Tirta Jayakusuma: Sak Dumuk Cough Sak Nyari Bumi

Tirta Jayakusuma: Sak Dumuk Cough Sak Nyari Bumi
The puppeteer who moves the puppet


But swiftly, the Senopati dodged.


"You started Raden first! Don't blame me if I'm being overboard!" The young senopati who then had used his elbow to hit the chest of Raden Rangga.


While the audience had also exclaimed to encourage the two young men who were in the middle of the tayub arena.


Cheers rumbled in support of these two young men


Things like this are common in tayub dance performances.


Even some have bet for their respective heroes so that it adds to the excitement of the atmosphere.


Two young heroes like two roosters who are ready to fight for a female.


Raden Rangga had actually realized that his strength was inadequate when compared to the young Senopati.


But his anger covered everything.


Several times his punches and kicks were dodged easily by Sang Senopati until one day Sang Senopati had managed to catch his fist and then pulled it so Raden Rangga was lying on the ground in the yard Pendopo Duchy.


Now the Senopati is like riding on the back of a tiger!


Staying in place is a mistake and if he retreats from the ring it is also wrong.


His pride would fall and be trampled if he did all that.


Often ki Tumenggung has given him a speech like his own son to the young Senopati to be able to hold himself, to be able to control himself. Because all the mistakes that are often done by humans are due to the source of lust and desire that soars uncontrollably.


"You have to control yourself, Joko Pekik. The greatest enemy of man is himself! Krena lust! Because greed!" Said Sang Tumenggung.


"Njih Ki Tumenggung," said the young Senopati who had been famous for being quite violent, said, however, he has the characteristics of knights who are very liked by Ki Tumenggung and Duke Pragolo who often visited their place to just see the training of soldiers and just mingle with his servants.


Now the young Senopati has determined to solve everything. He has to take responsibility for what he has done.


When then the man who was the right hand of Ki Tumenggung Jayaraga had moved a little spinning a few steps, then this man had thrown himself and then attacked with a very strong punch!


The wind rustle had already come before the right hand blow from this man came towards Joko Pekik.


Even the young Senopati did not want to retreat in the slightest.


His left hand has been lifted up then his right foot has floated on the arrival of the body of the confidant Ki Tumenggung Jayaraga.


"It looks like it's going to be even more exciting this show Tirta!" Said Raden Jayeng Kusumo who was on the edge of the arena.


"True Raden," said Tirta while nodding.


"Who is the one who is the opponent of that young man Raden?" Tanya Tirta to Raden Jayeng Kusumo.


"He was a confidant of the Thumenggung Jayaraga, Ta."


"She was greatly feared because her abilities were truly extraordinary."


"He was one of the three special bodyguards Ki Tumenggung Jayaraga."


"He was three twin brothers from Tlatah Wetan named Jalu Kerto, Jalu Kerti and Jalu Kaliki."


"And the one who was fighting against the young Senopati was the Kaliki Path!" Raden Jayeng Kusumo.


And a moment later in the fighting arena it seemed that there had been a considerable change.


The ability of the young Senopati and also the man named Jalu Kaliki has been quite thrilling because their ability is an ability that penetrates inner strength.


Their hands had turned into hard iron bars that if they hit the opponent would definitely cause heavy injuries and might even be able to destroy the opponent's body leading to death.


While the gamelan accompaniment continues to reverberate as if encouraging to two people who are fighting in the middle of the arena.


***


But in the middle of the fight suddenly the gamelan tone that had been ordinary suddenly sounded changed to be fast and faster. 


As if following the sound of gamelan that turns to be fast, then the movement of these two people who are fighting has also changed to very fast as well.


They are like two fighting chickens who fight without knowing it even though their bodies have begun to be injured by the blows of the opponent.


The sound of gamelan is getting faster this has made the faster their energy drained.


They seemed like two lunatics who continued to fight tirelessly despite their movements becoming heavier and slower.


When their strength and abilities had begun to cross the line then both of them were already unable to follow the strains of this gending sound which then had turned soft.


And these two people who were fighting were like puppets who had then turned soft.


Joko Pekik and Jalu kaliki now feel their movements as if they are no longer able to master. There is a hidden power that lies behind the gamelan.


They are like puppets driven by Ki Dalang.


And when the young Senopati glanced towards the gamelan harvesters then he immediately recognized him.


A very familiar young man!


"Oh, it turns out Raden Jayeng Kusumo," this young Senopati inner.


Among the young people in the city of Pati Duchy, the name Raden Jayeng Kusumo is indeed quite well known.


The son of ki Tumenggung Sawunggaling is famous for his hospitality and does not like to provoke a commotion and make a riot. He is friends with anyone without distinction.


Without seeing rich and poor. Regardless of position and department.


Meanwhile Jalu Kaliki soon realized that there is a force that membetot soul and direct his movements follow the strains of Javanese gending which is like forcing himself to follow the strains of Javanese gending.


***


Previously, when the fight between Jalu Kaliki and Joko Pekik took place and reached its peak.


"If they fight like this there is likely to be one who is injured and this Duchy still needs their manpower" Raden Jayeng Kusumo said.


"True Raden," said Tirta, nodding his head.


"I'll take over their gamelan Ta...!"


"Help me take over that gamelan gamelan from the Nayakas! The gamelan harvesters," asked Raden Jayeng Kusumo.


They then walked around behind the spectators who were seeing the fight between the two tough Suropati from Pati.


When they arrived, Raden Jayeng Kusumo ordered the nayoko to remove the gamelan from his hands.


But there seems to be objections from the gamelan healers, especially Ragil who holds the slentem.


"Let us do the gamelan!" Raden Jayeng Kusumo.


The appearance of Raden Jayeng Kusuma does show that he is the son of a Tumenggung, who, so finally Ki Dipo and Ragil who are the two leaders of the group of tayub dancers have handed these gamelan-favorites to Raden jayeng Kusumo.
