Saya adalah anak indonesia dan saya bangga menjadi bagian dari kekayaan budaya negara ini. Tetapi saya juga menyukai salah satu seni/karya negara penjajah. Well...ITS MANGA DOMINATING THE YOUNG ME or maybe ALL SOUTH EAST ASIAN YOUTH that time. siapa yang tak kenal kalimat ini "DENGAN KEKATAN BULAN>> AKAN MENGHUKUM MU!!", " tetot tetot!! (suara khas tiap kali doraemon ngeluarin his magical items :D) dan kalimat pamungkas KAME HAME HA!!!!.. Well, thats all the legendary Japanese manga(my version :p).
well, i have a dream about my sketch becomes one of character in cartoon movie. Introducing to you "Cekeh batari'. this name taken from sansekerta yang artinya klo gak salah pendekar bidadari(angel warrior) :p(lupa2 ingat). im inspired by many movies and cartoons that make Japanese woman with kimono and samurai as a leading character. they are cool, mysterious, beautiful but dangerous. well, cekeh batari too, she is pretty, pretty with that batik, dangerous with that keris, hot with that looks. she is a javanesse assassin. in my country, we know kind of liquid called "jamu" and jamu is such a traditional healthy drink. but in cekeh batari hands, she change it become deathly poison. and i wont tell you how and what ingredients to make jamu as a poisons, only me and cekeh know that (i hope so..hehe :p)..who is exactly cekeh batari?, Well.. shes an assassin rite? so, it must be secrets. from her face, maybe u thinks she is not pure indonesian or javanesse woman. and YES, she is,..cekeh father is a persian merchant named Adarji who is marrying local woman in Trowulan city(capital city in Majapahit kingdom) named Batari . After he moved in to Trowulan city and open a silk shop. Because of the king of Majapahit that time, Sri Rajasanagara or well known as Hayam wuruk dont like the way he open the shop while spreading knowledge and persian culture to villager. Adarji jailed and then executed while batari is pregnant. that time, hayam Wuruk Popular as the leader who is very nationalist and ambitious to spreading Majapahit culture especially to promoting "keris".
back to cekeh batari, she growing up as an outcast and lived in far away from the city with her mom Batari. just once a week she followed her mom selling jamu to the city and every that time she get mock from people by calling her Cekeh Batari With "BUTO Hutan"(NAME OF GIANT) because she is born to be tall than average woman there (cuz her blood mix). her mom get a loyal costumer, an oldman named Ki Budeg(budeg=deaf). knowing cekeh as a smart girl, he teach cekeh how to defend herself with "silat". she is a quick learner.
When she was a teenager, Majapahit facing a civil war (War Paregreg) in 1405-1406 between Wirabhumi against Wikramawardhana. Power struggle happened in order to become the next king of Majapahit. economy ruin, criminal rising, corruption, and majapahit almost become a story. Cekeh Batari mom get killed by 3 mysterious guard. later she know that her mom get killed because she was refuse to use her jamu become a poison. with all this condition cekeh batari promise to revenge. in her process to revenge, she realize that killing is an art not only to satisfied her revenge(this time she known as assassin). The Story of javanesse assasin start from here :) setelah ini, aku masi blum tau bagaimana melanjutkan cerita cekeh batari.
