The Fighter
Chapter 48 the Suroloyo Clan
After resting one night, Wisanggeni immediately left the village. Together with the Rengganis and the Ulung Lions they walked through the city. Suddenly in front of them, there was a crowd of people listening to an announcement.
"Is there an announcement ahead, why are so many people looking at it?" ask the curious Rengganis.
"Nimas is interested in following him, who knows there is a competition." said Wisanggeni, he was not interested in the crowd, because he felt it would only hinder his journey.
Rengganis turned to her with a smile, no strings attached, the woman had already jumped into the crowd. The young man just shook his head to look at his behavior.
Not long after, the Rengganis had already returned beside him with a leaflet.
"Kang.., you know what news Anis brought?" Rengganis smiled and asked Wisanggeni.
The young man shook his head with a smile, and withdrew the woman's hand.
"Hmm.., Anis tell ya?" the woman acted like a child, she teased Wisanggeni by raising her eyebrows.
"Don't repeat that, if it happens, I can't guarantee it. I could have you.mat your lips in this place." said Wisanggeni while whispering.
"Iiihh Akang, his mind is dirty." Rengganis immediately walked away leaving the young man alone.
"Ha.ha.ha.., cook like that Nimas. If you are as nosy as before, your face looks cute and adorable. My man's desire went straight up." as he approached Rengganis, Wisanggeni spoke to him.
Rengganis gave the leaflet he got to the young man. Wisanggeni immediately received and opened it directly. Goggled Wisanggeni's eyes read the contents of the news written on the leaflet.
"Why Kang...? Will Akang be there to see how things are?" ask the Rengganis slowly. She actually wanted to see the reaction of her lover.
Wisanggeni fell silent, he recalled the contents of the news. Ki Brahmono from the Suroloyo Clan had been lying sick for a long time. As the leader of the Clan, he had long since been unable to carry out his duties to lead the great Clan. In his little heart, Wisanggeni honestly wanted to see the condition of the old man. But he also did not want to make unpleasant hopes for the Rengganis.
Because after all, even though he himself had never been close to the daughter of the Clan Chief who had been betrothed to him, but the severance of the relationship greatly hurt his father's heart and feelings.
"Akang .., why do kang Wisang daydream?" ask the Rengganis a little worried.
"It's okay Nimas, let's go on our way. There is no need for us to think about the news, it's just a coincidence that we know it. It is also not our obligation to interfere in it" said Wisanggeni in a firm tone.
He immediately grabbed the woman's hand, then took her jumping forward. Rengganis was silent, although he knew that the direction taken by Wisanggeni did not match the one shown on the map. The man tried to hold back his anger, and it could not be hidden from the Rengganis. But in order to appreciate his feelings, the Rengganis let the mistake happen.
Not long because they had strayed too far from the route, Rengganis pretended to invite Wisanggeni to rest.
"Kang Wisang.., Anis wants to rest first. We have run too long without a break" said Rengganis in a slow tone.
"Well, we'll rest in the nearest village." Wisanggeni granted the woman's request. Not long after that they were sitting in a roadside shop drinking wedang camcau.

"Nimas ..., this is the feeling of Akang alone or indeed we are mistaken to take the road huh? This village is like the village we left early." Wisanggeni seemed to have only realized if he returned to the beginning of their journey.
"That means all this time Nimas knew if I had mistakenly taken the direction of the road? Why don't you tell me Nimas?" ask Wisanggeni to be ashamed.
"With you Kang, which path we will pass, for me there is no wrong word" said Rengganis.
"Kang Wisang.., do not be held back what you want. Rest assured, if indeed Akang believes it is true. Rengganis would not be angry, if Akang wanted to try to provide medical assistance to Clan Chief Suroloyo. Anis will keep you company." continued Rengganis, he looked into Wisanggeni's eyes with a bright gaze.
Seeing that gaze, Wisanggeni appeared a feeling of guilt had been trying to lie to the woman.
"I'm sorry Nimas, honestly I did want to try that luck. Given how my mother, having an emotional closeness with the Clan Chief." Wisanggeni finally admitted his feelings.
"Anis understands Kang, come on after we rest, we'll continue on our way." Rengganis convinced the young man.
After they felt well rested, Wisanggeni spoke to the Ulung Lion.
"Take us to the Suroloyo Lion Clan Ulung, there are things we should find out there! Hopefully there are benefits we can take from our journey." Wisanggeni stroked the white cat's head.
After patting his feet three times, the Lion Deer transformed into a huge lion. The people around, running away to save themselves. They thought the white lion was a fierce and wild animal.
"Come on Nimas.., we have to save time and energy! Let it be this time, Lion Ulung who will deliver us." soon Wisanggeni invites Rengganis to immediately go up to the back of the Lion Ulung.
Without waiting for the repetition of the command, the woman jumped directly on the back of the Lion. Wisanggeni immediately followed the woman, he jumped up and placed himself behind the Rengganis. After patting beside the belly of the Ulung Lion, the beast immediately flew into space.
"Kang.., look at the waterfall below! It looks like the water is clear." Rengganis pointed in the direction below. The Lion of Ulung lowered its flight further down.
A very beautiful sight lay before them. A beautiful waterfall cascades down from the top of the cliff. The rocks around the springs add to the beauty of the place.
"Does Nimas want to enjoy the beauty of this scene?" ask Wisanggeni slowly.
"Ehmmm..," the woman did not answer.
" Deaf Lion.., put us down for a while there. The air is quite hot, maybe I will feel refreshed if I can take a short shower under the waterfall." like understand what is in the mind Rengganis, like, Wisanggeni ordered the Lion Clouds to come down.
The beast immediately descended following Wisanggeni's orders, at the edge of the spring he stopped.
"Go first to find your food!" Wisanggeni whispered in the ear of the lion Ulung.
"Auuummm." after roaring, the beast immediately ran away leaving the two of them.
Unable to hold back, the Rengganis went straight into that clear water. Wisanggeni smiled, he followed the woman. They play like children, although the forest has been a place of life for days, but they rarely enjoy it in particular.
