Job 30: Waiting for a Killer

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

The morning came with brightness along with the dazzling sun emerging from the east. Early in the morning the residents of the Duchy of Santun Pongah have been active. Some went to the garden, to the rice fields, to the river, to the house of their master, to trade, etc.

Meanwhile, Alma Fatara was seen relaxing in a field in the center of Kademangan. Unlike the four friends who are practicing alone, because they have different worship.

They train at Alma's behest as their older brother.

They were at that place according to the end result of the conversation last night at the residence of Raden Runok Ulung.

“Tomorrow to search for Kluwing and Ki Bending, Nari!” the Raden Runok Ulung order last night.

“Good, Cake,” said Narisantai obediently.

“It doesn't need you to do, Cake,” says Alma. “Make it me as bait.”

“What do you mean, Alma?” tanya Raden Runok Ulung did not understand.

“The two people have already felt the existence of the Black Ball on me. They chased me this afternoon, but they lost me. Hahaha!” said Alma.

“You mean, they'll come looking for you for Black Ball?” narisantai.

“Kakak Gorgeous right,” alma toilet.

“I will not be presumptuous to make a queen as bait!” raden Runok Ulung.

“They are great people. Grandfather would only sacrifice the roof tiles to face them. Better to deal with it directly with a person who is worth it. Moreover, Grandfather was already invincible by holding the Moon Youth Keris. Let me and my colleagues wait tomorrow morning as bait. Anyway Grandpa and Big Sister are just getting ready. We will not interfere,” Alma said.

“Alright if you insist,” said Raden Runok Ulung agreed.

After the oral agreement, they also relaxed for a moment to drink wedang. Counting warms the body for Alma. It was only Iwak Ngasin, Juling Jitu, Anjengan, and Gagap Ayu ambushed various snacks served. Unlike the Black Mbah who does not eat and drink.

However, just as they were chewing, Alma Fatara had already decided to go home, whether to go home because they did not have a home.

“That's right, Alma. I just swallowed three times!” juling Jitu Protest.

“Kue in my hand is not finished, Alma!” anjengan protest also. His hand held three cakes at once.

“Ti-ti-not cool!” gerutu Stuttering Ayu.

“Don't like to see happy friends!” rutuk Iwak Ngasin.

“Hahahak!” Alma just laughed as she got up from her seat.

“Communicate all!” raden Runok Ulung.

“Agree!” exclaim Iwak Ngasin, Juling Jitu and Anjengan together.

“Se-se-agree!” yang Gagap Ayu is late.

“Telglow!” the third cheer of friends Gagap Ayu.

“Hahaha ..!” their laughter was boisterous except for Alma, to the extent that the people in the room were shocked and looked inside.

“Stop laughing!” hardik Alma's. “It's in a mourning mood, it's not worth laughing!”

“So you also laughed to yourself!” reply Juling Jitu.

Finally they left the residence Raden Runok Ulung with bamboo woven besek several packs.

The next morning, Alma set himself up as bait. At his leisure, there was no sight of the existence of Black Mbah. Alma ordered the Black Mbah to disappear for the sake of peace and comfort together. Since Mbah Hitam was in the middle of them, Anjengan and Gagap Ayu more exciting quarrel.

When Alma Fatara was happy to be bait, Narisantai went alone to Raden Gondo Sego's residence.

However, when Narisantai just saw the roof of Raden Gondo Sego's house, suddenly a number of horses appeared to run and block Narisantai's steps. The widow immediately recognized one of the horsemen who confronted her, namely Dugalara, the eldest son of Raden Gondo Sego.

Dugalara was with three other horsemen dressed in red-red but dark. All three bear machete weapons. The youngest of them was forty years old. The three are Rawe Sego's men who are asked to help Raden Gondo Sego's family.

“Where are you going, Narisantai?!” dugalara asked with a snarl.

“To your house,” replied Narisantai short and cold.

“You want to make trouble?!” dugalara.

“Peach your mouth, Dugalara!” narisantai Crescent. The emotions of the woman are ignited. “I came to eliminate the problem!”

“You want to wipe out my family? Don't think you can!” shouted Dugalara furiously. Then his orders to the three men who were with him, “Serang!”

At once the three men in dark red clothes leaped from the back of his horse. They immediately passed the cleaver and attacked Narisantai.

The set! Tang tang tang!

Narisantai immediately also escaped his sword and repelled the three machete attacks. The fight also happened with fun. Apparently, Narisantai looks still too tough for the three nesting men.

Seeing this, Dugalara decided to enter the fight. He immediately passed the keris from behind his waist.

Finding himself being gang-raped by four men at once, Narisantai chooses to immediately finish the misunderstanding.

Sets! Trin ting's!

Buginese! Buk up!

When the four brakers in a riding position around him. Narisantai quickly played the Science of Running Sword.

Narisantai made a fierce running motion spinning with his sword swung around following the accompaniment of footsteps. From the twisted sabetan there was a line of red light painted in the air.

That swift slash forced the four men to fend off. However, the men could feel an unusual strength, as they were pushed hard. Two of them fell.

“If you don't want to stop, don't blame me if anyone dies by my sword!” narisantai. Then he said to Dugalara, “Dugalara, I came to tell you that Raden Runok Ulung Family declared an end to hostilities with you!”

“What?” dugalara was surprised. “What do you mean, Narisantai?”

“Looks like I should explain to you clearly. But, better let me speak directly to your father. I don't want to explain twice,” said Narisantai.

“Retreat!” Dugalara's Order.

The four men returned to their horses. They followed Dugalara to his home.

Narisantai who had to hold back his anger, again sheathed his sword. He continued his journey to Raden Gondo Sego's residence.

Meanwhile, in the center of Kademangan, Alma Fatara who was sitting on the branch of a large tree, saw the arrival of two people he suspected were Ki Bending and Kluwing.

“Our share has arrived!” alma half yelled at her four best friends.

Iwak Ngasin and others stopped their activities. They immediately searched for the prey meant by Alma. Finally they saw the figure of a middle-aged woman dressed in yellow. The woman had shoulder hair. That woman was none other than Kluwing.

The one who was with Kluwing was the dark green-robed old man. Although the old man was not mustachioed and bearded, but his hair color was black and white.

“Truely they are, Alma?” ask Anjengan.

“True. They will definitely come here,” replied Alma.

So Iwak Ngasin, Juling Jitu, Anjengan, and Gagap Ayu then stood in a row on one line. They looked at the two who were walking towards them. It was obvious that they were waiting for the two men to arrive.

Meanwhile, Alma Fatara remained seated on a branch, monitoring from above. (BH)
