Batari Word
Early Explanations of War
Blowing wind accompanied by the sound of waves that break the rock.. The ash-coloured sky signifies the rain is coming to give its blessing. Clenched hands apparently do not care if the wound in this hand is back open so that the blood still flows even though I try to cover it using a perfectly bound cloth. Looking back at the lifeless body, I turned my gaze to Caka who was also drawing fresh blood from inside her body trying to endure the pain she was suffering from.
Running with the carriage and pulling the carriage used by Guindra, Bhattara's troops lifted Caka into and we immediately drove as soon as possible to Guan Lin's medical clinic. Dong Ming and Jun Hao hurriedly ran to prepare a room with Xia He and Bao Yu preparing medical equipment to try to save Caka.. They seemed so alert with the help of the Bhattaras who helped them, that I was able to accompany Caka even though it was only a few moments before Caka was brought into the room.
“ To.. Kemu, ning.!”
Caka suddenly grasped the hand of kemunun tightly
“ Stop talking, save your energy Caka! Relax, you'll be fine.”
Say kemuning that returned Caka's hand
“ Su.. Letterbox.. In, back.. Sword Sheath, by.”.
“ Alright, alright.. It's already! Is this for me? I'll read it! Now, save your energy”
Kemuning who showed a letter in his hand to Caka
“ Promise... You, should.. Memba.. Cana.....”.
Caka who arrived suddenly unconscious with the release of his hand
“ Caka?. . . .No, No... Caka wake... GUAN LIN, DONG MING, JUN HAO!!”
The hysterics started yelling at them
Guan Lin, Dong Ming, and Jun Hao immediately raised Caka again with the help of Bhattara who tried to save Caka.. Standing still without a sound, the heart was crying softly to see the condition of Caka who increasingly looks weakened.. Is this all I can do? How could today end up with an event like this, when I imagined the possibility that it would be me who is in the current position of Caka.
“ Kemuning, come here.. Wound in your hand..”.
Said Bao Yu sitting on a chair, carrying a medicine kit in his hand
“ I'm okay.”
“ If your blood continues to flow, you will lack blood and make yourself weakened.. Aren't there still a lot of things you have to do?”
Xia He who patted slowly his yellow shoulders with a look of pity
“ You are right.. I'm sorry.”
The bowed kemuning walked towards Bao Yu and treated him
As long as Bao Yu treated Lukaku who felt increasingly ill from the wounds that never recovered, I was reminded of our initial intention of not wanting to cause excessive attention so that the dismantling of our disguise. I swiftly asked the help of the Bhattaras to go with me to bring Guindra's chariot even though the wrapping in this hand was still not perfectly bound.. I looked at the room where Caka was on medication in prayer and refocused my attention and gaze, I walked with 3 Bhattara men beside me towards the cliff where Guindra had fallen.
We destroyed the horse carriage by throwing it down into the ravine so that there were no visible pieces of it at all because it was washed away by the roar of the fierce coastal currents. I feel like our job is done, we walked to the clinic again but in the middle of the street the horse carriage belonging to Raksa and Bhanurasmi was seen from a distance with some central Forest Warfare behind and in front of them with a large number as if trying to overprotect. It seemed like they already knew of Guindra's current condition.
The four of us hid under a tall bush by turning off the torch fire in our hands. At once the troops passed us and the horse-drawn carriage came to a standstill right where we dropped the chariot of Guindra a moment ago. Aware of the approaching danger, we further lowered our bodies to nearly level with the ground so that we could hear what all of them were saying. But arrived...
“A.. What is Raksa? Is that really Raksa?”
Said one of Bhattara to kemuning in surprise when he saw the horse carriage door open with Raksa and Bhanurasmi coming out simultaneously
“ True. Why do you guys look so surprised?”
The voice also looks confused
“ Because of him, someone gets into trouble and misunderstood to have to endure everything alone. Likewise with us who got a hard time at that time, where we went sailing together and was fooled by him!”
The other Bhattara said, looking very upset
I know something must be hidden here! I know Atma is not that kind of man.
“ Bhattara Team Fooled? Lulu, what you mean by being misunderstood, is Atma. Didn't you?”
Ask kemunun to the three Bhattara
“. . . . . . . . . . .”
The silent Bhattara heard the question of kemuning
“You don't want to tell me?”
“ Prabu Stira with respect.. Beyond our honor, it is better to read the letter given by Caka. If it is necessary to explain more, then we will explain everything.”
Say one of Bhattara back to kemuning
Quietly and trying to refrain from asking them back, my attention is now more focused on the conversation conducted by Raksa and Bhanurasmi. By holding a sword in one of their hands as if ready for battle if something were to happen, I can confirm right now that they both feel uneasy with obvious fear.
“ You guys sure here he fell?”
Speak to the Raksa forces of the Forest Looters
“ Yes, a woman straightened several times the arrows on him even though the distance of the two looks far. It seems like that woman is not a careless woman!”
Said the Chief of the Central Forest Looters
“ Feathers of the arrowhead you gave me, are black red.. Is it true that the arrow came from one of your men who was killed?”
Bhanurasmi to the Head of Forest Looters
“ Yes, I took cover and hid when Bhattara Caka's forces attacked. Then when the woman released an arrow at Guindra, I ran and took one of the arrows and gave it to you.”
“ If it's true what you said, it's not wrong that he is.. Kemuning!”
Said Bhanurasmi who clenched both hands
“ WHAT? Didn't he already fall from under the cliff with Diajeng? Not even heard from him yet! You sure?”
Said the surprised Raksa to Bhanurasmi
“ When the three of us took the oath to be Prabu Stira, the Queen's Great Gusti asked us to choose the arrows that will be a symbol of ourselves. My arrows are yellowish green, Dharawi black and white, while Kemuning black red.”
“ SHIT!! Does that mean now that woman is on this island?”
Raksa said back in annoyance
“ Wind gusts are very strong with eye range that is difficult to see due to sunlight. Moreover, the tree branches with thick leaves like this. You also said she was a woman, didn't you?. Only Kemuning can use the Arrow like that, because between the three of us, he is the best.”
“ Relax Raksa.. I'm sure Kemuning is smart enough because he seems to have seen and known me here. I'm sure, he's hiding somewhere on this island.”
“ WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? FIND HIM NOW!”
Angered Raksa Speaks to Severe Forest Looters
“ NO. Just me. And I have to fight it. If you don't want to lose more of your men killed, then brother.. Trust me and follow my plan. Because I know him very well.”
Bhanurasmi who looked around the forest with a smiling face as if knowing the existence of Kemuning who was hiding
I silently heard Bhanurasmi speaking like that, indicating that he asked me to do Bhumi Candrah Paritah. One of the vows taken as Prabu Stira if one of us defected, he said, by fighting on the battlefield against each other until one of us is killed and it has to be done by our own hands, as he had done before to Dharawi while killing him heartlessly with reason and without any clear Decree.
Me and Bhanurasmi, too, now that we know where we are so clearly Bhanurasmi is preparing their next plan especially after I kill Guindra without leaving any trace or message which was sent to Raksa or Bhanurasmi before Guindra died in my hands. Returning to his chariot, they also passed away along with the Forest Looters who I thought went to the location where the tools of war were hidden.
The two Bhattara without waiting for a long time, immediately offered to follow them from behind to get the information we all so desperately wanted. Although they feel dangerous, but with their confidence in me, I also give permission and ask them to be careful. By splitting into two, we parted ways and I hope they are both okay without getting hurt in the least.
Arriving at the treatment clinic, Guan Lin, Dong Ming, and Jun Hao looked so exhausted by sitting down and presenting some drinks and food to them. I walked up to them and gave a questionable look and worried about the news I hoped would be what I wanted..
“ Relax. He's fine now.. But the condition of his body is very weak it looks like he will fall asleep like that in a few days.”
Guan Lin said to Kemuning
“ WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE CAKA HAS TO GO HOME WITH US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!”
Said Bhattara who came home with kemuning
“ Why do you look so worried and nervous? Isn't a Bhattara, sturdy and brave?”
Ask her about it
“ Not that, the Admiral now went sailing to China to arrive with only a small army of Bhattara with him! Then ha.”
#PRAANNGGG
“ What did you say? Say it again.”
Kemuning dropped the cup from his hand when he heard Bhattara's words
“ Is it true Admiral Atma went to our country?”
Guan Lin suddenly stood up who also felt disbelief
“ Is the same as committing suicide with him doing just that. For what?”
Dong ming who felt strange by lowering his head
“ Yes. I don't know how his fate got there either! Especially with Caka as Regent to replace the position of Admiral Atma. Bhattara's current position is empty and we cannot act as we wish before there is a Titah!.”
“ Do you guys know what he's up there for alone with a bit of a squad?”
Ask her to come back
“ Better, read the letter Caka gave first.”
Taking the letter from the room that Caka gave me, I opened it before all of them at this moment. In addition to the hand letter that Caka wrote, there are 2 symbols attached to a sheet that is listed as a covenant. My eyes were stunned to see one of the symbols that I knew that it belonged to the royal palace where only the Great Gusti King and Queen, or a Mahapatih could use it.. Suddenly Guan Lin also took the sheet from my hand with a face full of surprise and showed it to Dong Ming and Jun Hao who also gave the same facial look as Guan Lin.
“ What's up? Tell me..”
Said Kemuning by looking at Guan Lin
“ This symbol.. It is a symbol of our kingdom. And only the Supreme Palace Minister near the emperor can use it! Impossible, this..”.
Guan Lin who explained with still felt surprised
“ Yes, this symbol also belongs to my royal palace where only a Mahapatih can use it other than Gusti the Great King and Queen.”
“ What is this agreement relationship happening before Atma visit us?”
Said Dong Ming to the Bhattara
“ Yes. And at that time Atma had not served as Admiral, but just like me and Caka, who is a Bhattara.”
Said Bhattara who was staring at all of them
Without speaking much more, I immediately read the letter that Caka gave me and was so surprised I read the reality of the hidden story..
*Yes, Atma is innocent. The dark treaty came behind the palace when Mahapatih Kamandaka became the mastermind with Admiral Guindra during a visit to forge better trade relations and security support for the two royal palaces by training troops together. Mahapatih Kamandaka as the father of Raksa was blinded by the persuasion of one of the highest Ministers who was in the palace while in China with the agreement of a number of wealth and tools of war better and more deadly where they they also made a purchase agreement for the Europeans.
But once they returned, there was a territorial war uprising, where Mahapatih Danudara sent to the end to kill Mahapatih Kamandaka. I don't know what possessed Raksa, but Guindra arrived to tell us a Order of cooperation so we had to sail back to China. Everything seemed to be going smoothly even with the palace representative Commander Guan Lin and his troops welcoming us.
After that, after, Atma and some of Bhattara's troops were left behind by Guindra who passed away on a palace ship carrying all the war equipment at midnight and sending word of the ascension of Atma which replaced Guindra as Admiral, where Atma and we had to endure all his deeds. I learned of Guindra's plans but kept my mouth shut because Guindra threatened to kill both of my parents, but even though I worked as Guindra's men, both of my parents still killed Guindra. Kemuning, Atma was not guilty in the least in this regard.
#BHRAAKKK #TRAAAKKK
“ Me.. I released my arrows at him.”
Kemuning who arrived lost balance due to surprise sitting on the bench with trembling hands and blank stares
“ But you purposely slammed it right past Admiral's face. We saw what you were doing back then but let you go because the Admiral ordered it. However, we also understand how you are in position to know the news before knowing the truth.”
Bhattara said to kemuning
“ Huang Wei's. The minister of the emperor at that time was Huang Wei.”
Xai He said to Guan Lin and Dong Ming
“ Wasn't he exiled by the emperor for frequently gambling and humiliating the emperor?”
Jun Hao said back
“ It seems that when Kamandaka and Guindra came, Huang Wei welcomed them at the night entertainment venue where it would not arouse the suspicion of the emperor's warrior side!”
Guan Lin who was irritated by holding his sword sheath
A look of eyes staring at each other over the senseless and cunning news, so it makes us misunderstand and point the sword at each other because they feel the truth is on our side but it turns out the other side won.
