Karuhuns

Episode 60: Longing

POV MALIKS

I've been looking for you for two years now, I was too shocked that day, two years ago, that I left instead of holding you back.

I started looking for you after almost 5 months you left, I decided to look for you because I felt something strange, Mamah came and said you were married, I saw Mamah crying and hugging me, then he said, that I was his son until whenever, this is strange, his son married to a rich and handsome young man, he said, then why did her mother come to her ex-child's house and cry like her daughter was in danger, wasn't she supposed to be happy because her daughter was married, but she kind of signaled to me that her daughter wasn't okay.

After that I searched everywhere for you, all your tracks, traces of your Karuhun and the Traces of all your brothers, even the traces of the entire Kharisma Jagat in this country, but you disappeared like swallowed by the earth, you disappeared, you disappeared, Pram's gone, what are you two doing? Where'd you guys.

I went through every area you may have been to, even one you may not have been to, Hanif contacted me many times, he held the company assisted by your sister Ser, Seina.

Papi, Mami and Maliyah are also looking for me, but I'm too afraid you'll be wretched, I don't care about my situation, eat and sleep wherever I don't care, anywhere wouldn't be comfortable without you Ser.

Days, months to even two years you're gone I finally found you, one of my informants told me that you and Pram occasionally go to the area, to the Market here to shop, to shop, without a second thought I immediately ran as fast as my location happened to be not far away and that's where I saw you, clasped his hands and you smiled carrying your groceries, you look happy my dear, is that what your heart is now? happy, without me ....

“You're married to that man?” I saw Seira looking at me very calmly, somehow I was happy, that my prejudices were wrong, you smiled, you were fine, I was almost crazy thinking about you and worried, afraid of anything happening to you, she said, but it turns out you're okay, for God's sake I'm happy Ser.

You said that my lover was an ABG so my appearance was so casual, you were wrong, my lover was you, you made me this mess, I don't even remember the last time I ate, I don't even remember, because every time there's information that says look at you, I just run, hang on a bus, train or ship, I can't wait for the long protocol to meet you, I'm afraid Ser, I'm afraid, without you it makes me almost crazy, without Seira Malik just an ordinary, meaningless human being.

...

Our last meeting made me feel light, very light, I saw you happy my love, as I told you, enough, enough you're happy, I'll move on with my life, start the days without you, maybe chase back my ideals, until he comes, comes to my office, meets me and Hanif.

“So what's your goal here?” the three of us talked in my office, I didn't like him much, I somehow felt nervous, scared, afraid of anything happening to you Ser.

“Coffee, do not be too bitter, this will be a long talk, it feels impolite if you drink alone you do not tawari.” Pram asked for coffee. Yes, Pramudya Aksara, the man who took my love, say so even though he was the owner of Seira actually from the beginning.

I ordered the OB to get us all the coffee and I asked him again, what's the matter here.

“As you know Seira is my current wife.”

“Ok, you didn't come showing off when you got married, did you?” Hanif angry.

“That's a lie, we're not married.” Pram's face is changing, serious and deep.

“Last time I saw you guys wearing the same ring, pomegranate red stone ring on your ring finger.” I asked back.

“Yes, it's to trick Seira's enemies, including you.”

“Means?” I was surprised, who was Seira's enemy and why he wanted to lie to me like lying to all his enemies.

While I was confused as to why Seira had changed, why she had become such an unpredictable girl.

“So you're not married and you're just accompanying her madness? What madness do you mean?” I asked.

　

　

　

　

“He fought a lot with the creatures, he assembled an army, after digging up a lot of things about this customary marriage, he found out the unusual things of this customary marriage, the, for two years he went from one location to another and eventually he got more incantation to fight, against customary marriage.”

“Where is he now? Who is he going to fight?” I was confused by all this, 2 years I was looking for him and 2 years also he changed a lot.

“I'll tell you the location, ask yourself what his goal is and who he wants to fight.” Pram didn't want to tell me in full.

“Why did you tell me, why did you give up on Seira? If you don't tell me, then he could be yours, even if it takes time.” I was confused by the steps that Pram took, it seemed like he was not a typical coward and ran away.

“He will not be mine, even if at any time, his love belongs to another man, he even fights this crazy just for your future, say, this is my gift to you, I do love him, I do love him, but I don't think having it is a good idea, I'll just make him suffer in a wedding cage.”

After a long explanation, then Pram told me that Seira was the easternmost forest in the country, Hanif and I rushed there, we only brought what we could hold.

“You're surprised Malik?” Hanif asked me when we were on Pram's Cessna, we were on loan because to get there could not be reached by ordinary commercial aircraft.

“I'm disappointed, why I don't know anything Nif.” I'm bowed.

“You guys love each other the most important thing and the fact is he's still yours Malik.” My brother who was so patiently calmed me down, I never said thank you to Hanif, he was always there for me, therefore I am grateful to have him as my brother.

As soon as we reached the forest I immediately searched Seira's residence, because Pram said the location was not difficult to find, the important thing is to enter the forest, we arrived there during the day, we arrived there, me and Hanif walked until afternoon, we've gone deep enough, until I saw someone running, I chased after him, then he stopped, I'm not sure who he is, human or ‘they’, he said, but as soon as I saw the Commander and Raden I was sure it was Seira, I ran closer, but he ran further and further away, I ran round to chase him, I ran as fast as I could, I ran as fast as I could, as soon as I was right in front of him, Seira fell into my body, I saw her clothes torn in many places, her face black with mud and in her stomach was stuck with a cleaver, my God what is she doing here, what he was looking for so he was like this, and then I heard him call my name, either because he saw me or he was hoping I would help him, I answered him and he fainted in my arms.
