Munding - Legend of the Wolf Fighter

Chapter 38 - Initiation! Part 2

Ayu, Karto and Jumali, the three main actors have all gathered together, Munding said in his heart. He kept pressing the wound on his stomach with his left hand so that the blood would not come out of it too quickly.

Munding then fell on the living room floor crawling with one hand as a pedestal and one hand still holding a knife in his stomach.

“Where is Sutinah?” asked Munding while clenching his jaw.

“Why are you looking for me Le? Want to be with your mom?” cibir Sutinah who came out from inside one of the rooms on the second floor. Behind him are 4 people with thick hair and sturdy bodies. The clothes of the five of them looked a little disheveled. I don't know what they were doing up there in the room.

Munding sensed the danger of the four men walking down following Sutinah. The threat felt far greater than all the enemies he had ever faced. He knew that the four were not ordinary civilians. They exuded the aura of a warrior accustomed to self-discipline.

“Sial!!” Munding berated in his heart, “if only 5 thugs Karto, I believe can beat them with this body condition. But these four are other people. They're trained warriors.”

Munding's face looks more pale because the blood still continues to drip from the wound on his stomach.

“Why Deck?” said Ayu, “you did not expect ya?”

“You are too innocent and stupid!! Just like your Father!” continue Ayu.

“Your father shouldn't have died if he didn't try to divorce Mom that day. After all, he already knows what Mom has done for a long time,” said Ayu, “and you know what reason your Father used to divorce Mom? Because his son has seen the depraved behavior of his mother with Karto.”

“Hahahhahaahhaha.” Ayu laughed hysterically, “who would want to lose your inheritance because of an *****like Sutinah? I don't want.”

“Tapiiiii, if the words of the Father are true, means that day you saw Mom cheating with Karto ya Dek?” ask Ayu again with a grin.

Munding only looked silently at Ayu who was now standing beside Karto. Five of Karto's men also moved around Munding, who was still on the floor.

Sutinah who had arrived in the living room then sat on one of the sofas and looked towards Munding. The four men who had been walking behind Sutinah immediately placed their position around Munding but they were outside Karto's thugs.

Sutinah looks mediocre hearing Ayu cursing her *****. He also did not look sad to see Munding fall down and drip blood on the floor. Munding glanced at her for a while and thought, is it possible that this woman's heart is made of stone?

“Do not see me like that!” said Sutinah, “aku and Wage, everything is just a business relationship. She wants me to conceive her child, continue her lineage. Because when I gave birth to Ayu, she knew what I was doing. She wants a DNA test when the baby is born. And you really are the son of that moron. You don't think your father was a fool, do you?”

“That means, before Ayu was born, I always thought of you as his wife, right?” tanya Munding quietly answered by Sutinah, “before your lies finally exposed because Ayu was born.”

“You,” said Munding towards Ayu, “why expect the inheritance from my Father? Not a single drop of Father's blood is in your body! Why don't you ask for an inheritance from the Chinese Koko? You look more like him than his own son,” said Munding.

“Shut!!” yell Ayu, “this is all because of you. You already consider me your own son. He also promised me some family possessions. But why do you even see the depravity of Mother and report it to Father?”

“You should know, I keep my Mother as his wife for your sake. He wants you to think that you live in a happy family!” yell Ayu.

“Already,” says Karto who stands next to Ayu, “not much more talk. Finish his life! I'll take care of the rice certificates and the savings in the envelope! We'll dump Jumali's body and her body in the river, just like I dumped Wage's body first.”

Munding felt something wriggling up in his chest when he heard Karto's words. But somehow Munding did not feel the anger as usual.

Didn't he find his father's killer in plain sight?

Munding actually felt a great sense of sadness and a little guilt. Munding felt the pain from the knife stab in his stomach gradually disappear. All the senses in his body also became dysfunctional. He could not hear, see and smell what was in the room around him.

Sensation similar to the one Munding ever experienced time ‘awakening’.

Suddenly Munding felt he was in a vacuum familiar to him.

Inside this dark space, Munding floated without stepping on anything. He just stood still while floating in his place. Not far in front of him he saw a figure ‘Munding’ who stood behind him.

The sadness and guilt he felt earlier came from ‘Munding’.

“Why are you sad?” ask Munding.

‘Dia’ turned her body towards Munding, “you should know why I am sad? Am I not a part of you?” said slowly.

Munding suddenly sensed that something very important was going on here. He recalled Pak Yai's last message about the Wolf Fighter.

The final step to becoming a real Wolf Fighter is ‘initiasi’. And said Mr. Yai, a fighter is considered to have been initiated if he ever took the lives of others with both hands.

Munding felt that now was a very appropriate point for initiation. But he's confused. Shouldn't he just need to kill someone with both hands to get initiated?

No, everything will not be that easy, Munding said. If it were that easy, there were already many assassins who became fighting wolves, hadn't they already finished off many people with both hands?

Munding looked back at ‘Munding’ in front of him and the radiance of sadness and guilt that came out of ‘himself’.

Be guilty?

Suddenly Munding remembered his treatment to Jumali's wife, Bu Carik. That's the only thing that made him feel guilty tonight and maybe for a while.

Wh why?

Why do I feel guilty for Miss Carik? Nope. I feel guilty for my father. Why do I feel guilty about my father? Didn't I never meet Miss Carik before?

Is it because Jumali is a loyal friend of the Father who is willing to sacrifice his life for the Father? But if it's like that I should feel guilty to Jumali, not to Father.
