Crown Prince Sanggana
First 13: Interrogation and Longing
*The Adventures of the Crown Prince (Pertamak)*
“Aaakr ..!” banok's Bengal scream was so tight when Prabu Banggarin's poisonous nails stabbed his left thigh. Although the pierced only the left thigh, but the pain felt to all the nerves.
“The Dark Poison of the Grave will quickly creep up. First he'll kill your maleness, then poison all the organs in the stomach, then attack the heart. Your suffering will be finished by tomorrow morning,” Prabu Banggarin told the traitor in front of him, Bengal Banok.
While the officials of the Kingdom of Baturaharja and the Kingdom of Sanggana Kecil and the Flower Guard troops watched from a rather distant position. They gave the opportunity to Prabu Banggarin to resolve his anger to his confidants so far. He was free from the shackles of the rope of light belonging to Empress Ginari.
“Aakk!” erang Bengal Banok felt the torment of pain given by the nail poison Prabu Banggarin.
“You can only name one person behind you, who currently cannot save you from death, Bengal!” his Prabu Banggarin.
“I will not ... betray. Aakk!” bengal Banok said while groaning in pain, looking at the veins on his face for months, showing he was enduring tremendous pain.
“Stupid!” snapped Prabu Banggarin then clasped his right hand.
Plaque! Bdak!
A slap as hard as a fried immature cracker landed on the face of an already bloody Bengal Banok. To the extent that the side of the man's head was slammed on the ground of the courtyard of the house of Mahapatih Duri Manggala.
“To the kingdom that has lived you all this time you can betray, but to the one who plunges you into a despicable death you do not want to betray him,” said Prabu Banggarin.
“Commander Jerky Boyo!” shouted Prabu Banggarin calling.
“Hamba, Gusti Prabu!” sahut Panglima Dendeng Boyo from where he stood while kneeling.
“Speak the punishment for traitors!” the Prabu Bangarin Order.
“Punishment died various ways, Gusti Prabu!’ replied Commander Dendeng Boyo loudly.
“What else?” ask Prabu Banggarin again.
Mendelik Commander Dendeng Boyo. He did not answer immediately because last night he did not reread the subjects today. As a commander, if the wrong answer can be ashamed of himself up to three derivatives.
“Eee …. All his family were also considered traitors and should be put to death all!” shouted Commander Dendeng Boyo finally, after his mind had blank.
Shocked Bengal Banok heard the reply of Commander Dendeng Boyo. At the same time, the punishment for traitors is the death penalty, but does not include large families.
“At least you can save your family from death, Bengal,” said Prabu Banggarin. Then he said again in a flat tone, “Listen to me. Nyai Kisut has been trailing Draga Beetle. Before you were snatched up, Nyai Kisut had revealed who the person behind you was. Whether you admit it or not, I already know who the duke is behind you. However, I just want to hear from your mouth directly that name is called.”
Struck by a pair of Bengal Banok eyes heard the name “adipati” called. That means Prabu Banggarin really bagged the name of the mastermind of the betrayal.
“But ... I beg .. Gusti Prabu not to kill my family. They ... no .. guilty,” said Bengal Banok disjointed like a signal under the bridge. He said the body was still curled up on the ground with blood continuing to flow out of its wounds.
“I will break my promise if Gusti Ratu Wilasin succeeds in killing you,” said Prabu Banggarin.
“People who ... pay me.. and Draga Beetle is ... Adipati ... Loss Segila,” said Bengal Banok who ended up mentioning one name.
“You see, I'm not surprised. That means I'm not lying, I already held that name before you mentioned it. However, I want to know the reason behind your betrayal, Bengal,” said Prabu Banggarin who had previously received a report from Nyai Kisut.
“Hamba .. don't know. Slave only ... tempted very payment .. high,” said Bengal Banok.
“You are indeed a kepeng eye, Bengal. Even in precarious conditions, you even plundered the royal treasures. All right, your family will be safe from punishment. Only you will bear your own crime. Enjoy the fruit you plant,” said Prabu Banggarin.
Crass!
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the residence of Mahapatih Duri Manggala there is a happy atmosphere between a student and his teacher who has long been separated. Smiles continued to expand on the faces of the two, beautiful faces with old faces wrinkled and saggy.
“Actually all forgotten, Master. Gusti Prabu Dira, Empress Guru and the other empresses recalled good memories, including of Guru. The last teacher met me at Little Sanggana about seven years ago. Although only a few meetings, but I remember Master's face. That's why I immediately recognized Master among the troops of Baturaharja,” said Empress Ginari to Advisor Ranggasewa with a smile so sweet.
“Entah .. how long has it been, last Master saw you smiling this sweet, Ginari. Hahaha!” ranggasewa said then laughed lightly. He was so happy to see the sweet smile of the student he had raised as a baby.
The business of hugging tightly they had just vented. Now we share a story that has not been told much.
“Your devotion has increased considerably, although it is difficult to find the sciences that I have taught before. However, your flying talent is still very strong. Most importantly, I turned out to lose the person I love.”
“Hihihi!” tawa Empress Ginari. “Guru's Empress was very good at guiding me. He's very powerful. As if his magic is inexhaustible.”
“But ... are you happy?” ask Ranggasewa.
“Very happy, Teacher. I feel very privileged. Everyone loves me so much. Sometimes I'm like their little sister, when I'm older. Hihihi!” replied the Ginarai Empress then laughed crisply.
“Hahaha!” laughter Ranggasewa.
“How about Master?” ask back Empress Ginari.
“It can be said the same as you, Ginari. The teacher also kept trying to catch up. Even though it is old, it must be spirit. However, as a parent, I'm not as excited as you.”
“Teacher must find a companion in life so that there are friends and not lonely,” said Empress Ginari.
“Weleh is!” pekik Ranggasewa was shocked.
“Hihihi ..!” The shock of his teacher made Ginari laugh loudly again crisp. Then he said, “There was still me accompanying Master, but now I am busy accompanying my husband. Do not let the age stop the affairs of romance, Master, because love is a matter of the heart, not just a matter of body.”
“Hahaha ..!” This time Ranggasewa who laughed out loud heard the teaching of his student. “Girl who used to be very cold towards men, is now very good at talking matters of the heart. Hahaha!”
“Ah, Teacher laughs at me,” header Permisuri Ginari.
“How can a person as me still be able to flirt, let alone shake the bed?” ranggasewa.
“Teacher is now an official. Let alone looking for women who are both old, looking for young women is not difficult. As long as the norms are recognized in the culture of our society. Parents also deserve to be happy and feel love, Guru.”
“Hahaha! Yes yes yes. Looks like I agree.”
“So Teacher wants to get married if there is a woman who wants?” empress Ginari sumringah.
“If my dearest disciple asks for it, I will find it difficult to refuse. However, we will discuss it next time again, now the state affairs are runningyam,” said Ranggasewa.
“Good. But I must find a soul mate for Guru.”
“Good, good,” said Ranggasewa obediently.
“Or Teacher has a woman that Master once loved and is now equally old?” ask the student.
“There, but I doubt, does he want.”
“Who, Teacher?” ask Empress Ginari quickly.
“Name Nini Silangucap,” replied Ranggasewa.
“Later I will find Nini Silangucap and offer her.” (BH)
