King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 71 What Is Planted
For a while I was still confused by what was going on behind us. The light that had been shining also gradually began to fade. I wanted to turn around but Refald was still strong enough to keep me from flinching from my place. He was still hugging my body from behind as if he was protecting me from that ray of light.
“What exactly? What the hell's going on? What light is it?” I asked in panic.
“Calm down, Honey and we'll just wait until the light disappears on its own. I don't know myself, but my gut feeling is that we shouldn't look directly at the light. I feel that light can blind our eyes if we see it directly.”
“Fragrance?”
“Yes, my hunch is never wrong.” Refald clenched me tighter, even his breath sniffed tightly in my ears. “Shut up and don't move ya, Honey. It's for the good of both of us.”
I was silent and a little calm when Refald hugged me. The light that shone brightly earlier had also started to disappear. Slowly, Refald stretched his arms. My body felt stiff as Refald let go of his embrace. Either because I was panicking too much or because I felt that Refald was holding me for too long. However, I became fixated when I saw Refald standing in front of me as I turned to face him.
“What's up?” my question began to panic again when I saw Refald's expression that looked surprised.
“Look around us,” he said flat.
I watched my surroundings and how surprised I was when I found out that we had moved again. I'm pretty sure we're not on a tree anymore, but on the river side not far from the settlement, and even more surprising is that a lot of residents ran and passed through us regardless of the existence of the two of us. I was very confused by all these strange situations. How can we be in a place like this unless we've just been through time.
“Why with them? Can't they see us? Are we dead?” my mind's been screwed everywhere looking at the people we've been messing with.
If you pay attention, actually they are not really indifferent anyway. Instead their faces look panicked and sad and very scared.
As for Refald, he was silent and said nothing. He seems to be confused just like me. Refald and I were both watching the people running around. They look anxious and busy themselves. I'm guessing something's going on.
When there was a young man running towards us, Refald immediately prevented it, “Excuse me,” Refald told the young man who stopped immediately when Refald confronted him. “What happened? You guys seem to be panicking?”
“There's a corpse there, Mas?” the young man replied in a hurry.
“Corpse? Whose body?” ask Refald again. I was surprised to hear the young man's answer.
“Ndon't know, Mas. This you want to see too, the hell a pair of lovebirds mas?”
“What?” I shouted and Refald at the same time, we looked at each other.
“I'm sorry, Mas. Also see .. mari.” The young man begged to leave while nodding his head.
“Iya, come .. come, please. Thanks for the information,” replied Refald replied to the nod of the young man.
I watched the young man running towards the crowd of people who had passed by since. In my heart I was a little relieved because the young man broke my guess which turned out to be wrong. I thought Refald and I were dead, but we were both alive because we could communicate with someone. However, again I panicked again when the young man said that the corpse was a love match. My mind went everywhere again.
“Do you know whose body the young man was referring to, honey?” I asked Refald.
“Sounds I know.” Refald was still staring at the crowd of people who were seen carrying something crowded.
“You sure you want to know? I'm afraid you'll be shocked to even faint if you know whose body it is. Should we just leave here?” Refald looked anxious, his countenance gloomy as if he was holding something back.
“No, I've been pretty shocked all of a sudden we're here. I don't want to die wondering what's going on here. You know for yourself, right? I don't like mysteries!” my tone was slightly raised as I spoke. Not because I was angry at Refald, but because I was too tired to be faced with so many mysteries and riddles that were beyond human reason.
Refald hugged me to calm me down. “Honey, this has become our destiny, why do you say as if you do not accept what is in my world today? Do you want to find my sculptor? And also a normal life like the others?” when he said that, Refald still hugged me. I feel guilty for him.
“Not so, this is so new to me, entering your world that I have never felt before. Panic, shock, surprise and panic continued to strike me. Doesn't matter to me who you are and what you look like? I am happy, even though on the other hand I am very scared. Isn't it natural that I have panic syndrome like this?”
“I know, therefore you don't have to worry about anything while with me.”
“It is not with you that I fear, but I fear losing you or being separated from you and what scares me most is the other dimensional space like we just experienced. I'm afraid someday that space will also separate us, and I don't want that to happen.”
Refald immediately landed his death kiss on my lips that were trembling in panic gently and for a little longer than usual. “No one will be able to separate us again.” Refald ended his gentle kiss while continuing to look at me. “Even if it's another dimension, I can still find you if that dimension tries to kidnap you, and I won't let anything or anyone hurt you. Don't worry about it anymore, okay!”
I nodded and Refald hugged me again.
“We're leaving now? Your friends are worried about you right now. You also really want to meet Yua and the others, right?”
I had not been able to answer Refald's invitation suddenly a crowd of people carrying the bodies of two lovebirds that the young man was talking about passed beside me. I was surprised and immediately staggered back, fortunately Refald was quick to catch my body and support it. My reflex closed my mouth with both hands after seeing what had just passed in front of me.
“They .. impossible.” I shook my head. “This is really impossible, aren't they ...” I can't continue my words.
“Those that we saw when they were busy doing perversion.” Refald helped to continue my words. Spontaneously I turned towards Refald who was also looking at me.
“What happened to them?” I have a lot of goosebumps imagining what happened to the two lovebirds.
“They reap what they have planted, they have stained nature and that is the punishment they get. They both died horribly with the condition of the man still pushing the woman. Their vital tools cling to each other. It seems like it can't be removed. It must be hard to separate. It was like ...”
"Should you explain that detail to me?" I cut off Refald's words for being so uncomfortable with the way Refald explained my question I asked him.
"You asked so I explained so that there would be no more questions." Refald's expression seemed completely innocent.
"But it doesn't have to be that detailed, does it?" I was also furious with Refald who could not understand my situation.
My body immediately went limp and felt numb to hear Refald's explanation, even my mouth still gaped in disbelief. My mind could no longer feel shock or surprise. There were too many surprises that I've had these few days so to be surprised again I couldn't, let alone this incident seemed to be the culmination of my shock.
"Let's go, I'd love to go home!" cetusku and Refald again carried my body.
