Tirta Jayakusuma: Sak Dumuk Cough Sak Nyari Bumi
The Incredible Java Gending Square

"It is precisely Raden Jayeng Kusumo's extraordinary ability, so as to bewitch those who hear the sound of gamelan from the hands of Raden's hands that seem to have the Spirit." Said Tirta Jaya Kusuma honestly without the intention of praising or pleasing Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

"Raden Jayeng Kusumo's gamelan sound is able to make someone feel extraordinary comfort that makes someone speechless unable to move and maybe if you want, if you want, Raden can certainly do far beyond what Raden listens to his servants." Tirta Jaya Kusuma.

"Not playing. turned out not to have misjudged me against you Tirta!" Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

"Behold, Tirta, the gamelan that I listen to you, there is no one in this village who is aware of the power of the gamelan that I listen to." whispered Raden Jayeng Kusumo as if he would not want his conversation with Tirta did not want to be known to others.

"Romo did not know the power behind the gamelan sound I listened to! Romo does not care" continued Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

"It was only this time that I found someone who knew the secret behind my gamelan voice!" Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

Raden Jayeng Kusumo. Now he has a friend who understands himself, who understands the sound of gamelan he has been learning.

"And you have heard once that you know a power that is indeed formed from the strains of my gamelan" continued Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

Furthermore, the two have also made small talk and talked at length in Pendopo Katumenggungan al.

Pandan Arum can only listen, now he knows that every time the gamelan is shot by his brother it is as if he cannot stop moving.

It was as if this gamelan voice had led him to perform all the dance moves that sometimes he himself did not know and was aware of the movements of both hands and both feet.

And it seems that despite trying to hide his strength, Raden Jayeng Kusumo has ensured that the ability of the young man in front of him is not an arbitrary ability.

When the day goes by!

Raden Jayeng Kusumo has invited Tirta Jaya Kusuma and Pandan Arum.

"There will be a tayub dance performance in the courtyard of the Pati duchy this afternoon.

You two should watch it." Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

"I heard that the nayoko who accompany this tayub dance is quite good and of course the dancers are also beautiful. And I heard that one of the dancers is very beautiful" Raden Jayeng Kusumo said.

"Gending-gending shown can also make people complacent with melodious sounds coming out of the gamelan-gamelan they carry." Raden jayeng Kusumo.

"Oh.. Is it really a sis? If there's a tayub, it's definitely Kakang's antique-pretty dancer." Pandan Arum said.

"And of course the kakang do not want to miss the beautiful dancer," said Pandan Arum meaningfully.

"It's not so Pandan Arum, you will know for yourself your brother is very fond of gending-gending like gamelan," said Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

"There you take a shower. Dress pretty, let's not lose to the tayub dancers."

"Huh.I don't want to be compared to the tayub dancers that kakang." This girl who then moved from her seat and headed to Kaputren.

Meanwhile, Raden Jayeng Kusumo continued to talk with Tirta Jaya Kusuma about everything.

It seems Raden Jayeng Kusumo feels very interested in the views of this young man who is very broad.

***

Four with White Bango, they had reached the courtyard of the Duchy of Pati on three horses.

When then they approached it turned out that there were already many citizens and also the soldiers gathered in this place.

And it turns out that the sound of gamelan has started to be heard, but the dancers do not seem to start dancing, they are dressing themselves.

And a moment later, only four dancers with clothes that are quite beautiful in accordance with the time by using kebaya clothes that show beautiful curves with circles that loom behind the clothes they wear.

They wore wetback with open chests and showed a wavy and white chest base that had either been climbed by the hunters or was still a virgin hill.

Their movements are soft but behind the softness of their movements tucked an invitation for men who have thick pockets to dance with the tayub dancers.

Tirta immediately recognized that they were tayub dancers who some time ago had performed at the wedding of Ki Demang Pucakwangi's son.

"They are tayub dancers who a few days ago had a show at the house of Ki Demang Pucakwangi," whispered Tirta Jaya Kusuma to Raden Jayeng Kusumo and Pandan Arum.

"Is that really Tirta?" jayeng Kusumo.

Tirta then had told briefly about this tayub dance troupe to Raden Jayeng Kusumo and Pandan Arum.

But he has not told that the gamelan or Nayaka are people who are quite capable.

Tirta did not want to tell his suspicions about the tayub dance troupe.

But from the sound issued by the hands of these nayoko make Raden Jayeng Kusumo feel surprised.

"Ta, it seems that those nayoko are not ordinary people."

"Their beats on Slenthem, the cane and the others carry the bearer who takes the soul." Said Raden Jayeng Kusumo who really understand about gamelan.

Tirta smiled at the words of Raden Jaya Kusumo.

"It seems Raden was aware of the ability of the nayoko dance troupe tayub," said Tirta Jaya Kusuma.

"But Raden, the ability of the nayoko in beating gamelan is not as good as the ability of Raden Jayeng Kusumo," said Tirta Jaya Kusuma honestly.

Actually, Tirta did not want to praise and look for the face of this Raden Jayeng Kusumo. But what is said is true.

Raden Jaya Kusumo's ability to capture gamelan is much more beautiful and able to bring the listener as if he was overwhelmed by the sound of gamelan being heard.

Just like when Pandan Arum had to be carried away by the sound of gamelan that was anchored by the brother.

"Ahh, you praise Tirta too much" said Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

"You yourself are not affected by my gamelan voice" Raden Jayeng Kusumo said.

But Tirta did not respond to the words of Raden Jayeng Kusumo.

"And that, the cantaloupe anchor was named Ki Dipo. He's the leader among the dance troupe Raden!" Tirta said while pointing towards the half-old man who was sitting behind the row of cane-nails.

"Rightly Tirta, the middle-aged man seemed to have extraordinary abilities."

"The sound of the cane he struck seemed to ring out shook my heart."

"The sound is like the sound of Kyai Becak bende belonging to the Senopati panembahan in Mataram, which is able to burn the spirit of Mataram soldiers," Raden Jayeng Kusumo explained.

"But I'm sure, Raden Jayeng Kusumo's ability must be much greater than Bende Mataram's voice," said Tirta Jaya Kusuma.

This young man had read about Kyai Becak heritage owned by Panembahan Senopati in Mataram.

But as soon as he heard the chants of gamelan from the skilled hands and inner strength of Raden Kusumo, Tirta was sure that the ability of Raden Jayeng Kusumo would be able to overcome the power of Bende Kyai Becak.

And a moment later the dancers are more and more in this place because the men struggle to be able to dance together with the tayub dancers.

But when then a young man who looks quite dashing has also joined the dance with a very beautiful dancer among other tayub dancers then these men immediately step aside and let the young man this dashing dance along with the tayub dancer who seems to be the prettiest of these dancers.

"It was Raden Rangga the son of Tumenggung Jayaraga" Raden Jayeng Kusumo said.
