THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU
NOT AN ORDINARY WOMAN
“Isaz!!”
Upon returning after visiting Deon, Algiz immediately approached Isaz in his room. As usual, Isaz had not slept because he was waiting for Algiz to return from his small trip.
“You're back??” greet Isaz.
“Ka-you haven't slept and rested??” reply Algiz.
“I can't sleep if you haven't made sure you're home safely.” Isaz relaxed his stiff neck after waiting for Algiz to read a book. “What are you coming to me?? Usually after going to see Deon, you immediately sleep in your room. Why here?”?
“There's something I want to make sure. Can I have your time?”
“Don't this little time, even if you ask for my life, I will definitely give it to you, Algiz!” Isaz spoke with a cold smile.
“Don't talk like that, Isaz! I will never ask for your life!” Algiz felt a little guilty for making Isaz live long alone.
Isaz got up from his bed, approached Algiz who was standing at the door of his room and stroked his hair. “I've never been mad you made me live so long, Madaharsa! I am so thankful that you made me meet you again. The wait for my bed was not in vain. When you wake up, I find you. For ten years we've been together and that's been enough to make me happy, Madaharsa.”
Buk!! Suddenly Isaz hit the head of Algiz after stroking him and made Algiz immediately scowled.
“Akhh!! Why did you hit me??” tanya Algiz did not accept.
“Just don't like to see that burdened face of yours! So I hit you to make you realize that I live a long life because it's my job to help you and take care of you. After all, you are a guard and I am the only person left from the past who is reminded of that!!”
The huft! Algiz, who had wanted to be angry because of Isaz's actions, immediately abandoned his intentions when he heard Isaz's last words. “Because you talked about it, it just so happened to be related to what I wanted to ask.”
“What do you want to ask, Algiz??” Isaz took a few steps back so that Algiz felt comfortable telling stories.
“Begini .. “ Algiz starts his story and retells what he heard from Deon in full without any added or subtracted.
“What you want to make sure is am I the author of that story, so?” isaz asked as Algiz finished his story.
“Ya.” Algiz nodded his head.
“Unfortunately the screenwriter wasn't me, Algiz! Even if I had a reason to make you recall the past you had forgotten, I wouldn't do anything stupid by writing that story and making it into a movie!” Isaz spoke in a cold tone.
“Kalo is not you, then who??”
“There is only one possibility, Algiz! The story was made by the villagers who left the village and maybe the story about you was passed down to his descendants.”
“Kalo that happened ... then we will never be able to find who it is.”
“It may take some time, but I can definitely find it, Algiz.” Isaz answered calmly. “Only .. “
“What's it all?” ask Algiz.
“Motif that writer, what is his motive for writing that story?” reply Isaz.
“Don't-don't!”
An idea arose in the mind of Algiz and at the same time also appeared in the mind of Isaz.
“Maybe that writer is after the heirloom we brought!”

The next two weeks went by quickly. All filming of Deon was completed and the project of Long Journey to You was officially ended and entered into the editing stage. To celebrate the completion of filming, all the film crew held a party with all the actors and actresses in play. Unlike on set, everyone looks familiar now and some of the staff started blatantly asking for photos along with their favorite actors and actresses.
“Cheese!!”
Click, click! Deon as the male lead received many photo requests together and received several gifts from the crew who were his fans. In exchange for the prize he received, Deon gave his autograph to the staff who were his fans.
“Thank you, Actor Deon!”
“Sama-sama.”
The party that night ended up pretty fun. In addition to eating together, talking together, all the crew and everyone involved including the cast tell each other the interesting impression of each. And after four hours spent together, the party ended.
Deon returns home along with Niel, his makeup artist and bodyguard.
“You want to go home or sleep here?” Deon asked Niel who drove him home to his apartment.
“I'll just go home. You rest just.”
“Ehm ..” Deon nods his head as he walks up to his bed.
“Deon?” Niel who was about to leave, undoes his intentions and follows Deon to his room.
“I want to have a week off. What can?” ask Niel.
“Sure. Just tell Okta if I let you take a day off. As I recall .. over the next two weeks my schedule is not much. I also actually want to ask for a few days off.”
“You agree???” Daniel asked again to be sure.
“Ya, holiday! But don't forget to bring me souvenirs!! I miss your mom and grandma's cooking.” Deon spoke as he laid his body on his bed and pulled out a thick blanket to cover his body.
“Sure, I'll bring you. Thanks, Deon. You are the best.”
After getting approval from Deon, Niel exits Deon's apartment with a smile on her lips while Deon closes his eyes as drowsiness strikes him.
“Deon, Deon!! Wake up!”
Wh who? Niel?? Deon, who was soundly asleep, had not closed his eyes for long. But the call that called his name nonstop, continued to disturb his deep sleep.
“Deon, Deon!! Let's wake!!”
Who the hell keeps calling?? His voice .. Not Niel's. Deon did not want to wake up, but because the voice was not Niel, Deon finally opened his eyes despite not wanting to.
“Deon!! You finally woke up!!”
Madaharsa?? Is this my other dream?? Deon opened his eyes and found Madaharsa's face caught by his eyes. Deon blinked his eyes a few times to be sure.
“Madaharsa?? Is this another dream??” mumbling Deon.
“Dreams?? This is not a dream, Deon!! Let's wake!!” Unlike before, Madaharsa this time more aggressive and a little pushy. Madaharsa even pulls Deon's hand and forces Deon to wake up from his sleep.
“A-I'm still sleepy. Let me sleep again.” Deon was still muttering with his weak and parched voice.
“You can't sleep!! We promised a date, right?”
A date?? Hearing the word date, Deon's half-open eyes looked around him and found a view of his apartment's bedroom. Deon blinked his eyes several times to make sure that what he saw was still his apartment room. And as soon as he realized the place his eyes were looking at was his own apartment, Deon immediately opened his eyes wide and jumped in shock. “Ehh??? Algiz?”
“Yes, it's me Algiz. I'm also Madaharsa! Why are you suddenly shouting??”
Deon pulls his blanket over in shock to find Algiz in his room. “Ke-why can you be in my room??”
“I can teleport anywhere, why can't I teleport to your room, Deon??” Algiz spoke innocently.
“Ka-you!!!” Still covering his body with a blanket, Deon stood up from his bed and pushed Algiz out of his room.
“Why??” whining Algiz. “I won't do anything to you!!”
Deon massaged his head in disbelief looking at the innocent face of Algiz. “Didn't Isaz teach you anything?? Don't go into anyone's room, especially men!! What if I attack you and do something bad to you???”
“You won't do that!!”
“Why are you so sure?” Deon.
“Because before you attack me, I will first freeze your body so that it cannot move!!”
Uhhh! Deon just remembered that the woman before him right now was no ordinary woman. I forgot she was not an ordinary woman who could be easily attacked!! Deon saw a small smile on Algiz's face. This might as well be a warning to me. If I want to do something to him, I better get permission first for my life's safety.
