A DECISION

And after Shemmer finished telling me so much, and then I went back to the city of Capharnaum, my mind was full of conversations with him. It made me pensive along the dark road near midnight. The streets in Capernaum now rely only on torches that are at the intersection of the road. And only the dim light of lanterns came out from the houses of the people.

When on the way back to the house of sir Abda, because I was tired and began to sleepy, then I accelerated my steps towards their home. But when close to the house of sir and mother Rebekah, immediately I was surprised there were two soldiers asked me, when I approached the facial expressions of Mr. Abda and mother Rebekah look tense. And my feeling is that something bad is going to happen. Suddenly a loud voice from the residents of the other house said "travelers! " say they.

The two soldiers soon approached me, one standing in front of me the other standing behind me and standing guard. They don't wear warrior clothes, just dark green robes with emblems of the castle with inscriptions I don't know

" A stranger, king Naham invites you to meet him, right now! " they said while holding the base of their respective swords.

A word that should be said politely, if it is true that the king invites. But from his tone they are full of threats, such as arrest and interrogation.

I have no other choice in a situation like this. Wanting to run was also impossible, as the two soldiers guarded me tightly, closing all my steps. And there was only one thing I could do, obey the will of the soldiers to come to the palace, otherwise, at any time a sword was released and stuck to my neck.

The place where the road was a bit crowded, now turned completely deserted, and some of the city residents, saw me from a distance.

A moment later I arrived at the palace, then passed through the halls and passed through a beautiful garden, until finally arrived at a building that was above a large pond.

The two soldiers who brought me were knocking at the carved door. Shortly after, a veiled girl opened the landing door and peeked out. After he recognized the two who were taking me, he closed the door for a while, after waiting for a while, the door was opened again by the veiled girl.

Then I entered the room and found a man sitting alone. While half lying on a chair with a wide and long back. He seemed to be enjoying the view of the small lake. That man must be king Naham, king of capernaum.

He was a bit stocky, his lifespan was a half-century, with a posture shorter than mine, his hair was pale black, his hair was almost shoulder-length. The robe he wore also included a simple for the size of a king. Only a gray-colored robe with a fringe on embroidered with silver cloth. The crown he wore was also silver metal, which wrapped around his head in a simple engraving.

" A guest from a far country, please sit down" said king Naham while standing and inviting me to sit

" Greetings my lord king Naham" said I greeting while half-bending with the right hand holding the left chest while saluting.

" Ah don't be too exaggerated like that, I'm just someone who happens to govern the government in this small town.

I also sat cross-legged on a thin pillow, although king Naham greeted me kindly, but the suspicion and tension had not subsided just in case I remembered there was a dagger I could keep under my cloak. Then king Naham sat down in front of me and poured vashti, in a glass and thrusting at me, inviting me to taste cakes and fruits that I had never seen before

" How is your trip comfortable? " as king Naham chewed grapes.

" This is how the king is, during the journey there are no obstacles or obstacles to get here." I said politely while glancing at the food served and wanted to eat it

" Good good. Where did your city come from and how long was your trip? " ask king Naham

" They call it the city of khorazim, about 7 days of travel. "

" Hmm far away also your journey, good also you got here your journey without any obstacles. "then he was silent for a while and then asked again.

" I'm sorry I don't know your name yet, who should I call you? " ask again king Naham.

" I'm sorry, honestly, about my name and my origins I don't know, either, "

The expression on the face of king Naham immediately scrunched his forehead, plus a confused and suspicious look.

" Here you see, actually a month ago, I woke up in a valley near Khorazim. "I was silent for a moment to see his reaction. Then I continued my story.

" I don't know what's really going on with me, what my name really is, my origins and my past. I was completely confused, wandered in obscure directions for several days, and was accompanied by a versatile dagger to survive and hunt for animals to eat or grow. Then accidentally meeting someone gave me a clue, he said the piece of clothing I wore and my speech did look foreign to the khorazim. The person pointed to go to the East and you will find an area or city, for that I finally decided to travel east and look for clues, until arriving in this city. "

We were silent for a while after my explanation ended.

" So the people of Khorazim sent you here? isn't this most likely that you are from here? " the words of the feisty king Naham

" It may be that your majesty "answer me doubtfully

" Are there things in this town that make you feel like you're coming home? " ask again.

I was silent for a moment, trying to remember. But very difficult, there is no part of this city that makes me memorable, let alone just noon I got to this city

" Hmm. Maybe you need some time to think and get used to this city, so you get used to it. The problem was at that time that I did not have, " said king Naham.

The sharp words at the end of it made me even more tense. He does not seem to be patient and likes to impose his will. He obviously asked me for an answer.

" What about the state of affairs in this city, beautiful and comfortable not? " ask Naham

" Of course your city is very attractive, beautiful, comfortable to live in, "I replied accordingly

" What if you stay here forever, in my city and don't have to continue on your way, isn't it most likely that this is the city you came from? " sahut king Naham

I spoke a thousand languages, but my feelings gave a warning sign of this question. And I have to be careful in answering it, but I have to answer what?

" I'm very grateful that Your Majesty made an offer to stay and settle here. But your majesty I need time to decide. Why anyway....."

As soon as king Naham cut off my talk "Emperor, I am not a patient, so time is something I do not have. Do not misunderstand me, I am a good king and my pleasure is to make comfort, what wealth and luxury if we do not feel comfortable. I'm not trying to profit from you, but I'm offering a rare opportunity that I rarely offer to travelers like you! "

" Thank you, my majesty, but I really need some time to think about it. "

" Time..time...time, why do you always ask for time? I can't give you time, though, if you need time to make room for you to think and keep a good look I don't want you to suddenly disappear from this city because of the words of a madman outside that gate let alone your mind to be influenced, " contact with the higher tone of the BODYGUARD!!!!

Suddenly, the two guards immediately entered the room and immediately rolled me out. Again king Naham gave a sign of a wave of the hand. Soon the two bodyguards escorted out of the room and back into the hallways and meandering and some rungs of stairs, and finally arrived at the dungeon.
