The Fragrant Soul

Chapter 13: A Man

“You know about Grand Lord Tanabasa?”

These were the first words Antasena heard when she opened her eyes in the morning.

“Oh? Renjani told you to go kill him?”

Raka just sighed while shrugging her shoulders.

“I've fought with him. We met a few times while I was walking outside. I can't

beat him, but he can't beat me either.”

“Wah, very high knowledge. I think I'll have a hard time beating him.”

“I myself wonder why he could be thrown into this valley,” said Antasena.

Sukma Harum's face hardened. So many things he had to do, so many puzzles that he had to

break. Sometimes he is confused where to start. Antasena looked at him fixedly and said, “You are still as you used to be.”

“What?”

“If you meet other people, either friends or opponents, your face is always cheerful, as if there is no burden. You

so calm and calm. Like a pingitan girl. But when alone, your true nature is visible. You're like a confused hen looking for her kids,” Antasena laughs.

Yep. In front of others, Raka is a famous Harum Sukma. In front of a friend

best of all, Sukma Harum is just a Raka.

“Maybe I become like this is because I know you who continue to bring shit,” said Raka while

laugh anyway.

“Actually what should you do?”

“Let's try to count. First, I must solve the riddle of the princess's slaughter. Second, I need to find

news about my sister. Third, I must solve the secret of false news about the Kampala bhiksu. Fourth, I have to look for a brother like Renjani who is not necessarily happy. Fifth, I must defeat Great Lord Tanabasa without killing him. Sixth, now everyone in the martial world made me

as a fugitive.”

“There are many things right,” Antasena said with a bitter smile. Sukma Harum just sighed. Know the mood to be quiet.

Then Antasena said in a deep tone, “You know, there's one thing I really hate about you?”

“Of course I know,” Laughter Raka with sour.

“I know you know. But I repeat it again, and again until you've completely changed. What I don't like about you

is, when it's fun, you always invite other people. But when it is difficult, you do not want anyone to know, let alone feel your distress,” exclaimed Antasena as if to dissipate his feelings.

If your best friend is pouring out her feelings, all you can do is listen quietly.

Sukma Harum shut up and listened.

“I know, you encouraged me to get married and live well-established is because you didn't want me involved to bear your distress,” this time Antasena eyes glazed over.

They were laughing happily, now the atmosphere turned sad and full of feelings. Is it because this feeling has been around for a long time?

True friendship, perhaps even stronger than the bond of marriage. Because the lover or wife can

leaving you for certain reasons. A true friend will never leave you as bad as you are.

That is why a small percentage of people are more concerned with their friendship than love. Because love can disappear, whereas solidarity will continue to live forever. Become a legend and be talked about until the end of time.

Raka said, “Marriage and descent is the best way to sustain life on earth. If

Antasena stared fixedly at his friend's face. For a long time he thought, “You think I can you

a fool? You supported me to get married and stop adventuring so I wouldn't get involved in your dangerous adventures. You want me to live a quiet and happy life, while you're out there going into danger,” her voice even sounds vibrating.

Raka did not answer. His best friend had been able to pierce through his deepest heart.

“Why are you so brave?” ask Antasena.

Raka gathered all her strength, then she finally said, “When Sukma Harum succeeded in fulfilling it

the famous task is the name of a Harum Sukma. No one knows Antasena. Even without Antasena, not a little effort Harum Sukma will succeed. When Sukma Harum succeeded in defeating the evil, which is famous is the name of Sukma Harum, no one heard the story of Antasena who

fighting beside him bravely. Without you struggling to sacrifice a soul, what would a Fragrant Sukma be?”

Antasena still looked at him fixedly, then said, “So you've been so cowardly and not

dare say? Why did you sacrifice friendship just for your guilt?”

Silent.

Continue Antasena, “You think I care about big names? You think your own sacrifice is meaningless? Moments

the chaotic world, the most sought after is Sukma Harum. When a dead person is killed without cause, Sukma Harum is the one who must find the culprit. When a chicken is missing, or the king's princess panties are missing, it is Sukma Harum who must go look for her!”

Furthermore, “Fighting with you is a pride. But I was struck by your encouragement that told me to stop adventuring and start a family, because I knew your true heart. I just want to listen to those words directly from you.”

“It is better that I walk alone on dangerous streets without a friend, because I know my best friend

now is living quietly at home with her lover,” said Raka.

“What kind of friend lets his best friend walk alone in danger, while he

alone live quietly at home with her lover?” antasena's question was so deep in his heart.

Both of their understandings are equally true. One does not want his best friend in danger,

the other one doesn't want his best friend to run the danger alone.

Then who's wrong?

Raka was laughing. Antasena looked at him in wonder.

“Our conversation this morning, if people hear wrong, then they will think we are same-sex lovers

who is fighting.”

“No tutoring!” antasena shouted in disdain while laughing as well.

“Do you want to help me?” ask Raka.

“Since I've been waiting for these words,”

“Go find my sister. Take him home, so that my heart may be at ease.”

“Now I'm leaving!” Antasena got up from his seat excitedly.

“You don't die on the road,” the laughter of Fragrant Sukma.

“You also do not die in the arms of women. Haha. I go!”

“Go there. I'm sick of seeing your look.”

There's no farewell. They just split up.
