Pangkalima Mandau Fly
The past of the siwara family

when he was about to enter the room, his footsteps immediately stopped. somehow there was a sense of doubt in his heart.

"please enter the base, one of the elders has been waiting for your arrival."

"thank you," he said in astonishment as he looked around.

he entered the room and saw a very old man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room.

"sit down, you used to come here with your father that is Rumpayak pangkalima and your grandfather pangkalima nek nanggon, at that time you were only five years old"

said the old man who made the pangkalima confused to say what, yes also sat down while placing a mandau beside him right in front of the old man.

"what did Grandpa call me here?"

"sorry before if I've lied to you, there's a lot I have to tell you."

"you obtained the title of the antangkalima, not without purpose and intent, that title is the legacy of your grandfather that was continued by your father Pangkalima Rumpayak and now that title is on you."

your father was also a very great man, he was able to solve every problem that happened in our binua, he said, but unfortunately one time when your mother died after giving birth to you she became a gloomy and did not talk much until one day this village was attacked and it fought like there was no purpose.

although the victory is on our side but it is unfortunate that the war that lasted for 4 days managed to eliminate the life of your father, the death of the Rumpayak base was a deep wound for the binua at that time.

you were so small back then that we agreed not to tell you about the death of your father because you were only 5 years old.

so it's only natural that you don't fully recognize them.

not long after that event your grandfather Pangkalima nek nanggon died in a state of severe pain due to a very old age, and I still remember one last message from your grandfather, you know, I remember one last message from your grandfather,

he said not to introduce you to the world of war. Yes, he wants you to be an ordinary person.

but what is the power of this binua if without the descendants of nek nanggon. indeed there are many pangkalima here but there is nothing that matches the ability of Mandau flying which can only be controlled by the descendants of nek nanggon only.

there was an attempt we wanted to keep you out of the war and Mandau was flying, but we failed.

including making you a place to live far from the village, so that you do not meet the Mandau, but how surprised we all. once when you were 10 years old the Mandau started looking for you until you were with the Mandau even though you were not yet able to fully master it.

hearing the story, Pangalima just sat quietly while he remembered a little of his past that was true as what was told by the grandfather.

"now what should I do grandpa."

"be able to practice inner strength, for if your inner strength is weak you will be controlled by the Mandau and only become undead" said the old man in a stern tone.

"can Grandpa help me ?"

"at this very old age to walk on the porch of the house I must be helped, how can I help you.

said the man who looked very old and old with a sad feeling.

"i think this is all I can tell you, next time we'll talk again"

"use your abilities for this son of a bitch, don't be provoked to ally yourself with the devil once in a while."

"thank you, Grandpa, for telling me this."

the old man who was about 70 years old tried to get up from his seat, but was unable, the grandmist who saw it immediately helped and drove the grandfather to his room. and yes, go directly to the terrace of the house which is very large and has many rooms in it.

"it's best to rest in the room."

"for now I can't rest in peace" said Pangkalima, who seemed to have a burden on his mind, hearing the words of Serunti's virgin leave without a word coming out of his mouth.

the night also arrived Wek rontek and timanggung seen approaching the base.

"what are you doing here?"

"i just sit while enjoying the atmosphere of this village, said Pangkalima answer questions Wek rontek.

"what's your next plan ?"

"tomorrow I'll be back in the woods, I'll train even harder."

"i already know what you think the base is, but it would be nice for while you train at my house alone, tomorrow I and Dara Serunti will also return to the village, I hope you accept my offer."

"alright, I do need a counselor right now."

dara Serunti who from earlier listened to their conversation from behind the door looked happy and smiled to himself.

while elsewhere shoes assisted by Yusak go to the traditional dance that is always held almost every night in the village,

yusak suddenly released his hand carrying shoes and passed up on stage to dance.

"hey Yusak what are you doing why are you leaving me alone ?"

" you better watch from there."

yusak said as he ran, while Yusak was cool in dancing shoes just silently could not do anything, his wound made him growled plus Yusak who always teased him earlier.

not felt the night was too late pangkalima looks very sleepy, he also got up from his seat and walked to his room which is located at the end of the row of rooms in the house.

"you're gonna sleep first, then,

"yes, why haven't you slept with Serunti,

"somehow tonight I can't close my eyes" said Dara Serunti, who looked very sleepy,

"but on your face you're already looking very sleepy, you better try to close your eyes because tomorrow we're going to travel quite a distance." said pangkalima while opening the door of his room and without knowing the feelings of the virgin Serunti he went straight into his room and left the virgin Serunti alone outside the room.

soon after Yusak and shoes came, Yusak was drunken carrying injured shoes, their clothes looked dirty like they were often uprooted on the road,

"eh Serunti you haven't slept either, you better sleep this very late at night,

"yes well" said Serunti, answering the words of the shoes as he entered his room.

"eh shoes where's your room ? you walk alone tired once I carry you".

"we're in front of my room, you better head to your own room."

"alright" said Yusak, who was drunk and walked sideways while occasionally holding on to the hallway wall.
