The Fighter
Chapter 7 Meeting People
The noise of animals around him woke Wisanggeni from his sleep. Slowly the young man
opened his eyes, and a ray of sunlight shone through his eyes. Wisanggeni gathered his memories back, and finally he remembered that he was already far away from home. Last night after reaching walking, nearing dawn he had just found a good place to rest himself.
“I have to find the spring first, so that it can clean my body.” Wisanggeni thought to himself.
“Uuuu aaaa, uuuu aaaa,” the sound of monkeys chasing each other on a tree accompanies Wisanggeni steps in search of springs.
After walking for about ten minutes, Wisanggeni put his ears well. He heard the sound of the waterfall gurgling, then he stepped his feet towards the source of the sound. In front of his eyes, a beautiful sight. The river is not deep, with large rocks around it seem to flow in front of it, coupled with a waterfall with a large enough water slide. There were a few fish swimming in it.
The young man immediately looked for a safe place to hide his belongings, and after
finding the curve of the stone that somewhat went inside, Wisanggeni kept his goods there. After making sure no one was around, he took off his clothes and only wore underwear for the lower part of his body. Grasping the dagger, the youngster immediately went into the water.
“At once this water is fresh, cold but refreshing. Quickly, my energy seemed to recover.” muttered Wisanggeni with a smile.
“Clap..” the sound of throwing daggers through a fairly large fish.
Wisanggeni took back his dagger, then pulled out the dagger from the fish and then put it down
on the big rocks. He repeated the incident, and finally he got 5 fresh fish. While playing with the water, the young boy cleaned the scales and fish droppings. He planned to burn the fish to hold it hungry.
After being satisfied playing water, Wisanggeni then went upstairs. Using clean rocks, and dry branches, he intended to burn fish. Suddenly pekanya's ears caught a fine groaning sound.
“Akh.akh..,”
“There's someone here? Who are you, don't you try to scare me?” Wisanggeni shouted looking for that groaning voice.
“Akh.., please.., help me!”
Wisanggeni felt the groaning of a woman who was in pain, and was trying to find help. The young man immediately stood up, and left his fish on the rock. He was trying to figure out where the sound came from. His eyes were carefully directed to the edge of the river, but he found nothing. He walked closer to the waterfall, and his eyes widened to see the smooth skin of a woman because of the clothes revealed by the waterfall.
“Hei..., who are you kids? Are you in pain?” the young man asked the woman.
“To..long a..ku! Akh.., pain.” The woman asked him for help.
Throwing away his fear, Wisanggeni immediately went back down into the water, carefully he walked past the large rocks to head to the waterfall. In front of him lay a weakly beautiful woman with clothes that had been torn here and there. Without even taking a second look, the young man immediately raised the woman's body by lifting her in front of his chest, and directly carried her to the ground. He put the woman to sleep on a large but flat stone.
“Why is my body shaking like this, when her skin comes into contact with my skin?” strange questions arise in the mind Wisanggeni.
It was realized he saw himself currently wearing only the blemish*a d*lam\, with a shy smile he immediately left the woman and immediately took her clothes. After fully dressed\, he took the long cloth\, and went back to the woman.
“Your shoulders are wounded, I will burn the fish first to replenish our energy, while looking for leaves to cover your wounds. Wear this cloth first, can you?” slowly Wisanggeni invited the woman to speak.

“When did Uncle Wisang go? Yesterday I didn't say anything to me, but yesterday was the last time we met.” Rengganis felt disappointed after reading a letter from Wisanggeni that Hapsoro brought to him.
“After the dawn of Nimas, Aden and his father did not want to cause a commotion in this village.
So that Aden can not officially say goodbye to everyone in the Bhiroowo Clan.” according to Ki Mahesa's message, Hapsoro conveyed to Rengganis about the departure of Wisanggeni with the approval of his father.
“But, to me..., do Kang Wisang and uncle Mahesa still consider me someone else? Until Wisang's departure, I can't say goodbye to him?” exclaim Rengganis with high tone.
“Sabar Nimas.., we can only pray that Aden's departure can make him truly a superior fighter! And that's all that's hope for the people in this padhepokan Nimas.” Hapsoro advises Rengganis.
But the girl cried even sobbing, she felt lost for Wisanggeni's sudden departure. He catches there what Hapsoro and Ki Mahesa have hidden, and is not told to him.
“Nimas.., it's good now Nimas rest first in the room! It would be no good, if Nimas cried here, then the uncle who will be exposed to the allegations has hurt Nimas.”
“Thank you uncle, Nimas will be back in the room. And maybe uncle, in the absence of Kang Wisang, maybe Nimas will not have to go home for long. In this padhepokan will feel lonely without the presence of kang Wisang.” finished saying his words, the girl immediately entered the room leaving the middle-aged man.
Hapsoro immediately followed away leaving the female guesthouse, and returned to the room he occupied.
Not waiting for a long time, the departure of Wisanggeni from the Bhirowoo Clan was already heard in all the padhepokan. Although Hapsoro had already conveyed to the audience, if the departure of the young male son of the Clan Chief on the permission of his father, but the news of birds was also heard.
“Perhaps Wisang was disappointed because of the breakup of the engagement yesterday.” Some people began to gossip about the departure of Wisanggeni from Padhepokan.
“Well, who wants to. Already have a beautiful face, smart, but the cook must be willing to be betrothed to men who do not have the strength.”
“If you how is Gayatri? Do you want to be Wisang's fiancee, hi.hi.hi.?”
“Awas ya Lastri.., Kang Vishnuadji you mean? If Vishnu kang yes obviously I want, but if Kang Wisang.., ha.ha,.ha.., are you willing to Lastri?”
“Think first if kang Wisang. hi.hi.hi.hi..”
“Newly kidding about what you guys? Is it funny, you guys are talking about the son of the Clan Chief behind?” Rengganis rebukes Gayatri and Laksmi who are mocking Wisanggeni.
“Not Anis.., we are not talking about anyone, only concerned about the departure of Kang Wisang. Yes no Laksmi?”
“Iya Nis.., no really. I go to the room first, I want to clean the bed first. I haven't done it yet.” Laksmi immediately said goodbye to Rengganis.
“I too.., wait for me Laksmi!” Gayatri ran after Laksmi who immediately left Rengganis.
