Curse Forever

Destination

🌺 hem... 🌺

* * *

Relying on moonlight as light,

a pair of men walk under the dark night sky .

The man's steps seemed so firm and certain. Unlike the steps of the women who follow him . The view is more down, at the tip of his foot so as not to step wrong. But sometimes he looks down on his head. Staring at the back of the man in front of him while sighing.

' Bruk' Mayang hit a body that suddenly stopped . Mayang frowned in wonder. Found Dimas slightly twisting his body and throwing a smile.

'' Are you tired ? ''

Mayang shook his head faintly. Lies. Though both of his calves seemed to be breaking up. His ankles are like they're going to come off their hinges.

But it's not just his legs that feel so sore. His tiny body was no less tired . It feels like I've been beaten up. Crumbed.

'' Sorry, Mayang. But we can't stop.

We must continue the journey and arrive at the destination before dawn comes Dimas approaching, then bend his legs in front of Mayang.

Mayang was surprised. Especially when feeling the touch of the hand that began to massage his legs. But because the massage feels comfortable, then he let it go.

'' Your leg muscles are stiff. You can cramp if you keep pushing yourself.

Since we can't stop and rest, then I'd better just carry Dimas said. Staring at Mayang with his head turned.

Mayang.

Don't know what to answer. If you can choose, he will certainly submit to Dimas to rest for a moment. But because Dimas said he couldn't, he put it away.

But he was confused. Continuing the journey with the offer to be carried, it felt he was too embarrassed to say yes. But it is impossible to resist and force yourself. The feet are no longer able to move.

Looking at the worried Mayang, Dimas stood up.

A little bent over to equate the view with Mayang.

'' Do you want me to carry it in front ? Or behind ? ''

'' Eng. tap-but Mas.. I am heavy. Surely later mas will be very tired if you have to walk while carrying me Mayang bowed, did not dare to stare.

Dimas laughed a little.

He turned around and squatted in front of Mayang.

A small smile was seen, along with dropping his buttocks on both open palms of Dimas and sticking his body on the back of the man who owned this sweet smile.

As a defense, Mayang also held Dimas' shoulder tightly.

And the journey is back to begin.

'' Am I not heavy, mas ? '' Mayang spoke with lips not far from Dimas' right ear.

The man sideways his face, making his cheeks almost not far from Mayang's lips.

Mayang nervous. His heart began to pound. He was even more restless, thinking Dimas could definitely feel it because his chest was stuck to Dimas's back. It felt like he wanted to jump up and down at this moment as well.

'' Your weight is the same as your luggage Dimas lifted a roll of cloth belonging to Mayang that hangs on his arm.

Be quiet for a while.

Mayang tried to neutralize his feelings. Especially the reaction of his body. But free. He was still nervous . Likewise with a heartbeat that is increasingly racing.

But Mayang kept trying. Maybe by talking can divert the sense that is in him . As soon as Mayang finally decided .

He breathed a long breath and exhaled slowly.

'' Mas, have I now bole asked the question ?''

'' em. Ask . You must have a lot of questions that you've been waiting for since ''

Mayang nodded. He then rested his head on Dimas's shoulders. It feels good and very comfortable.

'' Why do you know where I am ? What did I mean to say that they were all gone ?

What happened to my parents and Nyi Geno ?

And where are we going now ? Why do we have to go and rush like this ? ''

Dimas chuckled with a barrage of Mayang questions.

' Hup' he confirmed Mayang's sitting position by once stomping his palms. The lump of solid object lifted and fell back in its original place.

Mayang who was surprised could not protest because his body was a bit slumped.

'' It doesn't matter where I know where you are. What matters is that I found you at the right time.

Then about your parents and Nyi Geno...They're all dead ''

' Deg ' Mayang gasps.

" dead? " his mind was immediately overwhelmed with sadness.

Regardless of what he had known about his two adoptive parents who were planning to harm him, yet they were people who had been so meaningful in his life.

For a dozen years, Sudarman and Mbok Arni raised and loved him. Provide protection and affection like parents to their children.

They have never once been rude and scolded him excessively.

Although in the end, the couple died because they were involved in the intention to eliminate him from this world.

I don't know what's wrong or who instigated them to do that.

But for sure. Mayang already dear and not to heart to hate them.

And Nyi Geno. Although only known for a moment, but he had felt and found a sense of security from the old woman figure. He was also sad to think about the fate of Nyi Geno who has now gone to another world.

" Mayang "

" Yes, Mas "

" I'm sorry for their deaths. But this is not the time for you to be too late in grief.

And they're responsible for the deaths of your adoptive parents and Nyi Geno "

" ... "

Dimas' face turned grim. He had to lie about them. Because it is impossible for him to be frank if they are him and his mother, Saraswati. This includes Saraswati, who killed Mayang's adoptive parents and Nyi Geno.

He was sure, if Mayang found out if he was part of the search plan and also intended to kill him - Mayang would definitely run away and hate him.

No. gabe. Just imagine that he is no longer able to.

That can't happen. He will close it and hide it from Mayang.

Shut up again. Filling in endless travel time.

I don't know how long it's been, how far it's been, and how many trees they've been through.

However, Dimas steps are not at all staggering or look tired .

It keeps going well.

" Do you know if another soul lives in your body ? '' dimas asked, reopening the conversation.

'' Em '' Mayang nodded. For a moment he thought. How did Dimas know ? Was Dimas one of those who had known about him for a long time ?

But why are they looking for it until they have to kill each other ?

" So apparently "said Dimas who sounded more like mumbling. Implied worry in his tone just now.

He also guessed, how far did Mayang know about Nyi Sukma?

What is it about him and his mother has he known? But it doesn't seem to be. Because if Mayang had known it there was no way this girl would have come and believed him.

'' Then, where are we going ? ''

Dimas reached the folds of the array formed to resemble pants. He took out a piece of paper and pointed it out.

'' Nyi Geno gave this as he entrusted you to me.

He said it would take us somewhere. We just need to get to the harbor and find a short bald-headed man.

He was one of the Duke's servants who owned a merchant ship.

So, when we meet him later.We have to show him this paper . And he will take us out of Batavia ''

'' Get out of Batavia ? And after that ? What should we do ? ''

'' Married maybe ? '' Dimas flirting in light ruddiness.

Mayang who had been devastated by the death of his adoptive parents and Nyi Geno, immediately became a sumringah .Who does not flirt with a man who is liked.

He also recalled his last meeting with Dimas.

This man invited her away to start a new life together. Could it happen ?

'' I've let go and left everything that belongs to me Mayang.

Now I'm free. Now I can be with you . So, from now on I will accompany and take care of you until the destination "

Dimas's remarks made Mayang blissful. His hesitation slowly rose and soared. Thinking and wondering if everything Dimas said was not just a series of sweet words. Of course it will reap a sweet ending, right ?

Because of the promise that Dimas said just now, slowly a sense of calm enveloped the niche of the heart that was filled with turmoil.

Both of Mayang's eyes closed and he fell asleep.

Feeling no more movement, Dimas who is sure if Mayang has fallen asleep immediately took a swing.

The steps that had been relaxed, turned into so fast as lightning. But it is so balanced that the carried feel nothing but strong winds that actually make his sleep more soundly.

In just a short time, Dimas had already stopped the pace of his two legs.

Harbors.

Soon Dimas took the pullway.

With a sagging step, he tried to hide himself from the quiet surroundings because the time was getting up at dawn.

Dimas saw a long wooden bench that was on the side of the empty ship. He put Mayang down slowly. Must be because tired, Mayang sleep looks so slumbering that it has been unknowingly lowered from his carrier.

Before leaving the girl, she first covered the tiny body so as not to get cold. He also protected with a champion so that the existence of Mayang disguised by human eyes and from invisible creatures.

Only then can he leave even though his heart remains unsettled .

" Alright, I just need to find a short bald-headed man "

Dimas walked while circulating his gaze as he entered the main area where the center of trade entry and exit.

It turned out that at the gate which was the main part of the port, it was filled with humans who were busy passing by.

Most of those who work in this place seem to know no time. Evening still have to do the job because in the rush of time and also competition .

" Ck . Where can I find him in a crowd like this? '' Dimas seems to be having trouble. He was trapped in a male-dominated crowd.

" Hey, you ! Hurry over. We have to go right now ! " the cry of one who was on a ship not far from where Dimas stood.

Dimas spontaneously twisted his neck, looking towards the origin of the voice.

An offended smile on his lips. A short bald-headed man was dabbling around the waist while giving orders to two men carrying weights on his back.

" Meet, you "
