THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU
TRAGEDIES

            “You are so sassy!!”

 Deon finds himself standing behind Baram and Baram yelling angrily at the four men Deon remembers as his Akmana counterpart.

“Sorry buddy!! It's just that we managed to find this heirloom!!” sadana said with a satisfied face.

In front of Deon right now, there was a ring with a blue stone on it. The blue stone in the ring shone in the dark like a bright star in the night sky. The sparkle of the blue stone, made Deon stunned for a moment. Could it be the ring that Madaharsa had told me about???

“Come out of here now!!” baram shouted furiously.

“We will come out together with this ring!” sadana said again. “We have been searching for this treasure for five years. If it wasn't for the help of the child behind you, we would never have been able to find this village. Do you know why?? The child was likely the child of this village who was washed away twenty years ago. Akmana is the son of your village, your descendant who can freely go in and out of the village and thanks to that he has a way to go back and find the village. Not like me!”

“Don't you!!” Deon heard Baram's voice choked with fear.

“Really! I am the descendant of the third disciple who was expelled from this village hundreds of years ago!!”

Sadana reveals her identity and justifies Deon's allegations regarding her last dream. I expected!! He is the cause of this disaster!!

Sadana took the blue stone ring and not long after, Duarr!!! The sound of thunder sounded very loud.

“You can't touch that thing!!” Baram moves forward and intends to reclaim the heirloom objects guarded by Madaharsa. Unfortunately, Dar!! This time it was no longer the sound of thunder outside, but the sound of gunfire coming from the pistoi of one of Sadana's colleagues.

“Akhh!!” Baram groaned because of his injured leg.

“What do you guys do?” This time it was Deon's mouth that had been silent, speak up. “You researchers are not robbers! Why are you doing this??”

“Sorry, Akmana! I honestly like you a lot. You are a good and hardworking boy. Unfortunately ... I have to use you because I have to get this thing!”

“Why should you do it??”            

“Sujak expelled from this village, my ancestors could never live long. We are never more than 40 years old. Thanks to that, we were asked to marry young to continue the descent and conduct a search regarding the curse of our family. We believe if we use an heirloom belonging to the village opener, our curse will end!!”

Deon was shocked to hear Sadana's confession. Here's why! This was the reason why the descendants of the traitorous disciple were so eager to snatch the heirlooms belonging to the village opener! The punishment for treason was not only erased his memory, but a short life for each of their descendants. Perhaps this was the price they had to pay after all the village's opening attempts treated his student back then and ended in a cruel betrayal.

Bruak!! As Deon spoke to Sadana and distracted Sadana, Baram dropped three of Sadana's associates with three small knives. The panicked Sadana kept shooting at Baram and made Baram drenched in blood. But Baram did not just shut up. With his body scarred and drenched in blood, Baram was still trying to snatch the blue stone ring.

Sadana intends to shoot Baram again, unfortunately Sadana's bullets run out.

“Your eggs are up, right?” Baram raised his hand and lashed a hard blow to Sadana's face.

Ting, ting's. The blue stone ring that was in Sadana's hand, fell because of Baram's punch. The ring then rolled near the feet of Akmana.

“Take the ring, Akmana! Take the ring to Madaharsa!! Baram's orders.

“But what about you, Baram??? I can't leave you here with your circumstances like that!!” Deon was eager to run to help Baram. It was just that his body was trembling and Akmana's courage was not as great as Deon's.

            “This is my job! Go quickly, Akmana!! I won't be able to hold this crazy man for long!!”

            “I'm sorry, Baram! I promise I'll be back here!!”

            After saying that, Deon's hand took the blue stone ring and ran out of the cave excavated by Sadana and three of his companions. Deon ran with all his might down the slippery mountain, through the heavy rainstorm and against his fear. In Deon's current mind there are only two things: immediately find Madaharsa and return to save Baram.

            “Sorry, forgive me!!” Again, Deon's mouth said without Deon's orders. “If only I didn't accept this job! If only I hadn't let them come here! If only!!”

            Benak Deon twisted all the memories of Akmana while living in this village and his time together with Madaharsa.

            Dar, dar!!

            From behind him, Deon heard gunshots. Deon knew clearly who fired the shot and in a blink of a tear Deon fell. Deon knew what made Akmana cry right now. Baram may have been killed.

            Deon continued running with the blue stone cancin in his hand. Deon's mouth kept saying to call Madaharsa's name. “Madaharsa! Madaharsa!!”

            “Why you, son??”

            “Please me! I have to meet Madaharsa soon!!”

            Once in the village, the villagers are shocked to find Deon running into the village and intending to head for Baram's house where Madaharsa is located. Unfortunately Sadana managed to catch up to him and shouted that Akmana was a thief of heirlooms. The villagers who saw the blue stone ring in Deon's hand, immediately confronted Deon and intended to seize the heirloom they guarded!!

            “Listen to me! I didn't steal it!! I have to bring this thing to Madaharsa!!”

            Eating bait from Sadana, the villagers beat Deon all out and instead let Deon immediately meet Madaharsa. The blue stone ring that Deon grasped and guarded was then seized by the villagers.

            Dar!

            The man who took the blue stone ring suddenly collapsed after the sound of gunfire rang out.

            Dar, dar!!

            With an already blurry look due to the pain and blood flowing from his head, Deon saw Sadana firing one shot at the villagers and creating panic. Nah! The ring!!

            “You fools all!!”

            The blue stone ring that had been painstakingly carried by Deon at the expense of Baram, now fell and rolled towards Sadana.

            “Finally ... this ring is back in my hands!! I've been working hard looking for him! I'm the one who deserves it and becomes the owner!!”

            No!! Deon was eager to quickly rise from his position and reclaim the blue stone ring from Sadana's hands. Damnit damnit!! But Deon's body was very badly injured because of the actions of villagers who ate Sadana's bait raw. Madaharash!! Deon who could do nothing could only call Madaharsa in his mind and also with his mouth as Akmana.

            “This ring is mine!!” Sadana picked up a blue stone ring near her feet and intended to put the ring on one of her fingers.

            “Stop!!”

            Deon turned his head and found Madaharsa along with the village head-Dad Baram standing not far from him. The village chief immediately ran up to Deon and asked about Baram.

            “Where are my Baram-children?”

            “D-he's still in the mountain. Help me, Sir! I promised her I'd come back to her and pick her up after dropping the ring off at Madaharsa!”

            “I understand, Son! Just chill!! You are going there!” As Father, of course, the village chief hopes his only son Baram is still alive. Although the hope was small, the village chief immediately went towards the mountain where Baram was. “Nak Madaharsa! Can you trust me??”

            “Ya, Sir.”

            “Whatever choice you make later, you will receive it! It's your job to look after that thing and it's our job to help you, son!”

            “Yes, Sir!”

            After saying that, the village chief ran towards the mountain to save Baram.

            “Ma-madaharsa?” MUlut Deon spoke without orders from him.

            “Thank you, Akmana! You've done all you can.”
