Time is running fast.... It doesn't feel like it's almost close to the seven full moon times. During that time, the Death Flute Twins had followed Nini Sumbi's instructions for mastering the Karang Rogo spell. This seventh full moon is the last decision that Rah Banu and Rah Bono have to carry out. The moment between life and death. Because at that time the Karang Rogo magic was applied.
Rah Banu and Rah Bono were buried in their bodies. Above the ground, only the two heads of the young man appeared.
In the middle between the two young men's heads, Nini Sumbi was seen sitting cross-legged naked. An oddity has been seen in Nini Sumbi since the six to the seventh full moon. His hair which was almost entirely white now had turned black and shiny. And her wrinkled skin tightened again. Of course her face was young again like a woman in her thirties. Even though it couldn't be said to be like a teenage girl, it made her heart happy.
Since this afternoon, the hot sun was scorching the skin of the body and scalp, Nini Sumbi continued to sit with her eyes closed. Meanwhile, Rah Banu and Rah Bono, the Deathly Flute Twins, remained silent with their bodies buried and their heads sticking out of the ground. The application of the Karang Rogo aji is very strange. But all that has been passed by the two young men. Now comes the moment of final determination. They look forward to the appearance of the full moon.
A few moments later the night penetrated nature around the valley. The full moon had appeared.... That's when suddenly Nini Sumbi's body shook. A chill spread from all over the body. Until you see the woman's head puffing white steam. This woman stretched out her hand, and secondly, a palm was immediately affixed to the Deathly Flute Twins' heads.
This continued until midnight. It seemed that Nini Sumbi was tormented by the application of the Karang Rogo spell.
The cold air slowly turned into hot air. Until Rah Banu and Rah Bono felt like their skulls were being burned. Yet with extraordinary fortitude they persisted. And follow the instructions of the teacher as he has been taught. While this was going on, Nini Sumbi kept reciting spells. The incantations were aimed at a person's spirit.
"Mbah Jago Karang... please allow me to pass down the Karang Rogo magic that I have not perfect to these two of my students. I ask for perfection.... Rep, sirep... Matek aji panitis... lungsuro maring ingsun... perfect kang benarning kasekten…” Moments later, the weather suddenly turned dark. The moon is like being swept by black clouds. A strong wind howled. That's when suddenly seen sliding a strange light like a falling star mole. The strange light slid from the south, and floated down to the mouth of the valley... Right above Nini Sumbi's head, the strange light exploded.
"Bhusss...!"
The strange light turned into a wisp of gray smoke which then vanished into the woman's crown. After a while there was an oddity. There were two screams in succession. The Twin Flutes of Death were like being squeezed by a giant force. Both of their bodies lifted up and broke into the ground where they buried their bodies. Now it seems a tense situation. Nini Sumbi's body was almost entirely buried in the ground where her two young students had fallen into, and was in a state of motionlessness. As for the body of the Twin Flutes of Death, whether it is dead or still alive. Because the two twin male bodies that were scattered on the ground even then did not seem to move. Silence permeated the nature around the valley where three human children were puzzled as to whether they were still alive or were they killed during the implementation of the Karang Rogo spell.

Meanwhile in the north of the valley... in the middle of a silent silent night, a girl had been standing in front of the hut. Her eyes looked up at the sky where the full moon which was brightly round and admired for its beauty suddenly disappeared. This strange incident made him transfixed and did not understand. In the distance, the howls of forest wolves could be heard, adding to the eerie atmosphere of that dark night.
"Weird...!? The moon suddenly disappeared. The air turned hot like day time. And strange light like that I've never seen before. It's also unusual for the coyote's howling in the middle of the night..." muttered the girl This.
There was the sound of a door opening, and a hunched-over grandfather stepped out.
"My granddaughter... come inside. It's not good for a girl to stay out of the hut late at night!" said the old man as he turned up the light on the front porch.
"Fine grandpa..!" answered the girl, as she stepped up the plank steps of the hut, then stepped inside. Secretly he gasped because the old man had not slept even though he had closed his bedroom door since this afternoon.
"Grandpa hasn't slept yet...?" he asked. This man did not answer. He sank his body into the bamboo chair with a sigh.
"You see something strange, Panji...?" This grandfather even asked back. This girl named Panji approached. His head nodded.
"That's right, Grandpa...! Grandpa knows...?" "Hm, come on, my grandson! You sleep! It's already late at night. Soon the moon will appear again..." said the grandfather while once again sighing. Panji stared at the old man for a moment, then replied.
"Okay, Grandfather...!"
Then without looking back he continued to enter his room and locked the door from the inside. Meanwhile this man was still sitting on a bamboo chair staring out of the hut.
Who is this grandpa? He was an old man named Lung Gadung who had only been living in the North for a few months. He was an old man with high knowledge who secretly hid himself in that quiet place. Due to his advanced age, since a dozen years ago he had resigned from the Martial Arts Forest. Even now people will not know who he is anymore.
What Lung Gadung said to his granddaughter turned out to be true. After a while, the moon appeared again. The weather is bright again. And the heat slowly disappeared, and changed as usual again.
Panji slightly opened the bedroom window to see the situation outside. A smile appeared on his lips to see the situation outside was bright again as before. The feeling of dread disappeared. He sighed, then closed the window. And lay his body on the planks paved with straw covered with rough cloth while heaving a sigh of relief.
Grandfather Lung Gadung turned off the front porch light. And stepped into the room. Then close the door. The simple hut on the side of the forest was quiet again...
***
"Grandpa...! Last night's incident was really strange...! Did you notice a strange light coming from the south? It looks like a broom star, or like dropping star droppings!" asked Panji to grandfather Lung Gadung, when they had just finished eating breakfast.
The old man didn't rush to reply. He took a sip of his bitter coffee. Then put it back on the mat that was spread out in the living room of the hut. Then exhale. Panji seemed impatient waiting for the grandfather's answer. he said again.
"Grandfather... is that a good sign or a bad sign? And what is that light? That strange light appears after the full moon disappears and it becomes pitch black!"
"I understand your anxiety, my granddaughter...! I know all those strange events. Good or bad omens, I don't know...! But we better be on guard against all possibilities that will happen...!" Lung Gadung said looking at the girl.
Panji nodded with his face down. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the grandfather's answer. But he just kept silent, even though his heart was secretly saying.
"Grandpa Lung Gadung must know...! However, he deliberately hides his worries in front of me! My gut tells me that this strange incident is a bad feeling! I don't know what will happen...?"
After a while, this girl began to dare to speak. It seemed that what he was about to say had been hidden in his heart for a long time. But it was only today that he dared to say it.
"Grandfather... actually I..." It was difficult for the girl to get the words out. For a moment he fell silent again, swallowing hard.
"Say it, my granddaughter! Frankness is better than stealth. Because as a girl who is old enough you need that. Say what is hidden in your heart!" said Lung Gadung in a flat voice, as if he could read his granddaughter's heart.
"Grandfather...! Actually, I want to ask your permission to go to the King's City. I will dedicate myself to the Pengging Kingdom, because as I know, my late father was a former Senapati of the Pengging Kingdom or Mamenang...! Besides that, I also want to ask where is my mother to the people in the King's City. Who knows, maybe they know where she is now. Is she still alive or is she gone in this world..." Finally Panji was able to say the words he had been holding in his heart in a slightly trembling voice. .
Grandpa Lung Gadung nodded his head. He smiled at the girl in front of him who was sitting with his head down.
"I already suspected what had been hidden in your heart, my grandson...!" said the old man. Then continue.
"Your late father was a former Senapati of the Mamenang or Pengging Kingdom. It's no wonder that you also want to serve the Kingdom! I can't stop you from doing that. And I think it's time for you to separate from me. You're old enough to be independent and determine your path in life. ."
"Regarding your mother..." continued Lung Gadung, after taking a deep breath. "I thought you wouldn't be able to find him in the King's City. Because after leaving you, he left without saying a word. However, he left a letter between your clothes. At that time you were only five or six years old..."
"What's in the letter, Grandfather...?" asked Panji with his eyes looking at the old man.
"The letter said, firstly, he entrusted you to you, and asked me to take care of you until you grow up, and give him the knowledge of superiority. Secondly, he wanted you to be able to serve yourself to the Mamenang Kingdom. Thirdly, he hoped that when you grow up, don't look for him. In the letter she said that she had fallen in love with a man from China, and that she was leaving to get married and live in that country...!" Lung Gadung said in a flat voice.
For a moment Panji was speechless. A pair of teary eyes appeared. "How could mother do that? Why didn't she take me to that man's country?" Imperceptibly he said with a hissing voice. Lung Gadung smiled. He could understand the girl's feelings.
"You can't say that, my grandson...! How did you understand your mother's problem at that time? And if you were taken to China, maybe you wouldn't know the Mamenang Kingdom. That country is too far across the sea...! You nor will you know me! Your mother expects that you, as a descendant of a royal person, will be able to follow in your father's footsteps...!" comforted this old man by stroking his hair.
Panji nodded stiffly, and wiped his tears that were streaming down his cheeks.
"Let me try to forget mother...! But you certainly let me go right?" Panji said trying to smile, even though the smile looked stiff. Lung Gadung answered with a nod of his head.
This girl's heart was beyond excited. With emotion he hugged the old man who had been caring for and educating him. Not only in terms of the sciences of excellence, but also in terms of other knowledge. It was as if Lung Gadung was a substitute for his father, or his own grandfather.
"When are you leaving, my granddaughter...?" asked Lung Gadung, after a while of silence between them. It seems that this grandfather is hiding his tears in the right corner of the eyelid. Feelings of emotion and sadness spread across the old man's face, even though with his smile he could hide the sadness.
"I thought today too, Grandfather...!" replied Panji.
"Then pack up! I'll escort you all the way to the borders of King's City!" Lung Gadung said with an insipid smile. Panji nodded, then stood up. Dan rushed into his room to fix clothes, as well as the necessities he would bring. The old man sipped the rest of his bitter coffee, then got up and stepped into the hall.
*
"Are you going to stay in the cottage?" asked Panji, shortly after they made their way through the forest. Lung Gadung shook his head.
"I will probably return to the top of Galunggung to spend the rest of my life...!" he said. Panji said nothing more. The journey is done by running fast. The girl was amazed to see the prowess of the old man's sprint skills who couldn't help but be his own teacher. He quickly offset his grandfather's movements by increasing his running speed. It turned out that Panji was able to catch up with the old man.
How long have they been traveling for? Cross the river, penetrate the forest and cross several villages. It didn't take long for Lung Gadung to hold back his running movements.
"We have reached the border, my grandson...!" he said. "I can only lead you all the way here...!"
"Grandfather...! How great is your kindness and service in educating and nurturing me until I grow up. I don't know what I should repay...!" Panji said with tears in his eyes. The old man chuckled.
"Come on, Panji, my grandson...! Meet Senapati Pramudita! And tell him your wish. He will surely accept you with pleasure!" "Grandpa knows that Royal Senapati?"
asked Panji stunned. Lung Gadung smiled and replied.
"Among my two foster children apart from your mother, is Pramudita! Well, give my greetings to her...! And take good care of yourself...!" Finished saying, suddenly the image of the old man's body flashed. Suddenly disappeared from Panji's eyes. This virgin only saw a white shadow that seemed to refract through the air, and disappeared behind the thick forest...
"Grandpa...?! Ah, you..." Those were the only words left in this virgin's mouth. Without even having the chance to kiss the old man's hand again, the old man who was so loved and respected had vanished so quickly. Panji wiped the tears that rolled down his cheeks. Then pinched the cloth bundle that was lying on the ground. He soon dashed into the boundaries of King's City... We turned to the South...
***
A silat school that has quite a big influence in the Southern region is called Halimun Sakti. The head of the college is a man in his forties. Handsome even though he is a bit old. White and muscular. It was clear that he was someone who loved to train, and always kept his body in good shape. The head of the Halimun Sakti College is named Badar Saga!
Badar Saga had two wives who were both barren. Until now the man has not obtained offspring. The first wife was named Nyi Rumpi, and the second wife was named Tumpuk Undung. His two wives were beautiful faces. Nyi Rumpi is the daughter of a boarding school teacher whom he has proposed to since he fell in love at first sight, while Tumpuk Undung is a girl who is crazy about him. Until there is a relationship outside of marriage. It was known by Nyi Rumpi. It turned out that his wife had a silk heart. He ordered Badar Saga to marry him. Thus, until they have been married for more than ten years, they have not had children until now. Even though Badar Saga really wanted it.
Tutuk Undung, who lives in a building on the edge of a small lake that her husband deliberately made for this woman, seems to be starting to feel dissatisfied with her current situation. I don't know what the devil has whispered in his heart, so that he wants to dominate the Halimun Sakti School which has a large territory, and results are not small. Because a silat school, which can be said to be a martial arts party, is like a small kingdom. Where the people around the area are very much subject to the regulations made by the head of the Halimun Sakti College party.
Nyi Rumpi's jealousy is because she feels second to Badar Saga. Her husband rarely came to visit her. And he felt like an exile in that remote place. Only two helpers and a single male accompany him in the building where he lives.
Because of that, gradually a feeling of dissatisfaction arose in him. Until this woman's heart arose a crazy desire, namely to want to control the Halimun Sakti Party.
*
"Parta...! come you...!" Tutuk Undung called his male helper.
"Yes, Ndoro Ayu...!" replied this black-skinned, burly-bodied man, as he bent over to the woman. In a moment, he had arrived in front of the lonely and sad-eyed master. This man's heart was trembling. He had been called several times by his master. And every time they met, he always saw that his master's eyes seemed to contain extraordinary attraction. Until it made his heart beat fast, and his heart pounded. There's always something to ask. Or sometimes asked to do work that is not that important.
"What's wrong Ndoro Ayu...! Is there anything I can help you with?" asked Party. His head was down. He didn't dare to look. Stack Undung did not answer. For a moment he studied his servant's face and sturdy body.
"What are you doing?" he asked. "Servant is chopping wood
kar, Ndoro Ayu..." Parta said. Her heart was beating faster. Because she saw her employer's dress with the chest half open. And the cleavage of her breasts which were so small looked clearly white. Tutuk Undung smiled, then said slowly.
"You can help me, can't you?" he asked.
"Of... of course you can, Ndoro Ayu...! I'm an errand boy posted here to help with Ndoro Ayu's needs...!" Parta said a little stuttered.
"Good! Hm, Parta...! Where are the baby aunts?"
"One person was boiling water in the kitchen and another person went shopping at the Turi Village market, Ndoro Ayu...!"
Stack Undung. nodding. His pair of eyes seemed to roam all over Parta's body. Like watching his muscular body.
"I want you to help me move the wardrobe into my room, Parta. I'll move it near the window!" Stack Undung said. Party's heart jolted. "Sliding cupboards?" It didn't feel like he was hissing.
"That's right, Parta! You don't mind, do you?" Stack Undung said.
"N... no, Ndoro Ayu.... But..." Parta did not continue his words. His throat felt tight. It wasn't that he felt reluctant or rejected the job, but it felt like it was impolite. Moreover, at that time her male employer was not there.
"You don't need to worry about anything, Parta! Come... come in!" said Tumpuk Undung as he stood up and stepped into the room. Somewhat doubtful boy errand boy. But he was forced to follow his master and stepped into the woman's room, which he had entered for the first time.
Parta stood staring at the door of the room. His eyes were dazzled when he saw his mistress suddenly take off her upper clothes. Instantly his blood was absorbed, when the woman said in a whisper.
"Parta...! Close the bedroom door, and... lock it all..."
"Ah... what do you mean, Ndoro Ayu...?" Parta asked in a hoarse, trembling voice. His heart seemed to stop beating.
"Parta! Carry out my orders!" Stack Undung snapped softly. This man gasped, his legs receding backwards with his face turning pale and pale.
"Well... well... Ndoro Ayu..." Parta said while locking the door. Finished locking the bedroom door, he stood dumbfounded with his head down, not daring to look at the woman.
"Parta! Come closer!" The soft, powerful voice forced Parta's feet to step closer. At that time, Tumpuk Undung had stepped closer, impatiently waiting for Parta, who was walking stiffly.
"Parta..." hissed this woman with a smile on her lips. And that pair of droopy eyes now sparkled like the eyes of a wild tiger. But again, Parta looked down, not daring to look forward, her body shivering even more.
"Parta! Are you a man or a sissy? Why don't you take advantage of this open opportunity?" said Tumpuk Undung with a slightly annoyed heart. But he couldn't hide the excitement he had been keeping in his chest.
"Ndoro Ayu... I understand your loneliness, because Ndoro Gusti Badar Saga rarely comes to see you. But... don't force me to do that, Ndoro Ayu...! I'm afraid your husband will find out... And... I will this is an errand boy….!” Hearing Parta's words, Tumpuk Undung smiled. Her arms suddenly crept across the man's broad chest.
"Parta! You are brave enough to be a replacement for my husband! You know, Parta? I'm starting to hate Badar Saga! He has been unfair! You see, I was abandoned without being cared for. He hasn't been here for more than a month. I don't care if you're a helper! It's the same for me! And... if you want, you can occupy a high position in the Halimun Sakti Party!" said this woman.
Parta held back her passionate chest vibrations. Tumpuk Undung's words made his eyes widen.
"Occupying a high position in the Halimun Sakti Party?" he snapped.
"That's right! Don't you want it? And I will be your companion, as your wife!" said Stack Undung softly.
"Crazy! Something that is impossible, and unreasonable!" protested Party.
"Why not? Everything can be arranged! And I will arrange our plans! Now forget all that... Parta! I... I really want you, Parta...! I need you..." This woman's voice seemed to be getting louder. softly. And suddenly hugged the man with passionate passion...
The Parta's stronghold fell. He carried the half-naked woman's body onto her master's bed. And every obstacle in their bodies was immediately removed. After a moment the two human children had drowned in the flames of hell!
Parta is indeed not a sissy, and is now nothing more than a wild horse riding in the pasture. Crossing hills, and breaking through thickets! In a short time, Tumpuk Undung lay down gasping for breath. And the mighty wild horse rolled down with a grin of satisfaction... What a shame!
