The Musafir
Angry Coat — Volume 5 Finished
"Tell me how you and your friends found the girl. My mood is not good right now, so I'm not reluctant to kill you.”
MANTINGAN CLUTCHED the collar of one of the men who intended to harass the North River Angel. The man regained consciousness shortly after Rara left the Mantingan, and it seemed that the man was being unlucky for being a person among his comrades.
“Don't kill me .. I can explain it.” The man cupped his two palms in front of the Mantingan. “This was originally started from home, I approached my friends and said that there was a celebration at the Pigeon Feather Inn. I've rejected them, but they insist and keep forcing until I—”
“Do you want to know one thing?” The mantan tightened its grip and grinned furiously. “One thing you need to know, I don't care about that. Explain how you can find the girl here!”
“Mantingan! That's not you, stay calm!” Rara's voice appeared inside his head, commemorating the Mantingan who was very lustful of killing that person. In response, Mantingan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“Alright! I'll explain, but please don't kill me! My friends and I reached the Pigeon Feather Inn, where we were drunk, and we saw a veiled woman coming down from the second floor. Although veiled, but we know stored beauty in the veil. So we went up to him and took him for a drink, he refused and we did not insist any more. But it turns out ...”
The moment the man stopped talking, Mantingan gritted him, “But what?!”
“She .. she drinks alone. We approached him and chased away the snot boys who were trying to seduce him. At that time, the girl was drunk and said words that we did not understand meant. But he looked seductive while raving, so we were forced to take him out of the inn.”
Strong growling mantle. “Then why did he get here?!”
“We intend to take her to one of our houses .. but we meet you here.”
“YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO HER YET, HAVE YOU?!” The mantan said in a thunderous voice. The guts of the man before him instantly shrieked to the very end.
“Really! We haven't done anything yet! We have not done anything! Even just open the veil, we haven't!”
“Long!” The mantle plunged the man's head to the ground. “There's no way you guys haven't opened the veil.”
“Seriously! My friends promised not to open the girl's veil before bringing her inside the house.”
The mantang held back a harsh word that was almost spoken. Instead, Mantingan raised the person's head high before being banged back to the ground. The man screamed for a moment and complained in pain.
“He is a warrior, you should not be his opponent. You guys caught it easily, what potion have you guys given him?!”
“Really! We didn't give any potion. But, I saw him demonstrate a kind of silat movement. I don't know for sure what movement, really!”
“Are any of you injured because of the silat movement?”
“Thank God there is no.”
Mantingan did the same thing as he did. Raise the man's head up, then bang him firmly on the ground. Again the man screamed and complained of pain.
“Can you be grateful in front of me.” The mantle then threw out the man's collar and walked away leaving him without making another sound.
“I've never seen you like that before, Mantingan.”
Mantingan said in his mind, “Indeed never.”
“You should say never again.”
“It's not good, Mantingan. You're doing unnecessary violence to that guy. Tomorrow don't repeat again, huh?”
Mantingan took a deep breath and nodded slowly, though he was doubtful whether he could not do the same tomorrow.
***
MANTINGAN RETURNED to his rented room through a window that was still open. Quickly he packed. Two bundles were attached behind him, not feeling heavy. Kiai Kedai's sword was scorned on his back as well. Do not forget to leave a number of gold pieces on the mattress. After installing the caping, Mantingan is ready to leave.
But before actually leaving and leaving the Dove Feather Inn, Mantingan first entered the room of the North River Angel, through a window that can open easily after being gouged out several times.
Kiai Guru Kedai about teaching him about how to break into the house, but that should only Mantingan do if it is concerned with a good cause. Besides that, Mantingan is prohibited from doing so.
He examined the room thoroughly but quickly, until found the sword belonging to the Little North River left behind. Perhaps being accidentally left behind because his sword was a Mantingan award.
This time the Mantingan completely made sure no items were left behind. Because later he will pursue the North River Angel, of course it is not possible to return to this inn just to take the goods left behind. So after it was confirmed that none of the items were left, Mantingan jumped out through the window.

“Stay follow him, but don't help him if you don't want him to do the no-no.”
LIGHTNING STRIKES. Right now the rain is pouring. Water droplets also become more painful when they hit the skin. Caping Mantingan made the sound of rain when hundreds of water points hit him.
At the top of the evergreen tree the mantingan stands in balance. No matter the wind and rain. Like an owl lurking in the darkness of the night. Seen towards the road, Bidadari Sungai Utara still continues to tread with limping. He had fallen several times because there was no lighting at all that night. Only a fleeting lightning bolt led the girl down the muddy road. Already several times the swamp angels slipped and thumped down until his body was covered with wounds.
“Can this be called a crime?” ask Mantingan to Rara who is sitting on a branch below her.
“Maybe not and may also be yes.”
“Rara, please give me a slightly more firm answer. I can't bear to see it that way.”
“If you remember what he said earlier last night, leaving him like this should not be a crime.” Rara then continued. “But I suggest you don't help him. He'll be so mad at you, then he'll run away from you in any direction. We don't know if he just stepped on a twig or stepped on empty air, mired into the abyss.”
“What you say is terrible, Rara, but it's true.” Slowly Mantingan nodded.
“You just look at it and take care of it is actually enough said to help. The Angel of the North River is too spoiled with you, perhaps with him walking alone his indulgence will be reduced a lot.”
