KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Repatriation

All laughed at the silly behavior of Manah Valley and Wanapati which always warms the atmosphere. Although only a few moments back together, but their familiarity is like an old friend.

“Nak Wanapati, stay here a few more days with your friends,” said Ki Demang broke the silence on the sidelines of the meal.

“Before I said thank you Ki Demang. But apparently, my friends and I want to go home to college immediately and report to our teacher,” Wanapati replied to stop chewing her food.

“Ohh, so so. Then, what about you guys, Kenanga, Kanthil and Cempaka?” ki Demang asked the three White Spear College disciples.

“We also want to go home to our college soon Ki Demang. Because it's been a long time since we left college, we were afraid our teacher would get angry” Kenanga replied.

“So yes. Alright if you guys want to go home to your college, I on behalf of the village chief thank you all for this misunderstanding,” Ki Demang said.

“But because the day has started late afternoon. I hope you guys do not reject my request to stay overnight again at my residence,” continued Ki Demang.

All nodded in agreement to the offer that Ki Demang gave. But not for Nawang, the girl just smiled and brought her body closer to the Manah Valley, without paying attention to Ki Demang's conversation.

“Hey, aren't you Nawang the grandson of Nyi Ampel?” asked Ki Demang to remember Nawang's face.

“Iya is right Ki Demang, I am Nawang grandson of Nyi Ampel who lives not far from the village market!” answer Nawang.

“Are you two lovers. How do you sit close together and it looks like you fit in?” asked Ki Demang to Nawang who saw the girl close her seat to Manah Valley.

Nawang could not answer, the girl just smiled with a slightly reddened face in embarrassment at Ki Demang's question. While the Manah Valley was shocked to cough because his mouth was full of food.

While Ni Luh had his face in red wringing the tip of his own clothes holding back the anger because it was actually him who was supposed to be sitting next to the Manah Valley.

“Hoi Wanapati, you know, soon there will be an angry one,” exclaimed Jayadipa responding to Ki Demang's question.

“Really, oh I'm scared!” sahut Wanapati with a seductive face Ni Luh.

“Ih, you two are the same,” growled Ni Luh hit softly on Jayadipa's shoulders and Wanapati who sat to his right and left.

Everyone laughed at the joke Wanapati and Jayadipa made. Not except Dian who now began to show her sweet smile, although still shrouded in guilt.

***

Morning had arrived, the sun was beginning to appear from the east occasionally blocked by the lush trees in front of Ki Demang's residence. Manah Valley and the group were about to leave to return to the village.

However, in contrast to Nawang, after the Andini abduction, the girl was appointed as Andini's personal bodyguard. By agreement, Nawang can visit his grandmother at any time without ignoring the orders to keep and train Andini a little science kanuragan.

Dian Lasmini—adik from Ki Demang's wife returned to his village, Kedhung Kayang Village, accompanied by several courtiers. While three students of White Spear College—Kenanga, Kanthil and Cempaka chose to return to his college and apologized to the teacher.

“We please say goodbye to Ki Demang,” Wanapati told Ki Demang.

“Be careful on the road, thank you for your help. Our home will always be open for you,” Ki Demang said.

“Be careful of the Valley, sister Wanapati, brother Jayadipa and sister Ni Luh are beautiful,” exclaimed Andini waved his hand.

“Wah, if Ni Luh was given the designation ‘kakak gorgeous’!” gerutu Wanapati was greeted with laughter by all who stood in front of Ki Demang's residence.

“Heart Valley!” said Nawang by holding the right hand of Manah Valley as if reluctant to separate.

“Ehem, ahem, there will soon be another war, Jayadipa. You know that,” ledek Wanapati saw the reaction of Ni Luh whose face was a dead red held back angrily by squeezing the tip of her own clothes.

“Ohh, I'm afraid Wanapati,” said Jayadipa while running around Ni Luh.

“Ih, you guys are!” furious Ni Luh who tried to pursue Wanapati and Jayadipa.

Again they were made to laugh by the jokes of Wanapati and Jayadipa before parting in front of the gate of Ki Demang's residence.

Andini's hand was accompanied by their farewell. The Manah Valley and the troupe walked east towards Kedhung Wuni Village, while the Kenanga troupe walked west, to return to their college.

Slowly, the Valley of Manah and the group moved away from the residence Ki Demang, passing through a rocky road with a large tree to the right left that made the atmosphere beautiful.

Sometimes they meet and greet each other with locals who want to carry out their activities. Either go to the fields, go to the rice fields, or go to the village market that is always crowded every morning.

The rocky road begins to narrow which indicates that soon they reach the rice fields and fields of the population. Not a few people who work in their fields. Corn, soybean, and vegetables are the main products of the village of Lapan Aji which is then set aside for sale to the village of Kedhung Kayang, such as Ki Demang's agreement with Ki Bondan.

“Jayadipa, what do you expect from our college?” wanapati asked Jayadipa breaking the silence.

“What do you mean, Wanapati. Why ask like that?” jayadipa replied, asking Wanapati.

“Which is for sure we must spread kindness throughout this country. There is no hostility, there is only peace and mutual understanding of each other and protecting the weak,” said Ni Luh interrupted the conversation of his two friends.

“You're right Ni Luh. Not just looking for a name or fame. The Holy Spirit College runs on the teachings of goodness as Gendon always taught,” Wanapati added.

Jayadipa and Ni Luh walked behind, while the Manah Valley stayed away and was busy chasing Wanapati. While enjoying the view of the expanse of rice fields, Jayadipa chatted with Ni Luh.

“Ni Luh, may I ask you something?” jayadipa was a little serious.

“What is Jayadipa?” sahut Ni Luh frowned. “You want to ask what?”

“How do you feel about Manah Valley?” search Jayadipa to Ni Luh.

Suddenly Jayadipa's question made Ni Luh startled for a moment and her face flushed red, then stopped her steps.

“I know, from childhood you two were always together. Even when the Valley fell in the Arip-Tariff, dying in the match, to the point of pretending to be poisoned by Ki Jalmo, you were the one who was worried about him. To the extent that you always come to the abyss, even without the knowledge of others. But I always pay attention to you Ni Luh?” jayadipa.

“Although Valley has been expelled from college, don't you come to the house of that silly boy often?”

“Why are you asking like that Jayadipa?” reply Ni Luh his face flushed. “Indeed for a long time I loved Valley. But does it have to be the woman who expresses her feelings first?”

“I know that the silly is less sensitive to women. But I don't think he's thinking about relationships with women either!” sahut Jayadipa smiled. “Just calm Ni Luh, I will help you!”

“True Jayadipa, thank you!” close Ni Luh with a sweet smile.

“Hoi, you two are too slow. Come on, I can't wait to go home!” shouted Wanapati.
