The Musafir

Following the Love Affair

“To where have you been?”

When he saw Mantingan, Chitra Anggini quickly stepped in a hurry towards him. In the hallway of the second floor of the Night Gem Inn, while the day was so late as well. The woman's hand had expanded, but then the shut was pulled back. As if to hug Mantingan tightly, but then stop because knowing that the young man will not like it.

“I hunt stealth.” Mantingan stepped forward in front of Chitra Anggini, then without warning immediately embrace him in a warm embrace. How he felt he had been separated from Chitra Anggini for two months. “You miss me, dear fellow travelers?”

Chitra Anggini was a bit surprised, but then returned Mantingan's embrace warmly anyway. “You went too long.”

“If it's only two days, will it take you too long?” The coat took off his embrace. However, he still considers Chitra Anggini as a traveling companion, not his lover!

“Two full days you went, Mantingan. It felt so long for me to live in this crazy settlement. Especially after I found out that you went hunting for stealth. Really, you never said that before, Mantingan.” After saying so, Chitra Anggini looked at him sharply.

The mantle returned with a laugh. “Surely I didn't tell you. I thought you'd desperately hold me back then.”

“No, you're wrong. I won't hold you back, but I'll ask you to take me. Don't you remember that we are traveling companions, who are always going anywhere together?”

“Too dangerous. I can't protect you there.”

The speech of the Mantingan is not just nonsense that is not weightless. If you recall his fight with the Demon in the midst of a very powerful storm, can the decision of Mantingan by not inviting Chitra Anggini into question again?

Chitra Anggini only took a deep breath before shaking his head slowly. Choose not to worry about the past. “Yesterday, I met Dara at one of the luxury lodgings in Kotaraja. We formulate some plans ...”

Chitra Anggini then narrated his meeting with Dara as well as the plans that have been formulated but not yet agreed in the meeting.

According to his explanation, Dara asked Mantingan not to change his mind to follow the Kotaraja Love Event which will begin tomorrow. Although the girl openly showed dislike, but then she said that it was the only best plan there was for now. Dara has been approved to hold a large auction on the same day as the Kotaraja Love Event, even his request was very well received by the government.

Betis not? If two major events take place at once on the same day, it will add to the interest of tourists to visit the city. Moreover, Dara already has a big name in the eyes of trade as well as in the eyes of the whole community of Dwipantara.

However, there is a problem that is quite critical that can not be resolved ....

“Because it is only allowed to open the auction before or after the Love Event. That means, Dara is only allowed to hold an auction in the morning or evening, because the Love Event itself takes place between noon and evening for several days,” explained Chitra Anggini.

Dara then takes the decision to create an accident that will cause the auction to be delayed. Although it might bring new problems for the girl, but she was completely willing.

“He wants to sacrifice everything for you,” said Chitra Anggini gave an opinion, “ is very excessive.”

Manten exhaled a long breath while rubbing his face. He agrees with Chitra Anggini. Indeed, if Dara is too excessive to endanger her own safety only for a young man who almost never helped her at all.

The mantan felt that he was on his threshold. Even under these circumstances, a lump of rock could be considered a very soft mattress to bring it into endless dreams.

So in the end, Mantingan could only accept his current state. If Dara really wants to sacrifice sincerely, then with full respect he will accept it. However, he still hopes for the best for Dara.

***

Kotaraja Love Competition this time is very rare, because this event is only intended for warriors who want family life as it should be. Unlike usual which is only intended for nobles who are not warriors. It can be said, this is the first in the long history of Dwipantara.

Because this event is very rare, and there is a possibility that it will not be repeated in the future, many warriors who came from all over Dwipantara to Kotaraja Koying just to attend the Love Concert.

Coupled with curious lay people who want to see the warriors directly, then Kotaraja Koying on this day is really crowded and busy!

Mantingan and Chitra Anggini walked through the crowd wearing a pair of twin masks bought from street vendors. Interestingly, the mask only covers the forehead to the nose, so the mouth is left open to be able to talk while eating. Something that Mantingan had never encountered before.

As for Munding Caraka, forced Mantingan leave it in an animal care center. It pays very high so that the buffalo gets the best service from the best.

“It's too dangerous.” Chitra Anggini whispered softly right next to Mantingan's earlobe. “There are so many foreign warriors around us. I've never seen anything like this in my entire foot on a sidewalk. It is not impossible that anyone knows you here.”

“Not only are you feeling too nervous here. Look at the warriors around you, they are also very tense.” Small smiling coat.

“Absolutely I look nervous?” Chitra Anggini. The look in his eyes seemed to be unacceptable when he shone on Mantingan.

“Must admit: yes. You look very nervous. I guess, it is precisely you who will provoke the suspicions of the people.”

“Lantas what should I do? I can't take this vigilance for granted.”

Mantingan glanced at Chitra Anggini for a while before extending one of his hands to the side. “By hand,” answer.

“That would make me even more nervous. This hand of mine is hardly ever touched by men, except in the times when I—”

Chitra Anggini's speech was interrupted when Mantingan was breathing his arm without permission. Indeed the girl wanted to immediately pull back her arm, but then when she felt an energy just shoot into her body through the hands of Mantingan, then stop her rebelling.

Mantingan just smiled broadly without feeling the need to explain anything to Chitra Anggini. He deliberately breathed the arm of the beautiful woman when he had begun to discuss his past which was not at all pleasant to hear or remember. And it is true that the warm feeling that Chitra Anggini feels comes from his prana energy that is flowed through the hands.

In addition to being able to heal internal wounds as well as external wounds, pranic energy is also able to bring a person into complete peace!
