Night Eagle Swordsman

Staying In Kademangan III

The day continues to pass. Den Roro has recovered from his illness.

Today Den Roro continues to whine at his mother, Ndoro Ageng to be allowed out of the big house to see a little boy who said his son Nyi Traju, the person who took care of him during his illness.

Den Roro became very curious because during his illness, several times Nyi Traju told him about his son named Puguh. Den Roro was very curious because all this time there was only Den Bagus his nine-year-old brother who became his playmate and no other small children. That's just sometimes, because as a boy, Den Bagus had to do a lot of exercises that were for boys.

Most of his time, Den Bagus spent practicing kanuragan, practicing horseback riding, practicing archery, practicing literature and there were still many things he had to start practicing.

It caused Den Roro rarely play together with his brother, so Den Roro became lonely and bored just playing with his nanny.

Den Roro is now seven years old. Only half a year with Puguh. The age that begins to want to know everything. I want to know the outside world. As well as Den Roro who continues to ask Ndoro Ageng to be allowed to find friends.

Finally, because of his constant whining, Ndoro Ageng allowed him to play with Nyi Traju's son who he said was named Puguh.

Soon Den Roro finds Nyi Traju and asks Nyi Traju to bring her son to the mansion so that he has a playmate.

"Tomorrow morning Den Roro," said Nyi Traju, "Wayah waah like this usually Puguh has been invited by Ki Poyo."

"No ! I want to see it now !" den Roro said desperately as he stepped out of the mansion towards the side courtyard where the soldiers were training. Nyi Traju followed him from behind.

It just so happened that Ki Poyo had not yet scheduled his horse and carriage baths, so Ki Poyo and Puguh were on the edge of the side field where the soldiers were training.

Puguh was busy helping Ki Poyo prepare supplies for the soldiers who were training.

Simultaneously, Den Roro arrived at the edge of the side field. He saw that there were two people who were busy waiting, carrying the supply place by putting it on his head.

"Is that Mbok Traju's little boy ?" den Roro said in his heart, "The body is thin."

Then Den Roro without hesitation, approached towards Puguh.

"Your name is Puguh ?" tanya Den Roro arrived.

Puguh who was somewhat objected to his luggage, was surprised to hear someone mention his name. Because of his surprise until Puguh was impolite towards Den Roro.

"Yes, my name is Puguh" said Puguh.

"Ssttt ... le, the same courtesy as Den Roro," said Ki Poyo.

Den Roro seemed to ignore Ki Poyo's words. His heart was too happy there would be a playmate.

"Come with me," Den Roro asked by waving his right hand towards Puguh.

Puguh can only follow where Den Roro goes. While Ki Poyo could only look at the backs of those who walked away leaving them while shaking his head.

Arriving at the big house, Den Roro stopped and his body turned to face the puguh.

"You're Puguh, aren't you, Mbok Traju's son ?" den Roro said, "Call me Den Roro. You accompany me to play here."

Puguh could only nod and reply, "Excellent."

Finally Puguh accompanied Den Roro to play until the afternoon. All the games that Den Roro wants, tried, although often Puguh does not understand how the game.

----- ○ -----

His body looks more sturdy, although still a little thin. That's because every day Puguh lived his day with activities that involuntarily shaped his body to be stronger than ordinary children his age.

Even though he was still seven years old, but his strength and speed were not inferior to a ten year old.

Every night Puguh repeated the way he tried to breathe. He even did the breathing with various positions. Sometimes with the head down and the feet up with the body propped up on the walls of the room. Sometimes by hanging with both feet on a wooden crossbar near his bed. Sometimes when invited by Ki Poyo to bathe horses and chariots into the river, he played diving and held his breath for as long as possible at the bottom of the river.

When accompanying play Den Roro, Puguh often saw the soldiers practicing with certain movement movements and with various types of weapons.

While in his room, Puguh often tried the movements he had seen. In fact, behind a bush near the river, Puguh kept some of the wood he had made to resemble the weapons he had seen. In the bush, Puguh stored the wood he made to resemble spear weapons, sword weapons, machete weapons.

Moreover, Ki Poyo who is very dear to Puguh, often helps make it and let Puguh as he pleases and as much as do and imitate the movements of the soldiers he saw, while in the waterside area, without ever forbidding it.

So that without anyone else knowing it, Puguh, a seven-year-old child, has a strong body, agile and agile and can already play technical techniques using several weapons.

One day when it was early morning, Puguh invited Ki Poyo to where Ki Poyo lived, in a row of stables behind the Kademangan building complex. This Ki Poyo did so as not to first Den Roro invite Puguh to play.

Because Ki Poyo wants to take Puguh to the river to bathe horses and chariots.

Puguh deftly helped Ki Poyo install horses on the car and prepare other necessities.

After the two of them took supplies in the kitchen to be delivered to the soldiers in several places, they both immediately headed upstream river which was quite far behind the complex of Kademangan building.

Arriving at the river, as usual they bathed the horse and his chariot. After finishing his work, Puguh played in the river, on the river bank as much as possible.

By noon, they had not yet returned home. Ki Poyo deliberately invited Puguh to sit on the rocks beside the river.

"He's getting older, it's time I told him about his father" Ki Poyo said in his heart.

"Ngger Puguh, did your symbol ever tell you about your father ?" ask Ki Poyo while inviting Puguh to come closer.

Puguh looked at Kk Poyo sharply. Then his head moved.

"Here, sir tell me about your father" Ki Poyo said.

Then Ki Poyo told me.

Husband Nyi Traju or his father Puguh whose full name is Trajutomo, was once a mainstay soldier of Kademangan Pandan Ireng.

By Ki Demang Pandan Ireng, Ki Trajutomo is very trusted and always told to escort him wherever Ki Demang Pandan Ireng went outside Kademangan.

In addition to being honest, brave and loyal, Ki Trajutomo has a silat level with the leader of the Kademangan soldiers.
