"uhhh" youh Alara when she woke up.
"have you woken up, employer?" asked Kai beside her.
"what happened to me Kai? why is my body so limp? it feels like your body is not powered" said Alara.
"emm that, yesterday the employer went berserk" he replied.
"what? rampage? ... Why can it?" tanyanya panic.
"it looks like the employer lost control a few months ago"
"astaga, did I hurt anyone? where's Duwan?" tanyanya.
"nobody was hurt, Duwan was talking to the employer's father"
"dad? ahhh I remember talking to that brengs*k guy before" he said sighing.
"isn't that too harsh to say to a father?"
"tchh I don't have a father for what I'm talking to him politely" he said.
"ahh Kai you're hurt?" alara said when she noticed the blood on Kai's fur.
"don't worry about the employer, it's just a small wound and it's healed" he replied.
"this must be me?"
"no, it's just my fault"
"that's it, but what are the two men talking about?" said curious.
"i don't know, the employer will ask" replied Kai.
Alara sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, she focused her mind on gathering the energy of nature, all this while since her special ability awakened unconsciously she was able to absorb the energy of nature.
Natural energy is an energy that comes directly from nature, energy that is scattered throughout the world with countless numbers, only not everyone can have the ability to collect natural energy like it.
After an hour later Duwan returned with Rangga, the young man then burned the deer that came here Kai got, Rangga sat far away and did not dare to approach Alara.
Kai himself immediately approached Duwan and could not wait to get a ration of food, first while living in the fog forest Kai always ate raw meat, but after being with Alara the tiger actually changed to follow the taste of Alara, she so prefer to eat grilled meat.
A piece of wind that hit Alara's body made the girl's hair flutter, Duwan always could not escape the charm of the girl.
"heh, the meat will be burnt" said Kai as Duwan continued to look at Alara.
"hhh almost" he said.
Rangga who was watching from afar just smiled, the young man who accompanied his daughter was indeed a careless young man who could not even protect himself, he said, but his attitude is more mature and good at cuddling Alara who incidentally has a hard character like him.
"at least you have someone worthy next to you" murmured Rangga.
"what do you mean?" asked Alara who had arrived already nearby.
"when have you been here?" tanyanya's confused.
"does that matter?"
"no" she says.
"you still owe me" said the girl.
"debt?"
"you haven't answered my question yesterday" he said.
"ohh that, I'm not even sure you can take an answer from me" he said hesitantly.
"heh .. At least you tried to convince your one-one daughter, tchh base" he said.
"is the princess hungry?" duwan asked as Alara approached him.
"hmm feed me"
"let's all sit down sweet, let me share a delicious meal today" Duwan said " hey sir! you're here too" Duwan exclaimed at Rangga.
The four of them were together on the tree that Alara had fallen yesterday, they continued to eat without caring about Duwan's incessant chatter.
Rangga sat next to Alara with an awkward feeling, obviously the man felt very guilty for his daughter.
"i know I'm pretty, but stop glancing at me that way" Alara said.
"uhuk uhukk" Rangga choked on hearing that.
"m-sorry" he said.
"yeah sir, may I know why you're drifting in the river?" asked Duwan curiously.
"emm that .. I fought with a bunch of senseless werewolves and I was seriously injured, when I tried to escape I actually fell into the river" replied Rangga clumsy.
"wolf has no sense? don't tell me that for a dozen years it disappeared.."
"after your mother's death I wandered after the senseless wolves, whether you believe it or not but that's what I did" Rangga replied.
"uh uh? why would you do that?" ask Alara.
"why do you think? as a man who had failed to look after his woman, I tried to run away from my responsibilities as a father in this way, I hunted down that small group of wolves in hopes of reducing their numbers" reply Rangga.
"that night when you were born we were surrounded by a group of senseless wolves, I asked your mother to run away by trying to drive away the wolves, I knew your mother's condition was very weak at that time, but the throat is so strong, the time where you found the old man I was also not far from you, when I heard the sound of your cry I was very happy, I was very happy, I know your mother was alive.
At first I intended to take you and your mother to a forest of fog, but some time after your mother died, as a man I really felt like a failure, I promised to always protect her, I promised to always protect her, but the fact is I failed miserably.
When the old man buried your mother I sneaked into his house, I saw you who was still in red sleeping soundly with a very peaceful face, I was angry and I was also very upset.
How could the baby sleep with such a peaceful face? while my wife died protecting her, I really thought because of you my wife had to die, and I intended to eliminate you that day.
But the old man came without me noticing, I was shocked to find out he was behind me, but the old man just kept quiet and kept looking at me, I was confused and didn't understand why he just kept quiet when I found out I was trying to kill you, but when I came back to see you, the foul thoughts just disappeared.
And the old man laughed out loud, and I did not understand him any more, but suddenly he said, "will you destroy what is dead in your wife's defense?"
Like someone who had just come to terms with my evil influence was crying hysterically, how could I kill you? how could I have made that mistake?
The grandfather took the cloth that was on your body, he slashed your hand and let your blood flow on the cloth, at first I thought the grandfather did it with a malicious intention, he said, but he handed me the cloth and asked me to leave.
At first I didn't understand the point, but I immediately realized when he gave me a sword, he did it so that I would outwit the senseless wolves, he wanted me to leave with the scent of your blood so that the wolf would not approach you" he said at length.
"so grandpa met you?" ask Alara.
"not only did he meet, but he almost killed me" he replied.
"kill? meanin?"
"when he shut up and looked at me he was ready to eliminate me if I still wanted to kill you"
"but why did Grandpa say he didn't know anything about you?" ask Alara curiously.
"it's all my request, I don't want you to know that I'm alive" he said.
"why?"
"because I'm afraid of you"
"i still don't understand, tell me the obvious"
"you will find it difficult to understand, you will not know how someone who has failed to protect something he loves" he replied.
"that's why you have to tell me" he said, starting to get upset.
"i love your mother very much, she is the only woman who fills the emptiness of my heart, I promise myself I will protect her with my own life, but when the failure came I felt very guilty, but instead I overflowed the guilt on you, I was ashamed very embarrassed, so foolishly I gave my guilt to you.
Because of the shame that I do not dare to be near you, I have once failed to take care of someone who I love so much, if I was beside me then this heart will again feel love, love, but I was too afraid if the failure came again, so I asked the grandfather not to say anything about me" he explained again.
"so actually you love me a lot but you're also afraid of me, aren't you?" alara.
"may be said so"
"hmm so, but still I can't understand" he said again.
"i will not ask you to understand because I can not explain it" said Rangga lirih.
"Fra! The master! you guys love each other but you two are stupid" Duwan said.
"ehhh meaning?" asked Rangga and Ara simultaneously.
"uhh you are just a pair of fathers and sons who do not want to depend on each other, Ara misses you and desperately wants to meet you, but as time goes by the longing turns into an anger, and you are Master! you also love Ara very much but your fear prevents you from channeling your love to her, the point is that you both love each other the same but you try to resist that feeling so as not to grow in your heart" obviously Duwan long.
"prok prok prrok" Rangga and Alara applauded together.
"why are you applauding?" duwan asked confusedly.
"because you are great" replied Rangga.
"because I want to" replied Alara.
"do you understand what I'm saying?" snapped Duwan.
"understand" both answered.
"uhh you dare to yell at me?" alara.
"that's it..."
"plaak .. how dare" Alara said after hitting Duwan.
"huaaaa pardon madamaa pardon tuan putriii servant salaaah" Duwan said.
"mrs? princess master? bwaha hahahaa funny thing" Alara laughed.
"hhhh you're laughing at me?" ask Duwan.
"hahahaa ohhhh you, thank you well" said Alara.
"for?"
"hahhhh you are sometimes smart but sometimes stupid, of course I say thank you for helping us both" said Alara.
"yes, thank you for mediating our problems" said Rangga.
"heh even so I still have not forgiven you" said Alara.
"o ohh so yeah?" rangga said bikuk.
