My Father Is A Guardian's

Short Duel

In Santoso's room, Santoso was sleeping because he couldn't sleep all night. The effect of the potion given by Mr. Surya did make his stomach feel burning from the quartz and deep.

His sweat did not stop pouring and soaking his body until he decided to be bare-chested so as not to dirty all his clothes.

Santoso slept so well. It was a peaceful moment before the battle and Santoso enjoyed it a lot. But soon the shadows while Jaya is being tortured in front of her soon make her peaceful sleep a nightmare.

Santoso recalled how they tortured Jaya to the point of making her so badly injured. Every slap, whip, blow, etched clearly into Santoso's memory.

“Arghhh!!” santoso shouted who was now awake. With roaring breath and sweat pouring out, Santoso grabbed a glass of water at his bedside table

“Why even a nightmare.” Santoso Mumbles.

Santoso thought back to why he remembered the incident a year ago. Santoso looked at his watch, it was already one in the afternoon. Santoso grabbed the towel he had hung behind the door and stepped towards the bathroom.

The bandage that wrapped his wound was waterproof so Santoso could bathe freely.

After finishing bathing he wore a knee-length boxer, bare-chested showing his athletic body.

Santoso prepared a plain white martial art stelan and placed it on the mattress.

Santoso picked up a plain black shirt from his hanger, then put it on before leaving his room.

Santoso walked to the kitchen to eat. Last night he did not eat dinner and this morning did not make his stomach rumble starving.

However while passing the dining table he was intercepted by Alia and asked her to join. Santoso was not happy to accept it but also could not refuse. Santoso sat next to Taufik.

As usual they ate without making a sound, after finishing they just had a few talks. Alia immediately asked how Santoso was preparing to face Jonathan.

“No special preparations, Miss. I've always been in combat ready mode.” Answer Santoso.

“I hope you can give Jonathan a little lesson.” Alia.

“Al, don't forget that Mr. Andreas has requested this as a friendly match. You are Santoso too, not because you want to make Alia proud so you hurt Jonathan excessively. Make him happy, not too serious. But because the referee is Master J, then you also have to win.” Pak Surya's orders.

“Good Big Master.” Santoso answered with respect.

“Bauklah, you can go.” Said Mr. Surya.

Santoso returned to his room, Alia to his study with Taufik completing some documents that the secretary sent them.

Time goes by quickly, Mr. Andreas comes with Jonathan and Victor, escorted by their four Bodyguards of trust.

Jonathan was already wearing plain black martial arts clothes.

Mr. Surya immediately greeted them and immediately invited them to the rooftop, where the duel was held.

There was already Santoso waiting in plain white martial arts clothes who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the gym.

His gaze stared intently forward, looking very serious. Jonathan was made a minder by him.

Shortly thereafter Master J also came accompanied by Master Theo.

They shake hands with each other.

Since Master J's time wasn't too much, they did the match first.

Alia was already there, sitting with Master Theo, Taufik and Dedi while Victor sat with Mr. Andreas and Mr. Surya. All of their bodyguards stood guard near the gym.

The unexpected thing happened, Master J took off the top of his martial clothes and showed his body full of muscular muscles, then put it on the back of his chair. Santoso could only swallow his saliva looking at what Master J was lying about.

Master J walked to the edge of the gym and looked at Santoso and Jonathan. Santoso stood up and saluted Master J.

“What are you waiting for, take off your clothes and show that you do not use body armor in this battle.” Master J said seriously.

Jonathan is reluctant to do so but must obey Master J's orders.

Jonathan gave his clothes to his bodyguard.

Now Master J and Jonathan are staring intently at Santoso.

“Didn't you hear?” ask Master J.

Santoso thought for a moment before looking towards Pak Surya. After Pak Surya nodded his head Santoso slowly undressed.

Master J was quite surprised to see a waterproof bandage attached to Santoso's stomach.

“Not serious wound.” Answer Santoso.

“Alright, I will not choose love even if you are seriously injured though.” Master J.

Master J is not the type of person who is picky when he is in the ring.

If someone has agreed to fight then he must fight with all his might.

Master J nodded after seeing Santoso nod. He walked towards the gym.

Santoso stands opposite Jonathan while Master J stands between the two.

“Sincerely!” master J's Order. The two bowed in respect to each other.

“Siaaapp!!” yelled Master J began to step back, both Santoso and Jonathan immediately put up the horses.

“Start!” shouts Master J again. Jonathan immediately launched his shot towards Santoso and Santoso easily avoided it.

Not until there, Jonathan continues to direct his punch toward Santoso. But Santoso can still fend off and avoid it.

Jonathan instead of learning his opponent's weaknesses continued to attack blindly.

Several times he got a blow from Santoso but did not make himself give up.

Changes in expression occur with Santoso. Because he moved too much and did not inject the pain killer, the wound began to twitch.

Master J realizes Santoso's change in expression but does not stop the match.

Santoso began to lose his focus and Jonathan landed his kick into Santoso's stomach.

Alia looked very tense in her seat. He hopes Santoso can survive and not suffer serious injuries. He did not know Santoso was injured.

Santoso held his stomach that felt sore, but tried to stay afloat.

Priiittt, though,,

Master Theo blew the whistle the first round mark was over.

Santoso headed to his corner, some of Mr. Surya's bodyguards who were also his friends continued to give him encouragement and some direction.

After a 1-minute break, the match resumed.

Jonathan, who learns that Santoso's weakness is his stomach, keeps him eyeing Santoso's stomach.

Santoso was still able to deal with it with a cold head. Although several times hit but it is not a meaningful thing for Santoso.

Jonathan aimed his full-power kick towards Santoso's stomach, but Santoso swiftly caught it and slammed Jonathan's body.

Jonathan who was unprepared for the counterattack could only wriggle as Santoso locked his neck.

Several times Jonathan hit Santoso's stomach with his elbow but Santoso did not budge and even tightened the lock to make Jonathan limp.

Jonathan tapes out for Santoso to take off his lockdown, and it's also a sign that Jonathan has surrendered.

But the injury suffered by Santoso was also so serious, the wound was bleeding again to wet the bandages, Alia immediately ran to the gym.

“Santos? You okay?” alia asked so worriedly. He had never seen Santoso that pale.

“Nona, let us bring Santoso to the medical room, he needs treatment.” Dedi said seriously.

Alia nodded quickly.

Dedi directly carried Santoso to the 1st floor, the medical room to be exact.

Santoso still looks calm even though blood continues to pour from his wound.

Mr. Surya intervened himself to treat Santoso.

Ms. Mona is also ready to help when needed. While Taufik accompanied Mr. Andreas and the other guests, they made a small banquet at the rooftop.

“What's the problem, Pa? I hurt Santoso.” Jonathan said agitatedly.

“No, the fight was fair.” Replied Mr. Andreas half-whispering. Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it.
