Swordsman Without Friends

Swordsman Without Friends
Mount Bisma College.


Mount Bisma is a mountain located in central Java and is still adjacent to the Dieng mountain region. the mountain although not included among the highest mountain groups around central Java but quite towering for the size of a mountain.


At that time the sun had just risen, on the eastern slope of Mount Bisma there was one pedestal, there stood four houses made of wooden planks and bamboo slats facing east. when the morning sunlight appeared the light immediately illuminated the doors and windows of the four houses that lined the building.


At the front of the house lay a courtyard that is quite wide fenced around from bamboo slats and planted with some shady trees. the entrance of the courtyard is like a small pendopo from the arrangement of kali stone and rivet sono wood. the top is written Padepokan Silat Gunung Bisma..!'


In the house on the far left, one girl's face appeared from behind the window on the right side of the newly opened, her round clear eyes blinked a few times and yawned. still drowsy he looked at the courtyard outside the window which looked quiet and a little foggy, although he just woke up and his hair was tangled but did not reduce the natural beauty of the girl's face.


He turned to his bed room on a mat. there lay a friend who was still sleeping half snoring.although she was not as beautiful as the girl who had been awakened and had a rather brown skin but quite sweet as well. the cold air that entered through the open window made him pull his thick blanket and curl up in the cold.


This beautiful girl flicked her thick black curly hair when she saw the face of her sweet black friend was still asleep she did not have the heart to wake him up.


''Hhm., it seems like today I have to alone clean the yard. maybe Suntini is tired because yesterday trained hard until night.!'' muttered the beautiful curly-haired. with a single trace of her slim body legs has come out through the window and know-know has been in the middle of the page. mountain wind that blows makes the air cooler.This girl momentarily adjusts breathing to smooth her blood flow.at least this can reduce the cold of the morning air.


Although it had been more than six years he and a dozen of his friends were on Mount Bhishma, but he still often felt cold.This beautiful girl somewhat hated the cold. so among all his friends he was the least able to stay still, just keep moving and sweating.


Although the sunlight had appeared, but the fog was still hanging, especially today it was a bit cloudy. with a broomstick that was short-circuited this beautiful girl who was maybe fifteen or sixteen years old began to sweep the courtyard.His eyes observed three other buildings that were still closed by the window door.


''Their yesterday they really trained hard until night until tired.usually this morning has been a lot of waking up.'' murmured the girl. just as he was about to sweep from behind the fog appeared a flat-bodied teenager with a coughing sound walking over. The girl smiled greeting ''If the teacher knew you used to wake up early he would definitely not believe it and nag.!''


The person in the broom was just grinning, without saying much he also began to move the broom held in his hand. at a glance his movements were like haphazard, haphazard, but if you notice right in a few sweeps of dry leaf litter scattered in the courtyard was already half collected.


''Among us eleven beggar boys who were raised by Ki Rangga Wesi Bledek, only he still looks sick and thin. teacher also once said that actually this child is smart and has talent, only his body is too weak not suitable for learning martial arts.''


''After all, he seemed to have no interest in silat, but instead was good at cooking and all homework.Nearly all our needs and teachers, he provided it. I am a woman sometimes to the point of embarrassment because I lost deftly with her., '' the inner girl.


When he daydreamed for some time since the work of sweeping the yard was finished. Everything looks clean.The garbage collected in the corner of the yard is only burned. the skinny young man coughed again and then gestured to go to the kitchen, and as if he was used to not talking his person immediately shaken off leaving the beautiful girl with curly hair who could only sigh.


''Hei Ajeng Larasati., what are you daydreaming about in the middle of the courtyard by yourself so.?'' one voice sounded reprimanding.without turning his head the beautiful girl already knew who was making a sound, after all her person's body had already floated lightly and landed steadily right beside her.


A handsome young man, his white clothes although made of cheap and rough cloth but looks clean and neat.Hol hair long black smeared with a type of oil to look thin. if only the young man who might be seven dozen years old was dressed expensively, one would think he was a young man from the royal family.


''The others are still sleeping but you're awake, did last night's hard training not exhaust you Arga Pangestu.?'' asked the beautiful mayang curly-haired girl named Ajeng Larasati on the dashing young man beside her who was apparently named Arga Pangestu.


This young man just shrugged his shoulders while smiling. ''You know, the teacher if you have asked us to practice silat always demands good results, if there is a little mistake do not expect us to stop or rest, yesterday Jalu Ireng, Ireng, Suminah and Kalinggono almost fainted tiredness.when Jalu Ireng his body was the largest and strongest among us Ki Rangga disciples..!''


''Also I cannot bear to let you sweep the courtyard by yourself, ''' the young man muttered. Ajeng Larasati smiled down.he felt that the young man beside him paid more attention to him. Almost all his friends also liked to tease him if he happened to be alone with Arga Pangestu.


The beautiful girl was also not a woman who liked to be bound by manners, for her all her friends were brothers, so she never took care of it all. although in his heart he also admitted that Arga Pangestu was indeed an attractive young man, handsome and noble.


''Hhmm., unfortunately you are late. see for yourself the courtyard of our college has been clean, all the garbage has also been collected just to burn it.'' said Ajeng Larasati. as Rada shivered he rubbed his palms. ''Huu, I hate the cold.


''Weeh., how quickly you sweep the court, alone again.!'' arga Pangestu is amazed.


Arga Pangestu was stunned involuntarily he fingered her cheek. ''You mean Pranacitra.?''


Ajeng Larasati nodded., ''Yes., who else, if you remember the skinny one it feels just yesterday he sprinkled both of your cheeks.'' his burlesque as his finger reached Arga Pangestu's cheek.


The young man smiled wryly. in his heart he felt that even though his weak and quiet friend was indeed a bit stupid in everyday life, but at certain times this child could suddenly be much smarter, much smarter, clever and reckless of anyone, even his teacher Ki Rangga Wesi Bledek sometimes to be amazed by his behavior.


''This morning we were dating, you two deliberately made us.all jealous well.,?''


''Heeh., indeed you just know that the two are often alone, every time our teacher divides work assignments, Arga Pangestu more often help Ajeng Larasati.''


''Eeh., leave it alone, after all they are both quite compatible.!''


In just an instant the courtyard of the house was already crowded with the sound of jokes and mischievous satire of the students of Mount Bhishma college. Arga Pangestu and Ajeng Larasati are just grinning, they seem to be used to being seduced by their friends.


''You guys are up late but madih also dare to tease others.see this page is all clean.!'' reprimanded Arga Pangestu. as the person who trusted his teacher to manage all his friends, he felt he had a great responsibility to his friends. a thing that seems to have been usual since they were still a herd of unkempt little ruffians.


''Halaah., your words are ngawur. Ora bener kui., Ngapusi, Big lie., lha wong we all know that the one who swept over was Pranacitra, our quiet brother..!'' said a young man dressed in yellow and wearing a sarong, his name was Kundali.


''You are the leader here, do not like to lie, the woman does not like deceitful men, Ora seneng blas., hik hi., hi.!'' teasek Suntini, the sweet black girl who roomed with Ajeng Larasati. apparently she had also awoken. all her friends laughed jokingly at the jokes of the two.


Arga Pangestu can only be upset, but for a moment it has also been chuckled. ''When did Ajeng and I say that we both swept this page. I just said you guys woke up late.!''


''Weih., it is still able to sneeze, it means that the two of you are also late waking up.!''


''And fellow sleepers are forbidden from mocking each other, Hak.,ha.,!'' said two other people, laughing cheerfully in the morning.


Cloudy clouds have gone away, the sun has fully appeared. The fog on the slopes of the mountain Bismapun also disappeared. after washing your face and just cleaning yourself, the mist on the slopes of the mountain bisma also disappeared, fifteen to nineteen-year-old young men began to return to practice silat, Arga Pangestu and Ajeng Lestari whose highest knowledge was seen leading his colleagues.


The movement of these young fighters is quite fast and agile, if it is estimated that it may be equivalent to a second-class fighter who already has a name. can be understood because their teacher is Ki Rangga Wesi Bledek the famous Iron Thunder Hand in the martial forest.


At that time a tall young man named Candraka was fighting blows and kicks with Kundali in yellow. had ten moves passed but both were still balanced. when about to hit his opponent's chest suddenly Kundali fell headlong, falling down, Candraka and the others thought Kundali slipped. When she wanted to come forward to help her friend, Candraka even complained of pain while holding her bruised hand dislocated. Everyone became noisy and confused by the incident.


''Hek., hek., the students of Mount Bisma college apparently only a bunch of jokers who can usually fall and dislocate themselves.!''


''Is it possible here that many demits or curious demons like to disturb people.?''


''There used to be no demons in this place, but now the demons have appeared., and there are no three more demons, Hik., hik., hi..!''


Everyone turned their heads to the sound, either since when under the gate of the college had appeared three half-parents who had faces and makeup strange and creepy.
