*Seteru Two Islands (Sedupa)*
Dugk!
Nahkoda Paddle Karat and his wife Lenting Buai were shocked when the boat hit the coastal rocks of Seven Concubines Island. The dark skin of the night made the two of them could not be sure where the beach lips were.
As an accomplished captain, Oars Karat can direct his boat precisely to the west coast of Seven Concubines Island. Oars Karat had suspected that the beach is near, so he was not so fast paddling his boat, so the collision of the boat with sea rocks did not make the boat damaged.
Paddle Karat then down from the boat, it turns out the water is still as deep as the chest. With the struggle he had to lead his boat through the beach rocks to get to the sandy spot.
In the end, Paddle Karat found the sand of the beach. By relying on the waves on the beach he pushed up his boat to the mainland. After half the body of the boat went ashore and he found a place to tie the boat quarry, Oarung Karat then led his wife down from the boat.
“Then where should we go, Brother?” ask Lenting Buai.
“Forced us to spend the night on this beach while waiting for Tadayu,” replied Paddle Karat.
“Is it true they will rape Gusti Putri Uding?” ask Lenting Buai.
“Entahlah. Hopefully not.”
“During this time, Tadayu is a good young man. As long as I was taken hostage, she didn't behave badly, helping out a lot at home. Unlike Gandang Duko who sometimes do reckless, such as burning the Peak Palace,” said Lenting Buai.
Blep blep!
“Aak!” peeking Lenting Buai was surprised instead of playing, when suddenly around them appeared a lot of flames.
Although it did not come screaming, but Paddle Karat was also struck by shock.
The husband and wife position was already in a position surrounded by eleven young men. Ten held torches and one did not, it seemed that one was the leader of the tenth person. In addition to holding the torch in his left hand, the ten people also held a spear in his right hand whose eyes were pointed at Paddle Karat and his wife.
“Dead us. How could they know to surround without the sound of his footsteps heard in the slightest?” inner Paddle Rust.
“You people from where and who?” ask the leader youth who is wearing a headband from a small two-colored rope webbing, black and white. He's a thick-browed, snub-nosed and thick-lipped young man. Just a leak, its name is the Storm Clutch.
“I'm Nahkoda Paddle Karat and this is my wife. We are from the Island of Mount Dua. We came with Tadayu,” answered Paddle Karat who could be calmer than his wife who was trembling in fear, even he cried.
“If you guys come with Tadayu, then where is he?” ask the Storm Clans who know who Tadayu is.
“Do not know. He and Gandang Duko got on a different boat,” answered Paddle Karat.
“Your words can't be trusted without proof,” said the Stormy Clutch. Then the command is to his group, “Cut down!”
Dak! Dak!
The Karat and Lenting Buai paddles can only resign, when they are unconscious after their nape is hit hard by a solid object. The besiegers did not even hesitate to hit Lenting Buai who was a woman.
“Bring them up and jailing!” the Command of the Rengkuh Buai.
“Good, Chairman!” answer them simultaneously.
Then brought Paddle Karat and Lengting Buai.
After the entry of Putri and Tadayu into the water, Gandang Duko tried to find the two around the spot where they both plunged into the water. However, Gandang Duko did not hear Tadayu's call or cry for help from the princess. After searching, calling, and waiting for about an hour, finally with a limp feeling, Gandang Duko decided to continue her voyage to the Island of the Seven Concubines.
“Even if you are dead, Tadayu, it is your fate. But I'm sure, your magic can't be lost by a calm sea like this, ” the inner Gandang Duko after deciding to leave without her friends and victims.
Keep in mind, Pulau Tujuh Selir does not have a port. Large boats that come to the island must drop anchors in the deep water so as not to run aground. However, for small boats such as those boarded by Paddle Karat and Gandang Duko, can reach the beach freely.
Unlike the Karat Oars, the arrival of Gandang Duko on the island's coast was not welcomed by siege or capture.
After raising the boat to the beach sand alone, Gandang Duko then ran away through the darkness. Darkness was no problem for him.
After passing through the road flanked by two forests without light, then through the uphill road, through the road, Gandang Duko finally arrived at a large settlement that has many house buildings whose roofs are evenly distributed with fine sandy soil. Uniquely the model of buildings in that place, the floor is much lower than the ground level, so the roof is parallel to the ground level.
“Where have you been without such a shirt, Prince of Fire Lord?” asked a middle-aged man by mentioning the honorary title of Gandang Duko.
“Did my mother look for me, Uncle Janggung?” Gandang Duko asked back.
“No, just ask,” replied the thin-moustached man. That night Janggung was sitting in the hall while working on woven fish baskets made of thin bamboo rinses. There were two torches that lit up his work.
“There is little business in Gunung Dua Island,” said Gandang Duko.
“Don't till you make trouble there. Seven Concubines Island and Mount Two Island have long been peaceful without dispute,” said Janggung.
“Not going, Uncle. I'll go in first, Uncle. I want a break,” said Gandang Duko.
The young man who owned the mustache then went to his spacious house. In front of the ridge was an iron spear standing with a dagger-shaped eye. On his neck was a white cloth tied up.
The spear showed that it was the home of an Elder. The leadership on the Island of the Seven Concubines was held by seven Elders and a Queen.
Gandang Duko went down the stairs and entered her room through the window. Although the house is barada in the depths enclosed by stone walls, but there is still a wide space as a side of the house or behind the house.
Short time.
Gandang Duko woke up feeling pain in both her wrists and legs. He quickly opened his eyes.
“What the fuck is this?” asked Gandang Duko while pulling his two hands that had been shackled using a purple shining rope.
Around his bed had stood a number of youths holding onto the purple ray rope, even his two legs tied to one.
In that room had also stood a middle-aged woman plus fifty-three days. Although his age was new to such, but all the hair on his head was already white in color. It has eyebrows and eyelashes that are also white. The woman who had the rest of the beauty from her glory days as a concubine, wore a nice white robe with dark green edges decorated with gold thread embroidery. She was the Second Concubine who had the honorary title of Elder of Punishment.
“Mother, what is this?” tanya Gandang Duko as the son of the Second Concubine.
“Bring before the Queen of Lightning Flowers!” second Concubine's orders without regard to her son's questions.
“Let go, Mother. I'm innocent!” ronta Gandang Duko and trying to fight from the rope of purple light.
However, the rostrum actually makes the power of Gandang Duko weakened. Indeed, the nature of the Bending Rope is to weaken energy if increasingly resisted. (BH)
