The Dragon God Swordsman

31. Falling in love (2)

As a girl who turned into a teenager, Sinta has made it a prima donna in the eyes of men who see it. Not infrequently his residence was visited by nobles carrying his son to unite them in a bond of love. Many gifts brought for her in the form of beautiful clothes or jewelry, hoping that Sinta will agree to marry then she will live with the wealth.

Unfortunately such a thing would have no effect on Sinta. Since childhood he was taught by his father never to be infatuated with possessions. Sinta always protested with the teachings of her father who said such a thing. According to him, if life is in conflict with property, anything will be fulfilled. Until one day his eyes were opened by an incident that deeply sliced his heart.

As a girl, her father also taught her to interact with girls her age. Because of his jovial and good-natured temperament makes Sinta easy to get playmates. Not a few of his friends who will feel angry if Sinta does not come to play with them. Not only her friends, Sinta will also feel bored if not playing with her friends.

But people never know behind her beautiful face, Sinta has a bad nature that is too spoiled with her father. Since the departure of her mother when she was a child, her father had to take care of Sinta alone. Despite the weight of her father caring for Sinta with affection and always pampering Sinta at all times. Not infrequently Sinta will cry if his wishes are not obeyed. That trait was still with her until Aryo's arrival in her life.

A handsome, friendly and kind man. He will not hesitate to lend a hand to those who need help. As the crown prince made himself respected by the people. But Aryo will not show off his status, he prefers to interact with ordinary people.

Not every day his father's students practice silat, but the day when the two princes practice Sinta will go secretly to see him. Although impressed like a stalker, people who see it will understand Sinta's behavior.

Because his behavior is already known by many people even to the ears of his father. Then Sinta's father told Sinta to practice silat with his father's students. Sontak Sinta felt surprised and objected at his father's orders. As the only child and always spoiled make Sinta never in the least taught martial arts.

“This is for your own good”

“But dad... I'm too weak”

“Sint... I don't want to repeat the mistake that made your mother leave us. I love you so much, your nature is very similar to your mother. Whatever you do father will never be angry, but this time please follow father”'s request

Sinta fell silent after hearing the words from her father. His father's words just reminded him of the events of his bitter past. His mother was from among the dignitaries and his father was just a traveling swordsman. The two meet by accident and end up falling in love. But their love story is known by his mother's parents, then his mother was asked to break with her father.

But the word love does not shake his mother's desire to live with his father. The two then together facing in front of his mother's parents asking for blessing. Helpful reckless but his father was able to convince his future in-laws will make his mother happy and keep up at any time.

Seeing the earnestness of his father made both of his mother's parents become devastated. They eventually agree to the relationship but on the condition that they will not receive any money from their parents. His father and mother agreed to the condition and lived like ordinary people. Their lives were finally complete with Sinta's presence. Their days were filled with merrily laughter and felt so beautiful that the heart-wrenching event came.

Sinta was silent and the look on her face showed deep sadness. Slowly her eyes began to glaze over and Sinta turned her face not daring to look at Bik Sekar. Bik Sekar who saw it became confused what to do, seeing Sinta now as if he was lamenting his past made bik Sekar become misbehaved.

“Non is okay?”

“It's okay bik, I just remembered the story of my past”

“Better we just go home non”

“Do not bik, I still want to look around this village”

“What non can still walk?”

“I am still strong bik, what aunt who is getting tired accompany me?”

“Ahh... Not so non. Seeing non look sad just now makes the aunt feel wrong. Bibik does not know what makes non can be sad so rather than continue it is better not to rest alone at home”

Sinta again fell silent to the explanation from Bik Sekar. His current feeling was like he wanted to be angry but one side was also so sad. He then closed his eyes and exhaled softly before returning to speak.

“I want to be angry bik, but I can't”

“Non, don't mind too much. Non content is already in old age, non should pay attention to the health of non” content

“Good bik”

“Thinking with a cool head will make everything better”

“I've felt better bik, thank you. Let's continue the journey again and I will start telling you again”, Sinta invites bik Sekar to continue his second journey. Seeing Sinta's smile that is so sweet makes Sekar sure to obey Sinta's request.

“If non want like that let bibik befriend” bik Sekar reply with a smile too. Then they continued their journey around the village. Sinta re-connect the story that is not over and make Sekar focus to listen to the connection of the story again.
