My First Love Is My King
CHAPTER 18

"Yaudah the food was spent first yes.mbok want to help children in the kitchen.. " Excited Rukmi as she passed away from the dining table.

Ipen and Lily enjoyed all the food in front of her. Their smiles and laughter seemed to expand, not knowing what they were discussing in their jest.

Finally, Ipen and Lily pampit after eating out all the menus they choose. They head to the kitchen door to find Rukmi's mbok, then the figure they are looking for finally appears.

"Have you finished eating, son ?"

"Yes mbok. We're gonna pay a shit."

"Where are you guys going ?"

"It's just that Lily's walking around on this island."

"Be careful, both of you.! Don't forget to come by here again."

"Yes mbok definitely. The food was the most steady" Lily gave her two thumbs up.

On travel..

The two of them walked the road full of rice fields and lush trees. There was a mountain shadow so clearly lined up neatly in front of them.

"Trus where are we going Pen ?" Ask Lily while continuing to walk and enjoy nature.

In this era the only vehicles operated by wooden ships and horse carriages. And most of them prefer to walk because the vehicle fares are quite draining.

" You tired, huh ly ? " Task Ipen to the girl next to him.

"No. I'm not tired of pen. The view here is great, pen ?." Lily's eyes are glazed.

"Yes dong. We're going to my grandmother's village Lily. We'll find a horse-drawn carriage soon to get there."

"It's my first time riding this train." Lily was amazed

"Where in your village is there no Lily's horse-drawn carriage ?"

"There is. But I never got on it. Yeah, 'cause we've never been anywhere."

Really a very innocent girl.

'How poor is Lily's life to the point of never feeling this simple?.' Think of Ipen in the heart.

Ipen was also born in a lower middle family but all the needs of Ipen were met by both parents. While Lily had to give up her childhood and adolescence because she had to finance the treatment of her mother who was often sickly.

"Where are your goals young people ?" The driver's voice sounded from the front.

"We want to go to the village under the mountain slope sir" replied Ipen.

"But you can only lower it near the river, son ?. Because it can not be passed by the father's train" explained the coachman.

"Yes sir is okay, I know there are rivers and suspension bridges that can only be passed on foot" Imbuj Ipen.

The horse-drawn carriage dropped them off somewhere. Ipen very carefully helped Lily down from the horse carriage. And it is true to reach the destination of the house of the ancestors of Ipen, they had to cross the river through a suspension bridge made of wood and rope that swayed along 5 meters.

The distance from the bridge and the river is quite high and steep. It made Lily scared to go through it.

"Is there no other way here ?" Lily began to panic.

"There is no li.. Don't be afraid li.. I'll keep holding your hand and protect you from crossing this bridge." Ipen Speech

'I also want to accompany and protect you to get through in this harsh life.' The words of the Ipen flow in the heart.
