Loving You in My Way
CHAPTER 9

"When did this rain stop?" Shata.

"Patience, it looks like it will soon subside. Why are you in such a hurry?" Ask Alysa.

"Because he's going to meet his father at the temple" Sahut Tara.

"Gee... That right? Hopefully this time he will see you" said Alysa.

Shatapun just smiled. He did not want to tell anyone that he had met his father and had now become the personal bodyguard of his best friend, Prince Tara.

"Amine.." Tara said with a smile.

"So you keep answering, when I'm asking Shata" Alysa said.

"Rather than in cuekin better someone answer?" Answer Tara.

"It's up to you" replied Alysa.

"Where was your mom?" Ask Shata.

"Ep.. Mom might go to the room looking after dad" Alysa replied.

"Oh.. Can we go see your father?" Answer Shata.

"Yes, daritadi has not met at all. We also want to know how he is" Sahut Tara.

"It's not okay, but wouldn't it be better if the father really rested completely without disturbing anyone so that he also quickly recovered" replied Alysa.

"Ep.. All right then" replied Shata.

"Eh.. The rain has begun to subside, we say yes first.." Connect Shata.

"I'll call mom soon" said Alysa.

Alysapun called his mother. Shata and Tara are preparing to continue their journey.

On the other hand, Shata's father was very worried because Shata and Tara never returned, coupled with the lightning rain that was happening.

"Kok y'all wanna go?" Saying Alysa's Mother.

"Yes ma'am, because we're going to the temple, to see my father" Shata replied.

"Oh. like that, yes you have brought yes, hopefully this time your father will meet you, if he wants to see you, please give my greetings to him" said Alysa Mother.

"Good, Mom.. Thank you very much" Shata replied.

"Then we say goodbye. Thank you ma'am" Tara said.

"Yes, be careful" replied Alysa's mother.

"Alysa, I'll go first" Tara said.

"Yes, don't eat it yourself" Alysa said.

"Hehehe.. You can" replied Tara.

"We're leaving.."Shata.

They leave Alysa's house to continue their journey to the temple.

"What's up? Tara, how did you go home? I'm curious" Inner Alysa. Alysa thought about Shata saying that Tara went to her house to look for her.

"Did he like me?" Alysa.

"He who?" Alysa's mother heard her daughter speak for herself.

"Eh.. No ma'am, Tara came to our house, Shata said she was looking for me" Alysa replied.

"Maybe just want to say goodbye or leave the house keys. You don't have to think anything. Remember, your father has betrothed you!" Answer Alysa's Mother.

Alysapun just fell silent and left mother to her room, she actually really did not want to be betrothed to anyone. She wants to be the wife of someone she loves. Although there is a saying that says "Love can exist because it is used", he does not really believe that love because it is accustomed to it can lead him to happiness. He was very sure, happiness will only come because both parties love each other sincerely from the heart not because they are used to being together.

.......

"It turns out Alysa was the son of a rich man" Tara said.

"But certainly will not exceed your wealth" Shata replied.

"You are just there! It's not that, I guess he's a kid of ordinary people. Apparently, he has a house as luxurious and grand as that.. Even he said there were a few more houses" replied Tara.

"Yes, I was actually a bit surprised. I knew their family from childhood. As I recall, they were not from a rich family, even my father used to help sell their merchandise" Shata replied.

"I also remember that they were bankrupt. There was nothing to eat, so my father always helped them. I think that's why they help us so much" Shata continued.

"Ep.. I see, but I have.. His name is sustenance of different people, thank God that now they are all-round and not lacking" replied Tara.

"I want the father to be one" Tara said.

"Haa... Not even a quarter of the journey hungry? It seems you have also eaten a lot" replied Shata while giving a father to Tara.

"Hehehe.. It's not good if you don't snack" replied Tara while devouring little by little the fathero given by Shata.

Shatapun just shook his head.

At the temple, the father was praying to the God while waiting for Shata and Tara to come. Suddenly from behind, he was startled by someone who suddenly appeared carrying an arrow and immediately left. The man did not speak a word. Shat's father was confused by the astonishment, he called Zheyata to ask for help to get the bow. Carefully Zhyatapun took the bow.

Not long after....

"Aarrghhhh.....!!!" Shouted Zhyata. Shatapun's father was surprised, not only that. The entire god devotee in the temple immediately ran over to Zheyata.

"What's wrong? What's up?" Ask Shata's Dad.

"God..!! This why? Quickly call the physician" replied one of the god-servants. Finally, the other god devotees split the task, some took the healer and some helped Zheyata into his room.

"This Aarrrggghhhh is very sick, help me God" Zheyata said.

After touching the bow, Zheyata's hand suddenly blistered without cause. In fact, the arrow was not in hot conditions. Shatapun's father gave first aid by inserting Zheyata's palm into cool water in hopes that it could slightly relieve Zheyata's pain.

"Zhey, I'm sorry. I don't know if it's going to happen like this" Shata's father said as he helped Zheyata dip her palm into the cool water.

"It's okay Dad, I know this is not because of your actions but for now there are people who want to harm you. I hope you are always vigilant and careful" Zheyata replied.

The healer came and immediately checked the condition of Zheyata.

"The poison of the black rose" The Physician said.

"Huh? Black rose poison?" Ask one of the god-servants who met the physician.

"Yes, this is the result of the poison of the black rose. I'll give you treatment at least this can inhibit the effects of toxins spreading throughout the body" replied the healer.

Shata's father and the god's servant left Zheyata with the physician.

"What's really going on?" Ask the god.

"So when I prayed, suddenly someone came to see me and gave me a bow. The bow was placed in front of me, because I was carrying the incense of worship, I asked Zheyata for help, not long after that Zhyata screamed and I saw her hands become very red and blistered like that" Shata's father explained.

"Oh.. Like that, it means that for now there are people who want to harm you. But for what? And where did he get that black rose poison?" God's worshiper.

Then the doctor came out.

"How can there be black rose poison at this time? I know that flower has been destroyed all over the country" said Tabib.

"Are you sure it's black rose poison?" Ask Shata's Dad.

"Yes I am very sure, in the past when our kingdom was attacked by the kingdom of Baradha, Baradha, their kingdom used the poison of black roses to defeat our royal army and I used to be one of the healers who helped heal the wounded. Their symptoms are exactly the same as those of Zheyata" explains the healer.

"So, is this a shipment from the kingdom of Baradha? But why would you want to harm Shata's father?" God's worshiper.

"As far as the Kingdom of Baradha is gone now, they have been destroyed by another, more powerful kingdom, and now their entire kingdom has sunk into the sea" replied the Physician.

"If they don't exist, who does?" Answer Shata's father.

"Yes yes, I am also curious" said the god-serving.

"Either.. I don't know either.. Soon I will return to care for Zheyata" said the physician.

"Yes please" answered Shata's father and the god-servant.

In the midst of confusion. The father saw Shata and Tara who had come. She was so relieved that her two children had arrived safely. He thought something would happen to his son.

.........

"Dad...." Shata Shouts.

"Why does your father and the servant of the god Zian, seem so tense?" Tara. Yes, the devotee of the god who called the physician was named Zian.

"You familiar?" Ask Shata.

"I know all the god-servants here. He is a very strict devotee of the gods" Tara said.

"Ohhhh... That's so.." Answer Shata.

Arriving near the father and devotee of the god Zian.

"What is this. Why do you guys look so tense? Did something happen at the temple?" Ask Tara.

Shata's father and Zianpun's Servant of God only saw each other. They are confused and worried. Should they be told or left alone so they don't know.
