Sapphire City's
Chapter 25: The Mysterious Gem
Yuda sat on the sofa in the dorm room, after he took a long bath (1 hour) cleaning the body of perfume and softener. Even after she finished her bath, the fragrance of her perfume still enveloped her dorm room. He even remembered the moment he and Mirna returned from the base. All the people Mirna and Yuda passed by immediately held their breaths due to the fragrance of the perfume being so explosive. That's why the two of them were forced to run to their respective dorm rooms to clean up the remnants of the perfume and softener that stuck.
The door of Yuda's dormitory room opened slowly, someone peeked out from outside.
“their still stick apparently”
Apparently it was Luca's voice, followed by Andy from behind.
Yuda had no intention of getting up, his tiredness was dead.
“need I admit, just this time someone went home mission brought home perfume bomb” Andy commented.
“seisi aisle dorm still smells your perfume loh” added Luca.
“silence I'm tired” respond Yuda, still sitting limp
“ampun, you what mission anyway, until home perfume fragrance?” Ask Andy.
“babi spanking bro” reply Yuda.
Luca and Andy were confused, as if in their minds saying what the pig had to do with perfume.
“he said matis it if in the form of an animal such as a pig sprawl, it's just a physical figure doang, it, but the weakness of the animals also kebawa” Yuda explained by the position of the body nyender to the sofa and head and lehet above the head of the sofa, both hands stretched to the right and left.
“so he means even in the form of a pig spanking but the nature and weakness of a pig like a wild pig remains” Andy tried to straighten.
“utah” reply Yuda.
“oh yes also” Luca just realized “babi it's a sharp smell, although sharp but if you smell a certain smell will even interfere with their smell”
“so that's why” says Andy.
After a short conversation, Luca and Andy went out. They both had other jobs waiting. Yuda was not interested in catching up with them. All residents of the dorm room were average on there mission and work respectively, so that Yuda was left alone in the dorm.
Yuda decided to lie down on his bed. At least he wanted to close his eyes for a short while. Yuda laid his body to the right, glancing at the table next to his bed. There was a glass bottle containing the gem that he had just found.
Judah took the jewel and observed it while sleeping. The blue color of the gem is like sky blue but more clear. The gem is long and curved sideways, but there are ridges on each side, like fractures. That means there are other parts of the gem that Yuda can put together.
But if you look carefully, it is not special at all. The color alone is not like the sapphire gem that is always used. Then why the pig squeezed this blue gem into the bell, if only to produce the sound of the power is not possible.
Questions gathered in Judah's mind and there was nothing he could answer. But even if this is special, then for what?.
“cape ah”
Yuda put the bottle in his closet drawer, there was no point in him thinking but no answer. He closed his eyes and slept for a while.
2 Days later.
Yuda finished practicing martial arts in the training room. Some people besides him were also both finished, one by one they left the training room leaving Judah alone. Although there is no mission call, training sessions are still carried out to improve the physical and skill of the members.
From the direction of the entrance, Mirna appeared she came alone. She seemed to be training, but when she saw that there was Yuda there, Mirna approached Judah.
“alone?” Ask Mirna.
“yep, I want to go back to room” replied Yuda.
“jewel that time you found how?”
“what's possible just to make doang” sound
“I also initially thought like that” Yuda agreed with Mirna.
Mirna stood up, she slit out the sword she had been holding, it was the sword she had previously used and the time of the mission was rinsed away just as the perfume water had been finished mending. Yuda thinks his sword is broken and wants to be replaced, it turns out the condition of the sword is fine.
“not rusty sword?’ Ask Yuda.
Mirna swung her sword up and down many times “untungnya enggak” his face aga pout.
The girl refocused on practicing swinging her sword many times. Seeing Mirna swing her sword made Yuda think she, Luca and a handful of members were willing to use the sword. The rest mostly used firearms. But if you are already engaged in the mission of both types of weapons can be a fitting combi.
There was a hanging from Mirna's neck, a necklace. Like a long glass, the top is taper and attached hanger to the rope. The necklace is shaped beams at the top and bottom there is a pentagonal prism. If you look carefully the length of the glass necklace is about 3cm more. The clear color shows something from behind the glass.along objects with a strange golden color.
“you watch what?” Mirna realizes that Yuda is watching her.
Quickly Yuda trying to find the right answer “ma.sorry, that I was curious about the necklace you use”
Mirna takes necklace she uses “ini?”
Yuda nagged “iya, the shape is unique so I was curious”
“ini necklace relic grandma” reply Mirna “mau see”
Mirna lent the necklace she wore to Yuda. This necklace is so light in the hand, really like made of glass, so clear there is no pale color on the surface. But in this glass necklace Yuda was curious. A long golden object with both top and bottom ends is like a four-layer flower crown that is about to close.
“what's inside?” Ask Yuda.
“that's miniature Bajra and Vajra” replied Mirna.
“what is it?”
“you don't know? That's a loh” heirloom weapon
“time anyway?” Yuda still can't believe it.
“iya” greeting Mirna so convincing “it used to be a weapon”
Yuda still does not believe, not only does he not know of a weapon Bajra and Vajra or you could say Judah just knew there are heirloom weapons named Bajra and Vajra. In addition, the miniature form inside the necklace Mirna made the young man feel like a real miniature.
“what is your grandmother giving you this?”
Mirna nodded with a small smile “iya, initially this is my dear necklace grandmother. When I was 7 years old, I often saw grandma always wearing it, the necklace was so good when grandma dipake. Because I was a kid, I whined I wanted a necklace that Grandma made. In the end on my 8th birthday, grandma gave her necklace as my birthday gift”
Yuda notices Mirna telling him about her grandmother. Never had Judah seen Mirna's face like this, she was rarely smiling and sometimes cold. I can smile softly when I talk about my family.
“but, a month after. Grandma died” Mirna's face turned sad.
“sorry, I made you remember your grandmother's almahum” Yuda feeling guilty.
“what is it. But every time I see this necklace, I always remember the figure of grandma. My mom always said to always keep this necklace because it's a granny” relic
“so well, then your mother what is jakarta?”
Either Yuda asks wrongly or he is upset, but when Yuda asks about Mirna's mother, Mirna's face changes, which all softens to death. No words came out of Mirna's mouth, she was silent. Mirna put on her necklace and left Judah alone in silence.
The girl's passing makes Yuda wonder what really happened to Mirna's mother, when she told him about her grandmother, Mirna seemed to smile warmly because it was filled with sweet memories, but when she asked about mother, she suddenly fell silent as if there was something she did not tell. Judah though curious but he did not really want to find out, fearing that it was a matter of the Mirna family, Yuda who is an outsider does not have the right to know about the Mirna family.[]
