I And the Lion of Nemea

Chapter 1 Chapter 34: Even Foolishness is Favour

The night is getting colder. The sky seemed to be blowing a very heavy drowsiness. Mr. Gaelani was asleep on his rickshaw beside the sidewalk of Agung Road which is the only asphalt road in KangAgung village. Covering Mr. Gaelani's glove shivered withstanding the piercing cold - the prick of his body.

Mr. Gaelani is the only one in KangAgung village. He has been in the world of discord for no less than ten years. On the asphalt road of KangAgung village there is no one who does not know the ability of the master in driving a rickshaw.

Pak Gaelani's rickshaw was named Rudolfo. So unfortunately Mr. Gaelani on his pedicab. His whole life had been devoted to his tricycles. Sangking unfortunately Mr. Gaelani on his rickshaw until now finally he was not married also at the age that has stepped on forty years more.

When asked about getting married, Mr. Gaelani quickly replied, "My love is only for Rudolfo". Crazy isn't it?!! Crazy one!!! But anyone can go crazy this time in KangAgung village. Right and wrong are just a cliche word to calm the heart or hurt the heart of others.

That night Mr. Gaelani slept with pleasure in his rickshaw. It seemed very comfortable even though the cold tickled his entire body.

Bruckkkkk....!!!

Suddenly the rickshaw was kicked by the grandmother Faynem. Sangking shocknya Pak Gaelani became talkative with the language of pansy, "Eh pentong eh pentong....ihhhh akika kagura....!"

Eh???? Grandma Faynem gawked to see Mr. Gaelani being talkative.

As soon as he saw Faynem's grandmother, Mr. Gaelani puffed his chest back like a real man while enduring embarrassment.

"Faynem's grandmother was shocked. Why grandma? Need a ride?" Ask Mr. Gaelani.

Grandma Faynem replied, "Yes! Anterin cave to the house of Mr. Kaji Dauh, the spit!".

As a master rickshawman, Mr. Gaelani immediately alerted his pedicab. Dodging her rickshaw seat, checking the chain and the pedicab brakes, then pedaling when Grandma Faynem was already sitting on her rickshaw. The pedicab pedals with a relaxed rhythm but quite fast. The ability to quickly arrive but still make customers comfortable has been studied by Mr. Gaelani carefully all this time.

Unexpectedly from the back appeared Mr. Icong by pushing his nut cart.

"Eh Mr. Icong really pushed his cart." Sapa Pak Gaelani basa - stale.

"Yes Mr. Gaelani, today quite a lot of sales! So my spirit pushed the wagon. It feels like no one can overtake me today, Iahahaha.", replied Mr. Icong jokingly.

Hearing Mr. Icong's answer, suddenly the soul of the driver Pak Gaelani tickled. Mr. Gaelani also challenged Mr. Icong, "Let's race your wagon as a cave rickshaw!"

Feeling challenged then Mr. Icong did not back down, "Come on! Cave ready your libas tonight Mr. Gaelani!". Both were preparing for the race with the finish of Pak Kaji Dauh's house.

Faynem who hitchhiked in Pak Gaelani's rickshaw just gawked. What kind of race is this?!! Cook the pedicab want to race the same people who push the cart?!!! Inner Faynem.

Huashhhhhhhhh!!!

"This is the strength of the nut trader who is selling his trade, iahahaha!!" Said Mr. Icong while laughing out loud when bulldozing rickshaw Pak Gaelani.

Mr. Gaelani still seems relaxed. In front of the road is a famous ninety-degree bend in the Great Road.

"It's time I showed you the true performance of my flagship rickshaw! Go Rudolfo!!" Shouted Mr. Gaelani smoldering.

And sure enough! At the corner Mr. Gaelani manoeuvred his legend and bulldozed Mr. Icong and his wagon. Mr. Icong was shocked and did not dwell, it seems that this race will be won by Mr. Gaelani, but it turns out.....

But it turns out that Mr. Gaelani is starting to run into obstacles. And the obstacle came from Faynem's grandmother who was shocked by the sudden maneuver of Mr. Gaelani earlier!

"Basar pans! Bring the passengers heart! The cave is old!! Remember the heart of the cave! The heart of the cave!!", Faynem's grandmother continued to curse while beating Mr. Gaelani's head.

"Nice, pardon.", Mr. Gaelani tried to defend with one hand to protect his head from the blow of Grandma Faynem while the other hand was still holding the steering wheel. And due to the endless blows from the grandmother of Faynem, Pak Gaelani's rickshaw began to slow down.

Seeing the rickshaw of Mr. Gaelani slowing down then Mr. Icong also felt there was a chance to overtake. He thrust his wagon with the full power of a merchant who had been in his world for many years. The legs of a family warrior are truly undeniable! Little by little Mr. Icong started to catch up!

Seeing Mr. Icong starting to catch up with him, Mr. Gaelani began to panic. No, no, no! He must not be defeated at this moment! His reputation as a master in the world of scuffle is at stake right now, Mr. Gaelani does not want himself to be defeated just like that. By still being showered by the blows of Faynem's grandmother he continued to ramp up his pedicab. Obstacles in the form of blows from Faynem's grandmother he took for granted to maintain his pride as the king of the streets of KangAgung village.

The house of Pak Kaji Dauh is starting to look. These two fighters unleashed all of their spirit and potential. Grain - grains of sweat begin to flow through the body of both. This is the real fight between two real men. They started to approach the finish together and finally....... Finish!!!

The winner was Mr Gaelani!!!

After arriving in front of Pak Kaji Dauh's house, Faynem went down. Giving money way to Mr. Gaelani whose face had been beaten.

Faynem directly entered the house of Pak Kaji Dauh. The door three times. No matter how long Pak Kaji Dauh came out and was shocked, "Loh Faynem! Why malem - malem here?"

"There's important news. It's Insur." Answer Faynem.

Hearing the name Insur called, Mr. Kaji Daub immediately serious and let Grandma Faynem enter, "Let's sit down first, we talk more clearly."

Faynem sat impatiently. Without further ado - Faynem immediately explained everything, "Tomorrow Insur wants to move the members of the Earth Wolf to kill Ladusong. Not all of its members. Only White Snow and Mr. Atu and his men were willing. Nansu and his men refused. So directly Mr. Kaji Dauh, my arrival here only appealed to me and you do not need to come to the selection of the military commander of KangAgung village tomorrow. If we come and interfere then I'm afraid this will only cause even greater turmoil."

Mr. Kaji Dauh was shocked to hear the news. He was silent for a moment. Seems to weigh up his decision. After steady, he said to Faynem, "Yes. I'm not coming."

Hearing the answer, Faynem immediately went home on foot. In the middle of the road Faynem had seen Mr. Gaelani and Mr. Icong who were busy eating trading beans Mr. Icong. Faynem also thought, ah good if we do not know what - what. Sometimes stupidity is a form of favor from God.
