The Musafir
Train Kana
FINISHED ALREADY cleaning the poison that the North River Angel did to a Mantingan. The girl asked Mantingan to immediately clean up at the bathhouse behind the shop. The coat is also asked to change his pants with new pants. Luckily, the Wira Drug Store has provided change of clothes for its customers.
After cleaning up and replacing the pants with all-white pants, Mantingan met Kana and Kina and told them to go home soon. At first they seemed uninspired and reasoned still not to meet the Angel of the North River. But Mantingan reported that Bidadari Sungai Utara will stay overnight
—they immediately cheered happily.
“We will do many fun things with Brother Sasmita!” Kana cheers cheerfully. Responded to his sister who spoke in such a way. Then he said again, “If Brother Sasmita stay, we can hear many fairy tales before going to bed.”
“What did you say, Kana?”
Kana's face changed after hearing that. “Big brother doesn't want to mess with my excitement anymore, does he?”
Mantingan smiled gently, saying softly anyway, “Kana, you can't sleep with women at your current age. You sleep in your own room. Or else you sleep with me, if you don't want to be alone.”
“Kak Man, that's right ..” Kana showed her objection. “I'm not afraid to be alone, but I've never slept with Sasmita before. Kina told me that Sasmita's sister always told me many tales before going to bed, I also want to feel them.”
Mantingan said softly while still maintaining his smile. “Yes, you can still listen to a fairy tale from Sasmita's sister, but not if you sleep with her.”
“Kakak Man, I want to hear a fairy tale until I fall asleep. It will feel like a peace. I haven't felt that for a long time.”
“Then, come to my room. I'll tell you about martial arts until you fall asleep.”
Kana was silent for a while, or rather she was stunned. “Is that true, Brother Man?”
“True.” Manten smiled widely, feeling happy his words had been on target.
“Then, tonight I will sleep in Brother Man's room. As long as Big Brother promises to teach me silat.”
“Yes, I will teach you the art of sword skills. So, let's go home and we wait for night to come.”
“I don't mind at all, let's go home!”
***
That afternoon. In the yard full of flowers. Kana was grasping the wooden sword that the Mantang made for her. The little man could not wait for the night to come, asking Mantingan to train him before sunset.
However, who would have thought that he was only ordered to put up the horses while holding a wooden sword? Kana had expressed her objection to Mantingan, but was rejected outright. As she sought the support of the North River Angel, the girl instead asked her to put up the horses immediately.
Currently, Mantingan is watering its flower buds. While the North River Angel sat with Kina on the terrace, watching Kana as well as playing cooking with Kina.
Kana thought that she was having bad luck today. Without him realizing that his training today is very useful in tomorrow. And someday, he will understand.
And Mantingan .. he seemed not to notice Cana, not even a little. But unbeknownst to the boy, Mantingan continued to pay attention to him. The mantle can tell a person's weaknesses. He just needs to think about what exercises will cover up the child's weakness.
But there is a little doubt that pervades in Mantingan. About whether he would continue to train the boy or finish him today anyway. He also doubted whether a child of Cana's age could accept everything in the martial world? Even if it wasn't the martial world, would Kana be able to utilize martial arts for a good cause?
And so after that, Mantingan found the best teaching ordinance for Cana. In addition to martial arts, Kana must also learn the science of Truth. Like what he had learned from Kiai Guru Kedai.
His teacher once said, “Science will only destroy without the knowledge of Truth. Science will spread misery and not peace. Hunger is not welfare. Curses are not blessings. Lack is not abundance. Hate not love. That's what's happening right now. Do not occasionally fall into this perverted life. Be a warrior who brings peace, prosperity, blessings, and abundance in your every step. So even if you die, you need not fear, you die on the right path.”
Kiai Guru Kedai once emphasized it. “If you fall into a perverted life, I as your teacher will fail to educate students, and I as a teacher have the right to stop students who have deviated from their teachings. No matter if it had to kill its own disciple!”
After remembering the words of Kiai Guru Kedai, Mantingan quickly found the answer he sought. Kiai Guru Kedai once said, “It is not too late to learn, but there is a word too early to learn. A newborn cannot be taught how to make another baby.”
So thats. Kana should not enter the pejilatan lake river at an early age. It would be dangerous for him who had not gone through the youth. Mantingan clearly knows that adolescence is a vulnerable time. Kana will continue to study martial arts, but not directly lead to the science of shortness.
After finding the answer to his question, Mantingan began to shift his gaze from Kana to the flowers of his plants.
In his courtyard, which could also be called a garden, Mantingan made several rows of mounds of earth. In the mounds that are then planted with medicinal flowers. Now the flowers are still in the form of buds, but in less than a month will become mature flowers that are ready to produce.
Mantingan not only planted the flower seeds he got from the store, but also the flower seeds that had been embedded in his camp first. The mantan still carries the flower seeds in its bundle. Among others he brought were Purple Sari Flower, Death Scent Flower, and almost all flowers that were successfully planted by Mantingan.
But as for the Deathly Aroma Flower, Mantingan still had no way to plant it on limited land. Mantingan recalled that the Death Scent Flower was indeed fast in growth and spread. If the flower is not limited in its spread, then it will definitely interfere with other plants. Moreover, the smell of the flower is very very rotten, it will certainly make the neighbors around Mantingan will feel disturbed.
So for now, the Death Scent Flower was not planted first. At least, until Mantingan found a safe way to plant it. No matter how high the selling price of the Death Scent Flower.
