THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 295
"Honestly, this is a very beautiful sight for me." Said Commander Bayu Kusuma.
Commander Bayu Kusuma and Commander Dala Bima stared from a distance what happened to the palace of the Kingdom of Panca Warna. They really did not expect, if the situation would be so chaotic as it is now. Much more chaotic than what they had calculated and anticipated. Commander Bayu Kusuma and Commander Dala Bima never thought that the chaos they made would expand on their own, to this magnitude.
It turned out that all the people of the Kingdom of Panca Warna were really angry, and vent their anger to Intan Senggani. And what they did not expect was, all the forces of Panca Colour Kingdom also killed each other, for the sake of foam to get the valuable items in the palace. Even in the state of the palace that had been burned down, they still did not care. Even many of those who died were roasted alive, in the great palace.
Commander Bayu Kusuma who never liked the people of Panca Warna Kingdom, was very happy to see the event. He was so enjoying the view from a distance, that to others it was clearly very terrible. Commander Bayu Kusuma is indeed a Commander who is famous for being very brutal, such as Commander Dara Gending. Anyone who is not liked by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, then he will not like it either. Because Commander Bayu Kusuma is a protege of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Just like the Son of Candrasa, who is now king.
It's just that all this time Commander Bayu Kusuma has been hidden his greatness by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Same with the other commanders. It was part of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's strategy to maintain his power. If Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is the appearance of these commanders at the beginning of his reign, then all his enemies will easily know how much power he has.
Because it has been a long time without violence and cruelty to the enemies of the King, finally now Commander Bayu Kusuma wants to vent all the things that he has been holding in him for years. He wants to do cruel, cruel, to the enemies of the King. Although it is a wrong thing, but the King also supports the brutal nature of Commander Bayu Kusuma. Because of his brutal nature that makes his enemies can feel fear.
"Had been Commander Bayu. We are getting older today. We are not as easy anymore as we used to be. We have to really take care of our nature and nature." Said Commander Dala Bima.
"Why indeed Commander Bima?"
"My late father once told me, if in old age I had not realized all my mistakes in youth, then I would have died in a very miserable way."
"Did your late father feel the same way? Dead in a miserable state?" Ask Commander Bayu Kusuma.
"Yes. Those were the last words he said to me. Before he finally left me, and this world for ever. My father was a great fighter. He rarely loses. He raised a lot of money from the outcome of the fight. But, in his old age, he was nobody anymore." Obviously Commander Dala Bima.
"I'm sorry Commander Bima. I didn't mean to bring up your father's past. Sometimes, I have trouble controlling my cruel nature. Actually I am also not too comfortable having a nature that could one day torture me. But, I really am in trouble. If only the King hadn't invited me to join him, I might as well still be a criminal out there."
Commander Bayu Kusuma felt very sorry for Commander Dala Bima. He did not know at all the painful times, which had been experienced by Commander Dala Bima. Because among the existing commanders, when they were still warriors, they very rarely exchanged thoughts or shared stories, with each other. Even until now they became a Commander, they were very rare to meet. Even if they all met, it was because it was met by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
And whenever there was a meeting, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra never discussed personal matters with these Commanders. Because after becoming a king, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra more about affairs in government. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra himself also rarely expressed his thoughts to his own Members. Not because they don't want to tell each other stories, but because they want to stay focused on their main goals. They don't want it until their minds are diverted.
So that when they are met, there will be no personal problems discussed. Being a commander is not as easy as people think. Others might think that being a Great Commander, is a very special thing. In fact, for anyone who becomes a Commander, then the person must be willing to leave whatever is in their lives, when they get the order of the King. There is still pride, because of being a confidant. But they will also be very close to suffering.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra himself actually knows, what is experienced by his Members. But as a great king, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra more often put aside personal problems. And more about government affairs. And so does everyone who becomes his loyal servant. They must be willing to leave their lives, for the happiness of everyone's life. Thousands of people out there depend on them all, who are loyal servants of the King, in the Kingdom of Wyagra Malela.
Whatever the circumstances, they were forbidden to resist, against any orders they received. Especially if the order comes directly from the King, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Of course, inevitably they have to support it. Even if their lives are at stake. The higher the power possessed by a person, the greater the responsibility he holds. Like these commanders. Most of them have no family. Because they were busy with endless government affairs.
"Let's leave this hill. Our job is done. It's time to go home to each of us." Said Commander Bayu Kusuma.
"Yes. Thank you for your cooperation, Commander Bayu. I wish we could meet again."
"Yes. The same Commander of Bima. Take care of yourself."
Eventually the two of them separated, and returned to their respective armies. And so did the warriors who went with the two of them. They are tired no longer feel. For the umpteenth time, they have succeeded in carrying out the duties of the King. Next they will both return to their respective armies, which are still in the battleground. No one from the army of these two Commanderies, who know that Commander Bayu Kusuma and Commander Dala Bima have received a great task from the King.
The warriors who took part in this great task also swore to shut their mouths shut. After their return to their respective homes, they were strictly forbidden to tell this to their families. If they do, they should be prepared for the penalty. The warriors who participated in this great task, were definitely people who could be trusted. That is why Commander Bayu Kusuma and Commander Dala Bima invited them to carry out the orders of the Supreme King.
