The Thousand Mask Warrior

Bound

Sasangka feels the comfort of trading. He has got customers, colleagues, and guarantees of smooth trading. Not only did he work with the Chinese, Javanese and Malays in Malacca, Sasangka even opened up the possibility of business relations with the Siamese. In short, some time in Malacca proves that he is increasingly adept at trading. Babah Lau and Lau Siufan would definitely be proud of him. In two days, Sasangka will sail back to Betawi to give this good news. If Walanda will really hit Pranggi Malacca within the next year, then he and Babah Lau will still benefit, even greater.

He should have been going home sailing back until he accidentally saw a figure he seemed to know was walking in the port area.

He saw Narendra. His friend whom he had known for a long time.

But he's not so sure. Not why. First, what was Narendra's goal all the way here? Did he go back to work on the cruise? This reason can be more doubtful. Second, Sasangka understands that Narendra now only has Katilapan as a companion to his father. However, Sasangka did not see that person. He had taken too long to try to forget and not think about them.

So he left the port to Sabba where he now lives. In two days he will be home.

Siufan's pretty face was already looming in his eyes. He really wanted to get back into the Chinese woman's arms.

But Sasangka's desire and plan suddenly collapsed. Clearly he then also saw Katilapan walking from the harbor. His body is full of rajah even though it is covered in Malay long clothes though. Not to mention the large and ginunting giwang tucked in his waist.

"That's right Narendra I saw earlier. Does that mean Jayaseta is here?" ask her in your heart. There was a strange rumble inside his chest. Revenge, anger, disappointment and nothing else. To be clear, Sasangka felt he had to find out what their business was here, and really Jayaseta was also in Malacca.

Fong Pak Laoya, Yu and Pratiwi have started their journey. Pratiwi is back in men's clothing. Her tiny body was wrapped in Javanese and Malay-style clothing to obscure people's attention on the trip. Moreover, his thick and tall headband. Yu and Fong Pak Laoya argued that without wearing special clothes, Pratiwi would not be too concerned. People will think that he is just a helper of two Chinese people who obviously do not need to disguise because their facial image is not possible to deceive others.

Yu and Fong Pak Laoya wore Chinese clothes that had mingled and influenced the culture of the archipelago. Pratiwi, the native aide, goes with them in the back, almost always hidden. A jung is ready to leave tomorrow berender in the port of Sukadana.

Life was indeed increasingly challenging, especially for Yu who had to travel far once again, and this trip could be said to be dangerous. Pratiwi may have been a female warrior who had eaten salt acid battle after battle, but not in her present weak and crummy state. It doesn't take a great warrior to defeat or kill him. Even ordinary robbers might make it difficult and put him in danger.

But, life also brought happiness to Yu. Last night, before falling asleep, Pratiwi whispered these words, "Yu, you should take care of me. You are my husband. Protecting me with your life. And as a wife, that's what I'm gonna do."

The manner of saying those words was indeed cold and tended to be cruel, but it was only the way a female swordsman spoke. But the meaning in those words clearly showed a feeling that Yu was earnest and wanted. Pratiwi is honest that she is already attached to Yu who is now her husband. The responsibility is not only from him, but Pratiwi has clearly said that he will also do the same to Yu.

Happiness rose up inside Yu's chest. Without being asked, he would do anything for his wife. Pratiwi even let his body be cuddled in sleep by Yu.
