The Fight For Honor

Jera The Fanciers

Bandung, 1985

The sun has slipped but the light is still blinding the eyes. Meanwhile, the air temperature is not too hot. The dry dust is blown by the wind. The whirlwind carrying dust blew towards the threshold of the alley just as Gungun appeared.

Gungun had just returned to karate training at his High School which he took as an exculpator. Although he had been wearing a t-shirt and jeans since, while his feet were only on a slipper claw he still walked gallantly while carrying a karategi [1] on his shoulders. The karateka clothes he folded and tied with a black belt on the end of the tire there is a white strip one. He deliberately shouldered such a strategy as if to give the world an announcement that he was a karateka Dan 1. [2]

Meanwhile the whirlwind coming from the field ground became broken while arriving at the mouth of the alley

the air is moist because it is always covered by the shadow of buildings. Rushing Gungun closed his eyes, nose and mouth so as not to enter the dust of the divorced in front of the eyes. While jumping slightly avoiding the dust, he arrived at a dry field. The area of the sleeping area is only as large as badminton. It also looks because there are bamboo slats that characterize and line as the field. This field is the only place in RT 06 RW 10 Maleber Village and is often used by children to play. The field that is commonly used in addition to badminton sports, also bamboo blades are used also for the game 'guil ulung'. And other child games. Even for cycling children from anywhere to this field and mingling with those who complain of kites.

But on the day leading up to this afternoon there are other sights besides the fanfare of children playing on Sunday like now. There was a group of teenagers clustered on a wall of a house that was located right on the edge of the field. Most of them dressed up as punks.

Some teenagers swarmed another teenager who was cornered on the wall of red bricks that had not been plastered. Teenage children whose hair is colored colorful there are 7 people.

Hm, the kids from RW 13 played far away, why are they here? gungun

While the glasses-minus teen seemed to be my mat in their threat. His collar was gripped by the left hand of a teenager whose entire head was shaved bald but left only the middle hair from front to back. The unshaved part of the hair is made perpendicular and painted the color of the feathers of a peacock. At the same time the peacock's right hand was clenched in front of the glasses boy's face.

No one dared to bully Gungun, nor did he ever bully other children, not even his habit of threatening or even bullying other children. And he did not like to see and let there be bullied children so he rushed directly and without awkward to come to them. Then this karateka barged in among the crowd and met the glasses boy.

For the sake of seeing what came was Gungun, the child who gripped the neck of the bespectacled child's shirt slowly released his hand from the neck of the child who was having bad luck.

"Sony, apparently here? I've been looking since. Let's go" said Gungun as he wrapped his left hand around the glasses boy's neck, "you promised me you'd get me a new comic." Meanwhile, Gungun's right hand still carries a karategi on his shoulder. Half-dragging, Gungun brought Sony out of the crowd. The children who were carried by Gungun's shoulders were forced to get away and let them pass. Seen once the seven delinquent teenagers were jeered at Gungun. Though Gungun itself is too handsome compared to their faces carved with various types of tattoos. Similarly, the appearance of Gungun is less sangar compared to the accessories they wear.

"Diem loe" said Gungun, "who likes to read Powerpuff girl Z comics!"

Arriving at the threshold of another alley, Gungun released his embrace. And after the embrace of Gungun, the glasses boy walked in his own direction.

A narrow alley that is only passed by a motorcycle, on the left right lined with small houses.

"What are you doing there with Rudi Merlin and his gang?" asked Gungun while walking beside Sony.

"Do not know?" Sony replied while fixing the glasses on his nose, "they charge money, he said I promised to tell them. I never promised anything?""

Gungun immediately smiled wryly feeling insinuated by this geeky child. Then they arrived at an alley crossing.

"Here you go, I go home, you too!" Said Gungun, "don't meet with Rudi, ntar Loe is pegged again!" Then rushed Gungun to leave Sony and took directions to the threshold of another alley. []
