Quietly relying on my heart, I removed the cloth that was still clad in the wound on my shoulder and ventured myself to follow where they were heading. Like I thought they stopped at the Diajeng residence and saw Guindra following using a horse carriage as if they were going to stay there. With this I argue, security at the location of the Forest Looters is not too tight considering that Raksa and Guindra are not there. Returning to pull my horse away from the Diajeng residence, I immediately rode it and immediately ran as fast as possible.
The journey a little further, made me feel a little exhausted considering the wound on my shoulder that was still recovering.. The northern forest border was finally passed where the river water downstream stopped and Mangrove Trees began to look from a direction a little further away from me. According to the words of the women, I turn towards the direction of approaching the southern sea coast which is also not far from the dock where the northern forest is still growing densely and seen 2 their entrance gate in the form of 2 large Banyan Trees with 2 fruit statues and small temples are used for traditional ceremonies.
Waking through a village my eyes were fixed on the unkempt hut that looked so miserable here. How can they live with their child with this condition? It was only fitting that they would go and find shelter and be grateful that Pureswari knew them.. In the middle of the night towards the early morning, there were loud screams like a group of people after partying all night, what were the middle Forest Looters?
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
“ This fabric.. This is the fabric used to bandage the wound on Raka's shoulder!”
Said Pureswari who was surprised to find a yellow cloth at the fire site
“ For what kemuning come again here? Has not Tasara been kemuning give and be in the palace?
Disoriented Caka approached Atma by entering the fire area
“ Dia, tail someone. Look, there are some footprints here.”
Atma who bent her knees and showed it to Caka
“ You're right. Who is he following?”
“ Pureswari, last night did anything come to you?”
“ No Raden Mas, we just talk as usual.. Yet.. However, at dusk I intended to meet Raka and visit her room and see something under her bed. I asked, but Raka did not explain it to me.”
Said Pureswari who tried to remember and feel worried
“ Of course he won't tell you. Because he is currently in a dangerous place.”
Said Atma who was back on her feet with a serious face
“ Don't tell Kemuning, single-handedly go there?”
Caka who looked at Atma tried not to believe what he was doing kemuning
“. . . . . . . . . .”
Atma who was silent heard Caka's question still gave a face full of seriousness
“ What? Where is Raka now?... Raden Mas?.. Caka?.. Where did Raka go?”
The worried Pureswari looked at Atma and Caka asked for an explanation from them
“ Kemuning. Currently he is, being at the location of the Forest Looters.”
Caka who explained looked at Pureswari with a sad and deep look
“ What?”
By the early hours of the morning everything was exactly like what the women described about the circumstances in this place, where everyone was drunk and unconscious and fell asleep on the ground and the roof of the sky. The bonfire they made began to glow, I walked around the barn that was their storage and saw Father on a sturdy wooden rod bound with both hands that stretched even a whip wound on his back and both hands.. Tears were not consciously dripping unceasingly, by walking trying not to make a sound, I walked over to Ayahanda and brought a pot of water to quench the thirst that seemed so tormenting to her with lips so dry and pale.
“ Kemuning?... My son, is this you son?”
Patih Andaru tried to regain his consciousness after drinking the water brought yellow by whispering
“ Yes Ayahanda.. It's me, kemuning.. Drink, Father.seen....”.
Kemuning who was still crying tried to hold his voice and give his father a drink
“ I'm okay. Kemuning, you se..”
“ HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS? AWAKE UP! I SAID WAKE UP!”
There was the angry cry of Guindra from the entrance gate
“ You guys are like useless trash. Wake up all of you.”
Raksa said with a flat tone and face
“ Kemuning, go!”
Patih Anadaru who whispered to kemuning
“ No! I can still save Ayahanda this time!”
Kemuning who was still crying, had difficulty opening his father's hand
“ My child, go. You already know my location, come with reinforcements. You need to get out of here safely! Remember that kemuning. Now go!”
Said Patih Andaru who slightly snapped Kemuning
“ Me... I definitely.. Will definitely come back to save you! Wait for me Father.”
Kemunun lowered his head trying to hold back his emotions
“ I know it.. Go nak.”
The smiling Andaru Train saw the kemuning running back around the barn and into the forest again
Clenched hands, scratched hearts, and silenced mouths. Running towards the horse I hid a little further away from the location, I finally returned riding and ran as fast as I could towards the border of the city. The sunlight began to look and all looked so beautiful in the eyes.. But not for me who still hold back these tears by trying to behave like a female knight who rode this horse until I finally reached the border of the city back and immediately ran towards the palace returned to meet the Queen Gusti. But unfortunately, Gusti Agung Ratu was not in the palace with the King and Mahapatih Gajah to take care of the problem of rebellion that occurred.
He stood silently, not saying, and seemed confused.. I again walked past Bale Kesehatan but remembered my sentence given by Mahapatih Danudara which did not allow me to meet and see the condition of Atma until Atma recovered and returned to normal.. How'this? My hands were still shaking trying to hold the scream of a heart that desperately needed a shoulder that I needed just to lean back to release the fatigue and fatigue that never ended..
Walk back to the horse Brata and ride towards the center of the city crowd that has begun to look busy residents who do their activities as usual, it stopped at a restaurant and I went down to give my horse to the guard who would give him food and drink. It seemed that everyone was eating food, but why did I feel lifeless silence?
“ Here.”
Said a man who pulled a yellow hand
#SHREEKK #BRAAKKK
The sound of a door closing in a room
“ Atma? Why are you even here? You're.. It's okay, okay? Ba, how's your condition?”
Kemuning looked at Atma carefully ascertaining his condition
“ You, crying?”
Atma who touches the face gently kemuning
“ . . . . . . . . .”
Kemuning who was speechless heard Atma's question
“ How is your father's condition?”
Kemuning who was shocked immediately looked at Atma
“ Stop worrying me. Can't you wait for me and we go together?”
Atma immediately hugged tightly kemuning
“ I don't know when I can meet you, all I know is.... Atma, I remembered something I should tell you!”
Kemuning who arrived pulled his body from Atma's embrace and looked at him
“ We talk inside with Caka and Pureswari.”
Atma immediately pulled a yellowing hand, opened the door, and walked in
“ RAKA!”
Pureswari who immediately ran hugged kemuning
“ You okay?”
Ask Caka to Kemuning
“ You two calm down, I'm fine.”
Kemuning smiled at Caka and Puresari and sat down in 1 table with them
“ What's Happening? What do you want to tell me?”
Atma to Kemuning
“ Prana. The name of the man listed in Tasara that we do not know is the name of Brother Diajeng. She used her brother's name so that no one would feel suspicious of her because Prana was long dead right?”
“ You sure?”
Serious Atma remarks to kemunun
“ I heard it myself while following them silently silently to the location of the fire yesterday. Yes, I heard clearly what they said. When I was at the Location of the Forest Path I also had time to see Diajeng down with Raksa from his horse carriage.”
“ They must be planning something right now. We must act quickly!”
Said Caka to Atma with a serious look
“ Ra.. Rabbet.. I'm sorry to ask, how is Ayahanda's condition?”
The worried Pureswari asked for kemunun to tell him
“ My father's body has begun to weaken, even looking a little thinner.. Even his skin was flushed due to the radiance of the sun.”
Saying something while bowing his head
“ I want you to tell me how the location or floor plan of the place was kemuning.”
With a table, I explained about their hiding location and part of the place. All the information I could see and hear, I told all of it to those who still listened to me very seriously. However, due to their location closer to the Pier, I felt that there was a hiding of combat tools they were hiding that could harm us if we did not know how they would retaliate against our attack, he said, remembering a Grenade destroyed half of my Bale's house and killed my confidants.
Atma was silent as if thinking. I know Atma is famous as the leader of strategy in every battlefield, so it is no wonder that Atma has a higher position than other knights. His skill in martial arts and the use of swords, no longer in doubt, is like having a bond on his horse so that every Atma acts with his horse, as if his movements are invisible.
Finally with all our ideas and thoughts, we finally decided to leave without bringing reinforcements or special forces such as the troops given by the Great Gusti King and Queen to me and also Atma. Riding the horse back I did with Atma and Caka, with Pureswari as the mediator piece if something happened to us.. The night wind came back on me, but this time I did not feel afraid at all or even doubt because the Atma was gallantly always beside me and also supported me.
“ I will climb this tree to see the current condition.”
Say Atma ready to climb on one of the big banyan tree trunks
“ No Atma. You're still a little hurt, I'm sure you'll have a little trouble.. What if the three of us went upstairs?”
A yellowing speech that stops the Atma and tries to give input
“ Alright, I agree.”
Said Atma who immediately helped support kemuning to climb with Caka on the tail behind him
The silence of the night broke with the laughter of the Forest Looters who were busy doing dinner parties.. Even now it looks Guindra, Diajeng, even Raksa was present sitting in the middle of a luxurious dinner. It seems like they are celebrating something or are planning something back. Eyes were diverted to the Father who was still lying down further weakened with both hands tied..
“ Kemuning, are you ready? Does your pudak still hurt?”
Said Atma who was staring into kemuning
“ I'm okay.. As planned I will shoot the rope from up here and try to keep you from a distance.”.
Kemuning who nodded his head by holding the arrow bow in his hand
“ The granary we are about to burn is next to the Hall and near the tree. Caka, you move first.”
“ Alright!”
The wretch that was nodding his head immediately jumped down the tree
“ Atma, wait.. Be careful.”.
Kemuning who kissed Atma's cheek and looked at her very deeply
“ Protect me, Okay?”
Said Atma who smiled and immediately jumped down the tree following Caka
With the arrow bow in my hand, I finally prepared to release some arrows and hoped that my shot would be right on the rope that tied my father at this time.. With the burning of a wood, Atma and Caka scattered with the fire and began to burn the roof of the barn made of burning straw.. It only took a short time, the fire began to flare and I immediately shot the rope that tied the father.
Atma immediately ran and managed to bring the father into the forest before they all realized the current blaze. But without realizing it, there are 2 Forest Looters who are still awake and intend to kill Atma, Caka, and Ayahanda from behind. I quickly returned to release my two arrows and finally we were able to save Father and immediately return to the border of the capital..
“ BRASH! WHO WOULD DARE TO DO THIS TO US?!”
Said Guindra who felt angry after successfully extinguishing the fire
“ Who else?.. Don't you know this arrow?”
Said Raksa pulling an arrow from one of the lifeless guards
“ KEMUNING..!! I'LL KILL YOU!!”
Said Diajeng who ignited anger by shouting
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
In the early hours of the morning, Mother stood with her pale face and waited for our arrival.. As soon as Mother saw Father, Mother ran and immediately embraced Father and cried incessantly. At least at this time, I can still find that a person's life can still be valuable and valuable no matter what price you have to pay.
