With a slow step, Daya stepped her feet to help Jaka walk. From the back, the villagers pelted them with a lot of stuff. Starting from sandals, wood, drinking bottles, to stones. Power tries as much as possible to protect Jaka's weak body from the impact of these objects, but there are times when the object still hits Jaka's body. When one of the objects hit Jaka's head, he woke up from his stupor.
Jaka feels strange because he feels held up by someone, Jaka sees who the person carrying him is by trying to focus his gaze on the person next to him. However, Jaka's gaze was too blurred to be able to see
who's the one who saved him.
"Akh .. is very sick," Jaka said with pain all over his body.
"Move a little more so that you are not hit by the throwing of the citizens," said Daya carrying Jaka's body.
After a hard struggle, they were finally able to get out of the village safely, although their circumstances could not be said
doin' fine. The condition of Jaka's wounds was getting worse due to the throwing of the residents, and the body of Daya who carried Jaka's body was also affected. After Daya felt they had been away from the village, Daya laid Jaka's body on the ground. When Jaka's body was laid down by Daya, Jaka's gaze had returned to the present. Jaka saw who the man who had saved him was.
"K-k-kau ..," said Jaka shocked to not believe the man who saved his life was Daya. The person he always bothered while still studying in the cottage owned by Mr. Abdi.
"Don't say much, let me heal you first."
"Why do you want to cure me? Didn't I hurt you a lot?" jaka asked with a confused tone and look.
"We're friends, right?" said Daya with a friendly smile adorning her lips.
Hearing the word 'friend' from the person he always oppressed gave a crushing blow to Jaka's chest. Without tears rolling down her cheeks.
"But, it seems like the wounds I received cannot be healed anymore. You know what I feel right now?
"I felt a dramatic last moment and a sweet death. There is no more regret in me, and all doubts have been lost that are holding my heart back. Thank you for saying that I am your friend, those words mean a lot to me" Jaka said with a sad tone of feeling that he would die soon.
"Don't be happy, you'll be healed anyway, I'll use Arbitrium to heal your wounds" said Daya sitting cross-legged preparing to control the natural energy around her.
"Fuck, why don't you tell me from the beginning that you can use that energy" said Jaka, holding back the embarrassment of remembering the embarrassing words that came out of his mouth.
Power began to control the natural energy, its body giving off a black-colored aura that surrounded the body of Power. As the aura surrounded the body of Daya, all the wounds she received were healed as well. When the power of preparation is mature, Daya channeled her aura to Jaka's body. For a few moments, Jaka's body was fed by Daya's black aura. As the aura reached Jaka's body, it was slowly seen that the wounds all over Jaka's body began to close and heal instantly.
Jaka's initially limp body, now he can move his hand back. The wounds surrounding Jaka's body instantly disappeared and left. After Daya feels that the wound Jaka received has healed, Daya stops her aura and tells Jaka to sit down.
"Huh .. Thank you for saving me. By the way what's your name?" tanya Jaka sat leaning on the tree trunk looking for breath.
"Call me Daya" replied Daya standing up and opening her backpack with bread and giving it to Jaka.
"Hahaha, Daya. What a strange name. Ah .. thank you," Jaka laughed when he heard the name of Daya and took the bread of his gift.
Jaka opened the loaf of bread and ate it voraciously.
"Well, that's how. That's the name my parents gave me" Daya said, sitting on the ground looking at Jaka eating bread.
"I'm sorry, not that I'm not grateful for your gift, Daya. But I'm so hungry, can I ask for your food a little more" Jaka asked for food with his hand to Daya.
"Eh .. Is that bread over? I just sat down after I got you some bread," replied Daya, surprised to see that the bread she gave had eaten.
"Hehe ...," Jaka's laughter briefly sounded slow.
"If you're hungry, just take this, '" Daya said, giving Jaka his box.
"You're really gonna give it to me? Thanks Daya," said Jaka took the lunch box owned by Daya open and ate it greedily.
Daya waited for Jaka to finish his meal patiently. After a long wait, Jaka finally finished eating the food. Sendawa came out of Jaka's mouth, Daya gave the bottle to Jaka.
"Ah .. thank you," said Jaka took the bottle from Daya's hand and sipped it quickly.
*Glug glug ....
"What's your name?" tanya Daya looked at her handsome face.
"Ah, I thought you knew my name. Just call me Jaka."
"There are so many questions I want to ask you, so can you explain to me what happened to you?" ask Power with a face full of questions.
Jaka looked down, he tried to remember what happened. Jaka sighed and said,
"I'll explain everything to you. However, first of all accept my apology because I used to do things that are not appropriate for you," said Jaka sadly bowed his body.
"That passes, let it pass. Just explain why you will be executed by the village leader," asked Daya briefly.
Jaka also explained what happened to him so that he would be executed. Starting from his friendship, the village leader is his father, to the reason why he harmed others. After Jaka finishes telling Daya what happened, Daya takes the essence of Jaka's explanation,
"Ohh .. so the reason why the sturdy man smiled, because his son was saved well," Inner Power guessed what happened.
"I'm sorry about what you're going through, Jaka. But why are you friends with them? What's behind it?" tanya Power curious.
"As you know, I am the son of the village leader. My mother and father were so busy with their work that I had to play at home alone all day. I know what silence means and I understand what emptiness means. However, all of that was aggravated when I found out that my own parents made it.
"When I was eight years old, I felt bored playing at home. So I tried to play outside. While I was playing outside, I was almost bullied by a bunch of village kids. But I was saved by my four friends. I've been friends with them for years. During those years of friendship as well I felt something strange about them. Starting from asking for money that is not small to me, using village assets, to invite me to do things that I should not do.
"In my heart I felt I didn't want to play with them. But my thoughts refused to feel the silence and emptiness again. Many said that I had been manipulated by him, but I did not listen to him. Until I finally got to the limit, and you know what happened next. That's the story."
Power lowered his head, he felt sorry for Jaka for choosing the wrong friend.
"What are you going to do next, Daya? tanya Jaka breaks Daya's daydream.
"Ah .. I want to be a swordsman. But I don't know how to start."
"Then, please make me your best friend" Jaka pleaded with Daya.
"I don't know what else to do, I can't go back to Oregon. Please allow me to be your best friend" Jaka continued pleading with Daya.
"We're friends, aren't we?"
"Yes, I mean be my best friend."
"What mean? I don't understand."
"Do you want to be a warrior alone or with friends?" tanya Jaka made sure her steps were right.
"Nothing can be done alone. Of course I want to be a swordsman and adventure with my friends" Daya said confidently.
"When you wave yourself to be a swordsman in the swordsman's guild, you can choose your adventurer friend, the maximum is five people. So let me be your best friend."
"Oh .. okay."
"Thank you, Power."
Finally Jaka became friends as short as the first Daya. The real journey and challenge is just about to begin. Adventure is not easy and not easy to go through. But Daya believes, by believing and working hard with loyal friends, anything can be passed.
