THE SUNAN BODYGUARD
episode 7m: Heads Rained with Thousands of Hot Needles
“This I have prepared my request, which I wrote on lontar leaves. And I've been packing it with banana leaves. Please, never open it, until all the Fathers defeat the Hunchback. Open and read my request first, then kill the Hunchback if the Fathers really want it.”
The parcel was handed over to Sudarno for storage.
“Alright, Gentlemen. We start training. Remember, this is the only science that can defeat the Hunchback. So, I hope, studied and trained in earnest.”
At the beginning of the 24 people were told to shower shampoo in the Freshan Pool. Then, all are asked to stay at the edge of the pond, offering the god puja. Sudarno.
“Remember the Fathers, even though the hot sun, please do not buy semadi. All you can do, is feel as if you are soaking limited to the neck in the pool, to reduce the heat. Remember my message. As long as you can not do that, then we can not go further to learn the science of Bayu Segoro.”
Kawis Guwo passed.
These 24 people, put in as much effort as possible. At first, it seemed solemn, and smooth. However, when the sun began to scorch, these gentlemen began to feel the heat. Heat in the head, start to make a dizzy head. In fact, it feels like being pricked by a needle.
This state of fatigue and sweaty body, makes their consistency rather difficult. Let alone to imagine as if soaking in the pool water, to maintain solemnity is quite difficult.
They try to survive.
Many residents around see it, and generally view it as common. For those who do things, not only them. Often, Fresh Pool is used to train canoragan science. So, it's not something strange.
The sun was getting hotter, and it started right in the crown.
They felt like the sun was very close. The heat is so piercing. Thousands of needles, as if raining down on their heads.
One person collapsed.
Another one collapsed.
Another one collapsed.
All collapse.
They crawled towards the Fresh Pool, and put their heads in the water. It feels cold immediately.
They looked up.
Wonder.
Because the sun is covered with cloudiness.
“Kok feels hot?”
Everyone looked at each other.
Finally they chose to sit under the waru tree, waiting for the arrival of Kawis Guwo. Waiting until the afternoon and evening did not come.
“Don't we get played by that young man,” chirps one of them.
No one answered. Until everyone falls asleep at night.
They were awakened at dawn.
“Come, gentlemen, start training again. Remember, imagine, the Fathers soaking in the pool water limited to the neck,” said Kawis Guwo who woke up one by one.
Without a word, they immediately took a semadi attitude, then they started semadi.
Kawis Guwo passed.
The second day, not much different. It's even worse.
Not to mention the sunrise, their heads were already like the fall of thousands of needles from above.
“What is this? Kok our head feels rained needles, very sore, hot like the scorching sun,” complained one resident Watu Gede, who decided not to continue semadi, and immediately dipped his head into the water Freshan Pool.
One by one they spread.
Simultaneously dipping the head and the entire body in the Fresh Pool.
They soak for longer, because the feeling of the needle in the crown does not immediately disappear. Although several times buried his head into the water, the feeling of needle rain increasingly sore. Some people to the point of fumbling his hair, but found a strange, just a bunch of hair.
They can't stand it.
Almost crazy.
They began not to be ashamed to shout as loud as possible, and invite the daily life of some people.
“Sick! So sick! Aduuuuuh!”
Only it slid from the mouths of some people, when asked by curious people.
When the sun is right at noon, the pain of thousands of needles in the crown begins to decrease, and gradually disappears, in line with the sun's descent to the west.
“As long as you do not find the true core of the science of Bayu Segoro, the Fathers will be afflicted with pain in the crown. He said he wanted revenge on the Hunchback, should immediately find the true core of Segoro's baby science,” said Kawis Guwo, when visiting at night.
“His pain is for mercy, Adi Kawis,” said Suparno representing.
“True, it really hurts. Hence, discover the true core of this science.”
“What's the point?”
“Search by yourself.”
“How to find it?”
“Ya, find yourself.”
“All in fact, have I convey.”
“Please, convey again.”
“No.”
“Please, Adik Kawis.”
“No.”
All quiet. Kawis Guwo was silent as well.
Longtime.
The silence of the night was cold. The darkness of the night is stirred by the wind.
Suddenly, Kawis Guwo exclaimed:
“Wooden
Ajimu Nyang Ngalam Nduyo
Ora Tau Dipped Rojo.”
“Wood,
Your form Sirno, Ngeplongke Dodo
Agawe Ruso Rogo Manungso.”
“Wood,
Ora Katon Nanging Keroso's
Ora Keroso Nanging Ono.”
“Wood,
Yours Duwe Guno
Gedemu Ngerusak Nganti Sirno.”
“Wood,
Kowe Mung Mahluk
Nurut Sing Moho Kuoso.”
“Wood,
The Ridlone Engkang Moho Luhur
Konco Dadio Sukmo Rogo.”
(Wind, 'em,
Wishing you in the Nature of the World
Never Kissed King.”
“Angin,
Your Being Sirna, Loosen the Chest
“Angin,
Not seen but felt
Not Taste but Ada.”
“Angin,
Your Little One Has Benefits
Your Magnitude Destroys to Destroy.”
“Angin,
You're just a creature
Obey the Almighty.”
“Angin,
The Ridlo of the Most High
Be a Friend of Sukma Raga.”
Everyone listened, without speaking.
Kawi Guwo passed.
“Kakang Suparno, why is Adik Kawis singing like that?” ask one person, after Kawis Guwo is no longer visible in the dark.
“I don't know.”
“Should have, had meaning. If it's just poetry, what do you do?”
Pedanda Sudarno did not answer.
Everyone shut up again.
To get rid of the bone-tickling cold, some people choose to take a walk around the Pool.
Some others took the initiative to find wood to make a fire.
The others just looked while lying covered in spare clothes.
The gathered wood was good, and they began to make fire.
The wind barely blows. Heat fire evenly.
When the wind blows west. Only the person sitting to the west of the fire, felt warm on the face and front body. Meanwhile, the one to the east of the fire, his back began to be tickled coldly.
“Angin... wind... Yes, because this wind conducts heat and cold. Without the wind, the heat of fire we can feel, but when the wind blows to the west. To the east, his back began to be coldly possessed. The wind only delivers, not the maker of heat or cold. Without wind, the hot ones stay hot around it only, the cold ones stay cool around it only,” said one of them.
“True sister, this is all because of the wind. When we make a fire, when the fire was still small, we blow-blown so that the fire enlarges and can burn wood. Also we deliver the wind through the blow,” said Pecdanda Sudarno.
“But, why do our crowns feel like they've been hit by hot needles? What does it have to do with Adi Kawis Guwo's verse, and what does it have to do with the wind?”
“At least, we know, wind is just delivering hot and cold.”
“If you already know, for what, Kakang Darno?”
“No idea.”
Everyone shut up again. Enjoy the heat of the fire.
Some people choose to lie down.
Pedanda Sudarno chose to be a semi-retired. Calms the mind and relaxes the muscles.
Not to mention Pedanda Sudarno entering the relaxation room. He felt the rain of thousands of hot needles clamoring at his crown.
Be late.
Once scattered, but the rain of thousands of hot needles in the crowns increasingly felt.
“Hot, sick... very sick,” mutter Pedanda Sudarno.
Sudarno tried to survive, not to blow his head in the water of Segaran pond.
It's getting hot for a long time. It was as if the tubers were melting, as if her hair was falling out and burning out.
Sudarno kept trying to survive.
At the nadir point. Sudarno could not take it anymore.
Run towards the Fresh Pool, and immediately jump into the water. He could no longer think that the water of the Fresh Pool was so cold.
“Byur!”
The one who lay down immediately sat down, because he was so shocked.
“What's up?”
“Do not know. Kakang Sudarno Semadi. Suddenly he moved and threw himself into the Pond.”
Pedanda Sudarno repeatedly dipped his head in the water. While his whole body was cold. The cold water of the pond seemed to wash all his bones.
Gigi Sudarno. Either because it's cold, either because of the heat of the tubers.
All who had been standing on the lips of the pond, could only look at the puzzled.
Sudarno was severely tormented. He imagined, it would be tormented until noon tomorrow, when the sun had shaken to the west. Because, the incident was yesterday afternoon, the pain in the crown seemed to disappear after the sun turned to the west.
From the darkness, a voice emerged:
“Wood,
Ora Katon Nanging Keroso's
Ora Keroso Nanging Ono.”
(“Angin,
Not seen but felt
Not Taste but Ada.”)
Presumably, Kawis Guwo follows the conversation and behavior of people who will learn the science of Bayu Segoro.
“Bapak Sudarno, do as I said earlier,” cried Kawis Guwo in the dark.
Pedanda Sudarno inched towards the shallows, and could sit cross-legged perfectly.
He started off last.
The rain of thousands of hot needles still torments his crown. The heat is incredible to penetrate the neck shaft, and continue to penetrate to the tailbone. Only the thighs and a little stomach that feels warm, because the water submerged is very cold.
As much as possible Sudarno relaxed and regulated his breathing.
“Wood. Katon nanging keroso. Ora keroso nanging ono,” her mouth muttered the verse slowly.
Sudarno's body shivered. Teeth grinding. It's unclear, because of the heat or the cold.
His friends watched from the lips of the pool. Feeling sorry for.
Darno tried hard to survive.
“Relieve! There was only the wind,” the sound of Kawis Guwo shouting in the darkness.
Darno tried to blend in with nature. Fused with water, fused with heat in the crown.
“Mistaken!”
Darno tried to blend in with the mud.
“Mistaken!”
Darno was a bit restless.
“How to blend with the wind?” pedanda Sudarno Thought.
At that moment, no air blew. But there must be.
“Wind is there. Why?” the sound of screaming from the darkness.
Darno realized. The wind exists, because he can breathe. The wind is not there, it cannot breathe.
“Remember the sparrow,” the sound of shouting in the darkness. “Flapping wings, but can't fly.”
