Loving You in My Way
CHAPTER 1

Day after day, the Father has now decided to become a devotee of the god in a temple. Leaving behind all the worldly frenzy and focusing on serving the god. This was used as a manifestation of guilt for the death of his late wife.

The little man has now grown into a 23-year-old man who is handsome, cheerful, and good at archery. In fact, now he gets the nickname "The Arrow Eye" because of his archery skills. Every time there's an archery race he'll definitely get the first champion. His arrow shot never misses one. So, he always follows the archery race anywhere. In addition to making it able to survive from getting the race prize, this is also what makes it more famous throughout the country.

In the living room of the house, Shata was sitting leisurely all of a sudden...

"Bro.." Sapa a man named Tara while patting Shata on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? You want me an arrow?" Answer Shata.

"Haha.. Just arrow me, I'll haunt you all your life" Gurau Shata

"Was.. Mostly you are also a pocong later.. If you become a pocong, I strengthen the rope ties in your body, then I tie you in a tree and I make it as a target when I practice archery. Hahahaha" Sahut Shata laughed out loud.

"Yes yeah, uh bro I have great news! You want to know?" Answer Tara.

"What?" Shata answered by raising both eyebrows.

"Next month there's an archery race in the area near your father's temple, the prize is 100 million!!" Tara said excitedly.

"Huh? 100 million? Seriously you, Tara?" Ask Shata.

"Yes, 100 million, hear the hell who held it from the kingdom. They will also recruit the victor to be part of the royal security special forces" Tara explained.

"Oh, will definitely be in the royal recruit huh? Then I won't come" Shata replied.

"What's? Wh why? Isn't that very interesting. I'm sure you can definitely win that race, and if you've entered the royal security special forces section, you no longer need to worry about your needs. Money, food, good clothes, everything is definitely fulfilled and for sure the community will flatter you even more" replied Tara.

"But I'm not interested, I don't want to be tied to anyone, I want to live freely like this, to be the arrowhead who can enjoy life without any burden" Shata said.

"Oh, like that.. Ttt-apiii-title.. I've registered you, hehehe.." Answer Tara.

"Always, well I'll come but don't expect to get 100 million, because I won't win that race. I came only so that people who had never met me could be amazed to see me, let alone the girls there" Shata replied with a slight annoyance.

"Well. 100 million Shata... That's a lot of money. Are you sure you're gonna let it go? We can eat well, buy new clothes, and buy the things we want. We don't even have to go to the girls, they're the ones coming for us. You too will be a part of the kingdom" replied Tara with a face of compassion.

"Let's not be part of the royal security special forces. Then I'll go first" Shata replied with a slight look away from her best friend Tara because she felt very upset over her best friend's actions.

"Well.. Where you going? I'm coming" replied Tara.

"I want to go to the bathroom, my stomach has been heartburn since" replied Shata.

"Oh, then I'm not going with hehehe.. Sorry to ya" replied Tara.

Shatapun just looked at Tara.

In fact, Shata did not want to go to the bathroom. He went to his backyard to sit alone in a little shack where he played with his father. He misses his father. It's been 13 years he never met his father because every time he met for sure the father would refuse. "What and Why" are 2 words that are always implied in his heart. The father who always accompanied him from baby to grow up to be a tough man, the father who always patiently and affectionately trained him archery, now changed no longer want to know him. The sadness and sadness he always felt. However, this was all already his fate line. In the past he only lost the figure of the mother and for now, since 13 years ago he lost the figure of both parents.

As he sat pensively by himself, suddenly the rain came over. This made him more and more soluble in sadness. She was finally unable to hold back her tears. Now, that tough guy was crying all over again. He felt very upset, disappointed, and confused. He assumes that God does not love him and begins to lose faith in his God. He swore that he would no longer go to the temple nor pray for the mercy of the God.

With his frustration now mounting, he grabbed the bow beside him and began to shoot whatever animals were in front of him. He was so ferocious, even the white rabbit that was so sweet he was an arrow. However, he was very surprised because the white rabbit that was hit by an arrow in the middle of his body remained alive, as if nothing had ever happened. Then, he immediately caught the rabbit and plucked the arrow. Fresh blood flowed from the body of the white rabbit and Shata immediately wrapped it with a cloth on his wrist.

Shatapun was astonished and confused by the incident he had just experienced. He also realized that the incident he had just experienced was the will of God. God still loves his creatures by allowing him to survive and get help from others while being hurt. That's how God loves his creatures.

"Maybe God did send you on purpose so that I wouldn't get so hurt when my father left me" Shata said inwardly as he looked at his best friend.

He began to return grateful for the will of the Gods and promised to be more diligent to go to the temple. Worship the name of the God with greatness and become His servant who will never leave Him.

*tock.. Geck.. Geck..*

Suddenly there was a knock from behind the door that made Shata surprised. He immediately opened the door.

"Hi Alysa what's wrong?" Sapa Shata's. It turned out that the one who knocked on the door was Alysa. A beautiful girl neighbor boy.

"This is a chicken opor from my mother, Oh yes the bowl I immediately bring home yes all the same bowl that you have not returned yesterday" replied Alysa in a flat tone.

"Hehehe.. Yes thank you.. I'm sorry I forgot I didn't return the bowl yesterday. Come on, come in first" replied Shata.

"Yes, thank you I just wait here" Alysa replied tightly. Yes, in addition to the famous beautiful Alysa is famous for ketus and judes but actually she has a good and soft heart. He was so grumpy and judes that no man would tease him.

"Well then, wait a minute" replied Shata.

After a few minutes, Shata returned to meet Alysa in front. But the beautiful girl was not at the door of her house.

"Lohs.. Where was Alysa, he said he wanted to wait here" said Shata.

"Woi..!! Shata..!!" Shouted Alysa.

Shatapun spontaneously turned to the source of the sound and approached the source of the sound. Apparently, Alysa was engrossed in playing the swing she made next to her house.

"Since when was there a swing here? As long as I'm here it doesn't seem to be there" asked Alysa.

"Yes, I made it still about 2 days ago for her son Yoga Sri. I feel sorry to see Sri's mom have to run around and around chasing yoga that is hard to eat. If there is a good ginikan swing, Sri ma'am does not need to bother running again" replied Shata.

"Oh.. That's so.. It turns out that you are quite good as well yes, here the bowl" replied Alysa while taking the bowl in Shata's hand.

"Yes, thank you" Shata replied, giving her the bowl.

Alysapun left Shata, as well as Shata who returned to his house.

Every time on the way home from Shata's house, Alysa always smiles to herself. He was so happy to meet Shata. She has loved Shata since childhood. They often play together because the house is not too far away and both parents are also friends of Shata's parents.

"Gee... Eat well.. Chicken opor" muttered Tara who was awake and ready to eat chicken opor on the living room table.

*Cekreek.* door open sound.

"That's a damn thing.. Wake up and eat right away.. Take a shower first, you old man is still a slob" Shata Shouted.

"Hehehe.. Caught.. Yes, I took a shower first.. Don't get rid of it!" Answer Tara.

"Yes take a quick shower, we eat together" Shata replied with a smile looking at his best friend's funny behavior.

After Tara returns, they enjoy the chicken opor made by Alysa's mother together, while chatting a lot of things including Tara who always says that she likes Alysa but does not dare to express it because she is sure that Alysa will not want to accept it and Shata's response who only laughs to hear it.
