Jaka Umbara; The Wind Warrior

A small message

“Teacher, what does Teacher want to tell me?”

“It looks like I will continue to lie on the bed, considering I am old.” said Mpu Fencing Maya resigned.

“Teacher, why does Teacher talk like that?”

“Actually, this pain I've been suffering for a long time. It's just that I don't want to see her anxious or sad when I hear her,”

“Sick what exactly is this Master suffering from?”

“I got a deep wound when I fought against someone when I was young. His fatal attack was able to give a huge effect even though I was able to keep myself alive.”

“Is he an enemy of Master?”

“I don't remember that much! It could be so too!”

“Who was the one who fought with Master? Does Master still remember his name?”

“Sorry! I don't want to bring it up again!”

“I'm sorry for this ludicrousness of mine, Master!” Down and feel guilty.

Mpu Fencing Maya understood the curiosity of Jaka so great. “It's okay. I can understand that. You must have been curious about what happened to me back then.”

“Teacher, if I may want to listen to the story of Master when I was young first?”

“Are you going to listen to him?”

“Of course!” sahut Jaka full of spontaneity. “I would love to hear the story of Guru.”

“I have lived alone since I was ten years old, just like you.” Mpu Fencing Maya said, recalling the journey of life she had been through.

“I wandered from one region to another. Until one day I reached the Kertasari area on Mount Chuda. I finally met someone I consider a teacher.”

“I learned a lot from him. Although I learned a lot from other teachers, he was the last one to teach me.”

“Until finally I can find a student who wants to learn from me.”

“Did Master ever meet that person again?”

Mpu Fencing Maya shook her head slowly. His eyes looked a little sad.

But the attitude of Mpu Fencing Maya who did not say anything and his slightly empty eyes became proof that what he thought was the reality. Jaka almost joined the grief experienced by the teacher.

“Jaka..”

Realized instantly. “Iya, Master.”

“I want to tell you,” said Mpu Fencing Maya weak.

“What is it, Master?”

“I want you to take care of my daughter after my departure later.”

“Teacher, Teacher can't say that? Master can definitely recover! I will continue to take care of Master until Master recovers,” said Jaka riled. He did not want to hear the bad possibilities that would happen.

“You can come back now. I'm a little sleepy. I want to rest for a while.”

“Good, Teacher. I resigned,” said Jaka while getting up and passing away from his teacher's room.

In the dining room..

Jaka and Dewi Mayasari eat together even without the company of Mpu Fencing Maya as usual. Both of them seemed to be eating their food gratefully.

“Kangmas, did Ayahanda say anything?” ask Dewi Mayasari to Jaka who recently arrived in the dining room after coming out of Mpu Fencing Maya's room.

“Nothing! I only listened to the story of his travels when he was young. That's it.”

Goddess Mayasari no longer asked her questions. He just continued eating his food.

Before long, the two finished their meal.

“Nyimas, tonight you stay and take care of Master. I'll go see Uncle Datuk.” first

“Is Kangmas okay to go alone?”

“Tak what! I'll try the day after tomorrow afternoon I'm back.”

“Good, beware!”
