The Fighter
Chapter 1 Loss of Power
“Huh...., just how good are you? Take out your strength that you have been proud of, right now the power you have is no more than a 5-year-old!” it appears that a young boy named Sentono scoffed at the power of Wisanggeni, when they were involved in a fight. Fighting is often done in the Birowo Clan when they train together.
“Ha.ha.ha.., always lose, and lose again the Wisang.” sounds of ridicule and rumbling like wasps appear in the area, thrown by the brothers.
“Where is the loss of Wisanggeni's power, and does that not mean embarrassment to Mr Mahesa?”
“Yes, does the youngster not have the slightest shame towards his two brothers. His first brother Wijanarko was already the Clan Leader in the Western region.”
Wisanggeni only smiled when his brother scoffed, he was not provoked by his emotions. He only took a deep breath, as pain appeared in his heart. Before his strength was lost, Sentono used to be far below him if they did strength training, but at this time just the warm-up stage, Wisanggeni had fallen sprawled by Sentono kicks.
A middle-aged man with a beard, came to Wisanggeni, and helped him to stand back up. Then the old man named Hapsoro sat Wisanggeni in a dhingklik or a small chair without a backrest made of wood.
“Well, how else? I also felt like I was trying to practice, but like something was hindering my blood circulation. The energy that I will release is like being unable to come out.” complained Wisanggeni while smiling wryly at Hapsoro, the courtier who has accompanied and cared for him since he was a child.
“Sabar Den Nice, maybe in time, Aden energy will come out by itself. Maybe not yet the time issued by Yang Maha Punya.” patiently and slowly, Hapsoro calm the feelings of Wisanggeni.
“Yes uncle, I always try to be prejudiced well with the power bestowed by the Divine. Sometimes it seems a little disappointed too. But Wisang will still continue to practice uncle, and should not be quickly desperate.” Slightly unwell with the response from his nanny since childhood, Wisanggeni tried to encourage Hapsoro.
“Uncle massage now yes Den, so that Aden joints during the fight earlier, can be immediately loose. Later that night, Aden can rest well.”
“No need Uncle Hapsoro, Wisang is fine. Wisang go first yes uncle, want to go for a walk first looking for fresh air on the edge of the rice field.”
“Oh yes, be careful on the road Yes Aden! Don't go all the way, worry him this afternoon Clan Chief woke up from his semedy. Because Uncle counted, this afternoon has fallen on the seventh day.”
“Good Uncle, Wisang road first.”
While walking, Wisanggeni remembered his strength in the past. For a youngster of his age in the Birowo Clan, he possessed extremely high strength. In fact, he was always asked by his father to help train the younger brothers in his clan. But it has been almost a year that he has lost it all. Suddenly his strength was like someone was sucking and taking him away.
Arriving at the edge of the rice field, Wisanggeni down to the rover while stretching his hands to the ground
right and left to get some fresh air. He closed his eyes, and felt fresh air rush into his lungs. After inhaling the fresh air, a sense of anxiety that had disturbed him like lost carried away breathing out.
“Kang Wisang.., wait for Rengganis kang!” suddenly Wisanggeni was startled by the screams of women. He looked back, and saw the Rengganis beginning to descend into the rice field.
Wisanggeni smiled and waited for the arrival of the beautiful girl.
“Where are you going, why go it alone? Usually invite Rengganis.” protest the girl.
“You are kang, where are you going?”
“Akang wants to go to the punthuk, there the air is very fresh. We can sit on the branches of that growing trembesi tree!” sahut Wisanggeni sambal pointed to Punthuk in the middle of the rice fields.
Rengganis looked towards the very shady punthuk, then the girl nodded her head. Wisanggeni and Rengganis went down the rice field carefully to Punthuk. Wisanggeni walked behind Rengganis, while occasionally throwing birds that took the farmers' crops in the fields.
******************
“Kang Wisang disappointed with the result of the fight?” carefully Rengganis asked Wisanggeni sambal to look at the young man in front of him.
Only Rengganis did not stay away from Wisanggeni because of the loss of strength, he remained friends and always tried to get close to the man. Actually Rengganis did not have the blood of the Birowo Clan, but his parents wanted him to study in the clan. Learn kanuragan science in the clan, as an initial preparation of the strength of the Rengganis to be developed further in his clan later.
“Why does Anis ask like that same Akang? Well, disappointed there was a little. But yeah how else.
Finally must be able to accept, because I am sure if all has been outlined by Divine.”
Wisanggeni replied as his eyes were directed forward. He was unable to look into the eyes of the girl in front of him. A beautiful girl with a pair of beautiful and clear eyes, who had always been the target of the men in the Birowo Clan.
“Maybe Akang just got the test, but Anis is sure, one day Akang showed the lost power of Akang. In time, people who are currently mocking Akang, will feel embarrassed to have considered lowly Akang all this time.” said Rengganis, while leaning his head on Wisanggeni's shoulder.
Wisanggeni looked briefly at Rengganis, then smiled and looked back at the expanse of rice fields in front of him.
“You're not ashamed to be friends with me Anis? You are friends with young people who do not have any power.”
“For what should Anis be ashamed of kang? When Anis was born, there was not a single bit of power that Anis had. Anis feels happy, if it is always near the akang. Only Akang in the Birowo Clan made Anis feel at home. Anis feels to have a good kakangmas, who always entertains and accompanies Anis.”
Hearing the words of the beautiful girl, Wisanggeni's heart felt peaceful and cool. Occasional hand of Wisanggeni
getting rid of the long hair of the girl who was exposed to the wind and covering her pretty face. The beginning of the closeness of the relationship between Wisanggeni and Rengganis, occurred when Rengganis was first abandoned by his family in the Birowo Clan. Every day Wisanggeni who accompanied him to practice and do any activities. If anyone bothers him, they will run away in fear because of the arrival of Wisanggeni. Even at night, Wisanggeni is always in his room, and will only leave if Rengganis is asleep. Rengganis smiled to themselves in light of their childhood.
“Why smile Anis? Is there anything funny or interesting to your heart?” wisanggeni gently asked the girl on his shoulder.
“It's okay Kang, it just so happens that Anis again wants to smile.” said Rengganis with a flushed cheek blushing shyly.
