The Fighter
Chapter 5 Must Go Soon
Hapsoro delivers hot ginger drinks to senthong or Ki Mahesa's room, and looks boiled cassava and boiled kapok bananas accompany the cup. Slowly using his right hand, Hapsoro knocked on the door of the senthong.
“Come in.., door not I lock!” there was a firm voice Ki Mahesa invited in.
“Good Mr..” still with his right hand, Hapsoro slowly pushed the door inward.
Ki Mahesa was lying on the bed, but saw the arrival of the courtier who had served him for a long time, the middle-aged man immediately got up and sat down by hanging his legs on the bed.
“Drink first Mr.., I'm sure your body will soon be refreshed and recovered!” with a smile Hapsoro gave a cup to Ki Mahesa.
“Thank you.”
Ki Mahesa received a cup that was stretched out Hapsoro, then immediately drank it a few sips later
put back the pot or cup made of iron can to a small table located beside the bed.
“How do you feel now, has it gotten better?”
“Actually I'm okay Hap. But remember my late wife, who had a conversation with the family of the Suroloyo Clan, who ended up with the engagement of Wisanggeni with Nimas Niken Kinanthi. I seemed to fail to keep trust from him.” seemed a blank look in Ki Mahesa's eyes.
“I can understand the feelings of Master. But how else, it seems Den Wisang can accept the decision earlier, and even Aden himself who immediately agreed and delivered earlier in the main pendhopo.”
“Iya Haps.., I also immediately agreed to it because I saw the response from my son. Now where is Wisang?”
“Aden went straight out and walked to the edge of the village. Usually Aden just sit around in the middle punthuk of the rice field Master. And it was like Nimas Rengganis following Den Wisang there. Would you like to meet Aden? If yes, I will immediately call him to meet Mr.”
“No need Haps.., if Wisang is currently with Rengganis, I do not need to worry about it.
The girl has a background that is not arbitrary, there will be no one who can successfully disturb her.”
“Iya Tuan.., why are the people who have relations with Den Ayu all from martial figures with high abilities huh Mister? Only dear.., Den Ayu himself does not live Long.” Hapsoro sighed.
“You should never regret what happened to Hapsoro! You think, just with an easy effort when I will win the heart of his mother Wisang? At that time I had to be beaten up by the men from the Anggito family, and also from many other young people when I had to approach the girl.” Smiling Ki Mahesa recounts initially approaching his mother Wisanggeni.
“But fortunately for my patience and perseverance, Wisang's mother finally chose me to be her life partner. May the same good thing, will also happen to the life of my son and daughter.” Further again.
“Iya Tuan.., hopefully. I'm going back to the back, sir. While looking around, who knows Aden has already returned to his room.”
******************
Wisanggeni walks hand in hand with Rengganis on the side of the village road. Time and again the young man seemed a little distant, as the girl beside him shamelessly leaned her head on his shoulder. Wisanggeni tried to keep his father's good name from the bad judgment of the community there.
“Kang Wisang...., see the mountain in the south? Anis pingin go there, does Akang want to accompany me?” spoiled Rengganis shows a mountain that looks far away on the south side.
“High strength is required to reach that mountain Rengganis, it seems like my current strength will not be suitable to take you there.” Realizing how powerful he currently possessed, Wisanggeni immediately answered the girl's question.
“Why did Akang become desperate, didn't it have to be now Akang? Anis is confident that one day the power of Akang will reappear, and together with me, we will show the east, west, south together. I'll wait for that chance Akang.”
“Alright Anis.., someday if I already have the strength, I will definitely take you along to that mountain. Ayoo.., it's time we go home! I don't want Daddy to send people to look for me.”
“Thank you Kang Wisang, Akang has promised to take me anywhere.” Rengganis hugged Wisanggeni, and after returning the girl's embrace the man let go.
To speed up the pace, Anis immediately took Wisanggeni's hand and then with a single blow
“If the elders know your devious behavior, you will get the punishment of Anis.” smiled Wisanggeni reminded the girl.
“As long as you are with Kang, any punishment will Anis receive.”
****************
On a lonely night, everyone in Padhepokan had already fallen asleep in his dreams. But that did not happen in Wisanggeni's room. The disappointed look on his father's face this afternoon while listening to the guests of the Suroloyo Clan break off the engagement, was still clearly visible in the young man's eyes. Slowly men
it got up, then sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at the package he had prepared earlier after dusk changed night, and he again reassured his heart.
“I have to get away from this padhepokan, that is if I want to successfully increase my strength.”
“Are you not aware of your power Wisang? How can you sail through this world, if your strength alone is still at the basic level. If you realize, you can defeat Vishnuadji it is not from your own strength.”
“Means you have to leave immediately, otherwise, yes it will be like that keep your strength!”
“Are you not ashamed, every day mockery.., scorn becomes your food everyday. Build Wisang...., quickly leave this padhepokan!”
There were many thoughts in the brain of the man. But then he took a leaf, and immediately wrote a letter to his father, and a letter he addressed to the Rengganis. After the letter had been written down, he put the letter on the table, then he tidied up his bed.
“Pardon Father's Wisang.., Wisang does not have the ability to say goodbye directly to father. Only with this letter, Wisang dare to say goodbye to father.” muttered Wisanggeni.
A moment Wisanggeni looked around his room, then took a package of clothes and some dry food that he had prepared earlier. Slowly Wisanggeni squatted down, and pulled a box from under the bed.
“Mother.., I will bring the goods that my mother gave me when I was a child.” whispered wirih Wisanggeni when she opened the box.
After the big box was opened, Wisanggeni took a shawl and a small box containing a dagger. The man smelled a shawl that never lost its scent, despite having been in the box for years. When the man missed his mother's embrace, he would take the shawl and kiss her. After a while he smelled the fragrance of the scarf, then folded it and put it in a cloth package, and tucked the dagger around his waist.
Slowly after making sure all the equipment is in his hands. Wisanggeni slowly opened the room door. A cold wind hit his body as he was already outside the room, then he walked quietly towards the exit gate.
“Sarjo..., you wait for the gate for a moment! I want to urinate first.” heard a scream from the gate patrol for the entrance gate.
“Ya.., there go immediately!” it appears that the man called Sarjo walks in front of the gate. His eyes were circulated around, and as he felt that nothing was suspicious, the man sat back in the substation.
Wisanggeni hid himself behind a large gayam tree that grew near the guard post.
“I have to trick Sarjo, so as not to see me out of this gate.” said Wisanggeni lirih.
“But.., in what way yes, so Sarjo can be easily fooled?” thought again.
After spreading his gaze, Wisanggeni smiled to see there was a rusty sheet of zinc lying on the side that was quite far from the guard post. Wisanggeni squatted took a fairly large stone, then threw the stone towards the zinc.
“Klang..,” heard a loud noise from zinc hit by a stone throw from Wisanggeni.
“Hei who's there? Wiyono... hurry here!” while shouting to call Wiyono, Sarjo ran to the zinc.
Seeing Sarjo running and also seen Wiyono coming to the source of the sound, as soon as Wisanggeni ran out of the gate, and without stopping he continued to run.
