Swordsman Behind the Scenes

CHAPTER 22 - THE RETURN OF THE SWORD MUSTIKA

For two days Kinda felt such a happy heart, continuing the journey with her beusarrr family. He walked, chewed his hand, and occasionally looked up at the tree towards the little yellow bird that flew from branch to branch, in order to follow the journey of his master. Kinda who is usually the most chatty, this time defeated by the cheerfulness of Laksita who looks very agile, moving to and fro picking a variety of beautiful flowers that she met along the way. The result of his quote, most of it tucked into his own ear, even forcibly into the ears of Ni Luh, Werni, even Kinda. Occasionally heard amused laughter from the three women. How not, if each of their ears, both right and left, already installed two different types of flowers, but Laksita still forced it again with other types of flowers, other types, of course they all felt amused by the behavior of the girl. But they realized that while in the village, only Laksita very rarely came out of the refugee treatment huts, because of the many patients. Out just for lunch, even occasionally, doing his own personal needs routine, such as bathing, washing clothes, etc. The loosest time is just to join dinner together, after that sleep, tomorrow morning again continued like the previous day. Therefore, they are aware and also carried by the energy of the joy of the beautiful girl. Now, he was no longer wearing his customary clothes that had been kept. And now has to wear the traditional clothes of this nation's women. The shirt, made by Ni Luh, which sews it very fitting and beautiful wrap Laksita's body and skin are milky white but there is also a reddish tinge.

Excitement was also shown by Ni Luh, who was always smiling happily.

As he walked, he arranged the flowers from Laksita's passage which had been overwhelmed with her harvest. In his activity, he recalled the incident a week ago, when he tried to bring Laksita closer to one of Kang Daruna's younger siblings, a young man who was the same age as the girl, handsome and handsome, and clearly showed his interest in Laksita. But the result, Ni Luh was instead romanced by Laksita. Remembering that, he smiled to himself and swore he would never repeat it.

Werni was like a young mother, carrying a bag of snacks made by her. He was busy shouting and calling Laksita if the girl did not show her nose because it was milling around, after she came and approached, Werni immediately greeted the girl with his right hand. In fact, his action was to feed this, as well as to Ni Luh and Kinda.

This group of four beautiful women, was the second leading group. Where the first group and far ahead there, is kakang Daruna and his younger siblings. They act as pitchers and street cleaners, if met with a bully.

The third group is refugee youth, as well as some elderly people who are healthy and want to walk. Sometimes there are those who take turns holding the little boy on their shoulders, who, if the boy looks sleepy, are handed over to the rear pedicure pulled by the horse. Followed is a pedati that transports mothers, behind it, another pedati, also includes a special pedati of the sick, continue to pedati again, snaking, snaking, the pedati that transports goods and the last pedati that transports female dairy cows, named plentong.

Last and last is Waseso, a leisurely walk while sometimes dizzy when looking at a coconut tree. If there is a tempting fruit, just direct the young man flying up, pick and offer it to the front group, and so on. Till.....

"suiitttttttt,." heard the whistling code from the front and of course the young man immediately stepped forward. Now he saw Kang Daruna with his younger siblings, was discussing with female warriors, at a crossroads.

Upon seeing the young man's arrival, kang Daruna immediately said ;

"sister Waseso, to the right is the road leading to the small town of Serupan, straight continues to lead to the big city of Watureng and the left direction I do not know where to go". The one asked was silent, because he also did not know and instead looked at Kinda who also seemed to be thinking while crying right-left-front, as if looking for something.

They were surprised by the sound of Laksita standing behind them, across the crossroads to their left, while her right hand held a branch of a wild plant tree, as well as reading slowly towards a black stone behind the leaves of the cover, like a guide stone ;

"panca soot of color,...."

Kinda immediately shouted;

"Well, that's him mentioned by Wulan.telaga panca colors, means we go left"

Without being commanded twice, the group of guards opened the road, moving to the left followed by the rear entourage and so on.

Not until an hour later, when just passing a bend of the road, they saw there was a lake that was very wide and in the middle there was an island that was also very wide. The sunlight that bounced on the ripples of the lake water was like melting gold. And on the right side of the slightly shaded greenish color. The left side looks like blue and reddish. Most of the island still shows greatness like a small forest, if noticed from afar. On the front side of the island, there are clear patches of green fields, as well as dozens of houses of residents and look so neatly lined up.

The only way to cross the island, is by way of passing a wooden bridge that is quite wide, where the end of the entrance must pass two wooden towers high enough with the top made in such a way as a guard hut. What a village with a good security fort.

When it is close to the entrance and find a place that is quite wide and flat. Group stopped. Waseso then walked over to eight men and a woman, who stood facing them, with their backs emblazoned with swords.

Among them was a man, about seventy years old, of medium stature, all of his hair white and tied with a cloth wrapped around his temple. Although he is elderly, but his face looks fresh and still looks handsome. Besides, there stood a woman, who was also the same age as the man, who seemed to be the wife. Her face was freshly shining and also still left a beauty in her youth first.

At each of the guard posts, there were six men with bow guns. When it was near, and just now Kang Daruna as the oldest man in the Waseso troupe, was about to open his mouth to convey the greetings of the encounter, suddenly heard the joyful cry of the voice of the woman, from the direction of the island ;

"kindaaaaa.kak Ni Luhhhhh,...."

"Wulannn,..."

"Wulannn's sister,...."

Almost simultaneously, Kinda and Ni Luh simultaneously shouted and jumped happily. The pair of elderly swordsman husband and wife, now seemed to begin to understand what happened, because they both immediately smiled at Waseso's entourage as well.

Of course this immediately diluted the awkwardness for both parties. The shadow of the body of a young girl who was running in trance, seemed to come closer and once in front of them;

"brukkkk, ." immediately hit and hugged Kinda and Ni Luh.

And prove, that indeed the girl is Wulan;

"Kinda, Sister Ni Luh, how are you..you are so beautiful,..do you have been,...bla,.bla,..bla,.bla,.." once opened your mouth, the question came out like a freight train. Laksita and Werni immediately felt like the girl. A couple who seemed to be the father and his biological mother, seemed to just smile while shaking their heads, seeing the behavior of his daughter.

Finally one by one they get to know each other and are invited to enter the island. As Waseso was about to answer hesitantly, looking back at the group of refugees, the old man immediately said;

"don't worry young man, all of them, also we invite into the island" finished saying, he immediately ordered kang Suryo who turned out to be Wulan's older brother, to immediately take care of the matter.

So that night, in a large meadow, held a great night together. All the refugee groups as well as all the islanders, mingled together while lighting the bonfire.

Mr. Swordsman Ufuk Timur himself opened the event, saying to welcome the arrival of guests as well as to celebrate the birth of his first grandson from his eldest son, Kang Suryo.

Among them, Kang Daruna was one of the people who also looked very happy, how not? you can meet directly with a martial artist who is very admired, let alone sit at a table. So, as usual if you are gathering for dinner, Kang Daruna again became the only person who most actively talked about all topics of struggle to defend the country, the state of the martial world along with *****, whimpering, where it is for Kinda, Ni Luh and Laksita to be uncomfortable, because it is very different from the circumstances before the arrival of the concerned. Where at that time, the dinner always felt so warm in the way Waseso who preferred to talk about everyday light things that sometimes make everyone laugh, even every refugee is required to tell stories in turns. Of course, with the way they each in plain words and sentences talk straw, but it actually makes the atmosphere of dinner, feels to be something that everyone is waiting for, he said, even for refugee children.

As for the three girls, just keep Werni feeling so as not to feel offended by their boredom towards the Daruna kang that they consider most pretentious. Even though without them knowing, Werni himself as a wife also began to feel bored with the behavior of her husband, who was also, even he was the first to interrupt the husband's conversation and apply permission to the host to see the baby and his mother. Of course hearing this, Kinda, Laksita and Ni Luh were very happy and asked for permission and withdrew Wulan's hand to lead the four of them.

The day went by when Waseso had just left Suryo's house, to search for Kinda's whereabouts as well as trying to meet directly with the Eastern Ufuk Sword swordsman and talk personally about the genealogy of his master's family the Sword God. But apparently, both his parents and his sister Wulan do not live in a house with Suryo kang, but live in a separate house located above the village and close to the rice fields.

While walking casually, looking at the scenery around and seeing then a simple house but so beautiful with various types of ornamental plants and some fruit plants, he walked closer and more deeply ;

"why looks lonely, yes.even the women are not seen at all,.owh it turns out this is the way to the back of the house,." continued his mind and keep walking closer, his intention towards the front of the house. However, when it arrived near the side wall of the house that all the windows were closed, where the position stood at that time was only separated by a knee-high bamboo fence and a small yard planted with flowers. Waseso, whose hearing is very sharp, and highly knowledgeable, does not hear the slightest sound of footsteps, while the owner of the house is unfortunately in the weakest condition for a martial artist,....

Waseso heard a voice from inside behind the wall, which he thought was suspicious, as he had never heard such a sound at all. Then he flashed towards the source of the sound and clapped the wall ;

"uhhh,.don't let go of kiii,..."

"yes, this is also your fault for giving too much pain,.."

"the name was also hasty earlier,.already ah cepetan,.nah so,.ssshhhhh"

"like thishh ?,..."

"yeah so,.do not get out,.... auhhhh......ssshhhhhh,......."

Waseso who is really plain-spirited is just innate;

"it looks like they're busy pulling out the thorn in the mistress's leg, nahhh better I look for luck looking for an eel" finished the impingement, he flashed towards the gaze that caught his attention and immediately ran towards a rice field that was like it had just been plowed, about eight spears away from the house and instantly engrossed in a bow, he said, then squat down and do what it says inwardly. Quite a long time he was doing his activities, when he heard Laksita's call ;

"sister Waseso,...."

The summoned one immediately got up and saw Laksita, Kinda, Ni Luh and Werni were lifting up and showing off various kinds of vegetables, with Wulan at the very front, walking towards the road towards his front yard, all the windows are now open from when.

Then Waseso immediately washed all his hands and feet clean and picked up objects that were as long as possible but wrapped in cloth in such a way, and did not forget, he said, a long and thick straw with about twenty-one fat eels was hanging in the hay.

",....so there you have it,.he is the Sword God of East Ufuk is the grandfather of his grandfather my great-grandfather", Wulan's father also closed the story of history and family genealogy.

Ms. Wulan, Waseso, kang Suryo, Wulan, Kinda, Ni Luh, Laksita and Werni were seen sighing at each other hearing the long but dense story. The stomach feels full after lunch together, the heart is happy plus hearing the speech, feels so pleasant.

As for Kinda and Ni Luh just mutually lyrics and as if they understood, why Waseso back then, asked the two of them not to tell the relationship of the Sword God with the young man who was the teacher-student. Imagining how Waseso would call his father Wulan: "brothers of the great-grandson's grandson's grandson,." or vice versa, Wulan's father called Waseso: "unrival of the great-grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, great-grandfather,...." it made them both suddenly dizzy. Now they are both, waiting for what strategy will be issued by Waseso.

After all of them, a little while in silence, Waseso took a breath then said to the Swordsman ;

"master swordsman, my arrival here actually specifically wants to hand over the mandate that has been given by my teacher, to be handed over to the heirs of the Eastern Ufuk Sword God "

"who is your teacher young?"

"regarding this, I can't tell you, so I beg you to be informed"

"owh no problem, I can understand the nature of the silat swordsman how, it's okay young people"

Then Waseso picked up the thing wrapped in cloth, which he placed on his side table and stood up and opened the wrapping cloth.

For the sake of looking at his contents, immediately the swordsman, wife, and his two children sat upright sculpting and instantly showed a face as pale as a corpse ;

"the cleaver of the sky, great-grandfather"

Along with that shout, the swordsman, fell down to the point that his eel touched the floor while sobbing should shed tears. So did his wife and two children. How not, the sword for them and their families is a family will, which they only hear hereditary and all this time can only see from the paintings that are displayed on the walls of their living room.

Now in fact the original form, was in the hands of a simple young man and was standing waiting while holding out the will in their house? All who were present watched the tears, especially Laksita really fell in love with the young man who had already attracted her, from the first time they side by side do medical assistance to the small people who suffer, especially now he witnessed for himself the sincerity and honesty of the extraordinary young man.

Such a sight is beautiful and happy.

That night, the Swordsman held a dinner that was even more festive than before.

SERIATE.
