PURPLE WITCH

44. ACCOMPANY

"ma'am, why is Grandpa suddenly laughing...? is there something funny...!" ask Via astonished.

"no, nothing funny...! I just feel happy...! hahahaha... hahahaha.." replied the old geezer still laughing out loud.

"hey, old man...! what makes you so happy that you laugh so hard...?" this time the man asked.

"it's none of your business, young man...! this is my business with this lady...!!!" the old man replied immediately stopping his laughter.

"hey old man...! do you want to return my words...?" The hero looks upset.

ignoring the Hero, the old man again said to Via,

"little lady, may I know the name of miss...?"

"i am Sephia Sheila, Kek..., commonly called Via...! grandpa himself...?"

"call me, Grandpa Cupet...!"

"well, Grandpa Cupet...!"

"where did Miss Via come from...?"

"i am from Darmateteen village, kek...!"

"oh, from Tanadewa...! how come little lady came to this capital...?"

"actually my destination is not this city, I only stopped by a few days to rest, my destination is still far south...!"

"why did little lady go south...?"

"i want to see my grandmother to learn something...!"

"learn something...? what is treatment...?"

"ba.... how does grandpa know...?"

"i just guessed it...! almost all owners of that ability have a strong desire to become a healer...!"

"grandfather is right, from childhood I did have the desire to cure various diseases...!"

"then, what's the name of little lady's grandmother...?"

"sorry, cake.., papa forbade me to mention his name...!"

"hmmmm.. alright, I understand...! but, does the little lady's grandmother have a special call...? or maybe a nickname...?"

"said papa, used to be called a white witch...!"

"white witch...?! is miss seriously...?"

"i. yes cake...!"

"crazy White Basics...! he couldn't have told me he already had a grandson...! watch out later if you see me...!!!" grandpa Cupet muttered to himself.

"do you know my grandmother...?"

"of course I know him...! She's one of my best friends...!!!"

"wah, it just so happens that my dong met my grandfather here...! do you know where Grandma is...?"

"i don't know, I haven't seen him in five years...! but I think little lady's goal is correct...! just keep the safety, surely miss will find it there...!"

"i.. yes, cake...!"

"By the way, if she's a granddaughter, it means the mother of her child...! does the lady also have special abilities like miss...?"

"no, cake...! mama doesn't have that ability...!"

"where's the lady, you know...?"

"because mom herself was not sure of the ability...! mama told me to go see grandma to see if I really had that ability...!"

"hmmmm.., that's weird...!"

"strange why, cake...?"

"it should be passed down from parent to child, then passed down again to grandchildren, and so on...! is it possible that the lady deliberately hid it from the lady for a certain purpose...?"

"certain purpose...?! what purpose, cake...?" Via looks confused.

"i don't know either, you better find out for yourself...! well, you better come with me now, little lady, let me tell you the story...!"

without asking any more, Via and Wira then followed Grandpa Cupet walking to a dark brown wooden door.on the edge of the door, there were some strange symbols carved carelessly.

for a moment Via seemed stunned to notice the symbols.

"kek, what symbol is this...? why is it like a sentence...?" ask Via curiously.

"oh, that is indeed a sentence written in BRAHMI SCRIPT...!!!"

"the Brahmi axis...?!"

"yes, it's Brahmi...! it used to be used before we knew the alphabet...!"

"yeah...? then, what's the sentence written here, cake...?" ask Via again.

"the sentence was read, CANG SING NGELAH GAE...!!!"

"cang sing ngelah gae...?! what language is that, Cake...? meaning what...?" ask Via getting curious.

"hahahaha.it's not something that matters...! it was just the prank of a drunk young man who came here this time...!" reply Grandpa Cupet while opening the door.

"please let little lady in...!" said Grandpa Cupet Permit Via entry.

"yes, cake...!"

Via then put his foot in, followed by Wira behind him, but just Wira was about to enter, suddenly Grandpa Cupet said again, again,

"hey young man, where are you going...?!"

"yes, I want to come in...!"

"why are you going in...?!"

"of course I would like to accompany my friend...!"

"why are you accompanying her...?"

"yes because he's my friend...!"

"i know he's your friend...! I also know you accompanied him here...! but why did you go inside...? do you have any business inside...?"

"i have no business inside, I just want to accompany him...!"

"if you have no business inside, you better wait here...!"

"grandpa is weird...! already know I'm here with him, why can't I go in...?" The hero looks upset.

"why can't you...?" The hero asked back.

"young man, you are deaf, yes...!!! didn't I just say, this is my business with him, not yours...!!! so you better wait here...!"

"basic fucking grandpa...! you did deliberately want to reply to my words earlier huh...?!" as if Wira is upset.

regardless of the annoyed Wira, Cupet's grandfather immediately closed the door.

...

"well, before I tell you anything, I want little lady to promise not to tell anyone what she's going to write later, including that arrogant lady friend...!"

"i.. yes, cake...!"

"and one more thing, maybe my story will be longer than what the lady read in the book.., but believe me...! what I'm telling you is the full story, before it's cut by the government...!"

"why did the government cut the story, kek...?"

"i could have said the reason now, but I'd better find out later miss...! because it could be what I know now, it would be very different from what the lady will meet later...!"

"well, cake.., I understand...!"

...

almost half an hour passed, until Cupet's grandfather finally ended the story.

"hiks.. hiks... hiks.. it turns out the story is sadder than I ever read...!"

"well, that's...! I hope little lady can learn from this story and not repeat the same mistakes...!"

"i.. yes, cake...!"

"alright, then it's best that we go back to the proud lady's friend before she dies of boredom, hehehe..."

"i.. yes, cake...!"

...

after saying goodbye, Via and Wira then left the grandfather's bookstore Cupet.

"are you happy now...?"

"yes, I'm so happy...! everything I've been looking for I've got...! makasi yes, already want to accompany me...!"

"for what the word makasi, there is no use...!"

"trus, what do you want...?"

"reply with...!"

"the...?"

"friend me...!"

"befriend what...? in bed...? make love...? will I hit your head with a helmet...?!"

"hahahaha.. don't be so fierce...! I don't want that...!"

"then...?"

"now I have a meeting of the entire bureau, so I ask you to accompany me...?"

"for what...?"

"so that no one comes near me...!"

"nearest you...?! you mean...!"

"let me explain, the meeting of the whole bureau was not an official meeting like a big company meeting, but rather a big party full of food, drinks and beautiful girls...!"

"then, what does this have to do with me...?"

"well, in the party, usually the girls will try to attract my attention...! well, be advised, as handsome branch bureau leaders, they would all want to be my partner...!"

"lho, that's not good...! who knows if one of them is there that you can have fun with, at least for one night...!"

"i'm tired of them all...! they approached me just to look for face...! in bed they talk about only money, wealth, position, and everything related to power...! none of them I've ever dated really liked me...! or at least know how to have fun...!"

"haha... rasain...! it's all your karma for playing women...!"

"i don't care if it's karma or not, obviously, I'm asking you to accompany me so that no one comes near me...!"

"so you're saying I'm pretending to be your girlfriend...?"

"well, more or less like that...!"

"why are you taking me, not Timi...? didn't you guys look very friendly last night...? I think he'll be better than me...!"

"i can't take her...! other than because He now works, He is still innocent and innocent...! I don't think she'll be able to deal with the insinuations and pressures that those demonic women will be subjected to...!"

"so you think I'm capable...?"

"of course...! besides being fierce, you are also a little crazy...!!! I think they'll think twice about bothering you...!"

"thank you for the compliment...! but baby, I have to turn it down...!"

"why...?"

"because I have to get ready for my departure tomorrow...!"

"ah, if that's just leave it to Amel, I guarantee that he can prepare everything well...!"

"are you sure...?"

"very sure...! He has been working for me for over ten years...! if he lets you down, I'll fire him tomorrow...!!!"

"hey, don't be so hard on him...! well, in return for taking me shopping, I agreed to accompany you and pretend to be your girlfriend, but on condition..."

"what...?"

"don't take advantage of the situation by hugging and kissing me...!"

"ah, I think it's impossible...! how can anyone believe you're my girlfriend if we don't look friendly...!"

"hm. alright, you can hug me and kiss me, but only on the cheeks...! not on the lips...!"

"i agree...! I promise I won't kiss you on the lips, unless..."

"what's the secret...?"

"unless you ask for it...! hehe..."

"don't...!!!"
