Jaka Umbara; The Wind Warrior

Meeting a bunch of delinquents

The boisterous sounds of whispers were heard more and more clearly among the group of delinquents present.

"Calm down! Calm yourself!" yell Nyai Gendhis. A moment of boisterous mood disappeared again. "I'm having this meeting not without purpose. As long as you follow the orders I give you, you will get your rewards. I will not forbid you from doing all your activities completely. But, if I need your performance, you must be ready to live it. How's it?"

A group of delinquents gathered at once looked at each other without whispering. Some who felt they did not want to become subordinates of others immediately stepped away without saying anything. Others who were tempted to see the treatment of Nyai Gendhis on Munsiya decided to stay. Others stayed because it was their job.

"Good, good!" Nyai Gendhis looked at the remaining bunch of delinquents. Almost a quarter of them left the place. "I want you to pledge your loyalty to me!" pinta Nyai Gendeis.

"We promise to be faithful to Him!" yell out a bunch of thugs in unison.

"Alright, I received confessions from all of you. If any of you dare to rebel, I will never hesitate to give him the calculations. You understand?"

"Understand Him!" yelled another bunch of delinquents in unison.

"Him?" yelled someone among a bunch of delinquents. Nyai Gendhis turned to someone who was shouting. That person was quite tall with a slightly dark complexion and a rogue face.

"What's wrong? Is my word still unclear?"

"Are we also going to be given pleasure?"

"Sure! Sure was! I'll find some for you guys to have fun with every month."

"Does Nyai like to have fun with us?"

"Oh?.. You wish you could have fun with me apparently?"

"Yes, Nyai!" The man looked at the body of Nyai Gendhis with a face of pleasure. It occurred to him how it felt to have fun with a woman as beautiful as Nyai Gendhis.

"Say! What's yourname?"

"I'm Gendra from the foot of Lor Hill!"

"Alright, Gendra! I will grant your request if you can defeat me."

"Really, Nyai?" gendra asked in disbelief at the words of Nyai Gendhis.

"Please! Prove you can beat me! I will grant your request if you can defeat me right now."

Without any more hesitation, Gendra immediately advanced forward to face Nyai Gendhis. Nyai Gendhis took a few steps forward. The other rogues shifted the position slightly away.

Gendra immediately put up his horses. In his mind, he was able to defeat Nyai Gendhis with all his strength. Sekarwati smiled down on Gendra who too considered herself capable of defeating her mother.

After Nyai Gendhis asked him to attack. Gendra didn't waste his chance. He immediately attacked Nyai Gendhis with the power he possessed.

Gendra pulled the sword from its sheath stored at his waist and quickly raised his sword towards Nyai Gendhis. The shadow from Gendra's sword was only able to slash the wind. Nyai Gendhis easily dodged every sword slash that came towards him. Not infrequently Nyai Gendhis parried with a wooden stick in his hand.

"Is that all you have?"

"No! It was just a warm-up for me!"

Gendra attacked again. Now Gendra attacked more aggressively. Nyai Gendhis words immediately ignited his ambition to obtain the body of Nyai Gendhis. Nyai Gendhis also faced Gendra a little seriously, now.

Gendra held onto the hilt of his sword, pulled back slightly, then released it towards Nyai Gendhis. The sword came so fast. Nyai Gendhis confronted him quickly. The sword seemed to float before Nyai Gendhis with the tip of the sword ready to nest in his stomach.

For the sake of seeing that, Gendra exerted his profound strength to push his sword to break through the defenses of Nyai Gendhis. But for Nyai Gendhis, it was not difficult to deal with. Like pulling a needle stuck in a pile of cotton.

With a slight movement of his hand, Nyai Gendhis managed to return Gendra's sword and turned towards Gendra very quickly.

Gendra who realized that his sword was pointing towards him, as fast as lightning dodged and avoided himself. Gendra's sword leads to another delinquent and nests in his body, taking his life away instantly.

Gendra breathed a sigh of relief. It was almost like his sword had turned into a weapon for eating master. "I admit defeat, Nyai! I'm ready to accept any punishment!" gendra knelt down and confessed his defeat.

"Haha! How interesting! I love the spirit you show me!" nyai Gendhis looked at Gendra. Nyai Gendhis suddenly threw a bag of money in front of Gendra. "take it as your reward for making me happy!"

"Thank you! Thank you, Nyai!"

"Who of you is here with him?" Nyai Gendhis asked a group of delinquents who were present for a hoodlum who was killed by Gendra's sword.

Not a single voice was heard by Nyai Gendhis. "Because no one recognizes him, he came alone. His death was a great sacrifice in my eyes. Gendra, you help take care of the body and the others! Bury it properly! After all he's one part of us too."

"Okay, Nyai!" Gendra got up and approached the corpse that was hit by his sword. The person looked young. Maybe this has become a sign of his destiny, Gendra thought. Gendra pulled out his sword and put it in its sheath. Then ask another delinquent to help take care of the body.

"Functions, come here!"

"Him!" sahut Mungsya stood beside Nyai Gendhis.

"Where do you usually live?"

"The two of us are always moving around, Nyai! There's no place we live!"

"Good! From this moment on, I order you to occupy this house! I'll come call you if I need you to do your new job."

Mungsiya nodded in understanding. Nyai Gendhis then threw a bag of money at Munsiya. Slightly fuller than what Nyai Gendhis gave to Gendra. "That's enough to support you for the next month. Others may return or join Mungsiya if you wish. Mungsiya, today, I make this place your headquarters. Remember to keep him! I'll go first!"

"Thank you, Nyai!"

Nyai Gendhis wags his shawl and disappears instantly along with his daughter, Sekarwati, from the sight of Munsiya and other delinquents.

Jati hunt Mungsiya shortly after Nyai Gendhis and Sekarwati leave. "Mungsiya, I want to participate in occupying this house with you too," said Sembara Jati.

"If that's what you want, then stay!" balas Mungsiya went to enter a house that was provided by Nyai Gendhis as a headquarters.

"If anyone wants to go back, then come back! If anyone wants to stay with me, stay!" mutsiya shouted before entering the headquarters.

Other delinquents who chose to stay with Mungsiya soon followed in Mungsiya's footsteps. While others did not enter the headquarters and chose to return to their respective places.
