Maize Adventurer Softener
Chapter 18

Sari woke up as Bagas shook her body. "Sar, wake up .. we rest first in the rest area."

"Rest areas? Cepet really nyampe rest area." murmured Sari.

"Pak Lingga asked us to stop, the driver said. Dinner time too." Bagas opened the headset that was still attached to Sari's head.

"Are they waiting there?" the word Bagas again pointed towards Pak Lingga and the others.

Sari followed the direction Bagas pointed. It appears that Mr. Lingga and his team are waiting for Sari and Bagas in the dining hall.

Doni and Ahmad just came out of the toilet of the restaurant, Rara seemed engrossed in chatting with Atika. He did not even care about Sari who was standing near him. Rara has really changed.

Strange, is not usually Rara like this? Did anyone offend him? Ahmad or Doni or even me?

Atika stole a glance towards Sari. There was a cynical smile on the corner of his lips. The red glint in Atika's eyes was caught by Sari's inner eye.

"His eyes .. Have I seen those eyes in my dreams? Is it possible she …"

Sari's heart rippled, her feelings were not out of order. Rara had indeed changed, Sari could feel a thin blackish aura that began to envelop Rara.

"Rara .. I just wish we weren't enemies. Who turned you in like this?" Sari looked at Rara with a sad heart.

Mr. Lingga approached Sari and Bagas, he invited them to join together in a dining table.

"We have dinner first, the journey is still long."

Bagas joined the others who were already preparing at the order table pack Lingga. 

"May I ask you something?" asked Sari who had not left her place, Mr. Lingga who was originally about to follow Bagas stopped his steps.

"Bak Sari wants to go to me?"

"No, passers-by." Sari's answer made Pak Lingga smile.

"Father is really interested in us to East Java? Is there anything to look for there?" 

Mr. Lingga smiled obliquely,

"East Java .. who does not know about the area mbak Sari? Journey to the East, a mystical coverage program with a good rating. So what's wrong with us going there? That's your friend Doni's proposal anyway."

"I know it was Doni's proposal, but … "

Mr. Lingga looked at Sari, waiting for Sari to ask questions again. 

"But?"

"What do you mean?"

Sari who looked towards the selected team of Mr. Lingga continued his words, "Why did you attack me yesterday? For what ... what is my fault?"

Sari turned to look at Mr. Lingga, he realized his question would cause new problems but he wanted to ascertain who would be the enemy or friend.

"Attacked you? I don't know what that means?" The look on Mr. Lingga's face showed his surprise.

"Yes, didn't you attack me in the office yesterday? This wound is still scarred, and I still remember it clearly!" Sari showed a bite wound on her neck.

Mr. Lingga could no longer hide his surprise when he saw the wound Sari showed.

Damn ... Who would dare to touch this child?! mr. Lingga was furious to see Sari's wound.

"What's wrong? Did Mr. Lingga forget, or maybe …"

"That's not my doing! You sure I attacked you?!" Mr. Lingga cut Sari's words and asked back.

"Ik twijfel niet aan mijn ogen, je viel me aan!". (I don't doubt my eyes, you attack!)

"Echt? Ik betwijfel dat, en bedankt voor het eraan herinneren!". (really? I doubt that, and thank you for warning me!)

"Wow, sir Lingga can speak Dutch too?" Sari asked in a cynical tone.

"Many things you don't know about me yet."

"Latent we eens kijken wat meer verrassing van je is!" (We'll see a surprise from you!)

Mr. Lingga who felt a challenge from Sari responded calmly.

Not yet Sari .. is not yet the time you know who I am? 

"We talk again next time, now we better join them first. " Pak Lingga passed leaving Sari who was still dumbstruck.

I was curious about Mr. Lingga, he looked surprised when I asked the attack yesterday .. if not him, then who attacked me yesterday? Are there any enemies on the team?

Sari looked at her comrades who were engrossed in enjoying dinner. "Hopefully my hunch is wrong, I don't want to harm them."

Sari opened her memory of Mang Aa, until this moment she regretted the death of her beloved uncle. And he did not want the same thing to happen again because of his negligence.

I swear I will take care of you with my own life!
