Story of Maung Kulon

Ayu Pertiwi

After a while of running and looking for a safe place, finally Cakra Buana stopped under a kiara tree that was the size of two circles of adults. The tree itself is in the forest.

On the right side below there is a river that has a fairly swift current and full of rocks.

Cakra Buana put the woman down. While he himself rushed to find a plant that could be used as an antidote for poison. Although he was not a healer or medicine expert, but because he had lived in the forest with the late Eyang Resi Patok Pati, so little did Cakra Buana know about poison and treatment.

A while later, the all-white youth had already returned while picking up some kind of foliage. Cakra Buana then chewed the leaves until smooth.

Although it is considered rude, but because there is no other way, then he also opened a little clothing swordsman woman on the injured right shoulder earlier.

But even though it opened a little, he saw how soft the woman's skin was. So white, it is fitting that the three warriors had intended to do such a despicable deed to him, Cakra Buana thought.

His maleness instincts were tempestuous, the all-white young man tried his hardest to suppress those feelings.

Once the chewed leaves are completely smooth, Cakra Buana then attaches them to the injured shoulder. He tore off the tip of his own clothes, and tied the diaper wound.

Because his stomach was hungry again, Cakra Buana then went down to the river to find fish. The river water was completely clear so the base alone could be seen.

No need to take a long time, just a few moments later he had already obtained some large tilapia fish. He hastily collected firewood and roasted the fish he caught.

A cup of tea later, the fish he had burned had already matured. The fragrant smell immediately spread in the cold wind.

Along with that, the female swordsman was also aware. How shocked he was when he woke up there was a man in front of him. Even more shocked when he saw that his clothes were opened.

"Fickle parlance .. ***** you …"

The female swordsman suddenly took out her sword that was on the sidelines and then simultaneously attacked Cakra Buana.

Fortunately, the young man in white already knew this. So that when the sword almost hit his back, Cakra Buana immediately jumped through the embers of the former roasting fish.

"Calm down first. I'm not doing anything, I'm just helping you" Cakra Buana said, calming the woman down.

But it looks like the woman has been overcome with prejudice. So that he did not heed the words of Cakra Buana.

"Where is anyone willing to confess .." he said as he again prepared to attack.

He pulled his sword back. Once it jumps, the sword will hit the young man in front of it. But before he moved to attack, suddenly his right shoulder was pulled so that the woman felt extreme pain.

The sword gripped tightly on the left hand instantly slipped apart. He himself immediately limp and rested on both knees.

"Quiet nyai. I didn't mean to be evil, really. You were poisoned, I took off your shirt a little bit just on the wound. It's just to treat your wounds, sorry if I'm not polite. Because there's no way I'll wake you up who's injured" Cakra Buana said as she approached the female swordsman and helped him wake up.

The woman did not answer. He sat down under the Kiara tree. His left hand touched the injured right shoulder.

Then he seemed to remember what had happened to him.

"No problem. No, I just happened to hear the fight. Out of curiosity, then I went to the voice and saw nyai who was fighting fiercely," said Cakra Buana.

"Then ... Where are the three?"

"They died. Take it easy" said Cakra Buana.

For a moment the woman was daydreaming. It seemed like he was still trying to endure the pain that started to whack his body.

"Celaka .." he said. Suddenly his face panicked.

"Cathetical? Wretched what?" asked Cakra Buana who became confused to see the woman.

"Calm yourself first. It's safe here, nobody. I'm Cakra Buana. If you've calmed down, explain what you meant just now, like that,"

"Ah .. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Introduce, I am Ayu Pertiwi. Thank you for helping me Cakra. What I mean by wretch is about the deaths of those three demon humans. If they are really dead, then the problem will be more complicated," said the woman who turned out to be named Ayu Pertiwi.

"Who is he? If you don't mind, tell me. Perhaps I can help you" said Cakra Buana.

"They were students of Padepokan Biruang Kidul (South Bear). Student of Butcher Patenggang the King Biruang,"

"Try to explain in more detail, I don't understand. Why are you fighting them?" cakra Buana asked increasingly confused.

"At first I pretended to be a student at Padepokan Biruang Kidul, I was ordered by my teacher to take an heirloom scarf belonging to the teacher that had been stolen by Butcher Patenggang the King Biruang. I studied there for almost a year, and a while ago, since I knew where he kept my teacher's shawl, I intended to take it. The scarf I got, but I was also caught so chased by his errand boy wherever I went. Until it happened like you saw this. And that means, if the three beloved disciples of Jagal Patenggan are killed, then he will look for me to demand revenge," Ayu Pertiwi explained.

"How can you be sure that the teacher of the three warriors will know of his death?"

"Certainly, of course, because I know that they already have a strong inner bond. Whatever happens between them, you will know. That's why I'm worried, while her abilities are far above mine. Maybe equivalent to my teacher or maybe even more. But my journey is still quite far from here" Ayu Pertiwi said anxiously.

"Then you come with me. Where'd you go?"

"To the forest Ci Danghiyang, Bantam (Banten),"

"good. We're one way, if you want, let's continue the journey with me. But I have to finish my business here first" said Cakra Buana.

Ayu Pertiwi was confused. However, he did not know exactly who this young man before him was.

"That's if you want. If not, it's okay. But I swear, I am not a class with the students of Butcher Patenggan," said Cakra Buana reassured.

For a moment the woman thought back. "Well-well. Thank you" he said a little hesitantly.

"Oh, let's talk about it later. Now we eat first. The grilled fish is ripe," said Cakra Buana invite Ayu Pertiwi to eat.

The woman did not answer. He just nodded as a sign of agreement.
