BMP 5: Stories of Old Friends
*Defender Red Lips (BMP)*
Since Joko Tenang had yet to return home, Parsuto ended up waiting after reporting his presence in the Little Sanggana Kingdom. Hearing the conversation that there is an old friend Prabu Dira named Parsuto came to see you, Kusuma Dewi then ordered the soldiers to call the guest.
How surprised Parsuto when he saw that the empress who called him was Kusuma Dewi. The reunion of the two friends was very familiar. Then Kusuma Dewi has a plan to give a surprise gift to Joko Calm. Therefore, when Joko Calm returned home with Empress Yuo Kai, Parsuto did not immediately appear. Then he was raised while in the Cold Room.
Currently, Joko Tenang, Kusuma Dewi and Parsuto are in residence on the outskirts of Telaga Fatara, a large lake whose edge is in direct contact with the back of the Palace.
A number of soldiers were standing guard some distance from their position that was busy enjoying the lake of twilight, because soon the sun drowned in the west.
“So you're married?” joko asked Calmly to Parsuto.
“Since two years ago. However, we have not been blessed with children,” replied Parsuto.
“I was too. Out of my seven wives, not one had any signs of pregnancy. Hahaha!” joko Calm said.
“Really I didn't expect you to have a lot of wives, Joko. And really I did not expect, Kusuma wants to share love with others,” said Parsuto.
“If I become the first wife, maybe I will not allow Joko to marry again,” said Kusuma Dewi by eliminating the formalities in mentioning her husband's name.
“Luckily you're not the first. If you were the first, Joko would not have recovered from her illness and you would never have been able to fuse in bed,” Parsuto said. Previously he had got a story from Kusuma Dewi why Joko can have many wives.
“Hahaha..!” joko Laughter Quiet rather long.
Inevitably, Kusuma Dewi also laughed lowly while embarrassed.
“So you want to stay with your wife in this kingdom?” ask Joko.
“At first I intended to live in this kingdom and live as an ordinary citizen, farming life. I am a warrior whose power is only what it is to protect myself. So I better enjoy life with my wife. He always needed me by his side. I heard from Surya, many warriors of Mount Prabu and the Eternal Night Forest who chose to be ordinary citizens rather than warriors,” Parsuto said.
“You don't want to be my bodyguard? I'll pay you high!” joko Calm said.
“Rawaiti needs me,” replied Parsuto. “Life is calm and happy, that's what I expected.”
“Alright, you may choose where to stay within this kingdom. I will give you a special sign that allows you to come to the Palace at any time,” said Joko Calm.
“Thank you, Gusti Prabu!” parsuto said as he went down on one leg.
“Wake up, no worries, Friend!” joko Calm said.
“You already know that your sister-in-law, that Surya Kasyara, is the lover of the woman who cut off your hand?” ask Kusuma Dewi.
“I don't know yet,” replied Parsuto rather surprised.
“But the daughter of the Duke of the Ruso Pond was already killed in our battle with the Blue Horse Horde half full moon ago. And now Surya Kasyara became the target of love for several female warriors,” said Kusuma Dewi.
“Maybe it's better. Because, if I meet Kayuni Larasati, of course I will have problems with my sister-in-law,” said Parsuto. “Oh yes, so the group that exterminated the Blue Horse Horde is you? That means, you betrayed the Blue Horse, Kusuma?”
“For the sake of love I betrayed,” said Kusuma Dewi with a glance at Parsuto.
“Thank God, it was love that could awaken you to stop joining the Blue Horse,” said Parsuto.
“Then, do you know where Curaina and Limarsih are?” ask Joko Calmly.
“I once met Limarsih, at that time he was a student of a swordsman. While Curaina was familiar with a prince from Walangan Kingdom,” replied Parsuto.
“Why are you parting ways?” ask Joko Calm down again.
“Our teacher Grandma Red Hair only bequeaths the middle level sciences, because indeed our ability has not been able to study the high level sciences. Different from you, Joko. You've been learning inner power since childhood, while we only learned at a big age,” said Parsuto.
“But such a pretext is not always true. Empress Nara can teach me a higher level of swordsmanship that is more powerful than the swordsmanship taught by Grandma Red Hair,” said Kusuma Dewi.
“Means I'm far behind you,” said Parsuto.
“Moreover I also have the Eye of Heaven Ring, just like the other empresses,” said Kusuma Dewi proudly.
“They managed to catch a big fish,” said Joko Tenang commenting on his warriors who were catching fish in the middle of Lake Fatara.
Kusuma Dewi and Parsuto immediately turned to look far into the middle of the lake.
“According to the Peacock Line, the fish in this lake are big, but dangerous as well. Therefore, they equip all the boats that we have with spear guns shooting,” said Kusuma Dewi.
“How many people are joining for lake field?” ask Joko Calmly.
“There are fifteen people. Princess Wilasin and Nyai Kisut joined the three pirates. Luring and Adi Manukbumi also joined. Plus five warriors from the Eternal Night Forest and the Three Mountains of Prabu,” replied Kusuma Dewi.
While in the middle of Lake Fatara, as many as four boats are fishing big fish. There were already two large fish that they managed to catch, one was the size of an adult human and another was the size of one and a half adults.
Gunfire in the form of a large iron spear becomes an effective weapon to conquer large fish. Such weapons are owned by every boat.
The fifteen men named themselves as the Sooty Ruler Army led by the Peacock Line, a former pirate woman who is said to be currently the lover of Surya Kasyara. However, the Evening News reported, Surya Kasyara was involved in a love scandal with several female swordsmen, one of whom was Sugigi Asmara.
“Umpan at meal!” shouted one member of the Sooty Ruling Force on the green color boat.
Indeed seen in the green boat, two warriors were holding a fishing line that stiffened firmly into the water. The third person on the boat quickly helped grab the fishing line.
Next, the boat moved in interest, but not too tight.
“Manuk! Hold shot!” shout Peacock Lines to Adi Manukbumi.
Adi Manukbumi who was in another boat, quickly jumped and ran in the air, then landed on the green boat. He quickly held a firing device whose arrow was an iron spear.
When the three boat crews were tug-of-war with fish, even the boat began to be carried away by the pull of fish that had not revealed its shadow in the water, Adi Manukbumi was so concentrated in aiming.
The other boat immediately moved to help the green boat.
“Inya visible! It looks! Hihihi..!” shouted Smile Dusk tense but happy while pointing into the water. He laughed loudly and happily. Smiling Dusk was a beautiful girl who still looked young. His voice was like a child's voice and was very easy to laugh. She was the woman known as Princess Wilasin.
In the depth of the water is seen appear the shadow of a large fish that swim nimble.
In the green boat, Adi Manukbumi had already clocked his shot into the water. Similarly Nyai Kisut who was in the yellow boat with Senandung Dusk. Nyai Kisut is a young female swordsman who is physically like a grandmother. He is the loyal bodyguard of Senandung Dusk.
Nyai Kisut and Adi Manukbumi were already aiming into the water, but the big fish in the water were so agile without escaping from the large hook eye snares.
While others just monitor, because their distance is a bit far.
The set! The set!
At the time the position of the fish was in a legible movement, Adi Manukbumi shot his iron spear into the water. Following a shot by Nyai Kisut.
Apparently, Adi Manukbumi and Nyai Kisut shot on target.
“Yeee!” their men simultaneously. (BH)
