Jaka Someh's
Chapters 11. The Deadly Hard Flow.
The atmosphere of Cikaret village has returned to normal. Jaka Someh has been active as usual, namely practicing silat and managing his agricultural fields. The wounds on his wrists and chest were healed. When the sun had begun to recede, he returned to his hut on the slopes of the mountain of halimun. As it was getting dark, Jaka Someh lit his lantern. Finished the magrib prayer, he cooked hot water.
That night he wanted to make a drink out of ginger. While preparing the rice that he had cooked in the morning, Jaka Someh made a simple sambal consisting only of chili, onion, garlic and tomatoes. All these materials he obtained from the yard of his hut. Then he set fire to tilapia, his catch was just this afternoon. When Jaka Someh wanted to eat his meal, suddenly there was a voice of someone saying Salutations,
“Assalamualaikum, sampurasun. Please maap disturb, is there anyone in this house?”
Jaka Someh replied to the greeting,
“Wa aleikum greetings yes sir, wait a minute “
He opened the door of his hut, and he saw a middle-aged man standing at the door of his hut. His clothes looked shabby, yet the man's face looked clean and dignified. Jaka Someh asked the man,
“Excuse me whose father is it ? Koq can get here? I'm sure you're not a citizen of the village around here “.
The man answered Jaka Someh's question,
“My name is Haji Ibrahim, I am a traveler traveling far, I come from cianjur area “
Jaka Someh also let in to his guests,
“Mangga oruh sir, please enter my simple hut! sorry if the situation is less pleasing in the heart of mr”
After being invited in, the guest immediately went into the hut.
“Thank you jang, this house feels comfortable for me, instead I ask maap because it is troublesome “
Jaka Someh replied,
“Sgrateful oruh sir, if you feel comfortable in my hut, because I have prepared dinner, now we just eat first, sir? sok mango oruh sir! do not hesitate, eat potluck yes ! “
Haji Ibrahim smiled to get a dinner offer from jaka someh,
“Alhamdulillah get windfall, I so feel good, then you come to eat only huh jang ? Hehehe, it is not good or if you refuse fortune, pamali ! “
Without shame, Haji Ibrahim also ate with Jaka Someh. Jaka Someh laughed at Haji Ibrahim who seemed to be unwilling to accept an offer of food from him. They enjoy eating while chatting ngalor kidul. The atmosphere is so familiar when they just met and did not even know each other. It is rare for guests like Haji Ibrahim to arrive. Several times there have been some residents of the cikaret village who stayed in his hut because there was business in Mount Halimun, but guests who came from far away, the new Ibrahim Hajj is only.
After finishing eating, Jaka Someh served ginger drinks to his guests. They were also busy chatting to tell various things, but the most was about the daily life of Jaka Someh. Jaka Someh had told a little about his silat training to Haji Ibrahim. Haji Ibrahim listened carefully to Jaka Someh's story. He also told me a little about himself, especially about his experience traveling to various regions in the land of pasundan, which was just to add insight into his life. Jaka Someh was happy to hear the story of Haji Ibrahim who has traveled to various regions, he also wanted to become a traveler like Hajj Ibrahim, venturing into various regions that are still foreign. For him it was an amazing experience. It was to rub his soul to make it more mature and strong.
After the night was getting late, Jaka Someh invited his guests to rest in his bamboo bale-bale. He felt happy to be able to get a friend he could invite to chat, so that his life was no longer lonely. Haji Ibrahim was also pleased with Jaka Someh's hospitality which was full of sincerity. For Haji Ibrahim Jaka Someh is a young man who has good ethics, besides being polite he is also very sincere about his guests.
The next morning after breakfast, Haji Ibrahim said to Jaka Someh,
“Jang Someh, I thank you for the kindness of ujang received me here, before leaving to continue the journey, I want to repay the kindness of ujang to me, but I do not have apa2 “
Jaka Someh smiled at the hajj Ibrahim,
“This father is like to anyone, it's okay sir, I'm really sincere tea, no need to pay-pay all, sir, even I am happy if you stay here longer, let me have a friend, hehehe“
Haji Ibrahim laughed to Jaka Someh, then he said
“Hehehe, yes Jang thank you very much, I asked maap could not give valuable items to try, but because ujang never told me, I asked, that ujang is now studying silat alone on this mountain, then allow me to share the knowledge that I have, I want to share some silat techniques that I have, he said, hopefully it can be useful for Jang Someh “ said Haji Ibrahim.
Then Haji Ibrahim continued his words again,
“Maybe this tea is just a simple style but if you test diligently and confident in training him, God willing this style can give benefit and blessing for future testing “
Jaka Someh replied,
“Alhamdulillah oruh sir, I tea seneng once if you want to teach silat science, please teach me sir!”.
Deg-degan it feels like Jaka Someh heard that he will be taught some courses by Haji Ibrahim, it seems he can not wait to get new lessons soon.
The punch is without a prefix, so that it cannot be guessed by the opponent, and is launched with a loud, powerful, fast and spontaneity. The second step is about the scratches or it can also be for stalks. This style also trains the strength of the grip of the fingers to destroy hard objects and shake the flesh, by clawing and gripping.
The third step is about locking and unlocking techniques, as well as catch and push techniques. Step four about the science of dings that can destroy the head and break various joints and bones. The fifth step is about the science of death to destroy various vital organs and nerves in the body of the opponent. The sixth step is about combination training, which is to combine various movements in unlimited variations, there is a combination of spikes, punches and dings, and, this sixth step is as the basis for the development of an unlimited style.
While the seventh Step is about the practice of breath and mind, which is useful to train and collect energy from nature in order to be channeled and stored throughout the body.
The steps taught by Hajj Ibrahim so simple but actually dangerous and deadly because it leads to various points of weakness of the opponent, including can be used to blind the eyes of the opponent, destroy the skull of the opponent, and, smash the opponent's throat, gouge and split the joints in the opponent's skull, break every opponent's joints, break the bones of the opponent, destroy the opponent's vital organs and others. In addition to these moves used to destroy opponents, these moves are also useful to arouse and strengthen internal energy and increase body strength for people who train it.
Haji Ibrahim said to Jaka Someh,
“Awas jang! you should not use these moves carelessly, use if the condition is tight! because this is a hard stream move to destroy opponents “
Haji Ibrahim also teaches techniques to deal with many opponents, using the Four Fifth Transmitter. Although it is only a combination of simple foot steps that utilize the four cardinal directions and one source center (surfing), this technique is very useful when dealing with attacks launched by many enemies from various directions.
Step Four Fifth Transmitter is actually a technique to change the position of our body against the position of the opponent, so that our position is in a strategic position against the opponent. Haji Ibrahim said,
“The position of the body determines jang, if we are in an incorrect position then in addition to our attacks are ineffective, we can also be easily defeated by the opponent, hence the footsteps and shape of the horses have an important role in silat.”
Jaka Someh who was so serious about listening to the explanation of the Hajj Ibrahim, only answered briefly, saying,
“Good sir, I understand!”.
Before concluding his lesson, Haji Ibrahim also delivered his will again,
“Jang Someh, Ujang must remember, This silat science is the science of life, to carry on our life full of meaning, all of these nurses come from our desire to continue to live a life that is under threat, So this silat science is about our spirit that wants to maintain a life that is valuable and full of value. Life has cycles, jang, Life-death-life, flowers into fruits into flowers, strive and trust, there is hard-there is also tenderness, everything replaces each other, he said, if you are not able to in a subtle way, try it the hard way! if you are not able to the hard way, try it in a smooth way! all of it filling each other “
Hearing the words of Hajj Ibrahim, Jaka Someh can only nod, although in fact he still does not really understand the intent of the speech of Haji Ibrahim.
There are many lessons that Jaka Someh received from Hajj Ibrahim.
The knowledge and intelligence of Jaka Someh before studying to Hajj Ibrahim turned out to be nothing.
Though Jaka Someh at that time was proud enough to beat a ferocious tiger with a slash of a machete. There is still sky above the sky. Jaka Someh who has been practicing silat very hard under the guidance of Aki Sudin, was still shallow compared to the science of Ibrahim Hajj. Like people who thirst for knowledge, Jaka Someh also absorbed many valuable lessons from the Hajj Ibrahim.
Haji Ibrahim said to Jaka Someh,
“Jang Someh, to use these moves, the test horses must be strong and sturdy! since the horses are the basic foundation, in order for us to be strong then our bodies must also be able to fuse with the earth, ujang must imagine as if we are an inseparable part of this earth, must be fused with the earth in order to take in the energy that is on earth so that we can channel it through our bodies! to destroy the enemies that are threatening us “
Jaka Someh can only agree,
“well sir, I will also train my horses to be stronger again “
Jaka Someh this time not much to say, only able to say “ya”, and “baik, pak”.
He was so serious about learning the science that Ibrahim taught, as if he was worried if there was a lesson missed by him.
Without feeling, it has been seven days Jaka Someh studied silat to Haji Ibrahim. On the eighth day of Hajj, Ibrahim said goodbye to Jaka Someh to continue his journey. Jaka Someh was saddened to be abandoned by the new teacher. But Jaka Someh was unable to prevent Ibrahim's wish to continue his journey. Jaka Someh thanked Haji Ibrahim for teaching silat lessons.
Haji Ibrahim finally left Jaka Someh. Jaka Someh did not know that Haji Ibrahim was a legendary swordsman as a master of various silat schools in the land of pasundan such as silat cikalong and various other silat schools. The author himself is actually still confused by the name of Haji Ibrahim. There are two versions of the name of Hajj Ibrahim in this story that some say that Haji Ibrahim here means a sheikh named Maulana Malik Ibrahim (he was considered one of the guardians in the the land of Java) or some say that this Ibrahim Hajj is Raden Jaya Perbata which then changed its name after performing the pilgrimage to Mecca to Raden Haji Ibrahim. Wallahu nature, nature,
After the death of Raden Haji Ibrahim, Jaka Someh became more active in his training. He continued to practice his silat repeatedly every day. Although the movement of the nurse seemed simple, but when he practiced the nurse in earnest, it turned out to be only one step, his breathing was already panting. His clothes were soaked with sweat.
Jaka Someh who is unyielding, continues to try to train him with discipline. After one more year he was able to master all the moves, ranging from one to the seventh without breathing heavily.
When he finished practicing until the seventh stage, Jaka Someh's body appeared to emit ASAP, indicating his body became hot due to the influence of the great energy in his entire body. Thus every day he still continues to train the knowledge that has been taught by the Hajj Ibrahim, so that his entire body becomes harder and stronger.
