A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Pete Rabut 6: Meet the River Cat

*Fighting of Fog Swamp (Pete Rabut)*

Finally Handheld Husk nicknamed Swordsman Heavy Stick went to leave Swamp Mist to run the duties of the Queen of Color Mekararum.

Handheld Chaff will go to the Pelilitan Kingdom area, precisely to the Ukirat Village in the Duchy of Lambemu. Because passing through Bungitan Village, Handheld Husk took a short stop at the house of Village Chief Dugil Ronggeng. The purpose of Handheld Chaff is none other than meeting and releasing longs with Ning Ara, the flower of Bungitan Village.

In addition, Handheld Husk also delivered news about Ning Ana, Ning Ara's younger sister who was now quietly studying at Red Blade School for a month. Dugil Ronggeng and his wife found out their little daughter was fine.

Ning Ara had to be willing when her valiant lover parted, even though she was not satisfied enjoying the release of longing.

Furthermore, the Clasps of Chaff continued their journey towards the territory of the Pelilitan Kingdom.

When the Clasp of Chaff was racing his horse at high speed into the territory of the Winding Kingdom, suddenly a figure appeared running as fast as a horse and as light as a bird on the side of a horse. That figure was an even more beautiful young lady dressed in pink. The girl had two twin swords on her back.

“Sumirah!” call the Clasp of Husk that recognizes the woman nicknamed the Beautiful Crocodile Swordsman.

“Hihihi!” sumirah Laughter while looking at the Chaff Clasp. “So rushed. Are you going to get married, Kang Gengkas?”

“I'm on duty, so I have to quickly arrive.”

“You brought what task?”

“Reclaration.”

“If you do not want to tell, I will continue to follow you,” Sumirah said.

“As of you!”

“Alright! Hup!”

Suddenly Sumirah jumped up and managed to land sitting right behind the body of Clasped Chaff. No doubt, in order not to fall off the horse, Sumirah hugged the waist of the Husk Clasp and tightened her front body onto the young man's back.

“What are you doing, Sumirah?!” shock Clasp Chaff not playing.

“You said ‘terasern’,” kilah Sumirah.

Clasping Chaff then forced to stop his horse running. When the horse stopped, Sumirah still hugged the Clasp of Husk.

“Iya, but not like this I mean,” said Handheld Husk without forcing Sumirah to come down. “What if someone recognizes me or recognizes you?”

“Yaaa, maybe they will think we are husband and wife,” Sumirah replied casually.

“You better find another horse if you intend to follow me,” said Handheld Husk.

“I have no money to buy a horse,” replied Sumirah without wanting to get off the horse's back.

“I will buy you, as my thanks for giving you a hint about the Beggar Batok Bolong,” said Handheld Husk.

“If so, I stay here until we arrive at Munggihan Village in front there,” Sumirah said.

“Good.”

Clasping Chaff finally continued his horse's run. He chose to give up, although actually in his heart he felt won a lot, because he could feel the eternity of Sumirah's chest along the horse. Fortunately, the horse did not feel the resurrection of the bird which was blocked by the saddle.

Upon arrival at Munggihan Village, then Sumirah down from the horse Handheld Husk. He did not feel any discomfort at all because he had given his chest to the handsome young man.

They were looking for someone who would sell horses. A handful of Chaff led his horse.

“Kakang Gap, after the death of your lover, of course you do not have a new lover anymore. Yes, ‘kan?”

“Already.”

“Agnitating!” rutuk Sumirah disappointed.

“You are beautiful, there must be many young warriors who are interested in you,” said Handheld Husk.

“Yes a lot, but they only like my body, not my whole self. Unlike Kakang who although a little basket eyes, but really appreciate lovers,” said Sumirah. “Who is Kakang Gengpas' new lover?”

“A country girl,” replied Handheld Husk.

“Ah, if so, I better be Kakang's lover from among the warriors. I promise, will not be jealous of Kakang's village lover,” Sumirah said.

“You are beautiful. Actually I also do not matter if you become my lover, especially if you want to be loyal. However, I do not have the heart and do not want to hurt my lover,” said Handheld Husk.

“Agnitating!” rutuk Sumirah again with disappointed mimic.

After a long search, they finally found a horse dealer in the village, although not a big party horse dealer. Sumirah's skill in seducing it turns out to make horse sellers want to give a little cheap price.

“Remember, we can't be slow!” the Word Handheld Husk.

“Good.”

The two of them then continued on their way to the Duchy of Lambemu.

The tightness in riding made the two more silent. They arrived at Ukirat Village to coincide when the sun had already sunk in the west

After asking the villagers, Handheld Husk then got a clue where the residence of the gold craftsman named Cat River.

The River Cat residence turned out to be where the gold craftsmen worked. Even at night they work with a lot of torch lighting. There were about ten men and a woman working in a board-walled place on the right and left. On the top was a plank floor that was also without the front and back walls. Uniquely, the roof is made of an arrangement of bamboo slats.

Some people who work on the second floor, they pursue tables and work materials in the form of gold jewelry that is still rough. Unlike the people who worked on the ground floor below, they worked with fire, embers and water. There was ordinary water, but there was also hard water.

The arrival of two horses ridden by two warriors, attracted the attention of the workers. A bare-chested man, big-bodied and muscular, came to meet the unknown guest.

The two horses stopped. Clasps of Husk and Sumirah descended from his horse.

“Who to look for, Kisanak, Nisanak?” asked the sweaty man, indicating that he had worked hard before.

“We want to meet the River Cat,” replied Handheld Husk.

“Whose are you?” ask a man who is almost half a century old.

“I Handheld Husk, Heavy Stick Swordsman. And this is Sumirah, Beautiful Crocodile Swordsman,” replied Handheld Husk.

“Cat River is not dealing with a martial swordsman,” said the big man was cold.

“I was sent by Gusti Ratu Colour Mekararum,” said Handheld Husk, making the big man somewhat tickled.

“So you brought the royal thing, Kakang?” asked Sumirah who was surprised because she did not expect about the task carried by Handheld Husk.

“Iya,” replied Handheld Husk while nodding.

“I am the River Cat. Wait a minute!” said the man.

The big man who claimed to be the River Cat then went to the barrel. He dabbed water with his hands and washed his sweaty face and body. Once it was a bit clean, he left the gold processing place.

“Mari!” take the River Cat to both guests.

The river cat stepped away towards a simple house that was a few spears away from the gold processing place. Clasping Chaff and Sumirah immediately followed by pulling his horse.

The river cat received both of his guests in the living room of his house. In the corner of the room there are a number of tools related to gold crafts. However, there was no gold jewelry visible in the room.

“Gusti Ratu wants to be made hair skewers like the River Cat once made,” said Handheld Husk.

“How much?” tanya Handheld Husk.

“One Only.”

“Payday!”

“This!”

A Handful of Chaff thrust a bag of money in front of the River Cat.

“As many prices as before,” says Handheld Chaff again.

“Please come in about two more weeks,” said Cat River.

“Hah! Two weeks? But I need it a day or two today,” said Handheld Husk.

“The payment should be added,” said Cat River.

“Already expected,” says Handheld Husk. He then returned to spend the same bag of money and was given to the front of the River Cat.

“Back tomorrow morning!” the River Cat.

“Good.” (BH)
