The Fighter
Chapter 247 Return
Some time in Jagadklana, Wisanggeni along with Rengganis and Chakra Ashanka met Ki Sasmita to ask permission to return to the hills of Mount Jambu with his daughter and granddaughter. The faces of both of Rengganis' parents, especially her mother, looked less than pleased. But because the obligation of a wife is to follow the husband, then with a heavy heart the woman was finally heartened to let go of them.
"Go and return to Mount Jambu with peace of mind my son. Wisanggeni.., take good care of my daughter and grandchildren." Ki Sasmita delivered a message that sent them away.
"Yes fathernda. message and father's blessing will always remember always." Wisanggeni responded to her father-in-law's question. The young man gathered and performed a bow in front of the old man, followed by the Rengganis and the Ashanka Chakra behind him.
Ki Sasmita rubbed the head of Wisanggeni, Rengganis and Ashanka Chakra. After that Wisanggeni shifted to do sungkem in front of his mother-in-law. The woman wiped the melted tears from her eyelids, still feeling heavy to part with them despite having tried to sincerely release them.
Moments later, Wisanggeni and his wife and son walked out of the pendopo. In front of the gaze of his father and mother-in-law, the man helped his wife and son up on the back of the Ulung Lion. To save time traveling, Wisanggeni decided to use the Ulung Lion to travel.
"Yep.." nimbly, after Rengganis and Ashanka Chakra were on the back of the Ulung Lion, Wisanggeni immediately jumped on the back of the beast.
"Take us back to the hills of Mount Jambu!" after gently patting the back of the Ulung Lion, slowly the lion beast immediately flew up into space.
Without speaking, Rengganis wiped the melted tears on her cheeks. From behind, Wisanggeni leaned Rengganis' head on his chest.
"Cry my wife, do not hold back tears from flowing out. Don't you taste it.." Gently, Wisanggeni fix Rengganis's hair. From the front, Ashanka's chakra looks back. Wisanggeni gestured for his son not to disturb his mother.

Arriving in the city where they were staying before heading to Jagadklana, Chakra Ashanka asked his father to stay back at the refugee camp. The young man still remembered his promise to bring some of the boys he had helped train at his college and his father and mother were.
"Dad.., mother.., Ashan had an appointment with some new friends, who had met Ashan a few full moon ago. They want to explore the science of Kanuragan in our college. If your father and mother are pleased, what if we return to stay at the inn" said Chakra Ashanka.
"How is Nimas..., shall we obey the request of our son?" Wisanggeni asked his wife Rengganis.
"Nimas doesn't matter.., we can split up after Chakra Ashanka meets his friends. While we train our son to protect himself, guard his friends while making his way to the hills of Mount Jambu." unexpectedly, Rengganis agreed to the proposal of his son.
"Well if you want that. Ulung.., drop us off at the front yard of the inn. I hope you don't forget the way to get there." Wisanggeni directly asked the animal they were driving to lower it in front of the inn.
"Auuummmmm.." after a long roar, the Beast increased its flying speed. Not too long later, the Lion Clouds reduced their flying speed and then began to swoop down.

Just as Wisanggeni walked into the front of the inn, the innkeeper rushed over and welcomed his arrival. Apparently the old man still remembered Wisanggeni, because their arrival was first too conspicuous of attention.
"Thank you uncle.., prepare for us two rooms for where we rest." Wisanggeni immediately responded to the middle-aged man.
"Well.., Ki Sanak doesn't need to queue. You are our priority guests, please sit and wait first. Let our servants immediately prepare a room to rest." graciously, the owner asked Wisanggeni and his family to wait for him inside immediately.
Wisanggeni immediately followed the steps of the innkeeper, then sat down at the place prepared for them. As soon as they sat down, the waiter brought drinks and snacks for them. Rengganis turned to the surroundings, it turned out that they were the only ones who received special treatment from the innkeeper.
"While waiting, please enjoy the first snack ala.kadarnya. And please allow me to serve the other guests." The innkeeper then walked away from them.
"Let's enjoy Nimas, Ashan. It's not good to refuse fortune." Wisanggeni starts first by lifting the cup, then slowly sipping the drink. Not long after one piece of getuk, it was already in the hands of the man.
"Dad.., mother.. after we got the room, Ashan asked permission to go out to meet the friends who will follow us to Mount Jambu." suddenly their son asked permission to leave.
Rengganis looked into her husband's eyes, and Wisanggeni put the gituk back into place.
"Go away., but remember. You have to quickly return to the inn, because you have to rest enough" said Wisanggeni gave permission to his son.
"Thank you father.., Ashan promised to obey and remember what you said." Chakra Ashanka looks very happy with the permission he has obtained.
Rengganis smiled, the woman wanted to try to take off her son little by little, in order to gain experience without getting help from her parents. Not long after, a servant approached them with two keys in his hand.
"Ki Sanak., I was asked by the innkeeper to deliver the room key to the Ki Sanak family." politely, the maid gave the key to Wisanggeni. The man immediately received the key in his hand.
"Thank you uncle, you are very friendly to give us help." Wisanggeni responded to the hospitality conveyed by the servant.
"It is with pleasure that Ki Sanak, and that has become my duty. Moreover, I feel privileged to be able to serve Ki brother. Let me take you to Ki Sanak's room." the waiter offered his good service to serve Wisanggeni.
"No need for uncle. Back at work, my family and I would find ourselves a room that had been prepared for us." Wisanggeni quickly prevented the man.
Immediately, Wisanggeni stood up and his hand grabbed the hand of his wife Rengganis. Under the remains of admiration from the maid, Wisanggeni rushed towards the rooms to search for his own room.
