"Then, now we begin the first exercise. You have to run up and down these stairs a lot!"
"I wonder how far your stamina is!" Maya gawk.
"Why gawking? Come fast!" Nyi Yanti.
"Ba-good Nyi." Maya shocked.
Without thinking long Maya began to run up and down the stairs according to instructions from Nyi Yanti. Being strong is what Maya has in mind right now, any order from the teacher she will do. Initially Maya ran with full vigor and speed until almost fell due to lack of concentration. Nyi Yanti loudly shouted from afar to remind Maya to be more concentrated if you do not want to woe or fall on the stairs, although the stairs of the backyard of the house only consists of 15 steps but if it falls will certainly hurt as well.
Maya changes the rhythm of her running, now she runs slowly to keep breathing in order to survive long enough. He restrained his ardent spirit and concentrated fully on each footrest so as not to miss and fall. After 10 minutes Maya was panting and she took a short break, Nyi Yanti came to Maya carrying a glass of water
"Drink!" Nyi Yanti gave one glass of water that she brought to Maya.
"What can you do, Nyi?" Maya is shocked by Nyi Yanti's attitude.
"Thank you, before Mimi changes her mind. It is rare for a student to have such an honor." Suddenly Ki Sopo's voice came out.
Maya receives the white water given by Nyi Yanti and then straightens it to the end. "Thank you, Nyi, my throat is no longer screaming because of the drought." Maya still holds her glass.
"Have you tortured her, Mi?" Ki Sopo asked his wife, but Nyi Yanti only glanced briefly at Ki Sopo.
"Not torture, Ki! Nyi Yanti told me to run up and down the stairs, there must also be a purpose." Maya disagrees with the torturous words.
"Hahaha. So now you're defending Mimi, your teacher. You don't want to be my student anymore?" Ki Sopo laughed.
"Bu-not so, Ki! I'm just telling the truth. I don't feel tortured either, I don't defend one. You are both my teachers."
"You're told to run up and down the stairs still say no torture? If I wouldn't have told you like that." Fishing Ki Sopo.
"Each teacher must have his own way to teach his students and certainly the way is different, not necessarily the same. Maybe the purpose of this exercise is to make me more concentrated and increase my leg strength." Maya herself wondered why she could answer like that.
Suddenly Nyi Yanti attacks Maya with a sweep kick but Maya manages to jump up to dodge. Ki Sopo takes the kick towards Maya's left arm and is successfully held back by Maya.
"It's not wrong that I took you as my student. Not only good at talking, you are also quite fast at learning. But you can't be content and can't be arrogant!" Nyi Yanti admits Maya's learning determination is very strong.
"It was just a coincidence, Nyi. If Nyi Yanti and Ki Sopo attack seriously not necessarily I can defend." Maya is not satisfied, according to him she can avoid and fend off because Nyi Yanti and Ki Sopo do not use full strength.
"Smart girl! Have you fixed your intentions? Otherwise I won't let Mimi teach you any further." Ki Sopo gave the code to Nyi Yanti who wanted to protest. Nyi Yanti also followed the husband's game.
"Already, Ki. I have found the answer." Maya spirit.
"Don't be too excited, I'll consider your answer first."
"My intention of learning silat is to be strong.." Maya has not finished saying her goal has been cut by Ki Sopo.
"Still it? Don't waste my time then!" Ki Sopo is leaving.
"Sir, listen to me! Don't play Maya's explanation!" Nyi Yanti gave an opportunity to Maya because she knew there was still much Maya wanted to convey.
"All right." Ki Sopo did not leave.
"I still want to be strong to protect myself and those around me. Silat is for good, not to grudge or harm people. Maybe Ki Sopo can judge that there is a grudge in my heart so Ki Sopo told me to improve my intention to learn silat. I know I'm still unstable and my emotions are still going up and down, so please guide her, Ki." Maya bowed her respects to Ki Sopo.
For a moment Ki Sopo fell silent and spoke in his heart. "So soon he understood my point, probably because of the hidden power that was within him. This boy's base is good at talking, must have been Mimi gave water that he had given prayers to open the mind and strength of this child."
"Alright, I will accept you to be my disciple." Not finished Ki Sopo said, Maya was excited.
Maya puts her glass on the edge of the terrace fence next to her. He was excited and hugged Nyi Yanti because she was accepted as Ki Sopo's student. "Yey.. Finally accepted as Ki Sopo's student."
"Hey…! Don't hug my wife!" Ki Sopo pouted his wife in the arms of someone else.
"Geez, sir! She's like my daughter! I have long wanted to be embraced by my daughter like this, especially now Bayu no longer want to be embraced by his own mother." Nyi Yanti wanted to have a daughter, but she was grateful that God had given her a handsome and smart child.
"Sorry, Ki, I'm just too happy to be accepted as your student."
"I'm sorry, Nyi, if I'm being disrespectful."
"Hahaha. Don't make it awkward, sir. Let her be my daughter. You're the same old man." Nyi Yanti was pleased with Maya's attitude of understanding the situation and respecting the older ones, not being as arrogant as yesterday.
"We will cooperate to train Maya, do not be greedy dong, Mi! I also want to have a daughter, Bayu even feel at home, approached by beautiful women even do not want to." Ki Sopo and Nyi Yanti are fighting.
"Wood looks like you, sir! You used to sell expensive, just like Bayu now. The turn of falling in love with a woman becomes a confusion. Hahaha.." Nyi Yanti laughed satisfiedly. Maya was surprised to see the behavior of the two teachers, the article in front of the students of the Golden Tiger college they both looked very hard and firm.
"Hush…! Do not open the card! Mimi used to be the same as Maya, right?" Ki Sopo is still joking with his wife.
"Udah, Sir! Don't open all the cards. Lookout! Maya's confused to see our behavior." Yanti stopped laughing.
"Maya, I accept you to be my disciple, on condition that you must be able to train even harder. Running up and down the stairs is not how much, tomorrow will be even more heavy, let alone your teacher there are two. But your main task is school, do not let your achievements in school decline because you are more focused on learning silat. If until I find out your performance in school is declining, then I will not train you again, as well as Mimi. Do you understand?" Ki Sopo explained at length, he did not want Maya actually suffered a setback in the academic field.
"Ready, Ki. I will try hard to train and will divide the time well so that my school achievement does not decline. If necessary, when it's time to get a rap, I'll bring my rapist here to show Ki Sopo and Nyi Yanti." Maya promised.
"Alright, continue his training with Mimi for today. Starting Monday tomorrow training hours are changed. Saturday afternoon until afternoon training with me, Sunday afternoon to evening training with Mimi. Monday to Friday’at you can only come to training once or twice, not every day!" Ki Sopo.
"Is that enough time, Ki?" Maya questions the schedule Ki Sopo gave her. Ki Sopo just kept quiet and looked at Maya sharply.
"Sorry, Ki, my mouth is still lancing. Ready, carry out the orders." Maya also did not argue anymore.
