Awu – Awu Langit were very sad and regretted of things he had said to Roro Rongganis which made her angry. He blamed himself for the careless he done. He didn’t know that his sons were falling asleep while he was working.
Meanwhile, Roro Rengganis kept accusing her husband as a killer of his own sons. “ You ever accused me as the guilty one, Kakang. In fact, you are the one who had caused our sons’ death.” Said Rengganis.
Their son’s death brought them into deep sadness. In forward, Rengganis asked a divorce even though she was still in love with Awu Langit. She gave the chance to Awu Langit for taking care of their son, Purwo Langit. She felt that the time has came for her to go back home to her home land, a heaven. She was steady for the decision.
Awu Awu Langit felt restless hearing Rengganis’ demand because he knew he couldn’t deny her demand. Awu Awu Langit was afraid that Purwo Langit couldn’t see his mother again. But Awu Awu Langit had to accept it. He finally gave one condition to Roro Rengganis which is said that he would do it if Rengganis wanted to keep stay in the world. She was given the house and all inside it. Roro Rongganis lived alone in her house. She could face the world without her family. She fill in her time by doing his favorite activity, which is wavering the clothes.
Time goes on….… in days …….. in months…… in years……
Roro Rengganis still lived alone. Even though her hobby could cover the broken heart that she felt, she still couldn’t hold her loneliness. Sometimes she cried and regretted of what had happened in the past. She didn’t hear any news from her husband and son. She wished that she could see them one day. None of her wavering that could be finished. She let them laid on the small divan inside of the room.
After a long time, her sadness has attacked her body defense. Her muscles was in pain. The Javanese people called it kepegelan, it means having painful in whole of the body muscles. She stopped doing the wavering. In sadness, she went gone to find her husband and son. Some people say that in her journey, her body was gone untraced at a sudden, in other word is mokhsa.
The people felt sorry and sympathy on her sadness. Nobody knows where she had gone to. But actually, she went to her homeland, a heaven. Her leaving had put the people around an impression especially about her painful and kepegelan which was often said. The legend said that is the reason why the people was finally called the princess, Roro Rengganis as a kepegelan nyai.
This calling was finally known by many people and she was famous in the society at large as “Nyai Bagelan”. This name became an allias for a charismatic and honored lady who had ever filled in the Javanese heart at that time and especially in the region of Purworejo city until now.
