Memories of a Thousand Years
Findings

A teenager - Balapati Wiriya's student - knocks on Rinaya's bedroom door. Carrying a tray filled with food. Rinaya gladly let her in and sat down. "You are Dhika's student. Come eat with me!"

He flicked his hand "Ah no. no need. This is all for Miss."

"Current. Don't call me that. I'm Rinaya. You, what's your name?"

"Call me Danu"

"alright. Danus. Let's eat together."

"Thank you for the offer. Emm, if I may ask, what does this lady have to do with Balapati Wiriya?"

"I?. Hm. Old friend."

"Hm. Looks like Miss is an important person. Because he doesn't usually ask us to serve everyone's needs. Even he asked us to protect Miss no matter what."

"really? you don't have to care about me. I'm fine. I don't need guarding. that's overkill."

"But looking at the situation the other day it looks like Miss is in danger."

Rinaya stopped chewing her food and kept the spoon she had been wearing. Then he stared intently at Danu, "Are you looking for information about me?"

Danu shook both hands. "Ah. no no Miss. That's not what I mean."

"Then what? aren't you afraid I'm telling Dhika this?"

Danu smiled back. "Miss seems to have gotten very close to Balapati Wiriya. Even Miss called him by his little name."

"Speak what you are. I don't understand." Rinaya went back to eating her food.

"I've been with Balapati since childhood. So I know a lot about him, but for fifteen years I've never seen him like this."

"What-like?"

"He's mine - that word he never said to anyone...He never smiled that sincerely, either.he was never as worried as that. In fact he never took the trouble of catching a thief to stand trial. He never cared about anything that wasn't his business."

"he's like that? sounds like everyone else.I even stone heard this from you. Is she okay??"

"Had he not been like that before?".

"Of course not so. Hearing this from you I think something made him change." Rinaya was clingy thinking that. There must have been a lot of things that happened after that war. Maybe one of them could make Dhika's personality change. "eh Danu. the other day, did you see the person who threw the chopstick needle at me?"

Danu shook her head "I don't see anyone, neither do the others."

"Does Dhika know?"

"Eitherway. It doesn't seem to." either."

"mmm. Uh Danu. Accompany me around. I told him I wouldn't run around alone."

Danu nodded. "Where are you going?"

"Just walk around here.The last time I went alone I was almost at the brat Wijaya slash."

"Wijaya's son?"

"Mrs. Subterfuge. Her sister Haris."

"Ah Miss better not try to deal with her. They're a little hard to deal with."

"I'm not afraid." Rinaya moved out of her chair. "Come"

"Eh! Now?"

"Over again..."

***

Rinaya walks down the Shopping Center. It looks very crowded. There are many merchants along the way. Danu followed from behind. "Miss wants to buy something?"

No wonder he asked like that. looking at the window Rinaya who seemed to be looking for something to buy. "Huh? Not at all. I'm just interested to see it" She occasionally stops at an accessories store. Sort through some items and look at them very carefully. Then put it back in its original place "I don't have any money anyway."

"You tell me if Miss wants to buy something. I'll pay for it."

"Huh? That's not necessary."

"really. It's okay, after all, this is an order from Balapati Wiriya."

"That's not necessary. That's so much of an exaggeration." Arriving just across the street he saw a cart selling drinks. His eyes immediately sparkled seeing that. Curious about the taste. The drink looks so refreshing. Like waving a hand to buy. So tempting. "Then please buy me that drink."

Danu nodded "Well, wait here."

While waiting for Rinaya to see some merchandise there. It sounded like someone was calling him. 'Nirmala'

He looked everywhere looking for the source of the voice. The sound suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared along with the ripple of the shopping center there. The bustling atmosphere did not drown out the sound of his calling. 'Nirmala'

He's still looking. He's stepping his legs. Little running. Follow that voice.

'Nirmala'

'haha'

'I'm here'

"Who is that??"

'Are you lost again?'

"Wood?? You're that?"

"Wood?? Where're you?"

Nirmala recognized the voice. A bright voice full of laughter. But there is no figure of Bayu anywhere. Until he realizes he is separated from Danu. In the middle of the crowd, he felt his head hurt. The voice that called out to him did not also go away. was not found.even more and more closer. The longer it takes to make him nervous and scared. The sound grew louder in the ears. He covered his ears. The movement of the crowd there increasingly makes him dizzy until he squashed down.

'Nirmala. Nirmala. Nirmala come. Come then. Nirmala.'s.'

"Stop!! Please!! Don't play me. Stop" Rinaya cried withstanding the pain in her head and ears. The voice was clearly not the voice of Bayu anymore.

'Rinaya!! I'm fine' A sentence from the baby's voice stops the other sounds. As soon as he opened his eyes he was surrounded by many people. Looked at him with a strange look. It was as if they were looking at a madman. Rinaya got up and ran. I don't know where the destination is. He wants to avoid the crowd.

Such a thing was actually not the first time he had experienced. After he woke up in the hospital, several times the sound of the voice appeared. I don't know where it came from. That makes him a little crazy.

Rinaya was sitting on a lonely street. Not far from where it was before.

"Miss. Miss" Danu patted her on the shoulder. The look on his face was very worried.One of his hands was holding the drink he had just bought.

"Ande... I can't seem to wander around on my own."

"Then why did Miss run away."

"it's okay. This time I didn't like the crowd. Where to get to Bintuni?"

"Towards there."

Rinaya stepped away.

"Eh. Miss you can't leave now. We have to wait for Balapati Wiriya to return."

"I don't have time. I have to get my stuff."

"Let's go with you!" Dylan exclaimed arriving from behind.

"Eh. Signore. It can't be like that. I'm afraid it'll make balapati angry"

"Current. You come with me."

"But but...."

Rinaya clasped his arm and dragged him along.

Danu, Rinaya and Dylan go together to Bintuni. Of course Dylan had his own goals because that was what he was willing to deliver.

arriving there Rinaya was astonished to see the situation, which had been full of corpses and blood. Now all clean neatly arranged back. As if there had never been any event.

Dylan "Are you not in the wrong place? there's nothing here. You really showed up here? You sure?"

Danu "Slightly smelled a faint smell of blood. I'm sure they've cleaned it up."

Rinaya "is this not an important place for research? why clean up so quickly?"

Dylan "Really. Like someone's hiding something."

Rinaya stepped her foot where she had appeared. Then he went to the next place where he was hiding. Behind the statue of the Goddess was a tightly shut window. He opened the window. "I ran out this window." He jumped through the window and stopped afterwards. Dylan followed his movements. Danu was just standing behind the window.

"What happened after that?" Danu seemed to be curious about what Rinaya experienced.

Dylan and Rinaya saw a footprint. Dinky. The size of Rinaya's legs at this time. With a little red stain on it.

Rinaya "Do you think they found this trail too?"

Dylan "Maybe"

Rinaya walked away from the building. Dylan followed. So is Danu.

Danu "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Dylan "We'll just follow"

The longer Rinaya's steps faster.from Walking slowly now he runs. As if I was worried about something. He traced his place back. He's headed where his stuff is stored. He rushed to dismantle the place where his belongings were buried. There's important stuff he has to get. Especially she needs the medicine she put in her bag.

Rinaya is agitated "No! Where's my stuff?"

Dylan "What's wrong with your stuff?"

Rinaya "I hid all my stuff here."

Danu "Is that really important?"

Rinaya "You don't understand! This stuff is not from this era. Fifteen years ago, because I could read the alphabet I was accused of being an eye. In my bag, I kept all the records of what I remembered back then."

Danu "but here still uses kawi."

Rinaya "that's why my medicine is in the bag anyway. I gotta get my bag back."

Dylan "If they understand the contents of your bag they'll likely be more and more eager to find you. At that time, only a few people learned the alphabet. If now they had someone who could read it. They'll catch you soon.

Rinaya "I really need my medicine more than anyone else. It's just....." He was silent for a moment and continued his story. "Maybe they will feel sure if the one who is called is Nirmala. All the contents in the bag are very representative. It can even convince them." Rinaya crouched down and held her chin. "stupid me. I drew a Jade of light in the note. Now they're gonna be more convinced that the Jade is on me."

Dylan "It's very clever of you to put such an important item in a place like this."

Rinaya's. "If I had brought it with me, it would have been discovered right then and there. My position is really like an egg on a horn."

Dylan "It's been lamented however it can't change things."

They're back home. Take a horse carriage ride. They had to quickly get to the inn before Dhika came. He would be angry if he knew they were going far away.

Danu "about who found it?"

Rinaya "Oh. talked about it. Why are you looking for me. Dylan's? The one who insisted that I die was Boris. The day Boris was trying to catch me too."

Dylan "The Wilis family always tried to call you back because the Jade of Light.of course this time was the same."

Rinaya "Mn's. What about the other side? I'm sure the one who chased me the other day was from two different camps. What is Patih Karna's subordinate? Are you on his side?"

Dylan "Right now I can't tell you anything. There must be something big they want to know."

Rinaya "All right."

Dylan "You don't want to try to run away from me?"

Rinaya "I don't think it's necessary."

Dylan "You sure?"

Rinaya "I don't think you're going to harm your savior.hehe" She can easily guess Dylan's mind. During the chase Dylan even helped Rinaya escape from the soldiers. At the time, she did not know who Rinaya really was.

Rinaya "If the royal investigator finds my bag, where do you think they're taking him?"

Dylan "Come. Aren't you tired of thinking about that all day?"

Rinaya pursed her lips. "I need my medicine."

Danu "Miss, are you sick? Nantis etelah until I'll banch the healer."

Rinaya sighed. "no need. My illness is not something that people are used to."

Danu "Then what sick lady?"

Rinaya "Sick. Illness of the madman."

Danu "...."

Rinaya "Ah you won't understand."

***

The night is getting quieter. The streets are no longer crowded. Even with a horse carriage. They came home very late. They went back to the inn. There was no sign of Dhika in every room they rented. Rinaya calmly returned to her room. And shut the door.

"Have enough fun?"

"Well..." Rinaya was shocked to hear that voice flatly. Someone was sitting in a chair reading a book. His eyes were still on the book.

"Dhika's. You almost made me die a hanger." Rinaya sighed holding onto her chest that was pounding fast.

Dhika stands "Rest we'll leave tomorrow."

Rinaya "Departing? Where's where?"

Dhika "Wiriya family residence"

Rinaya's face dimmed "Ah I don't want to go there. I'm just here."

Dhika "Why? Is there something you're afraid of?"

Rinaya "I think it's enough for me to die fifteen years ago.I don't want to meet people in the past. I'm already tired. I just want to find Bayu. Even though I know the possibilities are small. But it's better than having to tease back the problems that have passed."

Dhika understands Rinaya no longer wants to make the atmosphere worse. Meeting people in the past may indeed make old problems re-raised. But Dhika also knows the problem in the past until now is still unsolved.

Dhika "Sit down"

Rinaya sits on a chair and Dhika Pin sits back in her chair. "Don't scold me." Rinaya was increasingly reluctant to see the flat expression of the Balapati. Dhika looks very mature after all. Fifteen years older than the last time they met. And it made Rinaya feel like a child in front of an adult.

Dhika "I'm not angry. I'd like to ask. You really want to find Bayu?"

Rinaya "I don't have a purpose right now. I have to make sure of something. Make sure that Bayu is okay."

Dhika "Rinaya's. Now everyone knows that the Jade that was taken by Boris at that time was a fake. Someone found a bag buried under a tree. The bag contained some items, and a note pictured Jade of light."

Rinaya heard that. "That's Tasku. Who found him?"

Dhika "I know you came home this late because you went back there. You're overdue. Palace investigators found it first."

"Where is that now?"

"The Central Bureau of Investigation. They're researching all your stuff."

"Can I get it back?"

Dhika "In the bag there is also a box containing drugs. You need that?" Dhika asked that but Rinaya did not answer at all. "So your goal now is to reclaim your goods? Or still want to find Bayu?"

Rinaya whines "Dhika why don't you bring back my stuff. I need that medicine."

Dhika "In that meeting it was decided that they would look for you."

Rinaya frowned. "alright. I don't need any of that. I'm gonna find Bayu." Rinaya really doesn't want to deal anymore with the problem. Even the medicine he needed.

Dhika "Well. I'll accompany you. I'll help you. I'll protect you. If you want to find Bayu. On one condition."

"Condition? Why use all conditions. You don't want to find your own best friend?"
