The Musafir
Arkawidya
The two of them descended down through the stairs and through the hallways which on either side were the doors of the rooms. Silence and darkness are clearly depicted in this place, or is it deliberately designed in such a way as to be able to absorb all sounds so inaudible that they come out? In fact, the clattering of Mantingan and Rara's steps seemed to be absorbed by the floor until they only heard the friction of the cloth.
Less lighting with a red hallway like increasingly explaining something. Wrong mantle entered the place!
“Rara, forgive me for seeming to have taken you to a place like this, I really don't know ...”
Rara turned to Mantingan with a face that was very difficult to say. “I .. I thought you knew it from the beginning and even deliberately went to this inn to hire women, but I really thought it was bad for you.” Rara smiled wryly. “I should beg your forgiveness, Mantingan, I should not be prejudiced against you, and as soon as possible announce that an inn like this is the nesting place of flowers.”
Mantingan let out a long sigh, the times Rara actually did wrong, but there was no harm in being accepted her apology. All affairs became complicated, especially the reception woman asked herself to be hired. Arkawidya, that's his name, from the look on his face clearly that he asked for help. More than just asking to be hired for money.
The coat doesn't mind helping. He can hire Arkawidya, and she will say whatever help she needs. They can also hold negotiations in their rental rooms.
Mantingan felt that this place was the source of his disobedience, anyone who was about to return to the bright path had to be immediately expelled from this place before the lick of the flames of disobedience burned him down.
Mantingan managed to find the room ordered by him, he opened the door and immediately re-locked it after himself and Rara had entered inside.
How the mantel became surprised. This room is completely devoted to flowers. There is a wide bed decorated with red mosquito nets in the middle of the room. With lamps on each side of the room. There are also some special leaves that are burned in the corner of the room, issuing a fragrant smoke that should be watched out.
“Wait here and hold my wand for cover in case something happens,” Mantingan said as he removed the bundle and from his body, except for the coffers containing the puck of money.
“I already have a dagger that is more useful than a stick,” replied Rara vigilantly.
The mantingan stopped for a moment its movement. “Where did you get that dagger from?”
“Presentation in inn.”
The mantle patted his forehead. “What are all the things in the inn you took, Rara?”
“Not everyone, I told you earlier. All I brought was what was needed.”
It is appropriate if the contents of Rara's bundle are large, whether there are any other items that he managed to bring from the inn in Cikahuripan. But there was not enough time to take issue with it, the Mantin needed to meet Arkawidya and execute his plan as quickly as possible.
The plan itself is actually not very good because it is made in a very short time, but the plan is quite simple, where he will pretend as a guest who has just joined the world of flowers, the flower, and so innocently asked Arkawidya to come to his room to teach him "something". As long as he was able to show the gold pieces, then the inn would allow Arkawidya to be hired.
“Forgive yourself, I'll be back as soon as.”
“Wait! Where do I go?”
“I'll go upstairs and see Arkawidya, the reception lady, you heard it yourself right?”
“Ap— ... do you really want to rent those flowers?” Rara took a few steps back with a face of disbelief.
Mantingan clucked. “No, Rara .. I saw Arkawidya in need of help and I felt obliged to help him.”
Lost was already a look of disbelief on Rara's face. The girl seemed to think for a moment. Considering conditions. Then he said, “Mantingan, do not get involved with unnecessary problems. Just get here, or you'll just add enemies.”
“Rara, I saw that Arkawidya really needed help. Please don't hold me back from being a good human being.” The mantang said firmly.
Mantingan nodded and opened the room door before Rara locked it from the inside.

“Revelation, Handsome Cricket, You're back.”
Mantingan smiled at a glance, now he was right in front of the reception table. “I want to rent you, come to my room right now. I want to learn.”
“Can't you order me here, Handsome Crickets, go upstairs and meet the clerk there, just say my name, he'll understand right away.”
The mantle nodded slowly. “My name is Mantingan, call me by that name from now on. And prepare yourself.”
Mantingan passed up the stairs to the top floor. Arriving there, there is a long table similar to the reception table on the lower floor. However, the table had a special stripe of his body script. Mantingan felt that it was a place where he could hire Arkawidya, so stepped himself there. Immediately greeted with a woman with makeup that was almost similar to Arkawidya, the difference is that the woman served him lazily.
“Who will you order will determine the price,” he said without making small talk.
So Mantingan there is no reason to mince words anyway, he immediately said to the point.
“Arkawidya.”
“Five pieces of gold, you can have it until tomorrow afternoon.”
The mantan swallowed his saliva. If he had to take out five pieces of gold to rent Arkawidya, then the money would only be about 14 pieces of gold left. But no matter what, the money problem he can find later, someone must be saved first. So the coffers contained pieces of money and immediately put five gold pieces on the table.
“Padalaan there is much prettier and smoother than that village girl.” While sneering, the woman pulled out a piece of palm that read Arkawidya's name. “Give it to him, it is the same as an absolute order for him to serve you. Report to us if he refuses.”
The mantle grabbed the ejection and passed away without bothering the woman's words. Soon he found Arkawidya downstairs, showing him the thrower.
“Alright, wait a minute.” The young lady went briefly to one of the rooms and came back with a friend who would replace her at the guest table. “Where will you take me, Mr Handsome Crickets?”
“Of course to my room, let's follow daku.” The mantan started walking towards the stairs, Arkawidya suddenly ran over.
“For no one to suspect, you must embrace me,” his whisper is right Mantingan.
“I can't do that!” Mantingan whispered, but gave the emphasis to affirm that he did not want to do such a despicable thing! You could say, he never hugged another woman besides his mother!
“Some are watching us, quickly hug me or I will do something you would never expect!”
The mantle scoured around before embracing Arkawidya's shoulders. There was someone watching him, Mantingan could not see the figure of the person who was monitoring him, but he could feel a sharp gaze watching over him and Arkawidya.
Arkawidya leaned his head on Mantingan's shoulder with a seductive smile, slowly he whispered, “Keep doing this until we arrive your room.”
There's something strange. That is when Mantingan had managed to go down the stairs and was one floor below the floor where the person watching him was, but Mantingan still felt supervised. There was even an aura that indirectly hit him to make it difficult for the airway. Mantingan follows Arkawidya's advice, he will continue to embrace the young girl until they enter her room.
