The Ancestral Country
Warigalit Love Ballad

**

The Lwaram region.

Outside the palace of Pakuwon Lwaram, about 10 thousand soldiers camped. They are in a position to be ready for war.

Inside the palace Pakuwon, Senopati Mpu Tandi was sitting stroking his beard. Senopati mainstay Jenggala was seen thinking hard after hearing the news delivered by Tumenggung Srenggapati about the power of Panjalu who just finished off the Padepokan Bukit Jerangkong and Bukit Hitam.

Hmmmm

"So they were able to finish off the Jerangkong Hill Devil and the Robbing God. They must be people with high kanuragan science", Mpu Tandi stared at the face of Tumenggung Srenggapati.

"Right Gusti Senopati, I believe so. Initially the Daha army could be defeated by the Jerangkong Hill Devil and its members, but after a young man led the Daha army, the Jerangkong Hill Devil even died at his hands", Tumenggung Srenggapati continued his sentence.

"Just a young man? Not a famous strong swordsman like the Swordsman of Mount Wilis, or the Sword of Sewu from Goa Lawa???", Mpu Tandi wide open to hear Srengggapati's speech.

"Not Gusti Senopati, I heard he is the son of the Regent of Bracelets known as the Swordsman of the Fire Dragon", Srenggapati pay respect.

"The Regent's Son Bracelets? Gunungsari Panji?

Hmmmm

The Regent of the Bracelets was still a distant cousin of Prabu Airlangga. He was famous in his youth, although not as great as Prabu Airlangga.

Superior seedlings will come from good trees as well.

If we fight against them, we must be careful. Don't be rash if you don't want to die silly. Especially now that I heard, there was another young leader in the Northern region here", Mpu Tandi looked up at the sky that morning.

"Right Gusti Senopati, I heard there is a small army of border guards. They are divided into two parts, North and South. I heard, it was the son of the Bracelet Regent who led the southern army. To the North, the second son of Duke Muria named Balapati who led", Srenggapati stroked his mustache.

"Yes I heard that too. We can't underestimate the ability of the young leader leader of this army, one has already shown his fangs by slaughtering the Jerangkong Hill Devil. It was not impossible, the other one also had equal ability.

Hmmmm

I even thought of Socawarma's brother. Usually he was rash without gathering news first. Just play smash.

Srenggan,

Collect as much news as possible. Send your people to listen to all the news. In a week, I ask that all the news has been collected here" said the Senopati.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Senopati", Tumenggung Srenggapati immediately respect Mpu Tandi then rushed out of the portico of the Senopati.

Pakuwon Kadri, North of the Daha palace.

Thousands of soldiers from various regions of Panjalu, have started to arrive. From Kurawan, Lewa, Wengker, Tanggulangin, Karang Anom has gathered in the south of the Pakuwon palace. Meanwhile, troops from Bumi Sambara, Paguhan, Kalingga, Kembang Kuning, Lasem, and Muria gathered north of Pakuwon palace.

Seloageng troops led by Tumenggung Gati and Bracelets led by Tumenggung Sancaka camped in the region of Surkutura, on the advice of Mapatih Jayakerti.

Senopati Ganggadara, assisted by Senopati Muda Narapraja arranged the camp for the relief forces from the Daha area.

Senopati Ganggadara is seen reading some telik cipher reports that sent messages through pigeons when young Senopati Narapraja entered with Tumenggung Ringkasamba from Kurawan. As the Commander of the Daha Army, he was responsible for everything that happened.

"The Back of Ganggadara, I delivered the Head of the Army from Kurawan who had just come" said Senopati Muda Narapraja.

"Good Adi Narapraja, by the way,

This way all the relief forces from the regional rulers have gathered everything.

The head of the Kurawan army, what's your name?", Ganggadara stared at the face of Tumenggung Ringkasamba.

"Hamba Tumenggung Sumkasamba, from Kurawan Gusti Senopati.

Sorry if I am sassy, I want to meet with the messenger from Daha who has come to Kurawan to deliver a letter. From the story of Gusti Prince Wangsaatmaja, he was a head of the army and also a prince.

Where can I meet the man Gusti Senopati?", Tumenggung Sumkasamba saluted.

Senopati Ganggadara and Senopati Younger Narapraja looked at each other for a moment.

"Prince? Don't don't you mean Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung?", Senopati Ganggadara probed.

"Just Gusti Senopati, when he first met he only claimed to be named Watugunung only.

Slave ever demeaned her, so if there is a chance, I want to apologize to him", Tumenggung Ringkasamba lowered his head.

"Hehehehe..

He is the son of Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya. Despite being a noble, he remains humble. I just heard the news, that he had just crushed a horde of troublemakers from Jerangkong Hill who had mastered Watugaluh.

You take it easy, Tumenggung Sumkasamba.

There must be a chance to meet with Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung", Senopati Ganggadara smiled faintly.

"Adi Narapraja, is there any news from each of the password that you send?", continued Sang Senopati Ganggadara to Senopati Muda Narapraja.

"Until now it has not been Kakang, but I have asked Balapati from Garuda Panjalu Utara Troop to immediately notify me if there is movement", Narapraja stroked his thin mustache.

The three of them had a warm conversation later.

**

Hupph...

Hiyaaaaatt...

Blammm!!!

Loud explosions rang out as red rays of light lit up like flames smashing into a boulder on the banks of the Brantas river. Patugunung Panji immediately set his breath.

A pair of Perak Sriti soon approached Watugunung Panji following the steps of Dewi Srimpi and Ratna Pitaloka.

"It looks like your condition has fully recovered Kakang" said Ratna Pitaloka as she wiped the sweat that soaked her husband's forehead.

Dewi Srimpi immediately held out a jug of drinking water at Panji Watugunung. The handsome man accepted her while smiling sweetly.

"We should rest at home Gusti Prince, this is enough lunch to eat" said Sriti Lanang who was greeted with a nod of the head by Sriti Wadon.

During these two days, Panji Watugunung continued to train in Wanua Klakah to recover his body condition. Garuda Panjalu's army affairs, handled by Ki Saketi. The provisional government held by Bekel Setyaka in favor of Dewi Tunjung Biru. For the Anjuk Farm troops, there is a Tumenggung Koncar that regulates it.

Yesterday Ayu Galuh and Sekar Mayang who accompanied her practice, today Ratna Pitaloka and Dewi Srimpi are participating.

"Let's Uncle", Panji Watugunung stepped towards Wanua Klakah in the direction of everyone. In the gapura wanua, Warigalit was waiting for his arrival.

"Sister, I need your help", Warigalit half whispered to the Watugunung Panji.

"What's up Kakang? Tumben whispered so", asked Watugunung curious about Warigalit's out-of-the-box talk.

Warigalit immediately glanced towards a pair of Sriti Perak, Ratna Pitaloka and Dewi Srimpi.

"Not here", Warigalit throttled his lips at the follower behind the Watugunung Panji.

"All of you, go home first. I have business with Kakang Warigalit", Panji Watugunung immediately turned to look at Ratna Pitaloka, Dewi Srimpi and. A Pair of Silver Sriti.

The four people nodded in understanding, and the Watugunung and Warigalit Panji immediately jumped into the air and darted rapidly towards the Wanua Klakah pier.

The two of them immediately descended to a large rock under a shady tree on the banks of the Brantas river, west of the pier.

"What's up Kakang? Not usually like this" asked Panji Watugunung when they were sitting together.

Warigalit let out a long breath before saying.

"Actually I'm embarrassed to ask you sister. But I don't have any more friends to talk to".

"Just talk Kakang, maybe I can find a solution to the problems that kakang face today", Panji Watugunung increasingly curious.

Hmmmm

"I've loved Ratri for a long time. You know it yourself, right? The end of this, because of our busyness, I became less attentive to him.

Yesterday he was angry with me. This whole day even silenced me. I'm confused Brother, what should I do??", Warigalit looks tangled in his face.

Panji Watugunung immediately smiled faintly.

"Now I ask Kakang, please answer honestly.

Does the brother love Ratri?".

"If it's no longer necessary you ask Sister", replied Warigalit while staring at the face of Panji Watugunung.

"Did Kakang say the word of love to Ratri?", Panji Watugunung asked again.

"If it's not yet Brother. I'm afraid he's turned it down", Warigalit seems obviously confused.

Panji Watugunung immediately smiled sweetly upon hearing Warigalit's words.

"The back, the woman is the most complicated creature in the world. Even if he knows we men like them, but if our mouths do not say love, then forever they only consider us close friends.

So the brother must be brave, do not be afraid".

"But if rejected, how is sister?", Warigalit stared at Panji Watugunung's face full of hope.

"Convinced Kang, the outcome business is back. Do not give up before fighting" said Panji Watugunung who immediately welcomed a nod of the head by Warigalit.

After being satisfied to talk, they immediately rushed to the residence of Lurah Wanua Klakah, Sriti Lanang. They eat while chatting casually.

The afternoon sky started to red as they arrived at Pakuwon Watugaluh palace.

Warigalit immediately searched for Ratri at the rest hall. That woman wasn't there. After asking Sekar Mayang who happened to pass by, Warigalit immediately headed to the back garden where the private members of the palace family were.

Ratri was sitting on a wooden chair that was under a large sapodilla tree in the west corner of the park.

The girl seemed to be daydreaming.

"Ratri, I'm sorry if I bother you".

Warigalit's words made Ratri immediately aware of his daydream.

"Warigalit's back, surprised me ah" Ratri said as he patted Warigalit's shoulder sitting next to his.

"Sorry Ratri.

Look there's eeee there's eeee stuff I'm talking about you", Warigalit looks groggy.

Ratri looked at Warigalit's face. And that's getting Warigalit confused.

"What's Kang doing?"

Warigalit is getting groggy. Cold sweat began to wet his forehead. Between fear and not, he finally said after exhaling his powerful powerful breath.

"I love you, will you marry me?", Warigalit closed his eyes.

Silent.

There's no answer.

Warigalit slowly opened one eye, and Ratri's smile made her more stubborn.

"Are you ready for Ratri?" asked Warigalit again.

The grandson of Mpu Narasima just nodded with a knotty smile. He has loved Warigalit for a long time.

Warigalit relief instantly. Instantly, he immediately hugged Ratri's body.

"Main hug carelessly. This is Kakang Warigalit's public place", shouted Panji Watugunung and his four wives while smiling knots. They have been quietly following Warigalit ever since.

The two people instantly broke free from their friendly embrace. Their faces were instantly red like grilled shrimp.

'Duhh shame'
