Alpha: The Elemental Guide
Chapter 9: Farewell
"Ahhhh, have you woken up?"
"Aghhh, uncle?"
"Thank God, the cave doesn't think you're gonna wake up."
"I lost yes.sorry yes uncle has hired uncle." Dea started to shed tears.
"Hahahaha, you actually won. Technically you lose, but you win because you're thinking makes everyone there dumbfounded."
"Until you see my match?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Ahhh, shame...."
"Yes, even though your performance was very substandard."
"Hahahah, sorry uncle."
"Hmmmm.Then the next exercise will be harder than yesterday!"
"Ready uncle!"
"By the way, you got kicked out of that training."
"HHHHHHHH?!!"
At that time, Raiden's uncle told him that he was someone who was not born from the village of Watah. Although the village of Watah strongly disliked a migrant, for some reason, Raiden was allowed to stay in the village of watah for a while on condition, not to intervene with the training. The village of watah is very opposed to change because, the science of water control must remain pure for eternity. However, since Raiden broke that rule, Raiden and the person involved (Dea) were not allowed to live in the village of Watah. Dea and Raiden now have to go to leave the village of Watah, if it is still seen around the village, then both will be sentenced to death. Currently, Dea and Raiden are in a place outside the village and are still relatively safe. By then it was already night time, Raiden and Dea were only accompanied by a small campfire to maintain their body temperature.
Suddenly, someone from behind hugged Dea tightly. Yes, the person in question is Resa, a close friend of Dea. It was very clear that Resa was crying. Resa felt very worried about Dea, as he also watched the match.
"Urghhhhhh, Fool, Fool, Fool." (Resa)
"Auch, Amuch. My body is still sick. And why do you call me stupid?"(Dea)
"Don't you know how much I'm worried about you? I know that this week of training with the old man, but forcing yourself like that is too much!" (Resa)
"Old man!?"(Raiden)
"You're an irresponsible old man! what was the fate of Dea in the future after he was expelled from this village!?" (Resa)
"Ergh.."(Raiden)
"Ahhhh..dengar Resa, I know that I can not stay in this village again, but believe me that I will be fine." (Dea)
"all right? Hey don't you remember your mom? don't you feel guilty for leaving him alone?" (Resa)
"Ahhhhh....I'M REALLY ABOUT MOM!!" (Dea)
"Did I tell you, too, are you going to leave him alone?" (Resa)
"That's...I'll finish this day too, will you accompany me to talk to my mother?" (Dea)
"Hmmm! all right, but don't think I'll be on your side!"(Resa)
"Uncle, can you?" (Dea)
"Hmmm, do it immediately. Don't waste time. Information about us will spread quickly. Be careful." (Raiden)
"Okay uncle, come on Resa.." (Dea)
Dea and Resa soon go to the house of Dea and her mother, Nata. With mixed feelings, Dea opened the door of the house, and saw Nata who was already sitting on the sofa they usually used to chat. Nata looked towards Dea and Resa, seeing that Nata's expression was already describing a major depression. Dea who saw that expression, her body trembled and made her not move. These two Dea saw that expression.
"Deaaaaaa, sit down."
Hearing those words, Dea could only obey her mother's words. Dea sat right next to her mother.
"Mom heard the info about you, please tell me that it's not true, Dea."
"A....A....Anu..."
"SAY THAT IT'S NOT TRUE DEA!!" Nata started raising his voice. A sign that his emotions are no longer held back.
"Aghh... So that's right, huh?" Nata spoke to himself.
"Resa, can't you just come out for a second, son?"
"Good aunt." (Resa)
*After Resa left the house it*
"It's because you're close to that person, right? A man named Raden."
"...."
"so right, huh? hahaha."
Even with such a tense atmosphere, Nata laughed out loud. Of course it's a strange thing. Maybe Nata's mental health is compromised.
"I..Mommy?"
"MOTHER TOLD ME YOU SHOULDN'T GET CLOSE TO THAT PERSON! I TOLD YOU NOT TO DEAL WITH THAT PERSON NO MATTER WHAT!"
"Mafin Dea ma'am. Maafin Dea ma'am. Dea knew that Dea was a bad boy who did not obey his mother. Sorry Dea ma'am..." Here Dea has shed her tears.
"Mom said many times...I've said it many times...." Nata was already unable to bear to let out her tears and while mouth with her hands.
Nata...
"Are you going to take something valuable from me, Raiden?"Nata muttered to himself.
"Sorry Dea ma'am, if all this time Dea just be a burden to mother. Maafin Dea, if all this time Dea can only be a weak and troublesome child. Maafin Dea, if Dea becomes a child that you cannot be proud of. But at this time, Dea needs to leave the village because of Dea's own actions. It's not mom's fault, it's Dea's own fault. Therefore, Dea needs to atone for this sin alone ma'am."
"Is it because Dea is not satisfied with the mother who made Dea go away from the mother?"
"Of course not, I've done everything Dea wanted. Only Deanya was unaware of that. Dea knows that Dea is a bad boy."
"Then, stay with your mother if you want a good child."
"Dea really wanted to be with mom, but..."
"Please Dea, please stay with mom in this house. I don't care about this village anymore, as long as you're with Dea...."
"Dea was glad to hear that, but Dea needed to leave this village. Dea didn't want to put Dea's mother and her precious people in danger."
Hearing those words, Nata could only fall silent while crying. Convincing his only child to go from him is the hardest thing and Nata must accept. Nata did not expect this to happen.
Dea clenched his mother's hand and said....
"Thank you for everything you've given me so far. The whole moment with mom was a priceless precious memory for Dea. All those memories, Dea will keep them well. Trust me, Mom, Dea's gonna be okay out there. It may sound absurd, but Dea promises that Dea will return to this village as the strongest warrior in the world."
"Ahahaha, Dea is already the strongest warrior for mother." Nata said that while hugging Dea tightly. Which indicates that Nata has mengikhlaskan departure of his son. Nata was relieved, because the child he had taken care of from birth, had now become an extraordinary child. It did not feel like the little boy was growing up.
"Don't forget Dea's promise, if one day, Dea has to return to this village. I'll be waiting for Dea here all the time. And please keep in mind, if you're always by Dea's side, no matter what the circumstances are."
"Thank you, Mom, thank you. Dea promised to return to this house again."
*Then Dea will say goodbye to Nata's mother.*
" See Dea, be careful on the road." Nata showed her warm smile.
" Prepared, ma'am!." Dea replied with a smile.

After Dea separated from her mother, after leaving her house, she saw that her best friend was waiting for her. Dea finds out, after her mother, she must now convince Resa to take her off.
"Can we talk for a minute?"
