Like the previous days, Roni began his activities, starting from a morning bath, breakfast, then he had to go to the market to sell mangoes from his garden. Before going to the market, Roni also picked up Evelyn and Elan. The three of them were always together when going to the market. Equally help parents to earn a penny. They are also not much help other than having to sell in the market. The only way to keep them eating.
Roni, Evelyn, and Elan were now walking along the path. They came out of the village to the middle people's territory. It takes a long time, but they remain patient and do not complain. Living a hard life since childhood makes them never know the word surrender. It has been educated early on by their parents to always fight for a glorious future. They hope their parents. It's not easy, but they keep trying to make dreams come true.
"Today I don't bring food for lunch at the market" Elan told Evelyn and Roni.
"Look, Roni who every day does not bring food for lunch alone, never talks like that." Evelyn mocked Elan. He looked at Roni and Elan in turn.
It is true, Roni rarely bring food for lunch. He often bought bread using a little money from trade. Or if you have to, Roni will eat a mango to prop up his stomach even though he is not fully full. Sometimes Evelyn fed Roni half her food. And Roni remains grateful for his lack of circumstances.
"Yes, I know. But I'm just telling you guys," Elan replied and snorted.
"Just the same. If you want food, just talk. There is no need for half-and-half" Evelyn sneered. Then he went back to talking, "I happened to bring a lot of food. We can eat together."
"What right?" elan asked in disbelief.
"It's not true. I just brought food for Roni." After that Evelyn closed her mouth and laughed gigglingly.
For some reason today, Roni was not excited. He ignored Evelyn and Elan who continued chatting.
"Liar. You're liar!" Elan snorted and looked the other way.
Evelyn laughed at Elan's behavior, which she thought was funny. "Hahaha, hey. Just look at this, I brought a lot of food for the three of us. My mother gets a lot of food from her brother. Because it's too much, my mother asked to share this food with you." Then Evelyn showed me a bundle of banana leaves that contained, five boiled bananas, four boiled potatoes, and five boiled sweet potatoes. The food is boiled, but the pleasure is second to none.
"Wow is that true?" Elan was immediately excited and delighted.
Evelyn stuffed her food pack into her knitting bag, then took out a small pitcher filled with water. "Yes, and one more thing, I also brought water. You won't have to buy another drink."
"Well like this, we won't spend money to buy food and drink, right," Elan said with a smile.
"Yes right, but I can't always bring a lot of food" Evelyn replied, her countenance turning moody.
"It's okay Evelyn." Elan patted Evelyn's shoulder many times with a smile.
Evelyn just nodded. Then his attention was diverted to Roni who had not participated in chatting since. Just shut up and walk while looking down.
"Roni why?" ask Evelyn.
"Of course." Then Elan approached Roni and patted him on the shoulder many times. "Is there a problem, man?"
Roni was surprised and looked back. Elan was standing right behind him. Roni twisted her body and slightly moved away from Elan. Then shook his head. "There's nothing. I just don't feel excited."
"From the look on your face, I can guess that you're in trouble." Elan looked at Elan's sullen and moody face.
Roni shook her head quickly and replied, "No, no, I don't get in trouble. I told you, I'm just not excited."
"You're not excited there must be a cause. No way, no, right?" Evelyn thought logically.
Roni was silent and did not answer Evelyn's statement. I don't know, Roni was just thinking about the incident this morning, where when he was bathing in the bathroom, suddenly the water in the tub receded and immediately absorbed into his body. Miraculously, his entire body became wet. It was as if his body could absorb the water inside the tub. This is beyond the normal human mind. Roni was speechless to know directly, his miraculous ability.
Does it have anything to do with the dream she had two days ago? Roni dreams of waking up in the middle of a forest and near a river. Then miraculously, he could control the water in his dream, as if the dream was not like a dream but like actually experiencing it consciously. This makes Roni always thought of until now. Who exactly is he? Why do you suddenly have such amazing magical abilities? Those questions still stuck in his brain and Roni had a hard time finding the answer. Only time can answer. Roni will find out for himself about his abilities and his true identity.
Time passed and the sun rose to the surface. Now Roni, Evelyn, and Elan have arrived at a market that is quite crowded with many buyers. Many sellers offer each trade in various ways to attract attention. One of them was a middle-aged man who sold robe clothes. With skill, clever, and creative man can attract the attention of people, so many also buy his clothes. His name is Roslan, often called Mr. Roslan by his customers. Including Roni, Evelyn, and Elan who already know Mr. Roslan.
"Thank God, I've always been good Mr. Roslan." Evelyn smiled faintly.
"If Nak Evelyn is so, so am I, hahaha, too" replied Mr. Roslan jokingly.
"Yes, Mr. Roslan is always healthy every day." Evelyn replied jokingly anyway.
"It's not always so, son. Sometimes I feel fine too. Did Evelyn come here to buy clothes?" ask Roslan.
Evelyn replied, "No sir. I just want to look around. If any clothes fit me, tomorrow I'll buy them."
Roslan nodded, then he asked, "Where are Elan and Roni?"
Evelyn turned her gaze to Mr. Roslan. Then he pointed to Roni and Elan who were selling near a shady tree. There are many people passing by. Roni and Elan did choose a strategic place to sell their fruits.
"Oh, those two young people are always together. They never trade in different places" Roslan said, looking up at Elan and Roni.
"They were familiar from childhood, sir, including me," Evelyn replied.
"Yes, your friendship is great, may it remain until you age together." Roslan smiled faintly. He remembered his teenage years.
"Amen." Evelyn nodded and smiled.
Meanwhile, at the place where Elan and Roni were trading, there was a woman and a little boy came to them both. It seems the woman wants to buy her son some fruit. There was a boy next to the woman whining while pointing at Elan's wares. If observed from the robes of women and children were clean and neat with colors that look striking, it seems not from the middle class, but among the nobility.
"I want a banana, Mommy" said the boy, tugging at his mother's hand.
"Yes, Mother, buy it. Do not pull your hand, sick," said the woman as she took off her child's hand gently.
"Yes Mother." The boy complies.
Then the woman took her son, walked up to Elan. Elan swiftly acted kindly and gently. Roni who was sitting a little far away from Elan could only pay attention.
"Want to buy what fruit, ma'am?" elan asked very kindly.
"My son wants a banana. Please, just get one clove," said the woman with a thin facial expression. Most nobles are indeed less friendly with commoners.
"Yes, Madam. I'll get it." Elan also took a banana clove.
Meanwhile, the boy who was standing next to his mother had since noticed Roni's face. Roni looked at the boy's face. There was a feeling of anxiety in Roni's heart because the child's expression was like he was mocking her. Sometimes the boy sticks out his tongue. Indeed such a small child, his attitude is still naughty and a lot of behavior. Roni understands this. He then no longer looked at the boy and turned his eyes the other way. Lazy also deals with small children. If Roni replies to him that there is a child that even cries. Roni is to blame.
"Mother, I don't like that guy. That guy's ugly." The boy made fun of Roni blatantly, making his mother and Elan immediately turn towards Roni. Elan laughed a little. While the mother of the child could only shake her head.
"Shut up, Son. Don't talk like that." The woman rebuked her son in order to behave politely, even though the one mocked by her son was a commoner's son.
Suddenly the boy came to Roni with a ketus facial expression. The boy was carrying a jug of drinking water. Roni was a little panicked, not knowing what the boy was doing to her.
"You're ugly!" The boy opened the lid of the jug, and without warning he immediately threw water from inside the jug towards Roni. Sontak Roni was startled and immediately raised both of his hands to protect his face from splashing water. Without realizing it, Roni's palm emitted a blue light and immediately splashed water from the child was floating in the air so it did not hit Roni's body. As soon as it was witnessed by many people, everyone was astonished to know that there was a commoner child who had magic abilities. Everyone who saw it directly to the point of being speechless made it.
Slowly Roni opened her eyes. "Well!" Very surprised, he quickly lowered his hand down. The water floating in the air came down hard to splash about the boy's expensive clothes.
"MOM!!"
