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.

Bahurekso asked to Endang Wiranti to disguise as Rantansari and Endang Wiranti agreed it. Arrived in Mataram, Endang met with 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.
