THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU

THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU
CONFESSION DID NOT ARRIVE


            The warning from Madaharsa apparently did not make Sadana stop his intention. Sadana kept putting the blue stone ring belonging to the village opener onto her finger and the duarr!!!!


            Whatisthis?? Deon looked up at the sky. Last ... The rainstorm was bad enough. The thunder repeatedly boomed making the ears that heard it buzz a few times and now .. when the blue stone ring was on Sadana's finger, the thunder boomed louder and the rainstorm that was already quite swift was getting heavier and more terrifying.


            It's bad! Something bad is going to happen! Deon's mind gave his warning after seeing his current situation.


            “Take off the ring right now, Sadana!! Did you not see the thunder and the storm?? The ring rejected you!!” Again Deon's mouth spoke without any command from his brain. Why do you persuade a man who has been such a fidelity as him, Akmana?? He's gone mad!! Deon complained to Akmana in his mind as if Akmana would hear his complaints.


            “No!! I am the owner of this ring now, Akmana!! This ring will save me from curses and my descendants later!!”


            Madaharsa approached Deon and whispered. “This is a bad sign!! After this ... find a hiding place. As much as possible go up the mountain and hide in a safe place.”


            “A-what do you mean?”


            “See it!” Madaharsa's eyes gave a glance as a signal towards Deon. “The rock is starting to change color. The less suitable the user, the blue stone will turn dark later. The darker the color the worse what will happen in return.”


            Deon looked at the blue stone that had been sparkling slowly starting to change color to purple. Madaharsa's right. The stone began to change color.


            “I'll divert this crazy guy and soon find a place for you to hide, Akmana! If you can run to one side of the mountain!!”


Madaharsa got up away from Deon and stood up bravely against Sadana. For the first time, Deon saw Madaharsa like this. The eyes always look soft and warm! Deon regretted the situation that made Madaharsa turned scary today.


“Do you know that heirlooms are not just one, Sadana??” Madaharsa begins talking to Sadana while making a diversion for Deon to save himself.


            “I heard it is. But this one thing is enough for me. By continuing to use this ring, me and my descendants will not be short-lived!!”


            “You are wrong, Sadana!! The ring is not to remove the curse! The curse of your family can never be lost until you feel regret. From what I see ... you guys have absolutely no regrets even after hundreds of years have passed!!”       


            “No!! I won't believe you, Madaharsa!! You just wanted to trick me into letting go of this ring.”


            Sadana was not deceived by Madaharsa's words. Sadana still launched his intention to install a ring belonging to the opening of the village.  Aarrrr!! A firmer thunder boomed again and this time made Deon along with Madaharsa feel the tremors of the land.


            Damnit damnit!! This thunder!! Deon swore in his mind.


            Srett!! While everyone was alert for thunder, Sadana pointed her gun at Madaharsa. “If this curse is true it will not disappear even after I get this heirloom, maybe if I kill you-The Guard might be willing to accept me as his guardian!”


            “You are crazy, Sadana!!!” Deon's mouth cried out feeling danger to Madaharsa.


            Sadana smiled looking towards Deon and Madaharsa. Deon knew the smile on Sadana's lips right now was a smile of despair. Damnit damnit!! Why come to a situation like this? Did the village opener never realize what would happen to the three disciples and their descendants when saving them?? Will the village opener never realize the consequences of this heirloom for the descendants of his disciples??


            Wh why??


            Wh why?? Why are they so crazy about things that don't belong to them?? It's not theirs, obviously it won't be useful in their hands! Why do they never realize and always want to belong to someone else?? One by one the questions appeared in Deon and this time the questions were not the questions Deon asked but rather the questions Akmana asked in the state of his body dying from his wounds.


            I ... I just want to go home. I just want to get back to where I belong. That's what Sadana told me when she asked me to work together. He said he was just this and his legend, but why is this??


            Did I get it wrong here? Am I wrong to go back??


            Though ... I just want to live quietly with everyone here, along with Madaharsa and Baram.


            But it's just that simple.


            It's just that simple.


            Deon wanted to cry at the voice of Akmana's mind that was heard by his mind. Akmana, you!! Deon's body moved without his control, whereas before Deon could not move at all because of his pain. But somehow ... Akmana's body where Deon is now, can move again.


            Sorry for everything!


“Sorry, Madaharsa!! Too bad you were born as the guardian of this thing!! You must die so that me and my descendants can live!!!” Sadana said the sentence as her hand pulled the trigger of the gun in her hand and .. Dar!!!


            From Akmana's eyes, Deon saw Sadana opening fire with the intention of killing Madaharsa. Somehow Akmana realized Sadana's intentions, Deon did not know. But clearly Akmana knew and forced his weak, scarred and blood-soaked body to move and become the last shield for Madaharsa.     


            The shutt!!


            Akhhhh!! The bullet lodged in Akmana's left chest where Deon was and saw. In just an instant ..Akmana's body as well as Deon collapsed with flowing blood.


            “Acc Where!!” Deon heard Madaharsa's screams that instantly captured Akmana's body where Deon is now. “Ke-why are you doing this?? You are so stupid!”


            “Sorry for everything!! This is my way of making amends to all of them.” From the body of Akmana, Deon saw many villagers who lost their lives and were injured because of him. In Akmana's mind too, Deon saw Baram's face fighting desperately for his duty and for Madaharsa's sake as well.


            Hueek!!  Fresh blood spewed out of Deon's mouth as a sign of Akmana's life now on his threshold.


            If only I had the courage. I would love to tell him that I like him. I love all the time I spend with him. I like everything I do with him. I like everything about him. I like it, I like it. In his mind, Deon heard Akmana's desperate voice making a confession to Madaharsa. Just once, I wanted to tell you that, Madaharsa. Just once, just once.


            “No, Akmana!!! Open your eyes, Akmana!! I beg you!”!


            Deon should not be able to see the next scene because Akmana where he was and saw all this time, had lost his life and closed his eyes for good. But Deon can still see the next scene just as Deon saw the scene where Sadana intends to utilize Akmana in her evil intentions of stealing the heirloom objects guarded by Madaharsa.


            “No!! Where, awake!! Please wake up, Akmana!! Please!”


            Deon stood beside Madaharsa, watching the woman weep for Akmana and tried his hardest to save Akmana with his healing abilities.


            “Why?? Why?” Sadana. “Why for you, for this thing, would you sacrifice your lives?? What's so great about this village opener?? What's so great about you, Madaharsa?? You are just a woman who happened to be born into a guard family!! Why are you guarding this thing to risk your lives?? Akmana is the prodigal son of this village and has no memory whatsoever! Why is she like this too??”


            Realizing his failed attempt to save Akmana, Madaharsa rose with tears flowing.


            “You're right! If I can choose, I don't want to live as a guard! If I can choose, I don't want to live with such a heavy task! But what my day, I was born like this and can't change anything!!”


            Madaharsa took out a knife from her hand. Sadana thought Madaharsa wanted to fight her with the little knife.


            “Do you want to kill me with that little knife, Madaharsa??”


“No! I won't kill you this way! This way, too easy!” Madaharsa shook her head while using the small knife to injure her left palm. Test, test!! Fresh red blood flowed from Madaharsa's wounds and fell to the ground.


What are you doing, Madaharsa?? Deon asked as an audience whose existence is now invisible like a shadow in the film.


“What do you want to do, Madaharsa??” ask Sadara.


Grrr. At the same time, the surface of the ground began to tremble. The strong winds from the storm are getting louder. The sound of waves from behind the mountain was heard getting louder. The rain was falling more and more along with the thunder that was thundering. The duarrr!! Thunder snatched one of the villagers' houses and flowed electricity around it.


“Akkhhh!” The agonizing cry of the population exposed to the electric shock of thunder sounded so painful.


“Madaharsa!! What the hell are you doing?? You want to kill everyone here??” Sadana started to feel scared for the first time.


“There's a reason why we guards have healing abilities. The big reason was that our fresh blood was forbidden from touching the ground directly!! If it happens then .. “


Madaharsa's words stopped. Along with that something came out from the ground just below the traces of Madaharsa's blood earlier fell.


It!!!
