Tirta Jayakusuma: Sak Dumuk Cough Sak Nyari Bumi
Little Secret of the Youth

"If you really want to devote yourself to this Pati Duchy then I will give you a fleet of spades, I strongly believe in your words young man." said the Duke as he looked at this young man sitting in front of him.

"And I know that your strength comes from Father Wasis Joyo Kusumo and from the ancestors of this land of jowo."

"Consideration of Kanjeng dukipati nuwun, but I can not accept all that. Let the servants remain at the Pucakwangi Academy to help them help defend their land.

It is likely that the attack will be carried out by Mataram from the direction of Kademangan Pucakwangi.

And one more thing kanjeng, Mataram will attack from the three directions. They will attack from the South West and East" explained this young man.

Tirta could only give a little of his knowledge to the very Dipati realized that Mataram was not a small kingdom.

Mataram has now turned into a very large kingdom that leads to its heyday.

Tirta Jaya Kusuma knows, that the Sultan of Mataram, Sultan Agung Hanyokrokusumo, was a leader who brought Mataram to the heyday where at that time Sultan Agung had put all his efforts to resist the arrival of white people in Batavia.

And Sultan Agung is a war senopati who is very great in strategy and ability to fight against tough opponents.

"Thank you son mas Tirta jaya Kusuma, if that is the decision then I can also make you a Senopati at Kademangan Pucakwangi to lead the soldiers there," said the Duke.

"Sorry Duke Kanjeng, the picture still cannot accept the position. Let everything go as it should."

"There is still Ki Rangga Jagadenta, there is Ki Lurah Suro and Ki Sarno. They are the ones who willingly give up their soul and body to the Duke of Kanjeng."

"They are soldiers who are very loyal to Kanjeng Adipati," Reject Tirta Jaya Kusuma.

The rejection of this young man Kanjeng Adipati seems to be increasingly amazed by the Youth.

Talks between Tirta Jaya Kusuma and his ancestor, the Duke of Pragolo, had stopped when the sound of crows was heard.

Time had passed midnight when then Tirta Jaya Kusuma had resigned the pendopo.

Two guards from the Sawunggaling theme seem to be standing on a banyan tree in the courtyard of this Joglo pendopo.

With ushered by this guard soldier Tirtajaya Kusuma then headed back to the residence Tumenggung Sawunggaling east of the square Kedipaten Pati.

The Duke could only look at the departure of this young man who had attracted his attention.

Although there are some parts of this young man's self that are still a secret to the very duke, but the Duke had already gained one belief that this young man really was his grandson who had come out of nowhere.

Before the departure of Tirta jaya Kusuma, the Duke had given a Badge to Tirta Jaya Kusuma.

A golden-colored Badge.

"With this badge, you will be able to freely enter and enter the Duchy of this young man."

"And with this badge also you will be able to command all the soldiers of the Duchy, even the Tumenggung will submit and follow what you command" explained this mighty man.

"The badge is a symbol of my own presence!" The Duke's Light.

Surprised not to play Tirta Jaya Kusuma knowing the usefulness of the plan that has been given to him.

"But Kanjeng Adipati, should not servants receive a badge with this much power!" said the young man surprised.

"It's okay that young man is a manifestation of my trust in you...!" Said The Duke

Actually it was Tirta Jaya Kusuma did not want this plan he felt bad if he had to hold a plan that had the power of Kanjeng Adipati Pragolo.

***

Early in the morning after performing dawn prayers in a hangar in the katumenggungan neighborhood, Tirta Jaya Kusuma seems to walk around this vast katumenggungungan complex.

This katumenggung complex consists of dozens of houses but the most prominent is the main house of a joglo house which is the residence of Ki Tumenggung Sawunggaling.

While some joglo houses are around the main house and look very good carving size typical of the Jepara area.

When then Tirta had been right in front of the pendopo katumenggungungan.

Pendopo is open where the theme of Sawunggaling often receives guests and also their abdicators.

Tirta seems to observe a very beautiful teak wood carving in the form of a carving of the god Vishnu who was riding a garuda.

Although Tirta Jaya Kusuma often see carvings of this kind, but the carvings located at the entrance of the pendopo building in Katumenggungan this looks very beautiful.

He meticulously noticed these engravings when he was struck by the sound of a knob that had been gently struck.

This young man's attitude immediately turned his gaze towards this voice.

A beautiful girl who is agile looks smiling at him while holding a cane-beater.

"Come to Lowo Ijo's brother!" The girl who turned out to be Pandan Arum.

This girl stands in the middle of the gamelan that has indeed been provided in this Pendopo.

Each pendopo usually has a set of Javanese Gamelan, as well as in this catumenggungan pendopo.

Tirta Jaya Kusuma then had set his foot towards this girl who smiled and then said..

"How about Kakang who beat this gamelan, let Pandan dance for the kakang?" Said this girl who then had moved the shawl tied around her waist.

"Eh... Sorry Pandan? I can't pick up gamelan" said Tirta Jaya Kusuma.

It was indeed a pride for a girl in those days if she was able to dance and Pandaan Arum wanted to show her ability in dancing in front of this young man.

And it seems that Pandan Arum was a bit disappointed to hear the answer of Tirta Jaya Kusuma who stated that he could not punch gamelan.

"Yes already Kakang," said this girl who then had moved nimbly with her shawl dancing in front of this young man without the accompaniment of Javanese gamelan.

Actually Tirta Jaya Kusuma does not really understand about dance.

Even the names of the dances he did not know. However, seeing the movement that began from this girl Tirta also became quite interested in Javanese dances that are the ancestral heritage of the archipelago.

This girl's body danced gently, not in an orgasmic style like the dancers did many days ago at Pucakwangi Academy.

Pandan Arum knew that this young man was watching him carefully so that it added to the spirit of this girl in dancing.

And when this girl was showing her ability in terms of pulling in front of Tirta Jaya Kusuma suddenly heard slenthem has been hit...

A young man was sitting among the gamelan..

This young man played his hands with agility so as to be able to hear the sound of gamelan is very melodious..

"Eh Kakang,  ..."
