Karuhuns

Part 50: Si Aing Lengir

His body was huge, about 5 meters high. I once faced a bigger one, belonging to Abah Ijang, a shaman in my father's village. But this one, this one looks so much like me, I just shudder with both hands that are like scissors. Yes, scorpion claws, whether or not there is poison in the hand.

“Behra, his hands are no poison?” I asked the owner.

“Cobain aja aja, ntar new tau.” Centil boy! Even joking.

Not yet ready, suddenly Si Aing immediately pulled his clawed hand towards my body, I retreated quickly, if this one seemed like Karembo Hejo and Kujang were less powerful.

“Pram, Karembo Beureum!” I screamed at Pram, he was on the sidelines, ah we were playing the ball, a lot of people were watching on the sidelines and Pram was my coach. He threw his Karembo Beureum.

I caught the Karembo and pulled both sides with both hands, after feeling strong, I ran to point Karembo at his neck, not yet getting there, he pulled Karemboku with a clawed hand and pulled him, my body was pulled along, he was about to bang his head on my body, but my feet landed on his head first and with one hit I managed to get off.

Not really this Karuhun, how could Behra be the choice of this beast, even though she is a funny woman, typical of ABG.

“Behra, what are your skills?”

“No, I'm not proficient at anything.” He laughed out loud. Bad boy, he knows I'm being pinched by this fight, really I can't see his weakness, he has a very hard skin, a head protected by thorns and a terrible clawed hand, he said, not to mention his feet, which were filled with claws, were at first glance similar ....

“Good Heulang! Hitchhiking on my body, now.” I commanded Bagus Heulang, he came and entered my body, my eyes turned bright red, my hands were burning fire. I clasped my hands with the flames, ran towards him, punched him in the stomach, hit him! I punched him again and again with a blaze in my hand, he retreated slowly then made the stance of the horses, caught my shoulder, and threw my body. I fell head over heels, his stomach looked fine, there was no change from the blow with the blaze I was doing.

“How long has it been Pram?” I asked.

“15 minutes Ayi.” I rubbed my cheeks that were beret-barret, there were drops of blood there, the residents were seen enjoying this spectacle.

“Pram should we withdraw money from this spectacle, see how much money we can get from a spectacle like this?”

“You think you're playing circus Quin! If it's money, it's easy for me.” Pram is arrogant, I'm kidding too. Because honestly I was thinking, this creature is too powerful.

“Ayi Ajian Asih.” Mang Nariman shouted.

“Mang! Just 15 minutes, that's a dishonorable way, I want to conquer it under my feet.”

Asih Kalerah is the taming of Karuhun by conquering through battle, while Ajian Asih Kalerah is, the mantra spoken by the mouth of Ayi Mahogra, the spell will be a command for all Karuhun, but this is not honorable, forcing a creature to obey you because of power, I want to conquer it by defeating it, until he accepts that I am stronger than him, so that he will submit perfectly.

“Alright, this is actually a bit extravagant, but I'll try, Pram borrow your whip.” Pram throws his whip, whip also Behra's weapon, let's see if he wants to obey me.

I held the whip in my right hand, the cleaver in my left hand and the Beureum karembo in my neck. Let's see if he can still escape.

I ran as fast as lightning, jumped up to his chest, stuck the barb there, grabbed his head with a whip, took off the still stuck barn and took Karembo, wrapped around Si Aing's neck, and then took it, after the twists were tight I pulled the tip of the karembo and ran towards the front, so that Si Aing bowed because of the winding of the neck, I pulled Karembo more, while the whip I still held in my right hand. He looked overwhelmed, I laughed, while my left hand was still pulling him until he had fallen down.

At this point I felt I had won, kept pulling it, but I saw Si Aing doing a scissor with her clawed hand on Pram's Karembo, and ....

Ctasss, brett ... Karembo Pram ripped and finally broke up, what! He can tear the karembo of the Kharisma Jagat Agung! crazy creature!

I saw Behra laughing out there. He was excited because his Karuhun was able to surprise me again and again.

“Pram, I have nothing left, even my bachelor is still stuck in his body. What should I do Pram?” I'm rattled.

“Pram, stop there!” I remind you that I must not be helped, otherwise this conquest will be in vain, because the core of the conquest is one-on-one, if I am helped, he will refuse to be an ally.

Pram backed away in annoyance. I'm cross-legged, the sign asks for time, Si Aing is cross-legged, it's been half an hour and I haven't found his weakness.

I try to remember what Behra does every day, what he likes and what he doesn't like, because Karuhun down is impossible for no reason.

I laugh out loud, seriously this? should I do it? But I'm not very good, even though I used to practice in Junior High, but it's been a long time.

I stood up, Si Aing, stood up, then I spread my legs, bent a little, stretched out my left hand, then bent my right arm with my fingers firmly facing up, and I bent my fingers, my left leg lifted and I bent.

“Pram, said Mang Nariman, I want him to light the song Daun Pulus Keser Bojong, we will see if I can dance it better than Karuhun's owner.”

Yes, my movement is Jaipong movement, I started the initial movement, then tried to remember some of the raw movements of Jaipong dance, I saw Si Aing, silent to see me, I did the Capang movement, I did the Capang movement, then followed by the movement Nyawang usually people call the movement as if seeing something far away, the more I danced loudly, he calmed down.

Twenty minutes I danced in front of this savage Karuhun, then closed the dance by doing shoulder-punching, slowly heading towards Si Aing, and draping my Karembo Hejo, as a sign of the acceptance of the conquest by Karuhun that I was domesticating.

When Karembo had covered his head, his originally large size became small, the size of my body, then he resigned and disappeared.

“Yaaa, ketauan.” Behra shouted from the sidelines, “kok know, if I like dancing?” Behra approached me who was exhausted from fighting as well as dancing in front of his savage Karuhun.

“Today when I said Ayi Kayas sang and danced, I saw your eyes shone with admiration, just now when I thought about what you liked and disliked, I remembered that expression, so I tried to dance, I did not like it, and sure enough, your Karuhun really likes you to dance, maybe the positive energy when you dance is so high, until finally Si Aing Lengir is willing to become your Karuhun. It turns out that I was right, the weakness of a Karuhun is his Charisma Jagatnya, so after I knew what made Karuhun choose you was a dance, so I won only with a dance, ironically, once, even I wasted the whole weapon, only for Karuhun who was crazy about dance, fortunately I once learned Jaipong.”

“Ayi, I'm amazed, you even saw the change in my expression, I don't think anyone is as sensitive as that look at someone's countenance.”

“Name Ayi Mahogra.” Pram approached us and then held onto my exhausted-looking shoulder, he asked me to return to our inn. I'm really tired.

“You want to carry?” Pram asked.

“You want me to kick it?” I clenched my hands and he just smiled.

“Mang Nariman, the day after I will face your Karuhun yes.” I shouted, because Mang Nariman is far away.

“Isn't it too fast? How about next week?” Mang Nariman asked.

“I want it tomorrow, but I'm afraid I haven't recovered, I don't have much Mang.” time

Then Mang Nariman nodded in agreement.

Author's Note :

So from my mother's family, all her siblings were given one ability, for example my mother's youngest sister, she was given extraordinary dancing skills, if you have heard the dance song Jaipong he will dance like a possessed person, even though he has never practiced dancing, but his whole body moves automatically when he hears the song, like a professional dancer, he said, whip got a mouth turns out every time he would dance, his body is boarded by a genie who is good at dancing.

Just imagining it made me shudder, as her face instantly turned so confident and beautiful, originally very shy and unable to dance at all.
