Story of Mystery 2

Hunting The Kidnapper

Orange color spray appears from the west, soon before evening. Joko Sembodo's steps are accelerated, he does not want to stay overnight on the road. The swathes of rice fields that stretch to the left right indicate there is a settlement in the area.

Not long according to his expectations, he began to see houses from a distance, for a while he justified the position of the blangkon he was wearing, to the edge of the dust attached to his clothes, he was forced to put on his clothes, do not want him to be considered deflated by the residents if his clothes look dirty, maybe not later he is allowed to stay overnight.

One or two houses began to pass. Weirdo? Still sesore is not found by residents who pass by, the doors of the house seem closed.

Joko continued his steps, at one crossroad he saw a substation, some people who were originally sitting in the substation stood up.

As soon as the young man got close, one of them let out a voice. "Stop the kids."

Joko stopped her steps, she bowed in respect. "Greetings to parents."

That said earlier was a middle-aged man, curly hair, thin-bodied, and black-skinned. The man replied to the young man's respect.

"Where are you going and where is this young man?" Ask the parents.

"I'm Joko tuan, an homeless traveler, previously from a trip in the north, and thankfully today arrived at this beautiful lord's village," Joko explained politely.

The old man nodded, he looked at his partner. There were two other men accompanying the curly-haired old man. One was a little patchy, with a thick mustache, a machete hanging from his waist, another a young man wearing a blue, well-built headband, a machete on his side.

They are familiar with the views of his friends who ask for consideration, then the fat man said. "It seems this young man is Ki Warso's good man."

"I think so is Tambur." Then the man called Ki Warso turned his gaze back to Joko. "Will Joko find a place to spend the night?" Ask the young man.

"True, can Ki Warso tell you where I can rent a place to stay?"

"In this village where there are all lodging, if Nak Joko does intend to stay, there is one empty room in my house, although the place is simple, but safer than staying outside," Ki Warso apparently already views Joko as a good young man, so he did not hesitate to offer his own house to spend the night the young man.

"Waduh Ki, isn't it a hassle? I really can not refuse if Aki really offers that," welcomed the young man.

It is indeed for Joko a good luck to get a place to stay, because for several days he slept in the open.

"Don't bother the young man" said the old man. He turned to the young man wearing a blue headband, "Galih, you take Joko home first, after that immediately return here," he ordered.

Apparently the young man was Ki Warso's son. Galih's second child, her sister's sister, and a boy's third child, was only seven years old. That's what Galih said when he drove Joko to his house.

"Have the houses been closed in the morning?" Joko asks Galih who she thinks is younger.

"It's been almost two months Kangmas" replied Galih.

"Including the guard at the substation?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Is there a threat? Thief, robber or something?" Joko was indeed curious about the state of the village.

"More dangerous than that Kangmas," Joko flinched at hearing him. What danger is it?

Then while continuing to step into the residence of Ki Warso, his son told Joko the events that occurred in his village.

***

Wonosari was calm, the people lived peacefully in their daily lives, their average livelihood from farming. Arable land makes people always get abundant crops.

But one terrible event happened. Kidnaping. Well, the kidnapping was followed by the murder.

At first a citizen was known to be disgraced. And when it was searched in crowds, after it was found it turned out to be a corpse. Wearing condition. His body was like being torn apart, his body parts were no longer intact like they were finished in the gnaw of a wild beast. Only the head is intact, as if the killer is not tasteful with that part of the body.

While residents are still grieving the loss of their acquaintances in horrific ways, it has been a week since the same incident occurred. Kidnapping and murder and with similar conditions for his victims.

Sadness becomes fear, and fear becomes wrath, especially after falling the third victim.

Barbarically! Absolutely savage! Rutuk Galih on the sidelines of his story.

And that's what makes residents close the door and do not dare to wander at night, because the kidnapping event always occurs at night.

***

"Have the victims fallen to Adi?" Ask Joko after Ki Warso's son finished telling her story.

"Up to now there are nine citizens who are victims of Kangmas, although it has been routinely guarded, we still concede."

"Didn't anyone ever see the culprit?" Joko Cecar.

"Ever before Kakang, once a resident saw a body jumping from one tree to another like an ape, but the big body was very agile, very agile, we believe that such creatures are capable of kidnapping quickly without being discovered and committing heinous acts" Galih said.

Actually there are still some things that Joko wants to ask, but they have arrived at their destination. As Galih called out, from the inside opened the door of a middle-aged woman with a friendly smile. Galih invited in, he briefly sat in the living room, conveying the matter of Joko to the middle-aged woman who was the mother of Galih.

Nyi Laksmi Galih's mother doesn't mind Joko staying over at their house. "It just so happens that we become less anxious" he said in response to Joko's presence.

Before long Galih said he wanted to go back to the guard station. "Be careful son," Nyi Laksmi's message.

After the departure of Galih, Joko was invited to the room where he would rest. A small room but clean and neat.

Joko thanked Nyi Laksmi. When the middle-aged woman had turned around to leave Joko alone, the young man closed the door, he changed clothes, it felt uncomfortable clothes that he was wearing all day.

Then he went out of the room, his intention was to wash his face and feet, for some reason, even though he walked all day feeling tired and sleepy no longer felt, maybe because of interesting events that were happening in the village. Something tickled his short-sighted soul. His intention was already unanimous when he heard the story of Galih earlier. He had to help solve the mysterious events that exist.

Out of the room to the back room, he was surprised to see a beautiful and beautiful girl was putting rice and side dishes on the table.

"Oh, I'm sorry brother, I asked permission to wash my face in the back" he said.

The girl smiled, such a sweet smile. Joko's chest is shaking. So long he wandered, entered the village out of the village, dozens and even dozens of girls he met he had never felt such a thing. The girl in front of him seemed to have a special attraction for the young man.

"Please Kakang" said the girl.

What he had just wanted to wash his face and feet, so seeing the beautiful girl made Joko feel embarrassed when it looked dirty, for it even though the night and the cold air, and so on, then he grabbed a dipper to take a shower.

Finish cleaning, back it in. In the dining room, Ki Laksmi and her daughter were waiting. The smile of the hostess expands to see the presence of the young man. "Let's nak Joko, all day on the way of course Ananda tired and hungry, for that I ask Ratna to prepare just to dine at the rate, hopefully not too disappointing taste Ananda," he invited the young man to sit on the prepared bench.

The warm service of the host even makes Joko become clumsy, he nods in his condolences. "I'm really troubling Ki Warso and Nyi Laksmi" he said.

"Where there is so, come on eat the dish, run out it let's just rest Joko son."

Joko put her ass on the chair, staring at the food in front of her stomach whimpering, it must be admitted from noon this stomach has not been filled. And now in front of the complete cuisine of the side dishes and vegetables ready to eat, he thought it was no longer appropriate to doubt the kindness of the host.

As soon as Joko faces her dish, Nyi Laksmi pulls the hand of her daughter Ratna leaving the room, so that Joko does not feel ashamed to enjoy her meal.

After eating, Joko intends to bring a plate and glass that he uses to wash.

"Don't master, let me clean up," one melodious voice prevented.

Ratna is self-proclaimed. Joko's chest trembled again staring at the girl. "Sister, let me wash for a while, you've been too bothered tonight."

The girl did not care what the young man said, took the plate and the glass in Joko's hand, and went to the back to wash.

The young man just stood there quietly, not knowing what he was going to say and do, just stood watching at the kitchen door, as the girl cleaned the dishes and glasses near the well.

The moon adorned the sky, the light was enough to help the eyes see that night, let alone a lampstand placed near the bathroom outside it helped Ratna quickly finished with her work.

As soon as the girl came back in, a line came out of the young man's mouth, "You're so deft Ratna."

Ratna smiled. Oh, it's a pretty cheap smile anyway. Whose heart would not be enamored with this kind of girl?

Late at night, Joko was in her own room, sitting on a chair while contemplating. Previously, he had planned to return to the substation to accompany Ki Warso and his friends on guard after hearing the story of Galih, but after meeting Ratna, he felt heavy to move from home. Worried about leaving the girl.

Nah!

Joko's forehead shriveled, her daydreams caved. The voice he had just heard came from outside. His memory immediately turned to the mysterious kidnapper. Did the creature patronize this house? His hearing.

The soft and gentle movements were caught by his ears. Originally from the top of the tile, his instincts said there was a menacing danger.

Patiently, Joko waited and kept her ears. Srreet.. Now he heard like a loud voice that shifted slowly. He was sure of the room in the back. Joko got up from her seat, at the window of the room. Whatever has tried to enter the house will obviously come out later, therefore it is decided to wait outside.

Without the sound of the young man outside, he watched over the top of Ki Warso's house.

The wait did not take long, a large body flicked from the inside out, stepping on the precarious roof lightly. The creature stood slightly bent. He had a slender body. Ratna! Shouted Joko inwardly recognizing.

Not to mention that the young man did anything. The kidnapper had jumped, seemingly unaware of the young man's presence. His jump was so light towards the tree trunk.

Don't want to lose the creature that brought the woman who had drawn her heart. Joko flashed in pursuit.

Although by carrying, the movement of the creature is so agile, if not the young man who has the knowledge to relieve a high body, certainly will not be able to follow the pace of the creature's departure.

Do not want to happen terrible things to Ratna, the young man empos his strength, his body quickly approached towards the creature who was about to reach the outskirts of the forest. Afraid to go into the woods and he'll lose track of the kidnapper. Joko let out a thunderous scream.

"Stop cowardice!"

Either understand Joko's words or be surprised because someone follows. The creature stopped his movement, he turned the body.

Joko who hunted was surprised by the form of the creature. Able to stand like a human, but having a thick body, his mouth grinned showing pointed teeth.

The young man did not stop his running pace that had been close, he immediately lunged with a lightning strike towards the chest of the kidnapper.

The arggrr!

Sounding from the mouth of the creature, he easily dodged Joko's attack. Once able to dodge, the creature threw the body of its victim just to the ground. Joko cursed to see what the makhlu did to Ratna.

Furious he repeated the attack on the kidnapper. Great, with the agile movement all Joko's directed attacks none hit the target, and even..

Bukk!

A kick turned suddenly on the young man's stomach. Joko grimaced in pain, fortunately the kick he received did not contain any inner energy. If accompanied by deep energy, of course the young man will not be able to rise.

Joko returned to alert, he was now more careful, it seems that the movement of the creature is not a silat movement, but the natural movements of an animal, he said, therefore it was difficult for him to estimate the possibility of counterattack motion in the opponent, because it is instinctive to save himself and attack the enemy.

A creature that resembles a great ape stands half bent and always swaying, his mouth grinning many times, it seems he feels Joko is a challenge that deserves to be resolved, because the creature is ready with a position to fight.

The young man hesitated to take a look at the body of the creature that was always swaying, afraid that it would suffer as before due to the unexpected attack, but after waiting for some time no action from the creature, decided to pursue the attack.

Joko's leg snatched towards the head with a circular kick. The creature quickly slumped. One blow exploded following the failure of the leg kick, threatening the face of wild creatures, even this was easily dodged by jumping like a back.

Eits! Joko retreated avoiding the foot that almost touched her chin. And amazingly, like a spring, once two palms hit the ground into a pedestal to stomp forward, attacking with two wide soles of feet into the young man's chest.

The lightning attack made Joko nervous. He held out two arms to protect his chest.

Duaakk!

The young man could not help but be slammed because of such a strong impulse. As soon as his body threw the ground, the creature jumped pouncing, bare nails sticking out of the fingers of the creature, as if it was the ultimate motion to finish the life of the young man.

But alas, the creature's opponent is Joko, a young man who has been poor for years in the green world, although feeling sick, not enough to make the young man run away, he said, his body rolled to see the danger threatening, with a motion hard to follow the eyes, his hands pulled something from his waist and whipped in the blow to the front.

Srrreate!

That was the young man's flagship weapon, a golden whip with a bird's beak. The King Garuda Whip. A powerful and tenacious whip is extraordinary, especially when it is overlaid with deep exertion, who is entangled will be paralyzed.

That is what experienced by the enemy beast Joko, the speed of the powerless whip in his avoidance, the whip of the bullet wrapped around his neck, he thrashed trying to free the winding with both hands. Joko pulls the whip tightly, the creature's body pulled towards the young man. So close, a kick floated Joko.

The buaggh!

Akhr!

A groan accompanied by blood flowed from the mouth of the creature. Joko loosened the whip did not want him carried away the direction of the body of the creature.

With a loud bang the creature's huge body slammed on the ground. The young man hunting to resist the attack, but undone, he saw the creature's neck turn blue, apparently the jiratan and kick had severed the neck bone and ended his life.

After knowing his opponent was lifeless then he remembered Ratna, darted quickly to where the girl was lying.

He found the girl's body still motionless, so anxious the young man. He touched the girl's veins. Still throbbing. Mercifully. He bopong Ratna's body. Then I stepped back to the village.

So happy the residents know Joko managed to kill the kidnapper who had been terrorizing their village. Especially Ki Warso family, who thank you very much because the young man managed to bring their daughter home safely.

Joko herself was happy to see the girl who had tied her heart healthy without lacking anything. Actually wanted him to continue the adventure once he finished his business, but fate said otherwise, Ki Warso asked him to stay in the village for a few days. And in honor of the old man who had been very good to him, he did not dare to refuse.

Who would have thought Ki Warso had his own plans with him, because at the right time he expected himself to stay and be part of the village, with the deignity of editing his daughter.

Although surprised, where maybe the young man wasted a dream that came true, especially after knowing if Ratnapun admitted to like it from the beginning they met. The man was polite, gallant, and kind, said the girl praising him.

The marriage between himself and the idol of the heart was held with great excitement, the whole community was happy, because it was at once celebrating the end of the threat of the kidnapper who had been troubling.

So-called.
