WHITE DEVIL

38 Full Flowers

Six years passed. Rakattan and Arif villages have undergone many changes.

Returning from the Dream Forest, Arif realized how important his position as a successor to Die Hyang and the many threats that will come in the future. In order to overcome it, Arif also learned martial arts.

Indeed most of Die Hyang movement is martial but still without an Arif teacher will not succeed. Neither can Haz teach much, he knows very little. Thus began the search for a martial arts teacher that boils down to Mr. Wira.

He is a great adventurer, a responsible fighter, and the worst father. In Arif's eyes. At the first meeting Arif immediately knew why his son was often rude. However, inevitably Arif had to hold back and accept it. It's for the best.

Pala and Eloquent wander away from the village. Pala has built a family, the latest news is that even her fourth son has just been born. The Pala family must be very crowded.

Meanwhile, Fluent chose to sharpen his brain. He voted for his fate by entering the academy with the best accreditation.

Pandawa Academy, so eloquently called it. His rivals were people from all over the country in the class of nobles and princes. For a commoner such as the Eloquent entrance to the Pandawa Academy was almost impossible.

The good news is he was accepted there. Amazingly, fluent became one of the best students.

Bara and Faga chose the path. Both men signed up for an organization called the Sun Protection Force. Arif does not know the details of the organization, which Arif knows the organization has military duties. Saving people and performing various heroic tasks.

Arif knows a little from grandma. He is also a former member of the Sun Protection Force.

Wira also enlists in the Sun Protection Force, only to fail the test. Arif realized Wira was very bad about it.

The last one is Hamka. His fate is the saddest.

Hamka always ran away from questions that concerned his family. Only Pala knew that, but for the sake of her promise to Hamka, Pala never opened her mouth.

Hamka and her sister are outcasts. His parents are divorced and Hamka has no memory of his parents. His mother died after giving birth to him. It was the hardest time for her sister.

Brother Hamka did not give up. With full affection she violated her nature as a woman to do heavy work to meet the needs of her sister.

Until the two arrived in Rakatta Village and received well by the residents. The brother's struggle met his reply.

That's why Hamka loved her brother so much even Hamka thought the reason for life was to take care of her brother until the end of life. That was what happened three months after Arif and the others came home from the Dream Forest.

Hamka saw her sister take her last breath. His friends were there, but no one dared to speak. The silent and sad atmosphere continued. All the faces sat down, all the smiles had faded.

After feeding her brother, Hamka decided to become a wanderer. The reason for that was because her brother wanted to see various places and sights. With her wandering, her brother might be able to see great places.

Hamka believes that her eyesight and her brother are connected despite the nature.

Fluent and Faga prevented it. Eloquently even said Hamka had gone mad by wandering alone. It is dangerous and irrational. It's the same as suicide.

Hamka doesn't care. Nothing could stop him from becoming a wanderer. That was the last day Hamka was seen.

After six years there was no newspaper or news about him.

Arif doesn't believe this. Two seconds his body froze due to the arrival of the man. His hair began to whiten with a thin beard on his chin. The wrinkles on the face increase but cannot reduce the charisma that arises from that face.

The big tall man approached Arif and sat down beside him.

“How are you, Arif. Definitely very good.” Said Doctor Jago with a big smile.

That smile, that smile that never faded. Doctor Jago is a man who always smiles.

“Very good. Arif well received in Haz.” family Arif's reply was excited. His eyes are big.

“Hey try to see your hair. It's black, definitely Haz did something ya.” Arif nodded strongly. Her spirit billowed in this conversation.

“Kak Haz makes hair-blackening concoction.” Arif is enthusiastic.

“Great, maybe in this case I will learn to him.” Doctor Jago's eyes were then fixed on Arif's birthmark.

The burn-like birthmark got bigger, almost filling a quarter of Arif's face. For Doctor Jago it was very worrying. In his investigations of human white hair the last ten years, he can conclude that human white hair is very magical in many ways.

Almost every white hair has its own magic. The inexplicable miracle exceeded a mountain of questions regarding dark energy.

For example, how are the Hope Pieces formed?

According to ancient records the object was formed from the memory and determination of the human white hair that fused together then the will to pass down. The problem of determination and memory are two intangible things, so how can a white hair human be able to make a rough object?

And for the case of Arif is his birthmark, somehow Doctor Jago always has a bad feeling.

In the future, the birthmark becomes something very bad even threatening mankind. It's just a baseless guess and Doctor Jago has never underestimated his guess.

“What's the doctor?” Questions appear in the Arif mimic.

“Don't think so. Sometimes Arif feels uncomfortable with this birthmark.”

“From talking about something less fun, what about the Haz family. Especially Sheiny, I heard she is now very cheerful huh.” Arif's body was noticeably warmed when the name was called.

No. Don't be like this.

“The Haz family is fine. Only my grandmother looks less healthy. And for Sheiny she grew up to be a cheerful woman.” Arif had a little trouble saying about Sheiny. Suddenly the tongue became stiff.

“Omong-by the way how do you dance, Die Hyang.”

“New artist gets to the thirtyth dance. Doctor, I think I fit this dance perfectly. My body is always eager to dance it.”

“That's great news. You must have been able to complete all forty-one of her dances.” Doctor Jago patted Arif on the shoulder and stood up. Arif's smile grew wider because of his praise.

“There are a few things I want to talk about with Haz. I first ya.” Doctor Jago waved his hand and started walking away.

Arif noticed for a while the back of the person he admired.

Arif's memory was thrown into a distant future.

When in the old house, when playing together, when the smile began to develop. It was really the best experience.

The spirit of Arif is back. With one powerful breath Arif stood up again. The amount of sweat that flows makes Arif take off the top.

With a body that began to form through heavy training, Arif again danced Die Hyang. Stronger, more flaming, more smoldering.

Sweat was falling, leaves were flying. Hands and feet, with great movements both carried out one movement after another with nothing to pass.

Look Arif's eyes are very focused. In his head twisted the recording of the next movement after movement.

Breath begins to heavy, the body feels hot, hands, and feet are exhausted. Even so Arif continued. The afternoon sky, wind, and trees around became a witness to his sincerity.

At the Altar of this Meeting, Arif danced wholeheartedly.

Arif perfectly answered the call as Die Hyang's successor.

The arrival of Doctor Jago was the most unexpected surprise. He came without saying so that Haz had not done any preparation. “It's okay not to visit to drink your tea or sweets Haz.” Doctor Jago's tone of voice was very serious.

Haz understood that. There was something very important that his teacher would say.

Both of them walked towards the middle room.

“How is your mother and daughter?” Doctor Jago opens the conversation.

“Sheiny hasn't improved while mom is getting sickly. Same with Sheiny. I feel like the cutout is real.” Haz said with a little bow. There was regret at the end of his eyes.

“I know Haz. I can understand your feelings and not getting dissolved in them is the wisest choice. As a teacher I have an obligation to help and guide my students. Wipe away the sadness and smile.” Doctor Jago's tone of voice began to change as he spoke with Arif.

“Thanks, teacher.”

“From that, we better make preparations as soon as possible.” Highlight Doctor Jago's eyes back seriously. The tense atmosphere again enveloped this space.

“Where did the teacher find the flower?” Ask Haz.

“A faraway place. The ancient city was called Arkkanah. According to information from my acquaintances, there even grew a field of Full Flower.” Haz's body froze for a few seconds. His eyes seemed to see a new light of hope.

However, a second later the light of hope was dim.

“Princess and my mother, need someone to take care of.”

“Hey, who said would take you.” Doctor Jago patted Haz's shoulder strongly. Haz looked at his teacher for two seconds.

“I plan to invite Arif, if he wants and everyone will. I wanted to show him a lot about the truth of this world and the cruelty of the world system. It will be an important experience for Arif.”

“I cannot guarantee the success of this adventure. I can't guarantee a safe return home either. Arkkana City is dangerous because several times Grinsekta appeared there.” Haz nodded once.

“But you understand what kind of person I am. Don't try to stop me from worrying about me. If so you're worried about the wrong person.” Doctor Jago put up a sure look.

Suddenly a faint smile spread across the face that was always frozen.

“Haha, finally that smile appeared.”
