Batari Word
Black Stain Thick
The house that became a place to shelter became the darkest place to live in today. Relying on help, we moved to Mahapatih Danudara residence only until it felt safe again. The support provided increasingly binds the rope of the unity of the family of two parties until we feel it is up to each other to continue the next plan that we will do. It looks Mahapatih who is so worried about the condition of the Father who still looks limp and so pale, so pale, finally the decree to hold an emergency meeting at the palace was announced with other ministerial officials and for those concerned to accept the decree must be prepared with all possibilities that occur.
In the absence of Gusti the King and Queen, Mahapatih Danudara presided over the meeting at noon today. All seemed so turbulent upon hearing the news of the Father who had just been saved and was in alarming circumstances. The safety of the family in question is a strong reason for an attack that demands justice that is increasingly troubling.
“ If Gusti Mahapatih does not act, then I will take over.”
Said one of the ministers in the palace
“ WHERE IS YOUR RESPECT FOR MAHAPATIR GUSTI DAN AIR?! Gusti Agung King and Queen, it is impossible to just give the title to him!”
Said another palace minister who was upset
“ As you have heard from Admiral Bhattara and Prabu Stira, they are special forces trained by the palace before. So if we want to attack, then we have to have careful preparation. Surely as is not usually done by the palace.”
Mahapatih Danudara smiled triumphantly to Atma
“ As is not usually done by the palace? Gusti Mean?”
“ O Ministers, based on the experience of the servants and Prabu Stira who had already known their hiding location, do you know the reason they chose the northern Central Forest? Because in addition to being close to the Pier which became the center of trade, also because during this time the palace always attacked simultaneously or sent several colonies of troops directly.”
Said Atma who explained to the Ministers in place of her father speaking
“ Yes, isn't war always like that?”
“ With those who learn how to survive in the middle of the forest, of course it will be easy for them to finish us at once who in groups come to surrender themselves. Like the term fish in the sea in groups and easily the fishermen use a slightly wide net to catch the fish.”
A speech that helps Atma explain
“ If it is like that, then what are your plans?”
“ Attacking with as few troops as possible. However, please note, that only the selected knight troops will carry out the mission this time.”
Atma looked at the minister
Silently listening to the response from our plan, the palace Ministers seemed so confused by the plan that it sounded like this suicide mission. I also understood what was their concern, considering that half of the palace troops participated in defending Gusti Agung Raja and Queen, and Mahapatih Gajah Mada crushed the rebellion of Medium and Keta. However, by bringing in some people from my army and Atma's forces, that was enough when launching an attack on the location of the central Forest Looters.
In the middle of the day towards dusk, all decisions were finally returned to us with the statement of the Ministers who gave their full power to me and also Atma. Heard this without a second thought, Atma went straight to where the Bhattaras were while I went to the archery special forces as well as the martial arts masters to inform us of our next plans and immediately took the oath of defense on behalf of the palace.
Whether it was just my hunch or something had happened, mid-early morning when I was gathering with the selected knight troops, there was the sound of horses stopping right at the Bale training special for my troops and also the Bhattara where my Mother and Atma's mother tutun gave shocking news for me, Atma, especially to Caka.
“ Mother, can you say back what masksud mother's arrival here?”
Said Kemuning to his mother
“ Pureswari.. Rayimu.. Since last night he did not return to Bale residence.”
Said Raden Ayu, mother kemuning while crying
“ Did Pureswari say anything to Mother or Father?”
“ Rayimu approached the Mother who was with Raden Ayu Bhanuwati (Atma's Mother) after a tea lunch together in the backyard by saying she would go to the palace because she got a call from Kathamarawa to practice music.”
“ Ka.. tha.. marawa?.. Mother's intent.. Diajeng?”
“ Yes.. Is something wrong?.. Kemuning, why are you.. SON.. NAK!”
Raden Ayu who shouted saw the kemuning who ran away left him
What was missed by me? If anything happens to Pureswari, then I will..
“ YELLOW! WE GO TOGETHER.”
Said Atma who followed kemuning with Bhatara's horse followed by Caka behind him
“ I WILL GO TO BALE RESIDENCE IF PURESWARI IS STILL NOT THERE, THEN I WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE LOCATION OF THE FIRE.”
Speak yellow with a little raise his voice to Atma and Caka
“ GOOD!”
Said Atma who immediately ran on Bratian horse before kemuning to be in front of him
As fast as the speed I can chase using this horse, Brata, inwardly, I continued to pray that nothing would happen to Pureswari, and that if anything were to happen, I only wished that he had fallen off his horse and tried to hide the wound so that Mother would not see him. Pureswari, please hold on.. The three of us rode the horse faster towards the Bale residence, seen Caka who is very quick to jump from his horse and immediately ran to get into Bale trying to find Pureswari by splitting on 3 different parts. But neither I nor Atma and Caka, still can find Pureswari..
“ Caka, before we go to the location of the fire, is there a place you used to visit with Pureswari?”
Ask Caka
“ Yes No. But I can assure you he can't be there!
Said Caka explaining with a gasp of breath
“ Then we go directly to the location of the fire!”
Atma who immediately gave instructions to Kemuning and Caka immediately ran
Back as fast as we could, we ran on a horse to the fire. Caka, who looked increasingly worried, no longer saw the higher Atma by passing through it at a speed much faster than me and Atma. But Atma just fell silent and let it go, just like me as if trying to understand what was on his mind. We drove and drove until we finally reached the location of the fire.
There were several horse treads that had previously been present here, and it was no longer just the soles of the feet that I had seen before. Jumping back down from the horse Brata, seen Caka who was running around here and there trying to find Pureswari until finally we again split into 3 parts of the place to facilitate our search. But back either I or Atma finally could not find where Pureswari was, until we finally heard a scream...
“ NO! LEAVE ME! DON'T LOOK AT ME!”
Quietly both me and Atma who heard the scream, we finally ran as fast as we headed towards the direction the scream came from. The barn where I had previously found a baby who was still breathing during the fire, from a distance this time that was seen by me was a green scarf that was specially used by Pureswari. Atma stopped her steps like understanding what happened to Pureswari by looking at Caka who lowered his head standing like a statue in front of the barn.
What was? Why was Caka just silent like this and not moving at all when the woman he loved was right in front of him?.. Taking the fallen green shawl of Pureswari, I walked towards the place where Caka was silent with no sound at all. The approaching step was stopped exactly where Caka stopped because he heard the sound of Pureswari crying so bitter that it could cut his heart to everyone who listened..
“ Pures..”
“ NO RAKA!! DON'T COME!! DON'T LOOK AT ME!”
Pureswari who returned shouted to kemuning who tried to call his name
Trying not to listen to his call, I finally dared myself to walk closer to see his current condition, to see what was in front of me at this time was so unthinkable with words that I could express.. Pureswari sat down not wearing clothes only with a glove cloth used. His body was full of bruises, especially his face which was purplish blue due to a blow from a blunt object. Seen the resistance he did with the marks in both hands that were reddened due to the rope that tied previously. In fact, on the neck there is a rope that is still tied until it looks like a despicable animal.
Hands clenched with Pureswari shawls in my hands, I finally opened my shawl and removed the glove that I used as a sash that covered my feet. Walking towards him with his mouth closed full of moaning and stammered that only accompanied by the roar of tears tried not to make a sound...
“ Raka.. I am Aib. I'm so dirty.. Please don't let Caka see me.. Don't let Caka know about this.”
Pureswari spoke with a blank look with a face full of wounds
“ Ray.. Ray.. Pures.. Pureswari... Rabbet.. Raka wants.”
“ Is Raden Mas Atma here to help me? Please tell him not to let Caka know of my condition.. Promise Raka.”.
Pureswari who arrived suddenly smiled at kemuning with her blank look
“ Stand.. Raka wants to, want to tidy up your clothes.”
Kemuning helps the pureswari who suddenly stopped his hand when he saw the wound on the body of pureswari and again held back crying
“ What... I'm still gonna... Wasn't it! Is there gonna be a guy who's gonna propose to me, Raka? Don't you see, my body is full of cuts and dirt.. I'm a shame family's good name.”
“ No. You are very holy.. The ka.. You...”
Kemuning who immediately drooped above when finished tidying Pureswari clothes by holding and hugging his legs, crying full of heart wounds
“ Don't cry Raka.. Stand up, I'm a Prabu Stira.. I'm the one who should bow down to you Raka.”
Said Pureswari who was still talking with a blank look and face
“ Who did this to you?.. I'm sorry, Rayi.. My Karen.. You...”
Kemuning who raised his head looked at Pureswari who was still looking straight ahead as if lifeless and only speechless
“ Say something Pureswari.. WHO DID THIS TO YOU!!”
Kemuning who lost his mind snapped at pureswari who came back crying
“ Stop kemuning.. Hold your emotions.”
Atma said, who immediately pulled kemuning to stand up and hugged him by turning his back to Pureswari
“ I'll reply to this Atma! WILL I HAB.”
“ I know! I'll be right next to supporting you!”
Atma stared and touched her yellow face with both hands
Pureswari sat back and wrapped her hands together as if trying to hug herself. Unable to withstand all this, I immediately helped him to stand up and asked Atma to bring Caka to walk away first just so that Pureswari did not see him first. Atma who immediately understood, immediately walked out and pulled Caka who was also still in a state of shock and anger to go to hide behind a dindin covered by a large tree..
Walk with Pureswari holding my brat horse, I was just standing there trying to make sure that there was nothing I was afraid of or worried about because I felt that some of the Forest Looters were still around to check and report to Guindra, Raksa, especially Diajeng who as the spear of the cause of this error saw my reaction to the events that occurred at this time. Walking and walking, with Atma and Caka who also act as if nothing happened, we also returned to the residence of Mahapatih Danudara which is none other than the residence of Atma and Caka.
Pureswari was silent and frightened as he walked into Bale's residence where his mother and father were still limp waiting for Pureswari's arrival with a heartbreaking cry.. Even Raden Ayu Bhanuwati also cried with Mahapatih Danudara who lowered his head feeling guilty and also angry at what happened to Pureswari and when he saw the wounds all over Pureswari's body..
“ It's night, you're not tired?”
Said Atma who approached the pensive yellowish sitting in the front yard and sitting next to him
“ How is Caka?”
Kemuning looked at Atma with his hands
“ No man who feels good is fine, when he sees the woman he loves getting hurt like that."
Atma explained by lowering her head
“ All this happened because of me! Pureswari is like that because of me.. If only I were..”.
“ NO! Please don't say that.. Please kemuning.”.
Atma who touched the soft yellow face with both hands
“ The Forest Looters are in the middle of Atma city.. I saw them mingle with the citizens as we passed it earlier.”
“ I know. Soon we may soon be carrying out our Plan. Even the knight army is ready when I call them.”
“ I hope, we'll all be fine Atma.”
“ We'll be fine. Trust.”
Atma stared intently at the kemuning and hugged him tightly
Blowing the night wind with silence that seemed to have no meaning, in the midst of the arms of Atma that was so soothing.. Suddenly surprised by the presence of a ladyboy who ran towards me and Atma by shouting break the silence of the night with fear with him..
“ GUSTI RADEN MAS ATMA.. RADEN RARA KEMUNING'S.. RADEN RARA PURESWARI.. DIA..”
Say the lady with a sigh after running
“ What? What happened to Pureswari?”
Ask her about that day
“ Raden Rara.. Raden Rara Pureswari closed the lock of her room so that we could not enter to see her condition.. Even when we called her name many times, Gusti Raden Rara Pureswari did not return our call.”
Say the lady by bowing her body
Running as fast as possible, Atma and I headed straight to Pureswari's room where the guards and some of the ladies looked worried about the closed room as if Pureswari was trying to do something in her room. Looked at Atma, Atma immediately broke in to smash the door of Pureswari's room and we went inside and saw the condition of the jolted Pureswari hanging himself by tying his neck to a cloth tied to the trunk sturdy house roof.
“ PURESWARI!!”
Kemuning who immediately ran by lifting the pureswari leg up and became a buffer leg to rest
“ You take that chair and give me a pedestal so you can untie it!”
Said Atma who commanded the guards and prepared to climb
“ There is ap.. PURESWARI!”
Shouted Caka who immediately helped kemuning by doing the same thing as kemuning do
#BRUUUAAKKK #BREEKKK #BRUUUAAKKK
The sound of a rag tear by the Atma sword that made Pureswari fall and fall right into Caka's arms
“ NO. NO. NOPE. PURESWARIII!!”
Shouted Caka who saw the pale face of Pureswari with his body slightly bluish and directly carried Pureswari towards Bale health
Is this all I can do? Secretly seeing such Pureswari? As if it was difficult to breathe when the sound of Mother's screams and also the anger of the Father that was heard so clearly by me. Hands clenched back with a puzzled look, is this all I can do right now?
