Sanggana Swordsman
6: Where is Sukma?
*Asmara Seal Sakti (Assessa)*
Gatri Yandana along with dozens of students of Perguruan Tiga Tapak in green-green uniforms had been standing waiting in front of the third main gate, the gate of the bamboo fort of the college. Together with Gatri Yandana stands Obang Kenari and Tembas Rawa.
Obang Kenari is a white haired grandmother dressed in all black. He was a physician at the college. Tembas Rawa was a man who was already over thirty years old, perhaps forty. He was the main student at the college.
The disciples had already formed two rows facing each other separated by a road right in front of Gatri Yandana.
The pedicure drawn by the two horses was already visible and running was heading towards those who were bustling waiting.
The face of Gatri Yandana looks bright with a smile that is responsible, showing the impatience to see the adult form of his daughter, which Sigangga said is getting beautiful.
“Who is the man who is with the Chairman?” obang Kenari asked Gatri Yandana.
They can already see the existence of Jaga Manta as the Chairman of Tiga Tread College and the figure of Helai Sejengkal who sits in the coachman position.
“People who are beside the Chairman are beautiful women, Nyi,” said Tembas Rawa straightened out Obang Kenari's crooked view.
“Hah!” shock Obang Kenari and Gatri Yandana together.
“My daughter turned so weird like that?” said Gatri Yandana suddenly felt shocked, he could not believe if Kerling Sukma changed drastically.
“Dewi Mata Hati has forced Sukma to follow her hairstyle!” obang Kenari said.
“Second Master Mother, it is not Kerling Sukma. Take a good look,” said Tembas Rawa.
Gatri Yandana and Obang Kenari try to focus more and sharpen their eyesight to the figure on the side of Jaga Manta. The closer the distance of the pedati also makes what they see more clear.
They could also see the whereabouts of two other people sitting on the pedati wagon. However, they could confirm that the other two people were not Kerling Sukma, but rather an old grandmother and a beautiful woman in an adult manner.
“Where is Sukma? I didn't see it,” said Gatri Yandana, her smile turning into confusion.
“Iya, there is no Sister Sukma,” said Tembas Rawa anyway, strengthening the words of Second Teacher Mother.
“Our respect, Chairman!” shouting simultaneously dozens of students who lined up after getting the cue from a main disciple. They half bowed while his hands were courting.
That honor they did when the horse's pedicure had arrived before them.
Gatri Yandana, Obang Kenari and Tembas Rawa chose to wait. Initially Gatri Yandana intended to directly pick up his daughter before getting off the pedati, but in fact Kerling Sukma did not exist.
The more clearly they saw the faces of the women Jaga Manta brought in one pedati. Gatri Yandana and Obang Kenari only know Nyi Lampingiwa because the powerful figure had come to borrow a heirloom owned by Sangar Hentak, the late Chairman of Tiga Tapak College or the father of Jaga Manta.
Keep Manta down with Helai Sejengkal who immediately develops a smile to Gatri Yandana and the elders. Getara Cinta painstakingly helped Nyi Lampingiwa get off the pedati wagon. He then followed up to meet Gantri Yandana and others.
“Honor Ananda, Second Mother!” take care of Manta to Gatri Yandana.
“Tadi Sigangga reported the arrival of your sister Kerling Sukma, why is there no?” ask Gatri Yandana. However, not yet Jaga Manta replied, Gatri Yandana has cursed annoyed, “Sigangga less taught! I was also stupid to believe his unreasonable report. How could Sukma who is in the Broken Heart Ravine meet you who is going to the residence of Nyi Lampingiwa?”
Keep Manta, Getara Love and Helai Sejengkal just smiling at the grunts of Gatri Yandana.
“Ah, it is inappropriate for me to swear when a guest comes,” said Gatri Yandana as she quickly smiled, ignoring her frustration.
“Mother!” call one sudden soft voice that is so close to Gatri Yandana's ear, as one smooth cheek comes from behind stuck to the cheek. Two hands also emerged from behind Gatri who was coiled in the stomach. At that moment Gatri felt a woman's body stuck to her back. Hugged it tight.
Gatri Yandana was surprised not to play. For a moment he was stunned, as if letting his body be tightly embraced by the woman behind him.
As if awakened, Gatri Yandana quickly looked to the side while slightly pulling her head to give distance to the face that hitchhiked on her right shoulder.
The bright green-eyed beautiful face just smiled broadly at Gatri Yandana's reaction.
“Hihihi! Sukmaaa!” peekik Gatri Yandana tight because so happy.
Gatri Yandana immediately turned around and hugged her daughter who turned out to be bigger than she used to be. He even kissed the face of his only biological daughter several times because she was so happy and grateful.
“Hihihi!” Kerling Sukma also laughed in the face of the happiness of her mother, until she wavered.
After hugging and kissing Kerling Sukma, Gatri Yandana has not yet released her daughter. He held her arms tightly and looked deeply at her face, as if trying to memorize inches per inch of the green-eyed girl's face.
“Ehem! Looks like I did not get part of the hug ration,” Obang Kenari chirped while looking the other way.
Hearing the words of Obang Kenari, Gatri Yandana laughed. He finally released Kerling Sukma. Only then did Kerling Sukma turn to embrace Obang Kenari, the person who first touched and carried him when he was first born into the world.
“It looks like Obang is getting healthier, his embrace is getting stronger,” said Kerling Sukma when she felt the grandmother's embrace.
“Hehehe!” chuckle Obang Kenari heard the words of Kerling Sukma. He then took off his embrace and wiped a clear water at the corner of his old eye. “Does the Goddess of the Hearts train you so hard?”
“No, Obang. Teacher actually loves me very much, more dear than to his other students,” replied Kerling Sukma while smiling soothing the feeling of the healer.
Kerling Sukma then turned to Tembas Rawa.
“Rear Tembas!” greeting Kerling Sukma to Tembas Rawa.
“Dear, I can not hug,” said Tembas Rawa while laughing.
“Hihihi! If I allow, later my future husband can be angry,” reply Kerling Sukma also joking.
Jejurerr!
Like hearing lightning in the heat of the day. Said “my husband candidates” instantly surprised Gatri Yandana and Obang Kenari.
“Prospective husband? What husband, Sukma? You haven't been home all this time, why all of a sudden there's a potential husband?” gatri Yandana asked with a serious knit eyebrow.
“Let me tell you inside, Mother,” said Kerling Sukma softly. “Nah, introduce, this is Helai Sejengkal, his future wife, Kakang Jaga.”
“Hah!” pekik Keep Manta and Strands Angkal together, surprised when Kerling Sukma introduced the short-haired girl.
“It's not like that, Second Mother. We both have no deal. We are both still a timid time,” objected Keep Manta fast.
“Your life is almost four heads, it's a shame if it's still a timid time!” obang Kenari.
Keep Manta just smiling wryly hearing the words Obang Kenari.
“And this Queen Getara Love,” said Kerling Sukma again introduced Getara Love.
Widen simultaneously the circumference of their eyes hear the name Getara Cinta there are frills “ratu”nya.
“Our respect, Her Majesty The Queen!” gatri Yandana said as she immediately went down on her knees in respect.
Gatri Yandana's actions were soon followed by Obang Kenari and all students of Perguruan Tiga Tapak. The condition made Getara Cinta so confused because she is now no longer a queen and does not have a kingdom.
“Wake up all of you!” getara Cinta.
Gatri Yandana and the others immediately got back up.
“And this is...”.
“We already know him, Sukma,” said Gatri Yandana cut the words of Kerling Sukma when she wanted to introduce Nyi Lampingiwa.
“Hehehe!” kekeh Nyi Lampingiwa's.
“How are you, Lampingiwa?” ask Obang Kenari as he approached Nyi Lampingiwa who was standing next to Getara Cinta.
“Hehehe! I'm fine, Obang,” replied Nyi Lampingiwa with a laugh.
“Second Mother, it's good we talk more inside,” said Jaga Manta.
“Mari, Chairman!” gatri Yandana said while shifting to open the road so Jaga Manta as the chairman of the college walked in first. (BH)
