RICH PRANAJA HEIR TO TIRTANALA
EPS 71 GOBI DESERT

EPS 71 GOBI DESERT

The sun was so stinging over the desert. The wind that blows hard carries dust and sand everywhere. Dancing is free in a quiet space, with no trees blocking its movements. Because without adequate water, life prefers to go. Find a more comfortable place to stay.

No one can survive in nature that hard. There are only a few trees growing. Cactus is a type of plant that is able to grow in the environment as hard as any. The body is not leafy because the leaves will only spend the reserves of water in the body. In a minimalist life, the Cactus chooses an effective life instead of indulging in arrogance. Even though he still let the beautiful flowers keep blooming, only to attract the arrival of the beetles.

‘Suit..suit..suit..’.

From a distance there was the sound of people whistling. Singing the rhythm of the song ‘Patience’ from rock group Gun’s N Roses.

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt

You're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow

It'll work itself out fine.

All we need is just a little patience

Said, sugar, make it slow

And we came together fine

All we need is just a little patience

(patience)

A cute-faced young man. His body was towering, dressed all in black. Covering his mouth and nose with a black mask as well, it seemed to waddle casually through the harshness of the desert nature. The T-Shield 313216 protective suit she wears keeps her body temperature stable. Moreover, the hot temperatures in this desert can still be tolerated human skin.

The shirt was designed so that he could live in nature as hard as he could. In the cold areas, he gives warmth. On the contrary in hot areas like the one he was going through right now, the clothes provided coolness. Even in space, the shirt can keep the composition of oxygen in the blood grains awake. So he can live in space without breathing apparatus.

Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah

need a little patience, yeah

Pranaja walked alone. Whether it was being lonely or thinking of someone, his lips continued to hum. Sing a song with his favorite band. Every now and then he sees a google map on his advanced phone, making sure he's not misguided. After descending from the Allbush Mountains, then passing through the Altai mountains, he was now crossing the Gobi desert. The second largest desert in the world.

The Gobi is a desert region that borders the bamboo curtain country and Mongolia to the south. The desert basin is bordered by the Altai mountains as well as the Mongolian grasslands to the North and the Tibetan plateau to the Southwest. In Mongolian, Gobi means ‘ very large and very dry. In the history of the Gobi is recorded as part of the Mongol empire.

His steps quietly approached the cactus trees. Cut off some young cacti. Peeled his skin, then washed it with desert dust to remove the mucus. He kept it quiet for a while. After the mucus is gone, he peeled again until it looks the flesh. He cut it into pieces and heated it in the sun for a while. The meat of the hot fruit was sprinkled with salt and pepper powder and then eaten.

Hmmm.lumayan delicious. Maybe because of hunger or because there is no other food. The meat contained water that could quench his thirst.

“Toloooonggg..

Suddenly a voice so weak caught his ear. Pranaja stood up. For a moment his head turned. Determine the direction from which the moaning sounds are coming. After being certain he immediately ran, his movements nimble towards the source of the sound. An old man, lying weakly in the desert.

“Aduh..please.I am thirsty,” her voice is almost gone.

“Maybe this grandpa got robbed,” his inner self.

Then check again slowly, all the vital signs are still good. Breath, pulse, back of the head, body temperature is still normal. Maybe he just needs a bite. She squeezed the cactus into the guy's mouth. Pretty good, get a few drops. The person immediately coughed, then slowly opened his eyes. Staring at Pranaja's face for quite a while, before his lips smiled.

“Thank you young man you helped me,” said the man.

Pranaja nodded with a smile.

“Ehm, briefly yes cake, I will make medicine for you.”

Without waiting for an answer from the grandfather, he immediately stood up and returned to where the cactus trees had been. He took some of his young ones. After that he went back to the grandfather's body.

“Hold a little yes cake,” he said while crouching.

He took the medicinal herbs from his bag. The dried fig powder he bought from a Chinese healer before passing through the Gobi desert. The powder was mixed with water droplets of cactus. Then it was placed over the wound. The old man's face grinned. Maybe because of the pain. However, not long after, the blood stopped flowing.

“Sorry yes cake. I'll carry grandpa.”

Then with one lift the grandfather's body was placed on his shoulders. He walked in search of a shady place. It is very difficult to find large trees or thickets of shrubs in the middle of this desert. Almost half a day, he finally found a fairly lush Acacia tree.

Pranaja was very happy. Acacia tree roots store a lot of water content that can be drunk. Put grandfather's body under the tree. Then he started digging. After finding a large enough root, cut it. Behind the roots of the plant above the dried pumpkin, water flowed into it. The rest of the water in the root was given to the grandfather.

“Drink little by little cake,” he said.

The old man took the acacia root from Pranaja's hand. Then drink the rest of the water a few sips. After drinking, he looked at Pranaja's face. His gaze was full of thanks.

“Who are you young. You are so strong and clever,” asked the grandfather.

Apparently he noticed what Pranaja was doing.

“My name is Pranja kek,” the answer is short.

Grandpa was surprised. Apparently he remembered something.

“So you're the young man nicknamed All Know it?”

Pranaja smile.

“Where does grandpa know?”

“I heard it from the highland people.”

Pranaja gave the acacia root containing the water to the grandfather again.

“Drink again cake. Spend it all, let your body come back strong. After that let me take care of your wounds.”

The grandfather was really amazed by his helper angel. Amazing, he said in his heart. Still as young as that master various kinds of science.
