“Are you still thinking about what happened this afternoon, baby?”
“No teacher, I no longer think about it.”
“Good, sleep next to me, forget everything we have done during this odyssey, let your sleep can be a little quiet.”
“Good teacher.”
After obtaining permission from Mangkuto, Seruni lay beside Mangkuto. But when Seruni was about to close his eyes, his ears that have expertise in hearing motion, spontaneously made him sit down and run towards the arrival of sound.
“Seruni, wait!” shouted Mangkuto, who saw Seruni instantly dart away leaving him.
Mesti Seruni heard Mangkuto call out to her, yet she kept combing the area around them resting.
“What's Seruni?” asked Mangkuto after seeing Seruni back.
“I feel the presence of someone watching our gestures teacher.”
“That's just your alusination baby, the proof is I didn't listen to anything.”
“True teacher, I didn't lie!”
“Yes, I believe in you, then let's continue the rest, tomorrow we will travel far, of course need energy is not?”
“Iya teacher, alright,” Seruni replied in a soft voice.
Seruni must have been lying next to Mangkuto, but his eyes were wild, seeing the motion around him.
Not so long later, Seruni discovered what had made him suspicious. An old man suddenly appeared before him.
“Old man, why are the nights coming here?” ask Seruni wonder.
“Oh, I just want to take a walk, son.”
“The streets, in the middle of the forest is this dark? did I not hear wrong?”
“No, you two didn't hear wrong at all. The light of your bonfire that provoked me to come here.”
“Tell me what need did you come here for?” tanya Seruni urged the old man.
“Actually I just want to heat up my old body son.”
“But I can't believe, you must be hiding something from both of us.”
“If you don't believe, yes! anyway I'm here, just to heat my body, no other purpose really,” denied the old man.
Seeing the suspicious man, Seruni and Mangkuto did not believe him immediately. In fact, Seruni no longer wanted to lie next to his teacher, preferring to sit in front of a burning bonfire.
“May I warm my body in front of this bonfire?” ask the man.
“Please,” replied Seruni in a flat voice.
At the time the old man was warming his body, Seruni just looked at him tampa blinked, as his suspicions had not been answered back then.
“If I may know, where are you actually from?” ask the man in a soft voice.
“We are both only travelers Sir,” replied Seruni.
“Wandering, wandering where?”
“Follow wherever our feet step.”
“Where to? what do you mean. As far as I know, wandering people must have a purpose, but you two wandering aimless, strange right?”
“Any how do you mean Mr?”
“Yes weird! if you can get out of this place.”
“Why should you come out as soon as possible, is this area the territory of Mr?”
“Not, no! actually, this is the territory of the white tiger.”
“Ooo, this white tiger power area huh, sir?” asked Mangkuto to know.
“Iya, they have all long ruled this region.”
“Who is it, white tiger teacher?” ask Seruni to Mangkuto.
“Entahlah, I also do not know Seruni,” replied Mangkuto slowly.
“So, these two of you, are a pair of teachers and students, huh?”
“Bantang you know, between teacher and student in a relationship.”
“Who said Sir?”
“That's what my college guidebook says.”
“They become abstinence, if they are brothers and sisters. Bonding is what makes them not to have each other.”
“Yes, whatever you guys are! clearly, I've been trying to warn you both. Now please continue your sleep I want to go.”
“Ya please!” answer Mangkuto briefly.
Then the old man passed away leaving behind the seruni and Mangkuto, he disappeared in the pitch-black and gripping night.
“Basic old man freak!” grunts Mangkuto slowly.
After the man moved away, Seruni and Mangkuto resumed their sleep, until dawn, coming towards the two of them.
“Let's get ready Seruni,” Mangkuto said in a soft voice.
“I'm still sleepy teacher, it feels like my body aches all.”
“Alright, continue your sleep, I will sit here waiting,” replied Mangkuto.
When Seruni really fell asleep soundly, Mangkuto felt bored waiting for Seruni who did not wake up from his sleep, then he was reminded of his flute, given by Grandpa Pakih.
Then he took the flute, and blew it slowly. When Mangkuto first blew it, Seruni immediately woke up, as his voice was very deafening.
“Aduh guru, why the noise anyway?”
“Interrupt, yes?”
“That voice, makes my eardrum allergic and itchy.”
“Ah you are Seruni, usually just insult me.”
“Sini flute, let me blow it,” said Seruni, while taking the flute from Mangkuto's hand.
“Can you blow it?”
“That's mah about easy guru.”
“Try you blow,” said Mangkuto who can't wait to hear it.
“Let's go up the tree teacher, I'll blow it up there,” take Seruni to her teacher.
Because of the curiosity that Mangkuto has, he finally followed the desire of Seruni, to climb a large tree.
“Teacher, I will blow this flute using the energy in me, so teacher stay behind me.”
“Good.”
After Mangkuto was right behind Seruni, the girl immediately blew the powerful Flute Grandpa Pakih gave her.
Not just good at silat, seruni turned out to be smart in playing flute, sura puffed flute so touching, Mangkuto who was behind him had hallucinated, could marry Seruni, and he was able to get married, a beautiful girl who was with him all the time.
“Your flute voice, very beautiful Seruni, I became amazed at him,” praise Mangkuto on Seruni.
Hearing the praise, Seruni looked directly at her teacher, a handsome man who always faithfully followed her wherever she went.
“Teacher why cry?” seruni asked as she wiped away the tears that had dripped down the two cheeks of the man.
“I am moved Seruni, I remember everything, I also hope someday we can both get married.”
Hearing Mangkuto's words laden with millions of expectations, Seruni immediately leaned her head against Mangkuto's shoulder.
“Hopefully the goodwill of the teacher, will be in an ijabah by Allah who is almighty to hear.”
“Aamiin.!”
Long they both, enjoying the beautiful atmosphere of nature from the top of the trees, the scenery that stretched wide before them, made the heart calm and swept them into a very pleasant past.
Do not want it to feel like the morning was changed by a stinging afternoon, because the adventure must they continue again.
