RICH PRANAJA HEIR TO TIRTANALA
EPS 16 HEART THIEF
HEART THIEF
Thief of hearts, you have thrown away my worries. Remove any remaining wounds.
It's so hot. A soft, whistling wind is unable to cool the scorching sun. The long dry season makes everything dry. Dust and earth flew in the air, as three giant buffaloes went on a rampage chasing after Ki Demang Wanasepi's prince, Raden Ayu Setyariyaning Ameswari Dyah Pitaloka.
In one breath the strong and sharp horns of the buffalo will tear his body apart, People are already screaming in fear. Their faces were so anxious that their beloved daughter would be wounded by the ferocity of the buffalo.
“Den Ayuu! Awaaasss!!” they shouted at each other.
In a precarious situation. One body figure suddenly shot towards Riyani. His two strong hands hugged the girl's body, then both of his legs stomped at the right moment. The two bodies soared high into the air, avoiding the lunge of the drunken buffalo.
The auxiliary angel hugged Riyani's body so tightly. The girl could even feel her sigh sweeping across the skin of her face. Their faces were so close, that their noses that taper like the corners of a star touched each other. As soon as it fell to the ground, the two rolled on the ground.
Then swiftly, the young man raised Riyani's body and sat her under a shady mahogany tree.
“Please wait here Den Ayu,” said.
Riyani did not say anything, as the young man rushed back to the street. He took a red umbrella that was released from Riyani's hand, then twisted around to distract the horned animals.
The three buffaloes who had just hit the empty place turned back around. Then beat his attention to the figure of the young man holding a red umbrella. The buffalo took a swing, then began to run quickly towards his target. Upon their imminence they immediately lunged down with their heads lowered, relying on their extremely pointed and carved horns.
“Moo!! Moo!!”
The young man stood quietly. Both of his legs were stretched. His hands were firmly held beside his body. However, once the buffalo is within one fathom, its right hand is turned backwards from bottom to top.
“Godham Elephant Blow!”
His right hand that was lifted up then lowered quickly and strongly, pointing directly above the head of the front buffalo.
Hiyaa!
“Private!!”
Sounds like a crumbling bone. The two front legs of the giant buffalo were slipping into the ground as deep as one cubit.
His movements immediately stopped, red blood mixed with white brain fluid flowed from the ear hole, mouth and nose. The buffalo died with a crushed head bone, poranda porcupine.
Hiyaa!
The young man's body shot into the air avoiding the lunge of the two buffalo behind him. Hap! Both of his legs landed right behind the two buffaloes that ran hand in hand. Then he held the two tails that dangled with both his strong hands. Drawn the tails of the two buffaloes, then swung into the air. Swirled around quickly before being thrown onto the more airy ground.
The two buffaloes drifted far away and fell down on the rocks,
Boom!
They died with their bones crushed without bleeding.
“Aaakh!”
People were screaming with tension. Their faces looked horrified. They did not expect the strength of the young man to be extraordinary.
As the people were in suspense, the young man noticed that there were three figures of astral beings coming out of the buffalo's body. They darted away from the place with frightened faces.
But the young man didn't let them get away. He chased the three astral beings back to the place where the person told him to. It turned out to be quite far from Wanasepi, even outside the limits of the Duchy of Wirasaba,
Pass through the valleys and mountains and into the cave at the foot of Mendelem hill.
The young man stood straight in front of the cave. Waiting for the host to come out to greet him.
Sure enough, a moment later, a grandfather was dressed in black-black. With a green-colored headband came out from inside the cave. Walking out with his stick that was in the shape of a snake head. Both of his eyes stared intently at the young man. And whoever gasped at it because both of grandfather's eyes were all white!
Hm, apparently Ki Panjer, witch doctor from Mendelem hill.
“Heh..heh..heh.” the sound of his laughter makes anyone goosebumps to hear it. “Your big head also dared to set foot in my house, old man. What's your name?”
“I Somawangi. Panembahan Somawangi.”
“Heh.heh..heh. Maybe someone else can trick you, but you can't fool my eyes. Act young, even though your age is old. Heh..heh..heh.”
Somawangi was alert, ki Panjer movements carefully monitored.
“Who told you to kill princess Wanasepi?”
Hearing the question, Ki Panjer even more chuckled.
“Heh..heh..heh...be young to chase young girls? This must be Roro Lawe's cunning wits. Heh..heh..heh.”
“Jawab only my question Panjer. It is inappropriate for your dirty mouth to mention my brother's name,” said Somawangi furiously. “Or I'll force you.”
Hiyaa!
Ki Panjer raised his wand. From the end of his stick that was engraved the head of the snake came out a dark gray smoke. The smoke continued to billow blocking Somawangi's view. But in the middle of the smoke was plastered images of people who intended to harm Riyani. After that the smoke disappeared, and Ki Panjer's body also disappeared from that place.
***
The wind blows softly. Stroking Riyani's smiling face under the Turi tree. In the quiet room he sat alone. Laughing and humming while carving one's face on his imaginary screen.
Still clearly remembered the face that came in his dream, suddenly came in the real world. I bravely fought to save her. A person who is more concerned with the safety of others than himself, what nickname is appropriate for himself? Soul heroes?
From the back of the house, there was a faint sound of Tumin kang blowing his flute, making the atmosphere more beautiful.
Mbok Dal came to bring a glass of sarimadu water brewed with a squeeze of dragon fruit water. Of course it feels very good and refreshing.
“Not angry anymore Den Ayu?” mbok Dal said with a smile.
Riyani looked surprised. There was a deep pink hue on his perfectly clear face. For a moment his attitude was like a misdeed.
“Ah, his joy symbol disturbs people just happy,” he said.
Mbok Dal smiled wider. Seeing Den Ayunya not angry anymore, his heart became relieved. He then sat down beside his lord, enjoying the twilight breeze.
The young man not only saved himself but also stole his heart. But why is he so hidden? Who the hell is he? Riyani is still immersed in his halo world.
“Eh, mbok why he's in the market. Is the farm on holiday? Mandor Balun is sick? Or pepper harvest is finished?” berondong Riyani's.
Mbok Dal becomes a wave.
“Aduh who again fell in love, so much spirit,” mbok Dal said with a seductive face.
Riyani again made wrong behavior.
“Hey, Simbok. Sebel!”
Mbok Dal chuckles. After a new calm he explained the whereabouts of the young man.
“She now works at Suragenta house. Being her own goat and cow herder.”
Riyani scrunched her forehead.
“Why not work on the plantation again mbok?”
Mbok Dal again patted his eel while shaking his head.
“Kan Den Ayu himself who asked Mandor Balun to fire him.”
Huh huh? Riyani gasped in surprise. His face was sorry.
“I'm not really mbok. I just happen to be upset.”
The girl immediately got up from her seat, walking towards the stables.
“Lho, Den Ayu where to go?”
“You go to Balun's foreman's house so he calls back his new worker.”
“Lho non, don't go! Just let Diro go there!”
Mbok Dal to scream. But his voice was drowned by the swift footsteps of the horse leaving Dalem Kademangan.
