Episode 17's

What a beautiful sight. If Sumita did not feel pain and itching all over her body, maybe she would have thought that she was currently in nirvana.

The waterfall really exists. The water came down from a high cliff and under it a lake whose water flowed into a small river. This made Sumita wonder inwardly, “Since when was there a lake here? Isn't this still near the lips of the forest? Why does no one know there is a lake here?”

Sumita walked closer to the lake. After drinking the lake water for a few sips, he looked for the woman who sang melodiously.

As soon as he looked and looked all over the lake, he finally found the woman. She's so beautiful and charming. The woman stood on the largest rock on the side of the lake. She was probably only two or three years older than Sumita. Her fine black hair was severed by the waist and her green dress fluttered together. His eyes on the lake looked sad. His blushing lips chanted a song of praise to the god as if asking for forgiveness for someone.

Sumita also ventured to approach the woman. When their distance was only five steps away, the woman suddenly stopped. He looked towards Sumita with a blank look.

“Ma, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.” Sumita immediately knelt down in front of the woman.

The woman in green dress then came down from the stone and touched Sumita's soft shoulder.

“It's okay. Precisely I have actually been waiting for nisanak.” The woman's words confused Sumita. What does it mean that he is waiting for her?

“Build. Introduce my name Kalya.” Followed the woman named Kalya.

Sumita woke up and looked at Kalya. The closer Sumita saw him, the more fascinated she became to Kalya. His name really reflects his appearance. No wonder Sumita thought that Kalya was a goddess or an angel of kahyangan.

“My name is Sumita.” Sumita also introduced herself timidly.

“Nisaak looks sick and weak. Allow me to help nisanak.” Tawar Kalya's.

“It's okay. I don't want to trouble nisanak.” Reject Sumita. But his weak body did not synergize with what he said. His balance dropped and made him fall.

Kalya smiled then shrugged Sumita's shoulders filled with pus and blood. Sumita's heart felt touched, because Kalya did not look disgusted by her at all. It is different from the villagers where he lives. In fact Sumita also felt disgusted at herself.

“Let's hands dirty if you hold me.” Sumita said embarrassedly.

“If it is dirty, yes stay washed. There is plenty of water.” Sahut Kalya who then sat Sumita on the rock.

“Wait a minute.” Kalya.

Kalya then left for a while and returned with some fruits in her hands.

“Eat. Nisanak should charge.” Kalya gave the fruit to Sumita.

“Thank you.”ucap Sumita.

Eat them one by one with the fruit greedily. He was starving. Not only because he was weak after severe physical torture, but also because he rarely ate well after his parents left him.

“Nisaak's wounds look so painful. Why not treat?” ask Kalya.

Sumita swallowed the fruit chew in her mouth, then replied, “I've had treatment, but it didn't work.”

Kalya stroked the head of the 15-year-old girl gently. I saw the pity from the eyes of the woman.

“Solve your meal first.” Said Kalya while continuing to stroke Sumita's head gently.

After the meal, Kalya delivered Sumita to the waterfall by the lake.

“Come.” Pinta Kalya's.

With doubt Sumita approached Kalya who had plunged into the lake that was not too deep.

“Nisanak needs to be aware that this is not the human world.” Kalya.

“But relax. Nisanak is not dead.” Say Kalya again.

“This is the world of the Gods that was descended from the sky. Only certain people can see it.” Kalya.

“Nisaak see the stone?” kalya's finger pointed at a rock beside the waterfall.

In plain sight, the stone looks ordinary. Like a stone, it is dark gray and medium-sized. But to Sumita's pretty special eyes, the stone gave off a mystical aura.

“If the nisanak turns the rock, this waterfall will lower the water that will heal the nisanak wound. Slowly, but rest assured. Less than a full moon, the skin will heal. So are the wounds on the body nisanak.” Kalya is convincing.

Sumita did not feel suspicious. After the kindness Kalya gave her, she was convinced that what Kalya said was true. He did not hesitate to get closer to the stone.

The stone slowly moved. It was indeed quite heavy, Sumita could only shift the stone a few centi meters away. But, it turned out that it was enough to make the speed of the waterfall turned slow. The water shrank and stopped.

Kalya showed her widest smile.

“Come to the edge first, Sumita!” take Kalya while pulling Sumita's arm.

Right after the two of them got to the edge, the water came back rushing down from the top of the cliff. So swift, if Kalya does not hold it, Sumita may be carried away by the flow of the waterfall.

From the waterfall, there was another scent that did not exist before Sumita shifted the stone. Aroma of orchid flowers. The scent was as fragrant as the entire forest. At first it did screech the nose, but for a long time the aroma thinned.

As soon as the water in the lake stabilized, Kalya knelt down facing the waterfall. His eyes were extremely twinkling as if what he was waiting for had finally come.

“Thank you, God! Thank you for granting me the request.” His word.

Sumita only watched him in surprise.

Kalya then stood back up and held Sumita's hand. This time she thanked him, “Thank you, Sumita. Thanks to you, the water in this lake is back to normal.”

Sumita did not know what she had done, but she was happy because it seemed like she had helped someone who was in trouble.

“Nah, Sumita. Now soak in this lake and wholeheartedly pray to the gods for Sumita to be freed from sickness. Come!” Kalya directed Sumita.

Slowly Sumita went back into the lake. He dipped his entire body from toe to toe in the lake. It felt quite itchy, even though his own body had itched before. But Sumita continued.

Sumita soaked in the lake while continuing to pray as suggested by Kalya. Up to a week later, the itching miraculously disappeared along with the condition of his skin that improved.

It was true what Kalya said. The water in the lake has a function to cure the disease he suffered. It's a miracle. Though all this time Sumita had been treated to dozens of healers and shamans, but no one managed to cure her.

From the day she was banished to the forest, Sumita never once returned to her village. No one was waiting for him there anymore. After all, if you go back to the village, maybe the residents will beat him again. So, he decided to live in the forest even though only roofed trees shady and land-based.

On the fifteenth day of Sumita soaking in the lake, someone came to her. Kalya shouldn't be there today, because Kalya said she'd be out of the woods to go to the city for half a day. But Sumita was sure there was someone nearby.

“Hay, Beautiful.”

A tall man in all-white clothes suddenly greeted Sumita. He stood right beside Sumita while leaning his shoulders on the cliff wall. Sumita who was not wearing a cloth at that time immediately shouted loudly,

“AAAAAAAAAAAKKKK!!”
