Sanggana Swordsman
51. Pussy
*Kahyangan Arak*
Joko decided to turn around. This time he chose to exert the science of lightening his body to more quickly get to the fork of the road before and go north.
The trip back and forth was quite time consuming Joko. In a shorter time, Joko returned to the T-junction. It doesn't stop. He kept darting down the road that along his right side was a high wall. While the afternoon sun seems to be getting faster plunging to the west.
Suddenly Joko stopped. His attention was seized by an object moving between large chunks of rock on the left. The distance away from the view makes Joko suspect that the moving object is an animal. It's grey.
To ascertain whether it was an animal or a human or a dedemite, Calm Joko flashed calmly approaching the thing. Joko stopped on a rock as big as an adult elephant. Only then did Joko make sure that the moving object was the back of a human wearing gray clothes. His clothes were dirty and torn, but did not reveal his skin because of the layers of his clothes.
The figure was crouching in the bottom corner of the rock. His hair was long and dirty with dust. There was a sound like he was scratching the ground. Paying attention to the shape of her hips, Joko made sure that the figure that had not been seen was a woman.
“Nisaak!” call Joko somewhat hesitatingly from the top of the rock behind the person.
However, the woman was unmoved, she remained solemn with her work under the rock.
“Nisaak!” call Joko again. This time the intonation of the voice he raised a little.
After waiting for a moment, neither the answer nor the reaction was given by the seedy woman.
“Nisaak!” call Joko hard.
“Arrr!”
Suddenly the woman immediately looked back while bluffing with an angry face like a tiger threatening its prey.
Joko was somewhat surprised by the sudden reaction. The woman showed an angry face with blood-soaked lips and teeth. His face was obscure by the dry mud that was tearing his face a lot. One hand held a piece of the snake's body that some had eaten. Seen his fingernails long pointed again deep black. The figure of the woman is so dirty and seedy, also creepy. He stared intently at Joko while grinning. He then bit again the small snake in his hand and chewed on it.
The figure of the woman then stood up while still staring intently at Joko. Similarly as he walked away from his crouching spot. Under the rock where he was crouched was seen a hole of dry soil that was scratched. No wooden or iron tools were used for scraping, it showed that the dirty woman dug a hole with her nails.
“Nisaak, wait!” call Joko then jump down and block the woman for five steps.
“Gerrr!” The woman growled like a beast while advancing three steps as if she was about to attack Joko.
Joko immediately backed down with three acts. Joko's actions make her look like she's scared. The woman stopped snarling and grinning.
“Chiih!” Suddenly the woman ran to Joko while sticking out her hand holding the snake piece, like trying to scare Joko with the snake carcass.
Joko again jumped back up to the top of the rock.
“Hihihik!”
Joko's avoidance made the woman giggle. After laughing to herself, the woman jumps up the high to chase after Joko and frighten her with a piece of snake.
Joko was forced to jump from one chunk of rock to another chunk of rock avoiding the chase. The woman continued to laugh while chasing Joko.
“Stop, Nisanak!” joko exclaimed a bit loudly in the end, making the woman stop on another rock.
“Why? Afraid of Puspa?” ask the woman by saying her name, which is Puspa. He laughed again, judging Joko a funny person.
“No,” Joko replied. “I'm afraid of you.”
“Heh! Offhanded!” puspa Umpat. “Puspa beautiful like this are you afraid? Blind eyes!”
Wanted Joko to laugh at Puspa's words, but she endured.
“Why do you eat snakes?” ask Joko.
“I like the mature,” said Joko with the intention of refusing.
Blips!
Suddenly from Puspa's right hand that was holding the snake piece came out a blazing fire. Amazingly, the fire was not yellow, but blue. In a short time, the aroma of grilled meat that tasted delicious to the smell of Joko. The fire in Puspa's hand was extinguished, and a piece of ripe snake meat remained.
“Puspa has made mature,” said Puspa while stretching his hand from far to Joko.
“I like boiled ripe,” kilah Joko.
“Eee,” drone Puspa thought as he scratched his left cheek, making the white real skin look only three scratch lines. Then he said, “Ya already if you don't want to, it's good Puspa swallow alone.”
“I want to go to Windscreen Kingdom, but I don't know the direction,” Joko said.
“Evil, the people are evil,” said Puspa.
Joko momentarily fell silent. While Puspa continued to chew his food.
“If the Forest Kingdom Fogs?” ask Joko.
“Very evil. Getara Cinta wants to catch Puspa, Aswa Tara wants to kill Puspa!” puspa said a little emotional.
“Why do you want to be arrested and killed?”
“They are afraid that Puspa will become queen, hihihik!” replied Puspa and laughed.
“Why can you be queen?” joko asked who caught the strangeness in Puspa's words. Puspa sounded so familiar in mentioning the two rulers in the Rocky Jungle.
“Hihihi! Secret, you can't know!” puspa.
“Although he looks crazy, but he can understand my words,” Joko said inwardly. He then asked Puspa, “Can you help me? Because, it's getting dark soon.”
“Help what? But who are you soldier?” puspa asked with a sharp, suspicious look.
“I am not a warrior Queen Getara Cinta or Queen Aswa Tara. I want to help my friend who is in the Windscreen Kingdom,” replied Joko.
“Your friend gotara Cinta? He is evil, he likes to catch people. You have to get there quickly to keep your friend safe,” said Puspa. “Follow Puspa! Puspa will take you to the Black Aisle!”
Puspa immediately flashed towards the north. His body fast. Showing that Puspa has a low devotion. He walked down the road along the cliff. While Joko Calm followed behind.
“Puspa! Is far?” ask Joko from behind.
“Heh! Why do you know the name Puspa?” ask Puspa while still darting.
“You yourself called your name Puspa,” replied Joko.
“Hihihi!” Puspa laughed to himself, as if he had just woken up.
“Women are sane but stupid or half-hearted crazy?” batin Joko's.
After a long time darting north, Puspa turned. There is a fairly wide cliff gap that turns east. The cliff gap is like the meeting point of two large cliff ends that squeeze each other. There is still sunlight that can be pierced into the cliff room as lighting.
Meanwhile, the sun had approached the mountain ridge on the west side. Nature will soon be dark. (BH)
