Swordsman Without Friends
There's no title.
Eve air still feels cold.sunlight before noon is not able to change the atmosphere around.however the snowy grains of land that hoard the bodies of 'Pair of Sukma Wholesalers' have begun to melt. the leaves of the trees also fall as if accompanying lives wasted.
Pranacitra looked around him. The corpses that were scattered made him ask in his heart, until when will he experience this situation.? because honestly he never felt like killing even though his opponent deserved to die. Sometimes there is a strong desire in him to run from it all. life was secluded quietly and far from bloodshed, but could he do it.?
The door of the hut slowly opened.The first time it appeared was Nyi Kartiyah. although from inside his hut he and his niece Ni Luh Mirahsari could hear all the commotion and the screams of death that occurred in the fight but when he saw for himself the state of the corpses that were sprawled bathing in blood, he could hear all the noise and screams of death that occurred in the fight, still, the woman was horrified.
Behind him Ni Luh Mirahsari slowly followed out of the hut by holding on to her aunt's left shoulder.The face of the girl who was blinded looked paler. despite the difficulty of seeing but he could imagine everything in front of him. Seeing the state of this skinny girl, Pranacitra became unbearable.
Just know the limp young man's body has appeared in front of the door of the hut. his black iron stick outstretched touching Ni Luh Mirahsari's left hand. ''It is not good to linger in this place because the danger will likely still lurk. after cleaning yourself in the river, I will take you to the destination.'' said Pranacitra.
Ni Luh Mirahsari smiled sweetly, confidently clasping tightly to the end of the iron rod. ''The river of the bath is not far behind the hut, please take me there..'' Pranacitra turned his body and began to walk followed by the girl.The young man in front of his left leg limp, while the beautiful girl who followed him behind a blind man.See this Nyi Kartiyah felt his heart become pity.
But if you see the limp murder victim who is still lying, a scary feeling makes him shudder in horror. actually from inside his hut Nyi Kartiyah was able to peer out from between the walls of the bamboo hut so that almost everything that happened outside could be known including the death of a Pair of Sukma Wholesalers.
A soul-wrenching whistling sound, his footsteps limping and a murderous manner were so fierce, with a black iron stick of skull head as his weapon, he said, it is a sign that there is no doubt for the martial to know who this young man is. Even if he has been rumored to die but Nyi Kartiyah is very sure that this limp young man is the one.!
Even so, Nyi Kartiyah preferred silence. ''Please deliver and take care of Ni Luh Mirahsari.I need to pack and prepare provisions for our journey.''' he said while re-entering the hut. the two easy people did not realize. continued to walk slowly fluttering bushes into the grass.gurgling sound of water flow was heard.in front of them there was a small river.
''I will not be far from where you bathe.You can calmly clean yourself.'' said Pranacitra guiding the girl's steps up to the river bank which contained a stone bulge for the barrier. those thin, white feet began to tread into the clear river. ''Thank you for your help.Now you can go. don't look well.'' the candle laughs cheerfully.without waiting for the young man to stay away, his green white clothes have been released. the smooth slender body was soaking into the river.
Pranacitra was a little stunned.he remembered that Srianah who if bathing sometimes also never cared if seen by him. the melodious humming sound of the red lips of a blind girl flowed along with the wriggling of her plain body that was drenched in gleaming river water. even though it is a scene that is dear to be missed just like that, Pranacitra did not have the heart to see it longer and chose to turn her body and then move away.
A bamboo raft has been sliding quickly following the river.Two women and a young man as the driver was on the raft.after first disposing of the bodies of the members of the 'Devil' Archway' to remove the tracks, the, Pranacitra makes a bamboo raft so that they move faster because if walking through the forest is certainly quite difficult and time-consuming. in addition, from the information of Nyi Kartiyah the river will pass through a village that is quite crowded named 'Jajarpari.
It was already around dusk when their raft arrived at Jajarpari which entered the border region of the Duchy of Ponorogo.after taking a short break to eat in a small stall, the, Nyi Kartiyah decided to buy a horse-drawn carriage from a villager, with Pranacitra as her coachman the three men continued on their way.
The sight of the skyline of a slightly overcast afternoon made the young man's mind somewhat dreamy.he recalled his conversation with Nyi Kartiyah while waiting for Ni Luh Mirahsari to clear herself in the river. ''Do you like my nephew.?'' a question that left him stunned and not knowing how to answer. ''She is a poor girl.I certainly don't want my niece to suffer any further.Truthfully, I know who you are..''
''We both owe you our lives, maybe all your help for life will not be able to be recompensed.along I would like, I would like to hand Ni Luh Mirahsari to you but will it be good for both of you. please forgive your apology if my words are less pleasing to your heart. even though you have such a high science of power is also very feared by martial people but can it all be a guarantee for the safety of both of you.?'' asked Nyi Kartiyah gently as if full of caution.
''Also, since childhood, this girl has been betrothed to the only son of my brother-in-law whose residence we are heading to. there is an engagement bond between the two. although Mirahsari is an innocent girl but as a blind person she tends to feel suspicious of strangers.Even at the familiar of my niece, she also often keeps her distance..''
''Oddly, when he met you, he not only dared to talk openly and even touch your face.I think he might also like and believe in you. Aish., everything I want to say you have heard.not that I object or intend to obstruct you but hope that you think further before determining the attitude..''
That was the conversation that took place between the two. Pranacitra sighed softly. his lips revealed a bitter smile.The slight swing of the whip made the carriage towing horse run faster. ''Just know the girl a day.had not had time to date and then talk feelings of love and affection, Eeh., has been hunted down by her aunt.'' murmured her head gnarles.
All this time it was always him who left the beautiful women in disappointment and heartbreak. Retno Item, Orange Rani also Winuyem is an example.but now, replace the limp who felt subtly rejected by his future aunt-in-law. ''Aish., is this the law of karma.?'' confused mind. 'Oalaah, Pran., Pran., your fate Singles Forever 🤧.
