"Religator,
Come here Good Boy", call Mpu Prawira to Arya Pethak who is practicing using silat taught by Mpu Prawira.
The handsome young man with a sturdy muscular body was immediately approaching Mpu Prawira.
"What's up, Romo? Why did you call me here?", asked Arya Pethak who was astonished by the call. Because all this time, Mpu Prawira always waited for Arya Pethak to finish her training if she wanted to tell him to do something.
"Ngger, you're an adult..
For 18 years, I've been trying to take good care of you. Now sit here and listen to your Romo story is good" said Mpu Prawira while patting a flat stone near his seat.
Arya Pethak immediately sat cross-legged beside Mpu Prawira.
"Then, 18 years ago, while I was passing through a village called Mondoluku, I saw a residential area that was destroyed by the attack of the gang of robbers of the Ireng Centipede. I know those who have pendulum marks carved centipede necklaces.
There I heard the sound of a handsome baby boy crying among the corpses of the residents. There was a necklace pendulum carved with the head of a dragon, and a white silk cloth wrapped around the baby's body. I who could not bear to see it, picked up the boy and I brought him back to this hill.
The child is you, Pethak", said Mpu Prawira, taking out a pendulum necklace carved with a centipede and handing it to Arya Pethak.
Arya Pethak was surprised not to play to hear Mpu Prawira's words. Moreover, he knew that the dragon head carved necklace pendulum had not been separated from the neck of the handsome young man.
"So I'm not the son of Romo and Biyung?", asked Arya Pethak in a sad tone of voice.
Mpu Prawira's eyes glazed over as she shook her head slowly answering Arya Pethak's question.
Arya Pethak's tears spilled instantly. It turned out that all this time, the person who took care of him was not his biological parents. He was so sorry for often doing his own thing, often even making Mpu Prawira upset with his actions.
Although not his biological parents, but Arya Pethak very fond of Mpu Prawira and Nyi Ratih who have worked hard to raise Arya Pethak with affection.
"May I still regard you as my Father?", asked Arya Pethak in tears.
"You've always been my son Ngger Cah Bagus,
You have always been my favorite son" said Mpu Prawira who immediately embraced Arya Pethak's body.
"Thank you Romo, thank you..
I will remain the son of Father and Biyung forever", Arya Pethak hugged Mpu Prawira's body tightly.
"But you have to promise me, Ngger,
Don't let your Biyung know that you already know this secret. Let everything be as usual. Do you understand?", asked Mpu Prawira while looking at Arya Pethak.
"Pethak understands Romo", replied Arya Pethak while nodding.
"Romo tells you, because soon you have to topo ngrame. Uphold justice on this earth as your test to be a warrior of choice.
You must find the man who destroyed your village and killed your parents, Pethak.
Pursue them, and you'll know your true identity.
The leader of the Ireng Palm Brigade was named Mahesa Jenar. I heard the headquarters is on the slopes of Ngliman Mountain. But before you go there, I will provide you with a life grip so that you become a swordsman choose a match" said Mpu Prawira with a faint smile.
"What does it mean Romo?", asked Arya Pethak who was confused to hear the handle of life that Mpu Prawira spoke of.
"Come Ngger Cah Bagus,
Follow me", orders Mpu Prawira who immediately darted towards the top of Kahayunan Hill.
Arya Pethak soon followed Mpu Prawira.
The two men darted fast like flying over trees that grew on the slopes of Kahayunan Hill.
Taphh!!
Mpu Prawira jumped down to a rock cliff on the south side of Kahayunan Hill. Arya Pethak helped teach foster father as well as his teacher.
The foot of Mpu Prawira immediately stepped towards the thicket under the rock cliff. Arya Pethak kept tailing behind her.
Behind the thicket, Mpu Prawira then shifted a large rock under the rock cliff.
Gludhuuuk!!
When the big stone slid, there was a gaping cave door there. Mpu Prawira immediately stepped into the cave followed by Arya Pethak.
In the deepest room of the cave, Mpu Prawira stopped his steps. On a rock, stuck an heirloom keris. Mpu Prawira stared at Arya Pethak for a moment before speaking.
"Nggers,
This is the life I mean. Fool or not with you, it depends on the will of Single Hyang.
Try to revoke it", ordered Mpu Prawira to Arya Pethak.
Arya Pethak stared at the worn-out keris. Slowly Arya Pethak worshipped on this keris, then held her breath for a while before moving her right hand to the handle of the keris.
With all his might, Arya Pethak pulled the heirloom keris from the stone.
Zrrrrttth!
Mpu Gandring's dagger was plucked from the rock, then emitted a yellowish blue light in Arya Pethak's hand.
Mpu Prawira smiled wryly looking at it all. His mind was excited to see the change in color of the light from the heirloom.
"Her partner Keris Mpu Gandring is paired with you Pethak..
My one message, don't just show this heirloom keris to everyone you meet.
Everyone who knows you have Keris Mpu Gandring, will definitely try to seize it. Be careful" said Mpu Prawira, handing over the newly retrieved Mpu Gandring keris warangka from behind the stone next to it.
Arya Pethak immediately received the warangka keris and immediately sheathed Keris Mpu Gandring. After that, he tucked the keris on his left waist.
After that, the two of them immediately went down to the residence of Mpu Prawira.
Nyi Ratih was preparing dinner for the family when Mpu Prawira and Arya Pethak entered the house.
"Nyi, come..
There's something I want to talk to you about", call Mpu Prawira after sitting cross-legged on the porch of the house with Arya Pethak.
From inside the kitchen, Nyi Ratih stepped into the front porch carrying a tray that was filled with food.
"What's up Kakang? It seems very important" said Nyi Ratih while putting the tray.
"Look at Nyi, please,
Tomorrow Arya Pethak will do topo ngrame, as well as I told to meet Kakang Pranaraja in Kadiri.
Please pray your Nyi, may Jagat Dewa Batara protect the journey of our son" said Mpu Prawira with a faint smile.
"Why is that fast Kakang?", there was an unwilling tone to Nyi Ratih's voice.
"It's okay Nyi. A swordsman must look for experience in the outside world, not just be a cage master", said Mpu Prawira who immediately looked at the face of his wife's age.
"All right, Kakang,
I pray that your topo ngrame journey is always in the protection of Hyang Tunggal Ngger..
Arriving at Kadiri, give my greetings to Kakang Pranaraja", said Nyi Ratih who seemed sad because he had to part with Arya Pethak who had accompanied him for 18 years. The woman immediately embraced Arya Pethak's body.
"Iya Biyung, later after arriving in Kadiri I will convey to Gusti Patih Pranaraja", replied Arya Pethak with a faint smile.
That night was the last night Arya Pethak stayed at Kahayunan Hill.
Early morning to Kahayunan Hill. Morning sunlight is so warm hit the shoots of leaves that grow densely there. The boisterous sound of birds chirping as if accompanying the steps of Arya Pethak left the place.
Armed with a bundle of clothes and a bag of silver chips, Arya Pethak did her topo ngrame.
Mpu Prawira and Nyi Ratih continued to gaze at the departure of Arya Pethak who then disappeared behind the lush trees of the path that divides the slopes of Kahayunan Hill.
Arya Pethak's first steps into the martial world began that day. Eagerly, he wanted to head to Kadiri.
After passing through a wide rice field, Arya Pethak was sitting while paying attention to the circumstances around her, suddenly heard the sound of a fierce fight.
Arya Pethak immediately jumped on top of a large fruitful jackfruit tree to find the source of the sound.
Not far from the tree where he was, 2 middle-aged men in dark blue clothes and two young girls in the same clothes were being surrounded by dozens of people in red.
The person in dark blue clothes looked cornered from being outnumbered.
A stocky man with a moustache rarely directly kicked the belly of the man in dark blue who was holding back his sword slash with his pair of short swords.
Bukkkkkk
Aauuggghhhh
The middle-aged man in dark blue roared loudly and bounced backwards as the red-clad man's hard kick slammed into his stomach.
"Uncle Cow Supa,
Are you all right??", asked the young girl immediately.
The middle-aged man in dark blue clothes named Cow Supa coughed for a moment. Her stomach hurts not playing.
"I'm fine, Gayatri", replied Cow Supa to Gayatri who was worried about her situation.
Hahaha
"Forgotten,
Surrender. You will not win against us", the thick-bodied man laughed out loud staring at the face of Lembu Supa who grimaced with pain while standing with the help of Gayatri.
"That's right!
It is better for me to die, Kebo Rukma than to hand my nephew over to an immoral son like you" said Cow Supa, wiping the dripping blood at the corner of his lips. His right hand brandished a short sword at Kebo Rukma.
"Basic doesn't know it's lucky!
Walang Saru, Mendha Yellow..
Finish them off now!!", cried Kebo Rukma loudly.
The thin-bodied Walang Saru and the long-bearded Mendha Yellow immediately charged forward towards the Supa and Gayatri Ox.
Sawung Cemeng and Badrawati, brothers and sisters of Lembu Supa and Gayatri immediately prepare to face the brunt of Kebo Rukma's men. Although they are exhausted fighting against the children of Padepokan Randu Alas, but for the sake of good name and honor of the Blue Flower College, they are ready to sacrifice their lives.
It was a tense moment that suddenly a jackfruit seed shot quickly into the left temple of the Yellow Mendha.
Clakkkk!
Erghhhh....!!
Yellow Mendha staggered into the thin body of Walang Saru. They both fell before they could get close to the students of Blue Flower College. Mendha Yellow fainted.
Everyone was shocked for a moment.
Kebo Rukma's eyes glared at the thin Yellow Mendha that was charred like freshly burned.
Even the students of Blue Flower College are no less surprised. They looked at each other for a moment.
Kebo Rukma immediately circulated his gaze to every corner of the place. His eyes were fixed on a young man who was busy chewing ripe jackfruit on top of a large branch of the tree.
"Heyy..
You are the one who harmed my people?", Kebo Rukma said to Arya Pethak who was still engrossed with her jackfruit.
"You can't accuse people without evidence.
I've been here, not anywhere. How can I denounce your people?", said Arya Pethak indifferently.
"Bad!
The jackfruit seed is his proof. Quick down here motherfucker", Kebo Rukma swerved sharply towards Arya Pethak.
"If you ask me to come down for you to beat up, I won't.
If you can, try to get me out of here. From earlier I was confused how to go down" said Arya Pethak while rubbing her mouth affected by the sap of jackfruit.
"That's right!
Just die there!", cried Kebo Rukma while smashing his energy-strewn right hand towards Arya Pethak.
Whuussshh
The green light rushed towards Arya Pethak. But before touching the skin of Arya Pethak, the handsome young man had already jumped high into the air avoiding the green rays of Kebo Rukma who directly hit the big jackfruit tree.
Bllaaaarrrrr!!
The big tree was destroyed. Arya Pethak with a light movement landed not far from Gayatri and Lembu Supa.
Seeing that, Kebo Rukma glared towards Arya Pethak. Quick and light movements obviously cannot be done by just anyone.
"Hooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..
There's a hotshot apparently here. Rancid youth, back off. Don't interfere in my business", shouted Kebo Rukma loudly.
Seeing Kebo Rukma who was a little scared, Lembu Supa immediately approached Arya Pethak.
"Young rider, though,
Help us to fight their oppression. The children of Blue Flower College will always remember your good thoughts" said Lembu Supa asked for help from the handsome young man.
Hmmmm
"What good is it for me to help you?", asked Arya Pethak to the Cow Supa.
"Ehhhh like this, though,
If you can defeat Kebo Rukma and his men, I will marry Gayatri" replied Cow Supa without thinking.
HAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Gayatri, Sawung Cemeng and Badrawati were surprised to hear the words of Lembu Supa. They did not expect the Supa Ox to say that. Even Kebo Rukma was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle,
Why did you give me to that young man as his help payment?", asked Gayatri in a non-accepting tone.
"Rather than you marry that immoral bitch, I'd rather marry this handsome young swordsman" replied Cow Supa quickly.
Gayatri immediately glanced at Arya Pethak. And sure enough, that young man was indeed handsome. Gayatri's heart was beating fast.
Arya Pethak chuckled amusedly looking at them.
"Easy,
Unpaid I will help you as my first test of topo ngrame", a faint smile etched on Arya Pethak's face.
"And you're Kebo Rukma,
Let's just start our fight".
