Swordsman Behind the Scenes

CHAPTER 18 - THE UNIQUE SILAT WARRIOR

After finishing lunch. Ni Luh entered and sat in her room, so called because Ni Luh made her own small cloth tent, where she could freely work making ready-made clothes, for refugee children. In the tent room, Ni Luh also stored various fabric materials as well as four girl clothes and three clothes stels for boys. For about a month now, their small group has been transformed into a refugee village for the small people who are looking for shelter.

While still sewing, Ni Luh recalled the journey of their small group which at that time consisted of seven adults, a horse, a dairy cow and a small yellow bird. However, once leaving the empty house two months ago, it turned into twenty-four adults and three children. However, their trip was even like a super big family who were traveling. How not, because both Waseso and Kinda are so carefree as if having a new family. Ni Luh too, his feelings were once so devastated by miscarriage, prolonged pain plus the loss of a husband, but began to be comforted by the existence of Kinda and all. Moreover, after that, starting to hang out with the three refugee boys, she really felt like a twenty-one year old young mother who had at once obtained three children. Kang Aji has also been married to Kestri who is a kara, therefore it can be imagined how happy pakde and bude who dreamed, too, they do not dare to have a beautiful ghost in the midst of their decades of displacement and suffering.

Once they met the "special forces of the emperor" who were about twelve horsemen. Residents who did not know the shrewdness of Waseso and Kinda, of course at that time immediately frightened, let alone turned out that the one who advanced against the troops was only Kinda one. Of course those who saw it were doubtful and wary. But apparently, in just two waves, the group of self-styled troops, all at once made keok by Kinda, who was still generous not to tear a piece of their lives each. But basically Kinda is bengal and ignorant. They had to give up their horses, along with all the spoils, and take off their outer garments. Of course, all that Kinda asked was happily obeyed, because they all realized that each did not have a spare life.

After the incident, it was very clear how plongnya hearts of all refugees to know that their protector is like a rescue angel and of course has a direct impact on the calm and health of their bodies. Want to eat any fruit, if it is in season and there along the path of their journey, without being asked, Waseso has provided. For those who feel sore or tired of walking because the pedati remains only one, can take turns riding a booty horse. If anyone has a complaint of illness, Waseso acts as a physician and is free. Only what was a bit troublesome for them was clean water.

Therefore, after a month later they arrived in an open valley and there was a water source in the form of a small river with clear water, they agreed to stay there temporarily.

Once, when dinner was over and they were talking. Ni Luh asked the same question to two people :

"to my knowledge, almost all martial artists are people who have silat and wander to eradicate crime, but why do you both prefer to wander in this way?"

"i've been doing adventures like that, for years, but it turns out to be boring, like this I feel different" Kinda replied.

Answer Waseso ;

"i don't want to feel boredom like this stinky little sister did." up here, I'm, he seemed to be in pain because his arms were bent by Kinda and of course all those who saw were made to laugh at the behavior of their two warriors. But after that Waseso answered seriously ;

"becoming a swordsman does not all have to be by wielding a sword and pitting silat. And I feel more useful as I am today, am I not also quenching fear and fighting disease,...?"

Only Ni Luh, Kinda, pakde and bude all nodded because they understood the intention conveyed by the young man.

It seemed like the universe heard Waseso saying, because tomorrow morning there was one family appearing from a distance there, coming to ask for protection and joining. Then came again two families at once, of course with conditions and circumstances that are concerning,...

Thus, until finally as it is today, this valley became like a refugee village. Of course, the impact, Bude and Kestri became very busy organizing the division of duties of women in the kitchen. Pakde and Kang Aji were the guides for the making of the makeshift huts.

But of course the busiest was ; Kinda, who had never taught, was now a silat coach of fathers and mothers, though only limited to basic swordsmanship and canoeing, now, that is for the purpose of helping take turns watching the situation. Kinda was also on duty, to do some basic shopping, especially rice and other necessities to a small town in front of them, about a half day trip away and a half day trip home. Kinda, even bought Ni Luh fabric and sewing tools because she knew that the brother really likes sewing, in addition to just doing activities, and also doing things, because of his health condition and was forbidden by Waseso to do heavy work.

For a moment Ni Luh, putting the cloth she had sewed into her lap, looked out of the tent and smiled seeing the little children in a huddle and playing under the shade of the banyan tree, like forgetting the suffering they have been through all this time. He also mumbled :

"really unique warriors"

Just finished he muttered, one of the people he was referring to earlier, seemed to be walking towards his tent by holding a beautiful girl with a slightly brown skin, who seemed to be the same age as him. On his back, it appeared to be poking out a sword hilt that further complemented the attractiveness of the young girl in white.

The man had not yet arrived, but his voice preceded; "Brother Niluh, this is Brother Wulan, we had met in the city. He helped me give rice to refugees". Kinda said as if shouting. As for Ni Luh immediately got up from her seat to welcome the arrival of the two of them with a friendly smile, once arriving in front of her, Ni Luh extended her right hand to shake hands ;

"hi I'm Ni Luh,...."

Ni Luh was shocked by the reaction of the beautiful girl he heard named Wulan earlier, because he did not welcome the outstretched hand, but instead immediately embraced his body warmly and even kissed his cheek right-left, it continued like hugging one arm while directly nerocos like a horse carriage, but at once Ni Luh felt like this girl ;

"sister Ni Luh,..mmmm,..mmmm,..mmmm, I'm so glad to finally meet my sister Ni Luh,...owh yes the place is good yes,.bla.bla...bla...bla"

Thus, the three chatted with fun, although Ni Luh was more of a listener. He who really does not have a sister like playing the role of the eldest brother. While hearing, he saw Wulan who turned out to be only a year older than Kinda who was eighteen years old, was a beautiful girl who was very innocent of heart, even exceeding Kinda. He likes to talk about what it is. Besides that unique, this Wulan is more chewy and spoiled than Kinda whose outside looks calm. By sitting face to face like this, maybe others will say that Wulan who has a round face, more beautiful than Kinda, because it may be caused by the way the appearance of the Kinda who is unique. He was like taking care of his face carelessly, liked to be in the blazing sun without face protection, his hair was disheveled and dressed like a man. In fact, the first time Ni Luh met Kinda, even more unique. The body, from the waist up looks large and flat between the stomach with the chest + both shoulders, the arms and hands also look big but uniquely the palms that come out of the sleeves of his clothes look small and normal like a girl. But somehow, tomorrow suddenly the big part and mentioned earlier, has turned a little more shrink and a little look normal, like a person who does body slimming surgery overnight. Therefore, Ni Luh felt, there was something hidden by his sister on this one, but he did not want to ask or tease about it, afraid to offend him. It's just that because Ni Luh, initially felt uncomfortable with the careless Waseso who always called his sister "horse smell" then, specifically this thing, this, Ni Luh was harsh on Kinda and there was no bargaining. At first Kinda still tried to boycott, maybe because of her love of mingling with animals such as horses and cows, if reminded the brother to take a bath and diligently change clothes, but because one day, he was, he looked at both of his brother's eyes like they were teary-eyed holding a hunk, since then Kinda changed to what the brother ordered and never completely sniffed the smell of horses or cows again and diligently took care of his hair and nails.

When he saw that Waseso appeared to be passing in front of him, Kinda immediately tweeted as a code to call him and the summoned one came, despite taking the time to grab a little boy, then threw him in the air, and then threw him in the air, followed by the boy's happy scream. Kinda then introduced the two. Waseso just opened his mouth with a few words and said goodbye again.

After a while, Wulan also said goodbye because he had to catch up with time, before the sunset had to reach his village. And he also warned Kinda and Ni Luh so that they and the entourage took the time to visit his village not far from the city in front.

After Wulan's departure, and seeing the pile of four sacks of rice being lowered by Kinda assisted by the refugees ahead there, Ni Luh muttered "one more unique swordsman"

But what was muttered by Ni Luh, was wrong, because two days later, it was the afternoon that Kinda was speeding on her horse, together with a beautiful girl and dressed like coming from the opposite country behind the mountain of Snow Peak, nun far north there. The two of them, were heading towards the refugee settlement.

SERIATE.
