1 A Ridiculous Young Man

The atmosphere looks very peaceful in a valley at the foot of Mount Salak. The waterfall flowed over the rocks and fell on the river in front of him. You can see a group of young men taking a shower while joking. They laughed while throwing fruit from the Loa Tree which had fallen into the river.

They only wore white knee-length shorts while their tops were tucked away on a large rock beside them. The sound of their laughter shook the mountains, making the animals all over the forest running around.

Usually there is a story heard. The story of the angels who were bathing in a river on the edge of the forest. They descended from the sky through a rainbow bridge.

But this time it was the angel who was bathing it were men. The young men numbered six people and all of them were handsome and clean skinned. Their ages are around 17 to 20 years.

If there were girls who knew their activities, she would not have been willing to look away because of the handsome young men who were bathing.

It is said that long ago there was a hunter man who witnessed the angels from heaven coming down to earth to bathe. And then he stole the angel's scarf so that the angel could not fly back to the sky. Then the hunter married the angel.

At this time there were no hunters who stole the angel's clothes. There is a tall, handsome young man with olive skin and long hair tied in a ponytail using a white ribbon too. His thick eyebrows seemed to move. He walked creeping toward the group of clothes of the young men.

The chirping of birds could be heard shouting back and forth with the sound of monkeys swinging from branch to branch in the forest.

The young man grinned and picked up the pile of clothes than in one fell swoop he threw all the clothes scattered.

The young man obviously used his inner strength when throwing the clothes because when he threw the clothes, the clothes scattered over the top of the tree which was growing in the forest.

After doing his prank work, the young man walked casually to them. In his hand is bright yellow guava. He chewed it while approaching the young men.

"Do not take a long bath in this river. You know the king of the snake demon said he was looking for a mate for his favorite daughter .. later you will be pulled into the river and married to her" said the young man while sitting on a large rock sitting while moving. his legs up and down

"Very stupid ... didn't he say, the girl of the snake king demon is very beautiful. Nyi Kentring Manik the youngest is the most beautiful .. I don't mind" said a young man named Jaka out of the water. His muscular and well-built body immediately looked very beautiful.

"Well .. just try to marry her, our teacher Grandmother Ireng iron will immediately hang you on the Loa tree " Said the young man still chewing guava in his hand.

"Arya. Why don't you take a shower?" Said another young man named Sena asked the young man who was sitting on the rock.

Arya, the name of the young man, laughed off the hook. "I don't want to take a bath. I had a bath earlier in the well of the Padepokan. Well .... You guys quickly finish the shower - bathing. The teacher said you should wait at the hermitage to learn to write poetry" said Arya as she walked away leaving them.

"Poetry writing practice again?" Koswara seemed to frown.

"Actually, the teacher wants us to become swordsmen or wants us to become poets. Why are we recently being asked to practice writing and reading poetry and poetry? I hate to do it" said Koswara to his friend.

"How do I know? The aim of the teacher is telling us to do that. Here only Arya is doing it with great joy. The child is a genius at everything. In physical sciences he excels, in literature too he can, the science of internal power and lighten his body too. the tallest among us. Is he the son of a human or the son of a god? "said Parta as he followed his friends out of the river.

But then their chatter stopped because Jaka seemed to scream full of anger,

"ARYA .. DAMN YOU !! You threw our clothes to the top of the tree" said Jaka while turning his head to his friends. Her feet stomped on the ground in anger. His friends immediately got out of the river in a hurry. And they were amazed to see that all their clothes were not on the rock.

Jaka then pointed up. again - again his friends were amazed to see their clothes scattered on top of the tree. They were immediately furious. How could they take their clothes from the top of such a tall tree? their skills had not yet reached the level of being able to leap onto the tops of such tall trees.

"ARYA .. bastard .. I will kill you .." said Koswara, clenching his hands. He is very angry with Arya.

He really wanted to beat up that brat. Arya was the smartest and most ridiculous student at Padepokan Sanghyang Wesi. His prank behavior makes his friends always become victims of his pranks.

But even so, no one really hates Arya considering that Arya is said to be a child who has no parents. If they were entrusted to this Padepokan by their respective parents, Arya was instead kept at the door of this Padepokan mysteriously. Until now, Arya has been the adopted son of their teacher.

While grumbling they finally walked without wearing his clothes. They walk hand in hand, shirtless to make the female monkeys glance at them with smiles like. They see a beautiful sight. Six young men walked shirtless and looked wet by the river water.
