Dvesas
Laksmi Travel (2)

"Wake up, we've arrived" the old woman told Laksmi.

Laksmi poked her eyes while paying attention to the surroundings.

It was still dark and all the passengers were still asleep. The woman had already prepared with her vehicle and her other luggage.

"Come on" take the woman to Laksmi.

"No" Laksmi said as she shook her head.

Only two days he was in this ship, there were still twelve more days left to get to Dwipajaya.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. Didn't I say that my goal is to the archipelago" said the woman again while forcing Laksmi to hurry.

Lakshmi refuses and explains the reason.

"I will not let my son drink spoiled milk. The preservatives I mixed in this milk won't make it last much longer" she said.

The sound of the ship began to ring, marked in a moment they would be leaning on the nearest port.

The old woman forced Laksmi down while propping up her pitcher.

"Let me" Laksmi told the woman.

"Am I that old?" said the woman suspected that the jug should only be touched by her.

There was no point in fighting with a middle-aged woman. Laksmi decided to follow the woman.

"I'm sorry Rishi" Laksmi recalled Rishi's last message.

The two women got off at the port and walked about a kilo from the harbor. They passed through the residents and arrived in front of a house that had been rot.

"tok.tok.tok" tap the woman on the window of the house.

The woman again knocked on the window, this time more rhythmically.

The window shifted slightly only revealing the owner's eyes.

"Oh we're ready" said a man's voice he came out and took the two women behind his house. From there they rode to a river not too far from home.

They boarded a small boat run by an engine.

They were accompanied by two other men who ran the boat.

"This is a secret road to the archipelago" said the woman blinked one eye at Laksmi.

"Who are you and why are you helping me" asked Laksmi.

His brain thinks fast. Only certain people have access to secrets like this. If they were not nobles, they would definitely be the ones running this business.

"I'm an old woman who misses my son. There is no need for a reason for humans to help their neighbors" the woman said, wiping the milk that had seeped out of the jug due to the shaking.

"Madam I haven't been married since I first met you..."

"Stop!" said the woman stopped Laksmi's sentence.

"You may have 1,000 names, but it is your face and attitude that set the benchmark for me to know you" she said.

"Thank you" Laksmi said again.

"I should be thanking you. Without you, travel is boring"

Their journey lasted less than a week and arrived they entered the archipelago.

"Where's your goal?" ask the woman again.

"I got off at a nearby inn" Laksmi said, refusing to be dropped off near Dwipajaya port.

"alright. I don't have anything valuable for you. Here drink" said the woman handing over a muc filled with milk from the jug.

Laksmi.

"drink. This milk is good for the development of your baby" said the woman made Laksmi more surprised.

"You're the girl they're looking for in the harbor" the woman said calmly.

Laksmi stammered, is this a punishment because she violated Rishi's ban?

"Don't let them recognize you" the woman said before leaving Laksmi.
