The Musafir
The Wira Drug Store
BECAUSE IF there really were other warriors here, they would have seen the movement of Mantingan bouncy on the roof. Then they will trace who Mantingan is following, and that is when the Angel of the North River is in danger.
With Mantingan disguised as someone else, not only he hid from the North River Angel but also from other warriors.
But if his disguise is revealed, then he and the Angel of the North River will be exhausted sooner or later.
Mantingan always hid behind the walls of the building when the North River Angel walked. He never appeared directly in the middle of the road, but moved from one building to another. If so, the chances of the Northern River Angel realizing its presence were small.
Because the market is empty of visitors, not many are suspicious of Mantingan. Those who were suspicious were only afraid that the Mantan would steal things in the store, but their suspicions did not last long because they saw the Mantan moving.
Far in front of him, the Northern River Angel was seen entering into the potion shop.
The mantle scrunched his forehead. Why did the Northern River Angel enter the drug store? Does he have wounds that have not healed? Mantingan was unsure, he had been following and watching the North River Angel all the time—except for certain moments, but he did not see the girl showing any symptoms of pain. Not in the least. That is what makes Mantingan feel the need to get closer to the North River Angel.
Mantingan devised a plan in a short period of time, then walked quickly towards the drugstore. After arriving in front of the store, Mantingan saw a large board that read “Tok Drug Wira” which is the name of the drugstore. After making sure there were no Trapping Throws around him, Mantingan stepped inside the store.
He looked around the whole room. He saw the North River Angel looking at him suspiciously, but Mantingan pretended to ignore him and returned to the treatment table.
About four steps to his right is the North River Angel.
“Welcome, Brother. Please wait a moment, Sahaya will speak to this Sister for a moment.” The middle-aged woman smiled warmly and said politely to Mantingan.
The mantan nodded and extended his hand to the side, welcoming.
“So, Sister, if only my ear had not been misheard, you say you have understood much about the science of medicine?”
The North River Angel cleared his throat several times before saying, “Not too much actually, Mother. However, the science of medicine that I mastered this comes from the northern plains ...”
Manten nodded in his mind, beginning to understand what was going on.
“Northern regions? If I don't guess wrong, you mean the Land of the Roof of Heaven?”
The North River Angel nodded. “True, Mother.”
“Wah, people like you are rarely here. Actually, this store is actually not too big and is not in need of new people. But receiving you doesn't matter.”
The eyes of the North River Angel radiated a radiance full of joy. It was rare for Mantingan to see his eyes like this, instantly feeling like he had failed to make the girl happy.
“But if I may know ...” After the parobaya woman said that, the eyes of the North River Angel seemed to be whipped entirely. Seeing that, the owner of Wira Drug Store immediately continued, “what makes you want to work in this place?”
The Northern River Angel immediately replied, “I want to continue the journey and return to the Jin Empire after the west monsoon wind ends, of course it requires money that not a few Mother.”
The rays of the face of the newly grown North River Angel are now dim again, anxious to hear the drug seller's question.
“I have the name Wiranti, just call it that. All I want to ask is your name. Who?”
The heart of the Northern River Angel was beating rapidly to the point that Mantingan could clearly hear it.
“Can I not mention my name?”
“Saudari, many black warriors who roam around and deceive parents like me, I cannot help but put my suspicions on you. Forgive me, but you have to say your name or get out of here.”
The North River Angel looked down for a moment and gulped. Mantingan wished the girl did not mention his name, even he had been on standby to poke the blood way of the Northern River Angel if he looked doubtful for a long time.
“My name is Sasmita, Ms.”
Mantingan late to launch his photo even though he has moved his hand. The North River Angel and Wiranti looked at Mantingan suspiciously. The mantle immediately acts as if justifying its tangled long sleeves.
There's something confused. Is the name Sasmita the original name of the North River Angel or just a pseudonym he made up?
“Sasmita sister, you are welcome here. So when can you start working?”
Sasmita or Angel of the North River quickly replied, “If you can, from today only, Mother."
“Can, can.” Wiranti nodded her head. “Do you have a place to stay here?”
This time it took quite a long time for the North River Angel to answer, “I have no place to live other than my place of residence in the Land of the Roof of the Sky.”
Wiranti's face changed. “How can? You came from the Land of the Roof of Heaven to here just to find work?”
Bidadari Sungai Utara immediately shook his head. “No, Mrs Wiranti. Actually I used to have a traveling companion who with his presence alone can make me feel in a comfortable house. But he decided to leave me for his pseudo-lover.”
The mantan coughed loudly several times after he choked on his own saliva. Wiranti and the Angel of the North River looked back at him in wonder. Luckily from the looks of it, the Northern River Angel did not recognize Mantingan's coughing voice. In fact, the sound of coughing was not made up, was his true voice.
Soon the Mantingan took a stance. “Mother Wira, when did this seriously ill me get treatment. Verily a malignant poison has spread throughout my body, if not treated immediately, I fear not having a long life.”
The sound that Mantingan let out back then was a sound that differed far from its original sound. The North River Angel did not stare at Mantingan as if he knew him, so the Mantingan stratagem could be considered successful.
Wiranti switched on Mantingan. “Pardon me who seems to have missed a long time idling prospective customers. If I did not hear wrong, you said a ferocious poison spread throughout your body?”
