Sanggana Swordsman
117. Brother One Country
*Holy Blood Ring*
Su Ntai has a simple house without a front yard, but has a kitchen and backyard that is quite spacious. The house is a mixture of stone, sand and wood.
Upon arrival at the house, Su Ntai did not enter through the front door, but turned directly into the backyard. His wife spends most of her time in the backyard every day.
In the backyard there is a stables for two horses, there is a clothesline and food that is worth drying, including there is a martial arts training ground.
It seemed that a worn-out white-clothed woman was busy in the kitchen that was fused with the backyard. A boy, about eight years old, was training with a wooden man.
“My wife! My wife!” exclaiming Su Ntai called out like there was something very emergency, even though he had not opened the back yard door.
The call surprised the woman in the kitchen. Also surprised the boys who were training. The white and young lady immediately got up and walked a few steps into the courtyard. She looked seriously at her husband who had opened the back gate.
“Dad!” call a boy. He was about to run to his father, but he broke his intention when he saw behind his father that there were two beautiful women like two angels from the land of Antabaratah. Not only the admiration that struck the child, but also the feeling of horror because one of the two beautiful women had long fingernails and a pair of eyes sharp like a wild beast.
Finally the boy ran to his mother.
“My wife, guess what, I brought two guests from where?” asked Su Ntai in his mother tongue.
The beautiful but simple-looking woman looked seriously at the two women who were none other than Tirana and Puspa.
“Clearly her face is not the faces of this country,” said wife Su Ntai slowly to her husband, using the language of the country.
Tirana and Puspa did not understand the husband and wife conversation. However, they were suspicious to see the facial model that was owned by Su Ntai's wife.
“The face of his original wife had the Land of Jawi,” Tirana told Puspa.
“Are they from my country?” ask the wife, still speaking a language that was not understood by their two guests.
“True,” replied Su Ntai.
“I met them in the market. They have language problems. I invited them to come as a gift for you,” Su Ntai said.
Hearing her husband's words, she suddenly blushed the wife's white face. He smothered his own mouth and nose as sadness rumbled in his chest.
“Hiks!” Come out crying wife.
Su Ntai only smiled seeing his wife's reaction. He hugged his wife, who smiled in the tears of his day. The wife then broke away from her husband and walked to the front of Tirana and Puspa.
“Are you from Tanah Jawi?” asked Su Ntai's wife in a language that all Tirana and Puspa could understand.
“True,” replied Tirana while smiling sweetly.
While Puspa only smiled grinning, revealing his teeth that still left a little color of snake blood.
“After ten years, I finally met my fellow countrymen,” said Su Ntai's wife, smiling widely, as if she was very happy and happy. His eyes were still covered in tears.
“My name is Sinda Nirgana,” said wife Su Ntai introduced herself.
“He is the son of a duke whom I brought running to my country,” said Su Ntai in the language of the land of Jawi.
“He did not run me, but we ran together,” Sinda Nirgana said. He smiled in memory of their crazy love ten years ago.
Tirana smiled at Sinda Nirgana's defense of her husband.
“This is Miss Tirana, and this is Miss Puspa,” said Su Ntai introducing her two guests. He then called his son who was silent near the kitchen, “Su Nirgana, come here! Don't be afraid!”
The boy with a somewhat fearful feeling, he drew closer to his father and mother.
“Look at my son, his face follows his mother more,” said Su Ntai.
Su Nirgana looked at Puspa continuously, without a smile. While Puspa just smiled grinning.
Su Nirgana chose to retreat and take cover behind her father's back. He did not understand the words of Puspa.
“Hahaha!” Su Ntai laughed at the fear of his son.
“Do not be afraid, Little Sister. Puspa is creepy, but he is very kind,” Tirana told Su Nirgana with a smile.
“Hihihik!” tawa Puspa heard the words of Tirana.
Sinda Nirgana then translated the words Tirana for her son, making Su Nirgana just wry.
“My wife, of course you have a lot of things you want to tell them, so I decided to help them so that they can easily finish their business in this country, then can return safely to your country,” said Su Ntai.
“Thank you my husband. They are my brothers. I'm very grateful if you're willing to help them,” said Sinda Nirgana.
“Nona Tirana is looking for her future husband in the west. So, I'll take them west. For a while you and Su Nirgana I left. You serve them first, I went for a while to borrow a horse for a trip to the west,” Su Ntai said.
“Iya,” replied Sinda Nirgana smiling at her husband.
“Nirgana, come with Dad,” invite Su Ntai in his original language.
Su Ntai then stepped away leaving the three women. Su Nirgana followed her father.
“Dad, are they good people?” asked Su Nirgana in her father tongue.
“They are good people from your mother's land. They will not do evil to your mother, because they need your father's help to go west,” Su Ntai said.
“You sit down first, I will cook noodles for you,” said Sinda Nirgana.
Tirana and Puspa sat on a simple wooden couch. Sinda immediately busied herself in the kitchen to cook noodles.
Not for how long. Sinda Nirgana had come with a tray on which were three bowls of boiled noodles and three pairs of chopsticks. Sinda placed the bowl of noodles in front of her two guests.
Puspa looked at the noodles that were still reflecting the hot smoke. However, without waiting for a long time, Puspa took the bowl with his left hand, while his right hand went into the noodles. His long nails he used to clamp the sheets of noodles and then poured into his mouth that gaped up. Puspa even inhaled the noodle soup that is still hot.
“Hahaha!” tirana Laughter saw how to eat Puspa.
Sinda can only be slanted, especially because the noodle sauce is still hot.
“Why laugh at Puspa?!” Puspa rebuking Tirana.
“How to eat this food is to use this tool,” said Tirana, showing a pair of chopsticks that he had already held.
Tirana then grabbed her noodle bowl and used chopsticks to lift the string of noodles into her mouth. However, the noodles again slid down into the bowl.
“Hihihik!” It was Puspa's turn to laugh at Tirana.
Sinda chuckled at Tirana's wrong way of holding chopsticks. Tirana still tried to lift the noodles with chopsticks that were tightly pinched. Although the way he held it was wrong, but finally Tirana managed to also put noodles into his mouth, even with careful movements.
“I want to send a message to my father, Duke of the Silk Coral. Tell me about my current condition. I live happily in Lor We Country. I don't want them to worry about me. Will you be back?” sinda Nirgana said some time later.
“Yes, we will return as soon as we have to solve one important matter,” Tirana replied. Then the question turned around, “How did you fall in love with Ki Suntai?”
“My husband is a good traveler. One day, he saved my life from a bad guy. I fell in love with him too. My father and mother were against our relationship. So we decided to run away. Love is blind. Even I was thinking, I was ready if I had to die in the middle of the ocean.”
“I too am on my way for my love,” said Tirana.
“Love to the Forest Cat. Hihihik!” chirps Puspa then laugh.
“Come, it's time we leave for the west!” exclaimed Su Ntai suddenly. He had returned with a horse, complete with his saddle.
Su Nirgana sat on the saddle on the horse's back. (BH)
