The Fighter
Chapter 32 The Bird News
"Teacher.., teacher..," Wisanggeni called Cokro Negoro, but he saw no one in the room. He rushed to open the door, only to see the White Lion who looked as bright as his eyes.
"Singa Ulung..., did you see Master??" ask Wisanggeni on his domestic pet Cokro Negoranya. The white lion wagged its head, then its front legs were raised and directed at the small stool in front of it.
The young man came to the place indicated by the animal, and there was one leaf of ejection. Slowly Wisanggeni's hand took it, and looked at it. It was written by Cokro Negoro, who reported that he had gone to undergo his meditation.
"Take good care of the Ulung Lion, pat on the right side of the hamstrings! The beast will be a vehicle for you. I'm leaving!" the contents of the message from the letter left by Cokro Negoro.
Wisanggeni took a deep breath, then he raised his hand and placed it on the head of the white Lion. Slowly he stroked the head of the beast.
"Lion white, the teacher turned out to have left us to continue his meditation practice. It seems, I have to leave this place too. Would you like to accompany me on an adventure?" in a soft voice, Wisanggeni asked the white lion.
The beast immediately stood up, then walked closer to the young man and then attached his body with thick feathers to the feet of Wisanggeni.
"All right.., wait a minute I'll get ready first!" patting his back, Wisanggeni then stepped into the club. Not long after, he came back out and walked into the courtyard.
In the small front yard of the gubug, Wisanggeni circulated the view around. There was a sense of need to sneak in his heart, as he looked at the gubug that was in front of him. The white lion came down to the courtyard, then looked at the young man.
"We're leaving now the Lion Clouds!" Wisanggeni lowered his body, then patted the thighs of the back leg of the right side. Not long after, a miracle happened in plain sight. There appeared a pair of white hairy wings on the white Lion's body, and his body became enlarged.
"Thank you Lion Ulung, you are willing to help to ease our journey." when the white lion lowered his body, the man immediately jumped on his back.
"Come, we're leaving!" said Wisanggeni with palan tone. The white lion immediately flapped its wings after listening to Wisanggeni's command, and slowly flew over the forest. The green forest, the hill below, paints a very beautiful view of the work of the Almighty. Wisanggeni held on to the wing side of the white lion.
"If you have found the edge of the village or urban, we stop there White Lion. I don't want to scare the public with your sudden appearance." Wisanggeni advised the white lion.
********
On the edge of the city, many people talked about the destruction of the Bhirowo Clan due to getting an attack from Alap-alap. Some people who can still save themselves, they are in a mess looking for evacuations in the villages around the padhepokan that localize the existence of the clan.
"Where does the Head of the Clan go, not to be saved? Or even a victim?" ask a citizen.
"If based on the news circulating anyway, the Clan Chief and the 2 elders of the Clan, were arrested and taken away by the Alap-alap."
"Actually they sinned against Alap, until they sent their men to destroy the Clan."
Some people were still talking about the attack of the Bhirowo Clan from Alap-alap. On the corner of the street, there appeared a young man who was grinding his teeth, and pressing his hand grip until it was red. A sense of emotion and anger he felt, after hearing some people on the street gossiping about the destruction of his Clan. The white lion who is now transformed into a white cat that looks cute, just attach his body to the feet of Wisanggeni.
"I have to control myself, I'm going to find people who know exactly what's going on. I can't just be based on what a lot of people are talking about." Wisanggeni took a deep breath, he tried to organize his heart and emotions.
Lifting up the white lion and putting it on his hands, he walked down that road in search of a place to rest. As Wisanggeni was about to enter a tavern, he was like no stranger to seeing a man dressed up as a beggar across the street. Quickly, Wisanggeni directly crossed the road and then approached the man.
"Uncle Sastro...., am I really not mistaken?" Wisanggeni instantly recognized the beggar, he then immediately greeted him.
Hearing his name being called, the beggar looked at the young man standing in front of him holding a white cat. The man was now growing large and tall, with an increasing body. Her skin was no longer as white as a woman's skin, but it was already a little brownish.
"Den Wisang...., uncle is not wrong Den?" rather fearfully, Sastro greeted Wisanggeni.
"No uncle. I'm Wisang. Let's find a place to talk to uncle, let's go to the store up front. I happen to be looking for food too." Wisanggeni invites Sastro to go to the store across the street.
"But I'm dirty Den.., is Den Wisang not shy about walking with Uncle?" Sastro felt less confident when invited by Wisanggeni.
"O Uncle, follow me. Uncle's not dirty, just uncle's clothes are tattered." Wisanggeni immediately took Sastro and brought him to the front shop.
The people there looked at Wisanggeni who entered the store by holding a beggar. But the young man did not care about the gaze people had on him, he immediately took a seat that was still in the corner of the room. After they sat down, Wisanggeni waved his hand calling for the servant to come to serve him.
"Yes Den.., Aden want what message?" ask the waiter who carries the menu note in his hand.
"Ginger tea lemongrass, rica-rica and bakmi godog. Then have the chicken breast cut into pieces, put it on a plate for my cat." Wisanggeni directly conveyed the menu of food and drinks that he ordered.
"Uncle Sastro.., what do you want to order?" ask Wisanggeni with Sastro.
"Anything, uncle wants Den Wisang." replied Sastro Lirih.
"Good uncle. Kang.., the one I ordered, please make it into two portions huh!" because Sastro did not mention the meal menu he ordered, Wisanggeni finally added his order to two servings.
Not long after, the waiter had already delivered their order menu. Wisanggeni invited Sastro to immediately enjoy his food.
