What's Wrong Pa

The Story of Prince Kian 3

"How are you doing now, son?". Ask Kuswanto gently to Nimas.

"What happened to me? Where's my strength? Why is it missing?". Nimas asked worriedly when he felt something strange on his body.

"Don't be afraid, son, your power is not lost, but I have sealed it until you are truly able to control it". Kuswanto calmed the heart of little Nimas.

"You take it easy, I'll always protect you even if you don't have your full strength but I'll take care of you". The little banner also calmed Nimas' heart.

"Yes, my son, Panji is right, if you may know, where is your family? Why are you wandering the woods alone and killing so many people?". Ask Kuswanto seriously.

"My family has been tragically killed by them, and I am gathering strength by asceticism near a cave to avenge my family's death, but without me knowing the two people who helped me died because of me". Nimas said with a very sad feeling.

"Where did you find the cave?".

"I don't know, but my grandfather's spirit led me there to gain strength".

Kuswanto pensively heard the words of the little girl in front of him now, how could there be the spirit of a middle-aged man carrying a little girl to a place that is quite creepy.

No one has found the hidden place, and even if it is a subtle creature though it will not bring humans to that place because the power of Kuswanto emanated in that place makes the subtle creatures afraid to get closer to it.

"Who's your Grandpa son? And what was the reason your grandfather took you there?".

"My grandfather was named Setyo, he took me there to be imprisoned while keeping the place so that I could meet with Prince Kian".

"Setyo has a grandchild?". Kuswanto asked in disbelief about what he was hearing right now. "Did he ask you to meet Prince Kian?".

"Yes Uncle".

"Dad, what does that mean?". Ask Panji who was confused when he saw the look on Kuswanto's face.

"It's okay, kid, you play first, let your friend rest, he's probably exhausted".

"Okay Dad, little girl I go first yeah, later if you're healthy again, we'll play". Saying a farewell to Nimas.

"Yes". Reply Nimas.

Panji immediately left the place at the behest of Kuswanto, while Kuswanto still remained in the place, he did not believe that his confidants had grandchildren who were the same age as his son.

"What really happened to Setyo?". Ask Kuswanto without tinkering with Nimas.

"My grandfather and his entire family were gone Uncle for being killed so cruelly, only I was alone, My grandfather was accused of hiding an heirloom treasure left by Kuswanto for the Red Rose village, but my grandfather never hid it because it was an heirloom treasure ordered by Kuswanto to keep it a secret from everyone".

"His entire family was murdered? How can you just stay a kid?".

"I don't know Uncle, the man who raised me just said that before they took me away from the house, he didn't find my mother but found me sleeping soundly by then". Nimas sadly said that to Kuswanto.

Little Nimas told all that he had heard from the man who had helped and raised him to this day to Kuswanto, while Kuswanto listened carefully so that not a single story was missed.

"I'm sorry". Kuswanto said guiltily that he had sacrificed his life for many people just to hide the heirloom.

"What did Uncle say?". Nimas asked in confusion because of the apology from the person in front of him at this time.

"I'm the reason your family was murdered, I'm sorry son, I'm sorry".

"What does Uncle mean? I don't understand at all".

"If a man named Kuswanto was here, what would you do to him, son?".

"Kuswanto is not Uncle's bad guy, Kuswanto has given up a responsibility to my family to guard the treasures in the cave, my grandfather told me in a dream, he said that Kuswanto who he had known all along was a prince, Prince Kian, who had betrayed his kingdom for the sake of saving his people and now he was hiding from the royal family somewhere". Nimas.

"You know too much, son, then what else do you know about Prince Kian?".

"My grandfather's spirit told me that I had to meet Prince Kian in order to control myself at this time, but I don't know where he is today, because since his departure from the Red Rose village, no one knew of his existence until now".

"You found him, son".

"Where's Uncle?".

"He's in front of you right now".

"So you're Prince Kian?". Nimas asked unexpectedly that the figure he had been looking for all this time was already in front of him at this moment.

Kuswanto nodded his head to Nimas, not realizing that the nod made Nimas kneel in front of him, Kuswanto did not stay still, he immediately built Nimas who was kneeling in front of him.

"What kind of son are you doing?". Prince Kian asked in surprise what Nimas had done to him.

"I didn't expect to meet you this time Prince".

"Don't tell me so, son, if it's a message from your grandfather, then from now on I'll be in charge of you, and will try to control the devil in your heart because of that power". Said Kuswanto while rubbing Nimas' hair slowly.

"Thank you Prince".

"Don't call me that, son, now that I'm no longer a Prince but a commoner, now that you're my adopted son, call me Dad like Panji called me earlier".

"But Panger....".

Before his words were finished, Kuswanto immediately pointed his index finger at the mouth of Nimas which made Nimas immediately stop his speech.

"I told you, I'm no longer a Prince so don't call me that".

"Good A...yah". Nimas said with his song when calling the figure in front of him called Father.

Nimas was so happy because he could be like the others who have a complete family as it is today, without him realizing that tears flowed from his eyes.

"No. a. ku ha. her me. her sense of ba. ha. gia". Say Nimas with occasional as much as you like.

Kuswanto rubbed his head gently to calm the little girl in front of him, he did not expect that the little girl was the granddaughter of his confidants while in the Red Rose village.

"Why is she crying?".

Suddenly a voice came from the front door of the room that could surprise both of them, behind the door stood a woman who was none other than the wife of Kuswanto, Rahayu.

"Mas, answer! Why is she crying?". Rahayu asked once again because Kuswanto was not answered quickly at this time.

"It's okay, come with me for a second Deck". Invite Kuswanto while holding his wife's hand to leave the place.

Kuswanto immediately left the place with his wife, after Kuswanto's departure from the place made Nimas could only look at him leaving him in the room.

Kuswanto took his wife out of the room occupied by Nimas at this time, with his curiosity making Rahayu only able to follow in her husband's footsteps without denying the slightest to her husband.

"What really happened, Mom?". Rahayu asked when she was in front of her house with her husband.

"He was the grandson of the man I trusted the most to keep a secret about the cave where I kept the heirloom dagger I told you about Deck". Kuswanto said seriously.

"Setyo has a grandson? Then why would that kid be in the woods alone and attack you Mas?". Rahayu asked curiously.

"The long story of the Deck, I did not expect that it caused his extended family any harm and left him alone, so far as to make him enter into such a bad path that he killed so many people because of the evil force that had possessed his body, I should not have left that place before, he said, I didn't expect that it created a considerable danger".

"What do you mean? Why was Mr. Setyo's family killed and left the girl alone?".

"Setyo's family was accused of hiding a treasure that they thought was supposed to be theirs, but that treasure was the xingsi keris that I had hidden in the prayer, truly an heirloom capable of destroying the world".

"It's a pity that the boy is Mas, then how next Mas?".

Kuswanto was silent for a while, he was so hesitant to say something to his wife, but his wife also had the right to know because a couple was not worthy to hide secrets between the two.

"Sir, I intend to raise him as our son, do you agree with that? He has no one else but us".

"You're serious, Mas?". Rahayu asked with her eyes wide open when she heard from her husband about the plan to raise Nimas as their adopted son.

"What's the Deck? Did you not approve?". Tamya Kuswanto was astonished at the expression shown by his wife.

"How can I not agree with it, my decision is mine as well".

"I'm serious Dek, I can't elevate him as a child if you don't agree to it".

"I don't mind that at all, Mom, but I'm just afraid what if the kid finds out that you have something to do with it?". Rahayu asked in a tone as if she was going to be frightened.

"She already knew Dek, it turned out that Setyo himself came to her and told her everything".

"If it's like that, I feel very happy Mas, because I can have a daughter". Rahayu's smile was so wide.

And finally the two agreed to raise Nimas to be their adopted son, Kuswanto educated Nimas in order to control himself, patiently Kuswanto continued to train him and teach some styles of martial arts specifically women to Nimas.

"In a fight with an opponent, we can read the opponent's movements just by looking at his eyes Nak". Kuswanto said to Nimas and Panji.

"How is it Dad?". Tanya Nimas who began to get used to calling Kuswanto as Father and calling Rahayu as Mother.

"If the person hesitates with the attack he will make then his eye movements will be broken from his focus, if they will attack then his eye movements will change". Kuswanto told Nimas.

Without getting tired even a little Nimas continues to repeat the movements taught by Kuswanto, so that the movements are so beautiful to see but very dangerous when used against someone.

"Follow the movement that you're going to practice on both of you, take a good look, after this I'll ask you to do the same movement as I did". Kuswanto.

"Good Dad". Answer both at the same time.

Kuswanto immediately made some basic movements before Nimas, so that Nimas could see it well so that the martial arts he would convey to Nimas would make Nimas able to learn it easily.

Movement after movement Kuswanto do in front of Nimas and Panji, too, the movements that Kuswanto does are so soft and smooth but each attack can paralyze the enemy easily because of the flexibility of the body used to perform the movement.

After finishing the movement, Kuswanto told his son to do the same movements as what he did in turn, Kuswanto said, although there were a lot of wrong moves when they practiced in front of Kuswanto, Kuswanto taught them patiently and painstakingly until both of them were able to do the exact same movement as the one he did before.

After half a day of learning about martial arts, then Kuswanto taught both about how to use a stick to learn martial arts well and correctly.

"If you make a stick as your weapon, you must hold it firmly so that it does not escape when you face the enemy you will meet".

Nimas and Panji continued to pay attention to how his father gave direction to both, learning martial arts is not an easy thing because we have to accept the risks that will be caused by learning martial arts such as injuries, bruises, bruises, pain, and so forth.

"Akhs...". Nimas sigh when the stick in his hand hit his head when he did a movement to rotate the stick.

"What's up, son?". Ask Kuswanto to Nimas.

"It's okay Dad, it's just that I was wrong to turn this stick around and make this stick stare at my head". Reply Nimas.

"Other times be careful, son, lest the weapons that will protect us be able to hurt ourselves".

"Yes Dad, I'll be more careful going forward".

Whatever is in our hands is able to be a weapon for us if we are able to play it with the appropriate movement, just like the pencil because the pencil is also able to become a secret weapon and easily stick to someone's body if moved quickly.

Learning martial arts is easy if we are able to absorb every knowledge delivered by the coach and are not afraid to make movements that are very difficult to do even with a high risk of injury, what is more difficult is learning to be self-aware.
