The White Lotus Science
Part 43 Meet Grandpa Pakih

"Thank you, if Grandpa doesn't feel offended and annoyed."

"Yes, both boys. If you're cold, sleep in grandfather's cabin. Because it's safer there than it is here. Anyway, soon the sea water will rise, this place must be daydreamed by the waves," explained Pakih grandfather.

"Oh so yes, Cake. Is Grandpa's cottage not battered by the waves?"

"No, Grandpa's cottage has a cage underneath, so the sea water doesn't reach the floor of the cottage."

"alright. Then, we'll go with Grandpa."

"Come, come! the cabin's over there!" appoint Grandpa Pakih, while heading to his residence.

"Alright Cake" replied Seruni slowly.

Due to an offer from Grandpa Pakih, then Seruni and Mangkuto, following the old Grandpa, headed for his small cottage. Must be small but look beautiful, with neatly woven bamboo walls and clean floorboards.

That's where Grandpa Pakih, daily life. Spending his old time, in solitude.

"Well, this is Grandpa's cottage, you can sleep here until morning."

"Alright Cake, thank you for the kindness of Budi Grandpa," said Seruni slowly.

"Yes, you're both boys."

With a feeling of pleasure, Seruni climbed up the stairs of the cottage. Upon arrival inside, it would be surprising that Seruni and Mangkuto, when he saw along the walls of the cottage, there were bottles of alcoholic beverages lined up neatly.

"Grandpa has a hobby of drinking beer?" asked Mangkuto to know.

"Not really, but because the area is cold at night, you have to drink. But not much, just heating the body.

"Oh so."

"O yes, if you may know, where are you two going?"

"We are just ordinary travelers, Kek," replied Mangkuto.

"True Cake, the two of us just wandered," said Seruni.

"Yes, traveling. But in wandering, you must have a certain purpose, what is the purpose?"

"The main goal is to find the whereabouts of my parents, who were reportedly kidnapped by the Queen's flirtatious demon. In addition, we both traveled, to gain knowledge. Be it a science of religion and also a science of wisdom. That can be useful to ourselves and to many people.

"Good, good. Grandpa agrees, and if you can find out, where are you going to study?"

Anywhere and anywhere, there are teachers willing to teach both of us. We're ready to go to him."

"Gee, Grandpa is so amazed at you guys. Young but smart-minded."

"Dad said, studying it doesn't matter where and when. Nature can also be made a teacher, if we can reap the wisdom, which is contained in every event, which is caused by it."

"Good, good. Yeah, that's true. But there's something, that's stuck in Grandpa's heart, about your words."

"What is a Cake?" tanya Seruni wanted to know.

"It looks like your words, Grandpa said them. If you can tell, what's your father's name?"

"My father's name is Datuak Malelo."

"Really Grandpa's guess."

"What's the matter, Grandpa, do you know my father?"

"That means you're the son of my student, Datuak Malelo, who possesses the unsurpassed science of finger lentics."

"That's really Cake, means Grandpa is my teacher's grandfather."

"Yes son, this Grandpa is your Grandpa teacher. It's nice that Grandpa can meet, with Grandpa's own granddaughter."

Hearing Grandpa's words, Seruni's heart was very happy. Since he could visit his teacher's grandfather, it must be completely unaware of him.

"Actually your father, has a lot of magic. Which no other warrior has."

"Right Cake. Recently, Father also taught me the science of the white lotus, obtained from a sacred book, which no swordsman has ever studied."

"I never asked Dad, Cake. Where did he get the book, but when Dad taught me the science, Dad himself had a little trouble."

"Why is he having trouble teaching you his knowledge?"

"Because the book has never been studied by any swordsman, including my own father."

"O so," Grandpa Pakih replied, nodding his head.

"Yes the cake."

"If you may know, where are you going now?"

"The two of us planned to go to the coastal area because according to my father there was a woman, who taught good manners, and good manners. So that I could learn, how to be a Muslim woman."

"Well your father, he knows a lot about educating his daughter. To be a devout Muslim."

"God willing, Cake. May my father's intention, in harmony with my ideals, to become a true Muslim."

"Then, who's next to you right now?"

"He's my teacher Kek, his name is Mangkuto. He taught me the science of canuragan."

Hearing Seruni introduce herself, to Grandpa Pakih, Mangkuto only smiled widely.

"In addition to the knowledge taught by my father, this teacher of mine, also taught me a pair of poisonous swordsmanship and silk fan science."

"Well, you guys are great warriors."

"We, only warriors can cake."

"You're too low, son."

Hearing Grandpa Pakih's words, Seruni just bowed silently.

"O yes, do you know what the name of the woman you were going to in that coastal area was?"

"Say Dad, the woman was named Bundo kanduang. I don't know what that father meant. But I'm gonna stay there, see that woman."

"If grandfather can suggest, it seems like grandfather knows well with the woman called Bundo the bladder. But as far as Grandpa knew, that woman had long since disappeared. Up to now, don't know where the rimba is."

"Then why did Dad, tell me to study with that woman, Cake?"

"Maybe the woman can teach the ordinance of how a woman adapts to her family and environment."

"Ooo, so is it."

"If you could find out what your real name is?"

"My name is Seruni, Cake."

"O, Seruni yes.a very beautiful name. Your father, did he ever teach you the science of flickering his fingers?"

"Udah Kek, that knowledge I have absorbed perfectly. I learned the science in just one night, and it was unbeknownst to my father."

"One night, are you serious?" ask Grandpa Pakih not to believe it.

"Yes, I'm serious. Why would I lie to Grandpa, there's no luck either."

"That means you have a genius mind, for the quickest commoner the science will be absorbed for two years. Like your father, he's been studying the science for over two years."

"Dad told me that too, Cake."

"Good, good. Grandfather was happy to hear, your father was, a swordsman chose a match in this Minang area. But ever since she got married, she doesn't want to be in the martial world anymore."

"Yes Kek, Dad also told me about it, he purposely did it to protect us his family."

"Yes, ever since he got married, your father would rather be alone living with his family in the woods, than hanging out with the community a lot."
