Legend of the Swordsman of Goa
Born swordsman
Born a child in a village of ordinary commoners, he was born as usual to other children, but no one expected him to have a privilege that was never expected.
His specialty is that no one knows anything other than his own father. That is the privilege that is in him there is a birthmark on his body. Even though his mother was unaware of the mark which was in the unknown part of him, the sign of his body was only faintly visible in the right hand.
As usual, the mother always went to the lake to fetch water. At that time, his mother saw his young son come out of a cave near Telaga.
When she got home, she complained to her husband.
"Dad," called the wife when she just got home from Telaga.
"Yes, Mom, what's wrong?" the husband and asked.
"That's when Mom took the water in the lake, Mom saw our son playing into the cave at the end of the forest, didn't you realize that our son often plays into the cave at the end of the forest there?"
Instead, her husband simply answered like there was no concern for his son at all. In fact, it looks very relaxed when he hears a complaint from his wife.
"Let's just Mom, let our kid play wherever he likes.
"Dad this is why, he's our son, which we have to take good care of. Didn't you know that goa is strictly off limits?" his wife said in an annoyed tone.
"Mom, Goa is forbidden only for people who are afraid to approach it. I went to that cave, too, but nothing happened." Answer her husband relax.
"Yes, if so, it's up to me. But remember, if anything happens to our son, it's father's business, and I'm not responsible." Said his wife who looked so worried about her son.
After the husband and wife talked about his son who was caught going to Goa, Araki's father Unjonglalu met his son.
At that time, his father saw his favorite son was practicing martial arts which his father taught, smiling with pride.
"Araki, come here, son." Call his father while watching the child.
"Yes, Dad." Araki replied, and stopped practicing.
"Oh yeah, is it true, that you went to Goa?" ask the father full of questions.
"Em .. Yes, Dad. Why, is there something you're afraid of?" he answered and asked his parents.
"There's nothing I'm afraid of, son. It's just that your mother saw you go to Goa. That's what worries your mother, so I asked you directly.
"I'm sorry Araki, Dad. If it's making you worry." Hanta felt guilty.
"It's okay, I don't mind it at all, over where you're going. I just want to tell you. Next time, if you want to go to Goa, let no one else know, let alone your mother." Said the father in an affectionate tone towards his favorite son, not forgetting to give him a little advice.
"Yes, Dad, next time Araki will be careful to leave the house." He answered by bowing his head because he felt guilty, because it had made his mother worry about him.
The father smiled and immediately patted his son's shoulder, as if beckoning to his favorite child.
After that, the father left in front of his son. Of course, so that the child is more free to explore the science of martial arts.
Araki, who is now alone again, chooses to continue his training. As he dreamed, just never feel tired or bored to learn and continue to learn.
The next day, Araki approached her mother to apologize to her.
Slowly, Araki sat next to his mother who was sitting relaxing behind the house.
"Araki, what's up, son?" asked her mother when she found her son sitting next to her.
"It's nothing, Mom. Araki just wanted to talk to Mom something, but ...." Araki answered and hung up his sentence.
"But why, Araki?"
"Em .. Look, Mom. Actually Araki wants to apologize, about yesterday." The answer is a little nervousness.
"I'm sorry, about what?" ask the mother who does not understand what her child means.
"Look, Mom. Actually Araki wants to apologize about coming here, about playing to the cave without my knowledge. I'm sorry Araki, Mom. Araki confesses wrongly, for not asking Mom's permission. Also, it's made me worry." He apologized, and convinced his mother.
His mother smiled when she heard the confession from her son.
"Son, it's not that Mom forbids you to go to that cave. I'm just worried and afraid something might happen to you, that's all. If you want to play, anywhere is okay, as long as you don't go to the cave." Her mother suggested stroking her child's head gently.
Araki nodded slowly, reassuring her mother.
After conversing with her son about the cave that was visited by Hanya, her mother immediately left Araki to continue her work.
While Araki himself chose to go to practice as usual, namely about his martial arts with his father without his mother's knowledge.
"Son, it is time that you will grow up and there will be many obstacles in the world, face those obstacles wisely, and do not make you arrogant when you are able to deal with them. If you feel defeated, do not run away from the obstacles and challenges that are blocking you." Say the father while walking hand in hand and do not forget to give a little advice to his son.
While walking in tandem, it does not feel that it has reached the yard of the house. Then, the two immediately went inside and found his mother who was preparing food to eat together.
While enjoying the food, the little family talked about the brothers who had gone to die at home.
Araki asks her two brothers who have left them for two years, and makes the figure of the sister misses her.
"Dad, when's brother coming home?" ask Hanta about his two brothers who never came back to go home.
The father smiled at Araki's question
"You know, your brothers have chosen their way. Trust me, Dad, someday, we'll be reunited." Answer the father while chewing food.
"But it's true, Pa, that the Araki brothers are going home?" he wanted to get reassurance from his father, not just promises and promises.
"Yes, son." The father replied to reassure his son, Hanta smiled happily at him.

Not felt either, apparently the time passed was so long. it has been ten years, and now the figure of Araki has grown into an adult.
He never ceases to ask where his brother went, because he never returned home. Sad feeling, that's for sure.
Asking, the answer will be the same. Until making the figure of Araki confused made it.
As usual, after martial arts training, Araki went home with his father.
On the way, boldly, he expressed his desire to catch up with his brothers who had long since left home. It doesn't matter to him if he has to get rejection from his father though.
"Dad," call Hanta while walking.
The father turned to Hanta and stopped his way.
"Yes, son, why?"
"Araki kangen with Araki's two brothers, Dad. I'd love to find out where my sister is." He answered with a very serious look at his father.
"Why do you want so much to find your sister, son? wouldn't being in that house be much better?" the father assured his favorite son.
"But, Well, Araki is now an adult. Of course, want to find something new out there." He answered in a hopeful voice from his father.
"Dad needs an opinion from your mother. So, the decision is with your mother." The father said while holding his son's two shoulders.
Arriving at home, the father conveyed the child's persistent desire to leave the house to his wife.
"Mom," called Araki's father to her mother who was sitting while sewing her husband's torn clothes.
"Yes, what's wrong?" ask her wife to her husband.
His father sat next to Araki's mother. Then, bravely to deliver a message from his son.
"Look, Mom, Araki asked for permission to leave this house, it will be far away from us, Mom. What do you think, if you're gonna let him go to find his brothers who've gone somewhere." Said the husband to be asked for an opinion about his son who wanted to say goodbye to leave the house".
The mother looked at her beloved son with a heavy heart to give an answer.
"Actually it's very heavy for Mom, but .. what's Mother's power, son. I can't force you and hold you back. If indeed your wishes have been unanimous, well, I do not forbid it. Because I know, this is bound to happen to you, Hanta, just like his brothers they want to go find themselves. I can't say anything, if your decision's already made." Said the mother with a sense of unwillingness to let go of her favorite child without a companion.
.

On the day of Araki's departure, his father and mother finally let go of his favorite child with sadness, because his youngest child will go just like his brothers who had gone somewhere.
After getting the blessing of his parents, Araki said goodbye to leave like his brothers.
"Dad, Mother, forgive Araki who has to leave this house. Araki promised, I'll go home with brother." Hanta reassured his parents.
