Day 17: The arrival of Joko and the Wolf
*The King of Mating (Business)*
How surprised Commander Gada Kalang saw the arrival of five wolves. What makes the arrow retainer more surprised is the existence of Joko Quiet, because he recognized her as Prabu Dira, the husband of Queen Lembayung Mekar. So are the soldiers who are still alive.
Sandaria along with four wolves chose to stop approaching. Only a grey-haired wolf named Bintang continued to advance closer to Gada Kalang. On the back of the mighty Star sat Joko Calm. He who had confronted the science of Janila with the science of the Knife of Hell.
“Who is this great young man?” ask Janila in my heart.
“Sincerely slave, Gusti Prabu!” said Gada Kalang while coming down to respect.
Tributes were also given by the wounded soldiers.
The star finally stopped in front of Gada Kalang, ten steps away.
Meanwhile, Janila who was wounded deep, so surprised when he heard Gada Kalang call Joko Calam king.
“Wake up, Warrior!” joko Calm's Order.
Gada Kalang immediately got up standing with his head down, because he harbored high worries. He realized that he and his army were in an improper position.
“What happened?” ask Joko Calmly.
“Pardon me, Gusti Prabu!” janila interrupted. He staggered to get closer to the position of the wolf. “I am the wife of Swordsman King Kawin, guest Gusti Ratu Lembayung, but my brother and I were attacked by an army of arrows!”
Janila's words made Joko Calmly wrinkle her forehead for a moment. While Gada Kalang glared with a pale face and became sweaty, showing that he was frightened.
“What do you want to say, Warrior? Your lies can be your death today!” joko asked Calmly, but with a threat.
“Hamba …. Servant was assigned by the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, Gusti Tanggang Gena to trap and harm the Swordsman King Kawin and his six wives,” replied Gada Kalang honestly.
“What is the reason? Aren't they the Queen's guests?” ask Joko Calm down again.
“The Swordsman of King Kawin has beaten Agung Distance, Gusti's son Tanggang Gena,” Gada Kalang replied.
“Who is that dead brown-clothed swordsman?” ask Joko Calmly.
“They are mercenaries Gusti Tanggang Gena, Gusti Prabu,” replied Gada Kalang.
“Then who was that veiled woman?” ask Joko again, but his authoritative gaze leads to Gada Kalang and Janila.
“Hamba don't know, Gusti Prabu,” replied Gada Kalang.
Joko Calmly looked at Janila who was fretting withstanding the pain, both on her hands and on her chest.
“I don't know him either, Gusti,” replied Janila. Then the inner, “Is this the king who will be killed by Kakang Senggara?”
“Nisaak, what's your name?” ask Joko Calmly.
“Janila.”
“Where is your husband?” ask Joko again.
“In the Palace, meet with Gusti Ratu Lembayung,” replied Janila.
Joko Calm then gave an order to Gada Kalang, “Call the relief team to clear this mess. Bring the wounded soldiers to be treated, after which imprison all. And arrest the son of the Royal Finance Minister!”
“Good, Gusti Prabu,” said Gada Kalang.
“After everything is settled, imprison yourself until the Queen decides your fate!” joko's orders calm down again.
Mendelik Gada Kalang heard the last command.
“Good, Gusti Prabu,” replied Gada Kalang finally.
“Go!” joko Calm's Order.
So Gada Kalang menjura respectfully and then leave with a limped step.
“My wife and I are heading to the Palace. If you'd like to, get on the wolf's back. Bring along the body of your brother, Janila,”, said Joko Calm to Janila.
Quite a gasp Janila heard the offer.
“If I do not join this king, maybe I will have trouble getting into the Palace following Kakang Senggara,” thought Janila. Then he said to Joko, “Alright, I'm coming, Gusti Prabu.”
“It looks like this king has a very high magic,” inner Janila while going to the corpse of Manar.
Swords and arrows were still lodged in Manar's body. Her green clothes were covered in a lot of blood.
“Looks like you need help first, Janila,” said Joko Calmly then got off the back of the Star. “Give me your hand, let me treat.”
Faintly surprised Janila got the offer, but she reached out her faded left hand.
Nah!
“Ak!” janila's strangulation was restrained when the arrow on the trunk of her left hand was broken and plucked by Joko Tenang.
Blood instantly poured out more heavily than the wound hole. Joko closed the wound with the grip of her right hand. He immediately deployed his Wound Absorption knowledge.
Janila had flinched for a while, enduring the pain as well as the feeling of a beautiful sigh that flowed caressing to the heart.
“Why is my heart pounding? This king has such a high charm. He was much younger and more handsome than Kakang Senggara ..” Inner Janila while staring at the smooth face of Joko Calm who was as smooth as a woman's face.
But then, Janila was surprised when she saw the results of Joko Calm's treatment.
“How is it possible?” janilah said softly, surprised to see the condition of his smooth hand back, as if without any injuries.
“Allah!” said Joko Calmly, disperse the surprise of Janila who became confused at a glance.
Finally Janilah obeyed the commandment, but Manar was still lying on the ground covered in blood. With her heart pounding for fear, Janila approached a wolf named Belang who had lowered her body to the ground. With a slow motion he touched the Nape of the Belang. Seeing that Belang did not react like a house cat, Janila moved up her back slowly, like a virgin dipping herself in a bathtub filled with warm water.
Joko Calm down then pulled out the sword on the belly of Manar's corpse. He then did the closing and drying of the wound, as if he was welding a corpse. It was intended that the blood did not continue to flow profusely. But for the arrows, Joko Calmly let it go.
“This land is not released by the warrior, the depth of the puncture is deeper ..” thought Joko Calm.
After that, Joko Calm lifted Manar's body and placed it on Belang's back, precisely in front of Janila's stand.
“Thank you, Gusti Prabu!” said Janila.
“It's a shame that women as beautiful as you should die like this,” said Joko Calmly then stroked the head of Belang.
Joko Calm back up to the back of the Star.
“It looks like Kakang Senggara will make a big mistake if dealing with this kind-hearted king. I have to prevent it,” Inner Janila.
The stars move. The Satria that Sandaria was riding on immediately moved in. Joko Calm down along with two beautiful women and five wolves left the garden area. The soldiers were busy helping each other while waiting for the relief troops from the Capital City.
Joko Tenang went to the center of the Capital City then headed to the square. The appearance of the five great beasts that were considered savage, created excitement, misgivings, and a sense of amazement.
“Isn't that Gusti Prabu?” whispered a man, one of the citizens of the Capital City.
“Totally. I remember the color of her lips being red!” answer the man asked.
“Hopefully Your Highness Gusti Prabu long life!” shouted the residents earlier then hurriedly advanced to the side of the road and fell prostrate in respect.
His partner also bowed.
“Hopefully Your Highness Gusti Prabu long life!” shouted an old woman holding a vegetable basket. He fell down with his baskets. As a result the contents of his basket spilled over his prostrating head, but he left it that way.
Joko Calm down and Janila smiled.
“Hopefully Your Highness Gusti Prabu long life!” shouted a number of residents simultaneously while prostrating on the side of the road that will be passed by the five wolves.
So there was a continuous respect to spread to the morning market in the front square of the Palace gate.
All the citizens who were on the front side, they immediately stopped their activities and chose to wait to prostrate. Seen, there are also those who run from the back side to the front just so they can bow respectfully with words, “May Your Majesty Gusti Prabu live a long life!”
All residents recognize Prabu Dira because when married to Queen Lembayung, there was a moment of Joko Calm paraded around the Capital with the queen.
While in a place far enough away, the white veiled woman with a half-century old man, stood watching the wolf troupe of Joko Calm.
“That's Calm Joko, Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari's student. He sacrificed his life to save my life, Father,” said the white veiled woman.
The black-clothed man simply nodded. What was unique about the man was that his feet did not step on the ground, but floated like ghosts. (BH)
