Chapter 2: The Difficulty of Making Poetry
In the room where they studied, Arya seemed to be sitting pretty, unrolling palm leaves. in his hand was ready to hold a small knife to write on the palm leaves.
He seemed to be smiling at his friends who one by one entered the room with a frowning face. They seemed still very annoyed to see Arya.
Arya instead waved his hand and his handsome face looked so innocent, he was very annoying. His thick eyebrows seemed to lift - up. His tiny red lips moved to tease his friends.
Sena clenched his fists and pointed at Arya with a curse. "You're a demon, make us walk naked," said Sena as he threw his palm leaves onto the table. Then sit down on the mat, grumbling.
"Don't overdo it, I'm still kind enough not to damage your clothes, just throw them away. You alone can't take the clothes" said Arya as he secretly took out the candy ceremai from his pocket and munched the sweets while blinked his beautiful lashes.
Wira sat behind Arya then held his shoulders gently. "You shouldn't do that. You know our skill is still below your level of skill. We can't take it ourselves. Are you willing to take it for us?" Said Wira.
Arya turned her face back. Wira is their oldest and wisest sibling. Nothing untouched if he had spoken including the silly Arya. Arya nodded his head and said, "Well after we finish learning to make poetry, I will get your clothes" said Arya.
"And I will pray that the devil will eat you in the dark forest," said Jaka, sticking out his tongue.
"Ah..ha..ha..ha..He was not the one who was eaten by the devil, but the devil that was eaten by him. Where is there a devil who is strong against his madness?" Sena said, laughing with laughter.
They finally joined in laughing Sena, "He's right. Sena's right .. You remember when there was a kuntilanak (1) demon standing in front of a grove of banana trees, while we were peeing in fear. Arya even casually invited acquaintances and even conveyed his hand on her shoulder while smiling. flirtatious.
I still remember that kuntilanak face, her pale face is getting paler. She was stressed when Si Arya even stroked his cheek. Then the Kuntilanak immediately flew in fear and never appeared again. She was so scared while flying that we didn't hear her hideous laughter. "Koswara laughed while banging the table where he wrote.
"Yes .. yes right. I even still remember how he hit Kelong Wewe(2) who kidnapped the village chief's son who was only 3 years old. He pulled the ghost's breast with one pull so that Kelong Wewe screamed in pain. And without much repetition, She immediately gave the child of village leader. She hid that Child in a large tree "Said Jaka again this time he laughed while rolling on the floor.
Only Wira smiled wisely while watching his friends burst out laughing. Wira rarely laughs, even if there is anything funny, he just smiles a little while showing his bright white teeth. He is the favorite student of Eyang Ireng Besi.
"That's still not much, who yesterday raised the corpse of the girl who died because it was raped and tortured by people. The corpse was then ordered to find the perpetrator herself so that the child of the tobacco tycoon could not escape his crime. The Arya was really outrageous" said Parta while throwing salak seeds. which he just chewed towards Arya. Arya screamed in pain when the salak seed hit his forehead.
He then took the candy ceremai (3 ) from his pocket then threw Parta back and soon they were throwing each other using whole salak (4) fruit and ceremai candy. The atmosphere was chaotic until their teacher arrived.
What a wrath the old man had been their teacher for nearly ten years. His white clothes seemed to be fluttering when he caught the salak fruit and ceremai sweets thrown by his students.
"You guys !! When are you going to grow up? You are all over seventeen. You should have had children. But even joking like a kid. Crazy !!" said Eyang Ireng Besi with a red face.
Suddenly all mouths closed. And they immediately sat upright in front of their respective tables. Their heads were bowed in guilt. And when Eyang Ireng Besi asked what was wrong, all the index fingers pointed compactly towards Arya.
Arya pointed to his chest while saying, "Me? How could I myself. Teacher, you saw how they threw salak fruit at me. So it's not only me who is wrong, they are also wrong" said Arya fiercely.
"But you started it," said Sena no less fiercely.
"Who was the first to stone me?" Arya did not want to lose.
"SHUT UP !! I could die standing because of you" said Eyang Ireng iron as he hit his head with the palm of his hand. He had repeatedly picked up and trained disciples. Only this time did he get a student like now. The authority of his padepokan (5 ) is well known in the world of martial arts and mysticism. It was already destroyed by the actions of his students. And he knows for sure that behind this student's behavior, Arya is the main accused.
Arya is a student who has succeeded in being the culprit of his friends. Like rotten tomatoes in a tomato crate. There is only one tomato, but because it is rotten, it makes all the tomatoes in the crate rot too.
"Arya .. Quickly you make two verses of poetry about the darkness of night and read it in front of your friends!" Said Eyang Ireng iron while sitting in front of his students. Everyone fell silent, making poetry for them was the most difficult lesson compared to other lessons. They want to be people who are good at martial arts and mysticism. Not wanting to be a poet. But somehow once a week every Monday they have to learn to compose and read poetry or poetry.
Jaka who couldn't stand it finally raised his hand and asked, " Teacher .. why do we have to make poetry? I don't want to be able to make poetry. It's too difficult for me" Said Jaka with a face begging and sad.
His friends immediately looked at Jaka with gratitude. Jaka seemed to voice their hearts too. If possible, the lesson of making poetry is eliminated on this earth and replaced with the skill of raising corpses or summoning spirits or knocking down trees with a wink or the skill of walking on water or the knowledge of riding a sword or spear that glides on water or air.
