Sanggana Swordsman

8. The Soul Grasps

Joko immediately turned her gaze towards the bamboo hut.

In the doorway of the hut stood an old man over 80 years old, but his physical appearance was still fit for the size of an elderly person. He was dressed in simple blue. His pure white face was overgrown by a neat white beard. Her white hair was curled over her head and tied with a yellow ribbon.

“Please help me face this boy!” exclaim Beggar Maling who was called his real name “Kalugar”.

“I can't believe if you can't face a young man like that,” said the old man whose name was called, namely Ranggasewa.

“Old Kisanak, I don't want to make trouble with you guys, please hand over that keris!” said Joko who can still hold back patience since then.

“Ranggasewa, I do not understand, why is your heirloom until it can be in the hands of the young man?” ask Beggar Maling while accusing Joko.

“Meet me just this time, how could my weapon possibly be in his hands? Maybe it's someone else's weapon you mean,” replied Ranggasewa.

“Is this kris not yours?” ask the Beggar Maling while showing the little kris he stole from Joko.

Seeing that thing, Ranggasewa became surprised. His body quickly flashed flying and landed in front of the Mutant Beggars.

“Did this krisku you get from that young man?” asked Ranggasewa who made sure that the thing was really his.

“I stole it because I was suspicious, because this kris is behind his clothes,” said Beggar Maling.

Ranggasewa then turned to face Joko. Keris is in his hands.

“Who exactly are you, Young Man?” tanya Ranggasewa.

“It is precisely I who should ask, Old Man. Who are you that you claim to be the owner of the heirloom?” joko Reply.

“The owner will not forget his own possessions. I'm the owner of this Sakti Serap Heritage. I'm Ranggasewa, Demon Handheld Soul,” replied Ranggasewa.

“So Grandpa named Demon Handheld Soul?” re-question Joko, want to make sure.

“True.”

“If you are indeed a Handheld Demon Soul, surely you know who sent me,” said Joko intended to test the truth of the confession of the old man in front of him.

“Hahaha!” laughter slowly Ranggasewa. “It is precisely I who do not believe if you are his student Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari.”

“You are indeed Satan Gangga Psyche, my teacher's friend and teacher Mega Kencani,” said Joko relieved.

“Mega Kecani is no longer my student, she is an apostate student who does not deserve forgiveness!” ranggasewa said with a slightly elevated tone, a piece of emotion appeared on him. However, then he switched his focus to Joko. “I'm very grateful for your willingness to deliver this heirloom. To be more comfortable, let's talk in my hut only.”

“Hehehe!” beggar Maling's chuckle, because he can breathe a sigh of relief with the final story created.

“Where is Ginari, Kalugar?” ask Ranggasewa by mentioning the real name of Beggar Maling.

“In an attempt to catch the demon disciple,” jawan Pemememis Maling while following Ranggasewa walked to the bamboo hut.

Joko followed behind.

Enchanted to the hut, the Mutant Beggar immediately threw himself down on the narrow terrace.

“Come in, sit anywhere that makes you comfortable. I made you a drink first,” Ranggasewa told Joko.

“Not bother, Ki,” says Joko.

“Repot only, I'm so thirsty being chased by you, boy!” chirps Beggar Maling.

Ranggasewa moved into the back of the hut. Joko chose to sit in the front room, not far from the door.

“Hey, Boy!” call the Beggar Maling from the outside. He could still look at Joko. “What's your name?”

“Joko Quiet.”

“I find it hard to believe that you're a student of that magic figure. As far as I know, he was never willing to take a disciple,” said Beggar Maling.

“However, the reality is so, Cake,” said Joko.

“I admitted defeat. Just this time I'm facing a young swordsman as tight as you. You know, why I'm called the Beggar Maling? That's because I could never be arrested. And yet you today, really overwhelmed me to run. A warrior as great as you should hold a great title. Or, do you already have a martial arts world title?”

“I never thought of that, Kek,” replied Joko.

“Sometimes the nickname sticks by itself from the mention of other martial world people,” said Ranggasewa who came out carrying two bamboo drinks.

One glass he placed in front of Joko and the other he put near the door for the Beggar Maling.

“This is already inside the house, why are you still wearing your caping?” ask Ranggasewa.

Joko took off her big caping and placed it on the floor. Then the handsome face of Joko.

“Wuaah! It turns out you're very handsome, Joko!” praise Beggar Maling while getting up immediately from the fall. He grabbed a glass for her and immediately drank it without surgery.

“How is your teacher, Joko?” ask Ranggasewa.

“Up to the last time I left, it was healthy.”

“You are trusted by Ki Ageng to bring the Sakti Absorbent Heritage to me, but it is very dangerous if until the weapon falls into the hands of the wrong person. Surely your teacher is very confident in your devotion to make changes in the martial world scene,” said Ranggasewa.

“Teacher did assign me to participate in upholding the truth in this world, Ki.”

“You do have signs to be the number one swordsman. However, you need to be aware, so much deceit and cunning that many abort people of good will like you.”

“Can I ask about Mega Dating, Ki?” ask Joko.

“So it would be wrong if I had helped him. He had asked the keris to be delivered directly to you, Ki.”

“You were wrong to help him. It will be a disaster if the heirloom is in his hands,” said Ranggasewa.

“Is the black masked woman also Ki Ranggasewa's student?” ask Joko.

“True, his name is Ginari. He was nicknamed the Sky Rat Swordsman,” replied Ranggasewa.

“It seems that Joko is interested in Ginari, Ranggasewa. Let's match him with Ginari. I am very sure Ginari will not refuse, especially if he has seen the handsome face of Joko,” said Beggar Maling.

“You think it's that easy?” hardik Ranggasewa's.

“There comes, Ki,” said Joko while quickly reusing her caping.

It made them look outside.

A young man and a girl approached the hut.

“That's Kembang Buangi,” said Ranggasewa who already knew the beautiful girl, but he did not know the young man who was Hujabayat.

Joko himself had previously had time to deal with both on that day.

“Looks like you don't want to be recognized, Joko,” said Ranggasewa before his two guests arrived in front of the hut.

“I had a chance to play with them this morning, Ki,” kilah Joko.

“Go in, Exhaust Developer!” ranggasewa to his two guests.

“Thank you, Ki,” said Kembang Buangi while smiling, making her beautiful dimples look. He immediately took a seat near Joko.

Before the disaster happened for him, Joko suddenly disappeared from her seat, making them all surprised.

“Sorry, Ki! I have to go!” exclaimed Joko who knew already standing in front of the hut. Then he disappeared somewhere.

“Hihihi!”

Kembang Buangi let go of his laughter seeing the sudden departure of Joko along with his arrival with Hujabayat. Hijabayat laughed a little. Ranggasewa and Beggar Maling did not laugh, only astonished by the situation created.

“What's with him so when you guys come he goes?” ask Ranggasewa.

“Gimba is afraid because I am sitting nearby,” replied Kembang Buangi.

“Gimba? But his name is Joko Calm,” said Ranggasewa.

“She was named Gimba, Ki,” said Kembang Buangi.

“Means he has lied to us, he claimed to be named Joko Calm!” the Beggar Maling.

“Sorry, Ki. I think his name is probably Joko Calm. It felt impossible if he dared to lie to the elders. It is precisely we who he lied to,” said Hujabayat manners.

“Who are you, Young Man?” ask Ranggasewa.

“My name is Hojabayat, Ki. I am a student of Nyi Lampingiwa,” replied Hujabayat.

“Ooh, how is your teacher?” ask Ranggasewa again.

“Health, Ki.”

“You have not answered about Joko earlier,” said Ranggasewa.

“He's afraid of being close to women, Ki. When we met, he always stayed away when I approached,” explained Kembang Buangi.

“Fear of being close to women?” asked the Mutant Beggar, as if in disbelief. “How can be betrothed to Ginari if adjacent to women alone can not.”

“Then, what can I help you with?” ask Ranggasewa.

“At this time I'm looking for who my real parents are, Ki. Because, I once met a great old man who knew a lot about oneself and one's past ..”

“You mean Versatile Angel Know?” terka Beggar Maling.

“Perhaps, because Joko this morning also mentioned the name,” said Kembang Buangi. “The old man said, the guy named Bugujula knows a lot about who my parents are. I've asked my teacher and Nyi Lampingiwa, but they don't know about a man named Bugujula. Maybe Ki Ranggasewa knows about that guy.”

“Oh, so it is,” said Ranggasewa mangosteen. “Bugujula is the minor name of Demang Rubagaya. I still remember when his father was frantically looking for his son who suddenly disappeared. Bugujula's name is always called calling his son in the forest area. Bugujula is now called Demang Rubagaya.”

“So, all this time Demang knows a lot about who my parents are,” said Kembang Buangi who had become the adopted child of Demang Rubagaya.

“Hehehe!” kekeh Beggar Maling suddenly.

“What's up, Ki?” ask the Exhaust Flower to the Beggar Maling.

“Do you still keep the blue bracelet on your feet that has been around since you were a baby?” ask the Beggar Maling.

“No, I threw it away a long time ago, because it was narrow,” replied the girl.

“I've seen Demang Rubagaya kill a woman who wears the same bracelet you have,” Beggar Maling said.

“Is that my mother he killed?” tanya Kembang Buangi with a face showing flames of anger.

“Can be yes and also can not. Obviously you have to go back to Demang Rubagaya to ask directly about it,” said Ranggasewa. “Don't let him die before you get a statement from him. Because, I have assigned the Sky Rat Swordsman to kill him.” (BH)
