"I beg you, don't do anything, ' will you, '" said Bima.
For a lifetime, this was the first time Bima had pleaded with her father. All this time, whatever the father wanted, Bima always obeyed him.
"Solve your business with him. You know I'm always watching you, right? Don't let me down!" The king gave a stern warning to Bima.
"Thank you, King," said Bima.
Treatment for Bima began. Bima Concentrate, receive treatment with deep energy strength. I don't know how long he has to be patient with this treatment. Inwardly, he only wished Tresi could survive.
Steady, Tresi! Wait for me to come. There's something I have to tell you.
With his great determination, the recovery that should have taken three to five days, only went for a full day. Bending his day, he felt his body getting fitter. The elders who treated it, were astonished by the recovery that occurred in the body of Bima.
"Bima, as the elders of this kingdom, we have the right to warn you. Listen carefully! You need to stay away from that human. You're different. It is not only the gods who will oppose your relationship. Even the universe will oppose it."
Bima only listened to the warnings from the elders. Although honestly, Bima's heart rejected the advice.
"May I ask you something?" ask Bima.
With a hand signal, the elders invited Bima to speak. Bima cleared her throat, to relax her throat. Then, looked at the elders with confidence.
"I know there is no way to change man, to be like our nation." Bima stopped her speech. He looked one by one at the elders.
"My question is, is there a way to make me a full human being?"
A sense of surprise was clearly visible on the faces of the elders. They did not expect, if Bima just want to be human.
"If you become human, then you will lose all your strength" replied one of them.
"That's not the answer I want. I wonder, is there any way, to turn myself into a complete human being?"
"Never has it been history, our nation has turned into a human being. Please, Prince, rethink the consequences" they asked.
Not getting the desired answer, making Bima choose to leave the place. He has to go see Tresi. Let it be, he'll find his own year.
I'll find out later. Now, I have to meet Tresi. I felt uneasy before meeting him.
The elders were silent and did not prevent Bima's departure.

In a hospital, Emi was staring confusedly at her best friend. There are more than five hospitals. However, none of them were able to treat Tresi. Everyone said the girl was okay.
What's okay. Tresi's body was even getting weaker. Actually, what makes Tresi like this?
"Em," call Tresi weak.
"Why, Tres?" ask Emi.
"We better get home. I am sure, the condition that I experienced is related to Bima. In a moment, he'll be back" Tresi said.
"Hah, are you so much love for Bima, until you get sick like this? se-bucin it's you're like him," scoffed Emi.
"Lo don't forget, right, if Bima's pearl is in my body?" Tresi reminds the existence of Bima pearls.
"Ah, because of that. So, you mean, the pearl that can not be far from Bima? And because of that too, Lo's body is affected?" Emi looked at Tresi. Trying to find the truth in the eyes of his best friend.
"You know, let's go home, let's take Emi." he said.
They started to prepare to return home. Although weak, Tresi did not want to stay silent. He helped Emi clean up their luggage. Troubled, they stepped out of the hospital.
Right in front of the hospital, Tresi sees the arrival of the bima. The man approached her slowly. Eyes sparkling. Is this just my feeling? Or is he happy to see me? inner Tresi.
"Are you okay?" ask Bima.
The man held onto Tresi's soft shoulder. Just a nod of weak heads that Tresi gave in response. Bima smiled. Seeing the condition of Tresi is very weak, making Bima take the initiative to carry Tresi ala bridal style.
"Bim, ashamed of the crowd" protested Tresi.
"Let them with their assumptions. I don't want you to get any weaker. Sleep," said Bima softly.
Tresi obeyed Bima's orders. It didn't take long, he actually fell asleep. Bima can feel, the rest of the energy that Tresi has. He's getting weaker. Really, I don't want to lose him. Can't we unite? Inner Bima screamed.
After making sure Tresi fell asleep, Emi started telling Bima everything. "Gue doesn't know what happened to Tresi. For almost a month, his body had been steadily weakening. She's been feeling weak since you left.
Emi took a deep breath in a moment. Then, slow him down before continuing his story.
"All the hospitals, healers, clinics, declared no problems with Tresi's health." Emi ended her story.
"Honestly, I want to take her to my place. Perhaps, the healers of my people can treat it," said Bima honestly.
"If I can, I support your decision. But I can come, right? I have to make sure Tresi can survive or not."
Bima nodded her head, agreeing to Emi's request. "Hold my hand strong. We must get to the forest soon!" titah Bima's.
Emi nodded her head. His hand held firmly Bima's arm. Without wasting any time, Bima immediately darted towards the forest. Arriving at the cottage that Bima established, he immediately concocted a potion that he knew to increase energy. Hoping, with the potion, Tresi's body recovered.
Tresi started to open his eyes. He looked around. "Why are we here?" tresi asked when he found out where he was.
"Try drinking this," said Bima.
Emi helped Tresi to drink the potion. Bima. After finishing the potion, Bima again checked the condition of Tresi.
There's no change. Should I let it go?
Unknowingly, a speck of clear grain fell from the corner of Bima's eye. Bima's hurry wiped it off.
"Hows it? Is there a change?" ask Emi.
Emi looked at both of Bima's eyes. There was clearly sadness. Unknowingly, Emi was crying. Should they give up Tresi?
