TIKAM SAMURAI :EPISODE 1 (WASHING THE FACE WITH BLOOD)
TIKAM SAMURAI (EPISODE 46) REPEATS THE OLD TEST

Without feeling a year has passed. During that year Mei-mei and the Bungsu stayed at Datuk Penghulu's house in Padang Gamuak Tarok village. It is like living in your own parents' house. Datuk Penghulu and his wife received them with open arms. Datuk Penghulu turned out to be a fighter who contacted the members of Gyugun, Japanese soldiers who came from Indonesian youth. He inventory weapons that have been stolen, as well as logistics, collected to prepare for future wars. He also recorded the names of the members of Gyugun who were willing to become the soldiers of Peta, the Defenders of the Fatherland. The bustle of Datuk Penghulu late this is indeed increasing.

Meanwhile, Mei-mei's skills in this year's session advanced tremendously. Salim, who had been acting as Datuk Penghulu's assistant to teach Mei-mei, had now been scattered far away. Even in a few practice times, Mei-mei managed to defeat Datuk Penghulu. Datuk Penghulu became very proud and happy to have a student like him. Unlike the silat teacher in general, who felt humiliated if his students managed to defeat him. Datuk Penghulu actually felt because there was no more knowledge that he could pass down to Mei-mei.

While the Bungsu also trained his samurais. He didn't study silat. Even though Datuk Penghulu once offered him to come but he felt it was too late. His wish is now only one, avenging his family killing Saburo with his samurai. His father had sworn shortly before his death that he would demand revenge for killing Saburo with samurai. He was a witness when the oath was pronounced. It is his duty to carry out. Therefore, for a year at Datuk's house he trained his samurai speed in the bamboo forest that was there.

He repeated his practice again as in mount Sago. He uprooted and incorporated the samurai as quickly as he could. Plunging it all four directions. Time and time again he repeated the same thing.After his speed returned to normal, then he closed his eyes, concentrating. Exerting energy to listen to even the most subtle shifts when the wind blows.

Some bamboo leaves fell. He waited, when the bamboo leaf was just a step from the ground surface he pulled out his samurai, as fast as lightning. Then, still closing her eyes, she moved two steps to the right. Bet the samurais twice. Two bamboo leaves split.

Then it rolled quickly to the left, smearing its samurai twice, a piece of bamboo leaves in two. And yet another one escaped from the slash of his samurai. He repeated the exercise so continuously. Until finally the speed and skill increase from what is already. For a year they stayed with Datuk Penghulu and Tek Ani. With the money they brought from Payakumbuh, plus the jewelry they got from Babah's house fat communist leader, Mei-mei and the Bungsu can help the Datuk's life. Even Mei-mei had the school Upik continue with the cost. That night, when Datuk Penghulu and the Bungsu were not at home, Mei-mei was reading the Quran, Tek Ani and Upik welcomed it. Her delicate voice was as soft as splitting a bamboo forest. It is between the tree and its green leaves. In the grandfather's house it was only the three of them now.

Datuk Penghulu is somewhere. His activities are very high. That was the end of July 1945. That is two more weeks before the Proclamation is read at Pengangsaan Timur Jakarta Indonesian fighters hold contact with other leaders of the movement. Datuk Penghulu is the leader of eight main couriers of fighters based in Bukittinggi. He was the one who connected the contact between Major Dakhlan Jambek who was then serving in Gyugun and based in Pasaman with Major Makkimuddin in Payakumbuh.

Of course, the members of Gyugun who come from Indonesian youth are in the main supervision and very strict. Their movements are monitored in secret. From the supervision and investigation that leaked secrets about the father of Datuk Penghulu Upik in Padang Gamuak. From the investigation it is known that the coachman bendi is only made as a disguise of the task of his eyes. Kempetai prepared an attack on his home.

And that night the five chosen Kempetai came to their house. But as stated above, at that time the grandfather was not at home. There are only Datuk's wife, Mei-mei and Upik. Third woman. The Bungsu himself was not in the house. He is replacing Datuk Penghulu's task of carrying his object. There was important news that he was going to be in town. It's about Saburo. For that he disguised himself as a coachman to meet a courier in the city. Tek Ani, the Upik and Mei-mei were shocked and stopped teaching when the door was broken by Kempetai.

“Mana Datuk Penghulu ..”

A Kempetai asked with a drawn weapon. While the other one watches the corner of the house. Their eyes are red and bright. Beware of all possibilities. When the statement was repeated, then Tek Ani replied, that her husband did not exist.the person who ransacked it then whispered whispered with his Commander-in-Chief Djun-i (Aid Lieutenant) who led the raid. The djun-i looks at Mei-mei with glittering eyes. When he nodded, the one who whispered earlier came out. Then there was a voice telling the guard around the house. From the answers outside, Mei-mei soon finds out that outside there are three more Japanese soldiers.

SERIATE....
