Munding - Legend of the Wolf Fighter

Chapter 52 - The New Child

A few hours later the car driven by Munding and Ambar reached a house located in a suburban area. Munding has absolutely no idea where this place is. But the scenery around this neighborhood reminds him of Munding's hometown.

There is a high mountain towering not far west there. This house itself can be said to be located at the foot of the mountain. Along the road to get here Munding also found many rice fields along the way, although not as wide as in the village of Munding.

Their car stopped in front of a large house. The front fence is made of a combination of a half-meter-high red brick wall which is then continued with iron poles that are attached to the top of the wall. Forming a row of pointed spears as high as 2 meters.

Behind the brick and iron fence, rows of bottle palm trees were planted neatly. The unique shape of a large palm tree at the base and shrinking upward it gives the impression of a little friendly if juxtaposed with a pointed spear of iron in the front fence.

A post measuring 2m x 2m was seen behind the gate. Two men in green striped uniforms and armed with long barrels were seen standing by there. When Ambar's car stopped in front of the gate, one of them swiftly opened the gate and asked for the car's glass to be lowered.

When he saw the passenger in the green Panther car, the two soldiers immediately gave a respectful attitude and Ambar replied to him. Then, the car drove into the yard of this house.

Munding circulated an eye view around him as he got out of the car with a small backpack on his right shoulder. A little astonishment was seen in his eyes. Ambar who had noticed all the movements of Munding caught it and breathed a little sigh of relief.

“At least, something amazed him a little. Otherwise, I began to doubt that he still had human nature,” complained Ambar inwardly.

Ambar then invites Munding to walk into the house. Soon a young woman in free and neat clothes welcomed Ambar's arrival. He whispered something into Ambar's ear and Ambar nodded his head in response.

“Munding, I'll meet the owner of this house first. He will give you your assignment and also be your guarantor in this program. Without him, you would still be curled up in solitary confinement at the moment,” Ambar said towards Munding.

Munding was silent without expression. Ambar did not take too much heart with Munding's attitude. He already knew the outline of the character of Munding from Bambang.

“This is Larasati, she caretaker this house. Later if you need anything in this house, just contact him,” Ambar said as he went and entered the inside of the house.

Larasati nodded her head in response to Ambar's introduction. Then the girl approached Munding and extended her hand. He wanted to shake hands with Munding.

“Hai, my name is Larasati, you can call Mbak, Mbak Laras or Laras directly. I work as ‘caretaker’ this house,” said Laras while pulling his hand that was never welcomed by Munding.

“Munding,” Reply Munding short, “caretaker, what is it?” ask Munding because his curiosity is disturbed.

Laras smiled at Munding's question, it's time to make the boy in front of him know how important Laras' position in this house is, “caretaker it's kind of the leader or admin of all the workers in this house. Ranging from driver, household assistant, gardener and more.”

“You can guess how many workers in this house?” ask Laras.

Munding shook his head in response.

Although Laras did not know for what the village youth in front of him was brought by Bu Ambar, one of the aides of trust Mr, but he believed that the young man in front of him must have come here to look for work. Therefore, Laras wants to show who is the boss here to the new boy who is likely to join this soon.

Munding was astonished by the behavior of the girl in front of him, but she did not bother at all because it was not at all important to him. Like a lion looking at a mocking squirrel in front of him and challenging him to a duel.

Should the Lion respond?

Suddenly a little girl of Munding's age came out from behind. Munding had no idea where the girl had come from, because the house was so spacious. As soon as he saw Munding who was standing with a backpack on his shoulder and Larasati who was standing in front of him with both hands folded in front of his chest, he knew what was happening.

“New boy Mbak?” ask the girl.

“Iya Mbak,” Laras replied as he lowered his head, all the arrogant attitude of Laras before did not apply before the girl.

“Who's been here?” ask the girl again.

“So come same Bu Ambar,” replied Laras.

“Yes if so, tell him to sleep in the pavilion at the back. There is no one to empathize with, right?” said the girl, although with a question sentence, but her commanding tone sounded obvious.

Laras nodded his head in response and motioned an eye to Munding to follow him. Munding looked briefly at Ambar disappearing then shrugged his shoulders and followed Laras.

The little girl glanced at the back of Laras and the young man who was walking towards the back pavilion at her command.

The girl's name is Amelia Suseno, the only daughter of Broto Suseno, the owner of this house. In this house, Amel was a princess. As long as he gave the order, no one would dare to refuse him. Unless Amel's orders are over rule by his Papa.

Amel's mother died in childbirth. Therefore, Broto loved this only daughter very much. But as a man, Broto who is still quite young and has a high position in the Army certainly can not live a widower. Broto finally found a stepmother for Amel.

Stepmother named Anggraeni Suseno.

This novel is not a story about the cruel stepmother, Anggraeni Suseno who is often called Reni by her family is a good stepmother. But because it may be a difference in age that is not much different from Amel, Amel never called Reni as Mama. He more often calls with the name Ma'am if there is a Papa and will immediately call the name if there is no Papa near them.

Reni is a student who is still studying at one of the private universities in Semarang City. Only God knows how an aged Broto can challenge him.
