The Ancestral Country
The Leaders of Wives

Gumbreg grimaced with the pain of his right hoe that hit the wood cot. Juminten was short of breath when Gumbreg's body was fat. Long wet hair dirty again exposed to floor dust.

The two of them immediately got dressed. Juminten ran to the door, to wash his dirty body while Gumbreg treated his right knee with the medicine in the front room of his house.

Tok tok tok tok

"Who? Just get in not in the key", shouted Gumbreg from inside his house.

Ludaka's face poked as the door of the house opened. The bekel of the scouting soldier stared at Gumbreg who was engrossed in treating his bloody right hoe.

"Your feet why Mbreg?", asked Ludaka who continued to observe the movements of his friends.

"Lu's habit, the stumbling" Gumbreg lied. He forgot that Ludaka was an expert at reading the gestures of his interlocutors.

"liks..

If it stumbles, it must be your injured big toe. It's a right hoe, which means you fell by supporting your body.

Don't you break your couch again?", Ludaka smiled amusedly.

Gumbreg instantly red his face. Ludaka's words were right, this was the third time his couch was broken.

"I don't answer, it means right. Tomorrow you don't have to use the Mbreg divan, just arrange the logs for your bed hahahaha", Ludaka laughed out loud.

"Cockfuck you Lu!

The furniture guy's a moron. It's been said a strong message, still broken", grumbled Gumbreg while tying his right hoe with a torn cloth.

"Bring blame on others. You're the one with the fatness of bego. Your body size is already like a rice-plow buffalo.

From tomorrow reduce your meal, let your body be healthy", wise advice Ludaka to his comrade-in-arms.

"Lha has not diminished Lu, no,

Look at you, at first a full plate. Then don't take it little by little. Kan finally stayed a little Lu. But still not shrink my body" said Gumbreg with insistent.

Ludaka almost swore loudly at Gumbreg's reply. Irritatedly he went out of Gumbreg's house and said,

"As much as you do, like you".

"Yeh was angry, Ludaka said", Gumbreg grumbled.

That morning Panji Watugunung and his four wives intend to go to Gelang-gang Regency.

"Uncle Saketi, please,

I'll leave Garuda Panjalu's army headquarters to you. As long as I'm not around, please manage all the gifts from Daha", Panji Watugunung orders Ki Saketi.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince", Ki Saketi immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji.

"You didn't take me to the Dhimas Bracelets?", asked Warigalit later.

"Why did Kakang intend once to the Bracelets?

Is there any need for Kang?", Panji Watugunung asked back while smiling meaningfully. He knows what Warigalit said.

"Ah it's just a little Dhimas business, later you also know", Warigalit shy.

"All right, Kakang,

You can come" said Panji Watugunung soon.

Panji Watugunung who rode with Ayu Galuh, flanked by his three concubines, Warigalit, Ratri and Tumenggung Sancaka drove his horse towards the town of Bracelets. The hot weather of the sun in the dry season makes the air feel dry. The cold wind from the top of Mount Kelud was cool to accompany their horse footsteps towards the capital of the Bracelets.

Dewi Anggarawati is stroking her distended stomach while smiling thinly in the front seat of her resting room. Two of his servants, Tantri and Wandansari faithfully accompanied the empress of Panji Watugunung. The age of Dewi Anggarawati has been 8 months. The woman was so happy waiting for her delivery.

Wandansari did end up working in the palace Bracelets as a servant for Goddess Anggarawati. Resi Widagdo was appointed as a member of Dharmadyaksa ring Kasaiwan who took care of religious ceremonies at the palace Bracelets.

During her time in the palace of Bracelets, Dewi Pancawati and Dewi Anggraeni were so guarding Dewi Anggarawati. His father-in-law and brother-in-law loved him very much.

That day the bird chirped merrily in front of the door of his resting place in the prince Bracelet, as if giving a sign of the coming of an important person.

"Yunda Anggarawati, the,

There is important news Yunda", cried Dewi Anggraeni while running small to the resting room of Dewi Anggarawati.

"What's Dinda Anggraini?

Why did you run like that?", asked Dewi Anggarawati who tried to get up from her chair. Wandansari hunts down to help Goddess Anggarawati.

"That's huh huh huh...

Kangmas Panji Watugunung comes Yunda", said Dewi Anggraeni while arranging her breath.

A wide smile immediately adorned the face of Dewi Anggarawati. Slowly, Dewi Anggarawati walked towards the front of the daughter with help from Tantri and Wandansari. He welcomed the arrival of the Watugunung Panji.

The Watugunung banner came with a pale looking body of Ayu Galuh. Women who have been pregnant every meal always vomit.

"This is Dinda Galuh why Kangmas?

Why is it so pale?", asked Dewi Anggarawati who was surprised to see the state of the princess Daha.

"She's pregnant Spoiled Princess,

Huhhh really troublesome. Eat a little definitely vomit", said Sekar Mayang. Ratna Pitaloka immediately stepped on the foot of Sekar Mayang as Panji Watugunung glared towards Sekar Mayang. While enduring the pain, Sekar Mayang immediately lowered his head.

Dewi Anggarawati smiled faintly hearing Ayu Galuh was pregnant. He slowly approached Ayu Galuh.

"Let's go in. Don't listen to Kangmbok Mayang. He is like a crow" said Dewi Anggarawati while helping the pale Ayu Galuh walk towards the resting place at the Putren Bracelets.

Ayu Galuh was very moved by the behavior of Dewi Anggarawati who treated her well.

"Hi did you say I'm the spoiled Princess?

Don't think because you're pregnant I can't beat you up huh.

Are you.."

Sekar Mayang who was nagging at length instantly fell silent for a moment after Panji Watugunung stared intently at him.

"Your mouth why is it so good to be angry?

Can't you look after him at all, Dinda Mayang?", Panji Watugunung looks upset.

"Ma-sorry Kakang Watugunung,

Lha was the spoiled Princess said to me, I was provoked by emotions", Sekar Mayang bowed in fear.

"You're more mature than Dinda Anggarawati, why can't you be as wise as she is?

If you only make trouble, Dinda Mayang should stay silent in the prince", Panji Watugunung passed into the prince Bracelet following his two wives.

"So I warned you Mayang, this palace is not a battlefield.

The manners of the nobility apply here.

Take good care of your mouth, so as not to be a problem" advises Ratna Pitaloka.

"Continue now how is Kangmbok?

Kakang Watugunung was already angry with me", Sekar Mayang looks scared at last.

"Kangmbok Mayang should apologize to Den Ayu Anggarawati and Den Ayu Galuh in front of Denmas Panji,

Srimpi sure, they both want to forgive Kangmbok Mayang", said Dewi Srimpi who usually calm down.

Ratna Pitaloka immediately nodded his head in agreement with Dewi Srimpi's opinion. The three of them immediately followed Panji Watugunung who was sitting with his two pregnant wives.

"Magician, Galuh...

Forgive my rudeness just now. I really can't control my mouth.

Panji Watugunung was surprised not to play see that, as well as Goddess Anggarawati and Ayu Galuh.

"What are you doing Kangmbok Mayang?", cried Dewi Anggarawati panicked to see blood from the lips of Sekar Mayang. Buru hunt first wife Panji Watugunung immediately approached Sekar Mayang.

"I regret not being able to control my mouth, Anggarawati.

Kakang Watugunung scolded me, I was afraid Kakang Watugunung left me Anggarawati", crying Sekar Mayang broke in the arms of Dewi Anggarawati.

"Kangmas, please,

Why is Kangmas like this? Hasn't Kangmas known Kangmbok Mayang for a long time? Why does Kangmas have the heart to scold her?", Dewi Anggarawati stared intently at Panji Watugunung.

"I didn't mean to hurt Dinda Mayang, I just warned her not to get angry with Dinda Anggarawati.

I'm just..".

Not finished Panji Watugunung talk, Dewi Anggarawati has cut his speech.

"Enough Kangmas..

Now Kangmas just go back to Keputran. I don't want to see Kangmas here".

Panji Watugunung with a sad face stood up and left the princess Bracelets.

"Relax Kangmbok Mayang, please,

Don't cry already. If Kangmas Panji leaves Kangmbok Mayang, I will leave him too.

Already do not cry anymore", entertain Dewi Anggarawati while hugging Sekar Mayang who is askew in her arms.

"Bothers,

Get medicine to treat lips Kangmbok Mayang", orders Dewi Anggarawati on Tantri, his servant.

"Fine Gusti Putri", Tantri immediately rushed towards the medicine storage. Not long after, he returned with a cup of medicine that had been brewed with water and a clean cloth.

Attentionally, Dewi Anggarawati slipped a clean cloth into the medicinal herbs and slowly applied it to the swollen lips of Sekar Mayang.

Sekar Mayang grimaced withholding pain.

"Kangmbok Pitaloka, Dinda Srimpi..

You should follow Kangmas to Keputran", pinta Dewi Anggarawati with a thin smile.

The two Panji Watugunung concubines immediately nodded in understanding and rushed out of the Putren Bracelets.

Panji Watugunung sits on the porch to the sons of Bracelets. His eyes were blankly staring at the sky. Never did he expect, that Goddess Anggarawati could be angry like that.

Frighteningly.

"The ginger of Denmas".

The words of Goddess Srimpi spread her daydream.

Dewi Srimpi put a tray containing wedang ginger favorite Panji Watugunung on the table. Soon he and Ratna Pitaloka were sitting next to the Watugunung Panji.

"I did not expect that my anger at Dinda Mayang would make Dinda Anggarawati so angry with me" Panji Watugunung said with a long sigh.

"Watugunung's back is not wrong, it's natural to behave like that.

But what Anggarawati says has a point, too. As the husbands of the five of us, we should understand our nature and feelings. Mayang is like that, he is arrogant, stubborn and self-absorbed. But behind it all, he is a good person and light-handed.

And most importantly he loves Kakang Watugunung as much as we do. Of course he's afraid Kakang left. That's why he's doing such recklessness", Ratna Pitaloka smiled faintly.

"Well what should I do Dinda Pitaloka" asked Panji Watugunung as she looked towards her oldest concubine.

"Watugunung's back should go to the princess, forgive Mayang. Anggarawati is a smart woman. He like that would want Kakang Watugunung to forgive Mayang. As the leader of the wives, he will make efforts to keep everything in harmony Kakang" replied Ratna Pitaloka with a meaningful smile.

The Watugunung banner nodded in agreement.

By late afternoon, Panji Watugunung and two of his concubines came to the Prince Bracelets.

"Mayang Linda,

I'm sorry yes. Kakang shouldn't have scolded you like that. Pardon Kakang Watugunung", Panji Watugunung smiled at Sekar Mayang who looked at him with a frightened look. Sekar Mayang immediately turned to Dewi Anggarawati. Seeing the woman smiling sweetly and nodding, Sekar Mayang immediately stood up and hugged Panji Watugunung's body.

"Excuse Mayang, Kakang, forgive Mayang.

Mayang promised Mayang will not be careless anymore. Mayang will obey Kakang Watugunung from Kakang does not leave Mayang hu hu hu huu..", Sekar Mayang sobbed softly while immersing his face into the chest of Watugunung.

"Yes Dinda, Kakang has forgiven Dinda. Don't cry already. Shame on seeing your other brother" Panji Watugunung said as he stroked Sekar Mayang's black hair.

Slowly the crossroads stopped her crying. The Watugunung banner wiped away the tears of Sekar Mayang and kissed the forehead of the second concubine.

"Dinda Anggarawati, please,

Still angry with Kakang?", Panji Watugunung turned his eyes to Dewi Anggarawati. The beautiful woman who was pregnant was smiling sweetly and approaching her husband.

"Who said I was angry with Kangmas?

If I don't act like that, Kangmas will forgive Kangmbok Mayang for a long time".

Panji Watugunung smiles with relief. Ayu Galuh who was lying down was also relieved. The three concubines of Panji Watugunung smiled sweetly. The misunderstanding between them ended with the increasing understanding of each wife and Panji Watugunung.

"What's this about? Why is everyone gathered here?", asked Panji Gunungsari, the in-law.

"We are joking Kanjeng Romo" said Dewi Anggarawati greeted the laughter of the wives of Panji Watugunung.

"What is Kanjeng Romo? Kog tumben here?", asked Dewi Anggarawati later.

"There are those who seek Watugunung. A girl named Rara Sunti from Wengker. He has been here for 3 days", replied Panji Gunungsari.

The three concubines of Patugunung Panji immediately bent their faces hearing the Gunungsari Panji's words.

Hemmm

'Do you want him to come here?'
