"Where am I".
In his dreamland Rifki awoke in a place quite foreign to him, like a wilderness, he had never seen that place before, it was like a village in the past.
Rifki saw the figure of a young man who was chased by a horde of armed and sharp troops, the young man looked like he was suffering a severe injury from how he ran.
"Raden Kian!! Just stop!! You have betrayed the King, you better hand over the heirloom, before we finish you off!!".
"No!!! I'd rather die than give you this heirloom".
The young man called Raden Kian continued to run with his fast despite being seriously injured, suddenly an arrow shot towards him and managed to stick on his back, even so the young man continued to try to avoid the swarm of troops.
In a running state the young man continued to try to pull the arrow that had stuck in his back, after the arrow was pulled he began to drain all his strength to heal the wound.
Accidentally he was blocked from the front by a horde of other troops, with the forced young man had to stop his steps, Raden Kian was surrounded in various directions, he could not face them because his strength began to weaken.
"Raden, you'd better hand over the heirloom well, before we lose our temper and accidentally kill you".
"You want this heirloom, don't you? Then take it from me if you can!!!".
"You're not afraid of death at all, are you? Then don't blame us if we have to kill you".
"I'm not afraid of death, but rather I don't want to die in vain without trying to defend my life".
After saying that, Raden Kian immediately attacked the person closest to him first, as his spiritual power had weakened he was unable to pull the heirloom out of its sheath, the young man continued to fiercely attack until a lake was created that was red because of the blood flowing from his enemy's body.
In real life Rifki's body continued to sweat coldly from seeing such an event in his dream, he could not open his eyes at all like his petals had been exposed by a strong enough glue.
The war took so long and killed so many victims, it was not a war but a massacre to be exact, because a young man fought hundreds of heavily armed men.
Despite being severely wounded, nothing could defeat Raden Kian's martial ability, as if even so many troops were no match for him.
The fight was so fierce that it caused some deep incision wounds in the young man's body, his blood flowing profusely to wet the heirloom in his clothes. Suddenly the heirloom gave off a light so bright in a few moments, after the light began to dim can Rifki see the young man's body as if it would start stamina again.
"What happened to that young man?". The incident that happened created a big question mark in the head of Rifki at this time.
As his power began to fill again, Raden Kian began to rise and finish off all the troops who were chasing him, some time later the young man finally came out as the winner of a pile of corpses scattered along the streets.
With severe injuries the young man walked away from the place, Rifki continued to rush to chase and follow him from behind, until they arrived at a cave that was so vast, so wide, Raden Kian immediately entered the cave followed by Rifki behind him.
Raden Kian immediately did a hermitage to restore his energy that had been lost before, Rifki stood in front of him while staring at the face of the young man, who was, the young man seemed to be unable to see the figure of Rifki who was in front of him at this time.
After doing such a long hermitage, Raden Kian immediately got up from his tap because he was late to get his energy back, Raden Kian turned to the right and left so seriously, Rifki thought that the young man in front of him was able to feel the presence of Rifki at that place, but the assumption was wrong, the young man actually examined the cave.
"Like this place it's so safe for me to hide this dangerous heirloom".
The young man let out a white light from his chest, more precisely from his heart, with great difficulty and pain so deep, that he was finally able to let out the light even though he was again injured again.
"Mother's sacrifice will not be in vain, now our strength is alone who must protect this inheritance in this prayer, half of my strength will guard it from outside the cave".
The young man pointed his palm which contained a light to the heirloom that he took out from behind his clothes, slowly the heirloom began to disappear from Rifki's sight, after that Raden Kian directed his palms towards the sky in the cave, the power he had was slowly absorbed by the wall of the cave.
The incident did not last long before the young man fell on the ground and spewed fresh blood from his mouth, Rifki was so surprised to see the incident that he reflexively extended his hand to the young man in front of him at this time, but Rifki's body was completely unable to touch the young man.
Raden Kian sustained a deep wound due to his actions that kept releasing his strength to protect the place, the young man immediately wiped the blood coming out of his mouth using one of his fingers.
Raden Kian continued to hold his chest that felt so painful, the blood he vomited was so concentrated that the blood that had been red turned pitch-black. It can be seen that the young man was so weak, no matter how much pain he felt at that time, from the look of his face can Rifki feel how much pain the young man because of the actions he did.
The young man tried to neutralize his pain even though he would never be able to heal it, had he continued to expel all his strength his life might have disappeared just as his birth mother had.
After that, the young man came out of the cave and went around the cave, and build a village to cover the existence of the cave so as not to be suspected by people who intend to take it from the hands of the young man.
For years the young man lived so simply in a place far from the crowd, the longer the place he lived in began to be inhabited by some people, the more, Raden Kian began to teach the people in the place about how to grow crops.
Because the lack of knowledge at that time made Raden Kian explain to them in detail, it attracted the attention of other villagers to move to that place, and created a village in that remote place, he said, not without reason Raden Kian gave the name of the village with the name Red Rose village.
The rose symbolizes a woman who is so beautiful and meek but can injure her enemy with her duration, the elegance of a woman is like a royal princess that must be well guarded so as not to be easily fooled by the seduction of youth.
While Red is a symbol of courage to oppose the injustice that occurred in the era, red is the color of the blood of the troops who have fallen in his hands, there was no other choice the troops could choose but to obey the orders of their master.
The name of the village was not just because of the many roses in that place, but a story that had happened in that area, but most of the villagers only know that the name of the village was taken from the plants that thrive in that place.
After the establishment of the village, Raden Kian Jayaningrat introduced his name as Kuswanto in the village and served as the village head in that place, although he always held a strong attitude before all his people, but when he himself will not be able to cover his internal wounds, so that at that time Rifki can see that Raden Kian continues to vomit blood.
"Why these wounds are getting worse and worse, it seems I have to leave this village quickly to get imprisoned".
Raden Kian continued to hold his chest that felt so much pain, the more the day the worse the wound, Raden Kian immediately wiped the blood that was on his lips to clean it.
Rifki can see the meeting of Raden Kian and Rahayu in a garden owned by Raden Kian because of an accident, since the meeting the relationship between the two is getting closer, the whole village thought that Kuswanto had liked a girl in the village next door, and decided to marry her so he left the village.
Raden Kian handed over his position as village head to one of his citizens who he thought was most appropriate to preserve the village, after that Raden Kian immediately left the village followed by Rifki who was always behind him.
Instead of heading to the place where Rahayu lived, Raden Kian actually headed to the opposite place of the village, with Raden Kian staggering away from the Red Rose village because of his internal injuries that began to recur again.
Shortly thereafter Raden Kian lost consciousness and lay weak in a bush, because his anxiety to Raden Kian made Rahayu try to find the whereabouts of the lover so he was willing to leave his home.
After a long search, Rahayu finally found the whereabouts of Raden Kian who was lying unconscious, with great difficulty Rahayu moved Raden Kian's body to an old hut that had been abandoned by its owner and laid Raden Kian's body in that place.
"What happened to Raden Kian". Guman Rifkis.
Rahayu checked the body temperature of Raden Kian which slowly the land will feel increasingly hot, Rahayu immediately ran to find water around the place, after getting water, after getting water, Rahayu immediately tore off her lower shirt to compress Raden Kian's feverish body.
"Mas Wanto hang on, don't leave me".
Rahayu's cry suddenly broke instantly as Raden Kian's body temperature grew hotter as time went on, Raden Kian was still unconscious from his stupor, making Rahayu feel so worried about him.
Rifki approached the spot where Raden Kian was lying weakly to check his condition, but Rifki could not touch him at all because his body was suddenly transparent.
"Why can't I touch her at all, what's going on?".
Suddenly the tears of Rifki fell when he saw the weak body of Raden Kian who was in front of him, as blood splattered out of Raden Kian's mouth, the blood was so thick, the color was so intense, seeing the presence of blood made Rahayu surprised and immediately wiped it.
"What happened to you? Realize, don't leave me, I beg you".
Rahayu clasped Raden Kian's hand tightly, she did not want to lose her lover for long, the atmosphere inside the hut had enveloped Rifki's heart, Rifki can feel a deep sadness that is being felt by the female figure in front of him at this time.
"What should I do, Mas please tell me, I'll do whatever it is. hiks..".
Hearing the heart-wrenching cry made Raden Kian wake up from his stupor and begin to frown trying to open both eyes, when feeling the movement in the body Raden Kian made Rahayu feel so happy and began to wipe the tears that fell on her cheeks.
The frenetic eye area began to open beautifully, with Raden Kian weakly moving his hand to hold Rahayu's hand.
"Mas you're sober".
"Why are you here, Ayu? Akh...".
When Raden Kian tried to get up from his sleep at once his chest was so painful that he let out a sigh of pain, Raden Kian clutched his chest tightly, holding onto his chest, seeing that Rahayu immediately told Raden Kian to stay asleep in his position.
"I'm so worried about you, Mom, I'm afraid something's happened to you".
"Well, you shouldn't be doing this, you better go back home, don't mind me, I'll be fine".
"No, Mom, I don't want to go away from you".
"I'm sorry, all this time I wasn't honest with you, once you know the truth maybe you'll never want to see me again, I can't hide this for too long".
"What did you say, Mom? What truth do I not know?".
"I....". Raden Kian who was so hesitant to tell his true identity. "I am not a commoner, I am a prince who has betrayed my kingdom".
"What do you mean?". Rahayu was so surprised to hear that. "So Mas is Prince Kian? Forgive the servant who has sassy the Prince".
Hearing the truth immediately made Rahayu's heart as if it would be struck by a lightning big enough, how not, the person she loved so much was a Prince in a kingdom that was strong enough at that time, so Rahayu has felt sassy because of his behavior as if he would consider Kuswanto to be an ordinary people.
