Curse Forever

The welcome gate

🌺 hem... 🌺

Almost every day down drizzle. Many say if it is natural and very fitting considering that just the most festive and magnificent wedding . The marriage of the successor of the Indigenous leader in Batavia. Their hopes will be the next happy news. Especially if it is not pregnancy.

Day four of being a husband. But it felt like the first day for him. Because what ?Because last night he really felt real mutual satisfaction.

The banner is awake with the body position wrapped. He tilted his face to the side, at the figure still sleeping on his back.

Panji smiled, his hands raised up the blanket to cover his wife's body up to the shoulder limit.

But only for a moment, he pulled down the blanket up to his hips. The banner chuckled as Mina's hand raised the blanket up again.

'' You're awake apparently Panji widened his smile, turned his body and docked.

He hugged Mina from behind. Put both his hands on the wife's flat stomach.

'' Pan. eng. I.. '' Mina squirmed as she felt something hard touch her butt.

'' Call me like a wife to her husband ''

Mina stopped moving.

'' Why ? ''

'' ... ''

'' Isn't that supposed to be so ? Call me Kang Mas Panji said right in Mina's ear and bit her. I don't know why he feels anxious on the part of the body that is like boneless .

Mina flinching.

His hand squeezed tightly into the end of the blanket that covered the front of his body.

'' Mina Panji dipped on '''s shoulders, while his hand pressed slightly for his wife's body to turn around.

Mina turned her body , facing the handsome man who immediately brought the face closer to her face .

'' Let's forget what happened yesterday Panji slipped his fingers on the strands of Mina's hair.

The woman was still unmoved with her distinctive expression. Flat.

The pensive banner broke. He's iba. There was a desire to change that gaze, make it more colorful and turn it into a sweet smile. Mina will definitely look more beautiful.

But it looks like it will take time, extra patience and hard work. Because it will not be as easy as turning the palm to erode the dark time in the life of a Mina .

After all he knew about what kind of life his wife had lived all this time, to the heart-wrenching tragedy, Panji unanimously decided to accept it as it is.

He also cannot be with Mayang . Because the girl he loved a long time ago turned out to be his sister . He and Mayang have a blood relationship that cannot be combined in a bond between a man and a woman. They are created from the seed of the same person, but are born from different mothers.

'' Mina.

I'm sorry for what I said yesterday ''

'' ... ''

'' So, can we both try to live this marriage by opening up to each other.

I will try to open my heart to you. And I hope, you would do the same thing Panji kissed his lady's forehead, then pulled Mina into his arms.

Mina still didn't respond. He was too surprised and still hard to believe. He was scared too. If it turns out this is just a dream. A dream too beautiful to be considered reality.

At the same time but in a different place . The weather is inversely proportional.

If yesterday it rained without pause until night. This morning the sun seemed to come early and shone very brightly. Even though time is still morning. But the heat is already so stinging. Heat .

Ari Sindoro's ship has been on the coast since yesterday afternoon. But due to the storm, Dimas and Mayang could not immediately continue the journey . They waited for the weather to improve and stayed overnight on the boat.

The footprints crammed the edge of the sea, creating splashes of water that soaked the submerged lower clothing up to the knees.

Arisundoro went down first. Dimas then helped Mayang get off the ship.

They walked with careful steps until they reached the beach.

'' Is the location of Arkha village from here still far away, kang ? Which way should we walk ? '' asked Dimas to Arisundoro who was handing over Mayang's luggage.

'' You see that path ? '' The man with the head of the plontos pointed towards a clearly visible path because it was not far from where they stood.

Dimas looked at her and nodded.

'' It was a road that was often passed by the Company soldiers when delivering a criminal who would be banished to the village of Arkha. You could say it was the only way to Arkha village.

So you guys just follow that road ''

Dimas and Mayang looked at each other for a moment, then both twisted the neck. They looked at Arisundoro while nodding in understanding.

But I'm not just gonna leave you guys. Exactly one full moon starting today, I'll be back here. And I wish I could see you again .

So, use your time well and immediately do what you aim to come to Arkha village ''

After Dimas and Mayang thanked him and said goodbye, they separated.

Mayang and Dimas walked to the road shown, while Arisundoro returned to his ship.

Journey began.

The anchors were raised, the sails were laid back and the ship slowly began to leave a place where it was rare or never intended to go.

Often with the visibility getting further away, a white mist suddenly came out of nowhere and enveloped the surroundings .

The land that was visited earlier also disappeared . Then faintly the sound of a sparrow, the winged star typical of ocean explorers was heard. In just a moment, the atmosphere had changed.

The wind blew leisurely, the fog gradually disappeared and changed with the sunlight shining in accordance with the time.

On the ship that was sailing unhindered, Arisundoro was standing at the end of the deck of the ship. His gaze straightened to the place earlier.

He had been there once before. At that time, the Duke assigned him to escort Nyi Geno and Nyi Kiranti to that place.

Just like earlier, he only drove until the beach. After that he left and went back to pick up the two sisters, after passing a full moon .

The place is indeed full of mystery and thick with mystical nuances.

A full moon has its own meaning.

It was a time limit for one to be able to find and get there. Not because they want to hide or avoid it.

The island is like giving a limit for someone to be able to set foot on the land.

No one knows for sure why. As Arisundoro knows, one can find and arrive at the island only when after passing a full moon since the last time it came.

It's hard to believe. The island seems to be able to recognize anyone who comes and will count the time for the person to come again.

Therefore, only those who are experts in sailing the ocean and who have come to the island that can arrive and land there.

Lucky Arisundoro has both of those things . In addition to having visited the island once, he also has quite an experience . The result of working as a ship's slave to trust in the steering control section, makes him have expertise in recognizing the direction of the wind and everything about the ocean.

Hot stinging. Sweat pouring down from both temples to discuss the face . Even with a body that is no less wet by sweat that comes out of all body pores.

They walked for half a day. Mayang feel tired, mixed with the heat very .

But not with the man who goes hand in hand with him . It was also hot, but not one bit tired.

'' Is Arkha village still far away, Mas . How long should we walk ? I feel like I can no longer afford to ask Mayang to the man who since then until now, his steps have not changed.

Mayang who can't stand it anymore, lantas

stop the step, wipe off the sweat and lean on the big tree with its shady branches and twigs.

Strange .Though usually under the tree will feel shady . But this isn't. Even the wind was not blowing. It stays and gets hotter.

Dimas stopped his steps. He almost Mayang and poured out a drink that had been provided Arisundoro .

He smiled gently as he wiped away the sweat flowing on both sides of his girl's face.

'' Calm down, we have arrived Dimas said.

Mayang widened his eyes, staring at Dimas who was heading with the tip of his chin.

Because it was hot and too tired, Mayang did not pay attention to the road and its surroundings.He only focused on the land he was tracking. I didn't realize I was at the end of the road. Seen an archway with a medium-sized tree .

Gapura is a marker of entering an area .

It was true what Arisundoro said. It's not hard to find Arkha village. They only need to follow the road, which is the only way to get to the village.

'' You still walk ? Or do I want to carry it ? '' Dimas extended his hand.

Mayang. The outstretched hand he did not welcome, but instead put the place where the drink made of clay whose contents were almost finished he upright.

Mayang downed his body, took a deep breath and took a step forward. He and Dimas walked toward the welcome gate.
