The Fighter
Chapter 437 The Peace of the Soul is the Core of Life
A shady-faced old woman smilingly looked at Wisanggeni, Rengganis and Parvati. Although the three men intended to smash the small stone door before him, there was not the slightest look of annoyance from the woman. The old woman kept smiling, and looked at Parvati. Wisanggeni thought, why the old woman looked at Parvati.it could be related to the person who managed to open the black stone fence in front there. Based on his daughter's protection with the Maharani, Wisanggeni held Parvati's back and then pushed her back. After the young girl was behind Wisanggeni, the male quickly covered the young girl's body with his large tall body.
"The three of you have been waiting for a long time.Go inside." graciously, the old woman invited them to come inside.
Wisanggeni felt suspicious, with ease the old women who had just this time they knew, let them enter easily. Their apalalgi had entered without permission into their territory, which they had surrounded with a fence made of wrought black rock, and was very difficult for ordinary people to penetrate. Rengganis and Parvati held Wisanggeni's arms, one each on the male's left right.
"What place is this Nini. why easily Nini let foreigners into. Moreover, our arrival here, obviously without any invitation from anyone. Only because of the element of unintentionality can we find this place, and manage to get into it," Wisanggeni confirmed his doubts.
The old woman turned her body back, still with a smile developing on her wrinkled lips, the old woman stared at the three people. There was no sense of offence visible from her old face, still the hospitality that appeared on the old woman's face.
"It's not easy to interpret things before you know what a young person really is. I've been waiting for you guys to arrive. Come in. I'm sure with your strength and your wife's, you will easily defeat me. Moreover, your beautiful daughter has a very concentrated energy wealth, it is not easy to be able to penetrate her strength.." the old woman spoke again.
Finished speaking, the old woman walked into a small room that resembled a stone cave. Rengganis and Parvati looked at Wisanggeni, then after thinking for a moment, the man immediately invited the two women who came with him to go inside. Arriving inside, their eyes widened to see the ornaments and arrangement of the room. Goa that looks narrow, it turns out that after they go inside, it becomes wide.
"Sit down young man, I know. You must be hungry and thirsty, because of the food that I deliberately feed you, nothing you touch. Turns out you were quite careful, and guarded against all possibilities." the old woman was sitting on a chair also made of black stone carvings/
"Well, we'll sit down. We hope, Nini didn't betray our trust.." Wisanggeni immediately sat down, then asked Rengganis and Parvati to follow him.
After a while, the atmosphere in the room was silent again. The old woman only smiled at the three of them, and her hands had been busy preparing a warm drink for the three uninvited guests. After the three cups contained a hot ginger drink, the woman moved it in front of Wisanggeni and his wife and daughter.
Wisanggeni held the wooden cup, in his heart he admired the power possessed by the old woman. There was no fire in the place, but the cup he was holding was still visible and felt to drain the heat. It requires high energy and inner strength to maintain it in such conditions.
"Nimas Rengganis, Parvati. There's no other choice for us, other than we have to respect the owner of this subjugation.." Wisanggeni spoke softly to his wife and daughter.
"Good brother." the two women followed the request of the man.
*********
Some time Wisanggeni enjoyed the snacks and drinks served by the old woman, still not able to know the purpose of the woman visiting her. It was as if the three of them were indeed a guest who had come at the guesthouse. At least the old woman had also not opened her identity to the three of them. And it feels disrespectful, if Wisanggeni asks the identity of the woman, Be they look like they are waiting for each other.
"Nini. why did Nini let us into this place. Now, this even helps us, even though we did not know each other before. If Nini allows, so that there is no deception between us, I will introduce myself and my family. This woman is my wife Nini. Her name is Nimas Rengganis. This young girl is my daughter, Parvati.. My own name is Wisanggeni Nini.." Wisanggeni preceded introducing himself to the old woman.
The old woman smiled, then raised her hand and asked Parvati to come closer to her. Without any repetition, Parvati came and approached the old woman without the slightest fear. Even the Rengganis were staring at them with a hint of worry. But Wisanggeni gently rubbed the young woman's arm, in order to let her daughter approach the old woman.
"Beautiful girl. Please accompany Nini in this boarding house for some time, will Nimas Parvati." with a smile, suddenly the old woman asked Parvati to accompany her for a while in the boarding house.
Parvati was silent, the young girl did not dare to make up her mind. His eyes were fixed on his mother, then on his father Wisanggeni. For a while no one spoke in that place..
"Nini. does it look unfair, if we've introduced who we are. Nini herself did not want to introduce herself to us. As both parents of Parvati, of course we will not easily hand our daughter over to a stranger like Nini. Is it possible to understand the words I said Nini...?" firmly, Wisanggeni responded to the old woman's words.
The old woman smiled and looked towards Wisanggeni and Rengganis. Parvati slightly shifted from her seat, as she felt a heat energy flowing from the old woman.
"Ho. ho. ho. it turns out there are still those who are interested and want to know this old woman. I will introduce myself to all of you young people. Decades ago, people called me as Nini Sinto Rini. Greed, the current human cruelty, chose me to reside in this place. Because the peace of the soul is the key to all life that every human being seeks." said the old woman.
Hearing the name, Wisanggeni was surprised. Some warsa ago, when he was a child, Ki Mahesa often told the greatness of a tough woman named Sinto Rini. But without any news, the old woman suddenly disappeared.
