Power Legend

37: Maya Revina (3/5).

"Let's follow me, I'll show you something that might ease your pain."

With her right hand held, Maya follows the boy's pull down the path. Maya neither asks nor complains about where the boy is taking her. After a few minutes Maya follows in her footsteps, the boy finally releases Maya's hand in a place she has never been before. Maya looked around her, on her right and left side there were only trees while in front of her was a small gate that read 'Welcome'.

"Where is this?" little Maya asked after the boy let go of Maya's hand while looking at the area around her.

"Close your eyes" the boy asked.

Unsuspecting at all, Maya complies with the boy's request by closing her eyes with both hands. After Maya closes her eyes, Maya feels her back being pushed slowly, the boy guides Maya into the gate that reads 'Welcome. After they got inside, the boy asked Maya to recoil from the three and opened her eyes. Maya complies with her request and begins counting.

"Three ... two ... one!" maya counted down from three and opened her eyes.

As Maya looked towards the front, her eyes were wide open by the dazzling sight before her. He saw flowers of various colors growing beautifully around some square-shaped land. Seeing this beautiful sight before him made him forget to blink.

"How is ... beautiful, isn't it?" the boy asked proudly to show his flower bed to Maya.

Hearing the boy's question, Maya began to remember to blink and look at the boy as she said, Maya said,

"Wahh .. is this beautiful, this garden is yours?" asked Maya with sparkling eyes.

"You could say that, this flower plant is a relic of my parents. Now I'm the one guarding this garden" the boy replied proudly showing his garden.

"What's your name, by the way?" asked Maya curious about the name of the boy next to her.

"Call me as Po."

Maya sees Po and smiles a little, seeing Maya smiling makes Po feel he is being praised by Maya.

"Hahaha ... What a cool name, right?" said Po proudly.

Maya simply replied to Po with a small nod. Po invites Maya to go deeper into his garden. The deeper the Maya entered, the more types of bunga that Maya saw.the four square that housed the flowers were very large, approximately one square could hold flowers up to fifty seeds.

"Wahh .. lots of flowers, good colors."

"Hahaha .. of course, if I keep it good."

"Do you want to know how I take care of this garden to produce a bunga as beautiful as this, Maya?" tanya Po offers Maya a way of gardening.

"Yes! I want!" maya replied excitedly listening to Po's invitation.

Po who saw the enthusiasm of Maya was also happy to hear it. Po takes Maya to a small hut where he keeps things to take care of his garden. Po went into the hut for a few minutes and came out with various tools and materials for gardening. Such as grain, water, fertilizer, compost and shovel.

"Hand nih ..," said Po while giving all the items he held onto Maya's lap.

Maya who received all the gardening tools from Po overwhelmed him. Maya tries to keep the device from falling to the ground, which might damage Po's device.

"Ihh ... Don't all donk!" decak Maya is upset with the hand holding Po's tools in his lap.

Po who sees Maya half crouching with his belongings just smiles and tells Maya to follow him to his garden map. With Maya forced to obey Po's orders, Maya walks slowly in a half-couched position holding the weight she holds. Upon reaching the map, Maya lowers all of Po's belongings slowly and scolds him.

"If you do that one more time, I'll throw your tools in the trash!" threaten little Maya with a sullen face.

"Hahaha .. sorry, sorry. You want to know how to plant flowers, don't you?"

The frown that adorned Maya's face suddenly dimmed after Po alluded about planting flowers.

"You donk!" answer Maya in flames.

Po who saw Maya had forgotten her sense of regret was just a small smile.

"Yep," answered Maya after seeing the peat soil that was still empty, around the empty land was full planted by a variety of brightly colored flowers.

"We'll plant flowers there. I will tell you what to do, while you do what I tell you to do! First grab that shovel and dig the ground 1.5cm deep!" po's orders tell Maya to do what she says.

Maya squats to pick up the shovel with her right hand and begins to dig into the ground according to what Po ordered.

"Is this 1.5cm?" maya asked after digging the ground in front of her.

"Hmm .. is enough. Now put the rose seed into the ground you made!"

Maya searches for where Po's seeds lie around his tools. After a few seconds Maya searched, Maya finally found him in a plastic that looks wet. Confused, Maya asks why the plastic is wet. Then Po

answer,

"It is a seed that has been soaked in water for one day, the purpose of which is soaked so that we can quickly increase the moisture content around the seed, the goal of which is soaking, so when planted will signal to the seeds that conditions are safe to grow," explained Po seriously.

Maya listens to everything Po explains and remembers it.

"Give a little bit of the compost powder and then cover it using soil and do not press it! After closed, give a little fertilizer on it as an additional nutrient! If you are ready to eat water always in the morning."

"Wahh .. easy also yes planting flowers," said Maya while patting her two dirty palms after finishing planting rose seeds.

"Yes, easy .. You do not just plant, the hardest thing in gardening is to keep the plants alive!"

Maya is stunned to hear Po's words, a simple word but of great value. Due to the dark times, Maya wishes to return home and say goodbye to Po.

As Maya is about to make her way to the Maya gate, she is summoned by Po. As Maya stands right in front of Po, Maya sees Po's strange gestures with his hands hidden backwards as if holding something.

"I have a little gift for you, Maya," said Po looking at Maya's face.

"What's that?" ask Maya curious.

"Close your eyes and open your palms!"

Maya closes her eyes and raises her open hand towards Po, after a few seconds in this position, Maya feels Po's hand move her hand as if telling Maya to hold something.

"Now you can open your eyes" said Po telling Maya to open her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, Maya was again surprised by a rose she held. The beautiful, ripe and blooming flower that Maya tightly gripped. Maya's tears fall knowing Po gave her a gift, Maya thanks him and hugs Po. The Po that Maya hugged felt a tremendous shock. A hug and warmth he had never felt since his parents were gone. During this time many people were afraid of Po's face, but only Maya was not afraid and even gave him the warmth of a hug.

Unexpectedly Po tears also dripped, Po returned Maya's embrace tightly as if he did not want to let go. They hugged for almost two minutes until they finally let go of her embrace and smiled shyly.

"Thank you for the flowers, Po. I will keep this flower with the knowledge you have given me" Maya said with a smile on her lips.

Po smiles and waves his hand as Maya leaves his garden. As Maya was about to walk out of the gate, Po shouted out loud,

"May! If you have time again don't forget to visit me in this garden again yahh!"

Maya turns around and also yells so Po can hear her, "Yahh! I will definitely come again!"

Maya also stepped her feet away from Po's garden and went home because she was afraid Grandpa was worried about her.
