Sanggana Swordsman
33 Thieves from the Kingdom
The two gallant and clean white horses stopped in front of a brick house whose courtyard was almost full of ornamental flower plants. The soil of the yard is also soft and soft grass, like a natural tapestry.
The two horsemen were two young and beautiful women like pearls in the dimness under the sky. For the region will never be as informed as the light of nature at noon. Its location is far below the surface of the ground makes the large village only get enough sunlight during the day. If you look at the sky, then what is found is the ceiling of natural rocks and a dense forest of trees. There were several large holes at some point that made the sunlight break through directly into the underground village, although it could not illuminate all the corners perfectly. Therefore, every house and street corner has lights in the form of beautiful lanterns. The village is called the Light of the Earth.
The first horsewoman dressed all in red but beautiful with embroidered ornaments carved from white thread. Her long hair was in a pretty layout with a few short pearl strands and a tie of hair from a gold-plated ribbon. Her beauty is made fresher with red lipstick that looks wet. At the waist, hang a circle of gold and silver yellow rope that has a good upstream handle. She is Princess Sagiya Riangga Liya, princess of Sanggana Kingdom.
The second horseman girl was also a pretty girl, but her clothes and appearance were not as luxurious and beautiful as the princess. He was wearing a dark blue suit with a broad silver embroidered belt. The metal-shaped head of the snake gaped into the head of its belt. Her straight long hair was simply tied up modestly with a yellow ribbon, but a gold ornament was embedded on her forehead. On his left waist hung a fine sword of black color. He was the Third Level Guards of Jatria Gaga, the personal bodyguard of Princess Sagiya. He is more popularly known as the Gaga Guards.
The arrival of Princess Sagiya and her bodyguards shocked a moustached, shirtless man who was busy on the porch of the house with his wood carving job. The 46-year-old man was in a hurry to come to the front of the horse and go down on his knees with one leg and bowed deeply.
“Worship slave, Her Highness Princess!” said the burly man in black pants.
“Stand, Turung Gali!” princess Sagiya ordered with a friendly smile.
The man called Turung Gali immediately stood up.
Gaga's bodyguards dismounted her horse and let the horse. He immediately came to the side of the princess' horse which had a better chance with a silver metal decoration. Princess Sagiya gracefully got off the horse and her hand was held by the bodyguard.
The ungoverned Gali Turung immediately grabbed the Gaga Guards horse rope and tethered it. While the Gaga Guards tethered the princess' horse rope.
“Tirana where?” princess Sagiya asked Turung Gali.
“In his room, Your Majesty,” Turung Gali replied while standing slightly bowed as a sign of respect.
“You wait here only, Gaga!” princess Sagiya's orders.
“Hamba, Your Majesty,” Gaga's bodyguards comply.
Princess Sagiya stepped out into the house herself. He is a regular guest in the house, because Turung Gali's daughter named Tirana is his friend in Kampung Cahaya Bumi.
“Worship slave, Her Highness Princess!” said a woman inside the house by kneeling two feet and her body was lowered to the floor of the house. The mature woman was Turung Gali's wife named Pira Lili.
“Stand, Pira Lili!” princess Sagiya ordered as she grabbed the two shoulders of the woman with a friendly smile.
Afterwards, he continued walking in and stopped in front of a light green door. Such a Princess attitude was common to Turung Gali and his wife, because Princess Sagiya was so familiar with Tirana.
Tok tok tok!
Tap Princess Sagiya.
It didn't take long to wait for the door to open. After the door was opened, a woman immediately knelt one foot down.
“Worship me, Your Highness the Princess,” said the white-clothed woman with her head lowered deeply.
“Stand up, Guard Girl!” princess Sagiya orders with a smile and goes straight into the room with beautiful white stone walls. He immediately saw a craft on a mattress in the form of embroidery.
“Wah, a great swordsman like you still cares about an embroidery job like this,” said Putri Sagiya.
“Iya. I have to keep my embroidery skills, because the Living Needle is one of my weapons,” said the beautiful girl named Tirana while sitting back on the edge of her bed. His attitude was now ordinary, no longer showing excessive respect. Suddenly Tirana fell silent and looked seriously at the face of the Princess. Then ask, “The arrival of His Majesty broke the custom. It should be two more days for His Majesty to come here. Does Your Majesty have any special intentions so that it comes sooner than usual?”
That question made Princess Sagiya laugh a little.
“I want to take you to the palace,” replied Princess Sagiya.
“Hihihi, no,” said Tirana while laughing. “I did not in the least dream to enter the palace, even though my best friend is a princess.”
“But if you enter the palace, you can meet His Highness Crown Prince Drajat Mega Sukma who is very handsome,” said Princess Sagiya.
“I'm not interested in one bit,” Tirana said with a beautiful smile.
“In today's palace there is a party, we can watch various entertainment and enjoy delicious food,” said Princess Sagiya again trying to persuade.
“What if I invite you as a guest of honor with your parents?” hail Princess Sagiya again.
“What honor does my family have that deserves to be the guest of honor in the palace?” ask Tirana.
“Your father is a member of the Hundred Demon Squad,” replied Princess Sagiya.
“The Hundred Demons Squad never entered the palace,” denies Tirana again.
“Alright,” said Princess Sagiya decided to relinquish. He then sat on a red-clad chair in front of a nice wooden shelf containing some beautiful wood-carving crafts. “Try to give me too.”
“Isn't one that a princess must learn to also sew?” said Tirana while taking the cloth, thread, needle and rim for the princess.
“I can make river pattern embroidery,” said Putri Sagiya.
“I want to see, if it is good, I will ask to learn from you,” said Tirana.
“Tirana, didn't you say yesterday that your bitter apple tree is ripe?” ask Princess Sagiya.
“Iya. Let's go back if you want!” bring Tirana.
“You'll get me some fruit, let me sew it here. I get curious when you say the sweetness is too so that it feels bitter,” said Princess Sagiya.
“Good, Your Highness the Princess,” said Tirana while smiling.
Princess Sagiya only smiled sweetly looking at Tirana whom she acknowledged was superior to her beauty.
“Sit sweet, don't be noisy, let alone go!” tirana's Message.
Princess Sagiya only smiled broadly at Tirana's advice.
Tirana stepped out of the room. Princess Sagiya was left alone in the room.
In an earlier story, Tirana told the princess that the apple tree behind the house was ripe. Tirana told her that her apple was different in sweetness from the other apples. So sweet, even as if it was bitter.
However, after the death of Tirana, Princess Sagiya quickly took off her handwork and shifted to open a drawer on a wooden shelf. Not getting what she was looking for, Princess Sagiya opened another drawer.
He recalled, a few weeks ago, Tirana so forbade him to touch a small blue wooden box on the wooden shelf. At that time, the box was outside the drawer when Princess Sagiya came.
“This is it,” said Putri Sagiya slowly. He found a small wooden box carved in beautiful blue. When the wooden box was opened, inside there was only a small scroll tied with silver thread.
Closing back the box as big as it was, Princess Sagiya immediately walked out of the room. He ran a little ahead of the house.
“Galinese cage, if Tirana is looking for me, tell me that I brought her blue box,” Princess Sagiya told Turung Gali on the porch of the house.
“Good, Your Highness the Princess,” replied Turung Gali respectfully.
Without waiting for the service of the Gaga Guards, Princess Sagiya directly climbed onto the back of her horse. Gaga's bodyguards immediately boarded her horse.
As if worried Tirana would first know the theft, Princess Sagiya immediately pounded her horse. Gaga's bodyguards quickly followed the princess who left in a hurry.
“What Does Her Highness Princess do?” ask the Gaga Guards while running her horse on the left side of Princess Sagiya's horse on a dusty road that is wide enough.
Princess Sagiya laughed loudly. Then he replied quite loudly, “I stole Tirana's precious box. I want to force him to come to the palace!”
Although the two horses were running fast and did not heed the citizens on the streets, but the citizens who knew that the one who passed by was Princess Sagiya or only knew was a member of the palace family, he said, they continued to pay their respects by going down on their knees one foot and their heads lowered, until the two horses passed away.
To get out of Kampung Cahaya Bumi, both must climb the uphill road to rotate to reach the top ground. (BH)
