Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Bu 19: The Bitter Springs

*Month Worshiper's Cheer (Mother's Work)* 

Inevitably, Ragab did not abandon his horse. One roof was assigned to guard the horses. While the other nine temples also climbed up to the Green River.

After a little hike, it turns out the river branched. Ragabid not choose to climb to the right into the forest, because that's where the Bitter Springs are located.

After continuing to climb inside the forest, they finally arrived at a lake that was not so big. Half of the lake is covered with bamboo trees. However, there were three types of large trees that grew so prominent. The direction of the three trees grows leaning towards the top of the lake water, so that if the leaves fall or the branches are broken, the feeding will fall into the water.

The lake is called the Bitter Water.

“Gusti, how to find Moon Worship Keris in a spring of this size?” ask one of the temples named Kerangat.

“I invite you to dive looking,” said Ragabidak.

The man who was always in good health then took off his shirt. The roofers just stood by the lake looking at their master.

“Come dive!” ragabidak said while pushing the back of a tile.

Jburs!

The driven centeng was jumped into the lake and had time to wave.

“Hahaha!” another chuckle laugh.

“You guys are waiting for me to throw also into the water?” asked Ragabidak with glaring eyes.

“No, Wrestling!” they answered, then hurriedly put down his celurit weapon and stripped him of his clothes, including their pants were also opened. They don't want to go home in wet pants.

Jbur jbur jbur …!

Akhinrya to the eight temples jumped into the water. Following then Ragabidak. He also took off his pants, but still wore his pants.

The ten men then swam to the dive.

“We're late,” says Wangiwulan.

Alma Fatara, Rawil Sembalit and Wangiwulan stalked Ragabidak activity from behind bamboo trees on the other side of the lake.

“Didn't that guy drag Kakang Rawil away?” ask Alma.

“Iya. His name is Ragabidak,” replied Rawil Sembalit.

“That's my sister,” says Wangiwulan.

“There will be a problem if both of you are seen by Ragabidak,” Alma said.

“Then how? There is no way we can wait until dark,” said Wangiwulan.

“I assume, if the night is actually a greater chance to find the keris. Usually an heirloom that has great power, will glow in the dark,” said Alma. “We have to wait for them to leave here.”

Meanwhile, the day continues to go into twilight. Repeatedly Ragabidak and his nine tiles appeared drowned in the small lake. To find an object at the bottom, the breadth of the lake includes giving difficulties, especially the remaining one hour to magrib.

There was no change in the way the search was conducted by Ragabidak and his chosen roof tiles, indicating that they had not seen anything suspected of being an heirloom.

“Aaak!” screams suddenly a tile who was diving.

His screams rang out as he came to the surface in a chaotic manner, for it was not him who swam, but was calmed by a huge snake.

“There's a wait!” exclaims restrained Wangiwulan surprised.

Alma Fatara and Rawil Sembalit were also shocked. They saw a black snake as thick as an adult's thigh wrapped around a strong tile. The tears were instantly made to roil.

“Aaak!” the tile was still screaming in pain in the twists.

“There's ulaaar! There ulaaar!” another shrieked as he came to the surface to take a breath. He was very surprised when he saw his friend had died wrapped around by a large snake again creepy.

Some of the tiles that had already appeared to the surface were instantly shocked. Hurriedly they swam towards the edge with a feeling of panic.

The black snake was now standing in the middle of the lake with its upper body wrapped around the body of the temple. The head of the snake stood high above the head of the tile, its mouth tightly hissing with its green forked tongue trembling outside.

Cprok!

How surprised everyone, when he saw the snake finally grabbed the head of the roof tile round. What a terrible sight.

Zurse!

He did not quickly shake his left arm. Then a beam of red light shot quickly into the nape of the snake.

Arrr!

The blow made the head and the body of the serpent jerk, The serpent roared loudly. It makes the head of the roof tile in the mouth of the snake vomit in a green slimy condition and has been damaged not clearly. While the winding on the body of the tile is removed.

The big snake did not suffer any injuries to the back of his head, but he was angry at Rabadak. He released his victim, but turned to Ragabidak who was still in the water.

“I have to help my brother!” Wangiwulan.

“Leave!” prevent Alma. Then he said confidently, “Kakak Kak Sis Wangi will be nothing.”

Seel! Zurse!

The black snake moved suddenly darting against Ragabidak, its wide gaping mouth revealing its fangs and branching tongue. However, Ragab did not welcome him with a beam of red light like that.

The beam struck the snout of the snake, making its head jolt backwards. After that, Ragabid not swim fast towards the edge.

“Quick, Gusti!” shouted the roof tiles who were still naked at the edge of the lake.

He did not swim fast while looking back. But apparently, the big snake was not seen chasing.

The atmosphere of the afternoon really turned tense.

After Ragabidak arrived at the edge, he and his roof tiles saw the victim who was dead, again wrapped around by the snake. The waiter of the lake then pulled his victim into the water.

“Sial!” maki Ragabidak's.

“Gusti Ragabidak! Gusti Ragabidak!” shouted a man from a distance.

He did not quickly look in the far direction. While the roof look back. They saw a tile in uniform like the others, namely black, running in a hurry to come to the lake.

They did not quickly go ashore.

“Gusti Ragabidak! Raden Runok Ulung comes attacking to home!” the shriek that came with a loud breath.

“What?!” shock Ragabidak. He thought, if Raden Runok Ulung himself who came to attack up to the house, it means the situation is already extraordinary status.

Surprise is also experienced by Wangiwulan. However, the news left him speechless confused.

No hurry to put on his pants. Without caring anymore about his clothes, Ragabidak quickly fluttered away leaving the tiles that are also competing to dress.

“I have to go home help Dad!” said Wangiwulan in his hiding.

“Do not!” prevent Alma. “Kakak and Kakang do not forget, this hostility worsened because of whom? If you show up, you will be even more blamed. I know what caused Raden Runok Ulung to attack Brother's residence. Let me break them. You go back to the forest to meet Anjengan and the others. Tonight too, you guys should leave Kademangan!”

“But Alma, Father and Raden Runok Ulung have high devotion,” said Wangiwulan heavy to comply with Alma's recommendations.

“If Kakang Rawil and Brother Wulan doubt me, then I will also take my hands off and not care about your family affairs. Remember, me and my four best friends want to be involved because they want to unite you and your love. If you don't want to obey, what can you do. I will not care about two families Raden and Heritage of Moon Worship,” said Alma.

Rawil Sembalit and Wangiwulan became silent at Alma's threatening words. Rawil Sembalit grabbed her lover's right hand and grasped it, code it in his grasp. Wangiwulan looked at her lover who then nodded to him.

“Alright, Alma. We trust you,” said Wangiwulan finally.

“Go meet Anjengan and friends, then leave tonight. I will try to prevent the fall of lives,” Alma said.

Claps!

Alma suddenly disappeared because she was too fast. The level of Wangiwulan magic has not been able to follow the level of Alma Fatara's movement. Therefore, he and his lover can only be surprised to find Alma knowingly disappeared.

Meanwhile, the roof tiles had already run down leaving the Bitter Water Lake. They had to give up the death of one of their friends. (BH)
