Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Job 23: Alma's Peace Offer

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

“Kluwing is my former female servant,” Raden Runok Ulung said. “But she's an ordinary woman who has no magic.”

“Twenty years is enough time for him to learn the science of magic!” sahut Raden Gondo Sego from the terrace. “He must have taken revenge so he killed your grandson, Runok Ulung!”

Raden Runok Ulung fell silent with a sharp look. He remembered more than twenty years ago. He and his son were cruel to his servants, one of them to his female servant named Kluwing.

“Are you sure the woman who killed my grandson Kluwing?” ask Raden Runok Ulung to Alma.

“Hahaha! I remember hearing his name like that. Kluwingian. Kluwing called his boyfriend by the name of Ki Bendung,” Alma replied calmly.

“I don't think Ki Bendung, but Ki Bending,” errat Rawe Sego confidently.

“Aaah yes. Grandpa's right. I think Ki Bending is his name. The power is high,” Alma said confirming.

“I just suspect that Kluwing was picked up as a student by Ki Bending,” said Rawe Sego.

“If you already know who your grandson's killer is, then get out of my residence, Runok Ulung!” remove Raden Gondo Sego. “Your actions that violate the Red Line, I will raise it to Gusti Prabu Manggala Pasa!”

“Adukan, I'm not afraid!” challenge Raden Runok Ulung.

“Seraaang!” shouted someone suddenly with a thunderous voice.

Surprised they all heard the command. They all looked towards the gate.

It turns out that Raden Bagus Penjogo has arrived with dozens of sword temples. Raden Bagus Penjogo who rode a galloping horse was about to terrorize any enemy he met. While the roofers behind him ran with both feet.

“Stop, Dad!” narisantai shouted quickly again loudly.

The high cry of Narisantai surprised his father, making Raden Bagus Penjogo immediately pull the tight reins of his horse. The run of the roof stopped.

“Not Raden Gondo Sego's Family killed Jaran Telu!” narisantai.

“If not the Gondo Sego Family, then who?!” asked Raden Bagus Penjogo with an angry tone and face. Since then anger and resentment have been clinging to his chest.

“Kluwing!” answer Raden Runok Ulung.

“Kluwing? Looks like I'm familiar with that name,” said Raden Bagus Penjogo.

“Your crimes in the past have made your servants take revenge,” chirped Raden Gondo Sego.

“It'll be dark soon, I suggest Grandpa, Uncle and Beautiful Brother go home first. Revenge can be done tomorrow!” imbau Alma Fatara's.

“Dad, Black Ball!” exclaimed Raden Bagus Penjogo to his father while pointing Alma Fatara.

“Hahaha!” Alma laughed, revealing her toothless teeth. “Despite it Grandpa and Uncle want to try to snatch my heirloom? Remember, you are grieving, do not let your suffering increase!”

“Bogged!” maki Raden Bagus Penjogo then jumped off the back of his horse. He dashed in the air towards Alma Fatara while frowning her scoff.

However, Raden Bagus Penjogo kept astonished at seeing his whip rope as if held back by something, preventing the whip from reaching Alma. Alma stood still in the face of the attack.

The existence of something that holds the tip of the whip, making Raden Bagus Penjogo must land earlier than his estimate. He tugged at his whip which turned out to be attracted also by something that initially did not seem.

“Uncle, do you choose to face my magic or Black Ball?” bargain Alma who stood relaxed and smiled faintly to Raden Bagus Penjogo.

“Sial! He faced me with this relaxed,” maki Raden Bagus Penjogo in heart. His eyes stared hard at Alma.

“This young lady really cannot be underestimated,” Inner Raden Gando Sego.

Suddenly the thread element of the whip Raden Bagus Penjogo fell, as if sliced by a thin thread of red color that ensnared him.

“Hiaat!” shouted Raden Bagus Penjogo before his whip was completely broken and decomposed. He jumped towards Alma with a faint yellow shining hand.

The tuks!

“Hekrr!” lamented Raden Bagus Penjogo with the body stopped curving in the air. His face immediately turned red with both eyes swerving maximum red, blood and saliva spilling out from his wide gaping mouth. While the faint yellow light on his left hand was extinguished and his whimper was detached from the right hand grip.

It happened when suddenly Alma had moved, forward with the right index finger shining purple that had pierced into the stomach of Raden Bagus Penjogo. Alma Fatara had used the knowledge of the Angel Spirit Index to paralyze Raden Bagus Penjogo, but Alma reduced the level of his magic power, so Raden Bagus did not lose his life.

All who witnessed Alma's resistance could only be shocked in horror. Just one move, it was not visible to their eyes when Alma moved forward holding the large body of Raden Bagus Penjogo who was jumping in the air.

Stir up!

Raden Bagus Penjogo's body fell to the ground like a deciduous durian. After that, Raden Bagus Penjogo stretched out with the occasional body convulsing and his breath gasping.

“Dad!” pekik Narisantai as a child. He quickly ran to find his father.

Tuk tuk tuk!

Narisantai quickly gave three tootokan to his father's body so that his breathing was not blocked.

“Because Uncle and I have no fundamental problems, so I did not kill Uncle,” Alma Fatara said in a haughty tone. Then he said to the other old man, “It doesn't matter if Grandpa wants to try to snatch the Black Ball. But enough of the father of Beautiful Brother as a warning. If anyone wants to try again, don't blame me if things get worse. Do not let your suffering increase.”

“Alright, I will not disturb Black Ball,” said Rawe Sego.

“You are truly a terrible boy, Alma,” Raden Runok Ulung said.

“Eh, I am as beautiful as this Tooth Fairy you call terrible! You're outrageous, Cake!” grouse Alma. Then he said, “Oh yes, what if I could find Keris Worship of the Moon and return it to you, Kek?”

“Hah!” shock Raden Runok Ulung, he did not expect if Alma would offend the long-lost heirloom.

Alma's question also surprised Raden Gondo Sego and Ragabidak who failed to find the Moon Worship Keris in the Bitter Springs.

“What do you mean?” raden Runok Ulung asked with a suspicious look.

“Hahaha!” alma Laughter. “I only offer things that might happen, but if Grandpa is not interested, yes it's okay.”

“I don't care you know and get where Keris the Moon Worshipper is from. However, if that Royal heirloom can be returned to me, I will be very grateful and I am willing to give you a gift, or whatever you ask,” Raden Runok Ulung said.

“I only ask for the enmity of your two families to end. If you can't make peace, at least you're no longer at odds. How, Cake?” said Alma.

“Agree!” answer Raden Runok Ulung fast. (BH)
