely on common sense. How could it be, I who have no bloodline from the Prabu carry out a mission that I feel impossible to do in this old body. Also I think, why Prabu Airlangga who died hundreds of years ago, just came to me. Why not come to King Jenggala himself, to give advice, to do this and that action, so that Jenggala does not collapse. To me, this is very strange. Could it be, awakening a great empire, with a science that I mastered alone?”

“For me, it feels impossible.”

All quiet listening.

“Prabu Airlangga came to me several times at different times. And one time, when Prabu Airlangga was giving me a message, came two tigers, which were just as big. Since far away, two tigers have been growling.”

“Annya, Prabu Airlangga and Garuda giant immediately pampit.”

As it turned out, these two tigers just passed me by, and passed into the interior.”

“Since then, Prabu Airlangga never came again. The more I increased my tapa brata, still, Prabu Airlangga did not come. I miss and miss her very much.”

“But, in between my turmoil, came the figure of a hermit. The body is jet, the legs are sharp. Even to be able to break a stone. I saw it myself. In front of me, he said, that between me and him were both ascetics. Only, he said, that my place will be in hell, while his place, there is still the possibility of entering heaven.”

“I asked why?”

“He replied, because I chose the path that does lead to hell.”

“Then, what road to heaven?”

“She replied, the road brought by the Cagak Tanah Jawa. The Javanese land pillar. Walisanga”

“I asked, who is walisanga?”

“He answered, warriors, hermits, and kings, who taught the true way to heaven.”

“I asked, how can I meet them?”

“He replied, all because of destiny. If I am destined for heaven, then I will meet one of them, or their disciples.”

“I asked, what are their students like?”

“He replied, I do not know the course of destiny. But, I know one of them, which is the person is bent, and the way he walks is limped. If indeed meet a person like this, then I was asked to ask for a lesson, the road to heaven.”

All flinched, including Sunan Kembang Kuning.

Sunan Kembang Kuning asked, “Who actually came that?”

“Yang came to me, claimed to be named Kiai Lembu Areng, from the crater of Mount Galunggung. For this reason, as soon as Kanjeng Sunan said, know Kiai Lembu Areng I had a chance to jerk and cry.”

“More Kanjeng Sunan says, that Kanjeng Sunan is stooped, and his walking ways are limped.”

Nine santri Sunan Kembang Kuning.

“Beliau said what? As far as I know, he is not very good. His knowledge is just honesty,” asked Sang Sunan.

“He said, that throughout life, I like to grow crops, but will never be able to pick the fruit. Because, who can deliver my plants to bear fruit is a figure called Sunan Bungkuk. He was walking, but he had incredible speed. He never showed his knowledge, even though he was very good at mandraguna. Learn to him, so that you can pick the fruit of the plant that I have planted all my life.”

“What exactly does Kanjeng Kiai plant?” tanya Sunan Kembang Kuning.

“I didn't plant anything. I just believe that humility will lead to altitude. I also don't believe in many gods in my religion. I only believe in one god, but I don't know his name. Although I am Hindu, and do all the Hindu ordinances, I do not worship Brahma, Shiva or Vishnu. But I worship one God, whom I do not know his name. I believe, this God whom I do not yet know, governs the whole universe.”

All listening.

“Tak long, after saying that, Kiai Lembu Areng said goodbye. But I stopped because I wanted to ask one thing. Kanjeng Kiai stopped, and nodded his head. To him, I asked, really who came to me was Prabu Airlangga and his mount garuda?”

“Kanjeng Kiai Lembu Areng replied with a smile. He asked me again, in your own opinion, what really comes to you is Prabu Airlangga. Thus Kiai Lembu Areng asked me.”

“What do Kanjeng Kiai answer,” ask Sunan Kembang Kuning.

“I replied, I feel, who came not Prabu Airlangga, because he should have gone to the kings of Jenggala and Daha, not me. Hearing my answer, Kiai Lembu Areng smiled. Then he left.”

Now, maybe the time has come for me to harvest what I have been planting. Let Kanjeng Sunan guide me to pick the fruit from which I have been planting,” pinta Kiai Wulung Sunggi.

“Okay, I want to teach what I teach these fathers. That is, the right path. But, I want to ask first, why do the birds die?”

“Kanjeng Sunan, about dead birds, it's none of my business. But I don't know who made him die. I just exert energy in alone, to collect the carcasses of the bird in one place, from a distance, so as not to scatter everywhere.”

“So, this bird died, not because of Kanjeng Kiai?”

“Not.”

“I am here just a brata, waiting for death or waiting for Sunan Bungkuk.”

“But, I really feel there is a strange vibration here, there is a strange smell of rancid as well.”

“Sunan, Kanjeng Sunan. Initially, we thought from the bird carcass, it was not.”

“I don't know why the bird died. I don't care why the bird died. What is clear is that this smell has been around for a very long time. In fact, since I settled in this temple,” said Kiai Wulung Sunggi.

Sunan Kembang Kuning indeed caught a strange gelagat. He felt a strange vibration coming from within the ground.

“Could it be this vibration that killed these birds?” thought Sunan Kembang Kuning.

“No, Kanjeng Sunan. I guess this is natural.”

“How long has it been, Kanjeng Kiai stayed here?”

“Since young.”

“Ki Sipang, how long did you study Jenggala here?”

“Since childhood.”

“What does Ki Sipang feel?”

“When I come out of this area, my breath feels relieved.”

“Besides?”

“I like nosy and easy quick tempered.”

“Kanjeng Kiai himself feel what?”

“I don't feel anything.”

“Good. I feel something strange here. Especially from the ground. Maybe it's good that I'll handle it. But, it doesn't matter. The important thing is, let's guide Kiai Wulung Sunggi to become a convert.”

Then, Sunan Kembang Kuning asked nine of his students to carry Kiai Wulung Sunggi, to the river, to bathe.

Not only that, Kiai Wulung Sunggi was asked to cut his long hair that was curled up. In addition, he was also asked to tidy up all his eyebrows, mustache and beard.

So, the nine students carefully carried Kiai Wulung Sunggi to purify themselves, with shampooing baths. For years Kiai WUlung Wunggi's body did not touch water.

Once touched by the water, Kiai Wulung Sunggi shivered the alang kepalang. For the sake of being a Muslim figure, Kiai Wulung Sunggi willing, even though he shivered coldly.

The entire foot on his body was rubbed with sand.

Slowly, the legs on his body began to erode.

Uniquely, once exposed to water, slowly, legs that can not be straightened, slowly begin to be moved.

Although not yet able to walk, the position of Kiai Wulung Sunggi's legs, can be straightened, like a normal person.

Kiai Wulung Sunggi, in a soaked shirt, was carried forward to Sunan Kembang Kuning.

They also sat in a circle.

Kiai Wulung Sunggi cried.

Slowly, Sunan Kembang Kuning gave advice, and explained what Islam is. Next, Kiai Wulung Sunggi read the creed.

“Alhamdulillah, Kanjeng Kiai has now become a Muslim. So, Kanjeng Kiai should no longer worship to the god in a Hindu way, but worship God through prayer, and tapabrata can be replaced by reading the wirid sentence tayyibah.”

Up to a day, nine students taught and served Kiai Wulung Sunggi, including performing congregational prayers.

That day, Kiai Wulung Sunggi really enjoyed his first day of being a Muslim.

When after the Isya prayer, Sunan Kembang Kuning asked these ten people, a bit away from the temple.

“I will find out, what caused the birds to die suddenly. Please do not disturb me,” pinta Sunan Kembang Kuning.

So, Kiai Wulung Sunggi was carried away.

All thumping.

Waiting, what will Sunan do.

Sunan Kembang Kuning sitting cross-legged.

Slowly, there began to appear rays of light around his body.

Dazzling.

All flabbergasted.

Kiai Wulung Sunggi. Although he mastered the science and canoragan Jenggolo, which is famous for the terrible, has never found a body glowing events like this.

This view is really enjoyed. Kiai Wulung Sunggi, did not open his knowledge at all. Indeed, when he was young, he heard that the only nyentric hermit who was cruel and frightening, his body could glow. He is the Sage of Swadaraya who lives in Mount Tidar. Kiai Wulung Sunggi, also heard that the only heir of this science is one prince from the kingdom of Mataram.

“True, this Sunan Kanjeng is a disciple of the Swadaraya Resi? If it is true, how great is the science of Kanjeng Sunan. Really, a limped path is not a hindrance at all. But, how can the science of Hindu incantation full of spell can enter into the self of Kanjeng Sunan who is Muslim?”

Despite not getting an answer, after all, Kiai Wulung Sunggi really enjoyed the scenery in front of him.

Sunan Kembang Kuning body has become fully incandescent.

Shapeless. Just a flash of light fluttering everywhere.

If you look at some of the movements displayed, really, it is invisible if Sunan Kembang Kuning is a figure who walks limped.

Nine santrinya, more and more dare not speak anything. Their mouths gaped with shock from the reeds of the gnarly.

Although they already thought that the science of Kanjeng Sunan Kembang Kuning is very high, however, they did not expect to have a body that can glow like this.

The movements of Sang Sunan are getting louder and harder to recognize.

One chance, an old body that only looked like a rolling fire jumped as high as it did. Before the foot rested on the ground, Sang Sunan threw a blow of energy in his twists into the ground.

“Blar!”

The sound of explosions.

“Out!” yelled Sang Sunan.

Nothing happened.

Silent.

The incandescent body of Sang Sunan did not dim.

The Sunan jumped again at his height, and repeated the blow to the ground twice.

“Blar!”

This time, the explosion was more intense.

“Out!” he shouted, with a loud voice.

Almost, Kanjeng Sunan jumped again to send a third time punch, but the ground that was stepped on slightly shook. Some stones fell from their place.

The ground began to stretch.

From the well hole not far from the temple, came out a snake as big as a coconut tree trunk.

Ten people are the fastest.

Slowly, they seemed to agree to begin to move further away.
