The Musafir
The Thousand Cup Store
WHEN Mantingan was still pensive that the mother of the owner of the store again said, “If you still do not understand it, then I must say that it is the way women work for the man she really loves. No matter whether his love will be reciprocated or not, but they will still sacrifice their entire life so that there is nothing left to give to themselves. They will feel nobler living in sacrifice, rather than keeping silent to see the beloved man labor desperately.”
Isn't that what happened between her and Dara? Didn't she sacrifice her whole life for Mantingan, the only man she truly loved?
“Sacrifice of women, if you can do not reject it. It will hurt our feelings more if we have hurt to sacrifice, but instead accept rejection. Please welcome well and with gratitude. There is no need to give excessive compassion. Women also want to show their pride in front of men.”
The mantel raised his face slightly. The owner of the shop looked back at him intently.
“What's wrong with your face?” continue the woman again. “You have the same problem?”
The mantle just nodded. He chooses to be honest, though not necessarily openly.
“Kedaiku this is kind of lucky.” The owner of the shop laughed softly. “Always come heartbroken people in a time that is not far apart. I can share my story with you. But you are completely different, Young man.” Stared Mantingan with as close as possible. “Only you who did not bid on my body. Lucky for you, because anyone who dares to bid me always dies a blink of an eye after finishing his speech.”
The mantan simply smiled without responding any further. Whether the woman was about to threaten him or just scare him, but Mantingan did not feel any jolt in his mind.
He lifted the teacup before vertical the contents until it ran out, that's when he heard the sound of footsteps down the stairs that really can Mantingan know very well came from Chitra Anggini, then immediately he turned his head.
Through the gaze of the eyes, the woman asked Mantingan to get out of the tavern as quickly as possible, which was immediately understood by the young man that there had been an uproar that Chitra Anggini could not tell here.
But when he was just about to lift the body from his stool, but only the mother of the owner of the store said, “You do not need to go anywhere when aiming at the Thousand Cups Store.”
Chitra Anggini widened his eyes, then quickly approached Mantingan and the shop owner's mother.
“This Is a Thousand Cup Store?” ask Chitra Anggini.
“Not wrong, you came to the right place.”
“But ... how can?”
“One coincidence that seems like no coincidence, right?” The shop owner's mother raised her eyebrows while smiling widely. “You go back to the room. We should only be able to talk at a predetermined time.” The female's eyes glanced back at Mantingan. “Ya .. unless this young man still wants to express a little of his heart ...”
“No.” Smiling coat. “Thank you for being willing to tell me.”
Of course Mantingan assume that the mother of the owner of the tavern told him, and not the other way around. He immediately got up from his seat and walked with Chitra Anggini to his rented room on the second floor.

“These letters I have read successfully,” said Chitra Anggini while showing a sheet of ejection secretly given by a mysterious person at Dara's auction. “Do I read or write?”
Mantingan replied, “Please read it.”
“You sure no one eavesdropped?”
“Can't we always talk without making a sound?”
Chitra Anggini nodded before looking at Mantingan fixed, which could be conveyed the contents of the letter in the language and beraksara password.

“It has become clear that only you are allowed,” Chitra Anggini said later. “What should I do now?”
Mantingan was silent for a while to think, before finally saying, “Go to Kotaraja Slum Settlement and share the food. I will bring in a very large amount of meat, people there will fight to death for food if no one can manage the situation.”
“Meats?”
“Yes. The meat I got from the results of hunting stealth a few days ago.”
“Where did you save it?”
To that question, Mantingan did not answer, but merely smiled faintly. He felt better to show directly to Chitra Anggini, for that he said, “We go now anyway, I will show you something.”
“Can we arrive on time?” Chitra Anggini asked.
“It should be so.” Mantingan glanced out the window, if it still took a drink of tea again until the sun completely sunk.

“I didn't expect to be back again to this rotten place.” CHITRA Anggini said with a bad face. I don't know if his words were meant for complaint or insult.
Sure enough, they were currently right in the courtyard of the Night Gem Inn, the inn they had rented for the past few days before leaving because they had to follow the Love Event.
“If you leave the meat in this place in a state that is still not smoked, then surely at this time it is not worth eating, it would be better if they eat the bodies of his friends only.”
“What are you talking about, Chitra?” The mantle shook slowly. Not understanding what kind of thing made the words that the woman was saying so very spicy. “This stealthy meat I've obtained won't be able to rot unless it's digested. I have tried it myself, and it tastes quite delicious—”
“Tak need to mince words again,” cut Chitra Anggini. “Can you show the presence of stealth meat that cannot rot unless it is digested? Let me finish this work before the night is really late, and however you must also return to the Thousand Cup Inn before the sun sets.”
“I still need certainty from you, about whether you can hold back a sea of people without hurting let alone to kill them?”
“Why is that?” Chitra Anggini asked back. Now his face looked more serious.
“Because you will experience such a thing,” Reply Mantingan, before he again asked, “how?”
“I have some moves to do that, but I do not guarantee that it will not hurt anyone,” said Chitra Anggini, who really can Mantingan feel his honesty.
“Alright, it is not a problem to hurt some people if it is really forced. Now you back off a little.”
Chitra Anggini according to him, although he really did not know what the young man wanted to do.
The mantan walked over slightly to place itself in the center of the inn courtyard, before stretching out its left arm. Of course, his right arm cannot be used for any style, because it is just a wooden arm that is not connected to the circulation of the chakras.
Right after that, Chitra Anggini bought her eyes for the sake of seeing the shocking scene right before her!
