The Perfect Art

Episode 10 Hard Workout

Ki Manteb, Ki Bayu Aji and Pakde Mul are very sad to hear the story, while Joko just understood why he became an orphan, it was because of him. Joko recalled Grandpa saying to her a few days ago when she wanted to be held by Grandpa, 'don't get close to me, you've dirtyed Haryanto's name and you don't deserve to sit on my lap.' there were no tears on her cheeks either.

"Mas Adam and Mbak Asih, both should not be sad. This is all indeed the will of Almighty God, let it run properly and according to nature, no need to regret because that used to be over." comforted Ki Bayu Aji.

"Son Adam, I saw that sign five years ago. I get the feeling that there will be a child born in the lunar eclipse, he is a pangejawantahing jawata (reincarnation of god) who was banished to this world for taking heavy sins, he said, until born into a sukerta (cursed) child. He will seek enlightenment and penance in the world by devoting himself to society as the comforter of the people of the earth. The boy was Joko. I am very happy and proud to be able to be because (the way) the realization of Joko's ambition to serve the community" said Ki Manteb broke the silence of the atmosphere.

"Son Joko could have shaved his hair, but I had to do some of my men before. He had to fast two days and two nights, after which he bathed with seven flowers and water from seven different sources." added Ki Manteb.

Ki Manteb's remarks alarmed Om and Bulik. How not after all Joko is still not old enough to do my man like that, but there is no other way if Joko wants to shave hair without having to get unlucky.

The conversation went on for quite a while and eventually Ki Manteb Soedarsono would happily teach Joko about the world of peddling and puppetry. Joko was so happy and asked when he could start training. Ki Manteb said next week and Joko agreed. All the interests have been completed, Om, Bulik and Joko, as well as Ki Bayu Aji and Pakde Mul rushed to leave.

Fathering.. Mother.. Joko will achieve Joko's dream, if later Joko succeeds in becoming a dhalang, Joko will give a gift to Om and Bulik because they are the ones who always support Joko. Joko Gumam.

So happy to practice Joko just focus on puppets. He did not think about the obligation that he was still studying in elementary school. Every day after school Joko changed clothes, ate, and slept. Though Joko if sleeping for three hours, while he came home from school at one. So that the time is almost up for sleep. That night Joko practiced wayang until the 10s. Though Ki Manteb suggested that puppet practice from after ba'da magrib until half-eight. Because Joko falling in love with wayang so often forget the time when dating with wayang. So that the time to learn and complete the tasks of the Master does not exist. Hence Joko is always punished by the teacher at school, Joko's guardian has also been called to school, namely Grandpa. That's why grandfather is getting disgusted and almost hated by Joko. No wonder after school Joko is very tired. Just imagine, if at that school Joko who was still sitting in the first class was punished for sweeping the classroom from the first to sixth grade.

Ki Manteb did not know that Joko behaved like that, he only knew that the science of sabetan (movement of playing puppets) Joko began to develop.

A month passed and Joko had memorized all kinds of sabetan, but his bad habits were still the same. Then Joko gets a new material that memorized the play (shadow story), Ki Manteb let Joko choose for herself which play he wants to memorize. Joko chose the play Babat Alas Wanamarta which tells about a forest called Wanamarta in the kingdom of Astina which will later be given to the Pandavas. Actually this is the scheming plan of Patih Sengkuni and Duryudana because the forest is famous as Jin palace and very haunted, very haunted, hoping that the Pandavas would die in the forest because they were attacked by a subtle creature and lost because they were eaten by the soft man. The plain Pandavas knew nothing and they immediately accepted the forest of Wanamarta as their land of power. Arriving at the edge of the forest Bima began to blindly, he toppled the trees in the forest, followed by his brothers, it turns out that had anger. The ruler of Wanamarta forest, the soft people (subtle creatures), angry because of the actions of Bima who had damaged their residence. There was a fierce battle between the Pandavas (Puntadewa, Bratasen, Permadi, Pinten, and Tangsen) with the Five Jins named Jin Yudistira, Jin Dandunwacana, Jin Arjuna, Jin Nakula, and Jin Sadewa who ruled the forest. The five Jinn entered the Pandavas' souls and they requested that their names be used by the Pandavas.
