Jaka Umbara; The Wind Warrior

Home Padepokan 1

Daytime. Home Padepokan..

When the entire population of the city was present, the, celebrating the return of Jaka Umbara from the Royal Palace through a meal with hunted animals that Ki Pucung captured and made into several dishes in the hands of Nyi Pucung.

After their meal was over, they rested and enjoyed fresh fruits as a dessert while speaking aloud (talking on a free, unspecified topic).

“Raden, what about Raden's plans going forward? Is there something Raden is preparing for? Or maybe there is something else Raden might be doing in the near future?” Ki Pucung asked by paying attention to the banana peel that was being peeled by him, then devoured it, after that looked at Jaka, waiting for what Jaka's answer to the question.

"I intend to travel to Batu Caves on the Tinggling Hill to meet someone with Nyimas.”

Jaka glanced at Nyi Dewi, looking for certainty regarding her words just now.

“Betul, Uncle.” He pulled back his right hand that was about to pick up fruit.

“Me and Kangmas plan to go there. We should have left since the day after yesterday, if only Ledonggowo had not come and made a mess in our corner.”

“Lantas, when will you start again, continue your intention to go to Batu Caves?”

“Hmm.., maybe a few days ahead. Coincidentally that day is the beginning of the month, as well as falling on a good market day for us to travel far.”

The barrel that had been busy filling the stomach, suddenly stopped after listening to the talk of Ki Pucung and Jaka Umbara and Nyi Dewi. He immediately hunted Nyi Dewi for a moment.

“Mbakyu, will Mbakyu and Kanda leave?” Laras asked with a great sense of curiosity.

“True!” Hair brushing Barrel. “we will make a slightly long journey.”

Down with a shy face and say softly, “What Dinda can come too?”

“Diajeng should stay in the store just accompany Uncle and Aunt. After all, the journey that will be taken is quite far away. Yes?”

“But, Dinda wants to follow Mbakyu away,” whining Laras with a sad face and more downcast.

Nyi Dewi was a little confused by the request of Laras who wanted to participate. He did not know how to respond to the request.

“Kangmas..” Glancing at Jaka Umbara with a face full of confusion.

Finally, inevitably he had to seek help to answer a request made by Laras. And Jaka was the only one who could help him at that time.

“Iya, yes, I know.” Jaka took a deep breath and felt heavy. As if What he will say is a word that must be weighed several times, even though his face is still trying to keep looking calm. “we will invite him also,” he added.

The confusion on Nyi Dewi's face slightly lessened after hearing what Jaka said. He can breathe freely, now.

“Diajeng, did Diajeng listen to your brother's words just now?”

Baras did not answer directly. He just poured his body into Nyi Dewi with mixed feelings.

“Laras, do you want to help bring the rest of the food back?” tanya Nyi Pucung spoke up, offering Baras to help her so that her embarrassment was slightly reduced.

“Well, I will help Auntie to bring the rest of her food back,” Laras replied while releasing her embrace from Nyi Dewi's body. Then it passed by with hands carrying some of the eating containers they had used and rushed quickly, catching up with Nyi Pucung who had already passed first.

“Raden, can we talk for a minute?” ki Pucung asked Jaka suddenly.

Jaka was slightly jolted by the request from Ki Pucung. What would he want to discuss with himself? Jaka looked at Nyi Dewi for a moment. Nyi Dewi.

“Kangmas, I'll help Auntie. Go, talk to Uncle!”

“Alright, then.” Rise up. Then take Ki Pucung, "come, Uncle!"

Ki Pucung also got up. “Mari, Raden!” let Jaka go first.

In the designated place..

“Raden, I intend to lower a review on Raden,” replied Ki Pucung bluntly.

“What test would Uncle want to give me?”

“This, a kind of study to strengthen Raden's physique. Would Raden be willing to accept it?”

“I gladly accept it, Uncle!” Jaka ducks.

They both sat facing the same direction. Then Ki Pucung read a few sentences like he was muttering. Jaka is ready. And, a moment later.. Bugh! Suddenly Ki Pucung's palm landed quite hard on Jaka's back.

At that moment, Jaka felt like there was a stream coming in and spreading out, then covering his entire body. Bugh! Now, Ki Pucung's left palm also landed on his back.

Hot air began to penetrate and run all over his body, but with all his strength Jaka tried to hold it.

Ki Pucung also pulled his palm and made hand movements quickly and again landed his palm on Jaka's back. This time only his right palm landed on Jaka's back.

while his left palm was parallel to Ki Pucung's chest. Ki Pucung long enough silenced him in that state while continuing to recite his recitation spell.

Jaka also felt the heat again like before, only now it feels bigger until it almost makes his body overheated. The longer Ki Pucung's palm was on Jaka's back while reciting some of his recitation spells, the more Jaka's body began to respond greatly due to the flow that now flows into his body, although with all his strength Jaka tried to hold his body to remain stable.

After a little patience, finally the process of decreasing a study conducted by Ki Pucung through Jaka's body was completed.

Finally Jaka was able to breathe a sigh of relief and stretch the body even though it felt a little stiff. He then changed positions, now he and Ki Pucung are in a position to face each other.

“The process of decline has been completed. Thankfully, Raden made it through!” said Ki Pucung was relieved because he did not see any impact on Jaka's body (in a negative sense).

“Once again I say thank you for the kindness of Uncle.” Jaka also subdued his body as a form of thanks to Ki Pucung.

“Raden don't have to feel too shy. Actually I have long wanted to reduce this assessment, but I have not found the right time and person for the process. It was only at this moment that I was able to lower this assessment to Raden. Maybe this study is already paired with Raden, or maybe it has been suratan from Sang Hyang Widhi.”

“Uncle, can I ask you something?”

Ki Pucung nodded slowly. “What Raden wanted to ask,” he said moments later.

“What show did Uncle just put me down? Doesn't that mean it's the same as Uncle bequeathed a study to me directly?”

“Almost, Raden.” Ki Pucung was silent for a moment. Try to find a brief explanation that leads directly to the point.

“The inherited test is usually given directly by the teachers or people who have a direct lineage with him. The study that was passed down does not require that. Moreover, he only needs to master the basic movements, and sometimes after we train a lot of these movements, can find new movements and strengthen the results of his training.”

Jaka nodded in understanding. “What is the name of the study that Uncle dropped it?”

“This dish is named Kayu Mas Jati. I also obtained it from a traveler when I was still in the time of my adventure first." recalls Ki Pucung remembering the days of his wandering. "I will show you every basic movement with Raden after Raden returns from Raden.”

“Maybe I will suspend our departure time for a few more weeks so that I can practice the basic movement before I leave for Batu Cave. I'll tell Nyimas later.”

“Alright, if that is the desire of Raden,” welcome Ki Pucung to Jaka's speech. “I will show his basic movements as well as Raden train him the day after,” added Ki Pucung.

“Alright, then, I beg you to retreat to clean the body to the back room. Just tell me if Uncle is ready to teach me his basic moves.”

“Good, Raden.”

Jaka got up and stood up. “I beg to withdraw, Uncle.”

“Please, Raden!”

Jaka is leaving. While Ki Pucung still remained in his sitting position without shifting in the slightest.
