Panembahan Ciptaning using his supernatural powers had preceded the officials who had been tasked to summoned to him. Before dark, he had reached the duchy first. The gatekeeper who had heard that the Duke of Gendrosakti sent an envoy to summon the wise old man, when he inquiry and heard the name of the old man in front of the gate, immediately gave great respect and escorted the priest to the duke.
The Duke of Gendrosakti who heard the coming of Panembahan Ciptaning, was overjoyed. Immediately he called an assembly to all the councils and his counselors. And in the twilight he held a meeting in the hall or chamber where he usually held meetings. After all the heads of the court had come forward, the Panembahan Ciptaning was temporarily welcomed into the waiting room and called to the front.
With slow steps and a calm face, Panembahan Ciptaning entered the hallway and immediately faced the Duke of Gendrosakti seated in his majestic chair, a chair adorned with splendid ivory, a gift from the King of Brawijaya. As a great guest or an honorable person, Panembahan Ciptaning did not sit on the floor like any other servant, but let him sit comfortably on a respected seat made from Cendana wood. After asking news of their well being reciprocally as guests and hosts, The Duke of Gendrosakti then told him the purpose of the meeting to the old man. The Duke then told his strange dream and that always worried him lately.
"Dear uncle," he said politely, "Ever since I had that dream, somehow, my heart feels bad, I don't eat and I don't sleep well. I will suffer and be disappointed all the time before the meaning of my dream is broken. That is why I ask uncle to help and explain the meaning of my dream."
Panembahan listened with great patience. Not once did he cut off the Gendrosakti talk, After the duke had finished speaking his dream, the priest nodded and used his hands to grasp his white and long beard. "Ananda (my beloved) duke, indeed, everything that the God has determined. Humans can try to strive, but the God is also their decider. No matter how clever a person may be, he is nothing but a weak creature and helpless and should obey the laws of nature. Ananda duke, it is very strange to think that to explain the meaning of such as simple dream come to the point of trying to bring this foolish uncle. Doesn't this would make this uncle to be seen as taking lightly the smart people in Tandes duchy ? "
"This is what puzzles me, uncle. Apparently this time the counselors at Tandes lost their vigilance and could not explain the meaning of my dream, so I had to interrupt and trouble my uncle's for this matter."
Again, Panembahan Ciptaning nodded his head and heard it take a long breath. "Hmmm, this is the will of the Supreme Lord. Just the way how it is as it supposed to be.
Ananda Duke, listen to this uncle explanation of the dream of yours. Ananda seen a small sparks inside your house, that later become bigger and fiercer, at the end take the whole house burned down to dust. This dream has a bad meaning, Ananda.
Indeed, at first, the dangers that threaten the Duchy of Tandes are not known and so you ignore them.
The little fire sparks was a symbol of the devil inside your house, the devil that has a face of a human which not long after that become the disaster and destruction to the anada and to the Duchy of Tandes, since this is a warning from the Almighty, be careful, ananda! "
Not only was the Duke of Gendrosakti pale in hearing this description, but all the attendees were also shocked and sick scared. Not only were they shocked at the threat of the dream, but they were shocked that they thought the priest was too bold and that he had predicted such a bad situation for the Duchess of Tandes. It is true that Gendrosakti's heart has aroused anger, but he still suppresses that feeling, and asks for advice.
"If so, what effort can I devote to prevent such a catastrophe, uncle Panembahan?"
In the earnest voice of Creation responds." As I said before, man can strive, but the Supreme will also decide! After all, if the effort is enough, it's never too late. The only way is for you to act fast, take the fireworks and throw them away without causing any wildfire! Ananda must insist that all the consequences are caused. The Supreme Lord will not punish His creatures without cause, like still water, it won't move without anyone touching it! And what mistakes have my son had done, only yourself can look for it. "
Duke Gendrosakti thought hard and tried to guess who was the human form of stealth which was a spark that would later set fire to his household. But he could not find it so he then ask again. "Oh, the vigilant Panembahan , don't be so half-hearted for helping us. Mention the person whose uncle considers the sparks, and I will remove them from the face of the earth right now! "
For a long time the priest had not yet answered, the situation became quiet and tense. Every ear was listened carefully to hear the answer panembahan Ciptaning and every chest was pounding. Then the panembahan's answer came, slowly and quietly until it was clearly heard by everyone.
"Beautiful sparks are seen and everyone needs them. In this dream he symbolizes a beautiful person and at this time the most ananda loved and ananda dear. It was that person! "
There was a moment of silence, even the breath was barely audible again, but suddenly a hot steam exploded in the chest of the Duke of Gendrosakti.
" Panembahan uncle! You mean Sariti ?! "
Panembahan bowed his head." I did not mean it, but your own dream. "Suddenly bursts of laughter came from Gendrosakti's mouth. A loud laugh that was deliberately hardened to suppress the surge of his heart which was filled with anxiety and anxiety. Scared.
Then he said loudly. "Ha, ha! Panembahan Ciptaning! You ... you cheated! You seem to hold a grudge against me and now you want to avenge him! Do you think Sariti will ruin my life? Ha ha! Crazy! You're crazy, Ciptaning! "
"That is the nature of those who have forgotten." Replied Panembahan Ciptaning, " The fools cursing the other idiots, the mad ones cursing the others crazy! "
"Old farts traitor!" Madly, Gendrosakti and taken out his Keris from the seath.
But his advisors immediately jumped and snatched him until the angry Duke of the King didn't able to kill Panembahan Ciptaning. But he was still furious and immediately ordered his guards.
"Capture this old fart! Imprison the weaving shaman!"
Panembahan Ciptaning was arrested and put in a prison room. But a patient smile never left the priest's face. Duke Gendrosakti cursing for a long time and in the end only sariti could make him calm again.
"Kangmas (my beloved man) Duke, "said Sariti with melodious voice and spoiled style. "I have heard about the forecast spoken by Panembahan Ciptaning. If indeed my beloved duke considered that I could cause havoc here in the Tandes, vanish me, kangmas, kill me, I would be willing to sacrifice for the happiness of the kangmas. "
After saying that, Sariti sobbed."Yayi Sariti, don't you listen to the empty chatter of the old shaman!"
Sariti, who was a young teenager and indeed beautiful, said again," So, then, he is not a sacred elder as people think, kangmas? "
" Holy priest? Ha ha! Ciptaning is just a Villager who usually can only treats the sickness of small children. Ha, ha, ha! "
"Kangmas Duke, if so, that person is very dangerous and should be sentenced to death. "
"Indeed! It was true that I was going to end his life it at that moment too, but the councils were preventing me! Let me order the guards tomorrow to give the "picis" punishment (death by peeling the body skin of the condemned little by little) to him." Duke of Gendrosakti is even more furious.
"Kangmas Duke, don't give him "picis" punishment, pity him. He would have suffer terribly and my heart would not able to hear it."
Duke of Gendrosakti embraced his beloved concubine. "Ah, such a sweet creature, such a beautiful beauty, such a delicate and gentle, and have a loving heart compassion, this beautiful creature is called a demon in the form of human beings. by Ciptaning? Crazy!" Thought Gendrosakti.
"If you object, it's fine that he beheaded, sweet, "he said consolingly.
"Kangmas Gendrosakti, I'm still doubtful and worried that he really is a magician. Isn't the white tiger we got from Madura so wild? Well, we should test the power of Panembahan Ciptaning. If it's true that he can face the wild white tiger safely, then he really is a saint and should not be destroyed. But if it turns out that the white tiger is to destroy it, it means that he is indeed a con artist and let him be buried in the belly of the white tiger!"
Duke Gendrosakti was delighted to hear this proposal and he thought his concubines were very clever. And that night they went having fun thoroughly as usual.
The next morning, Duke Gendrosakti ordered his guards to announce to all residents that in the square there was to be a test for priest Ciptaning, the old priest to be pitted with the white tiger that was arrested in Madura's Jungle as a test. If he dies in the daylight, then he is a deceiver, but if he can defeat the white tiger, he will be set free.
The news was widely shared by the people as there had never been such a thing. It's become natural that an unusual weird show is always liked by people, regardless of how bad the show is. On the other hand, the counselors and the sentries felt very anxious because the exam was considered too cruel and ignorant. If you want to die, why not just kill him? Why should a victim of a tiger be known to be cruel and cruel?
Before being captured, the white tiger had destroyed dozens of villagers in Madura and was known as a vicious beast. However, who dares to oppose the power of the Duke of Gendrosakti? From early morning crowds flocked the square, to witness this special spectacle. After the gong was beaten, the Duke of Gendrosakti came out of the duchy, accompanied by the domestics and the nobles.
His beloved concubine, Sariti, appeared to watch the spectacle unfold from her mind. All the people, especially the young people, never stopped praising the beauty of the princess and secretly acknowledged that for a beautiful woman like Sariti, a man would probably be able to do whatever he asked.
After the Duke Gendrosakti and his entourage sat on the stage that had been set up there, the duke gave orders. And some soldiers came and cut off a large, heavy cage. People were startled when they saw that inside the cage was a giant white tiger. When the tiger saw the crowd, he roared with his voice shaking the earth. The people became pale and the audience stood in front of the scene and panicked!
The swirling arm of selected soldier with a pointed spear that immediately lines and ramps up made a strong wall fence. They made a circle and the spectators were only allowed to stand behind the guard fence guarded with the spear ready, until the Duke Gendrosakti returned the sign. From the direction of the prison, the old Panembahan Ciptaning was released.
He was still handcuffed with long iron chains, and the end of the chain was held by a large tall guard. The old priest was still smiling, as if he were seeing the whole show as a funny thing to be laugh at.
He walked the slow and quiet path as usual, and his face looked down upon the ground on which his feet had come. The audience saw the priest and greeted him with a round full applause.
Seeing this, Sariti was very worried. She directed her eyes with hatred towards the priest.
Crazy old man, she thought, for no apparent reason trying to harm me!
The pretty girl touched the arm of Duke Gendrosakti and whispered. "Hurry up and begin the test to finish it already." Gendrosakti then gave the sign again and the shackles in the hand of the Panembahan were opened.
He was standing near the box of the tiger prisoned, He slightly bowed his head. Then the door of the box opened.
Once the door opens, the soldier who opens it quickly jumps to escape behind the guard. It was heard that the white tiger roared again several times, and he came out slowly. The audience was all fluttering and the situation was tense. The tiger looked at the victim standing still.
Now Panembahan Ciptaning also looked at the beast. The both of them stood motionless in front of each other, as if they were trembling all over the body for the face off. Finally the tiger lost and bowed his head, helpless against the glare of the old man in front of him. He kissed the ground and roared again, but never dared to look at the Creation!
"He is bewitching him!" Sariti whispered near Gendrosakti's ear.
"He's a real shamaness!"
Meanwhile, seeing how fierce and scary tiger seemed to be afraid of the priest, the audience was amazed and they uttered a low-high voice of commendation! The state of panic was began again, people are eager to witness the supremacy of a well-known and well-known priest!
At that time, outside the audience was a great commotion. It sounds like a loud noise. "Move! Move you! Open the road!" The sound was so scary that people became disturbed, as the newcomer not only used the exploding voice to ask for a way, but also used a pair of incredibly powerful arms! With both hands, he grabbed the people blocking the path in front of him and threw to the left as if to throw just dry grass!
He was a handsome young man. His breasts were bare and he wore only a pair of black trousers, knit sheaths and wore a dark purple headband. This man is none other than Jaka Galing who accidentally came to find his father, because he was arrested and wanted to be killed by a white tiger.
With both his strong arms, Jaka Galing could push forward. Her sharp eyes glittered with anger as he saw how much he had faced a huge white tiger and was ready to pierce and tear her father's body.
"Fuck!" he shouted as he jumped into the circle. A soldier who wants to block can be ousted with one push!
The white tiger is afraid to attack an old man with a pair of incredible eyes and make it looked weak. However, as he saw how a young man that dared to come in and came closer to him, with a grin that showed his sharp teeth, lowering his body until his stomach clung to the ground, he slowly advanced.
Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, the tiger jumped into the direction of the Jaka Galing! The attack was fast and powerful, and make the audience awe in shock, especially the female attendants accompanying Sariti. Everyone feels sorry and pity that the smooth, clean skin of the young man will be wiped and torn by the white tiger's nails!
It is imagined in the eyes of all who witnessed the scene how handsome and young the man was with open chest and open neck and his body had collapsed in his own blood! However, the horror soon turned into shock and finally the cheering and shaking of the earth sounded.
It turns out that the handsome and well balanced young man, in a wonderful way, has managed to dodge on his side until the white tiger is out of reach. And before the beast could attack again, Galing's right leg swung violently and quickly kicked the tiger's body until the strong, wild beast was thrown into the front arena!
"How great the step of this youth!" This slow exclamation was accidentally leapt out of the red and sweet Sariti's lips with a pair of glittering and seductive eyes.
Duke Gendrosakti was already angry to see how the white tiger did not dare to attack the Creation and how young The brave dwarfs defending the clergyman are now furious to hear his concubine's praise to the troubling youth!
Poisonous jealousy pollute his heart and mind, and his red-faced face grasps the spear of Kyai Santanu near him!
