The two fighters who had faced each other had begun. Because there was an extra break for 10 minutes. It seems like the committee is discussing something.
The atmosphere in the pendopo area began to feel tense for those watching. Enthusiasm is very high about 60 people who are former participants who lost. How not, the two fighters who entered the final are of different gender. The name of Princess Kirana is not included in the predictions of the majority of people. Not at all because of women. I thought I would survive until the semi-finals. But Leo who became the opponent of Puput, who is an envoy from Garut's padepokan, was indeed from the beginning. Considering he was the champion of two official silat matches at national level.
The sheer volume of chatter whispers of a handful of people gambling is equally strained. No one has yet bet on choosing Princess Kirana. All Leo pro gamblers. No one wants to risk losing if they have to choose Princess.
"This is really. Can cancel the bet if no one chooses the Princess. Cepetan.dah want to start!" The betting initiator said quietly to three of his friends who intended to take part in the bet.
"Okay, 500 grand yeah. I choose Princess. Let's lose too.comfort the same geulis face. Who knows who you want to meet." An ash-worn man issued a red sheet of money handed over to the initiator.
"Manuh don't dream. But look at the beginning is the candidate of the lakinya, was uing ngadenge (i heard)." A guy who wears a black hat.
Make the other two laugh. "Well, lo diobral face on the fifth leg will also not be sold. Especially to be a rival onoh." All were still looking towards Rama who was talking whispering with Puput. Be betting 500 thousands done four people. Three to one.
"Please pay attention to all the colleagues!" The MCs took the role in the final minutes the fight began. "There are three participants who will add a prize for champion 1. Please to the concerned to announce yourself."
Not only did the audience focus on the three seniors who were now standing in the middle of the arena, but also Puput and Leo who were sitting in two different corners.
"Previous thanks to the Acil kang who has successfully held the SILATurahmi Jawara event as well as in the framework of halal bihalal and his birthday. As a sense of pride and respect, I will add a prize for 1 champion of two million rupiah." The first participant conveys his prakata. Responded to applause from the audience.
The second player takes over the mic. "From me the same. Two million rupiahs." Re-received by applause.
The third participant who is a businessman from Tasik received a mic. "If from me, as a respect for the existence of female warriors who reached the highest level. So if the Princess is the champion, this is the Vario bike I give for her." While brandishing the motor and STNK keys. The applause of the audience grew louder hearing the tantalizing gift.
"BPKB is still in leasing huh, kang?" A spectator's chirp that produced a crowd of laughter.
"This is a cash motor. BPKB is safe at home. Easy..later will be sent." Answer the participants calmly in response to the audience's speech.
Concerns were on Rama. Staring at Puput who responded to the announcement with a wide smile and sparkling eyes. "Neng, baby. Don't be ambitious. Remember as you said. Nothing to lose. Without a single champion predicate you just want to say what brand's latest car? I'm buyin!"
Puput stared at Rama with a full highlight of affection. "Thank you for being heard. No need for a car. Just give a sweet speech like that for a booster." Both of his eyebrows were raised upwards.
"Love you, Neng. The first winner in my heart. Passion, darling!" Rama patted the back of the Frog's hand, transferring motivation to the lover's heart booster.
...***...
Two fighters from different angles returned to the center of the arena covered in a 1 cm thick mat. Body protector is installed in the body. Not to forget the protective kema luan has also been used by fighters. Stand up straight and bow your head in salute to the chaperone, the jury, and the match leader. The referee began to remind the rules to be obeyed. If you break it will be disqualified.
The pupil is more focused on scanning his opponent to set up a strategy. He with a height of 162 cm facing Leo who is estimated to be 175 cm high. Within seconds his brain had to make a clever decision. Attacking or defending.
The referee gave a warning. The prestige event is ready to begin. The audience locked their mouths, drugged to the two fighters who started to put up the horses. Two jurors must be more observant in making judgments. Because the final round is more focused on perfection of style and technique.
Zaky stands by Rama's side. They watch in the front row to the right according to the angle of the Puput is located. The focus should be split in two, to the arena and to Rama. Because before that, Puput had given him a task.
"Zaky, look after Brother Rama. He has not seen silat. Do not let Brother Rama deketin Teteh. Hold it until the final round!"
And he saw the look of tension on Rama's face. Biting the lips and holding the breath during the first round, the opponent's kick almost hit the chest of the Escape.
"Sir, just sit down! There are Aris kangs with Aul Tea." Zaky held off half-pressing Rama's thigh which would rise to meet Puput while breaking into the second round.
"But---"
"Let's just focus, brother. There's Kang Aris as an advisor." Zaky and Rama both stared at Puput who was listening to Aris' direction. And Rama had to obey. Moreover, the rest time is short only 1 minute.
Gong spanked. The second round begins.
Puput began to enjoy unlike during the first round which was a little tense and almost lost points if Leo's kick hit the body protector. He managed to evade by presenting defense techniques by paying attention to the pattern of steps back to the beginning. The duration of the final round is shorter only 1.5 minutes each round, should be utilized as best as possible.
Let's attack, Leo.
Puput looking forward to the action of Leo who put the side horses. It can already be read that the full-power punch attack is ready to attack him. And.....
The defense begins. The stomach is no longer evasive. Catch Leo's hand, counterattack. Perform multiple hand attack and leg kick techniques quickly in seconds. Leo is not a fussy opponent. He also gets a fight and fast. Immediately change the pattern of steps while inserting a punch towards the right rib of the opponent. And...
"STOP!" Referee mengptimatum. Time to break 1 minute into the third round. Final round of determination.
The sweat that poured out on both of Rama's foreheads was ignored. It feels forgotten to blink watching the skil of the two fighters who look balanced. Of course what he was worried about was Puput. Prayers continue to be said in the heart so that the lover is fine.
The decider gong was hit back. The vibe added a tense aura to all the spectators who seemed to be exhaling a long breath. Who is the new SILAT-urahmi champion this year.
Bismillah. la hawla wala kuwwata.
Every time you start a round, Puput does not forget to read the prayer in your heart. The final round of the next 1.5 minutes became a determination. It prepares to form a pattern of steps without crossing the boundary line.
He did not wait for Leo's attack. This time, he attacked first. A balanced duel is back. Attacking, evading, repelling each other and reversing attacks quickly.
The ultimate technique results from the father's cleaver, which has never been issued by his manager. Now presented Puput. As fast as lightning with a loud screech, full strength in the right leg, with a half-flying twisting motion, his full-power leg straight kick successfully hit the opponent's back.
Leo limbung's. Utilized the last seconds of the puput by entering the technique of cutouts and lockouts. Clamping the leg so that Leo falls and locks it by pressing the knee on the opponent's back.
With a breath of breath both fighters returned to their respective corners. Welcomed by the escorts. Aul quickly gave a bottle to Puput.
Zaky is still on standby escorting Rama. "Patience first, Brother. Haven't. Later reduce Teteh points. Wait for the winner announcement!" he said to scare Rama not to first scatter to Puput.
Rama rubbed a rough face. It's already impatient. I feel very eager to hug Puput. If you have heart disease maybe from earlier it was so tense. Total duration of 9 minutes that drain the soul emotions.
The jury has negotiated. The referee stepped into the middle of the arena calling the two fighters to stand to his left and right. The referee holds his second arm. All the spectators held their breath. Waiting for who will be the winner. Given the action of fighters in plain sight looks a draw.
Rumbling applause and boisterous cries rang out as the referee raised Princess Kirana's hand. Strengthened as a new champion SILATurahmi.
...***...
"Kang Ramdan's blood is really coming down with you, Put. Great." Kang Acil entertains the champion and his family at his table. Everyone was enjoying a buffet lunch. Award has been given. 10 Million cash for 1 winner following the rotating trophy. Cash of 6 million and 3 million respectively for champions 2 and 3.
The pupil responded with a smile. "All the sisters also learned silat. Zaky was chosen to join the porda, kang." glanced for a moment at Zaky whose henchmen strangled his plate.
Kang Acil nodded. "good. Kang Ramdan's descendants must continue to excel." He recalled the past togetherness with his late father Puput who became his senior in Padepokan.
"By the way, when is this tea getting married? Don't forget to invite all the members." Kang Acil switched topics. Staring at Puput and Rama.
"God willing this year. Wait for the invitation from us." Rama answered. Smiling obliquely at the Soup who turned his head and looked at him with a surprised look.
The next event made Rama have to stroke the chest, keep a friendly smile, even though the heart is still. How not, people in all-black uniforms with orange color logos with the words SILAT-turahmi queue up to take a selfie with Puput. There are rame-rame photos, there are selfies both, there are also those who ask him to be a photo kang. New celebrity tubs.
"Sorry, it's a bit tenuous, Mas!" Rama chided a man who wanted a selfie. Which he thinks is too close to the arms of the Escapees. He is like a bodyguard that is on standby to set a safe distance for the special person he controls.
"Put, wait!" Leo held back the steps of the Puput who was walking towards the parking lot. "I searched inside. Why didn't you tell me you were going home? he also got the look of Rama and Aul. While Zaky gets the task of bringing home the vario, a gift from the participants.
"This is your gift!" Continue again to tackle the Escape who will speak.
Puput. "No, Leo. That's your gift. I wasn't serious about it."
"A knight breaks his promise." Straightly, Leo still held out an envelope to be received by Puput.
"And true knights never gamble." Telak, Puput reversed the counterattack. Make Leo speechless.
"That's your right gift. Thank God my gift is big enough. Excuse me, I'll go home first!" The puput leaves Leo who is still sculpting. The man did not expect with the knight soul that Puput had.
You deserve to be crowned champion.
He stared at the pace of the black pajero that drove out the gate.
"Steh, was Leo betting?!" Aul expressed his curiosity after the car drove far away from the residence of the Acil kang. Passing the bridge below is the citanduy river whose water flows rapidly and rumbles after a night of heavy rain.
"Yes. Leo who abstains first." said Puput who sat next to the driver.
"What's the bet?!" Aul wanted to know. Swipe sitting to the right seat to see the sister's face from the side.
"If Teteh wins, the runner up prize will all be awarded."
"If you lose?!" Urge Aul because Puput does not continue the story.
"If Teteh loses, must be invited to dinner and watch five times."
The car that was suddenly marginalized was accompanied by sudden braking because it was stepped on at once by Rama, surprising Puput and Aul. Until the body is pushed forward. Lucky to be able to hold because the car was at a speed of 40 km/h.
"God. That kind of bet you accept?!" Rama ignored the grunts of Puput. More shocked after listening to the chat of Puput and Aul just now.
"Try saying it. I'll get that Leo."
"Patience.patience. I'll win." The pupil said softly. Trying to quell Rama's annoyance.
"But if you lose. You have to dinner and watch it as it's grumpy. IT'S DELICIOUS!" Rama's inflamed, still not accepted.
Aul started to tense up from being a dialogue spectator of the two people in front of him.
"Don't tell dong, Aa. That's not happening. Even if it happens, the dinner must ask to be escorted with you." Lipped smiling slanted. Still trying to seduce the other.
"I still don't take it." Rama shook his head with a bent face. "Do I have to call Mami Papi so that tomorrow I can come rame-rame to your house?!
Puput stared with a shrunken forehead. "You want demo?! So far away." it's his turn to be upset. Consider Rama childish. Fold your hands around your chest and turn your face towards the window.
Aul who heard until shocked and gaping. Want to interrupt the words of the brother who misunderstood.
Ihh the miss lola.
Only inward, because seeing Rama exhales a long breath.
