"How's your training going?" adnan asked the two young men.

"We have started the practice of attacking each other. a little more we will undergo the ceremony moduhu." replied Trias.

"Oh yeah? good dong. I didn't expect the two of you to be able to learn the ladder that fast." said Adnan with admiration.

"Pa... What is the movement of the langga like that?" ask Kenzie.

"Indeed why? or maybe you realize something?" adnan Fishing line.

"Our movement is like a movement that refers to the 8 winds" Kenzie said.

"Of course, what you learn is langga la'i." replied Adnan.

"How many of them are there?" asked Kenzie while sitting in a long chair.

"Actually langga consists of two types, namely langga la'i and langga bua. actually the difference is not in the structure of its movement, but in the nuances of aggression in paralyzing the opponent. that is why langga la'i is more in the direction of the game alone.as for langga bua it is very aggressive in facing the opponent.that is why the movement of the move is only two langga bua that is backward and forward." said Adnan.

the two young men continued to look at his father's explanation of langga bua. according to Adnan, langga is influenced by linula (region) so that it affects the movement. langga la'i is most widely practiced in the Suwawa region, Bone and Batuda'a. langga buai studied in the region of Tapa most populated by pohala'a bolango and limboto.

"Why did the langga that incidentally was created by Ju Panggola (title for King Ilato) split into two? was it intentional? is it because of old politics?" ask Kenzie curiously .

"This is not due to the politics between north and south, but rather to the developments in the linula controlled by the northern and southern kingdoms.each linula is free to develop the langga flow they are in, regardless of royal power." replied Adnan.

the two young men looked at each other while Adnan smiled.

"Already, finish your education here first. later if it is in the duhu then you can go down the mountain nantangi langga heroes scattered in this minapolitan area" said Adnan while chuckling again.

bapu Ridhwan. Adnan greeted him and kissed his hand.

"How's Bapu doing?" greetings Adnan .

"I'm fine!" bapu Ridhwan. "Did you come to enjoy a meal or just want to see your son?"

"Father better understand what is in my mind and heart" replied Adnan with a smile.

"You watch!" bapu Ridhwan.

suddenly Bapu Ridhwan darted forward to hit Adnan.fortunately the man immediately responded to dodge and put duduta'o. front foot forward while the back foot was bent, like the horses kokutsu dachi. the other hand is stuck on the waist while the other hand is lifted up with the fingers closed.

while Bapu Ridhwan stood down with his hands that also moved like a person who was dancing, his gaze was not directed fixed, but Kenzie and Trias understood that the grandfather was being directed full of concentration.

the two men of different ages and generations are practicing mohudu wawu mohemeto to give a concrete example of how a real struggle is going on.

accompanied by a screech, Adnan advanced to attack exerting all his abilities while Bapu Ridhwan only defended with all his abilities.

both are now dissolved in the motion of bolubu'o, punggu and walama. (Gestions, interlocking and escaping each other from lockdown.) the two young men watched the struggle with a look of amazement.

"I think the game tai chi chuan is somewhat similar to this langga. lo and behold.the two are like fused in attack and defense are exposed in the same motion and in rhythm." said Trias commented.

Kenzie laughs. "Do you think Thio Sam Hong and Ju Panggola have ever met and discussed martial arts?"

Trias looked at Kenzie with his brows furrowed. "I'm serious Ojjaaang.

"Lha isn't that so. langga time you're equal to tai chi chuan? yes different laaa... langga according to me can still be classified in the type of silat, but the ancient flow, kayak ralek, starlak, beksi.... gituu...." refute Kenzie.

"I just see the structure of the movement is a bit similar" Trias said.

"Is a similarity to the standard that langga is another form of tai chi chuan? that so?" kenzie Fishing line.

"Bro, didn't Bakri ever tell you that silat, muay thai and kung fu are branches of ancient Indian martial arts called vajramusthi and khalaripayat?" the word Trias reminds.

"Yes, it is, but it is far different from the upstream... even if you suspect that art from southeast and east asia comes from India, I can also formulate that the ancient art of India came from the ancient fighting art taught by the soldiers of Alexander the Great (Iskandar al-Maqduni) to the people of India when they expanded there. and it could be armed with ancient martial arts from Macedonia that Chandragupta the founder of the Mauryan dynasty founded the first kingdom in India." replied Kenzie at length.

"Aaahhhhh. I know you learned a lot" said Trias relented.

Kenzie laughed again. "Not really. You've forgotten how I am, how you are..."

Trias laughs. "Yes, we're both students of combat arts."

the two of them returned to face the fight in front of them. Triassic is back to observing.

"Isn't there anything strange you think?" fishing rods Trias.

"What's so weird?" ask Kenzie.

"Your father's fighting style is somewhat different from Bapu Ridhwan's" Trias replied.

Kenzie followed the observe and he confirmed it with a nod of his head several times.

"Is it possible, Papa's movement is. " muttered Kenzie while addressing Trias.

" Langga Bua???" guess Trias in amazement.

Kenzie nodded.

"Where did your father learn? didn't the Langga he learned come from Bapu Ridhwan?" trias said with wonder and curiosity.

Kenzie did not answer and went back to watch the fight, until in the end both Adnan and Bapu Ridhwan broke free from their lockdown and took a distance of 2 meters between the two.

Adnan regulate the breath, as well as Bapu Ridhwan. which most amazes Kenzie and Trias, is cleanliness and neatness that is maintained when both practice mohudu wawu mohemeto. not a single piece of dirt on the ground stuck in their clothes, although Adnan wore white cocoa clothes embroidered with blue threads.

"Bapu... watiya debo ja motame uamu." said Adnan while laughing. (i can not go beyond..).

Bapu Ridhwan laughed, "Da bo yi'o olo ja mbalajari turusi..." (You also don't keep learning)

"Wawu wololo development li mongoliyo dulota ti atiii...?" adnan asked expectantly. (And how did they develop?)

" good.... Bapu did not expect the two of them to be this smart. In just a week they can do mohudu wawu mohemeto like us. although not too pure, they both can be proud." replied Bapu Ridhwan.

" Otutus? Alhamdulillah.." timpal Adnan then rubbed his palms into the face of a sign of gratitude.

"After offering them a moduhu, I will hand over Mamoru's heirloom to Chiyome. It is appropriate for the grandson to receive a blessing from his ancestor, and it is time for me to let go of my burden for keeping the heirloom." bapu Ridhwan.

Suwawa, December 31, 2020. 09.00 p.m.

Bapu Ridhwan decided that Kenzie and Trias had finished learning from him, according to him, the two young men were like ornaments that complement each other. like the moon and the sun are different but complement the rules of the universe with their rotation.

"If you want to continue your education, learn to Adnan.he can give more introduction if you want to know about langga" said Bapu Ridhwan earlier.

"Where did Papa learn the bua langga?" ask Kenzie.

"Sama Bapu Yasin in Atinggola." Adnan replied briefly. The man smiled and then continued, "Later Papa teach you both.we can practice in a private dojo, right?" he said while winking.

Kenzie and Trias smiled widely and nodded at the same time.

there is an interesting story about the langga bua. there used to be a swordsman family who had a daughter who was good at langga. One time, the father wanted to match the child with the man of his choice, but the child protested loudly.The girl wanted to be edited if the man could beat her in a fight langga.the father said, no man can beat her. so the princess eases her requirements.Whoever the man who can touch her breasts in the langga fight, then he will be the husband of the woman.

...*********...

that night, in the middle room held a mopitodu ceremony for the last time.This ceremony is known as moduhu, which is giving blessings through the blood of roosters who have seen the color of his legs (Lai lo malu'o). actually this ceremony is done according to the custom of every existing linula. if the northern linula is inhabited by the Bulango and Limutu (Limboto), then the chicken that will be in lai lo malu'o must be a forest chicken. as for the southern linula inhabited by the tribe Suwawa, Bone and Batuda'a, the chicken can be a chicken but must be seen the color of his legs.this is called mo pudungga lati lo malu'o.

why should chicken? in Gorontalo culture, chickens are agile and aggressive animals, with sharp vision from each side. that is why there appears an expression de lo tutulehu lo malu'o (Like a chicken's sleep).

the chicken that will be in the podungga lati lo malami'o will be slaughtered, then the blood and crest will be taken and placed on a small plate.The chicken's blood will be made pitodu. pitodu water then placed in a bottle.

Kenzie and Trias lay down. Bapu Ridhwan appeared dressed in all-black clothes with the piingo crowning his long-haired head. she then sat cross-legged between the two young men's heads while Chiyome looked with admiration at her husband who was now lying in wait for her great-grandfather to perform the ceremony moduhu wawu mopasi.[]
