The Story of the Forecast Swordsman
Against Begal
That afternoon the eating atmosphere became a little tense with a sharp gaze of a grandfather. No one knew what exactly happened between Ki Aswina and Ki Soma. What is clear is that Satria's eyes saw a secret that was deliberately hidden by Ki Aswina. Satria meticulously saw the change in the face full of strokes. Initially only ordinary strokes aged as a result of age, but this time clearly changed with a look of tension.
Satria had glanced at Goddess Sekarwangi who seemed to realize that. But he himself said nothing. The young man was now only able to remain silent in front of the dining table. His appetite instantly disappeared, as soon as he saw Ki Aswina rushing to pack some important items. The eyes of Satria clearly saw an heirloom book put in the folds of his clothes. With a quick motion the wrinkled hand packed some strange objects that Satria did not know.
The wind began to slowly split the silent atmosphere. Their eyes turned back to Ki Aswina, who was already preparing to leave with all the equipment in hand.
"Hi you two, get all your stuff done, we should hurry to meet Ki Soma", shouted Ki Aswina with a rather tense face.
"Alright, we caught up with Kek", Satria replied as she hurriedly packed up her belongings.
Likewise with Goddess Sekarwangi, she also packed without suspicion in the slightest. They did not realize why the suspicion had instantly disappeared. An hour later all had prepared to head towards Ki Soma's place.
"We are going where Kek" asked Satria in the midst of the silence of their journey.
Ki Aswina who was in front turned to Satria, "we're going to head for the city, buy some medicinal ingredients".
Satria could only nod and follow Ki Aswina from behind. The three of them went through a long and exhausting journey.
Half a day's drive, as the sun began to dim somewhat at the western end, the three men arrived at a bustling city. The people in the city were quite friendly with smiles that always flowed from their lips. In addition, they are quite busy with their various activities in the afternoon. Like most people, they live by farming and raising. They came home from the field in the afternoon carrying their crops and livestock.
Satria's amazement stopped when they reached an old tavern where they drank. They rushed in and ordered a place to rest.
"Servant, we ordered three drinks and food" Ki Aswina said as he sat at an empty table followed by Satria and Dewi Sekarwangi.
"What's the drink, sir?" asked the middle-aged maid as she approached Ki Aswina with a tray in her hand.
"Whatever, the important thing is good to drink" replied Ki Aswina short.
"Okay sir, what's the food for, sir?" asked the waiter again with a smile on his face.
The question turned out to make Ki Aswina a little angry and her tone raised. "Whatever, the important thing is good to eat". The narrowed eyes and looks so emotional that the waiter frightened and immediately went to make their order.
Satria turned to Goddess Sekarwangi who looked at the expression of Ki Aswina who was so angry. He could only shake his head without knowing what to say.
"You guys stay here, I want to buy some medicinal ingredients" Ki Aswina said to Satria and Goddess Sekarwangi while rushing out of the shop.
Satria and Goddess Sekarwangi just nodded from his seat looking at Ki Aswina's steps that were getting away and lost from sight. Satria and Dewi Sekarwangi continued their rest while enjoying the food and drinks they had ordered.
"Based on the strange grandfather, he could have left us here" muttered Dewi Sekarwangi while chewing food in his mouth.
Satria turned her head and slightly smiled looking at the expression of the girl who was a little annoyed with Ki Aswina's actions. "Just leave him like that, I'm sure he's not a bad person" Satria said casually.
"What if he's the bad guy, and we're being kidnapped and held hostage?" sahut Dewi Sekarwangi was a little irritated to see Satria who was so relaxed.
"If grandfather is all kinds, we fight him" replied Satria again with a relaxed tone and did not want to take a headache.
Satria's light answer made Dewi Sekarwangi a little annoyed and turned his face to the corner of the store that was getting crowded before dusk. Many residents who stop by and just enjoy warm coffee unwind after working all day.
The twilight in the shop was quite beautiful with the golden red afternoon sunshine. Dewi Sekarwangi slightly raised his face looking out the window. So that beautiful light hit his skin. Satria with her handsome face saw the incident instantly red. He was amazed to see the beauty of the girl in front of him plus her beautiful face was struck by the light.
For a long time they were dumbfounded to drift somewhere, suddenly their views clashed with each other. They put on a timid face with a loving look. There is a feeling that they feel in the heart, but it is difficult for them to express.
They quickly turned their faces away again with meaningful smiles as their eyes looked at each other. Then they both held back in shame. The wind blew gently and closed the twilight was full of romance for Satria and Goddess Sekarwangi.
From the west, some residents were seen running to save themselves and packing their belongings. Satria's eyes continued to pay attention to it and stopped chewing food. He stood up trying to approach someone who came in scared.
"Sorry Ki Sanak, what's wrong? Why run scared like that?" satria asked one of the people there.
The residents came in haste with frightened faces and their breaths stung like they were chasing ghosts.
Almost all of the residents were running away, leaving behind a few guard soldiers guarding the security there. All eyes were now on the group of begal who came in brutally. All the livestock and livestock were forcibly taken. They had the face of a rogue with a mustache and a beard that dangled unkempt. They killed anyone who dared to fight.
Satria scanned the surroundings, it seemed that the guard soldiers were frightened to head them off. The situation became more precarious when the begal tried to seize property and livestock in a house not far from Satria standing.
Satria's face stiffened and her jaw hardened with anger with the treatment of the begals. Without a second thought Satria immediately acted.
"You stay here, I will fight them", exclaimed Satria to Goddess Sekarwangi as she shot towards the begal at high speed.
The frightened Goddess Sekarwangi, could not say anything other than letting Satria advance into the battlefield. The girl was worried that Satria would run amok again. But there was nothing he could do, other than surrender and let him fight while waiting for Ki Aswina.
The high-strength warrior came forward and kicked one of the scumbags into a pile of trash before his sword injured the innocent population.
The begal was surprised and began to grow furious with the actions of Satria who appeared suddenly. Seeing what was coming was the young swordsman, the begal leader got off his horse and prepared to attack.
"How dare you, boy, will I kill you" said the begal full of anger all over his body.
Satria stared at the man. "Cuuuiiihhh, you are nothing more than a loser who dares only oppress the weak", cried Satria by putting up horses ready to attack.
A second later, the front yard of the shop became crowded with the sounds of punches, kicks and stalks. Satria attacked with a continuous kick that made the stagger and retreated for a moment.
By taking a deep breath, the begal leader controlled his body so as not to fall to the ground. He then observed the powerful Satria in the fight earlier.
"Baby, who are you?" ask the leader again in a slightly curious tone.
"It doesn't matter who I am, who obviously left here right now before this hand of mine will lead you to hell" Satria replied grimly hearing the oracle of the begal leader.
"What did you say? You snotty boy", said the begal leader and darted to attack Satria using a sword.
Satria who saw that, immediately acted quickly. He focused all his profound energy on his right hand. Back the golden chakra came out and wrapped Satria's hand.
Satria moved forward and dodged the sword of his enemy. From the left side Satria got a gap to attack.
"Brruuuuuuk".
The thick body of the begal leader collapsed on the ground. The fatal attack from Satria's punch was quite crushing, until the man was killed a few seconds later. Seeing the leader dead, the other begal ran the ridge to save themselves into the middle of the forest.
The tense atmosphere began to melt followed by smiles and excited cries from the surrounding residents. They hailed Satria as the Golden Knights. Residents who saw the incident were so amazed by the golden power of Satria.
Satria stepped up and approached one of the rescued residents. They still looked frightened although a slight smile started to appear on his lips.
"Let's wake up Mother, don't be afraid anymore" said Satria to the middle-aged woman she saved.
"Thank you young man, what's your name?" asked the woman in a tone that was still a little scared from the attack earlier.
"Call Satria" Satria replied as she walked away leaving the woman in her husband's arms.
All eyes were now on the figure of the handsome and valiant young man who was walking in front of them. A charismatic and authoritative figure makes young women fall in love instantly.
In the corner of the old shop, Dewi Sekarwangi waited for Satria with misgivings. His face was finally able to smile again after Satria came without going berserk as it held back a great power. The girl stepped up to run hugging Satria's body tightly. A little sobbing tears coloring the embrace of Goddess Sekarwangi.
"You survived Satria, you were great", whispered Goddess Sekarwangi in Satria's ear.
"I will definitely survive, as long as I hold fast to the principle of truth", replied Satria and then returned the embrace of Goddess Sekarwangi.
Residents' flattery still echoed when Ki Aswina returned and found Satria and Dewi Sekarwangi in the crowd of villagers. From the look on his face he was so anxious and decided to immediately take Satria away from the village.
