The Thousand Mask Warrior

Jaka Lelana's

“What do you mean, Jayaseta?” ask Narendra full of questions. Hearing Siam and Ireng's report certainly made him and Katilapan wonder.

“Many reasons why we are confused by this request of yours. First, you're afraid of water. That's obvious. Second, this service moves away from the problem, not closer to it. Third, our main goal is to go to Siam to meet Khun Wanchay for Dara Cempaka. That's why the sooner we get there, the sooner the business is done. By doing that strange desire of yours, we will considerably slow down the journey,” continued Narendra.

Jayaseta fixed her headband. “That's why I need your help, ladies and gentlemen. We will not interfere with this journey. We'll buy one of their boats and then drive overland after I get the news and explanations of the people with those boats. Not even you can deny your suspicions during this trip, can you? Believe me, this service will still falter later. There's a big plan in place for us, especially me. Or maybe I'm just a bully point in a bigger plan seeing a lot of powerful parties,” Jayaseta said.

“But, sir Jayaseta. What about princess Dara Cempaka?” cut Siam.

Jayaseta turned towards the wife who was still looking at him with a faint smile. “For the sake of Cempaka we must do this, Siam. On the river I can't do much. My ability is limited by my weakness. How will I protect Dara Cempaka and help us all?” jayaseta.

The bed approached. He folded his arms in front of his chest. “You sure about this, Jayaseta? We are not here just to follow your will. Indeed we join willingly, but we need a strong reason over ...”

“You're actually sure of me, Kakang Katilapan. You know how complicated it is to live as a warrior and a wanderer. I am not a man, a warrior without direction, single-handedly wandering everywhere. I live with a purpose, or at least have some business to do. But, what you want to say, the world will not let the life of an empty swordsman leaping and without meaning. I've been splashed and wallowed in battle and blood. I don't know what the end of the story and story will be like

this life of mine, I have to do it,” Jayaseta replied at length.

Narendra returned Katilapan's gaze and then approached Jayaseta. He stood beside the bed and also folded his hands in front of his chest. “You sure, Jayaseta? Frankly, I have no problem with all your decisions, but only when you really want to,”.

Jayaseta did not look at his legs anymore. He was busy preparing his luggage that was not much and checking his equipment, including fixing his clothes and headband. “You know my answer, don't you? Don't pretend, I also understand that you are actually waiting for this opportunity,” said Jayaseta coldly.

Inevitably Jayaseta's answer hit the hearts of both his brother and Jayaseta's best friend. The two nodded wide and agreed. This then makes Siam and Ireng more confused.

Narendra approached the two. “As you have heard, Jayaseta is a swordsman. It cannot be far from danger. It will be wrong and violate destiny if it avoids problems and challenges. We don't really know what's going on behind this, but I hope you believe that with Jayaseta, we'll get the answer. Who knows, we have been appointed by the Owner of life to dismantle all the bad things that happen in this country, or in the country where we are. Maybe they are related,”.

Siamese who was initially confused, slowly showed twinkling in his eyes. Being one part of the journey of the Thousand Mask Warrior is not an honor? After years of wandering in the ocean, becoming a crewman, being a downstairs person, he can now be the most important part in the life journey of a great figure in the land of Java, he can now be the most important part in the record of the journey of life of a great figure in the land of Java, nusantara even reached the country of origin of one of his parents.

Ireng who stood next to his best friend was like successfully reading the mind of Siam. He looked at her for a moment, then shook his head. “Good, good, Siam. We'll just follow Jayaseta's will. And please remove that face. Do not overdo it and hope that we will get the glory, glory and our name will become the most famous later. We have agreed that this journey is a form of devotion. Not only to Mr. Jayaseta, but to the Life Giver himself,” Ireng said.

Siam laughed softly then nodded. “You have always been my best friend, Ireng. We'll face it all together, won't we?”
