Rara Mendut got up and followed Tumenggung Wiraguna while continuing to cry. Before they left the cemetery, Rara Mendut was furious and threatened to report Wiraguna's actions to the King of Mataram, Sultan Agung.
"You are very bad. I will report your actions to the King of Mataram so that you will be punished accordingly!" threatened Rara Mendut.
Instantly, Tumenggung Wiraguna became very angry. He then grabbed Rara Mendut's hand to take her home. However, the girl refused and struggled to break free. Once her hand was free, she pulled Tumenggung Wiraguna's kris that was tucked into her waist. Rara Mendut then ran towards her lover's grave. The commander tried to catch up with her.
"Stop, Mendut!" he shouted.
Arriving at Pranacitra's grave, Rara Mendut intended to commit suicide. However, it was too late. Rara Mendut had stabbed his stomach with the kris he was carrying. Her body immediately collapsed and died beside her lover's grave. Seeing this, Tumenggung Wiraguna felt very sorry for his actions.
Regret was useless because everything had already happened. To make amends, Tumenggung Wiraguna buried Rara Mendut in the same grave as Pranacitra. Such is the story of Rara Mendut's struggle to maintain her pride and loyalty.
