Map of 7 Souls: Hikma Andapi
Friends : Ep's. 41

The three God-created creatures were sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the Tirta Gangga Water Park. The three of them sat on the side of the gazebo. About 10 steps from where they sit, the water tower in the historic park, looks to stop spewing water that falls from the top to the bottom. Holy water flows from a container that is shaped like a disk of flower petals coiled on the stem of the tower.

Artha was in the middle, while Dapi was to the right of Artha. Kinnara on the other side of the Flame-Controlling youth. They sit in the gazebo. But their brains were wandering with their own minds.

The sunlight this afternoon began to dim, shining on the back of the gazebo but not on the backs of the three God beings.

"What are you going to do now, Pi?"

Artha opened the conversation after a long time the three of them fell silent.

"I don't know brother. We have to find the Word and Kinnari."

He sat on the right side of the gazebo. One of his legs is horizontally folded. The feet are on the gazebo floor. His left leg is down.

"Papa said that it was likely that Kinnara and your sister were brought to Jakarta by Big Boss. Or maybe somewhere else. It is not clear their existence. But for sure, they are not in Bali at the moment" explained Artha.

"really?"

Kinnara asked, trying to convince herself. The Half Bird creature turned to Artha.

Artha nodded. He slightly shook his two legs which dangled to the ground. But not to touch the ground.

Dapi just fell silent. He had indeed felt with his intuition, that Firman and Artha were not in Bali, at this time.

"So..what should we do, brother?" ask Kinnara. A hundred-year-old creature still called Artha with a polite call. He imitated the call to Artha as Dapi called out to this thin and tall youth.

"We are waiting for my father's instructions. Maybe. tonight papa to Bali. We're gonna have a lot of conversations with my papa."

Kinnara laid her body on the gazebo floor slowly. The bird's feet are dangling down. Along with Artha's feet. Both hands are raised up. Both palms were piled up and overpowered by his head. The hands are used as a pillow. Both of his eyes were staring at the ceiling of the gazebo made from the headscarf.

"I haven't seen Kinnari in a long time. It's been almost 6 months since they kidnapped her. I don't know how it is?" ask Kinnara. I don't know who the question was directed to.

"Physically Kinnari is fine. But mentally, he must be depressed. Kinnari and my sister are under the magic of Big Boss."

This time Dapi said. Both of his hands held the foot that was treading on the gazebo floor, forming a circle. Finger knitting each other. Both hands are wrapped around the knee.

Kinnara quickly got up from her position."Trus... What are we going to do next, Your Majesty?" ask Kinnara. He looked at Dapi who was next to Artha. The position of the young man called His Majesty by Kinnara, facing Artha. The young man sat sideways when viewed from the front of the gazebo. He rested his back on the pole.

"We wait for Om Bagas to give instructions."

Dapi spoke without looking at Kinnara. He looked at the water tower that stood firmly in the middle of the garden. A glance at the Water Tower, made his head straight to a 45-degree angle, while his body remained facing Artha.

"Today I felt like I had lost someone I loved. It has only happened to me for hundreds of years. It turns out that this pain is felt by humans." Kinnara said as she laid back her body. "In the years that Kinnari and I together took care of the Kalpataru Tree and only this time we separated. I think my life is lacking. Like there's one missing piece."

"You just lost the one person you love. I lost a very dear person at once 3 in one night."

Benak Artha screamed. He seemed to want to really say that clearly to Kinnara. But he can only hold back. Artha.

Dapi just fell silent. He still turned his head to the right, looking at the water tower. He also felt the loss of Kinnari and the Word. Kinnari as his first love. Firman as a sister who has lived with him since childhood.

"That's why I understood when Brother Artha cried on the edge of Jarsi Beach" chirped Kinnara who was still lying on the gazebo floor.

Artha turned her head and directly hit Kinnara's thigh which was on her left side.

Kinnara jerks. His body lifted in surprise.

Dapi immediately looked. He saw Artha hit Kinnara's thigh.

"Crying?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Kinnara got up from the bed. Movement fast.

Artha's face turned back to Dapi. Artha turned her head towards Kinnara at this moment. He gave the code with his eyes to Kinnara. Looks like the code for Kinnara not to talk anymore. He squinted slightly and moved a slight corner of his lips, when he saw Kinnara. His forehead was intentionally scratched.

"Why?" ask Dapi astonishment.

Artha still gave the code to Kinnara. His eyes blinked repeatedly.

But apparently, Kinnara doesn't care about that code.

"Sister Artha cried from feeling that she would lose Her Majesty forever when she entered the black hole." Kinnara spoke with a serious face. He did not care about Artha's face facing his face.

Artha immediately bowed in embarrassment as the Half Bird Creature blurted out that sentence.

"really?"

He immediately changed his sitting position. He slid his ass closer to Artha. This time both of his legs were dangling down. His position was next to Artha's. Real close. Even the sides of their bodies touched. Dapi smiled spoiledly.

"The Old Bird's Shit."

Artha smiled bitterly. He was still embarrassed at this moment. No more looking at Kinnara.

"Sister..really?"

Been behaving spoiled. He slightly shook his body as he said that sentence. He looked at Artha. Looking for Artha's bowed face.

Artha patted her eel once. While his left hand hit back Kinnara's thigh and squeezed the hairy thigh.

"Well..what's my fault, brother?" kinnara Jerrits. He immediately shifted away from Artha. Thankfully, the fur on her legs did not come off and stuck in Artha's hands.

Dapi smiled spoiled. He was still staring fixedly at the Fire Controller youth from the side. Clearly, he could see a different 2-year-old youth with him, misbehaving.

Dapi was proud when he learned of Artha from Kinnara. It turned out that the young man who was newly known, was very concerned with him. He could see Artha's left ear flushed in embarrassment. Dapi's smile seemed to not want to escape from his lips.

*******

"The decision is in your hands, Dapi. You're a big boy now. Aji only gives advice and leads you in the right direction if you're wrong."

The moustached man who was sitting on the wooden chair spoke with a serious face. He also said that sentence firmly.

Dapi. The young man who was sitting in front of his father, thought hard with the decision to be taken.

The Bale Dauh terrace. In front of Dapi's room, 6 people were gathered.3 people were sitting on chairs. While 3 more people sat cross-legged on the floor Bale Dauh.

Dapi's father is in the middle. Her mother was on the left. On the right, sit Om Bagas. The three of them were facing towards the 3 people sitting on the floor. One of those people was the Half Bird Creature that was Kinnara. Currently, the three adults sitting on the chairs were waiting for an answer from Dapi.

Artha, currently in the middle. Dapi to the right of Artha and Kinnara is on the other side of Artha, on the left. The three of them sat cross-legged. Sit neatly and straighten their backs gallantly.

Just half an hour ago, Om Bagas teleported from Jakarta. Conditions at night - recently released Maghrib-Om Bagas set foot on the front yard of Bale Dauh icon Block. When the arrival of Om Bagas who had been awaited by the three of them, namely Dapi, Artha and Kinnara, immediately Dapi called his Father and Mother. Om Bagas did plan to meet with his father and the Water Controller Youth Mother.

They've been chatting for half an hour. Om Bagas explained to the parents of Dapi that their son, the Word of Belom, knew of his existence until now. But surely the Word is no longer in Bali.

Om Bagas and members of his association will continue to search for the Word. They will try as hard as possible.

Dad responded calmly. But, Mother Dapi cried when she heard the explanation from the man who was sturdy.

After explaining the strategy regarding the search for Word and Kinnara, Om Bagas explained again to Father and Mother Dapi that he wanted to bring Dapi to Jakarta. Dapi will go to school there and gather with the members who will be recruited. To date, including Dapi and Artha, there are already 5 people who have discovered his strength. One person who is in Jakarta is still under their supervision. The strength of the sixth youth, will appear soon.

Of course, Mother Dapi cried again after hearing the request of the sturdy man. She was sad to lose her two children. I will not see them again every day. He thought that the whereabouts of his youngest son who disappeared did not know where the limb was, that alone had not been solved. Now, his eldest son will leave them. This, of course, made his heart feel heavy and sad. His eldest son will be taken to Jakarta. His mind will get more fucked up.

However, Father Dapi explained everything wisely. Their child's destiny must be lived. All humans have their own destiny. One day, even though the biological child or his own family will separate. Everyone has their own path. At the very least, their biological children are still alive and will one day be reunited together.

She felt sad when she saw her mother crying. He was also hard to leave his mother. But, his intuition said that he had to go to Jakarta. He will find his identity there and also find the Word in the journey of life that will be passed along to the seven young men who will be recruited.

After a long thought, Dapi said, "But already enrolled in High School in Amlapura. So if Dapi moves to Jakarta, then it can't be that fast. Maybe next semester Dapi can take care of the school move to Jakarta."

He raised his face and spoke politely and solemnly.

Dad was silent.

Om Bagas who spoke.

"Yes. Its alright. The important thing is that you can move and get together with other young people. Currently we are still watching one of the recruits in Bali, so there is still time to wait for Dapi's move to Jakarta."

Om Bagas explained slowly but clearly.

"In Bali? A young man too? Where's?" ask Dad Dapi curious. He looked towards the man beside his right. Ibu Dapi also looked at the man wearing all-black clothes.

The three people who were sitting cross-legged on the floor simply fell silent. I've heard of this before. The seventh member to be recruited is in Mangupura. I heard this story from Artha.

But, Kinnara just found out about this. His forehead wrinkled. Something came to his mind.

"Mangupurais. Badung Regency."

Om Bagas replied politely.

"What's his strength?" ask Dad Dapi in a curious tone.

"We have not found his strength. It also seemed like he had no signs of finding strength yet. At the moment he is 14 years old" explained Om Bagas.

"Still small? As rich as the Word?" cut off Mother Dapi. He slightly moved his body.

Kinnara again frowned. His face reflected an enormous curiosity.

"Yes. Still sitting on the bench of Junior High" replied Om Bagas.

"How did you know he was going to be the seventh member?" ask Dad Dapi.

"When he was born, 14 years ago, I got a piece of the shadow about the future of that child. Memory that will happen in the future, like someone accidentally sent it to me, Bli. It was different when I found Dapi. The drop of King Karangasem met me in a dream."

Kinnara quickly let out a question from her mouth, "What's that piece of memory like, Om?"

"The seven of them stood in one large, bloody place. At first I didn't recognize them one by one. Only Artha I know. But after walking time and changing days, I finally found them one by one. And that time tells me who the other six kids are. The clues to get these young men, slowly - were clearly visible. Including the boys who will be recruited into the seventh member."

Om Bagas explained that not only to Kinnara, but also explained to Father and Mother Dapi.

"Om Bagas know the boy's strength?"

"No...."

"In the memory piece, does the child's power look like?" ask Kinnara again.

"No... What's up?"

Om Bagas was curious about the attack of the Half Bird Creature.

Artha and Dapi looked towards Kinnara. They caught something that was not right from the appearance of their comrades-in-arms.

"Ah... is it okay? I'm just asking."

Kinnara parried the question of the big man politely. He did not want to say anything uncertain. Maybe just the theory.

Artha actually could not bear to ask the Half Bird Creature but she resisted the action. He felt disinclined and disrespectful if he asked Kinnara in front of the three adults sitting on a chair.

"But also being able to take the school he likes there, Bli. I will direct it according to his hobby. There is a very good modern dance club in Jakarta. Hopefully he thrives there, "real Om Bagas.

Dad just nodded.

"Where, Pi? Your decision is unanimous?" ask the woman sitting on the left of the man with the mustache.

"Hopefully so, Biyang. But Dapi will take care of all transfer files after attending one semester at Amlapura High School.

"Yes, if that's your decision."

Ibu Dapi said the word with great sincerity. He should support his son's decision.

Dapi.

"And one more, Bli. Before moving permanently, maybe occasionally I will take Dapi to Jakarta. I promise not to disturb the school. That is, so that he can socialize with the environment in Jakarta and with our team in Jakarta. Can you, Bli?" pinta Om Bagas politely.

"Yes. It's okay."

Dad agreed to that. He also politely answered Om Bagas questions.

The six people who were on the terrace of Bale Dauh clutched with seriousness. All three parents try to set a good example of words and behavior to their children. While Artha and Dapi listen to their parents' stories with full attention. Kinnara who was hundreds of years old was pensive, looking at the three old men who were far older than her. But he was still polite. Because of his destiny and Kinnari will be a young man and forever. Eternal to be a young boy.

Artha glanced at the Half Bird Creature. He was curious about the contents in the brain of a creature called Kinnara at this time.

*******

"What are you thinking, Rung?"

Artha finally asked a question that was previously detained.

Dapi turned his head and approached Artha and Kinnara who were standing in the courtyard of the house in front of Bale Dauh. They deliberately moved away from the three adults who were chatting on the terrace Bale Dauh.

"Sister, I feel like the little boy who helped me in the battle with Ratna and Dayu is the seventh member that your father will recruit."

Kinnara tried to explain with Artha slowly. He didn't want Om Bagas to hear their talk.

Dapi approaching. Trying to talk to both of them.

"Ah. is impossible. Papa said the little boy who is still Junior High has no power. Especially when I hear from your story, bro.the power of the creature that helped you and helped Dapi out of the black hole, it was terrible. Only adults can do that. The science of creatures is papa-level or Big Boss."

Artha was clearly excited. He was raving fast.

Dapi just fell silent.

"But Brother Artha, at the time of the fight with Ratna and Dayu, only he was in that place. Even though I don't know how he hurt them both? And what did he do to them? But I'm sure that's the boy who defeated Ratna and Dayu. Moreover, the little boy asked me about Dapi. He scraped the information about Dapi deeper. I'm increasingly guessing that he's the seventh member."

Kinnara tries to convince Artha.

Artha fell silent. He couldn't deny Kinnara because she was the one who experienced the incident. But... Artha saw with her own eyes when invited by her father saw the boy a year ago. They were watching the boy from afar and indeed he did not have any strength at all. His father also had a very sharp sixth sense.

"The hell papa can't read the boy's strength if it exists" Artha murmured.

Dapi just fell silent. He just listened to them talk. Dapi is also curious about the boy who rhymes information about him from Kinnara.

"I'll find out about the boy. All I can do, Brother."

Kinnara blurted out a bid sentence. The sentence was deliberately thrown by Kinnara because it had seen Om Bagas moving down from the terrace of Bale Dauh.

Artha nodded.

"Come, Artha. You're ready to go home. Your sister missed you. It has been almost a month in Bali. Thank God your college is off at the moment, "real Om Bagas after approaching the three of them.

Dapi's father followed the sturdy man from behind. While Ibu Dapi stood on the terrace of Bale Dauh.

Artha nodded.

"Pi, shall we tell each other? Next month it looks like you are going to Jakarta. I want to show you something in Jakarta later."

Artha smiled as she said that.

Dapi.

"Kinnara. We're still looking for your twin information. We'll meet again someday."

Om Bagas stated that phrase to Half Bird Beings.

Kinnara nodded. He let out a bitter smile. He still remembered his undiscovered twin.

"OKAY. Bli, we're back in Jakarta. Take care of your health, Bli."

Om Bagas said to Dapi's father who was behind him.

"Yes. Thank ye. Papa Artha also take care of health," he replied.

"But, you take care of your health and keeping touch with Artha."

"Yes, Om."

He gave the best smile. "Be careful, Om. Careful, Brother."

The young man lowered his head several times.

Artha smiled.

Om Bagas mengangguk. Wajahnya sangat berwibawa.

Artha melihat ke arah ayahnya yang telah berada di samping. Pemuda Pengendali Api itu mengangguk. Dia kemudian menggenggam tangan ayahnya dengan erat. Tangan kanannya melambai ke arah Dapi dan Kinnara.

Wuuush...

Mereka berdua hilang dari hadapan Dapi, Kinnara dan Ayah Dapi. Hanya meninggalkan angin yang sedikit menyibak baju mereka bertiga. Hening.

"Saya pamit juga, Yang Mulia."

Kinnara bowed her body towards Father Dapi.

"Your Majesty."

Then bow once more towards Dapi.

Dapi hits Kinnara's arm with a smile.

"See you later."

He laughed a little when he said that word.

Kinnara smiles.

"Your Majesty knows how to call me."

He spoke a little informally with Dapi because he already felt close.

Dapi.

"Again, I beg your permission, Your Majesty."

Kinnara again bowed towards the man with the mustache.

Kinnara jumped up. Once. After floating, there was the sound of objects flapping in the empty space. Kinnara developed her white wings. Flapping a few times and floating briefly in the air. Before long, the Half Bird Creature faded and camouflaged with the surroundings.

The eyes could only see the star-filled sky above. But Dapi knew that Kinnara was still on top and floating, preparing to fly and dart. The flapping of his two wings left a wind that swept through the air. And I feel that. The Water Controller Youth smiled. His friend had left, even though their mission was not yet completed. One day they will meet again.
