BATTLE CRY'S

Lontara 05: The Silver Hair

Andros finally headed home.

When he entered he saw his mother cleaning up the soup that had fallen on the floor.

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

"The girl revolted when I fed her and spilled her."

"Hey, you can't be like that. Youunderstand?" Andros.

The girl did not flinch, just staring at Andros.

"It's like he's not from here, he can talk but I don't understand the language he speaks."

"Have that business come later, he must be very hungry. Come here son" said the mother to the girl with the new soup.

When the mother approached Andros and the girl.

"Grrrrrrr.r." The girl's gaze became frightening and surprised the mother, almost to spill again.

"Hey, it's Ma Ka Nan. To eat it. The food was for eating" Andros pointed at the bowl and demonstrated the eating movement.

The girl nodded and approached the mother and barked.

"Graaaa, raaaggghh"

I was shocked and put the soup on the floor. And rewind.

The girl directly devoured the soup with her hands. He was so hungry that he ate.

"Looks like he's following you." Said mother.

"Em. I don't know, he said something but I don't understand."

"Well, it's time for me to go to the field before I continue training." Andros went straight out into the fields.

The girl realized Andros was missing. I ran out looking for Andros. I was shocked and caught up with him

The girl found Andros and approached. His mother followed with a stunt.

"Hey, you're here. I'm going to the fields." Andros hinted that the girl would not come. The girl nodded and Andros left.

Mom came but the girl barked again.

Until Andros finished from the field. The girl is still there.

Andros patted his eel, he meant that he was waiting at home instead of staying in place for 2 hours. He didn't even move a bit.

When he got to the house Andros sat on a wooden chair. The girl sat on the floor. Andros picked up the girl and sat her down on the chair as well. The girl was surprised, in Westminster the slave who sat on the seat like everyone else would be whipped 10 times.

His mother came and explained that this child could not be invited if not Andros. Andria even cried when she asked him.

Miraculously the girl nodded. Though Andros was not sure he demonstrated correctly or not.

Mother slowly stroked the boy's head, now he no longer barked like before. He's quiet now.

But when the mother pulled her hand to take a bath she immediately let go and barked again.

"Gerrr... Graah...rhrhr.." The girl looks scary.

Andros hinted with a hand to follow mother and obey.

The girl nodded then allowed herself to be carried by the mother, while her eyes still saw Andros behind.

I took the girl's hand and Andria's hand. They headed to the bath on the edge of the lake that was already made a small house barrier so that no one could peek.

Mother and Andria took off their clothes while the girl was still motionless.

"You're so dirty, so stinky" Andria said.

"Just calm down, I'll clean it up. She will look beautiful after this. It'll even be prettier than you, Andria." I started to take off the girl's clothes. Andria just turned her lips to hear that.

Her breathless mother saw many scars on the girl's body and her hard muscle muscles. Hand rough. It was not the body of a girl in general.

I began to wonder what kind of life this girl had been through.

The girl resigned herself, although the way her master explained it was very strange but she understood that the two people in front of her were not enemies.

Mom and Andria rubbed the girl's body using her father's body cleanser from natural ingredients. Which he called Shaboon. Helps maintain skin smoothness and rejuvenates the skin. That's why Mom still looks young and there are no wrinkles on her face at her current age.

Quickly the girl's body was clean then her tangled hair was cleaned from lice and combed.

"This boy's hair is as smooth and straight as silk." Andria.

"Your hair is also nice Andria, wavy brown like mother's."

"So...why is your body so many scars?. Did you fall?. I once fell and my knees were scratched and the marks are still there today" Andria said.

The girl did not reply, Andria continued to complain because the girl did not speak.

"He's from a far country, so his language is different dear." Obviously mother.

After taking a bath, she threw away the girl's old clothes and gave her a pretty nice one from the closet but she refused. He took back his old clothes and put them on.

And he sat on the floor by the fireplace and would not move. Just staring at the fire that was always wobbling.
