One
day, Bahurekso went to Kalisalak to meet Dewi Rantansari. When he arrived
there, Bahurekso was charmed and fell in love with Rantansari, vice versa
Rantansari fell in love with him. So, Bahurekso cancelled his plan that wanted
to propose Rantansari to Sulutan Mataram. He proposed Rantansari to himself.
Sultan Mataram didn’t know about it. On his way back to Mataram, he was
thinking how to tell to Sultan Mataram about what actually happened there, that
he had proposed Ratntansari to himself not to Sultan Mataram. Sudddenly he met
another beautiful girl. She was beautiful as Rantansari, but she was not
Rantansari. She was Endang Wiranti, a daughter of serabi seller from Kalibeluk
village. So, Bahurekso had an idea to introduce Endang Wiranti to Sultan
Mataram as Rantansari.

Sultan Mataram and suddenly Endang fainted. Sultan Mataram was suspicious. When
Endang awake she told the truth that she was not Rantansari, but she was Endang
Wiranti from Kalibeluk and she was a child of serabi seller. And she told
Sultan Mataram that Bahurekso had planned it to deceive Sultan Mataram because Bahurekso had fallen in love with
Rantansari that should be married with Sultan Mataram.
Because
of Endang’s honesty, Sultan Mataram gave her some money to continue to sell
serabi and asked her to go back to Kalibeluk. Endang was very sorry to Sultan
Mataram about the incident. Because of his dishonesty, Bahurekso was punished
by Sultan Mataram. He had to open the dense forest that was very dangerous,
named Alas Roban, because there were full of demons inside. It was a hard punishment, Bahurekso had to
cut down the big trees and fought with the all demons inside Alas Roban. Bahurekso
accepted the punishment as the responsible of what he did. Bahurekso did the
punishment well, he could open the forest and he won to fight with the genie
and demons inside Alas Roban.
