"Hahaha !!! Want to run to where else you are," Tumenggung Surotanu laughed open to hear the reports of his men.
"Prepare all special forces working under command. We can't mess around, they're a trained group. Let's go, I'm really impatient," Tumenggung Surotanu immediately rode his gallant horse.
Together with his main bodyguards, the Four Demonic Pedals (Ki Beringin, Nyai Totol, Sialang, and Reksono) they are recurrent criminals who are pulled to become a posse. Not wrong, because with that at least they no longer commit street crimes. The case is different when the crime occurs in the guise of the security of the kingdom.
The convoy of troops made a rumbling sound from the stomping of the horse legs that echoed on the dusty road. The dust floated in the air, like the body of a huge snake surging along the path. The whole community looked, figuring out who was passing by. So many arguments and views of those who contributed to the movement of the soldiers attacked the rebel group. At least the soldiers said so.
Dashingly, Tumenggung Surotanu came down from the horse's back when he arrived at the guard post. There, several hulubalangs have been waiting. Including Mala Physician who sat trembling in the corner of the room.
"Tabib, can you be trusted?" tanya Tumenggung Surotanu's.
"A-ampuun, forgive Gusti Tumenggung's servant. Everything I said was true. Servants do not dare to lie .." replied Physician Mala.
"I wish so too. That way you can enjoy the rest of your life. Now leave! Recalling your many services, I released you from all charges," Tumenggung Surotanu's hand shook, ordering the Mala Physician to leave immediately.
After that, Tumenggung Surotanu returned to the middle of the army. Lead them to continue their journey to surround the hiding cave Jatmiko and friends.
Tear drops flowed in the corner of the Mala Physician's eye. He felt so guilty for not being able to endure the pain that he betrayed Jatmiko. Whatever reply he would get later, the Mala Physician accepted it with open arms. Including when Jatmiko will come and demand a reply. A piece of his life, he will give it.
"Sorry ...."
Ah, suddenly the Mala Physician remembered something. At the very least he could tell of the impending attack. Thus, Jatmiko can anticipate or try to escape. Mala's doctor placed her luggage at the guard post, she ran across the road. Towards one of the reconnaissance trees that are always occupied by Jatmiko's men.
"Huuuhhh .. huuuhhh ..." The breath of the Mala Physician went up and down, but he continued to force himself to keep running up the cliff. No matter the feet that bleed from stepping on the thorny grass.
After a long run, the Mala Physician began to feel his head twitching. The stamina he had was forced to keep running up the hill. Meanwhile, the surveillance tree he was heading to was not yet visible.
"No. I must be strong! I can't give up!" he said in his heart, encouraging himself.
Bruk! The Mala physician fell. His body had been shaken, no longer strong to keep running. But the Mala Physician immediately got up and continued on his way. No matter what his heartbeat is getting irregular. If you have to be wretched, he doesn't care anymore.
Finally .... The tip of the surveillance tree is visible. Mala's physician walked in a moment, so he was sure that the person on duty could look up to him. The Mala physician waved his hand, asking the guards to approach him. Not enough that, the Mala Physician used his yellow scarf to provoke the attention of the guards in the reconnaissance tree.
°°°
Meanwhile, in the cave hiding, Jatmiko looks so confused. His mind raged overlapping, perhaps his instinct for an oncoming attack made Jatmiko's heart even more unsettled. Not to mention about Kemuning who is now starting to be under the control of Danur Cakra, the burden of Jatmiko's mind is getting complicated. Cakra did look like a kind-hearted figure, but the buzzing story of the Dragon Swordsman Krishna was far from what he witnessed. The possibility of manifesting and theatricality feels so great. Getting Kemuning's heart is the goal, see later if he has succeeded. His true nature is visible.
"Dad, what's wrong?" ask Arsita who saw the baldness on her father's face.
Jatmiko smiled wryly, her son did not know what was weighing on her mind. All this time, no one has been Jatmiko's interlocutor. He was one of those people who was so good at keeping secrets.
"It's okay. I'm just worried about the kids. You see how they are now," replied Jatmiko. What he meant by children were circus performers.
"Dad don't lie. I know, that's not all you think about. Seen from the face of the father who was so depressed," Arsita replied. What he said was all true.
"It's .. It's good you don't need to know. It's my own father's business" Jatmiko gently stroked his daughter's shoulders.
"I know, you're keeping something from me. Aye right? But it doesn't matter, I just don't want anything bad to happen to dad" Arsita tried to smile.
"Thank you, yeah. You are indeed the best child," Jatmiko smiled. The father and son then hugged each other.
"Tolooong !!! Tolooong !!!" a scream entered the cave.
The scream instantly made the atmosphere hot. Almost everyone came to greet. They question what happened.
"Assaults! The attack!" with an irregular breath, the scout reported.
"attacks? What attack?! Relax ... speak slowly," Ki Wadas gave the man a glass of water. After drinking, he immediately explained.
As usual, he was sitting on a reconnaissance tree, doing the routine task of watching the surrounding area. From the incident, he caught something moving behind the leaves. Once confirmed, it turned out that it was a human who waved a hand. It was not enough that alone, the person added a cloth to ask for help.
"After being sure, then I come down closer. Katisawa ... Mala physician, that man is Mala Physician. He said that Tumenggung Surotanu and troops were heading to this place. Mala's doctor asked us to pack up and escape immediately" he concluded.
"WHAT?!" of course they were all very shocked.
Ki Wadas stroking chest. It felt like just a few hours after they inhaled a breath of calm, suddenly there was news that was very unpleasant.
"Then let's go!" take Jatmiko to her friends.
"No! If we run this time, and when, like cats and rats, when can we breathe freedom? We must not retreat, we must fight this tyranny!" cut Watu Galing.
"Really! This is the time we show them, we are not a weak group that can be trampled. You know who Surotanu is? He was a demon figure in a god uniform. Better to die in a dirt than to live uselessly!" Gunda Soka.
The two men .. their sentence was in the form of provocation whose purpose was to burn the fighting spirit, so that the circus players would join to help them fight against the royal soldiers.
"We?! Who do you mean by us?" Ki Wadas actually defended his brothers, not Jatmiko.
"Owh .. hahahaha! It really doesn't make any sense. Ki Wadas, I didn't expect it to turn out that you were a rotten man!" Jatmiko pointed at Ki Wadas face. There is no longer any respect for the leader whom he once respected.
"It's up to you what you think, but obviously we have the right to determine where our feet go" replied Ki Wadas.
"Kepa*rat! Turns out you're the traitor, you old bastard doesn't know!" Rangga. As a child, he could not accept to have his father judged.
Not just a speech, but Rangga immediately threw a punch at Ki Wadas. No longer did he regard the middle-aged man as a leader, but rather a rotten heart that could not be trusted.
Whoa! Whoa! The attack launched by Rangga only hit the wind. Ki Wadas can avoid such attacks easily.
The fight is not worth it still continues. Now turned Ki Wadas who attacked Rangga. Although it appears that he did not intend to harm Rangga, but still the attack is very dangerous.
Jatmiko was originally about to help, but her movements were blocked by Watu Galing. The fight of fellow friends was fierce inside the hiding cave. Differences of opinion make them want each other bloodsuck. Though the real enemy is in sight, but they are divorced.
"Cakra, what the hell is this? Release!" Kemuning put away the hand of Danur Cakra that suddenly felt his hips.
"Heh, the road is hard, look! You don't have to think anything," Cakra again forced to hold Kemuning, even though this time it was just his hand.
"Don't look for your chance, yeah!" Kemuning snorted annoyed. He had never been touched by a man, it was only natural that his emotions were easily provoked.
"Yes, yeah. Onion!" Danur Cakra always answered as if listening, but did not change anything at all. Kemuning's words were only a passing wind.
Over time also Kemuning will get used to, the inner Cakra. He remembered Suhita, Cakra often fantasized that Kemuning would turn into a spoiled figure Suhita. How happy Cakra would be if it were true.
"Hhhh, why smile? You're still sane, aren't you?" Kemuning holding Danur Cakra's forehead, it could be a child as late as possible.
"You're the one who's driving me crazy, so you have to take responsibility!"
"Ihhh ... weird shit!"
But the strange thing is just kemuning. He seems frightened whenever Danur Cakra approaches his trauma reappears, but instead he is unable to get far from Cakra. It always shakes when Cakra touches it, even if it only holds hands. But never get angry, let alone have to curse if Cakra forces it to do so. Very strange indeed, the taste always appears without explanation.
"Sttt !!!" Danur Cakra crosses her index finger over her lips. Ask Kemuning to stop grumbling.
The sensitivity that Danur Cakra had, made him able to hear and feel the vibration of battle energy even though the distance was quite far. The ability of Danur Cakra has reached the perfect stage, he is not a new swordsman learning the sport.
"There's a fight, let's go back," Danur Cakra jumped lightly, leaving behind only a dumbass. Let alone running after, clearly he had to save energy.
"Heiii is a madman! How's me?" yell Kemuning.
Danur Cakra chuckled, he deliberately did just that, pretending to leave Kemuning was certainly not without purpose. Cakra just wants the girl to be more dependent on him, including this time. Surely Kemuning needs the help of Cakra to quickly be able to return to his friends.
"You should know, the fight came from inside the cave. I was afraid something unwanted would happen. How can I be late for having to walk like a circumcision bride with you. That's right!"
"I don't care! You have to take me!"
"Alright, if you insist!"
Not yet Kemuning blinked his eyes, Danur Cakra had returned and immediately carried his body.
"Nrt ..." Yellowly gasping, he did not expect Cakra to do that much.
In conscious, maybe this is the first time Kemuning was carried by a man. It feels unexplainable. Mixing into one. But as usual, although angry but Kemuning not struggling.
The faces of the two were so close that Danur Cakra could feel the warmth of Kemuning's breath. The beautiful lips nan ranum, want to taste Danur Cakra make as lunch, must taste very delicious and also fresh. But ... Danur Cakra was still sane, he would not drop his pride to such a low. It's a matter of time, the flower becomes a pistil, and the pistil is sure to become a fruit.
The fight was almost over when Danur Cakra arrived. Of course the victory belongs to Ki Wadas and Watu Galing. The fight that was made so fair. There were so many eyes looking but no one tried to break. It seems that they are equally hesitant to determine the attitude. What's more, Ki Wadas and Watu Galing are considered better able to maintain safety than Jatmiko who clearly have lower abilities.
"Cakra, what has happened, what is this? Why are they fighting each other?" Kemuning looked so shocked to see Jatmiko and Rangga who were barely able to fight. Both bodies were injured.
Danur Cakra was clenching with emotion, his molar teeth until they rattled. His gaze could not be separated from the figure of Watu Galing. The talkative stage, Danur Cakra immediately scattered into the field of action.
OH, BAAMM !!!
One blow of power within the Danur Cakra unleashes to separate them, creating distance between the involved fights. However, it could be said that the punch that Danur Cakra unleashed was actually heavier towards Watu Galing and Ki Wadas, forcing the two men to retreat due to the impact.
"Should you use an arrow to stop the flapping of a bird's wings? I can guess, this isn't all a game. If you want a worthy opponent, here I am. Let's advance!" challenge Danur Cakra.
A stranger, not from among them, but dare to take a stand. It should be a whip in itself for those, who are members of a circus group, who he says have made a promise to look after each other.
