The Fighter
Chapter 3 Sudden Guests
As usual, when the day changed to morning, Wisanggeni has relaxed his muscles in the backyard pendhopo. Sweat had already flowed out from all of his limbs. Every day he would wake up at dawn and start peeping. After cleaning his room, he will process his body in the pendhopo yard.
“It turns out that the stocky and sturdy body can not guarantee its strength is also comparable.” heard the voice of a mocking woman behind him.
Wisanggeni turned his head, but he ignored the words of the woman by the name of Gayatri. A beautiful woman who was always dressed a little openly, was currently looking at her.
“What are you doing there Gayatri, are you interested in Wisang?” asked the other woman while laughing at her behind him.
“Ah cook I am attracted to weak men who do not have the power of Wulan? Let's get to the training ground, rather than our time running out just to see him do a stupid deed!”
“Hi.hi.hi.hi.., may your taste this time have changed.”
The two girls then left Wisanggeni alone while laughing giggling together. In a small fork, they met Vishnuadji. While walking, Vishnuadji placed his hand on Gayatri's waist to the pendhopo. Gayatri, who likes to admire men who have the power of silence, leaned her head on the shoulder of the man. But when in front of the training ground, seen Rengganis who stood as if waiting for someone's arrival, Vishnuadji immediately released his hand from Gayatri's waist. Gayatri lost her balance, because without warning her head that she rested on Vishnuadji's shoulder was immediately pushed to the side.
“Kang Vishnu, why was Akang rude to me?” gayatri Protest.
But the man quickly abandoned her, and approached the girl in pure white with shining sharp eyes standing in front of the pendhopo.
“Which is waiting for Anis? Are you waiting for my arrival?” greeting Vishnuadji to Rengganis. But the girl only saw him, she did not answer the greeting from the man.
Vishnuadji was not discouraged, he then stood up to line Rengganis, but the girl fiercely looked at him, then left him alone.
“Hi.hi.hi, feel Kang Vishnu. Know what it feels like to be rejected by women?” taunting Gayatri and Wulandari while giggling.
“Shut up all of you!” exclaim Vishnuadji while pointing fingers at the two girls. They immediately ran to meet Ki Pramono, the teacher who trained their strength increase today.
“Sialan.” Shouted Vishnuadji sambal kicking a pebble with his right foot. Then he went into the pendhopo, then sat down cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
**************************
“Kang Wisang, why train here? Let's join the others at pendhopo?” the cry of Rengganis approached Wisanggeni.
Seeing the arrival of the beautiful girl with a big smile, Wisanggeni stopped his movements.
“It seems free I trained in pendhopo Anis, at most I will just be a banter there.”
“Don't break Akang's spirit! Later there Akang can imitate the movements taught by Ki Pramono. The movements taught by him are very good to be the basis of our strength in the future. No need to use a big power struggle. As if in China, known as the Taichi Movement.” is not ceaselessly Rengganis seduce Wisanggeni to want to practice together with others.
Finally Wisanggeni agreed to the invitation of the girl, and subconsciously Rengganis embraced Wisanggeni's body because the man agreed to his invitation.
“Anis, release! Aren't you ashamed to hug a man who even killed one bird just can't afford it?”
“Ah Akang, Anis so embarrassed. But Anis doesn't care, come on Kang!” with a reddened face, Rengganis released his embrace on Wisanggeni's body.
Then they both walked to Pendhopo. Arriving there, Vishnuadji's eyes glared filled with anger, looking at the girl who had just left him, with a sweet smile walked over and came with Wisanggeni. The two men then sat down beside Wulandari, who was a little away from her due to the worry of clashing with Wisanggeni.
“Good, all gathered. Now all sit down cross-legged, and close your eyes. Respond for up to 5 minutes, empty your mind. Let's start now!” there was applause and the voice of Ki Pramono for all the students to prepare the initial training grounds.
“Vishnu, come on seriously. Otherwise, up to an hour you will all make the same move!” yell Ki Pramono reprimanding Vishnuadji.
“But what are the benefits of just sitting close your eyes Ki?”
“You do it first, then I will explain what benefits can be taken from that basic movement!”
Finally Vishnuadji followed the movement like other disciples. Ki Pramono smiled trying to understand the background brought by each of his students.
************************
"Asoka.., help Rengganis! Wisanggeni will train to fight Vishnuadji, Rengganis hope Asoka knows what to do!" using telepathy Rengganis called Asoka. Ki Pramono did the match training between his students, after the draw, Wisanggeni paired with Vishnuadji, while Rengganis with Niluh.
"Neither Nimas..,"
"Vishnu.., Vishnu.., Vishnu.." cried support for Vishnuadji filled the pendhopo page. While Rengganis only accompanied Wisanggeni's departure to the middle of the yard with a smile, his wry eyes looked up at a large tree not far from it.
After paying respect to each other, not wanting to waste time Vishnuadji wanted to end the fight as soon as possible. With a grasp of his hand, he aimed with all his might towards the son of the Clan Leader. When the fist almost touched the jaw of Wisanggeni, as fast as lightning the jaw shifted to the left, and the fist of Vishnuadji only hit empty air. Many times Vishnuadji's hand tried to hit Wisanggeni with his strength, but nothing worked, and made his heart become upset.
"Ciaaaattt.." Vishnuadji's kick was again directed towards Wisanggeni, but quickly Wisanggeni's body like there was a wind that moved quickly dodged, and his hand caught Vishnuadji's foot and then turned it to the side.
"Aakh..., stop Wisang!!! suddenly there was a cry of Vishnuadji who felt pain, and his legs felt sprained. Wisanggeni released his grip on Vishnuadji's feet, but quickly his palm grabbed his chest. As fast as lightning, Vishnuadji's body retreated and fell outside the courtyard.
There was applause from Ki Pramono and Rengganis, but Wisanggeni just stood glued in the middle of the courtyard. He felt that what had just happened was not his strength, there was a deep flow of energy directing and moving his limbs.
"Congratulations Kang Wisang.., Akang day is very extraordinary, not to wait five minutes can beat Vishnuadji." Rengganis gave the man a speech. Wisanggeni did not answer, he instead pulled Rengganis' hand to the sidelines under the astonished gaze of the people there.
*********************
News of the success of Wisanggeni against Vishnuadji quickly spread throughout the padhepokan. Feeling that it was not a force from within his body, the man did not respond to the congratulations given to him. In the afternoon when Wisanggeni was just reading a book in his room, suddenly there was a knock three times on the door.
“Wait a minute!” then he opened the door of his room, and saw Hapsoro his little nanny standing in front of the door.
“What's Uncle?”
“Den Wisang awaited the family to gather at Pendhopo Utama! There are guests from Red Lightning College and Suroloyo Clan from the East who came to visit suddenly.” Hapsoro conveyed the purpose of his arrival to Wisanggeni.
“Good Uncle, Wisang will change clothes first. Uncle can leave Wisang for a while, or can also wait. Not long by!” said Wisanggeni sambal smile.
“Uncle just wait for Aden. Please Aden change clothes!” Hapsoro then sat in front of the room, and Wisanggeni closed the door of his room to prepare himself.
After changing clothes, Wisanggeni walked side by side with Hapsoro directly to pendhopo.
“Daddy is up from Uncle?”
“Already from last night Den, did Aden miss the same Klan Chairman?”
“Kangen is uncle, but yes anyway Wisang must be aware of the position of Father. Father must be fair to all members of the Clan, must not only put his own son first.”
“Yes also Yes Den. But Uncle is very grateful, Ki Mahesa has a son who is very devoted and good behavior.”
“Ah, Uncle is too encouraging Wisang. Because Wisang sure, if the father also bears a big moral burden, because it has a son who does not have power like Wisang.” Wisanggeni said while smiling wryly.
“Don't be discouraged Aden, because uncle is sure one day Aden's strength will recover Back to how it was.”
“Thank you Uncle for doing.anya!”
Eventually the two of them reached their destination, a major Pendhopo that was currently full of all
the nuclear family of the Birowo Clan. While on the south side, sat a group of guests from the Suroloyo Clan. Wisanggeni glanced at 3 beautiful girls of the same age as Rengganis, who were staring at him from afar.
“Aden want to sit where, let uncle find a seat!”
“Wisang find Uncle alone, please stay here if uncle wants to know the purpose of this meeting.”
“No Den, Uncle wants to do something else. Excuse Den.”
As Wisanggeni was about to sit beside Niluh, the girl fiercely stared at him. It was as if he was worried that he would lose strength if he sat beside Wisanggeni.
“Why not sit near here only Akang?” there was a melodious voice Rengganis offered Wisanggeni a seat.
