Happiness was clearly on his face. While running for joy, he headed for a food stall that he had previously promised if he won the physical show. Promised that he would buy food there if he won.
"YESHAANNN!!!" his screams shrieked right on the edge of the face of the grilled duck seller middle-aged man whom uncle had called from the beginning, upon his arrival in front of the man as he was burning his selling duck.
"Jeez, my heart!" his complaints were shocked to the reflex stroking his chest that he could feel his heart racing due to being shocked.
Reychu just chuckled without a sense of sin to see it.
"Bas on you! I'm old, son! How about I die after you surprise me, huh?" the middle-aged man's nag.
"Hishihi. That's not gonna happen. The proof is uncle's fine now. What should I be afraid of?!" reychu replied leisurely as his eyes looked at the pieces of ducks that were being burned with hungry sparkles, several times he gulped his own saliva.
"I said 'if', young man!" the uncle was upset as well.
"Reychu, that's my name." he chirped and then looked back at the uncle. "That's right, 'if'. But, unfortunately the word 'if' did not happen. So what's to be in trouble." Reychu again sniffed the grilled duck and whined. "Uncle, I'm hungry."
Not knowing what to say anymore, finally the uncle can only resign and choose to directly serve the young girl in front of him who has met since the beginning is strange and always wears a veil.
At first, he thought the girl was graceful and dignified because the veil he was wearing gave him such an impression. But, it's actually wrong. This one veiled girl just wanted to cover her face, sort of wanted to protect herself from something. But that's not his business. The rest is completely different from the rest.
"Eh! You came here to eat, didn't you?" ask the uncle when he realizes something that needs to be ascertained.
"Dear.." Reychu nodded.
"Does that mean you won that physical show?"
With a haughty yet silly smile at the same time, he replied. "Of course...! Hohoh..."
"really?" he asked again unsure.
Feeling the answer was meaningless, Reychu chose to take a bag of gold taels that now amounted to 25 only. Recalling that he had previously used to take responsibility for the wound he had inflicted on Bou Qin, that big tall adult man.
"See this! What does uncle think this is?"
"I. that's.." his eyes were wide in disbelief at the large number of gold taels in the bag, just imagine that he did not dare. But, what can I do. Believing in disbelief, the reality of the money was in the hands of a girl who looked frail and weak.
Looking into Reychu's eyes. "Son, Reychu. How do you defeat your opponent? I heard the man was a big tall body." asked the curious uncle.
"Hehe... Curious, yaaa.." Reychu's tease made the uncle look embarrassed. "Haha... Tell me uncle's name first. Yes, I call you uncle." he lamented.
"Oh, yeah. I forget. My name is Gu Fen. You can call me uncle Gu or uncle Gu Fen. It's up to you."
"Alright, Uncle Gu Fen. Give me two servings of the roasted duck first. Only then will I tell you about what I ,Reychu did to win." he said, which even made Uncle Gu Fen chuckle to see him.
That girl named Reychu is really something...
"Alright... Sit down there first. Let me prepare your order." said Uncle Gu Fen, pointing to a bench close to where the duck was burned.
"Oh, sure. Don't you stay long, uncle. I'm so hungry" he said as he stepped closer to the designated bench and sat on it.
Reychu sat quietly while watching the surrounding which was still crowded even though the day had come late in the afternoon while waiting for his order among Gu Fen's uncles.
"The world this time is different. Although the effect is ancient and outdated, seeing from everything that is still beautiful. But... From what I got through the memories of this empress. I didn't know there was this time in the past... Is it possible that it is not written in history?!" her heart was deep and she thought about everything that happened to her.
Shrugging his shoulders later. "What do I care! Besides, this is where my world is. This body is also now mine. But, I hate the bond that exists until now." he muttered very slowly while tapping his chin, not wanting to bother about what had happened to him.
Shaking his head. "It's a waste of your life, Ahn Reychu! Absolutely useless! Now I understand why your destiny was given to me. It seems like the gods are tired of your attitude that is too meek to end up stupid and easily oppressed. Look atyou... To fight the ugly double-faced concubine you can't."
Mocking grin with meaningful eyes. "No matter how much love you used to have for that stupid emperor and no matter how stupid you were that you could not do anything when you had a higher position than that serpent lady. For now I am the master of your body and destiny... Hehehe.." chuckled creepily but seemed like a madman, if there were no veils attached. "Then let me take care of those two couples! A couple consisting of a handsome, easily fooled man and a beautiful woman who is cunning and slippery like a water eel. But, of course, wait for me. HAHAHA." he explained long and wide with an end to his crisp laughter that broke without asking.
As they whispered.
"CRAZY!"
Uncle Gu Fen was also no less surprised actually, to the point that the plate containing the baked duck order Reychu almost fell.
"Geez!" shaking his waist, he looked at the girl who was still busy muffling his laughter after he put 2 dishes of roasted duck on Reychu's table. "It's done. You know what?! What you did was almost to make me lose when up to two of my roasted ducks fell to the ground and could no longer be eaten. Huh!!" grumbled uncle Gu Fen. For the first time he did not feel disinclined to strangers, especially that was a young girl.
"Well.ha..ha...! Uncle, sorry. Pardon me! Huh.huh... I'm too preoccupied with my thoughts, so I forget that I'm not alone. Yes already! I can't stand this hunger anymore either. Come on, uncle we eat." pull the 2 plates closer then cover his two hands on the chest.
"Good meal!"
There is no shame, no doubt. Immediately he took the roasted duck meat with his hand and the other hand revealed a little veil so as not to become a barrier.
The first bribe entered as well and the next second the two eyes were wide with twinkle. Then, exclaim cheerfully.
"Oh my God!!! How delicious!!! Uncle! Your grilled duck is amazingly delicious!" his praise made uncle Gu Fen smile happily to hear it.
"Really, thank you."
"Really! I guessed it! My choice was not wrong. Since the beginning of the smell of duck burnt owned by uncle has been clearly smelled, until the other aroma lost. It's really delicious. What a pleasure like none. Grilled ducks are delicious!" praise him again and again and continue to continue eating.
When this is the case, the memory of his life used to pass suddenly without asking. Making Reychu who originally ate voraciously to slow down his tempo. Uncle Gu Fen saw that as he glanced at him from his place which was fanning his burnt.
He remembers the night at the night market. There are many food stalls as well as others. There is even an entertainment venue.
At that time he and his two friends really enjoyed their togetherness. Starting from playing shoot to get a doll, playing fishing to get similar items, playing in a haunted house, playing carousels, eating snacks scattered in the night market, etc, even to enter into a place that people call a place of divination.
He remembered what happened inside the place of divination. The fortune teller who looks like a middle-aged woman once predicted them about the incredible destiny they would get. But in the past, neither Reychu nor his two best friends believed so much. For them the destiny of human life cannot be predicted because there is a creator who is in control.
But it seems like a bit of the prophecy has become real.
For example, as he currently feels.
Therefore, something immediately hit his mind.
"Your destiny to be together will never be separated. But even so, you are still on a different path. Later, an extraordinary destiny will pick you up and maybe... You'll be in that destiny forever..."
That was the piece he could remember about the prophecy of the middle-aged woman.
His eating stopped suddenly. "If this is what the mothers mean. Meaning most likely, Ryura and Rayan are here as well." he cried inwardly speaking his mind. "But it will be difficult to find them, because we use other people's bodies" he continued.
Because he was too good with his mind. He had been unknowingly observed by Pama Gu Fen since then.
"Reich! You okay, son?!" uncle Gu Fen asked a little worriedly.
"Huh?! Ha.ha.ha... It's okay, uncle. I'm doing fine! I only remember my two best friends. We used to enjoy our time together so much that others would think we were brothers." Reychu honestly said. It was then that Gu Fen's uncle believed that the day before him wasn't really crazy, proof that he could still grieve like now.
"You guys got into a fight?" uncle Gu Fen asked just a small talk to comfort Reychu.
Gagged strangely. "God! A fight?! Ahaha! Truth be told, uncle." instantly his sadness vanished without a trace making uncle Gu Fen did not know what to comment on the right to explain the nature of the girl in front of him who had only been known for some time.
Waving his hands in front of his face. "Of course not. Fighting is a word that will not happen to the three of us. Right now we are separated by distance. I just don't know where they are now. It would be nice if we could eat here while joking." he explained.
"Oh, I thought you and your friend were in a bad relationship. You don't have to worry. You will meet, sooner or later." uncle Gu Fen cheered.
"Haha... What am I worried about, uncle. In fact, what I look forward to most when I meet them again is picking up stories of how much they suffered out there when we were far away like this. It would be nice if I could laugh at them. Especially the centil Rayan. Hahaha.." The reply left uncle Gu Fen even more speechless. He didn't even know what to do. Can only be silent while smiling awkwardly.
"Oh yeah. I almost forgot. It wasn't that uncle was curious about what happened at the physical show, was it?! Well I'll tell you now while eating. Uncle also seemed to be relaxed. Then let's hear my story... Hehehe.." After that Reychu also began to tell at length about what had happened in the arena of physical fighting before with his co-star Bou Qin who may now be in care. Nothing was left out of the story, uncle Gu Fen could only endure the horror of imagining that this seemingly mediocre girl before him was as cruel as the girl herself told.
