The guardians of the past
Episode 37's
“That boy complained to me that no-no no, right?”
“Bocah?”
“The young man, Rinja.” Then Rara said even tighter, “you really hope I follow what a teenager ordered, huh?”
The hero shook Rara's body again. Still floating on the ground, Rara responded by frowning at the man.
Wira actually makes Rara feel like a child, because the man is so big compared to her, and other people, at least people in Rara's time do not treat adult women like the way Wira treats her now.
“I hope, you have the common sense to obey him,” Wira said. Rinja just gave an implied briefing for your own safety. Didn't he remind you to stay put on this fine?”
“Actually, he just said he would keep me safe here until you get back.”
Wira's forehead wrinkle seems to work more effectively than Rara's, making her feel uncomfortable, making her wish she didn't use the excuse that she understood the young man's warning literally.
They both understood that he did not leave the tent, although he did the opposite.
And I don't mind going back to explain it but in a more empathic way, “you'll never again do what goes against what I say, no matter who informs you. Because of your carelessness, now I am indebted to the person I do not want to owe him.”
Is that why Wira is so angry, more angry than because she almost got seriously injured? Rara was curious.
The thought was somehow painful for Rara, and she said in a mocking tone, “yah, then what a pity, yes.”
Rara got one more shake. Rara only realized that she should have waited until Wira dropped her first before she said something sarcasm again.
And it's time for the Wira to drop it. Rara was about to say so, but the man was not finished with his punishment.
Rara knew enough the words mistress could refer to a mistress, the kind of woman who was treated without respect. That's why Rara screeched, “What?! How dare you...”.
“That guy now will probably be brave enough to ask for his payment in the form..dirimu.”.
“Dia...he will not dare!” Rara hissed, wrathfully, but then she added, “What would give me to her just like that if she asked me?”
“Nyi, if he asks so, I will kill him.”
The reply made Rara even more angry. “Oh, of course. That man has done a favor and you will behead him for that, what kind of way of thanking is that, when by just saying no you can't have enough?”
“There is humiliation..”.
“I don't want to hear any nonsense regarding the honor of men, Wira.
What exactly makes you tell her that I'm your mistress?”
“I was forced to tell him like that, so that I could take you, because he used to ask and be told that I have no wife.”
“Why don't you just tell her that I'm the girl you saved? Or your sister who came to visit? Or let's just say that I'm your friend..”.
“Yeah, can't Rara.. she will know..”.
Rara let out an irritated voice and tried hard so that her feet could touch the ground. It was a futile effort, which made him let out a slightly snapping sound, “get me down!”
