Swordsman Behind the Scenes

CHAPTER X - HIDDEN PARADISE

The first thing Waseso felt was that his body was swinging forward, back, left, right randomly. Both of his ears were blown by the wind. For a moment he gathered his last memory, as he was mocked by three young boys who were practicing silat. They had previously shown a small sword they had tucked in each other's waists and threatened to gang up and read off two little boys bathing with him, even saying they would arrest and torture Kinda. Threats were void and they even promised to give him money. The condition is that Waseso must be able to survive ten counts, while inserting his anu into the small bag they carry. Because he felt he had no other choice, and at that time he was also bathing naked while his anus was also not doing anything, Waseso agreed. Let alone the ten counts, just positioned the anus at the mouth of the bag that had just been opened and the count had not started, he felt the tip of the anus like being struck by lightning three times. While his three savage friends laughed happily. In his pain he immediately threw away the pouch, but the five to six occupants in it immediately came out and attacked his stomach and chest. When he saw the boy on the ground, of course, his three friends immediately ran away in fear. After that Waseso did not remember what happened. Surprisingly, now he did not feel the tremendous pain that seemed to burn anu and his stomach and chest. As the boy felt a jolt and made his body swing back, he immediately opened his eyes slowly. But it became wide open to see his body was battered by the net and when looking down it turns out the earth's footing is located quite far down there, soon he realized he was moving or rather being led down a path on a large tree branch. When his head looked up and was guessing the color of hairy white, there is also a shape like the lower chin with the right and left a lot of hair sticking out shaped like a cat's mustache but much more buesar and puanjang, then Waseso fainted the second time.

Waseso muttered as his face felt doused in water and the rumbling sound on his lower right was like the sound of water spilling. Demi looked down and realized that he was being carried across a large river by jumping from one stone to another, while on the edge of the lower right lip it was a waterfall, again Waseso fell unconscious for the third time.

Feeling one hand that he moved slightly rubbed with soft sand, followed by the right hand also felt the same thing, then the back, all his legs also felt the same way. Eventually all of his consciousness gradually recovered and realized that he was currently lying completely naked in the sand. He did not feel well in the chest, stomach or, immediately he felt the intended and indeed no longer felt pain. He only felt something strange with his size was still swollen and felt something different with the shape of the tip that was now like not wrapped in outer skin anymore, but finally he did not care because the most important thing for him was that the part was no longer feeling pain. His ears hear the incense like either the sound of water or either the sound of the wind. His nose smelled the freshness of a strangely soothing air that he had never breathed at all. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw a high stone ceiling up there which in certain parts looked pointed down. His head he lifted, and again he saw in front of him a distance of three steps was a stone wall. He tilted his head to the left and also looked at the six-step stone wall, but at the top there is like a natural hole extending left right about twice the length of his body and soon he knew it was morning, because it sees very clearly the bias of sunlight that penetrates in. When he looked to the right it was still with the same shape, but the distance of this wall was further that is about twelve steps where the left edge is there, he said, there is a hole as wide as six steps and the height is the same as the ceiling, of course it can be concluded that there is the location of the entrance or exit of this room. Waseso tried to get up and sit down. After a while she turned her buttocks in the same spot to see the only side she had not seen. Now he saw as far as eight steps there was like a plateau higher than where it is now so that in his position he could not see the floor because from the front of him began to look one step contour of the ground began to rise rose and not covered by soft sand in golden white, the same color as the stone walls in this spacious room. When his head turned to the left, his chest pounded, his blood flow seemed to flow faster, his throat immediately felt dry and his lips also felt pale. How not, it appears in the corner there, his eyes saw a creature that he thought exactly resembles a cat who is in the position all his lower body touches the floor, he said, his front two legs stretched forward and his head and eyes stared outwards. His body was as big as a horse and still did not move a bit. Only the long tail, occasionally wagging as if to show that he was not a statue. His entire body was covered in thick fur white like snow. It was only this first time that Waseso met directly with a cat that was so big, understand his ears had never heard the name of a tiger in the slightest. When the big cat's head turned towards him, suddenly made the boy's body tremble and without getting up one bit, where his butt still stuck to the ground he moved backwards until his back hit the wall behind him. When the cat looked out again, Waseso calmed down a bit. When the cat looked at himself again, the boy became tense motionless. So continuous it repeated for a very long time, until the bias of the sun now turn into the cave through the gap of the wall above the big cat, indicating that time has moved to the afternoon. Waseso silently stared at the upright but flat wall next to the big cat, there are such streaks of white color as well as images are also white color which from its place now is not so clear what writing and images. Suddenly the big cat stood up, causing Waseso to step against the wall behind him, as if the boy was about to drown him. Slowly the big cat stepped outwards, but not yet ten steps, he stood still while staring at the boy for a long time. As Waseso remained silent, the cat let out a sizzling sound but his eyes still stared at Waseso and the hiss that had come out now turned into a long snoring-like sound; but it remained soft;

"inrrrrrrr....."

Kontan alone made the boy wake up from his seat. And strangely the snoring stopped and the cat stepped up, but stopped again while looking at the boy and again let out a snoring, but this time the tip of his left foot moved like scratching and his head turned to the door and then looked back again at the boy and turned to the door again. His snoring voice was now a little louder;

"hrrrrrrrr, uh,....."

At that time Waseso also had a hunch that the big cat was inviting him to communicate, especially the two eyes of the big cat highlighted gently not to encourage anger. Finally Waseso tried to move one leg, then the next leg and, the cat again walked slowly out without continuing his snoring voice, while the boy also walked behind him a bit far to keep his distance. While still walking, the big cat looked back and snoring again released. Now Waseso began to dare to step a little quickly and sure enough in front to stop the sound of his snoring. When he arrived outside, the big cat turned to the right and continued to step straight, while Waseso immediately stared at the scene outside the cave. In front of him is now spread so beautifully from left to right sea of white sand. From where he stood, which was located higher, it looked next on the front side down and continued to slide towards the far nun there bordering the bluish water line that looks like a natural pool that is so calm and calm very broad stretched. As for from far away across the blue pond he could still see countless shapes like scattered rocks poking out from the ground and upright standing with pointed ends, he said, just like the skin of durian. Suddenly he heard another snoring sound that made the boy to follow the big cat's steps again. For the sake of seeing the horizon on the southwest side of where it is now running and it looks as if it is floating on the surface of a vast blue pool and gives a soft reflection of sunlight that will sink, he said, Waseso was thus amazed and realized, if now he was on a beach that was so beautiful, which he himself never dared to dream of seeing it directly like today. A pair of tears that came out and flowed on his cheeks he just let it go and still stepped following the big cat. Now the view sees the right side that shows a low wall like a rock, but continues to the northwest, far away there increasingly looks towering like a giant fortress fence. As far as five steps in front of him now seen the big cat is sitting his ass with both front legs perpendicular supporting his upper body and head. Waseso boldly approached him and now stopped and stood to the left of the big cat. With this position, Waseso still had to raise his head if he wanted to look at the nose of the cat who was so big. In front of him now flows very calmly from his right side a little higher, towards his left and empties into the vast pool of water earlier. The river is only about five feet wide and its black pebble base is clearly visible. In the water, there are a bunch of fish that average almost the same size of an arm, swimming very calmly and like not afraid of the presence of the two of them nearby. The big cat's right leg made a motion like scratching sand and continued with his mouth like chewing while his face looked at the boy. Soon Waseso responded, that he asked himself to catch fish to eat them both, because Waseso thought that of course the cat was afraid of water. Without hesitation he immediately stepped into the river and deftly caught a single fish that passed near his feet. Once in his strong grip, then lifted and he thrust to the big cat. But he saw that he only made mouth movements like chewing. Although somewhat doubtful, moreover, he never ate raw fish, but finally Waseso held tightly to the bottom of the fish body near the base of his tail and then banged the fish's head into a stone that poked from the water nearby until he felt the fish no longer struggling. Then slowly start biting the body part of the fish. For the sake of feeling his nose and mouth did not feel the smell of fishy or even rancid from the fish, also somehow the meat was felt salty savory and as little as there was a sweet taste on his tongue, then he made a wider bite. Now the cat saw him was shifting down to the left and stepped three treads then into the middle of the river and just immediately rolled around in the water. Waseso laughed and saw him. After finally finishing one fish that had made his stomach feel full and then throw the durinya far across the edge there, Waseso also immediately took a dip and bathe in the middle of the river.

Feeling his face warm Waseso opened his eyes and immediately got up to sit down. The nature around him had started to look bright, he raised his head and looked at the blue sky so beautifully. The sprinkling of millions of stars that were so cradled last night and drugged him to sleep, also disappeared without a trace, only vaguely still seen the shape of the moon rounded intact signifies the rotation of the world's time. The sound of seabirds flying over the distance of the blue pool there so boisterous and faint mixed with the smell of morning air makes the spirit of life in Waseso feel smoldering. On his left about three steps, his new friend seemed to just sit quietly staring at the expanse of the pool as well. Waseso got up and decided to take a shower. Uniquely just walked two steps his best friend also got up and followed the boy. Arriving at the clear river Waseso immediately squatted and dipped the water then washed his face. After he finished, still with a crouching position he turned to the right of the river while muttering;

"this river is very clear and fresh water, where it comes from, yes,..."

"making foam powder takes time, so just use fresh"

Finished muttering, he immediately picked a few leaves and immediately ran to the middle of the clear pond which turned out to be the height of the water as shoulder of the boy.

The hissing sound of his new best friend, immediately awakened the boy from the continued admiration that reached him when a moment ago was so satisfied to look around the environment around the place where he stands today is the highest plateau of natural heaven. He could also conclude that the only entrance or exit of this beautiful place was from the north side. Because the south extends from the southeast to the southwest is a blue expanse of the ocean. While to the west, although it is not so clear whether it is a stretch of greenish water approaching black or a stretch of grass but also dark color and above it like a dark fog hangs out. The east side is the same as the west. Only the main side on a small part there is one place where the fog is not so thick and the basic color under the fog is not too dark. Waseso thought that a place this wide like being inside a natural fortress. Besides the fertile soil, abundant water and many fruit trees that some plots have filled his stomach just now.

"ghrrrrrrr, who,....."

The sound of his best friend from hiss is now growling and walking slowly down the hill. Actually Waseso felt heavy to leave the top of the hill, but for the sake of seeing the spotlight of his two friends' eyes as if showing seriousness, then he followed walking down while muttering;

"the tour guide took me home"

And true Waseso's guess, because the path taken by the big cat is to lead back to the cave.

SERIATE.
