The Angkara Murka
The Book of Tri Deshi Chapter Nine
"I'm not a fan of martial arts and magic like you guys, but you ‘kan need not doubt my ability and sincerity, Mar," added Kardiman Setil. Just like Affandi, Kardiman Setil also respects Marsudi and puts him as the oldest family as well as a leader.
"Who said I doubted you? I've never doubted your ability and earnestness at all in my life. But, do you have to take this obscure matter seriously?" reply Marsudi.
Affandi stood up, "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's find out where Obong is."
Marsudi frowned not understanding.
"Well, ‘kan brother himself has been thinking about this problem for a long time. Besides I was also curious about the keris that brother said that, obviously the reason is because we are brothers. What is important to us, is important to us. Yes ‘kan, Kar?"
Kardiman Setil nodded.
"After all, dear science rawarontek brother. Let the science be more perfect with the keris yanh later you get. My position can be even stronger with my brother supporting me from behind. And Kardiman let's take a break. A lot of money is not used up for the love of his four wives and mistresses," said Affandi joking.
Everyone laughed out loud.
Kesakten aka kesaktian is not just something to be proud of and boasted for Marsudi, but this is part of his identity. During this time the science of kanuragan and magic has indeed brought him a lot of enjoyment of the world, from wealth, prestige and honor, to power of course. Many people are afraid to hear the name Marsudi, the powerful thug. They do whatever they want. Threatening business people, being the mainstay of politicians, feared by the authorities, and respected public figures make his life meaningful. Devotion is the culmination of everything, a kind of life achievement. The more powerful he is and deepens his knowledge, the more satisfied his soul is.
Affandi and Kardiman Setil understand that well. For their old foster brother, devotion and canoeing had already become a part of him, even the most important. This was also because Affandi and Kardiman Setil had experienced the most absurd thing before their eyes. Marsudi arrested ***** with his body to save both of them in a gang war. Marsudi also had several times hacked off opponents until he should have been dead by now, but in fact still standing upright. Both of them could hardly believe this. Not only because of the fact that such science is real, but they owe their lives to Marsudi. They have also experienced too many problems together, facing the same enemy, fighting against danger and threats together. The three are an inseparable unit.
Marsudi supervises many men, as well as Affandi. Although Kardiman Setil works alone on his missions, he has many assets that are very profitable. When combined, they are a deadly force. However, for the purpose this time they had to do it all three, there was no interference from others.
"What do you see?" kardiman Setil told Marsudi while he was packing a UZI whose firing speed was able to spew 60 rounds per minute.
"Do you feel the need to carry that firearm?" reply Marsudi.
"This UZI is one of my tools. I also have a command knife, a baton, a Garrote command wire or a stun gun. I don't have a ragarontek like you, or a silat-like style Affandi."
"But you killed the most than any of us" Affandi cut into pieces while putting a pair of carambits in his sheath and placed on the back of his waist.
No wonder Kardiman Setil is familiar with this kind of military-style combat equipment, because he himself is a former member of the military who was dishonorably discharged because of various cases he faced, he said, including the sale of illegal firearms. Combat techniques he did get in the military, then he developed again directly in the field in his experience as a hitman.
This is definitely not a picnic trip even though Affandi does not stop funny throughout the trip and Kardiman Setil who has a rich collection of perverted, slovenly and obscene stories, especially if not based on personal experiences with his women.
There was still an aura of tension present every time they stopped talking or laughing. No wonder Kardiman Setil brought all of his weapons on this trip. Marsudi himself realized that their adventure could be a trip to the sun, a suicide mission. He could not forget his clear dream, while his two friends certainly took seriously what was troubling his mind. It was already a curse as well as a blessing for this brotherly relationship of theirs.
The road they were walking on was very dark, there were no street lights. A day's journey, a half-day's stay to rest, and another day to get lost on the road make them quite exhausted. They had to pass through three villages around the foot of the mountain before arriving at the village on the side of a river.
This small road is covered in trees on the right left of the road from the moonlight. But indeed in the distance seen lights flickering glowing at the foot of the mountain, indicating there is a village there.
"Our journey is like an activity to a remote village, bang," said Affandi who got a turn to drive while chuckling.
"Who told you to come along" said Kardiman Setil who was rubbing his UZI.
"Hey, I was also from the village before the big city. I've been used to places that are not electrified and lighted the way. It should be you who's not coming, Kar," Affandi replied.
Marsudi himself does not talk much about people. Now he was closing his eyes, meditating a little to look for clues. Sure enough, he saw that the keris was not gloved and not staying up late but amazingly beautiful in his dream continued to shine a brighter light. Maybe this is a sign they are approaching the location.
Affandi opened his eyes, when the three people in the van saw a white figure as big as a human darting quickly across the road so quickly. The figure jumped into the lush trees on the side of the road.
Affandi almost slammed the wheel in surprise. Even the van tire squeaked hard, but did not have time to stop. The car runs at a slower speed.
"You guys see that?" affandi said with bulging eyes and hunting breath.
"Prepare yourself. It looks like we're going to face something very big. There's someone waiting for us up ahead" Marsudi said.
Kardiman Setil grasps the handle of the UZI tightly. The van was running in silence. Everyone is struggling with their own thoughts.
