If Love Could Choose
Not Up

Hi assalamualaikum brothers all...

Thank you for reading the author's piece...

While waiting for Yunia who is resting, as the author has said in the last episode, the author wants to improve the story that has been written before the story If Love can choose this... The story of PRINCESS TORCH PITU.

The problem is, because it has been too long off. Therefore, when the intention to revise appears, there will be a lot of improvements and changes in the story. And it turns.... Revising it is much more complicated than making new.

So, after trying a few times and not succeeding (even more complicated.) So the author decided to just write from the beginning again.

He wanted to make it with the same title but it turned out he could not. So the author gave the title "OBOR PITU" Therefore, if later anyone read these two stories find similarities. It's just that our new novel has gotten a bit of a change here and there...

Hopefully the brothers and sisters of the readers are all willing to take their time, reading the story will start up today huh.....

Thank ye...

Note :

The story begins decades or maybe hundreds of years ago. At a time when humans still do not have religion as a basis for life. They still believe in things that today are called myths and superstitions.

...* * *...

In ancient times.... (like the introduction to children's stories yes..?) 😅 In a village in Pajajaran area... There is a kind husband and wife (really a fairy tale before going to bed.) 🤗

Their families include well-respected and well-off families... Has a large rice field, as well as skilled and loyal workers. Unfortunately, despite being married for a long time, the couple has not been blessed with children.

The husband who really wants offspring, often do tirakat. Seek to appeal to the creator so that they are immediately blessed with children. The wife also, secretly she often went to places of worship, following the advice of friends and relatives who are believed to be able to "perpetuate" her hopes to obtain offspring.

Until one night, the wife had a dream ...

In his dream, he seemed to be told that he could have offspring, if he had drunk the lake water that was on the edge of the forest, some distance outside their village.

When she woke up, the wife told her husband about the dream. The husband listened to his wife's story with a frown.

"How, kang? Should what I dream about be tried?" Ask the wife.

For a moment the husband thought...

"Hyai, actually some time ago, there was someone coming to see me when I tirakat. That person seemed to be warning that this similar incident would happen...." Said the husband bluntly.

"What happened, kang?" Ask the wife not to understand.

"This incident.... The incident when Nyai came to me and told me about Nyai's dream..." The husband replied while looking at his wife's face with a confused look. The wife closed her mouth in shock.

"How can you?" Ask the wife in wonder.

"I don't know myself..." Answer the husband. For a while both of them were busy with their own thoughts. How can a dream be predicted before?

"Then....what are we going to do?" The wife asked finally after a while the two fell silent.

Several days passed, even weeks passed. In his tirakat, the husband has not yet received a clue. The wife began to get nervous. There was a desire to carry out the message in his dream. But she was afraid that her husband would disagree with her opinion.

Often while doing his daily activities, the wife thinks half fantasized, what if he secretly went to the lake and took the water to drink. Is that all we have to do? In his dream, he was not told to do anything more. But, the lake in question was on the edge of the forest. Only a few people dared to go there. According to the story, people who have come to the place often look dazed. I don't know what makes them like that.

"But if you don't try, how do you know if it's going to work or not?" Thought the wife.

The woman repeatedly thought. Tried.. not tried... While the desire to immediately have a baby feels stronger.

Finally, when the husband went away, asking for help from his two aides, a woman and a man, the wife quietly went to the lake.

"His... won't it be okay for us to go there?" The male maid asked somewhat timidly.

"Hopefully..." The mistress replied trying to convince the maid as well as herself.

"You'll be on guard enough.Let me take the well water myself." Break up the mistress.

"But Nyai..." The maid fretted.

"We just be careful. If something feels strange later, we immediately return again..." The word of the madam was finally irrefutable.

After walking for a long time, the path they passed ended in a river. The river is the boundary of the area frequented by the people who seek wood. Across the river, it is an area of "in the middle of nowhere" because it is an area bordering the forest. People rarely go there.

"How will Nyai... will we cross this river?" Ask the male assistant.

For a moment the madam thought. The lake was created definitely because there is a spring. There is a lake, there is usually a river that channels the water. ..

"We just follow the direction of the river upstream..." Answer the madam. The two maids looked at each other inexplicably. But they dare not argue. They then walked through the thickets, followed the direction of the river, and finally... Their path was blocked by grass and rocks. If they want to continue, they must plunge into the river and walk wet in the river.

The maid took a piece of wood not far from their place.

"Let's go nyai.. hold this wood..." Said. Then, after the madam held the wooden tip, she stepped forward while tightly holding the other end of the wood. The mistress walked through the stream resting on wood held by her male helper. While the female maid, guarding behind her.

The river water was only limited to the knees of adults, the current was not too heavy. The longer they walked, the lighter their steps became. The clarity and coolness of the water made fatigue after walking so far gone. The fear and anxiety that originally enveloped their journey was instantly forgotten. Until finally... They heard the wind blowing on the leaves that looked more and more lush in front of them and at the end of the river... they saw a well that was so shady because it was surrounded by trees that were slightly tight on his left right. At first glance, the lake is like a giant cave with a shiny floor because of the bias of sunlight above the water surface.

The three let out a long breath.

"Him..." Said the maid. The called one does not answer. His eyes focused towards the lake.

"Is that the lake in my dream? Why can it be exactly the same? Have I ever been here?" Ask in the heart.

As if he had known the place, the woman stepped out of the river and approached the lake.

"Him..." Call both aides worried. They immediately followed their employer's steps. Trying to keep him from going too far into the forest. But the master did not heed.

"Hey.. Let's get that lake water and go home soon..." Said the maid. His hand reached the end of his master's shirt, afraid that his master was going too far to leave him. While his eyes were moving around. The sound of the wind was like the sound of thousands of people whispering. Make the fur of the romans stand goosebumps.....
