Sword King
#23. Nirmala
Tok tok....
The door of the Red Seriti room was slowly knocked. Nirmala opened the door. Ni Nur stood at the door smiling.
"Nur Masuk..." Seriti Merah invited Ni Nur to sit on the tea table chair by the window. After they sat down, Red Seriti asked,
"What's Nur ?"
"I just want to tell you tomorrow after tomorrow there is an auction event in Ustano Ivory Tower. One of the items that came up for auction was the item that Miss Red Seriti had been looking for." Seriti Merah was surprised to hear Ni Nur's explanation. The red-clothed woman recalled the message she received ten years ago. The message came from Queen Sijundai, ruler of Bunian Nagari.
Still very clearly engraved in the mind of Seriti Merah the details of the incident.
Less than ten years ago.
A beautiful girl dressed in all red moved quickly with the science of lightening the body high enough at the foot of Gunuang Ledang Hill.
Gunuang Ledang Hill is a series of mountains full of mystery. No news has ever been heard of anyone being able to penetrate the forest of Gunuang Ledang Hill to be able to climb to the top of the mountain. There are nine peaks in Gunuang Ledang Hill. At the highest peak there is a Silap Mato palace which is only visible at full moon.
Silap Mato Palace is the seat of power nagari Bunian. Bunian Nagari is a supernatural land and inhabited by soft people.
The Red Seriti continued to run fast over the thickets and swamps. Red Searches hear the cry of the baby. The Red Seriti drained the deep energy of the ketelinga to sharpen its hearing. He looked for where the source of the baby's crying sounds came from. After finding the source of the baby's cries, Red Seriti quickly headed there.
Arriving at the Red Seriti near the huge bodhi tree, he saw a baby girl in a different shade and covered in a thick silk lila cloth. The baby girl in the basket immediately stopped crying looking at Red Seriti. The baby girl smiled and moved her hand towards Red Seriti. Red Seriti squatted near the basket and looked at the baby who constantly moved her hands.
The baby girl is so beautiful. Her eyes were beautifully sparkling like stars, her chin was like a bee in a row, there were dimples on her cheeks. Slowly the hand of Seriti Merah stretched up the woman's bari. It seems that the baby's heart is very happy. The sound of a funny voice came out from his lips like inviting Red Seriti to chat.
"Ga.ga gu gu...
Ga ga ga gu...."
Red Seriti hugged the baby gently and began talking by playing with the baby.
"Well beautiful baby, I'll take you. I'll give you Nirmala's name." Like understanding what Seriti Merah said, the tiny baby held the cheek of Seriti Merah. The Red Seriti put the baby back in the baby basket.
When Red Seriti wants to lift the baby basket, a glow glow appears next to the bodhi tree. The Red Seriti was surprised but remained calm looking at the glower. A moment later from the luminescent light appeared three female figures. A beautiful woman with a small crown on her head.
The woman exuded an aura of grandeur of a ruler. Behind the charming beautiful woman, stood two women who were also very beautiful. One dressed briefly like a Red Seriti and the other like a warlord. They stared at Red Seriti closely. After some time, the lady in front spoke. His voice sounded melodious but it also sounded majestic.
"Thank you Miss Red Seriti was pleased to come to this place. This is in accordance with the timed."
Red Seriti could not hide her shock. The beautiful woman dressed in red looked at the woman in front of her with a question mark.
The beautiful woman in the crown explained to answer the question in the heart of Red Seriti.
"The baby girl is my daughter." Queen Sijundai was silent for a moment, her face appearing rippling at a glance. The beautiful woman took a deep breath, her voice slightly trembling. It seems that the woman is trying to withstand the turmoil in her mind. Sima or Queen Sijundai continued,
"The baby can't grow on a Bunian nagari. Because it is not pure blood of our nation. Mixed blood from softened blood and human.
We've known for three days that Miss is going through this path. That's why I put my baby under this bodhi tree. When Miss gave Nirmala's name to my baby, we went straight out through the dimensional portal." Queen Sijundai pointed at the empty space beside the bodhi tree.
"Miss Seriti Merah, it looks like my daughter is indeed a match for you. Miss also gave her the same name we gave her that was Nirmala." Red Seriti smiled slightly, she again carried Nirmala. She felt an inner bond with the baby girl. Red Seriti prepares to leave, she puts Nirmala back in the baby basket. After putting Nirmala down and see if her position is safe.
"Wait for Miss Red Seriti,". Queen Sijundai hands a bracelet to Red Seriti. The girl received a beautiful carved bracelet.
"What is this ?" Red asked.
"It was a space bracelet to store a wide variety of objects. You can also keep cooked or raw food, and it will never spoil." Red Seriti was again shocked. The space bracelet was a high-level heirloom. Very rarely do people have that heirloom. Most high-level warriors only had storage pockets with storage areas of one to three square meters. While the heirloom bracelet space, has a storage space of one thousand to ten thousand square meters.
"Give a drop of Miss's blood to the bracelet. Then the bracelet can only part with Miss due to death. There are few treasures and resources and two books there." Red Seriti gave a drop of her blood. The bracelet shone brightly and was attached by itself to the left hand of the Red Seriti. A quick glance at Red Seriti checked the contents of the space bracelet. His eyes were wide at the contents.
Red Seriti lifted the basket and prepared to leave. Queen Sijundai said,
"There's one more Miss. Please find and get the purple Wijaya Kusuma flower. The flower is for Nirmala, it would be very good if the flower had been obtained before Nirmala was twelve." After Queen Sijundai explained everything that felt necessary. The two beauties hugged each other, thanked each other and promised to see each other again when Nirmala was fifteen.
Since then Seriti Merah began trying to find flowers Vijaya Kusuma purple. According to the information collected. The purple Vijaya Kusuma flower grows only in the valley of the poison gas behind the hill of Siguntang in Suvarnabhumi.
"Miss, why daydream ?" Ni Nur draws the Red Seriti from past memories.
"Set up a special room for me, which means we'll stay here for three nights." Red Seriti reminded Ni Nur.
"Alright, then I say goodbye" Ni Nur replied as he stood up and left the Red Seriti's room.
Nirmala sat on the bench under the waru tree with Lindu. The beautiful girl invited Lindu to enjoy the sunset view. A third of the sun began to set. The expanse of the sea and the sky above it is red orange. The sea breeze blew away Nirmala's haircut that sometimes hit Lindu's face. Lindu let Nirmala's haircut play with the wind and hit her face. The sound of the waves sounded pleasant in the ears of the two teenagers. Nirmala leaned her head on Lindu's shoulder. The beautiful girl felt very peaceful and calm with Lindu. The Buana finally sank full. The silhouette of the red color in the sky began to disappear replaced by darkness. Lindu and Nirmala return to the inn One. They made a deal to sell the game in the Rimbo Toboh forest to the Ivory Tower of Utano the next day. Lindu was also reminded to step on Wisesa by Nirmala.
The night passed peacefully. Gave Lindu a chance to sleep well.
In the morning after breakfast, Lindu, Wisesa and Nirmala ask permission to see the city of Pariaman.
