“A-I'm fine. Thank you miss for saving me” the man seemed to blush.
The brown netra of the man in thick and pretty clothes did not dare to look at Milo. His mouth was silent when he felt the heartbeat that was getting faster.he thought, Is this the name that falls in love at first sight.
“Khmm..we both nolongin you.” said Abi with a ketus.
“Oh yes, thank you sir."
“Tudak problems. Why did you drown in the river?” Gavi said as he crossed both hands.
“A-I don't remember for sure. All I remember was riding a horse by the river, when my horse went berserk and walked uncontrollably. Until I bounced into the river and hit my head with a rock” explained the man.
“What's your name?” Gavin asked.
“Ah yes, my name is hard... I mean my name is Arya." Aryan Sahut.
“Ahhh” erang Arya when going to stand but saw his right leg is slightly swollen and purplish.
“Your leg seems to be hit by a rock, wake up I will take you to my tent and treat it.” Milo said as he put Arya's hand on his shoulder.
“No need Lo, I only bring him” said Abi while moving Arya's hand to his shoulder. It is clear that Abi is consumed by jealous flames.
Milo hissed annoyed.
“Oiya, my name is Milo. That's Gavi and this is Abi”.
“Alright Miss Milo, thank you for your help.” Arya said as she accompanied by a warm smile on Milo.
Arriving at the tent, it was already very late afternoon. Abi sat Arya beside the tent, while Milo rushed to pick up some turmeric powder that Paulo had given him.
“This is my only one that smolesin.” Say Abi while taking a packet of turmeric from Milo's hand.
Milo again could only snort in annoyance. What's with Abi, he's become very overprotective.
“Your hair color is good yes, golden brown is that. Rarely do I meet a citizen who has a hair color like you.” Milo was trying to find a topic.
Arya blushed again. Arya had often heard that praise from thousands of people before. But this time he was very happy.
“My father is brown, while my mother is blonde. Maybe that's what causes the color so like this” said Arya while smiling thinly.
“Where do you live?” ask Abi while applying turmeric roughly.
“Ahh please be a little slower, Abi. Or I just rub it.” Arya tried to grab the turmeric in Abi's hand.
“Yaudah tuh.” roughly Abi gives turmeric powder in her hands.
“I live not far from here anyway, only it looks like my horse is gone. So later I'll just go home on foot.” Arya said while applying turmeric on her feet.
Milo, Abi and Gavi look at each other. As if telepathically, they talked about Aryan status which was definitely not ordinary people. As far as their observations had been concerned, the people who had horses were only wealthy merchants and nobles.
“Actually where are you going or where?” ask Gavi who seems curious.
“I just met my sister, she lives in a village near here. I haven't seen him in a long time, so I miss him a lot.” Said Arya with a sparkling look.
The three companions just fell silent and nodded Arya's words. From his gaze alone it was seen that Arya was not wanting to discuss about it.
Too cool to talk, they do not realize that the day began to dissolve.
Hungry, the four of them roasted the fish and some yam that had been sought this afternoon after treating Arya's legs.
“It's night, sleep here. Tomorrow just continue the journey home.” said Milo.
“If you allow me, I'll be very grateful." Arya smiled awkwardly.
the plea was responded with a nod by Abi and Gavi.

“You know not. I once saved an old grandmother who was being thwarted by robbers, then one day the grandmother came to my house carrying her very beautiful grandson” said Arya broke the silence.
“The grandmother said, son, I brought you a gift, in return for helping me at that time. I was surprised, then I answered ah no need to bother with my grandmother I did not want to get married. Grandma's granddaughter is too young for me anyway. Hearing that the grandmother and granddaughter laughed out loud bahak” he added.
“Loh why are they laughing?” ask Milo
“It turns out that the gift that the grandmother will give is some fruits and vegetables that her grandson brought, not her grandson hahaha. I was so embarrassed at that time” explained Arya
“HAHAHA there's just you this”Abi, Gavi and Milo laughing loosely
“Oiya, if you are still here. Wait for me in 3 days, I'll be back here to see my brother. All of you I will give something as a sign of thank you” said Arya.
“We do not guarantee when it is still here, because we are only travelers who aspire to surround the mainland.” said Abi.
In fact, they have yet to reveal her true identity to Arya. Before they had talked and agreed to keep anything secret about them, their identity in the world today is only as a sedentary wanderer.
“Alright, but please, wait for me. At least we can say goodbye for the last time.” said Arya.
“Mil , can we talk for a minute? Follow me.”.
“What do you say? Here aja.” said Abi while pulling Milo's hand.
“Gapa Abi, Just a minute ko.” Milo said.
They walk ahead first.
“Mil, here you hold my ring, I will take it when we meet again.” Arya said as she thrust a gold ring with pink diamonds on it.
“Wahhh the ring is pretty bangettt, but why do you love this to me.”
“Honestly when I first woke up on the river bank, I immediately fell in love with you.”
“Hmmm..Then I apologize yes. I already love other men.” said Milo as he glanced back and looked at Gavi.
“It's okay, wear it first. You give your answer when we meet again.” said Arya while giving the ring to Milo.
“All right, guys, up here you guys take me. Thank you for your generosity, see you in 3 days.”, Arya said as she hugged and left to say goodbye.
“Iyaa..heart day on the road yes..dahh.” said Abi, Gavi, and Milo accompanied Arya's departure.
After Arya had walked far away and her shadow was already invisible, Gavi Abi and Milo rushed back to the tent. As usual on the way home they must have talked silly things. But this time the topic seems different.
“Wahh the ring is really cool until dipake keep”, said Abi who seemed upset.
“So Arya expressed her feelings, I only refuse because we just know” elak Milo.
“Kalo lo refuse, why Lo accept the ring, where it is made again” said Gavi
“Honey woi, ring nice gini. He also said use it first, later he wants to ask for answers again from me just back here” added Milo
“Ooooo yes princess..inget we are here only temporarily. Do not fall in love with people here will be hurt if you know will part” Abi increasingly burning jealous fire
“Yaelahh no relax aja” Milo said
As usual they are waiting for the arrival of Paulo to get information about the case of the disappearance of Nyimas Rarapati. That afternoon they roasted some corn and cut some papaya fruit obtained from the garden in front of Paulo's hut
It's been 3 days they haven't seen Paulo again, where he's been. Gavi Abi and Milo were a little worried
Suddenly a black pigeon perched on top of the tent. Abi who realized he was about to repel the bird, but he instead focused on the pigeon's feet which looked like there was paper bound there. He took the paper and opened it
“Gavi, Milo.
“What is it?” ask Milo
