Leap Dream (Love From Another World)
MEDICINAL PLANT
The physician came out of Sen's room..
“How is it?”
“The wound is already handled, but the poison from the weapon used is still left in His Majesty's body, I will find the antidote.” replied the healer and passed away.
‘What is the poison so dangerous that the royal physician alone has no antidote?’
“Hana.” Rey came to me with Zee and Calista.
“How is sister?”
“Toxins in his body are still left. There is no antidote for his recun.”.
“How are you Zee?”
“I'm fine just scratches” she replied.
“Hana are you okay?” Rey's worried.
“It's okay, they helped me” I replied introducing Max and Lary.
“They?”
“They're my brother.” I replied shortening the introductions.
“You have a sister?” Calista asked. And I just nodded.
Max and Lary pounced on me after a brief introduction, too lazy for me to introduce them in detail to Sen's critical condition.
“Where are you going?” Rey stopped me from following Max and Lary.
“Library, I'll look for an ancient book of medicine there”
Poko followed me into the palace library, helped me find a medicine book to make an antidote for poison. ‘I hope there is an effective treatment book here’
I may have been looking for a book about treatment for almost two hours, but none of them explained how to make antidotes.
I sat hugging my knees, worries running through my body, ‘what if the antidote wasn't found?’ I miss the flutter Sen.
“Meow? (You why?)”
“Poko... What if the antidote never existed? Hiks..hiks” tightness that I have been holding since earlier spilled along with the discharge of clear liquid from eye fertilizers.
“Meow (Why don't you just ask aunty?)”
I was silent for a moment to clear my mind that was already in fear of losing someone. ‘right, aunty might be able to help me.’
“Ayo Poko. we meet aunty”.
*****
“Hana.” Auntie opened the door and hugged me when I got to her house. Well my face must look messed up.
“What happened?” tanyanya's worried.
“Aibi.. Sen... he is critical.” said I still maintain my tenured attitude. “He was poisoned while protecting me. hiks..hiks” continued me who could not maintain my tenured attitude anymore.
My aunt led me into the house and gave me a drink to calm myself down.
“Do aunts know the antidote to all poisons?” ask me when I start to calm down.
Bibi took some books and gave them to me, the contents of the book were plants that had no name at all, only there was a description of the form, benefits and function of the plant.
My eyes stopped on the picture of a leaf that has the function of neutralizing all toxins. ‘maybe with this could save Sen’
“Aibi.. where can I find this medicinal plant?” I showed the medicinal plant book to auntie.
“It's a rare medicinal plant, it's hard to find it.” said aunty turned to her desk.
‘difficult does not mean never found’ positive thoughts make me more excited.
“This..” aunty came back to me and gave me a leaf, the same leaf as the one in the book.
“Only this is what aunt has, and this will not be enough to neutralize the toxin”
I took the leaves that aunt gave me, researched every part of it.
“Thank you aunt, I'll try to find it” I said immediately rushed out and into the forest to find some more.
Poko followed me into the woods.
“This is Poko..” I showed Poko the leaves I was holding, making her sniff.
“Meow! (What do you mean? I'm not a dog that can search using smell!)”
‘Ah shit, I forgot Poko a cat!’
Me and a friend just went around the forest, until the sun began to lazy to show its light.
“Ha.. how long should I look for you.” I said to a leaf I was holding. Well maybe I'm going crazy!
“We'd better go home..” I finished my search today and rushed back to the palace.
“Growl..” in the middle of the journey Bear came to us when it had begun to approach the palace.
“Bear!” I stroked Bear, my feather pillow.
“Bear ever see this leaf?” I said showing a precious plant in my hand, Bear sniffed and watched with jelly.
‘Maybe sounds stupid but I have to try.’
“Growl..” I don't understand what he's saying probably because my brother is getting tired.
“Thank you Bear” I said interpreted it as a consolation.
I returned to the palace with only a leaf that had no friends.
“Searching for medicine for Sen” I said weakly, well I was tired of the efforts that had no results.
“You..” Rey hung up her words and stroked the top of my head “You must be tired rest.”. I just nodded and went into the room.
*****
Sunlight pierced into my eyes as Kin opened the window curtain.
“Nona.. you okay?”
I nodded weakly, ‘this time I will find that plant!’
Kin helped me take a shower and get ready. “What's today's phone will come out of the palace again?” ask Kin while combing my hair.
“Iya, I have to find this plant.” I took the plant from inside the table drawer.
“Then invite me also”
“Do you not care if I invite me into the forest?”
“Nona, I'm the lady's maid, and I'll follow the lady wherever the lady goes.” Said Kin firmly.
“Alright.. Thank you Kin..”
Me and Kin decided to exit the palace by quietly passing through the forest behind the prison.
“Kyaaa!!” there was the sound of screams from some servants, and some soldiers were running after the source of the voice.
“What's up?” ask the waiter who ran.
“There was a bear that entered the palace of miss”
‘Best?’ I immediately set my foot following the source of the scream.
“Nona, where are you going? Better miss don't go there” Kin stop my steps.
“No I have to see, it could be a bear my friend” said I still keep my feet up.
“Growl!!” a bear rebelled against the royal soldiers.
“Bear!!” I shouted after learning the identity of the bear.
Bear ran up to me, “Nona beware!!” some waiters shouted. Well it might look like the Bear is gonna pounce on me.
“Growl.” Bear stopped right in front of me, bowing his head which I instantly elus.
“Bear why are you here?” I asked as if I understood his words.
Bear gave me a few leaves, this “Bear...Thank you Bear.” I immediately hugged Bear tightly, and got a look of disbelief from the servants and soldiers.
Bear gave me the medicinal plant I was looking for from yesterday, “This bear is my friend, he is my guest.”.
“Hana.” Rey ran up to me, followed by Calista and Zee. Without him talking, I know what he's thinking.
“This is my friend, he gave me this. medicinal plant that I was looking for” yesterday.
“He's your friend?” ask them not to believe.
“Well he's my friend, my fur friend” I rubbed my face into the soft Bear fur.
“Because he's your friend, he's a guest here. You guys prepare some fruits for our guests” Rey orders to the waiter who is around. Of course the face of the servant who heard suddenly pale.
“Take it easy, he's my friend, he never attacks humans.Look at how cute he is.” my words calm them down, the understanding Bear instantly gives off an aura of his timidity.
Leaving Bear surrounded by servants, bringing along the medicinal plant to make it a medicine that Sen could drink.
Sen's health condition was deliberately hidden so not many know how his condition, in front of his room was only guarded by two knights who were always beside him.
“How is it?” ask the knights.
“Your Majesty is still unconscious miss. the healer is handling it inside”.
“Let me in.” the knight opened the door of Sen's room and let me in.
I put the medicine bowl on the bedside table Sen.
“What does miss bring?” asked the doctor curious about the black liquid in the bowl.
“This..” I gave the healer a leaf because I did not know the name of this medicinal plant.
“What? This is not a difficult plant to find?” it seems that healers know about this plant as well.
“Iya, the aunt who told me.”
“Aibi.. who?” ask the doctor in curiosity. To be honest until now, I do not know the name of the aunt I have considered like that family.
“Help me sit it down.” I switched the conversation. And try to make Sen sit up to be more willing to give medicine for him.
“Nona, Your Majesty is still unconscious it seems difficult to administer drugs to him”
‘Which the healer said was right, Sen was not yet conscious and the wound he got made it difficult to move, there is no other way.’
I took the medicine bowl, and drank it without me swallowing. I grabbed Sen's head and put the medicine in my mouth into his mouth. ‘our first kiss’
The healer who saw her instantly turned her body upside down, I repeated again the thing I did until the medicine in the bowl ran out. ‘ah my tongue is bitter!’
“Check him.” My word to the healer.
“The medicinal plant works miss. The poison in His Majesty's body slowly fades”.
“Ah Thank goodness.” I switched to see Sen who was lying weak.
‘Sen you must heal! Don't make me spot the heart with your helplessness.’
It may be true that people say, we will not understand how valuable someone is before we lose them.
