The incident made Nyai Ageng Bagelen feel embarrassed and angry, causing contention with Raden Awu-Awu sky. And finally he delivered a message "supata / wewaler" for all the children and grandchildren and their offspring, so or do not raise cattle.
Painful or distressing events that happened back on Tuesday Wage. At that time still harvest soy and black glutinous rice. Both her daughter and Roro Roro Pitrang Taker still happy to play. But not, as usual, until the afternoon of the second daughter does not go home.
Done weave Nyai Ageng Bagelen sought. Because it does not find it, she asked her husband. But the answer Raden Awu-Awu sky seems less wear. With feelings of anger and annoyance "disongkelah" black glutinous rice and soybeans in the barn so that its contents scattered far flung him down in the village Katesan and Wingko Tinumpuk.
How shocked Nyai Ageng Bagelen when seeing both of her beloved daughter lying limp on the rice granary. After being approached turned out they had died.
Since the events of life Nyai Ageng Bagelen with Raden Awu-Awu sky is always tinged with the quarrel. Consequently Raden Awu-Awu Sky decided to return to the region, Awu-Awu, while Nyai Ageng Bagelen remain in Bagelen to govern the country.
One time there was news that Raden Awu-Awu died in the village sky-Awu Awu.
