Powerful Farmer

Joan was surprised to see the number of soldiers deployed to look for her, even her father, Master Lung and the four elders Ji, Ro, Lu, Pat were there as well. One side he was also moved to see the sincerity of Andi in looking for him.

Andi held Joan's hand tightly as if afraid of losing Joan again. Mistress Be tells Joan that as Andi loses her rationality when she learns of Joan's disappearance, she fears that Joan has not been found that night, Andi may fall into depression.

They all immediately returned to Genteng village that night as well. The entire village of Genteng lived with the lights on and almost all the villagers were not asleep, they were all very anxious to hear their first lady disappear.

So when the news that Joan had been found and they were on their way back to the village of Genteng, everyone stood crowded at the village gate.

The beam of flares fired from the cliffs of Harau valley signals the arrival of the returning troop of soldiers. The villagers who were already prepared, no longer standing like a horde, they lined up neatly, lined up on both sides of the road to welcome Joan's arrival.

The roar of the horse's legs rang out from a distance and was approaching the village gate, the banners of the Krikilan city guards in the front row, followed by a horse carriage boarded by Joan and Lady Lam Be Mu. Andi returned on his own horse parallel to Joan's carriage.

The sound of screaming cheers was heard along the village road Genteng. Joan was moved to learn that the villagers had been standing all day waiting for the news.

Arriving at the Genteng village hall, Joan and Lady Be got off the carriage. Joan was immediately greeted by her mother and sisters, her mother and youngest sister could not hold back her tears and they took turns to embrace her.

After several exchanges of words of greeting from the head of the Roof Tile Village Authority Agency and the Head of the Flying Sword School, they returned to their respective residences. Madame Be was immediately escorted to her inn. Although the Flying Sword school entourage came as official guests but they still paid a fee for consumption and accommodation as long as they were in the village of Genteng.

At home, Joan is surrounded by her family who actually want to hear about her experiences while in the capital but now they are more interested in listening to the story of her loss in the Pine forest.

At first Joan thought that what she saw was an illusion, how could he exist on a large land suddenly on an island but then he realized that the thin fog was a portal that connected him to another world or place.

Joan pulled out a painting of the family of three. At the sight of the painting, Joan's mother suddenly covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes glazed over and she looked at her husband blankly.

Mr. Joko looked at the painting, he sighed strongly as if to release the burden on his heart. He stared at everyone who was there, his wife, Andi, to his three children, finally ending up in Joan.

"Everything, I'll admit it now".

They all in the room looked at him, not understanding what to say except his wife. Joan felt tension, her chest a little sore. Andi who was beside her felt her tension, she held Joan's hand to strengthen her. Andi feels there's something secret that's going to open tonight. Mr. Joko sighed again before continuing his words.

"Joan is not really our son".

Joan's mother couldn't hold herself back anymore, she cried and left the room. Joan's three sisters did not understand the meaning of her father's words, they were just stunned to hear that.

"Well, Joan's right, you're not our real son. On our way out of the capital, we met a couple who were carrying their baby. They looked tired and uninspired, they were on the run from being chased by their enemies."

Joan was silent to hear it, she actually wanted to run to get her mother but she wanted to listen to her father's continuation. He really wanted to hear the clarity of who he was.

"Your father and mother entrusted you to us, at that time we did not have a child, so we gladly accept you but they say that you are a bit slow in responding and they are worried that you will suffer from mental retardation. But your mother fell in love when you saw you, so you ignored that. We accept you with pleasure. Joan is indeed your real name given to you by your biological parents".

"The pendant you were wearing was given to you by your parents before they left you. They promised to pick you up if they got rid of their enemies, but to this day they never came back".

"Pardon us Joan, actually we have selfish desires, we really love you so much that we don't want them to come back to pick you up".

Joan was a little angry to hear the honest words of Mr. Joko, if they did not want her parents to pick her up again was not it indirectly, mr. Joko and his wife want his biological parents not to survive the pursuit of his enemies.

But Joan could not be angry with them, so she was very grateful. Even though Joko's last words sounded selfish, it was because they loved him so much.

She had mental retardation since infancy, how troublesome it was to keep such a baby, she was late to talk and walk. Her parents already understood her condition but they were still willing to accept and take care of her wholeheartedly. How could he be angry with them.

"Thank you dad for your honesty. I love you, I'll still be your son even though I might find my real parents".

Joan hugged her father while saying that. Her sisters cried and all came to embrace her.

"Brother Joan don't leave us, hiks hyks".

"No brother will not leave you, you will remain my sisters".

Joan let go of her embrace, she wiped her tears and walked towards her mother's room. Her mother was sitting on the side of the bed, crying while cupping her face on a pillow.

Joan walked up to her mother. Joan knelt in front of her, she took her mother's hand and kissed her while holding back her cries. Joan's mother, who felt her hands being pulled and kissed by Joan, lifted her head from the pillow, looked at Joan in disbelief, thinking Joan would get angry when she heard the truth about her biological parents.

"I'm sorry Joan's mother".

"No mother, Joan apologizes, Joan has been a problem for a long time. Joan loves her mother. Mother will forever be Joan's mother no matter what happens".

Joan answered her mother's words while continuing to kiss her mother's hand. Mom immediately lifted Joan's body. Joan quickly stood up. They hugged, Joan's mother was very happy to hear Joan's words. She kissed Joan's face.

"Mother loves you so much, you'll always be our first child".

"Yes mom, I will always be your son. I don't have to be sad anymore. I will forever be your son".

That night was destined to be a very long night. The next day everyone woke up from their sleep with a circle of pandas in their eyes.

Good night, don't sleep too late so no panda eyes tomorrow. If you can try to see also my first novel with the title Second Chance.
