After they got married, Rara Kinasih asked Ki Ageng Mangir to take her back to the Mataram Kingdom. Ki Ageng Mangir who had been deceived, decided to go to the Mataram Kingdom and had the desire to kill Panembahan Senopati but, in the end Ki Ageng Mangir died when he worshiped Panembahan Senopati in Watugilang.

At the end of the interview, Iqbal expressed his hopes for the implementation of the #9 Art Degree.
