Jaka Umbara; The Wind Warrior

The Coming of Destiny

 

“Heh, boy! You don't have to act heroic in front of us. You are no match for us. Get out there!” snapped one of the group. “again you have nothing to do with us,” he continued.

“No!! I won't let you hurt Mom,”, sergeant Jaka. He prepared to hit the man who spoke to him, but was stopped by his mother.

“Jaka, don't be rash! You won't be able to fight them alone!”

“But Mom. I can't let it.”

“Master, we don't have any valuables. We only have a few groceries from the market. If you want it, we will give it. But please don't hurt us,” asked Jaka's mother to the group of people with compassion for them to let go of both.

The group of people laughed out loud. “What? You think I want what you got, huh! What my Master provides is much better than what you offer me,” said the front man.

“True, Kakang. He's nothing more than a poor family with nothing,” another timpal.

“Absolutely. There's nothing in it for us to ask him for anything.” The others added in a disdainful tone while laughing. The others also laughed out loud.

“Master, I beg you very much. Please don't hurt us. I beg you, sir," asked Jaka's mother again.

“I am Ledonggowo, coming here on my master's orders as your angel of death. Thank you I will not torture you until you die. If you don't act much, you won't feel pain before losing your life.”

Jaka Umbara was furious at what Ledonggowo had just said. “Don't you dare hurt my mother.” Jaka began to get angry. He knew there would be no victory for him if he fought the group alone. But one he believed in. He had to sacrifice all his strength to save his mother no matter what.

“Many cincong! Catch 'em! Drag that girl here!” ledonggowo's orders to some of his men. Jaka Umbara and his mother were caught by Ledonggowo's men.

“Dragon the boy and keep his mouth shut. Don't let it interfere with our work. Otherwise, you will know the consequences.”

“Good, Kakang,” said two people who held Jaka Umbara's hand.

Jaka could not move, his eyes could not see what happened to his mother because it was covered by Ledonggowo's men. While his mother was in the hands of Ledonggowo's men. He wanted to rebel, but he was unable to. He could only resign, but his passion to save his mother did not subside in the slightest.

“Let go of my mother! Don't hurt my mother! Mother.. Mother..” Jaka began to shout, he rebelled again trying to release himself from the grasp of two people who held his hand firmly, while his mother was already dealing with Ledonggowo.

“Let us go, Sir. What do you want from us? We are poor people who have nothing. I beg your mercy, Sir,” pinta Jaka's mother very much.

“No, Sir! Please, forgive us!”

“Yes or not, I decide. You have no right to bargain with me. Understand!” ledonggowo.

Jaka's mother looked down sad. There is no hope that he will survive. Ledonggowo observed Jaka's mother slowly. His eyes held a hidden intent.

“Or just like this. Let's have some fun for a second. You'll give me life as my slave, how?” Ledonggowo's words began to loosen.

Jaka's mother was shocked to hear Ledonggowo's words just now. He frowned trying to guess Ledonggowo's words.

“What do you mean Sir?”

“You don't have to pretend you don't know anything. I know that boy is not your real son. And I also know that you've never been married.”

Jaka's mother flinched. His mind started to mix. Where did Ledonggowo know his status? Who told him? No one had told him about his status all along. Even Jaka never told.

“Master, who sent you? Tell me what his name is?”

Ledonggowo approached Jaka's mother. Seeing him with an harassing look. “You don't need to know who sent me.” Ledonggowo began to dare to touch him.

“If you want, I won't take your life, as long as you accept my request. I'll give you a better life, how? Do you want?”

“I rejected it clearly, Mr.”

“Come! I know you need a man who can make ends meet.” Ledonggowo's hands are getting bolder.

“Master, I already rejected it. Don't think we're the ones who don't have it you can arbitrarily oppress.”

“Please also mouth!” Ledonggowo began to wrath. “ dare also you apparently! Or do you want me to force a good time here?”

“Cuihh! To the death, I will not accept the offer of a savage bastard like you!”
