Api di Bukit Menoreh Book 01 – Chapter 17
Untara was still fighting fiercely. Even his opponents were becoming more and more aware of his strength. But suddenly Untara became anxious. Pande besi occasionally threw a glance at Agung Sedayu. He saw how the young man was standing. He saw Sedayu"s hand hanging weakly by his side. Even occasionally that man was covering his face. Once in a while he turned his face. The cunning Pande besi thought in his heart “that man has an odd behaviour”.
Indeed Agung Sedayu did not show any interest in that fight, even the horror and fear was shown on his face. But even so Pande besi was still forced to suspect that ‘there were two possibilities".Pande thought ‘ either this boy is too trusting in his martial arts skill, so he felt disappointed to see the way his comrades fought. But there an another possibility, this boy is a coward".
In his hesitation, he remembered Untara words “These people are by no means worthy enough to fight you”.
suddenly Pande besi started laughing. His voice was really loud. He had a certainty, that the child was a small child. Because of that he soon found a way to break Untara attention. So he was speaking between his laughs “Hee Untara the mighty. How long have we been fighting? Why does your friend just watch as if seeing a c.o.c.kfight? ”
Untara heart began pounding faster. He saw his opponent"s suspicion. His brother att.i.tude was completely made him frustrated. Nevertheless, he still replied “Why must he bother to deal with you? I myself am capable enough to do that”.
