Ivory Distilled Knight

The western peak of watukaru

Morning on the mountain

morning father, mother, hanuraga saluted his parents, this morning hanuraga was about to convey his desire to climb up to the mountain of watukaru, to find what felt stuck in his heart...

morning is also my son, what are you doing so early, son?

father, mother after I thought carefully I was about to climb up into the mountains to look for something...

kerti looked surprised, my mother's son had told you not just anyone can go up there, even a warrior who has been powerful never get to the top..

true son, I've heard first some warriors from various regions and also other residents have tried to climb but only to the middle, they do not know what happened, he said, they were like fainting and when they realized they were all back on the foot of the mountain... Retus begs his wife to forbid hanuraga to ride..

so no one has ever made it to the top of that mountain ?

hanuraga was getting curious..

I don't know son, but when the two twin warriors who entrusted you to us claimed from the top of the west watukaru, it's true that we don't know son..

then has Dad never been there?

hmmm.. actually I once accidentally went up there son, I searched for firewood around the forest foothills of the mountain, but when setting animal traps I continued down the dense forest of the mountain, I continued to search, I do not know too far up, but when it was in the middle of the mountain arrived there was a very melodious flute tone, I was lulled to listen to the voice while closing my eyes, it felt like falling asleep but very briefly, after I opened my eyes I was very surprised because I was under where I put the firewood I was looking for.....

hanuraga scrunched his forehead hearing what his father said..

but you weren't hurt, were you?

no son, but I decided not to go there anymore, maybe there are things we should not know there...

hanuraga looked pensive as he stared at the flute in his hand, what might have to do with the sound of the flute on the mountain with the flute I was holding,, what might have to do with the flute I was holding,,

hanuraga increasingly solidified his heart will rise kewatukaru, because for a few days he really wanted to go there, like someone pulled himself to immediately go up to the top of watukaru...

father, mother, I have decided, and my heart will be steady with my stance that I will ascend kepatukaru, I beg father and mother to let me...

kerti looked sad and heavy to give permission, but Retus took a deep breath while glancing at his wife,..

nyi seems like this is already the path the gods gave him, we should approve it..

kerti also nodded prlan while staring at hanuraga,,

son, when do you want to leave?

soon ma'am, I promise I'll be home after I find what I'm looking for..

well son, if so prepare yourself, rest enough mother will prepare your provisions..

okay, mom, dad, I'm going around for a while, I'm going to take a break..

hanuraga wandered around while looking at some people who worked on growing gaga rice, looking home away from home..

I will soon leave this place, and I will definitely return after finding the answer that holds my heart..

hanuraga occasionally tried to play his flute, but he just played normally there was no tone, just trying to blow ..

the sound of this flute is so good, baby I don't know how to make it sound beautiful..

son what are you doing, are you learning to play the flute?

the voice of the old man who was carrying firewood shocked Hanuraga...

oh grandfather, surprise hahaha.I'm just a cake fad..

I didn't see your father in his custody, was he sick?

no cake, maybe dad wants to be at the cake, yesterday he finished planting rice..

ohh so yes, do you not intend to learn kanuragan, there are already young men looking for me..

sorry kek I haven't thought about studying martial arts..

hmmm a child your age already wants to study and wants to become a swordsman, if you want to stop by my house, I will accept you as a student..

thanks cake, I'll think about it..

the grandfather was named ki Wukir, a pioneer of tigasari college, a small college located in the village of angseri..

***

in the afternoon Hanuraga just came home and greeted his mother,,,

where have you been, son, I'm afraid you're out of the morning, where do you think you are..

I was just walking down the street, mom, I met Grandpa wukir, he asked me..

hearing Hanuraga mention the name Wukir, retus immediately approached his son and wife..

want you to meet ki wukir huh? then what are you talking to him about?

I was just stale with him dad, he had taken me to be his student, but I subtly refused, because I wanted to ride kepatukaru first..

Retus opened her mouth in astonishment..

aisss this kid, why did you turn him down, son, I used to learn from him too, look at this..

retus demonstrates the silat motion that was learned from ki wukir, my waist...!!

bli you're not young anymore, don't act in front of your son, you look a little angry..

ahh I just gave him the spirit hahaha..

why are you angry? ask hanuraga..

never mind if I want to cook first, you must be hungry because you disappeared from the morning and just came home kerti ketus answer..

why are you angry dad?

hmmm .. It looks like your mother remembers my past hehehe...

sit down, son, I want to tell you a story..

when I was young I wanted to be a prajurid in the kingdom of gelgel, I studied kanuragan science for almost 20 years on ki wukir, but after I met your mother and married her she forbade me to be a soldier, the reason he doesn't want to lose me if there's a war, besides we'll rarely meet I'll also always be faced with danger son, son, but even though I am not going to be a soldier and live as a simple farmer our happiness is not perfect because we have no children, he said, but eight years ago you were present in the middle of us complete the happiness that we have been craving all this time, maybe this is the life path that we have to live son, said Retus while exhaling a long breath..

looks sad hanuraga face staring at his father, although not his biological son but hanuraga felt very happy and loved by his two adoptive parents....

I will always be devoted to you, replied Hauraga while respecting her father...

son, you're still my son, let's eat first, your mother has called..

good dad..

after dinner together, Hanuraga seemed busy preparing some of her clothes to leave tomorrow...

***

hanuraga opened his eyes after the sunlight hit his face from between the bamboo blades,,,

it's morning, hmm not felt a short night, today I will ride kewatukaru, thought hanuraga excitedly..

after finishing breakfast with his parents Hanuraga also said he would leave that morning..

son, we can only pray for you, bring a provision that is not this much, kerti give some food supplies to hanuraga..

son father also can not give you a stock of money, because at the top of the mountain there is no one selling, hahahahaha uhuk...

retus grimaced with stomach pain from being beaten by his wife..

bli don't joke, our son is leaving today so you can joke..

retus only chuckled softly, he actually just wanted to cover up the sadness of his heart releasing the departure of hanuraga..

while prostrating on the legs of his parents Hanuraga said goodbye to his father and mother..

wake up son, this mountain is very close you like going far away, replied his father while holding the shoulder hanuraga..

after saying goodbyes, the hanuragapun began to move his feet towards watukaru, father, mother, wait for me to come home soon after finding what I was looking for....
