NOT KEN AROK

The Buto Ijo

I began to feel the wind blowing into my body, but it was not the wind of nature but the breath of the buto ijo. I'm really scared to death because this buto ijo can see me because I don't have a magic necklace given by the late Om Dhanu. I immediately inched backwards avoiding the creature that was now pulling my collar and was about to eat me.

"Aarrrgggh!!" my screams held back the pain as the sharp nails of the buto ijo began to strangle my neck.

I immediately threw my kick buto Ijo collar so he let go of his giggling.

With two kicks I finally managed to escape also from his grip, he laughed with a booming voice making the cave vibrate as if it was going to collapse. I immediately ran out avoiding the ruins of the cave and also chasing buto ijo.

The creature chuckled more and more to see me who began to pale, now he took out his weapon, a keris that he was ready to finish me.

I screamed as loud as I wished someone would help me, and I was shocked when I shouted out a sudden beam of light from my mouth that made Buto Ijo moan and close his eyes.

When the creature began to be caught off guard I immediately took the buto ijo keris that was lying in his dedaktnya, I immediately pulled the heirloom to the back of the green creature.

**Aarrrggghh!!

The sound of buto ijo moans echoed breaking the silence of the night. Black blood flowed from his back, while I immediately fell limp after killing him. The body of the buto ijo then burns by itself and turns into a fire that gets bigger and bigger and then shrinks again and then disappears.

Thankfully, I was finally able to defeat that monstrous creature, at least my promise to Om Dhanu to save Uma from the pursuit of Buto Ijo was fulfilled.

At first glance I saw Om Dhanu coming to extend his hand and help me stand up.

"Thank you Gilang, you've fulfilled your promise!" after he finished saying those words Om Dhanu disappeared from my sight.

"Wake up!!"

I immediately opened my eyes after hearing someone touch my shoulder and woke me up.

"In the end you can also defeat the creature, I'm sure you are not just anyone, you are a person of choice and not everyone can have advantages like you. Even though you have not been filled with science or martial arts but your true strength has begun to emerge from your body to tell who you really are" said Mbak Karsono

"Don't praise Mbah too much, I'm just an ordinary person and I can beat buto ijo it's probably by chance," I replied softly

"Come here again if you've met someone who will change your life" Mbah Karsono said, puzzling me

"Who's Aki?" ask me curious

"One day you'll know who it is, too" jawan Mbah Karsono confused me

"And by then you were ready to fight Lurah Singosari!" again, it makes me even more confused

"How can I fight Ki Lurah, the martial arts I don't have?" elakku

"You can learn from Ki Janitra,"

"The old man was very stingy, even seeing his students practicing martial arts alone I should not let alone ask him to teach me silat, I could have been kicked out of his house,"

Mbah Karsono just smiled at my answer.

"You can take his heart, because he's been waiting for you for a long time, and you're his successor" Aki Karsono replied making me even more confused

"Already, don't think too much later you will be more confused. Just live everything like running water, because that destiny can not be changed or accelerated according to our wishes" he added

"Alright then I go home Aki," I said

"Hmmm, uh,"

Before returning to Aki Janitra's house which is quite far from this village, I took the time to do my male routine that I had long left. Yeah, I'm gonna do a robbery in this village.

Moreover, my money has also been thinned, quite able to buy clothes and also alms to the dhuafa.

I sat under a shady tree, where I did the market day calculation taught by Om Dhanu, so that my actions run smoothly without obstacles even though I already have a Megananda sirep study but I still calculate the market day to be safer.

Finished doing the calculations, I smiled happily because today I was able to do my actions safely.

I immediately looked for the largest and most luxurious house in this hamlet until I arrived at a house that was like a palace, really contrasted with the surrounding houses which in fact were made of gedeg (board).

"BISMILBORN RAHMANIR RAHIIM ...

INTENTIONS INGSUN MATEK AJI ..

AJIKU ...

NJOGETI THEM JUMEGOR ...

AJA TANGI YEN DURUNG ANA GENI SAKA SKY PITU ...

LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMAD RASULULLAH ...."

After reading Sirep Megananda's recitation, I immediately rushed into the house.

I went straight to the largest room in the house and took the possessions stored in his wardrobe.

Finished cooking some of the money and jewelry I immediately ran out and headed to the house of Mbok Sukiyem where Uma lived.

I immediately bang on the window of Uma's room for the girl to open it immediately.

"Who are you?" asked Uma when she opened her room window

I immediately opened the scabbard that covered my face and smiled at him.

"Mas Gilang" he said softly and I nodded while giving him a wad of money and jewelry.

"Make you," I said softly

"Mas must have robbed ya, I don't want Mas," he refused friendly

"Please accept the deck, if you don't want to just give it to your lady, she'll need to pay for your school" I replied

"But this is mostly, just save more, because maybe I will rarely come here again" I said lirih

*Tok, tock, tock!!

The sound of knocking on the door made me immediately end my conversation with Uma.

"Yaudah Mas pamit go home first, take good care of yourself, if you need anything call Mas," I said

"Yes, be careful" replied Uma

"You're talking to who Uma is!" mbok Sukiyem shouted

"Udah cepetan left before Lik Suki know you are here later you can be reported to the citizens!" he said while closing

I tried to keep Uma from closing the window first.

"What else!!" yells pissed

"What number are you?" much

"Nothing, I'll see you later!" hardiknya while forcibly closing the window of his room to hit my forehead.

"Abs!!" I screamed in pain

*Braa!!

There was a sound of the door breaking from the outside, and I knew it must be Mbok Sukiyem who broke down the door of Uma's room.

"You must be talking to that thief!!" hardik Sukiyem's

"Not really Lik" replied Uma

"Then why were you silent about not opening the door for me!" ketus

Uma was silent while Mbok Suki opened the window of the room to check on me

*Due!!!

"Janc*k!, no matter if Lik Suki opened her window, did she deliberately, because she hated gie!"

I hit the window again and this time it was harder than before. Luckily I immediately hid behind the window so that Lik Suki did not see me.

"If the Gilang comes again here I will call the villagers, let you bonyok all of you!" lik Suki's

I immediately ran away from the place after the woman closed the window of her room.
