pancason
Part 190 Strange Lake

Hi all. Loyal readers of Pancasona stories from the past until now. Before I start the story, I'll say hello for a second, yeah. Usually I just read the comments of the reader and then we can interact with each other in the moment only. Sometimes I don't even come. Even so, all the comments of readers I must have read, and very helpful in criticism and advice. With you guys commenting a bit long around the story, it sometimes makes me remember the plot hole or strange things that might happen in the previous part. And because of the comments from you, then in the next part God willing will be better.

I just want to emphasize, if the story of Pancasona is pure fiction, yes, gaes. Where all the stories are imaginary writers only. So about the angel whose power is lost, or if there is something odd that is unacceptable to reason, I will not blame the reader who might comment that goes against my story and my mind.

And, in this story there is no specification of one particular religion. Because stories of angels, demons, and others exist in all religions. And if I specialize in one religion, fear of debate.

Thank you to all who have faithfully read. Support me continue, yes, by giving love, vote, likes and comments a lot.

Yuk, continue the story.

Gio's caravan had already sped away from the city. The hero, who insisted that he did not want to stay in the hospital for long, now looks fine. Although sometimes he often grimaces when the wound in his stomach hurts again. Or if the effect of the drug is exhausted. The stitches that are now in the flat stomach are still not dry and still need good care. And, Nayla is a very considerate nurse. Until sometimes makes Arya jealous to see their closeness.

They stayed at a home stay, because the entire hotel in the city was full. This is a holiday moment and they are in the tourism area. It was not intentional because they had only realized it now.

This home stay is located near a lake. Not only one home stay in this place, but there is almost on every edge of the lake. Between the lake and home stay is only about 20 meters away. Some of the inns look crowded. Many children play on the edge of the lake which is indeed shallow water. The lake is quite large. In the morning, there will be dew that almost covers the lake. By noon, especially if the weather is clear, then the sky will look blue with rows of white clouds that look beautifully soothing. All are supported by the scenery around the lake which is dominated by pine forests that are quite shady and become one of the main attractions for visitors. Those who are bored with the urban atmosphere, will make this place a must-visit tourist destination.

"Want to eat or rest first, huh?" nayla asks the man who is now back to being an ordinary man like the others. He was sitting on the couch feeling his stomach. "Later, Nay," he said, glancing at Arya who now chose to walk out of the house, followed by Gio.

"If so, the bandages are replaced now, yeah?" nayla asked while taking out the P3K box.

"Eum, no, Nay. Just let me," Reject Wira. Feeling uncomfortable with all the attention given by his personal nurse. Well, since Wira was lying weakly in the hospital, Nayla was so considerate. All the needs of the spirit he fulfills. From eating, drinking, medicine and a comfortable bed for the man.

Ellea looked at Nayla and Wira who were getting closer now. He also looks out the door, where Arya is walking embraced by Gio towards the lake that is in front of their home stay. Between the lake and the inn is only separated by a highway that is provided for access to traffic in the place. Abhimanyu and Ellea look at each other, both of whom feel uncomfortable in their group, then signal each other to act, by dividing the task for both parties. Ellea nodded, as if understanding Abhimanyu's intentions. The woman is now in a crowd with Nayla and Wira, who are arguing about the replacement of bandages that Wira feels are not necessary, but it is time to do according to Nayla. "Let me see the wound" said Ellea. Abhimanyu immediately rushed to find Gio and Arya who were already outside.

This afternoon the lake is quite crowded with visitors. Friendly weather makes most people choose to spend time on the edge of the lake. Children play water by the lake, of course accompanied by their parents. There are several wooden chairs in colorful paint twisted along the lake. Usually there will be one long wooden chair for each lodging house. And that's where Gio and Arya spend their afternoon. Abhimanyu hesitated to approach, he still felt alien to the young man who used to be his father. Especially because of the memory of Arya who has not remembered it. It felt foreign and made Abhimanyu uncomfortable. But, he still wanted to continue to be near Arya. He missed, very. He wanted to be able to hug his father and mother tightly. For years he had not done that. But Abi realized that it could not be forced.

The wooden twig under Abi's feet was accidentally stepped on by him. He who was originally about to return to the inn, came to a halt. Because now Gio just called his name, to get closer. "here, Bi. Where the hell are you going? Long time, don't see water. Don't you, lu?" gio asked making Arya's forehead wrinkle, staring at the two men in turn. As if asking for an explanation for Gio's joke just now. Gio turned to Arya who was sitting next to him, "This Abhimanyu loves water. Like beaches, lakes, rivers. And actually it's down from you, yeah. You still like water, right? I wonder. Does different life, also affect your hobbies and likes as well?"

Arya was interested in what they were discussing. Some of the shadows of the past that some time continues to cross in his memory, making him also curious about his life in the past. "How was I?" arya asked doubtfully. Gio, who feels this is an opportunity to restore Arya's memory, is very enthusiastic about telling all the things about the young man from the first time they met, all the traits and characters of Arya in the past. Abhimanyu sat down next to Gio, adding all the less Gio explained about his father.

The three men laughed lightly, especially when one of them said something funny. Either from Abi and Gio who discuss Arya's past, or from Arya in the present.

"It turns out that my father hasn't changed much" Abi said in a warm chat that afternoon. The three of them instantly fell silent as the father's call came out of Abi's mouth. Feeling that his words were a bit strange, Abi then retracted his words. He certainly does not feel good with Arya who is not used to it, and indeed does not remember her. "Republic, Bi ... If you want to call me Dad, I'm. It must be hard, yes, to face the figure who used to be your father, with the limitations of my memory." Aryan's words made Abi's heart rustle. Gio cleared his throat while backing away and leaning on the back of the chair behind them. As if giving space for both fathers and children of different generations to reminisce.

"Eum, but, if it's disturbing .. don't just do it, Ar. I'm sorry I was so excited" explained Abi in a stammering sentence, especially when mentioning Arya's name.

"Eh, I go in first, yeah. I think Ellea needs this assistance power," said Gio who deliberately wanted to give space to the two people. The two did not reply, just silence while releasing the departure of Gio who now began to approach the inn.

"Hm, yeah?"

"How did you live your life after Nayla and I died?' arya asked as she looked at the lake in front of them. Abhimanyu smiled faintly. The question was warm in his heart. He felt sincere, and made himself feel much better over the old wounds.

They finally chatted from heart to heart, while enjoying the air this afternoon in front of the lake. A place that is both favorite. Abhimanyu and Arya do love all the spots related to water. Gio who was staring at the two from a distance then smiled with relief. He felt happy, seeing the two people were able to chat with familiarity. Sometimes they see smiles on both lips.

"Of!' call Ellea while patting the shoulder of the oldest man in this group.

"All! Just ngagetin!" screeched Gio while pressing his own chest.

"Ngapain anyway?" ellea asked as she looked out the window, where Gio was watching the two men at the other end. "Waw, did they just talk to you?" asked Ellea in amazement.

"Who used to be dong, the embodiment," Gio said as he patted his chest. Ellea glanced at the man she already considered like her own father. "What is it about Om Gio that makes them talk like that?" ellea asked in disbelief.

"Yes that!" Ellea looked at Gio in disbelief, then looked back at the two men out there who looked more familiar. "Eh, what hero? Her condition?" Gio now turned to the room where Wira was resting. Nayla who was busy making food, also did not escape his attention.

Ellea turned her head, "hm, it's light, Om. But, yes, it still has to be monitored. Especially wounds. It's still prone. The stitches aren't dry yet."

"But Nayla's a big concern, huh?" Gio's question made Ellea chuckle.

"Indeed so. And from Om knows, that Arya seems jealous" whispered Nayla.

"Huh? Who really are you?!" asked Gio again in disbelief. Ellea nodded confidently and made Gio nod a nod while looking at Arya and Abi outside. "Border!" he's the one who's starting to understand this situation.

The twilight began to disappear from the sky. The atmosphere was now dark, and required all to enter their respective inns. Moreover, because the drizzle that began to come suddenly arrived but intense. The lake that had looked crowded, was now starting to desolate. Some visitors just enjoy the view from the terrace of their respective lodging. Usually there will be a cup of coffee or tea that accompanies them to relax.

Since the chatter on the lake this afternoon, Abi and Arya seemed to be getting closer. This certainly makes a big question mark in Nayla's mind.

Dinner was ready, they began to put themselves on the chairs, the dining table with dishes that had been cooked by the two great women. Tonight, everyone is back on the dinner table. Discuss the things they have experienced and what they will do later. There are still 9 other keys they have to find. The first key they got, almost took the life of the Hero. His power was lost and he became an ordinary man. Again. But they kept holding hands, and kept promising to be together until the end.

However, in their dinner chatter, suddenly there was a scream sound from near the lake. They looked at each other and were curious about what was happening. Everyone immediately ran to the window and even opened the door to check on the screams.

"Why?" gio asked as he pointed towards the lake, where there was a woman crying by the lake. He screamed and pointed to the middle of the dark lake. And there, there was a strange water movement. Turn around in the middle to form a vortex. The men ran towards the lake and examined it.

"What's that?" nayla asked astonishedly, who was still standing in front of the terrace, looking at the men who were looking for the cause of the strange thing there. Ellea then pulls Nayla's hand and invites her to follow their other friend.
