Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 101 Meet Mahapatih
At midnight, in a small tower inside the palace, Jalu looked at the night sky alone. He has not met his two brothers. His heart was too upset with the situation he faced until he did not realize that Batari Mahadevi had been behind him. Only her sister could find her easily.
“Kak Jalu.” Batari Mahadewi said. Jalu was shocked half to death with the sudden appearance of his younger brother.
“Almost my heart is dislodged.” Said Jalu.
“I heard everything delivered by your father.” Batari Mahadewi said, “Maybe you need a friend to talk to.”
“Where is Niken?” ask Jalu.
“Kak Niken is asleep, then I'm here.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Adik hasn't told him?” ask Jalu.
“Which way I can.” Answer Batari Mahadevi.
“I'm really confused. I don't want to leave Niken, but I haven't found the right reason, the right way, to save my parents if Sri Maharaja gets angry.” Said Jalu.
“I originally thought so. But does Kak Jalu know the character of Sri Maharaja well?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Of course not. Since the age of 9 I have left the palace and at that time, I did not understand much about it at all. Moreover, I very rarely see the king.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Do you know princess Kumala?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“He and his brothers and some royal relatives were my playmates when we were kids. I haven't seen Kumala's daughter since I went to Cemara Seribu.” Said Jalu.
“But of course the king will be angry if the brother does not approve the wedding plan. After all, if it will happen, then the wedding is still two years away right?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Yes, sister is right. So, according to sister, what should I do?” ask Jalu.
“I don't know brother. Will my brother tell this to Brother Niken?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“I really can't and won't hurt her feelings. But I'm worried if he knows this isn't from me.” Said Jalu.
“Not worry about that. I can explain it to him. Maybe, tomorrow morning we should see your uncle soon. After that, we concern ourselves again with our swordsmanship. Thus, the big brother family or the royal family had no chance to talk about this anymore. They will understand everything that happened while brother still insists on taking the path swordsar.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Yes, maybe in the meantime it's the way to go. So, we don't have to tell Niken about this, do we?” said Jalu.
“Yes, no need. And, brother should behave as usual. To avoid a conversation between Niken and the parents of Kak Jalu, who may be the father of Kak Jalu will tell his plan to brother Niken or to me because we are younger brothers like Kak Jalu, then maybe it's good that me and Brother Niken don't live in the palace.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Alright, hopefully tomorrow morning we find a way to avoid this problem after we meet my uncle.” Said Jalu.

Jalu, Niken and Batari Mahadewi walked to the guest house of the army after the three did not find Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetles at his residence in the training house. The guard soldier said that the Mahapatih had been in the army housing for two days and was most likely staying at a guest house because he was welcoming many guests.
As soon as Jalu, Niken and Batari mahadevi came out of the palace gate, they saw Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetle was talking to five subordinates. His face looked old and tired. His gray hair was neatly lying on his head. Although it has been aged, but the body of Mahapatih Siung Tigers tall and large still looks gallant, as if it will not collapse despite being kicked by 20 men together.
“Uncle!” Jalu called.
“Then, my nephew, when did you come son? Wow, it's been big you ya!” mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
“Yesterday, uncle. After the uncle's envoy gave the invitation, we hurriedly came here. Oh yes, these are my younger siblings uncle, Niken and Batari Mahadewi.” Said Jalu.
“What!!” Kata Jalu, Niken, and Batari Mahadewi together. They are very excited to meet.
“Yes, they came over 10 days ago. They were touring the warrior housing at the moment. Will definitely return to the guesthouse. Well, now, let's go into the meeting room at the guesthouse, there's something I want to tell you.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
The last three disciples Ki Gading Putih and Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetle entered the guesthouse meeting room. There were only four of them there.
“Have you heard the movement of the black stream warriors?” tanya Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles.
“Iya, uncle. We dealt with them several times, and several times thwarted their attacks in each white school that we happened to stop by.” Said Jalu.
“Can you guess, what their final destination is to do chaos?” tanya Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles.
“Do uncles think that they will attack our kingdom?” ask Jalu.
“Why not?! That's probably once. This is what you have to learn. So that is, I invite as many white warriors as possible to come here and provide assistance if at any time the black stream warriors will attack here.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles.
“Uncle is right. They might attack the kingdom. Many black warriors from other regions came to Swargadwipa. Before we came here, we had fought with three warriors of Hell island.” Said Jalu.
“You can survive, meaning your ability is far above average. I'm curious about your progress, son. After this you have to show me your abilities. Either way, you'll replace me. So, I must know your progress.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
Jalu was a little agitated when she was expected to become something in the kingdom, either being omnipotent or being the husband of the daughter of Kumala. If both happen, he does not know whether his love journey with Niken will run smoothly or not.
“So, for the next few days or even a few months, I want the three of you to stay first in the palace. I need your manpower in case of an attack. If that happens, then the attack is not trivial. Our opponent candidate is a high-science black-flow swordsman.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
“If they come, they can definitely surprise from here.” Said Jalu while glancing at Batari Mahadewi. The little girl glared at Jalu.
“Hahaha, there must be many things I don't know. Alright, maybe I will be the first to be surprised by your devotion.” Said Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles, “Oh yes, will the three of you stay in the palace?”
“I don't think uncle. To be honest I'm happier in the soldier's quarters. Actually we want to ask for a room in the guest house, uncle.” Said Jalu.
“Yes, but you should not stop at your father's guesthouse. Don't let your father think I'm holding you here.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
“Quiet uncle. Here is a fun place for warriors. Means, have many warriors who uncle invited come here?” Ask Jalu.
“Yes, currently there may already be about 40 young warriors stream white. There will be another meeting with me later. You three are also included.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
“Good uncle.” Said Jalu.
“Then, can we both now head to the special training hall? I want to speak with you.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
####
His uncle and nephew were walking towards the special training hall. The place was a large building with very thick walls, and not carelessly soldiers were allowed to enter because the place was only occasionally used, especially for certain exercises.
Niken and Batari Mahadewi are waiting at the guest house. From a distance, Niken saw the figure of Pradipa. And in the sky, Batari Mahadevi saw thousands of black birds flying in circles. ‘Black streamers!’ batari Mahadevi.
