The Fighter
Chapter 74 The Kanuragan Fighting Match
Rengganis invited his mother and father to sit in a chair in front of his room. He did not want to be separated from his mother, the head of Rengganis rested beside his mother's shoulder.
"How about Nimas.., have you tried to walk around the Jagadklana region? Like before going far, you if you go home, always take your brother around this region to see the beauty" said Ki Sasmito with a smile.
"Yes son.., cook every morning you also do not accompany your mother to the market to buy kitchen equipment or needs. Fortunately there is Mbok Sumi who is always loyal to accompany Mother everywhere." His mother added.
Rengganis was silent for a moment, the mother raised her daughter's chin up.
"Every day the Rengganis had come out of my father's room.. If not sure, the father or mother can ask Uncle Lelono. Because the Rengganis will spend the day in the book storage room. Because there are still many ancient books that not all Anis read." Rengganis responded to the words of his father and mother.
The mother of Rengganis smiled, gently her fingers toying with the hair of the front of the fallen Rengganis covered part of her face. He also saw her with a smile.
"The daughter of the father is already a teenager, even soon it will leave her father and mother to live with her husband. You also need to have fun with my daughter, not just spend time reading books. Take a walk around this region, especially for now our territory is crowded in preparation for the annual celebration. Many guests from other regions have entered the berthing of our boats" said Ki Sasmito slowly.
"Yes, son, who knows there is a young man who can pull your heart out. Or it's Laksito, many times he said the same mother if you want to invite you. Even his parents often send parcels here" said Mother.
Hearing the words of his parents who offended a man, Rengganis fell silent. Without realizing it he was daydreaming, and tears dripped down his cheeks. Ki Sasmito was surprised to see the reaction of his beloved daughter,
"What is Nimas.., did the words of your father and mother offend you? Don't you have an interest in the opposite sex yet?" ki Samito.
"No father.." said Rengganis quickly, his head shook. Tears were flowing more and more on her cheeks.
"My daughter.., don't take the heart of our conversation. But you also have to remember, how the habits that exist in Jagadklana. Every annual celebration, there is always a science contest among the youth. If usually, you are still in the adventure, the mother can refuse any young man who won a competition to propose to you. But for now, the mother and father will find it difficult to reject Nimas." lovingly, Mother gave a kiss on the forehead Rengganis.
"Actually the beginning of the competition is only to familiarize our citizens with other citizens. But over time, every science competition turned into a place to try out intelligence. Even then it ends with the opportunity, to have an unmarried girl to be chosen as his life companion. But you don't worry Nimas.., I'll never force you to marry someone you don't like, even though you have to fight with the elders of Jagadklana." said Ki Sasmito's promise, The rengganis immediately went forward hugging his father tightly.
"You still have my daughter's father and mother, if you are still hoping for Ki Mahesa's youngest son, go on. I'll support you. There will only be many challenges from the youth and elders in Jagadklana." The rengganist was surprised by the words his father had said.
*****************
Wisanggeni accompanied by Jono and Karno take a walk in the center of the crowd of Jagadklana. They see many sellers who take advantage of the arrival of visitors from outside the region, by offering special food and knick knacks produced by the local community.
"She.., what are you looking for?" Jono asked Wisanggeni.
"I just want to go for a walk, there is no desire to shop for something. How about we stop by the food stall at the end of the street? Looks like the place looks lonely."Wisanggeni took two friends to the shop at the end of the road.
"But two, wedang gedang 2." Karno ordered drinks at the waiter.
"Klothek.., klothek.., gleng.., gleng.." The sound of traditional music playing, accompanied some dancers who were dancing in the middle of the road.
"Cether.., cether.." the whip sound is touted along the strains of the traditional show.
Many people ran to the side of the road to take a closer look at the show. Jono looked at Karno and Wisanggeni, but the two people looked relaxed not interested in taking a closer look at the road.
"Why Jono...., you want to take a closer look? Look.., from the moment you return to your village, you don't see the show." said Wisanggeni with a smile.
"Yes Jon.., but it looks like me and Wisang are just looking from here. For me near and far the same, only the difference if you are closer to the show is very risky we collide with other visitors. It'll spark a commotion." Karno added.
Suddenly the waiter delivered their drink order, after saying thank you, Wisanggeni and Karno immediately raised a glass and sipped warm from the middle of the middle. Seeing his two friends drinking, Jono came closer and finally together they drank.
"Surge.., don't get in the way..!" there was a scream from the street beside them sitting. Wisanggeni beckoned his two friends to silence and ignore the incident.
"I said move aside.., have come to meet the Jagadklana, even now dare to block our path. Duakk.." there was a leg kick on a visitor who crowded the road.
"Don't play rough!! It could not be, a little courteous to the visitors." shouted someone protesting the action.
"Bukk.., awwww.." came a cry of pain from someone. Wisanggeni narrowed his eyes, he did not like someone who only showed off his skills to oppress weaker people. But he still strengthened his heart and ears not to intervene.
"Ha.., ha.., ha.., just touched you in pain. Hence move aside, Den Laksito will pass this way." shouted someone arrogantly.
"Aaaaww.., oeekkk, oeekkk." suddenly the sound of a baby in pain.
"Don't hurt my son Den is good.." a mother cried to see her son hit by the man's blow, as she was about to run to get out of the way.
Seeing a mother with her child cornered, Wisanggeni's face immediately red-blackened. Instantly he picked up a small pebble, then he filled it with a deep force of energy. Without looking, the pebble had already pointed and hit the arrogant man earlier.
"Aaaww.., insolent." there were shouts from the group of people who drove the people aside. With a cynical smile, Wisanggeni continued to enjoy wedang gedang and boiled beans.
