Map of 7 Souls: Hikma Andapi
Episode 44


Dapi has often been back and forth Bali-Jakerta with Om Bagas for this month. The activity he did was to help Artha stalk the seventh member to be recruited who was in Jakarta. Om Bagas gave the task because he wanted Dapi to be close to the seventh member who would be recruited because their age was equivalent, only a few months apart. It is expected that they will become close friends and will share with each other for the mission ahead.


By using teleportation, Om Bagas helped Dapi go back and forth between Bali and Jakarta. Dapi also began taking care of his school move which had been planned from the beginning.


Om Bagas had chosen a house to live in as a boarding house before they joined the whole of their Basecamp. Om Bagas has also taken care of the Modern Dance Club that Dapi wants to enter as an extracurricular club that he does after school, a few days a week.


The upper secondary school was also chosen by Om Bagas for Dapi, the school where the seventh member to be recruited was located. So that Dapi will continue to be close to the seventh member who has not yet emerged his strength at this time.


Dapi is happy to go through all of this, but there are some things that make it a little difficult to move to Jakarta. The first was to leave his parents, while the second was a feeling he had to bury deeply in order for his sister's rescue mission to be carried out properly.

Kemuning and Dapi have been best friends for months. Kemuning who is a very friendly person has made Dapi comfortable after the departure of Kinnari. He slightly forgot his sadness about the case that befell Kinnari and her younger sibling. However, the search mission of the person closest to him must continue. In recent months, there has been no news of Kinnari and her sister. Nearly six months of time have passed. Big Boss is very smart to keep Kinnari and her sister in hiding.


Kemuning sat beside Dapi in a concrete courtyard on the edge of Jasri Beach. Looking straight ahead, staring at the high seas blowing the sea breeze towards them. The girl wearing the red bendo stared at the open sea with a sad face.


“Go away... may your wish be achieved in Jakarta..,” wander slowly Kemuning. His face was still looking straight ahead.


He looked at the girl sitting next to him. The girl he had been friends with for the past six months. The girl who filled her days after she lost Kinnari. The girl he may have secretly loved. No words were spoken from Dapi's mouth. He did not want to hurt himself and also did not want to hurt the girl who still kept him curious. Intrigued as his intuition continued to search for answers to some questions about this girl.


Six months of their closeness does not mean they know each other well. Dapi never told me about his strength and Dapi also never knew the answer of intuition that always bothers him about Kemuning. Intuition that says that this girl will take a big part in her life in the future.


Of course, Kemuning was very surprised. Several months they were friends, Dapi never mentioned this in their talk, even though almost every day they met at school, he said, even sometimes they go together to let go of fatigue as a student. But... Kemuning was unable to prevent the only male friend who was close to him. He was also a nobody to Dapi, except a friend. He never expressed any more feelings to her.


“Ayo... we go home.. You will also get ready for your departure to Jakarta, in a few days,” Kemuning with a face that puts a bitter smile on his lips. A smile from the mouth of a mature brown-skinned girl, reviewed with great force. The sadness of that smile. The girl who used a red bando stood up, not daring to look at Dapi who was still sitting on concrete cement, on the edge of Jarsi Beach.


Dapi slightly raised his head up to see the movement of Kemuning. He tried to look for the eyes of his friend who for himself was very charming but he did not manage to find what he was looking for. Dapi stood up slowly, approaching Kemuning who had stood his back to Jarsi Beach and said, “I'm sorry, Kemuning..”.


Kemuning looked at the young man who was white, the young man he had known in the past six months. The silent gaze of his eyes was directed at Dapi for only a few seconds. Then he slightly crouched down to take the red backpack from the fabric material. Gently holding the bag to his shoulder. “Ayo...,” invite Kemuning while reaching for Dapi's hand but his eyes look ahead. Staring at the sand of Jarsi Beach which is a silent witness to the pain of his heart at this time.


“I'm fine here.. reach for what you want.. someday we will meet again... Maybe not here, but in the other hemisphere,” in fact while releasing his handrails. The girl walked slowly up to the sand on Jarsi Beach slowly. The footprints coming from the tiny shoes are clearly painted on the sand of Jarsi Beach.


Mournfully.


Haru's.


That's what Dapi feels right now, but he must carry out his mission to save Kinnari and her younger brother, Firman. There are some things in this life that must be sacrificed in order to achieve a desire.
