Sanggana Swordsman
13: The Sakti Ring for the Bride
*Asmara Seal Sakti (Assessa)*
A man with a moustache of stout stature, dressed in dark blue, came with the escort of two students of Perguruan Tiga Tread. The man came with a black piece of cloth on his right shoulder. He was Turung Gali, one of the soldiers of the Hundred Demon Army of the Kingdom of Sanggana.
Seeing the arrival of Turung Gali who is indeed his father, Tirana immediately came down from the hall and ran small to welcome the arrival of the father.
“Dad!” call Tirana while tightly hugging Turung Gali.
Turung Gali just laughed and hugged his only daughter back.
It turns out that behind Tirana has stood Joko Calm. Seeing the whereabouts of Joko Calm, Turung Gali immediately released a hug on his daughter.
“Sincerely, Uncle!” joko said Calmly while respecting with a little bowing.
“Hamba Turung Gali, salute to, Your Highness Prince Dira!” said Turung Gali loudly while going down on his knees with one leg and looking down deeply.
Surprised everyone heard Turung Gali mention Joko Calm with the title “Yang Mulia Pangeran”. Only Getara Love is not surprised.
“What are you doing, Uncle? Wakeup!” said Joko Calm down quickly as she grabbed the two burly arms of the man.
Turung Gali soon got up.
“Mari, Father!” invite Tirana to go to the hall.
Everyone who was in that place no one had ever met Turung Gali, let alone know him, except Tirana. With Joko Calm was just met this time.
“Include, my name is Turung Gali. I am Tirana's father. Come here because it was sent by His Majesty King Anjas Perjana Langit to meet His Highness Prince Dira Pratakarsa Diwana,”, Turung Gali said in front of the deliberative forum.
“So, Kakang Joko is a prince?” ask Kerling Sukma.
“True,” replied Tirana.
“Why Your Majesty did not tell me from a long time ago, so that I am not rude to His Highness the Prince,” said Kerling Sukma exclaimed, but was heard clearly by all. He scowled, feeling guilty if remembering the attitude of “kidaknya” to Joko teen.
“This is not Kakang Joko's fault. He does not know and does not believe that he is a prince of the Kingdom of Sanggana,” said Tirana explained.
“I'm not used to that honorific, just call me as you were,” said Joko Calmly.
Some of them are just beards. However, Gatri Yandana was clearly overwhelmed with pleasure because she would have a prince's son-in-law, one thing she did not suspect.
“Daddy, how can find us here?” ask Tirana.
“Your necklace, my daughter,” Turung Gali replied while showing the necklace on his neck that was the same as the silver necklace on Tirana's neck. “As long as you wear your mother's necklace, then I will be able to find you. His Majesty King Anjas actually sent me to meet my future son-in-law to deliver his gift. I'm sure that you must be with His Highness Prince.”
“Dad's arrival is just right. Me and Kakang Joko are getting married in four days,” Tirana said.
“Oh, I thought you two were married,” said Turung Gali.
“Hahaha!” laugh low at them.
“I'm sorry, I have to speak alone with His Royal Highness the Prince,” Turung Gali said.
“Please,” says Keep Manta.
“We can talk in my room, Uncle,” said Joko Calmly.
“His Majesty King Anjas, the father of His Highness Prince Dira, leave something to the servant to hand over to His Majesty,” Turung Gali said as he opened the bundle of cloth.
Turung Gali then gave a wooden box lined with velvet fabric a bright blue color. The box was as big as an inch and a half, with a height of only four fingers.
“What is it, Uncle?” joko asked Calmly after holding the good box.
“Hamba don't know, Your Majesty. Maybe this is related to His Majesty's marriage,” replied Turung Gali.
Joko Calm down and tried to open it. After a try, it turns out that the way to open it is shifted. When the box opens, it shows.
There are nine beautiful rings on the box. All rings are made of gold and have a jewel shaped circumference of the eyes that are narrow. The jewel of the ring has eight different colors with red there are two pieces. Only, one red-eyed ring has its own different model. When compared, then the ring that one was more impressed for the finger of a man because it has a carving shaped head of a tiger.
At the base of the box there is a writing that reads “The Ring of the Conqueror Tiger” and “The Ring of the Eye of Sky”.
“I know who these rings are for. Of the number and shape is clear this ring for me and my eight wives,” said Joko Calm.
Joko Calm down then took the red-eyed ring carved into the head of a tiger. He was sure that the ring was called the Ring of the Conqueror Tiger. The ring was placed on his right middle finger. That finger matched the ring circumference.
The graurr!
When Joko Calm channeled his inner energy into his right hand, the Ring of the Conqueror Tiger suddenly glowed bright red quite dazzling, but not more dazzling than the rays of the Solar Heaven's Path science. And then there was the sound of a tiger roar.
“The strength of this ring is very large,” said Joko Calm. It then eliminates the energy in it and makes the red light dim again as before.
“In addition, His Majesty King Anjas has given a special land and residence to His Highness the Prince. The residence was built by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sanggana and lived occupied. It is located on the edge of Lake Fatara on the north side of Mount Prabu. After this wedding, I will take His Majesty there,” said Turung Gali.
“My father has prepared everything?” ask Joko Calmly.
“Yes, Your Highness the Prince. However, His Majesty King Anjas called the residence as the Kingdom of Little Sanggana,” said Turung Gali.
“Did my father give me a small kingdom?” ask Joko again to make sure.
“I think so, Your Highness Prince. According to the servant, as a prince who will have several wives, of course His Highness the Prince should have a permanent residence,” said Turung Gali.
“I really want to make a calculation to my father. Why did he do all this to me?” his Joko Calm.
Turung Gali gasped to hear the prince's words.
“What does His Highness the Prince say?” turung Gali.
“Uncle may not understand what my father did to me. In fact, everything he gave me had no more value than what he had done to me. However, I consider it all a gift to my wives. Oh yes, Uncle. I am very grateful to have been given a Tirana who is so special and extraordinary,”, said Joko Calm.
“It has become our family's duty to serve faithfully to the Royal family of Sanggana,” Turung Gali said.
“You only have one daughter, Uncle?” ask Joko.
“Only a Tirana, His Highness the Prince,” replied Turung Gali.
“Jika ada dua atau tiga, mungkin aku akan memintanya semua. Hahaha!” kata Joko berseloroh.
Turung Gali just laughed low.
Joko then wrapped the eight rings in a box with a piece of cloth so that they collected into one. After tying it tightly, the cloth was then tucked behind his belt. The wooden box was abandoned. (BH)
