Sweet Night: The Ep. 34

The young man who had white skin, big nosed and sharp looking at the interlocutor who was sitting in front of him. Installing a flat face. The firm shape of its jaw adds seriousness within the face. His body posture is plane, leaned on a bench that is occupied perpendicular. He's very serious. This young man is nothing but the Truth. While the young man sitting in front of her was Artha.

Artha fell silent. Staring straight at the Truth. There was no smile on his face but it still looked dazzling. His face did not display a fierce impression but it was painful to see the beauty of that face. Too good-looking.

"I asked for an explanation, Brother," Hakiki said opening the conversation.

"What do you want to ask?" challenge Artha with a calm face.

Earlier, as promised, Artha called Hakiki a week after the young man collapsed. Call the Truth and ask the Truth to choose where they meet. Artha will tell everything to Hakiki. On condition, Arini can't find out about their meeting. Hakiki agreed, he chose Cafe located in South Jakarta. A cafe away from the crowds in the FX Building. They were at a Korean concept cafe.

"I'm confused where to start, Brother" said Hakiki. This time, he relaxed his shoulders slightly. Down for a second.

"Hmmm.... What about your chest? Still feeling sick?" tanya Artha melted the atmosphere.

"Not anymore."

"Is there something strange?"

"Something? Weirdo? My life's been weird since I met you at 9." The voice is a little high.

"Hm.... So you want to blame me?"

"Not blaming but I ask for an explanation with everything that has happened. So many events that are inexhaustible to me, let alone the past year."

"You're the chosen one, Ki."

"Optional?"

"Yes.the choice. You were given the gift of gaining the power of the Crescent."

"Crescent Moon? What's my strength, brother?"

"I don't know the real power yet, but it has something to do with silver metal."

"Silver?"

Artha just nodded. The young man in front of him was indeed completely confused and repeatedly asked him back questions.

"Explain the source and the prediction of my power, brother. It seems like my brother knows more than me."

"The moon chose you to share her power with her. When we first met, Papa and I knew that you had power. That's why you were kidnapped."

"OKAY. Just dawdle. I cut. So Om who was with you to save me 7 years ago is Papa Arini?" tanya Hakiki. His head slightly advanced forward. His back is no longer in the chair.

"Yes. When did you realize that?"

"Just yesterday, at Arini's birthday party when she called your name on stage."

Artha smiled. Now he is advancing his field, putting both hands on the table. His attitude was relaxed this time. "And since when did you realize I was the Archer of Fire?"

"First time I met my sister at home. Brother blinked when he wanted to go to the room."

"Why do you recognize me with the blink of an eye?"

"Sister was the man I adored from the age of 9 when he saved me from kidnapping. I only recognize the blink of your eyes and your back. But 7 years ago, your back wasn't on a sheet right now," she explained.

Artha smiled. It seemed that he felt proud of what Hakiki had said. I'm not proud of what. Is it because of his devotee or because of his broad back. I don't know.

"I do have a habit of meeting someone's eyes in a matter of seconds, my eyes will blink" Artha said.

"What kind of habit is that?" ask the Truth in your heart. "Isn't that called the Charm Spread," he murmured again. But he doesn't want to talk about it.

"I prayed to God to see you again but my hope was dashed when my father got a job in Jakarta because I thought that my brother was in Medan, not in Jakarta. I feel sad."

"Your father got a job in Jakarta not by chance."

"What?" Frowning his forehead.

"Yes. Papa who found your father a job in Jakarta and told the BUMN President Commissioner to accept your father for his recommendation" explained Artha straightforwardly.

" so. My papa.... Papa Arini's...." Strayedness. Sentences are disjointed.

"No. They don't know each other. Papa was trying to protect you because your protector, who was assigned by papa, was killed. The man who kidnapped you, is trying to get back to doing the stunt again. Then, Papa took the initiative to move you to Jakarta so that we could take care of you more effectively."

Hottest. His mouth is wide open. His facial expression is very funny. So that's what caused his family to move to Jakarta, he thought.

Artha almost laughed at the boy's face, but was arrested. It was a serious moment, he thought.

"And fate has brought you together with Arini" Artha added.

"That's set too?"

"No. It goes by itself. I found out about it a month after you guys became friends. And I reported to Papa about the coincidence and she was grateful that I could take care of you and keep Arini at the same time. Because you're together often."

"I'm confused to ask because there's so much I want to ask you, sister."

"Just ask. We have plenty of time" replied Artha a little elegantly.

"About my strength, brother."

"As I said, when you were kidnapped, Big Boss knew that you would have the power and he wanted to doctrine you from small to be an accomplice. Is it not easy to poison the mind of a child and the doctrine that has been given will continue to stick until he grows up. That doctrine is wrong."

Their conversation stopped. The female waiter came with two drinks of their order. The waiter smiled, then placed the Avocado Float towards Artha and Strawberry Float towards Hakiki according to their order earlier.

"You better know the power that is in you. I can only see during this observation that the Crescent Moon is related to silver metal and your power is in silver metal and is sourced from the Crescent."

"It's been almost a year now that I've felt an electric shock all over my body, especially my hands when it's near silver."

"Yes, we knew about it that's why I purposely gave Arini a silver ring to prove our theory."

Hanging out for a number of times. He doesn't think about it. They are very good at planning everything.

Indeed, Arini had worn a silver ring during Class 3 Junior High, in the final semester and actually became aware of the incident if he was sensitive to silver metal, not other metals. But Arini only once wear the ring, the next day no longer worn Arini.

"Yes yes, Sis," cried the Truth.

Artha smiled slightly. "That way you know that silver is a sensitive metal for your body at the time, right?" artha. "Take the bright side" he continued.

"When? Now, you don't think I'm sensitive to silver anymore."

" No."

Entirely surprised. Closer his head to Artha, "Don't tell me that Brother and Om now know that I'm not sensitive to silver anymore."

Artha just smiled a little. The drink in front of him.

"It's magical for you guys. I feel stripped naked," Hakiki replied half-jokingly. Now he laughed but was forced.

"Predict me and papa, you will get strength at the age of 16 years," explained Artha.

"That's about 3 weeks away," he murmured inwardly. Both of her eyes were staring at Artha.

"And that's about 3 weeks away" Artha said.

He widened his eyes which were already big. Not expecting the words spoken by his interlocutor.

"Not to be surprised. Small things we can know especially your date of birth. That's the easiest thing to find." Cue. Sipping back the drink in front of him.

Only the mangosteen sign approves. This time I smiled at Artha. That smile was so tempting.

"That night, when I passed out, I had not thanked you, Brother. Brother saved my life for the second time, "it's real slow. "Something's going on with my chest, brother. Looks like you should know that."

Artha put on a curious face. His eyes were slightly sharp looking at the Truth.

See right and left. Checking other visitors whether to notice them or not. When he felt safe and no one noticed, he unbuttoned his shirt, the top two buttons.

Artha glares. "Hey... What are you doing?" tanyanya whispered softly. Attitude guarded all this time, lost due to the look of his funny face.

I didn't ask Artha's question. Keep unbuttoning his shirt, slightly undressing it so that it shows the left chest.

The real quickly closed back his chest and buttoned up his clothes.

"illness?" ask Artha worried.

"Yes, it hurts, I passed out feeling it."

"No. I mean, is it still sick?"

"Never again. Only once when it appeared that night."

Artha nodded. "We'll see what happens next. I'll try to help you find your strength."

"How long has my brother been stalking me?"

"Since you moved to Jakarta. But not too often, only 1 year ago I routinely visited your house every Crescent Moon appeared. It was Papa's order that I might know about your condition."

"I feel like I'm being followed by other people, almost every day."

"People who follow you are not only me, our opponents are also following you. They're not planning to kidnap you now, but they're trying to kill you."

"What?" The True Voice.

"Yes. Not just you, me and a few others we'll recruit, including Arini."

"Will?"

"Yes, Arini. I just realized that Arini will also have the power when the release of the Pigeon at the birthday party yesterday. Did you see that?"

"Sister, the butterfly?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I didn't see it once, but it was the second time."

"You saw from the photo you took, right? The butterfly was caught on camera."

"Lohs... Brother, do you know?"

"I also saw it in the photo when we first met at home."

"But...."

"I can see the shadow of the photo without having to be in black and white, Ki," explained Artha. This time casually called out the True Name.

Herself silent. Artha's power seemed to be enormous. The truth concludes that because only highly-educated people can see the shadows with the naked eye.

"Do you know about this, brother?"

"Papa knew longer than me, may have known from little Arini but did not tell me. Papa said that Arini is a drop from Lady Raffles because that's why when at Bogor Botanical Garden Monument, Arini was acting strange."

"Do you know about that too? Did Arini tell you about that?"

"No. I was there with you guys."

"God...." The truth is just breathing. Squeeze his back that field on the body of the chair. Feeling cheated all this time. It turns out that his life is in the shadows by Artha. He didn't need to be irritated anymore with the young man before him. It's free. That thought.

Artha smiled at the True Action. It was as if he knew what the young man in front of him had in mind.

"So, what should we do next, brother?"

"You focus on your strength. You're gonna need help to get that power and I'm ready to help."

"Does it hurt like this if the power comes out, brother?" ask the real plain.

"Not really. I never felt any pain when I realized there was a power within. Papa guided me from childhood until I gained my first strength at the age of 10."

"10 years?"

"Yes... I was good at archery at 8 years old and at 10 years old my fingers were burning fire and a year later I could control that fire wherever I wanted."

"Well.great," is real Awe. His mouth is wide open. Eyes buying. " So, when you saved me, what age did you have?"

"12 years."

"Well," cried the Truth. He was fascinated by Artha's story.

"Everything takes process and enjoy the process."

"Why am I chosen, brother?"

"If the question is not my power to answer it. God who wills. We just live this destiny with sincerity. That's Papa said. Sometimes I also think that my life is like no other normal human being. Every day I keep an eye on some of the people who have to be recruited and come face to face with Big Boss' accomplices. My life is not normal like other teenagers, I also do not have close friends like teenagers in general. I feel like my life is far from normal but I have to keep going."

"How many people will be recruited, brother?"

"Maybe 7 people including me. You're the sixth person who'll find strength from the person in our custody."

"That means there are four other people besides me and brother?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where are they?"

"There was. Around Jakarta. We're just waiting for 1 more person to get his powers, then get together."

"What exactly is our mission, brother?"

"Big Boss has also recruited some people who are as good as him to destroy the humans in this world, slowly but surely. There's an attack coming but we don't know exactly when it's going to happen, which is why papa and his team are trying to figure out what Big Boss is planning."

"When can I meet the others, brother?"

"We'll see. There's time. We are waiting for one more person who is still outside Jakarta and is still under surveillance. He's two years younger than you."

Absolutely shocked. Means the teams that want to be recruited are teenagers. "We are still young Brother, is the fourth person whose strength has appeared older than brother?"

"No. I'm the oldest of you."

Right back to stupefied. Artha's age range is around 19 years, meaning that if younger than Artha then others around the age of 16 to 18 years. Why they recruited a team that was all teenagers.

"Don't think too much of the others. Right now you are focused on your strength. Papa and his team believe with us that we can be relied upon."

Artha's phone rang. It quickly reached into the bag of pants and stuck the communication device into his ear after sliding one menu.

"Yes. Okay. Brother get there. Where are you, Dapi? Okay. Half an hour later you get there" he replied.

Just keep quiet hearing that conversation.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" challenge Artha.

"We should see you often, brother. So I'll ask my brother next time."

"Yes. I was in a hurry too. There's another need," he explained.

"Superhero susan?" ask a little whisper. His head was stuck forward.

Artha just smiled at the True's behavior. He's risen. "You take care of yourself. You have to learn to be more alert at this time because many enemies are eyeing. Brother is always by your side in times of need."

Actually stand up too. Walked closer to Artha. Then spontaneously embraced Artha. "Thank you, Brother. Thank you for saving my life twice. I'm proud of you. I've been looking for you for years and I've finally found you. I'll try to avenge your services that saved me."

Actually Artha did not want to be in this moment but she also dissolved in the dramatic attitude of the young man in her arms." Brother always thinks of you after the events of 7 years ago. When you move to Jakarta, my brother's heart is a little relieved. You turned out to be fine and big brother could see you at any moment."

Artha released a hug from Hakiki, holding the young man's shoulder." You're like my sister, like Arini's twin sister. So our hearts are close. It's been unified even though our mission hasn't been underway. Take care of yourself for me Right, because one day you can't protect you and keep Arini with you." Artha's voice was slightly restrained. Don't want to shed tears in front of the Truth. Pulling the True Body into his arms back.

"OKAY. See you's. We'll tell you again." Quickly releasing his body from the True embrace. Get going immediately. Suddenly, turn. "Oh, yeah. Pay for the drinks Brother. Later brother change." Wherever you go immediately.

I smiled at Artha. Finally there is a little airy feeling in the heart. He had found the hero he had been looking for all along. The hero was nearby.
