THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 260
Despite trying to resist, Prince Rawaja Pati and his army still brought Ratna Malangi to the place intended by Grand Commander Wira Satya. There is Maha Patih Lare Damar and ten former members of Satrio Luhur group who have been waiting for Ratna Malangi's arrival since. They had already prepared everything that Ratna Malangi needed in this place. In fact, they also made a house for Ratna Malangi to live in.
Although there is hatred and anger in them against Ratna Malangi, they still carry out the orders of the Commander-in-Chief Wira Satya, as a form of their respect for him. Maha Patih Lare Damar tried to calm them all down. So that they will let go of the resentment and hatred that is inside them. Because after all, Ratna Malangi is not entirely wrong.
Indeed, he killed people who were once members of the group of Satrio Luhur. But it was also triggered because of the pain he suffered after his brother's death. Ratna Malangi is not entirely wrong. If only Ganda Ruwo had not died in such a terrible way, it was possible that Ratna Malangi would not have turned into the most evil woman she is today. Of course he also wants to have a normal life, like people in general.
"It is good that we do not hate him, my brothers. After all, all the events that have happened are not entirely his fault. Even Commander-in-Chief Wira Satya has also admitted that all of it was caused by his reckless actions." Said Maha Patih Lare Damar to all of them.
However, the former members of the group Satrio Luhur still felt unacceptable for the death of their brothers.
"So Gusti Patih prefers to defend this wedge than Gusti Patih's own predecessors?" Ask Cala Raka who felt unacceptable with the words of Maha Patih Lare Damar.
"That's not what I meant by Mbah Cala Raka. I also don't like what he's doing. But mostly, bad people come from good people who get hurt. Sorry, Mbah Cala Raka, I told you, that Commander-in-Chief Wira Satya has also admitted all the mistakes he made to Ratna Malangi."
"But it is not proper for Gusti Patih to say such a thing. Gusti Patih did not know what it was like to lose a brother-in-arms. It feels so painful Gusti Patih." Mbah Suma Gara.
"Then I'm sorry if I said something wrong. I'm just trying to remind everyone in this place. The Supreme Master taught me one thing, that vengeance and hatred will only lead us to destruction and misery. Of course I wouldn't have the heart to see that happen to you guys." Maha Patih Lare Damar.
"If Gusti Patih disagrees with us, Gusti Patih can just leave, leave this place. After all we don't need the attention of Gusti Patih. We have lived in this world before, rather than Gusti Patih. So we don't need anyone's advice." Mbah Kala Putra.
Everyone other than the three of them could only shake their heads. Because indeed, until now, Mbah Suma Gara, Mbah Cala Raka, and Mbah Kala Putra, are people who are notoriously grumpy. Since the departure of Commander-in-Chief Wira Satya, the three of them lived each. Occasionally have a meeting. The three of them liked to talk about the fight to fight Ratna Malangi.
Mbah Kencana Wangsa, who sat to the right of Maha Patih Lare Damar, then patted Maha Patih Lare Damar on the shoulder, saying, saying,
"Please understand Gusti Patih. Basically they were only disappointed in themselves, who could not help their brothers who had been killed at the hands of Ratna Malangi. I hope Gusti Patih does not feel hurt over the treatment of his brothers."
Maha Patih Lare Damar responded very gently and courteously. He was not angry at the three men. Maha Patih Lare Damar can understand how painful it is to lose brothers in arms, who have accompanied for many years in both joy and sorrow. Maha Patih Lare Damar was not at all hurt by the words given by Mbah Suma Gara, Mbah Cala Raka, and Mbah Kala Putra.
Maha Patih Lare Damar actually felt very sorry for all of them in this place. For decades they have been alienating themselves from the outside world. They rarely appear in public. Because most of them live in forested areas, and also remote countryside, which is very difficult to reach.
"Relax Mbah Kencana Wangsa. I feel no pain at all from the words of the three of them. I feel sorry for them. All this time they lived in solitude, and they were even lonely. I have also felt for myself what it feels like to lose my brothers and sisters."
"....To date, there are still many warriors who have not been found. And of course, Ratna Malangi has used them as a tumbar for her magic. Although I have not known them for a long time, they are all my brothers whom I love and cherish."
".... I've even seen for myself how my troops died on the battlefield, for fighting for peace for everyone. They all died there proudly. But here, I myself cannot forget the faces of those who are gone. They seem to keep haunting me, Mbah Kencana Wangsa."
Kencana Wangsa tried to advise Maha Patih Lare Damar, who experienced turmoil in his heart due to various wars that he had passed. Kencana Wangsa will tell the story of his past together with Commander-in-Chief Wira Satya. At that time, Satrio Luhur group was still unknown to many people. In fact, it is not uncommon to mention that the group Satrio Luhur is a bandit group that likes to seize.
Whereas Satrio Luhur group contains people who want to fight for their homeland. They are also fighting for the rights of people who are under oppression. But the first time the group Satrio Luhur formed, a lot of problems that came. Especially with the great men who were sent by the great kings to kill all the members.
