The Dragon God Swordsman

36. The past of Sinta (5)

Like being struck by lightning speech from his mother made Sinta become increasingly hysterical. Her mother's hand that gently stroked her hair now fell to the ground before her. Sinta hugged her mother who was now stiff, her mother breathed her last with a smiling face.

Sinta's father who was watching from a distance began to shed tears. His sadness could not be contained anymore, losing the figure of the woman he loved really made his heart become sick. But according to the prevailing destiny where there is a meeting there will also be a farewell. His son's voice kept calling him asking him to hurry to where his wife was.

He then crept in with the remnants of the energy he was trying to gather. Slowly but surely he kept creeping to get closer to his wife and son. The pain in his body seemed to disappear and be replaced by a matchless feeling of sadness. Not long after he arrived where his wife was, he held the hand of his wife who now felt cold as he said, “Im sorry kanda, kanda, this is all wrong kanda” his tears broke when he looked at his wife's face.

“Dad, father's mother”, the remark was repeated by Sinta when her father was already nearby. Due to too much shock Sinta finally fainted beside her mother with her hands still tightly grasping her mother's hands.

“Dinda... Kanda apologized, if you could just let kanda take your place, Sinta's father kept crying and then hugged his wife. She still did not want her lover to leave her with her child. “Kanda promised to take care of Sinta as best as possible, calm down there dinda”, such is the last word Sinta's father said to his wife while peeping his wife's forehead for the last time.

He then grabbed Sinta to hug him, he wished to the god for his wife to be placed in the best place possible. Although his heart still did not accept but he was finally willing with the fate that had happened. Suddenly his gaze darkened again and not long after that he fainted beside his wife while hugging Sinta.

The sound of the fight in Sinta's residence made the citizens wake up from their deep sleep. Those who woke up and heard about it thought that night Sinta's father was training his silat disciples. But the screams of the red demons finally made them realize that something bad had happened in the residence of Sinta's father. The residents then report to the village leader who immediately delivered to other residents.

The residents then flocked out of his house and moved towards Sinta's father's residence to ascertain what happened. Arriving at the gate of Sinta's father's house the fishy smell of blood began to smell, when the gate was opened the fishy smell of blood was like attacking the sense of smell of citizens who came to see. So stinging, not a few residents who now turned pale face and some of them later vomited because they did not breathe the air that night mixed with the fishy smell of blood.

Then the residents who were still able to survive entered the residence deeper, now not only the smell of blood fishy but they saw corpses lying lifeless. The residents then examined one of the bodies and realized they had been killed. The village leader who heard the report ordered to find the whereabouts of Sinta's father and mother. The residents then split up and did not take long they finally found the whereabouts of the owner of the residence.

“Uncle... Uncle... Lothawat! Uncle Rama there he...”, a resident ran to report what he had seen. With a deathly pale face he ran towards the village leader. The village leader who saw it was astonished because his face was like that as if he was being chased by a ghost.

“Quiet, quiet. What the hell's going on? Have you found out where Mr Rama is?”, the village leader asked the people who ran towards him. The resident then told me he had found the whereabouts of Sinta's father and mother. But when it was about to approach suddenly there were two people dressed all in black coming towards them. The men then attacked the residents, the residents who were attacked did not stay silent and took their weapons back.

“Uncle... Let's help the other residents”, ask the residents to the village leader. Hearing the report, the village leader then moved all residents to go to a place that has been known. The two attackers were fighting some of the citizens, even if only the two but they were warriors and not too troublesome against these citizens. But when all the residents led by the village leader came they finally decided to run from the place, otherwise their lives would also be threatened.

Seeing the attackers fleeing the village leader asked some residents to pursue the attacker and some to check on the situation of Sinta's father and mother. They approached to confirm the condition of Sinta's parents, and then realized that one of the families had died. The village chief closed his eyes while breathing out softly, “Please take care of the other corpses, prepare a proper funeral tomorrow morning. And some of you please bring and take care of Mr. Rama and his son until they realize”, the order of the village head is immediately carried out by the citizens.

The residents did not expect that bad things had happened to this family. A family they respect and respect, a family that will never say no to if someone needs help. Feelings of sadness appeared in the minds of every citizen who witnessed the incident that night. They were very sorry for this incident, and certainly they felt sorry for Sinta who was still a child but had lost her beloved mother.

Bik Sekar was silent to hear the story from Sinta, he did not expect that the story of Sinta's childhood was so painful and bitter. Bik Sekar then turned towards Sinta who was now also silent with a blank look forward. Both have now reached the beach around their village.

Blowing wind accompanied their presence on the beach, so fresh and soothing. But Bik Sekar knew that Sinta was now being hit by sadness, it was clearly visible from the look of her face and her eyes began to glaze over. Bik Sekar then decided to speak so that the atmosphere returned to liquid.

“Non, there's a good place for us to sit. Let's sit there non”, take a bik sekar to Sinta.

Sinta who initially looks like a dumbass because it dissolves in her memory is awakened by the sound of Sekar's bik. He rubbed his teary eyes, not wanting to shed his tears again. He had already promised himself to be strong in accepting and living the destiny that had been set for him.

“Let's bik”, replied Sinta with a warm smile. Bik sekar then took his hand and they finally walked to the place designated by bik Sekar earlier.

When the two of them immediately sit down, Bik Sekar helps Sinta to a sitting position that makes Sinta comfortable considering Sinta's large stomach. Even to sit down he was a bit troubled, Sinta who received the help then smiled, “Thank you bik, I did not expect to get here with my condition now”, Sinta said after she sat down.

“Sama-sama non, we rest for a while here”, reply bik Sekar and then sit next to Sinta. They finally enjoy the scenery presented by nature at this time.
