THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 288
"They're very close to where we are now Gusti Prabu. Gusti Prabu should follow the plan that I have prepared. Servants are worried, we have no chance of escaping from this place when they come, Gusti Prabu." Said Maha Patih Jala Karang to Prabu Gala Ganda.
But Prabu Gala Ganda peaches me to stay in his kingdom. He still does not want to follow the plan that has been prepared by Maha Patih Jala Karang.
"This palace has a lot of memories, Maha Patih. I built this palace with great difficulty, over the years. It's hard if I just had to leave it. Especially if until this palace is occupied by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra and his followers." Reply Double Gala Prabu.
Maha Patih Jala Karang can understand what Prabu Gala Ganda feels. This palace certainly means a lot to Prabu Gala Ganda. Prabu Gala Ganda built this palace for many years, until it turned into a very majestic like now. Prabu Gala Ganda established his government with patience and fortitude. Although in a slightly fraudulent manner, but the effort he made to build his government was so very hard.
"I'm sorry Gusti Prabu. Gusti Prabu's safety is very important for now. If Gusti Prabu survived this battle, Gusti Prabu could rebuild the new Royal Palace of the Son of Bathara. With a new government. Gusti Prabu could start over. And I am ready to accompany Gusti Prabu to the end."
"Thank you for the loyalty you have given me, Maha Patih. If I have to leave this palace, then I have to leave it with a struggle. I don't want to just leave it alone, without a sacrifice. And after this, I'm going to rebuild my government."
Seeing the many changes that happened to Prabu Gala Ganda, Maha Patih Jala Karang felt very happy and proud. Now Prabu Gala Ganda can be much calmer to deal with all situations and conditions. Not like the old days always. Now Prabu Gala Ganda tends to pay attention to his reign in order to develop better than before. For a long time Prabu Gala Ganda no longer talks about Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. At least until this great battle begins.
Like there's still a little bit of goodness in Prabu Gala Ganda. Especially after he accepted Maha Patih Jala Karang as his loyal servant, a lot of changes in him occurred. Because Maha Patih Jala Karang never bored, and not afraid in the least, to remind Prabu Gala Ganda, when he did wrong. Not that Maha Patih Jala Karang is a presumptuous person, is not it. But he just wants Prabu Gala Ganda to turn into a good person. Maha Patih Jala Karang is also a characteristic of people who do not like war. Very different from the Double Gala Prabu.
Previously Prabu Gala Ganda was a person who was very fond of chaos and cruelty. But after Maha Patih Jala Karang served in the palace of the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara, the nature of Prabu Gala Ganda slowly began to change. He began to be able to distinguish which one to choose, and which not to choose. Which is harmful, and which is beneficial, for everyone. It makes the name Prabu Gala Ganda clean in the eyes of its people. Which even though everyone knows, that Prabu Gala Ganda is hated by his own people, because of the atrocities he committed.
Lucky Prabu Gala Ganda, because now there is someone who is able to subdue his dilapidated nature. Although Maha Patih Jala Karang is much younger than Prabu Gala Ganda, but Maha Patih Jala Karang always faces every problem with the attitude of adults. After almost a year in the palace of the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara, Maha Patih Jala Karang's efforts to change the dilapidated character of Prabu Gala Ganda, it began to bear fruit. Whereas before Maha Patih Jala Karang was very furious, and hated the nature of Prabu Gala Ganda who always wanted to win alone.
"Maha Patih, do you think I'm a bad person?" Ask Prabu Gala Ganda, which makes Maha Patih Jala Karang surprised.
"Why does Gusti Prabu question that? According to the servant, Gusti Prabu is not a bad person. If indeed Gusti Prabu was a bad person, of course I would not be in this place right now." Maha Patih Jala Karang.
"Patih's the coach."
"Hamba Gusti Prabu."
"If the Almighty does not give you a chance to live in this battle, then I ask you for one thing."
"What is Gusti Prabu?"
"I want you to rebuild the kingdom of the Son of Bathara. Be a wise and honest king. Do not follow in my footsteps. And I also want, you to convey my apology to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Can you do it?"
The heart of Maha Patih Jala Karang began to feel worry, hearing what Prabu Gala Ganda said to him. It sounded like the last words of a dead man.
"I'm sorry Gusti Prabu. Of course I want to do it. But it would be better if the apology was delivered directly by Gusti Prabu himself. And I would also be more pleased, if Gusti Prabu Gala Ganda was the one who remained a king in the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara."
"Yes. I just want to convey my will to you. I am a very bad man, Maha Patih. The Almighty may not give me a second chance. So before I die, I have to make sure I have an heir. I don't want this kingdom to just be destroyed. I think you're a very suitable person to carry on this government."
"....Never forget the message I gave you, Maha Patih. Do not be blinded by the throne and power. I don't want your life to end up like mine. Now I have the consequences of what I did. I am very ill Maha Patih. And the court healers have said that my life will not be long. That's why I refuse to follow your plan, escape from my palace. I live in this place. Then I must die in this place."
Maha Patih Jala Karang never thought, if it turns out that Prabu Gala Ganda has been seriously ill. Prabu Gala Ganda gets sick that is difficult to find a cure. Many of his internal organs are damaged. Because it is caused by various things, which was once done by Prabu Gala Ganda. And Prabu Gala Ganda always hid his illness from everyone. Especially to Maha Patih Jala Karang. Because Prabu Gala Ganda wants Maha Patih Jala Karang to focus more on studying every situation and condition in this palace.
Prabu Gala Ganda hopes that Maha Patih Jala Karang can replace his position as a king, in the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara. Because Prabu Gala Ganda has absolutely no heir. All this time Prabu Gala Ganda has always been afraid of getting a rival. So Prabu Gala Ganda never want to do marriage, for fear of being rivaled by his own children. But now, it's all over. Prabu Gala Ganda has severe pain and cannot be cured. Then he must have someone who can be trusted, to continue his reign.
