THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF THE LAND OF JAVA: EPISODE 205
The next day, Mbah Kangkas went to the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela to meet with Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. As usual, Mbah Kangkas used the science of folding the earth to get to the palace of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. Because Mbah Kangkas must immediately report what happened in the Bala Bathara Kingdom.
Arriving at the palace of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela, several guards accompanied Mbah Kangkas into the throne room. There Prabu Jabang Wiyagra greeted him warmly.
"It's been a long time since Mbah Kangkas has visited my palace." Prabu Jabang Wiyagra said while hugging Mbah Kangkas.
"I'm sorry Gusti Prabu, I have to take care of a lot of things in the store." Answer Mbah Kangkas with a big smile.
"Sit Mbah Kangkas. I'm sure, Mbah Kangkas must have something important, because it came suddenly."
"It's Gusti Prabu. Servants, as well as the warriors Gusti Prabu sent, experienced various difficulties, Gusti Prabu."
"Yes. I-i understand. We'll talk after we eat. I haven't eaten with Mbah Kangkas in a long time, have I? How's Mbah?"
Mbah Kangkas nodded his head. Although he was not hungry, but where possible he could refuse Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's request. After all, it was not every day that he could eat with a king. Eating with a king is a great honor. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is the King of Kings.

In the dining room, while enjoying the food, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra told a lot about the development of the Bara Jaya Army led by Commander Galang Tantra. Although Mbah Kangkas knows, if Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is still mourning the death of his troops in Karta Mulya City, but Prabu Jabang Wiyagra seems to force himself to still be able to smile in front of Mbah Kangkas.
"Bah Kangkas know? Bara Jaya forces have a very rapid development under the leadership of Commander Galang Tantra. Even I also heard that Commander Galang Tantra has raised the three best men from the Bara Jaya Army."
"That's a good thing Gusti Prabu. If I may know, who are the three people in question?" Tanya Mbah Kangkas to connect the conversation between the two of them.
Although in fact, Mbah Kangkas really want to return to his paddle. But seeing the state of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra who seemed to need friends to chat, Mbah Kangkas became pity, and did not have the heart to quickly leave Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
"Commander Galang Tantra said that the best of the three is Gendam Wulung. Two more friends, Puger Satriya and Arya Panunggul. The three of them had the same ambition. They want to be the best of the best. They're desperate to be my personal bodyguard."
"That's a really good thing Gusti Prabu. They should be used as examples. Right now, not all youths had such a strong determination as them. Especially if the determination to defend the nation and the state. Gusti Prabu must defend people like them."
"Yes. Mbah Kangkas is right. I've already thought about it. But I want to see how hard they work. Being someone important is not easy. The more people who love us, the more people who hate us. Isn't that Mbah Kangkas?"
"True Gusti Prabu. Everything Gusti Prabu said was in line with what happened. Slave is the same Gusti. Although this servant is not a king, there are only people who want the death of the servant. Moreover, extraordinary people like Gusti Prabu Prabu Jabang Wiyagra."
"Ahhhhh... Mbah Kasang overstates."
They both laughed together. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra started to be amused and felt the burden of his mind was slightly drained. After some time thinking only of the government, today he was finally able to eat with someone equally extraordinary, like himself.
"Yes already. Continue to eat, Mbah Kangkas. We'll continue with the chat."
"Gusty's Seed."
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra still has to focus on his government which is increasingly progressing. With progress, there will be more tests and obstacles. But there is always a miracle and blessing that comes to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, who faithfully accompanies her days.
Because almost every day Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is met with extraordinary people. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra can take lessons and experiences of those under him, to make motivation in him who often feel anxiety and worry.
With his current position, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra remains unchanged. He was still a wise and just king towards his people. His position as if on a cloud did not make him arrogant and arrogant. He remains humble and likes to get along with his people.
Although a lot of problems come to approach the alternation, but Prabu Jabang Wiyagra always tries to stay strong in front of everyone. In his heart he always said,
"I am a king! I'm capable! I can! And I'm strong!"
He used to say it every time he woke up in the morning. No matter what the suffering, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra wanted to remain a powerful and formidable king, who always made his enemies afraid, even if he only heard his name.
There is a saying that says,
"If your enemies cannot respect you, then make them fear you."
The strengthening sentence was always Prabu Jabang Wiyagra implanted in him. Although sometimes he feels very guilty for killing his enemies, but Prabu Jabang Wiyagra will still do it, because for the safety of all those under his auspices.

After finishing the meal, the two of them then walked towards the palace garden. The garden is overgrown with green grass and overgrown with beautiful flowers is designed by Ratu Ayu Anindya. It was done by the soldiers and servants of the palace.
"My wife really likes this park. Every time he woke up from his sleep in the morning, he was always staring at this garden from the window of his room. And it's been a long time since I've seen that." Prabu Jabang Wiyagra said, breathing heavily.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra withstood the yearning that felt increasingly heavy. It has been a year since Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not meet his wife. They only exchanged letters through the servants of Queen Ayu Anindya who occasionally returned to the palace to take all the necessities they needed in the place of exile.
Mbah Kangkas tried to calm and comfort the heart of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra who was missing his wife.
"I'm sorry Gusti Prabu, not the intention of the servant to interfere with the household affairs Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. But try occasionally Gusti Prabu see the state of Gusti Ratu Ayu. Indeed, the intent of Gusti Prabu is very good, putting forward government affairs rather than personal affairs."
"....But Gusti, Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is still an ordinary human like other humans. I know and understand very well what Gusti Prabu is feeling. As powerful as Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, it is undeniable that Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra still has weaknesses as a human being."
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra stared at all the beautiful flowers that were there. Queen Ayu Anindya loves to sit in this place and see the flowers she takes care of every day, lovingly, like her own child. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra began to think about every speech from Mbah Kangkas. He began to realize that all this time he was just a fraud.
In front of everyone, he could smile and laugh. Even Prabu Jabang Wiyagra can comfort everyone who is feeling sadness and misery. But when he felt sadness and misery, he was unable to comfort himself. Only a quiet and silent atmosphere could calm his heart.
But Prabu Jabang Wiyagra also realized, if humans in social creatures, who need each other. Not everyone is able to solve their problems on their own, with their own two hands. Especially a king like Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. As a king he had to interact often with people, both those in his palace, as well as those outside.
Because without doing that effort, there would be no one who would respect and trust him. But being a mood swindler is not a good thing. This will make Prabu Jabang Wiyagra more tormented.
