KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Puspa Ayu's

With his right hand, Puspa Ayu slapped the faces of two young men who were training to match surrounded by other students who were sitting in a circle.

“Puspa A—!”

PLAQUES

One young man received five slaps until he could not continue his words. All the students were surprised to see the arrival of the daughter of the leader of the college who he said was dead in the Mentaok Alas.

While the Manah Valley only scratched its head which suddenly felt itchy while looking around it filled with a sense of wonder. Ahh, this young man looks stupid, hehehe.

“I'm sorry, Puspa Ayu. I didn't mean—!”

“Already, I don't want to hear the reason for you two!” sahut Puspa Ayu cut off the conversation of a well-bodied young man. “Come Valley, come with me!”

The Valley of Manah just follow with Puspa Ayu who gripped his right hand until reddish. However, the young man complied with the request of his new friend as he passed from the courtyard and headed for a room, it seemed to be a special guest room.

“Sit here, I'll be back in a minute!” pinta Puspa Ayu to the Valley of Manah who saw the girl like an angry lion.

How not to get angry, left two friends alone in the forest, let alone face the scary creature—Durgabahu.

“Do not go anywhere, stay in this place!” the girl left the Manah Valley.

“Women when they are angry are really terrible!” the young man shook his head.

“Welcome to White Spear College master swordsman!” An old woman suddenly walked out the door of the inner room with some food and drinks.

“I am a waiter in this place. My name is Mbok Damari, if you need to call me in the kitchen!” continued the fat old woman.

“Te-thank you Mbok!” sahut Valley Manah saw a lot of food on his desk. “This is enough!”

Soon the young man devoured some food, understandably, these few days the Manah Valley only ate potluck without feeling full.

“This meal is delicious!” exclaim Manah Valley shortly after drinking tea, until the sound of ‘ah’ sound from his mouth and put the bamboo roof and then look towards Mbok Damari. “Ayo Mbok, come eat here?”

Mbok Damari just looked at the young man in front of him and said, “symbok already ate kok tu—!”

“Call me Manah Valley!” sahut Valley of Manah cut the words Mbok Damari.

After some time, Puspa Ayu returned to the place where the girl left the Manah Valley with a man who was about fifty years old, wearing a white robe with a spear on his back.

“Let's eat Puspa Ayu, it's delicious seka—!”

The words of the Manah Valley came to a halt when it saw a man behind Puspa Ayu who had just arrived. The young man's face looked red withstanding embarrassment, as he thought the man behind Puspa Ayu was an authoritative one.

“Manah Valley salute!” the young man exclaimed up from his seat and crossed his right hand in front of his chest with a slight bow of his head.

“Oh, so this swordsman named Manah Valley!” said the man wearing a robe with a white spear. “Thank you young man, you have saved my daughter from Durgabahu!”

Manah Valley was stunned to hear the words of Puspa Ayu's father. The young man looked at Puspa Ayu, then looked at the white-robed man, then looked back at Puspa Ayu by pointing at his right hand and saying, “so you're in—!”

“I'm sorry, I don't know if—!”

“Just relax Manah Valley, just continue eating you!” sahut Ki Jaladara cuts off the word Valley of Manah.

Finally, Jaladara and Puspa Ayu join the Manah Valley to enjoy an afternoon meal. While eating dishes made by Mbok Damari, they told each other, from the origins of the Manah Valley, to where the young man was headed.

Jaladara also invited the Manah Valley to stay a few more days before continuing his journey. According to him, to head towards the center of the kingdom, it still passed through many other small villages.

A week had already passed after the Manah Valley came out from the Aisle of the Leaf Realm. If he wanted to take part in the match, the young man only had three more weeks to get to the center of the kingdom.

Without notice, the day before evening, Manah Valley was ushered to its lodge by Mbok Damari.

“If master swordsman needs something, just call Simbok in the kitchen!” mbok Damari exclamation while leaving Manah Valley from a special guest room.

“Thank you Mbok!” sahut Valley of Manah bowed his body. “Emm, just call Manah Valley yes Mbok, hehehe!”

Mbok Damari passed leaving the Manah Valley in his room.

In the evening, Manah Valley came out of the room and was about to take a walk around the college. When he reached the courtyard, Puspa Ayu shocked the young man from behind.

“Hei! Alone!” exclaimed Puspa Ayu patted the shoulder of the Manah Valley, which made the young man look back towards the girl. “Can I accompany you?”

“Please princess!” sahut Valley of Manah with a smile on his lips.

They both sat in a hut that was provided for a place to rest or just looking for the wind. With torches illuminated on both poles on the right and left of the hut supports, they chatted with each other to enjoy the beauty of the full moon.

There is a lot they talk about their personal affairs. About the Manah Valley being expelled from college, until the young man was stranded at this White Spear College. However, the young man was still hiding about Ki Gendon and Dragon Maruta.

Puspa Ayu only heard the Manah Valley story, it seemed like the girl was getting more and more interested in the young man who had saved her.

Now it was Puspa Ayu's turn to tell the Valley of Manah, the girl told him that, one of the disciples had put his heart on her. Puspa Ayu never liked the young man, because of his arrogant attitude, always using his strength to oppress the other disciples.

“He was one of the young men I slapped earlier this afternoon!” exclaim Puspa Ayu while bringing his seat closer to the Valley of Manah. “Name Panji Giri, one of the elders in this college!”

On one occasion Puspa Ayu suddenly brought his face closer to the face of Manah Valley who was looking at the full moon. This was the first time for Puspa Ayu, for some reason the girl felt there was a turmoil inside her, Puspa Ayu wanted to hold her back, but her heart did not.

Realizing that there were no words from the girl next to him, the Manah Valley turned towards Puspa Ayu and how surprised the young man was. Puspa Ayu closed his eyes and his face drew closer to the face of the Manah Valley.

“Hei! What are you doing Puspa Ayu!” exclaiming the Manah Valley shifted away from Puspa Ayu and held the girl's face with her right hand.

Puspa Ayu opened her eyes while smiling, her red face blushing with embarrassment. If it was daytime, it was possible that the girl's face would be clear, but because it was night and only illuminated by torches, so it was not very visible.

“I want to caress your face Valley!” sahut Puspa Ayu smiled without covering up his intentions.

“Ahh, pamali!” said the Valley of Manah and was about to move from his seat to his room. “You better rest too, emm, it's late at night!”
