The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

37. The Past of Sinta V

“Mother, I'm afraid”, little Sinta put her face in her mother's arms. His body did not stop shaking from seeing his father fight.

“Don't be afraid, mother will protect mu”, mother Sinta hugged her son tightly while observing her husband's fight with red devils.

Although she was afraid, she thought more about her son's situation. He must be calm so that his son does not constantly feel afraid. She gently stroked Sinta's hair in her sling hoping that Sinta would stop being frightened.

Sinta's body that had been shaking violently now slowly began to calm down. The caress of her mother made her heart become peaceful, not only with the caress of her hand, Sinta's mother also calmed her with the usual chant of Sinta's mother singing when going to put Sinta to bed.

Finally through the habit, Sinta was now able to calm down, her head now pitched up to see her mother's face. His mother smiled gently at him and he replied with a sweet smile.

“Mother, why would anyone want to do evil to us?”, asked Sinta innocently, “We will never do evil mother, father and mother are always good to others. Is there anyone else who hates us?”, Sinta kept asking her mother in her tiny voice.

His mother smiled warmly before answering Sinta's question, “Whether we are good to others there will definitely be people who hate us. Even the family itself will be toxic in the body”, Sinta's mother is now looking forward, “People who hate us will do anything to bring us down. Mommy shouldn't take that right...”.

“Mother... Can't we just apologize if we have something wrong with people who hate us?”, asked Sinta again.

Sinta's mother fell silent, she did not expect that the words had come out of her young child's mouth. Before he began to react, Sinta's tiny voice was heard again.

"Sorrying in advance won't demean us, will you?"

Sinta's mother smiled at her son, “Your words are true, apologizing to the one who hates us is a noble deed. I should have thought of that since I was”, Sinta's mother kept staring at her son's face.

He felt proud of his son's thought which seemed to show he had grown up. Ibu Sinta then hugged Sinta gently while saying, “You have a nature like your father who is always humble”.

Sinta's mother continued to hug Sinta and took cover behind the door of her room. She looked out to watch the fight from her husband. The fight had been going on for quite some time, she had been beguiled by her husband not to move on his own. As a wife she obeys every order from her husband, she will not go a long way before being ruled by her own husband.

With anxious feelings she watched her husband fight. Worried and afraid to continue haunting him, he did not want anything to happen with his family. “Please protect our family of gods, give me the strength to protect our family”, mother Sinta pleaded to the gods so that her family does not experience anything bad. He hopes his family tonight managed to survive the impact of the problems that hit their lives.

Wounds after wounds adorned the bodies of Sinta's father and the red demons due to their fight. Fresh blood flowed from those wounds and soaked their bodies. The red demon still continued to launch attacks, using both claws and horns on his head.

Meanwhile, Sinta's father was busy withholding the attack with his sword, the worse they fought the worse the look on his face. He realized that the longer this fight will make the burden in his hands heavier because it continues to release stamina.

“It won't be good, I have to end it immediately!”, with all the energy he has now Sinta's father raised the tempo of his attack to suppress the movement of his opponent.

And it turned out that it worked, with a strong determination he raised his own spirit. Now Sinta's father managed to turn things around by dominating the attack.

“Sial!, it can't be like this!”, the red demon swearing in his heart because now he who originally launched the attack is precisely now made into a defensive position.

He did not expect his opponent to still hold that much power, he continued to fend off attacks from his opponent with the claws he had. In fact he had calculated that after changing his form he would easily defeat his opponent.

But Sinta's father's spirit of survival is greater than the spirit of revenge of the red devil. It became a huge benchmark in their current fight.

Still in a state of cursing with the circumstances, subconsciously the red demon had shown one loophole to his opponent. Sinta's father who saw the gap did not waste the opportunity.

Sinta's father then leapt high upon the body of the red demon, when it was already at the appropriate height Sinta's father made a twisting motion forward with his sword he was kindness towards his red devil's back.

That quick and unexpected attack managed to hit the red demon. The red demon could not do much because it was too late to realize it, now that his opponent's sword had made a slash wound on his back.

“Arrrggghhhh...“, screech the red devil after Sinta's father slashed his back. The wound he received was so severe that it immediately fell to the ground.

Blood flowed profusely from that slash wound, with the remnants of the deep power he had the red devil trying to stop his bleeding. But of course it was very difficult because the wound was too severe and so severe he received.

Sinta's father saw his opponent fall to the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief looking at her. The last attack he used just now used the remnants of the inner power he had. Now his strength was drained and not long after he fell down on his knees.

Fresh blood shot out from the edge of his mouth, his gaze darkened. His body could not be moved, every wanted to move his body the pain would attack him.

“Uughhhhkkk... Uughhhhkkk... Uughhhhhkkk..”, Sinta's father coughed up blood repeatedly, his chest feeling so sore and hot as if there was a blazing fire in his body.

So hot and painful, she tried to endure but her body was never willing to act as she wished.

Seeing her husband fall in a kneeling position and coughing up enough blood made Sinta's mother worried about her husband's condition. She got out of hiding and ran towards her husband.
