Sanggana Swordsman
32. The Tirana
So, you're leaving tomorrow morning?” ask Nyi Lampingiwa.
“True. Tomorrow morning we leave. I found my own way to be able to bring kaliang all go to the Rocky Jungle tomorrow morning,” Joko said.
“Please take the two to the inner chamber, I will slightly lighten their wounds in order to last longer!” nyi Lampingiwa. Then he said by facing his face to Joko, “As far as you want to sleep where, make yourself comfortable.”
“Thank you for the important news you gave us, Nek,”.
“Hihihi!” nyi Lampingiwa laughs as she moves into the house.
Hujabayat and Tirana then moved to move Ginari and Kembang Buangi's body into the house.
Joko Calm chose to go down to the water flow under the bamboo bridge. He left his caping on the rocks. He rolled his sleeves up high. He then washed his face with the cold water. Some of his arms were wet, even he poked his palm behind his clothes to feel the coolness of the hills spring.
Joko, who was enjoying the coolness of the water, stopped moving when she found Tirana sitting relaxed on a rock not far from her, but still in a safe distance.
“What are you doing there?” ask Joko.
“Keeping my future husband,” answered Tirana lightly while smiling beautifully, the evening light still illuminates his clean face. In his heart he enjoyed the good looks of Joko who had just seen this time directly. “I must always make sure my prince and my future husband are in a safe condition. I don't want to be negligent in my main task.”
“It looks like we both have to talk seriously,” said Joko Calmly as she got up and jumped small while holding her caping.
Tirana stood up and followed her master. Joko stepped up and went to sit on a large wooden stump. The base of the tree is neatly cut until it is comfortable to be occupied by one body. The former tree seemed to be cut down not using an axe or cleaver. Opposite of that, there was also a similar wooden tree, only smaller in size. Four steps away, it is still safe for Joko if Tirana sits there.
The two sat cross-legged, looking at each other. Joko left her face open and put her caping on her side. This makes Tirana feel more comfortable and happy. Joko's high good looks become a fortune for him as a woman who will become his wife later. Unlike Joko, he is the type of young man who is not obsessed by facial beauty and physical woman. Therefore, such face-to-face positions do not greatly affect his thoughts and feelings.
“Before I apologize to you, Tirana, because I still think all your stories are funny who I know who they are made up of,” said Joko.
Tirana kusyuk listen.
“How can I easily trust you? So far I have never known that my father was a king and I have a kingdom called Sanggana. You whom I had never known and met before, suddenly appeared as my servant, even as my future wife. While the person who knew me so well, my teacher Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari, never told me about the king and his future wife. Especially the relationship between husband and wife I think is not as easy as matching between side dishes and drinks. Adult relationships like this are a matter of love, affection, love and fit the nature of two different bodies. Can you explain and make me sure that you're not fooling me?” Joko.
“Before I apologize if my appearance makes Kakang Joko restless and confused. I was right named Tirana. I'm also named the Guard Girl. From birth to adulthood I grew up in the Forest of the Gods. This is the second time I have come out from the territory of the God's Fierce Forest. My purpose is nothing but to serve, guard and accompany Kakang Joko. This purpose is solely because I carried out the orders of Gusti His Majesty King Anjas, the father of His Highness the Prince. I was the chosen girl. For me it is a high glory and honor to be able to carry out the duties of the Highness Gusti King Anjas. From this task, I was equipped with knowledge about His Highness the Prince, the powers and diseases of His Highness the Prince,”, said Tirana until his sentence was cut by Joko's question.
“With your consent as a servant, a guard until later as my life friend, means according to my father, my condition is under threat?” ask Joko.
“That all happened because I had a disease you called named the Thorny Man's Nature?” ask Joko again.
“True. Kakang Joko could see the evidence for himself the first time I came. My devotion left Kakang Joko helpless. If I were an enemy then it would be over. Such conditions are what Gusti Mulia King Anjas worries about his son. Therefore I was sent as a healing medicine.”
“How can you cure the disease?” ask Joko.
“It was an inherited disease from Kakang Joko's ancestor. Letting them stay with the disease is a very dangerous condition. The nature of the Males is a disease suffered by the heirs of the Eight Flower Goddesses. So in order to bring out that devotion, eight goddesses were needed. The goddess in question is the wife. Eight wives are required. In the process of getting there, Kakang Joko will inevitably have to marry a woman. Since the first body relationship with the first wife, then the total devotion of Kakang Joko will be temporarily paralyzed until the Eight Flower Goddesses are fulfilled all. Males Torn Nature Disease will disappear and instead, Kakang Joko will become an ordinary normal man without having the magic and energy in the slightest.”
“What? So all my wisdom that I have cultivated since my baby will be destroyed?” joko asked surprised.
“Not destroyed, just can not be used during the period leading to the formation of the Eight Flower Goddesses. Therefore, Kakang Joko's first wife must be highly devoted to be a guard and high compliance as a servant of life,” explained Tirana.
“Oh world,” said Joko with a lackluster expression. Then ask again, “Means I just collect eight women then all I married and finished?”
“True. However, to realize the worship of the Eight Flower Goddess is not just Kakang Joko married to eight women, but between Kakang Joko and the eight goddesses must have a sincere love and love relationship, including the relationship between one goddess and another.”
“What if I choose not to follow the storyline of the Eight Flower Goddesses and choose not to marry?” ask Joko Calm down again.
“Then forever I must keep His Highness the Prince safe from dangerous conditions,” replied Tirana.
“So you'll follow me and be with me forever?” ask Joko.
“Yes, Your Highness the Prince. Although it was as a wife or as a guard only,” replied Tirana.
Joko then moved up from her seat.
“I want to make a fire, talk long staring at your face makes me start thinking strangely. Your face is too beautiful,” Joko said to Tirana as she passed towards the wooden pile that was beside the bamboo house.
Hearing Joko's final words, Tirana smiled happily. But he is sure, Prince Dira will not be easy to follow the story.
“Please, Joko. I will take the yam and look for the night hunt,” said Hujabayat who had since only noticed the serious conversation of Joko and Tirana from the halls.
“Yes, you should have prepared a nice evening treat for your big guests,” said Joko then laughed lightly. (BH)
