Munding - Legend of the Wolf Fighter

Chapter 8 - Moving schools

Munding slowly opened his eyes. He felt some pain coming from his left temple. Munding then raised his hand and tried to hold the painful part. And he found a bandage neatly wrapped there.

Little Munding tried to look around him and try to figure out where he was now. But this room felt very foreign to him. Although Munding knows, this place is not a treatment room in Puskemas village.

“Mas Munding is safe?” there was the voice of a little girl from beside the bed where Munding lay.

Munding turned his head and saw a little girl who was seen crying and sitting on a chair next to the bed where Munding lay.

“Dek Nurul? Mas Munding where is this?” ask Munding.

“This is Nurul's room, earlier Mr. calling Bu Midwife to take care of Mas Munding. Nurul was afraid, there was a lot of blood,” Nurul replied.

Munding heard the voices of people speaking outside and Munding recognized one of the voices.

Seeing Munding was conscious, Nurul stood while smiling towards Munding, “Nurul call you first huh?”

“Father, Mas Munding is awake,” Nurul said after he came out of his room.

Shortly after, two men entered Nurul's room where Munding lay. One of them was Mr. Yai.

“Razak, you saw it yourself! Cook it if the mischief of children can leak his head like that? This is clearly a delay. Even worse when I met the Munding first. You ask Nurul aja, what was the condition of Munding at that time,” said Pak Yai to the man standing next to him.

The man called ‘Razak’ by Mr. Yai observed Munding's condition briefly then took a deep breath.

“Who hurt you like this Le? The one yesterday too?” ask Mr. Razak to Munding.

Munding only fell silent and glanced at Pak Yai. Mr. Yai smiled at Munding, “gak pa-pa you just answer Mr. Razak's question, he's the village head Sumber Rejo,” explained Mr. Yai.

“Yang throwing stones friend Munding Pak, his name is Joko, Joko Sentono,” replied Munding slowly.

“The accuracy is indeed too late the actions of the child of Si Karto. Yes already, I will try, for a while let him rest at home first,” Razak said towards Mr. Yai.

Mr. Razak came out of the room and was followed by Mr. Yai. Shortly heard the sound of a motorbike leaving the yard of Pak Yai's house.

A few days later, then Munding know what is meant by the words Mr. Razak ‘ pursued’. It turns out that Mr. Yai asked Mr. Razak to take care of the transfer of Munding to SDN Sumber Rejo. So Munding does not need to go to school again in his old Elementary School.

Munding was delighted to hear the news. Although the elementary school is only a few months away but at least Munding does not need to feel the bully of Joko and his friends.

But, in addition to Munding, there is something more cool when Munding successfully moved to SDN Sumber Rejo. Nurul, Pak Yai's daughter. When asked by his mother, why is Nurul so happy? Nurul replied, Nurul finally had a sister who could be invited back to school together.

Munding has already started attending his new school. Indeed, Munding is not at all familiar with the children at this school, but Munding felt more secure and calm to receive school lessons. Moreover, there will soon be a final evaluation.

That afternoon, after Ashar, Munding studied as usual with Nurul. Although still broken, but Munding began to smoothly read the Qur’an.

But for some reason, Mr. Yai accompanied them today.

Because Munding has made progress in teaching him, Nurul becomes more rarely angry at Munding. Only Pak Yai aja who did not reduce the sabetage of rattan to the body of Munding.

“Nurul, pay attention first. You want to talk to Munding,” said Mr. Yai.

“White Sir,” replied Nurul while nodding.

Nurul tidied Iqro’ scattered on the table used for teaching assisted by Munding. Soon the table was back.

“Le, here!” said Mr. Yai.

Munding approached Pak Yai, arriving near Pak Yai, Munding sat next to him. Nurul then entered the house while carrying his Quran.

“You are a Le man, but you are often mistaken for your friend. Have you never fought?” ask Mr. Yai.

Munding lowered his head, then he replied, “Munding used to fight Mr. Yai, but they always wiggled, at least 6 people, sometimes more, they never wanted Munding if again alone.”

Pak Yai crinkled his forehead, “it used to mean since when?”

“Since two years ago Mr. Yai, since Mr. Munding died in class 4 SD,” replied Munding.

“So you've been impersonated by your friends for almost 2 years?” asked Mr. Yai somewhat surprised.

“Iya Pak Yai,” Munding replied slowly.

“Lha what is your mother in her to?” said Mr. Yai.

“It is precisely Mother who is the reason they want Munding, Mr. Yai. Mother herself if mengeliat Munding injuries usually she just, but when Munding used to volunteer, there were still injured children, Mother even raged with Munding, because her Father came home, and her father was injured,” Reply Munding.

Pak Yai took a deep breath. Munding had already told about the behavior of his mother the Widow of Sutinah, but he never thought that a real mother could do that with her own child.

“Udah gini aja, starting tomorrow afternoon ba’da ashar, you practice silat, Mr who is ajar,” said Pak Yai.

“What is Pak Yai?” ask Munding.

“Kamu njai same Nurul after Maghrib, will same prayer already be able, so later Nurul can still be sadarus after Isya as usual,” replied Pak Yai.

“Iya Pak Yai,” Munding replied.

And Munding finally began to learn silat from Pak Yai.
