Voices From Other Realms

Burning grudge

Arum crying...

" Roman is not fair...."

She ran.not looking back. He did not care about the call of the two servants who were chasing him.

Arum hurt. He felt always in" anointed" by his Rome.

Arum ran far away leaving his two servants gasping for breath, they stopped chasing because of tiredness.

After running far enough away, Arum stopped and sat down on the side of the road.

He wiped away his tears, silent calm the rumbling in his heart. He thinks hard.

"I have to go to Kanda Bondo, I have to ask him if he agrees to his marriage to Anum, his brother" he whispered in his heart.

Arum immediately stood up, he wanted to find Raden Bondo his lover.

Raden Bondo was usually in his family's cornfield, watching over the workers who were farming the fields.

Arum turned his foot towards Raden Bondo at work.

By passing the familiar shortcut, Arum rushed half-run to meet Raden Bondo.

A short time later, from far away Arum had seen Raden Bondo sitting in a cottage on the edge of the field, while watching his workers.

"Kanda Bondo..," call Arum.

Raden Bondo turned his head, from his face he could not hide his astonishment seeing Arum coming to that place.

Raden Bondo immediately stood up to welcome Arum who came to him.

" Arum..why are you here? sit here" Raden Bondo took Arum to sit in the cabin.

Arum sat down and looked at the vast expanse of fields owned by the Raden Bondo family, he saw the farm workers were busy working.

Arum then turned to look at his lover who was looking at him confused.

Arum sighed before opening the conversation.

" sir...Arum wants to ask, do you know about the matchmaking of Bondo kanda arranged by Kanda's father with my brother Anum?"

Raden Bondo swallows his saliva.

" I'm sorry Arum.I already know," he replied in a soft voice.

"Then you take it?" Arum looked at his lover's eyes.

"My father has told me this, I have had time to reject it..," replied Raden Bondo with mixed feelings.

"Then will you accept?" arum's eyes began to glaze over.

" I've explained to my father Arum.that what I love is you are not Anum, I've said that we've been dating.but father does not want to hear it?"

" What's the reason? is it because I am not worthy? is it because Anum deserves to be your companion?" Arum started to get emotional.

" It's not that..."

" What's the reason?" asked Arum who started sobbing.

" Daddy says because we are the same as the firstborn, in the family we believe that if the firstborn is married to the firstborn then it will always be abundant in sustenance and offspring."

Arum bit his lip.he was very sick like he was pierced by thousands of needles.

"Then Kanda won't fight for me?"

"I'm sorry Arum.I'm guilty of you" Raden Bondo bowed.

" Did our relationship not mean anything to you?"

" I love you so much, Arum.really.but I can't possibly defy my father's will.please forgive me..."

" You evil kanda.I hate you." Arum cried.

"I'm sorry..I hope you can get a better man than I am Arum.I want you to be happy," Raden Bondo said softly.

"Arum..do not do that. please.forget our love story.please don't you swear me..," Raden Bondo said with a sly.

" I swear you will suffer.I swear you two will not be happy. I hate you." Arum shouted hysterically.

The workers all looked towards them, Arum did not care. He was very angry and hurt.

" Pacify yourself Arum.," Raden Bondo persuades the hysterical Arum.

Raden Bondo held Arum's hand, Arum immediately brushed it off.

"I hate you..really hate you.remember Kanda my words.You will live miserable with Anum, miserable until you will cry blood.remember that.ha.ha...," Arum can't control himself anymore.

Suddenly there was the sound of lightning striking in space.

Raden Bondo gasped. He looked towards the sky.

"Look.the ceiling supported me.." Arum laughed.

The love in his heart had instantly turned into hate.

In his heart had grown a burning grudge.

The sweet relationship that they had been living in an instant became the embers of revenge that was ready to become a time bomb later on.

Arum runs away from the Raden Bondo he once loved so much.

Raden Bondo rubbed the sweat droplets dripping from his forehead.

There was an unpleasant feeling infiltrating his heart.

" Arum is just an emotion.he doesn't really curse me," he said in his heart comforting his troubled heart.

Arum ran without direction, he had already lost to his brother Anum.

His heart ached and disappointed, there was no more love for Raden Bondo. All his love had turned into a burning grudge.

Arum wants to leave his home and life now.

He has no purpose. He has no one else. No one really loves him.

The mother who loved him is gone. His romance never loved him, even his brother Anum himself could hurt him. His lovers do not want to fight for their love.

All worked together to hurt him, then what he still gathered with the traitors.

Arum clenched his hands together, vowing to avenge his heartache.

He will not let those who hurt him live happily, they will live miserable lives. He swore....

His feet follow wherever his feet go, Arum just goes straight.

Her eyes were red, her pretty face turned pale. Arum was no longer crying, which seemed only anger visible from the look on his face.

I don't know how long he's been walking, he's trying to stifle his thirst.

He just wants to get away from the place of residence and the people who have made him hurt.

Arum saw from a distance, the wilderness was in front of his eyes.

Arum walked there, only that place became his present destination.

The forest is a "forbidden" forest for the surrounding community.

In addition to being very lush with trees and shrubs, the place has become a word of mouth story save many stories that are mystical.

From the story to a place of pleasure, the number of wild animals, as well as the residence of all invisible astral beings.

In addition to the long-running story, the forest became a place for people who embraced and learned black magic.

Arum had often heard stories about the forest, maybe in ordinary circumstances he would feel afraid to approach the forest.

But now, he was in a state of angry and vengeful emotions.

Arum hoped instead, in the forest he would meet "something" that he could make a tool to avenge in his heart.
