The Musafir

The Miss that Paid

MANTAN was standing right in front of the door that he had once known. That is the door of the rented room Bidadari Sungai Utara located on the top floor of the Red Claw Inn. Hope as well as anxiety make him stay glued and silent like a statue of a statue in that place. Swaying at all, not moving even a little.

The atmosphere in the hallway remained silent, no traffic from other guests. The mantan can even hear the roar of his own breath which is a little rushed.

What would he have to say for the first time if the Northern River Angel was actually inside that room?

Should he just tell you all his unspoken feelings when they parted ways in the north sea of Javadvipa months ago? The mantan sighed softly. It turned out that it was only until the count of months of their separation, even though his feelings had been surpassed for decades.

However, if the person in the room was not the North River Angel, would he bear the disappointment? The longer mantle exhales fretting. He should have been used to bearing disappointments, so why should he be afraid to bear expectations at this time?

The mantle began to raise his right arm made of that wood. Prepare to knock on the door. However, his movements were completely restrained to just there. When he was about to knock the door because hope soared, but only anxiety forced him to pull back the fist. His hopes and anxieties continued to clash with balanced strength, when suddenly the door leaf before him let out a creaking sound while opening slowly.

A pair of beautiful eyes peeked out from behind that door. His gaze was very sharp, so sharp, as if to match the sharpness of all the mestika weapons that could penetrate any kind of thing, but for the sake of seeing the figure of the young man standing before the door, instantly all the sharpness of his eyes was gone without a trace.

Then the door opened wide, without a doubt. Seen a girl like a celestial angel with an unspeakable beauty stood pecking with a face of disbelief. Shaking his whole body.

Also, all the anxiety in Mantingan when he saw the girl. When all his hopes have been fulfilled, then what else is there to worry about?

Thus, without will and like just being driven by instinct alone, he darted to hold the girl in a very tight embrace, really tight, very tight, maybe even too tight. Although he really knew very well that the North River Angel had married another person who must not be him, but his body and mind seemed to have a separate will.

The Angel of the North River did not hold himself anymore. He had long longed for Mantingan, day and night without stopping, let the sun and moon testify if possible. Although they only counted a few full moons they separated, but the woman felt it like hundreds of years. And the embrace of Mantingan, too tightly, so tightly, so tightly, like no other embrace can be so strong!

“Sasmita!”

“Manting!”

That's how they hugged each other without paying the slightest attention to anything other than the hug itself, so that's how they accidentally fell on the bed.

The hand of the Northern River Angel gently put away the caping that covered Mantingan's face with her being right above the young man's body. He found a face that he always missed, which is certainly not the face of prince Fu-nan her husband, but the face of Mantingan her love.

Heart rate Mantingan getting stronger. The long hair of the North River Angel was broken down to crucify her face like a waterfall that spilled over, so that even dimly she could see the appearance of a woman's face that had incomparable beauty.

“Do not, Sasmita. You don't belong to me.” The mantel tried to dodge as the face got closer.

However, the longing that has reached the crown is no longer negotiable. The North River Angel did not heed the young man's warning at all, even more violently. Mantingan finally let himself become completely lulled, unlike when he was with Chitra Anggini at the palace at that time, because now he did it with the woman he really loved!

So it happened as it should have happened, unbearable desire, the peak was when Mantingan sent a wave of the wind to close the door.

***

THAT EVENING. Mantingan flipped his body and found the Northern River Angel was sealed right beside him. He then commented a light smile, as all the burden he was carrying evaporated away. There were strands of hair covering the girl's clean face. The lighter the smile.

The Northern River Angel squirmed for a while before opening her eyes slowly. Demi realized how Mantingan was looking at her, she smiled warmly and clasped tightly the young man's hand on her cheek.

“Thank you,” said the girl later.

“For everything.” The Northern River Angel stared right in the young man's eyes. “Especially for your presence here.”

“You should be back soon, Sasmita.” The mantans were reluctant to spoil the atmosphere, but he felt it was no good if they continued to lulled up like this. The martial world is not a place where one can allow oneself to be lulled into neglect.

“I don't want.” The North River Angel replied, still sounding very soft. “But I know how much my wish should not be fulfilled.”

The mantel took a long breath. He never wanted to part with the North River Angel, his Sasmita, his love, but could all his wishes be fulfilled?

“How are Kana and Kina?” tanya Mantingan then, diverted the conversation.

“I'm sure they're okay right now. Kana went to the Capital of the Jin Empire, Jiankang, to study the literary arts. In a moment, the boy will definitely become a leading scholar. While Kina prefers to spend her time learning archery and riding horses.”

Mantingan widened his smile, although he was mistaken to think that the capital of the Jin Dynasty in the Sky Roof Country was Chang An, who was the, because he got such information from a book that has been made almost a century ago, so it is possible that at this time the capital of the House of Jin has been moved to the city called Jiankang.

“You take care of them very well, Sasmita.”

“But it will never be the best without your presence,” Ogre of North River. “When can we get back together?”

“You knew such a thing would never be possible again.” The mantelan did not know what else to say besides that.

The Northern River Angel took a long breath. “The only thing I want now is to stay with you, Kana, and Kina in the Wind Bell Village. Fun-an Palace is very large it became the most crowded prison for me. I was constrained to all sorts of crazy rules there, so often I no longer felt myself as a human being. Only at the time with Kana and Kina that I can return to feel the warmth as well as a little treat the longing for you.”

The woman added that they had written many letters to Mantingan, but did not know what to send them through and where. Of course the consideration is that Mantingan always wanders, moving from one place to another always. After all, the east wind had not yet ended, they had to wait for the west wind to be able to bring the mail-sending ship to Javadvipa and Suvarnadvipa.

“Mantingan, Kiai Kedai thing ..” The North River Angel looked like this to tell something about the old man, but was worried that it would only bring Mantingan back to his grief.

“Tell me everything, Sasmita.” The mantel stared at the girl steadily. He had escaped from the fall due to the death of Kiai Kedai, because his teacher also often said that it was not impossible for him to die later, killed in the day, and if it happens then as much as possible Mantingan do not fall into a slump.

Isn't death in the martial world something that doesn't even need to be discussed?

“The Shop has actually met me at Fun-an. He said that something was very threatening to me and him, so Kiai Kedai decided to go to Fun-an to escape while taking care of myself. However, our meeting did not last too long, he immediately left after saying what he needed to say, no pleasantries. I felt like he was being threatened at the time.”

Mantingan soon understood that it was very possible that Kiai Kedai was in pursuit of warriors-blooming messenger Koying at the time, so he quickly fled from Javadvipa. Fun-an becomes the best choice he has, because only there can he hide while protecting the North River Angel.

“But in the end, we still got caught. The strength of the enemy is too great, and their tactics are very cunning. These people treated me well, but it was not so with the Kiai Kedai. Mantingan, I guess for this I dare not tell it ...”
