The Musafir

Fly between Mega-Mega

MANTAN is still in place. Just like Chitra Anggini, he looked at the buffalo with a look of disbelief.

“Munding, how can you ...”

The buffalo took one or two steps forward. Putting something in his mouth. Mantingan saw that, finding five stalks of the Deathly Aroma Flower that were at first glance seen to be over two hundred years old.

Mantingan. Thinks. Seeking clarity in silence. After a while, he found a bright spot. He looked at Munding Caraka with a full day.

“Munding, thank you, but it looks like you have misunderstood.” The mantan received and stored the five stalks of the Death Scent Flower. “I really didn't know that you could fly, Munding.”

Yeah, correct. Just a moment ago, Munding Caraka did leave Mantingan, Chitra Anggini, and Kartika. However, he did not leave because of sulking or anger. He went to look for the Deathly Scent Flower as much as he could, hoping that Mantingan would take him on an adventure.

How Mantingan remembered that he was very happy when he received a sprig of Death Aroma Flower that Munding Caraka brought last night.

The moving mantan stroked the buffalo's head while laughing loosely.

“Of course you can take part in this adventure, as long as you can take us flying!”

“Ongng!”

TERRACE is awesome! That is what is described in Mantingan's mind at this time. Sitting on the wide back of Munding Caraka, then flying between mega-mega. Really, even in a dream something like this was never imagined by him!

Flying among the mega-mega, it's already incredible. But on the back of a small buffalo, it was incredible!

Mantingan really does not believe what he is going through now.

It is very different from Chitra Anggini who sits right behind him. Trembling. Looking up, timidly looking down. His entire body was drenched in sweat even though the wind continued to hit. No doubt, he was afraid of falling!

From the beginning, Chitra Anggini was reluctant to fly. Saying that's a bad idea. Find dead in a silly way. But he was perfect according to when Mantingan said he would leave him if he did not want to go up to Munding Caraka's back.

When above height, many times Chitra Anggini cussed. Makes the mantle wonder. Why is there a woman who can curse as much and as quickly as that?

When it has been right between the mega-mega, then Chitra Anggini perfectly stop the swearing. Started offering prayers to Gusti and batara deity. I wish there was no wind blowing on his body.

“Manting!” Chitra Anggini shouted out loudly, clearly including a deep energy in his voice. The wind is too loud.

“What's up?” The mantle turned, saying slowly, but with the energy included in.

“I'm afraid of falling!”

“How many times have you said that?”

“Let's just drop the height.” Chitra Anggini squeezes Munding Caraka's feathers that stretch up to a few feet in a stealth form.

“Do not. The warriors in the wilderness of martial will see us easily. This height must be maintained.” Manten shook his head. That was the reason why he asked Munding Caraka to fly among the clouds.

The mantel raised his eyebrows. Wonder. “You want to see the mainland scenery more clearly here, Chitra?”

“Not so.” Now it is Chitra Anggini who shakes his head. “If I'm behind, the wind can blow me to my body. But if I am ahead, even if the wind blows strong, there are still you who will hold me.”

The mantang nodded his head. He admitted that it was a good thought!

Then Mantingan patted Munding Caraka on the back. Ask him to fly a little slower. And without lingering, the Mantingan had flashed rapidly to the back of Chitra Anggini.

Knowing that Mantingan had been behind her, the young lady dragged her body forward one-two exasperatedly forward. Now the stunning and terrible scenery was completely spread wide in front of him. Let's just say Chitra Anggini shrieked in fear.

“This time is so bad, so bad!” His hand squeezed Munding Caraka's fur tightly. “This is too high!”

“Quiet!” The mantle patted his back. “I'm right behind you. You won't just fall, so calm down!”

Chitra Anggini shivered in horror before finally closing his eyes. Choose not to see anything presented in front of him. A beautiful sight that stretches out all over the eye? Very caring.

RAIN fell as hard as it could, forcing Mantingan, Chitra Anggini, and Munding Caraka to descend from the sky. The wind up there is so crazy!

After landing, Chitra Anggini jumped off Munding's back. Kneel down and kiss the ground. Never felt how valuable the land that he had been peeling.

Munding Caraka returned to his original form. Become a gray buffalo that is dirty and smelly. Immediately splash under a shady tree, avoiding the rain. It was obvious that he was quite exhausted.

While Mantingan looked around, even though all he found were trees with a little shrubbery. The road was to the west of the forest, a distance quite far from where it was at the moment.

The rain is getting heavier. A flash of lightning illuminated the gray sky. The body of the Mantang has been completely wet. And Chitra Anggini.

“Did you bring a tent?” Chitra Anggini asked while looking at him.

“No.” Manten. “Whatever it takes?”

“You still want to sleep comfortably even though it is raining like this, right?” The woman began to untie her bundle. “I only brought one, and this is for myself.”

The mantingan simply shrugged, letting Chitra Anggini pitch his tent on a flat patch of land. He felt he did not need to sleep comfortably. However, it is not the time to find comfort. Tapa Balian must be rescued as soon as possible.

“We will rest until midnight.” The mantel said slowly. It gets slower when the sound of rain backs it up.

“Why not until morning?” Chitra Anggini did not object at all to the decision of Mantingan. He had been doing many tasks that even required him not to sleep for up to a week. But wouldn't it matter if he asked?

The mantel just shook his head. Choosing not to convey the reason, that they rest only to recover Munding's energy. Had the buffalo not been exhausted, he would have asked them to continue their journey by land.

The safety of Tapa Balian is still not guaranteed at all. And the longer it takes, the more likely it is that the guarantee will vanish. No hope. Therefore, Mantingan wants to arrive quickly in Koying.
