The Fighter
Chapter 6 The Traveling of Wisanggeni
The next day, Hapsoro ran towards the senthong where Ki Mahesa was resting, and arriving in front of the senthong immediately knocked on the door impatiently. Ki Mahesa who was sitting cross-legged while practicing breathing, slowly opened her eyes. Hearing the knock of the door in a hurry, Ki Mahesa immediately went down and opened the door of the room. At the door he saw Hapsoro panting and panic on his face.
“Mr Mahesa.., fortunately Tuan has woken up.” said Hapsoro while paving two sheets of lontar leaves.
“What is this, and why did you give me Hapsoro?” ki Mahesa asked while taking a palm from Hapsoro.
“Den Wisang Tuan.., den Wisang is not in his room.”
Ki Mahesa raised her hand gesturing for Hapsoro to shut up. Sometime, Ki Mahesa read and interpreted sentence by sentence written by his youngest son on the palm leaf. After taking a deep breath, then taking it out again, Ki Mahesa handed one scroll to Hapsoro.
“Deliver this ejection roll to Rengganis! My youngest son is already a great Haps, let him go to seek experience in the outside world. We as parents, can only pray that happiness and blessings are always with the steps. I gave him permission.” with a resigned face, Ki Mahesa gave a message to his son's nanny.
“With just such power, Master allows Den Wisang to be alone in the outside world? Am I allowed to accompany him sir? If allowed, I will go immediately to find Aden.”
“Don't Hapsoro, you'll stay in this corner! I believe and believe, my son's bloodline is not from an ordinary bloodline. One day a power will emerge from within his own body, and in his time my son will appear to stir the martial world.” Smiling, Ki Mahesa tried to convince her brother.
Hapsoro was silent for a while, he could not accept the reality that was in front of him. A Clan Leader
allowing his son, who had no fighting power, to go out alone. But given the status of the person currently in front of him, inevitably he had to try to believe it.
“Do my orders immediately Hapsoro! Give the roll to the girl. Seeing his proximity to my youngest son, I am sure that Wisang will tell about his departure to the girl.”
“And also, if there are rumors that talk about the departure of my son, tell them if I give permission and blessing for the departure of Wisang.” continued Ki Mahesa, then he went back into his room.
“Siap Tuan.., I immediately carried out.” with a step gontai Hapsoro left the front of Ki Mahesa's room, and immediately walked to the boarding complex occupied by female residents.
Having just walked a few tens of meters, Hapsoro met a group of young boys carrying bows and arrows.
“Where are you Uncle, why go to the Female guesthouse? Is Wisang currently playing there?” mocking remarks from Jatmiko.
“Not that Jatm.., yes have to immediately find a replacement yes. Yesterday the engagement was decided, yes have to quickly find a new one.” Said another young man.
“Ha.ha.ha.., true it.”
“Not as you guys think Den, I am here because there is a need with Nimas Rengganis. Uncle go first.” Hapsoro immediately left behind a group of young people, and rushed to find the room of the Rengganis.

"Where are you going to ki sanak.., if it's straight to the forest?? Before the big palanquin tree, Ki Sanak turn left and will meet the nearest village!" one of the anglers was driving his way.
"Thank you uncle for the hint, I walk first." as he held both palms in front of his chest, Wisanggeni said goodbye to the three anglers.
"Yes, be careful on Ki Sanak's road." said the angler kindly.
Wisanggeni followed the directions given by the angler earlier, and finally he met two people who were drunk in the junction mentioned earlier. He deliberately avoided the steps so as not to cross paths with the two drunken men, but ill-fated they also saw him.
"Hi.., don't run away from me! Wait, leave your things if you want to go down this road!" one of the drunkards shouted for Wisanggeni to stop.
The young man followed what the drunk wanted, he stopped waiting. As if there was a wind, when the drunkard came in front of him his hand was like something was moving, his hand quickly raised the drunkard's neck and slammed it to the ground.
"Bug.." suddenly Wisanggeni's right leg was lodged in the chest of the other drunkard and ended with their exposure in the middle of the road.
Wisanggeni himself was shocked by what he had just done, but he did not want to spend his time thinking. Not wanting to add to the burden of trouble, Wisanggeni immediately fled to take the straight path to the forest.

"Kinanthi.., eat! What are you thinking, are you still thinking about the words delivered by your former fiancee?" laksmi gently invites Niken Kinanthi to enjoy her meal. From this morning, the girl did not want to touch any food.
Niken Kinanthi looked at Laksmi with a hint of worry.
"I'm selfish, isn't Laksmi?? Father will definitely be angry with this decision I have taken, but I will not increase my strength in Red Silat College if I am still tied to the engagement. Moreover, from the elders in the Suroloyo Clan also many told me to cancel my engagement." Niken Kinanthi put his head on Laksmi's shoulders. Laksmi lovingly stroked her cousin's hair, as an older brother she had to protect her younger sister.
"It's not important to think about that anymore, Niken. Rice has become porridge, remember my advice when you asked me? But it turns out you're following Ki Lukito's nest more than I am." with a smile Laksmi reminded Niken Kinanthi.
"Now is the time for you to organize your heart, be a strong woman who is not easily discouraged! Eat, forget everything because you have to come to Red Silat college! Not everyone has the luck to enter and study at the college, thank God you became the chosen one there." continued Laksmi while bringing a plate containing rice and side dishes towards Niken Kinanthi.
After a short silence digesting the words from Laksmi, the girl finally took the plate. Slowly he began to feed the rice into his small mouth, while occasionally drinking water from the roof. Laksmi who faithfully accompanied him and sat beside him smilingly looking at his brother.
"Laksmi.., Niken Kinanthi. Before evening we should have already continued our journey to Red Silat College!" Ki Lukito came asking them to get ready immediately.
"Well Ki., let Niken finish the food first."
