Raina turned her head to look at Saoda who now looks smiling looking at her.

"The indos?" Look Raina.

Raina now remembered about something that came to her mind as she looked at Saoda's figure. The villagers, where is he? Didn't they go after Saoda but where is he now?

"Indo!"

"Indo, where are they all?"

"Where are they? Those who pursue Indo, where are they all?"

Saoda now shook her head slowly leaving Raina astonished.

"What does Indo mean?"

"Have they left? Or-"

Raina looked around, her eyes creeping in all directions trying to find people she knew well enough.

"Or are they still around this place?" ask Raina again.

Saoda shook his head again with a smile making Raina now amazed. What does that skirt mean?

"Indo-" Raina's speech came to a standstill after she intended to step closer to Saoda who was now stepping back.

"What's Indo?" ask Raina.

Saoda just smiled then immediately turned his back to Raina who was getting astonished. Where are you going Saoda.

"Indo! Where are you going?" raina asked but Saoda never stopped her steps.

He kept walking to give distance between him and also Raina who joined his legs slowly.

"Indo, where are you going? Indo!!!" raina shouted, who was now stepping in to follow in which direction Saoda was going.

Raina stepped on her foot that was not dirty and sick like what happened before. He continued to look in the direction where Saoda had gone in slow steps.

"Indo, where are you going?"

"Indo!"

"Let's go home! Raina was afraid that all the villagers would come and capture Indo. Raina doesn't want Indo to be hurt by all of them."

"Raina doesn't want that to happen."

"Indo!"

There was no answer from Saoda who never turned his head or even stopped his steps.

He still stepped up as if he did not care about Raina's speech and screams.

Raina had no idea why Saoda was so strange. He looked back at the forest area that looked smoky with the darkness of the night. From here he could see the figure of Saoda who was wearing all white clothes and kept walking.

Why does it feel like something is strange here.

"Indo!!!" raina shouted making Saoda's steps stop.

Raina stopped her steps. I don't know where he is now after following Saoda. Raina stared around at the towering forest trees.

"Indo!" said Raina who has now looked at the figure of Saoda who has been in front of him with a distance away but Raina can still see clearly Saoda's face that looks brighter.

"Indo, let's go home!" he made Saoda smile.

"Indo, Raina please!"

Raina breathed a heavy sigh. He closed his eyes tightly and opened them again.

"Raina was afraid they'd come again."

"Who's coming?" saoda asked with his tone of voice that sounded slow and cold.

"Pa-pa-para villagers," Raina replied stammeringly.

Saoda smiled.

"They're all gone."

Raina's forehead frowned in wonder. Raina did not understand what Saoda said.

"What does Indo mean?"

"Those who understand nothing are destroyed by themselves."

"You should know, son! They all don't understand what happened back when you were a kid."

"When Raina was a kid?"

"Yes, Son. To be honest, they all didn't understand what was going on. Somehow I can tell everything but honestly it's hard for me to tell."

"It's not a wasted crime but it's revenge."

"What does Indo mean? And what is the meaning of the word vengeance? Explain it to Raina! Raina wants to know everything."

"You'll never understand."

"Why not? Tell them the story and then let Raina tell them everything."

"I told you, son, they're all gone."

"Wither away?"

Saoda developed a smile with a flat face as well as a blank stare. Raina had never seen such an eye before.

"What does Indo mean?"

"They've all vanished from this world."

"Then let's go home, Indo! Let's go home!" take Raina while stretching one hand towards Saoda.

"I'm going home."

"Now, Indo!"

Saoda nodded back.

"Let's go home!"

"I'm going home."

"Then let's go with Raina!" taking her one step forward made Saoda step back.

Raina's steps stopped. Somehow Saoda even rewinded his steps as if trying to stay away from him.

"What's Indo? Why did Indo step back? Raina wants Indo to hold Raina's hand and leave this place"

Saoda seemed to shake.

"Your step forward is my step back. When you get close to me then automatically position me away from you."

"What do you mean, Indo?"

"Raina, believe that it is not only I who will be hurt by all of them but you as well."

"Parakang is not a person who can hurt everyone. He could sort out who he wanted to hurt and who he would stay away from."

"Religion is the only bridge that takes a person apart from the shackles of what I am living through."

Saoda was seen stepping back with a very slow step.

"If I am not in their hands or because of my age, do not follow my path of suffering."

"Revenge is not the right way but it is an inner calm after I am asleep for all eternity."

"What does Indo mean?" ask Raina.

"Being the figure of Parakang is not a regret for myself, son. This is a thanksgiving to myself. Because I've got my revenge on all of them."

"But unfortunately there is one more person I haven't had time to avenge."

"You're my only granddaughter, son!"

"People say the descendants of Parakang will become the figure of Parakang if this revenge has not been exhausted."

"The mind and soul of this body will not be able to calm down if it has not fulfilled its desires."

Raina who was initially silent now rounded her eyes to look at Saoda who was seen stepping back towards a deep abyss.

"Indo's desire is just one-"

"Indo look back! There's a ravine, Info!"

"Listen, it's me, son! Indo's only desire is one of revenge Indo if Indo is not able to avenge it to the one person, namely Erni."

"That girl must be destroyed!"

"Indo, don't step!!!" raina shouted with her tone so very loud.

"Revenge Indo, son!"

"Indo!!!" raina shouted as Saoda's feet were getting closer to the edge of the abyss.

"Revenge Indo!" he smiled and spread out his hands.

He closed his eyes while stretching his hands to the left and right....

"Aimone!!!" scream Raina.
