The Beast Beauty's
CHAPTER 12. The House on the Hill

Grandma Maepong who is 80 years old still has enough energy to go to and fro, No wonder that in the daytime her house becomes empty.

Arumeey came out into the main room when he heard someone coming.

"My grandson, are you here?" Maepong's grandmother asked when she saw Arumeey coming out of her room.

"Grandmother, where have you been?" Arumeey asked as she walked over to her grandmother.

Arumeey hugged her grandmother tightly, the grandmother also missed her granddaughter very much.

Maepong's grandmother instantly released her embrace as she smelled the scent of blood on her grandson.

"You hurt??" Maepong's grandmother asked, looking worried while feeling the feel of her grandson's body.

"What happened to Arumeey, why did you get hurt?" Maepong's grandmother was very worried when she found a wound wrapped by Arumeey.

"Grandma, I'm fine, it's just a small wound, I fell off my horse" Arumeey told her grandmother.

She did not want her grandmother to be worried.

"You can't fool me Arumeey, tell me what's going on?" Ask Grandma Maepong who knows that her granddaughter is lying.

Maepong's grandmother pulled Arumeey's arm and told him to sit on a wooden chair in the main room.

"Sit down, I'll pluck the leaves of the cinaga grass!" Grandma Maepong.

"No need for grandma, I've already plucked it" replied Arumeey and went straight into her room.

Arumeey picked up the leaves she had picked earlier, she also stared at the box she was carrying. But he didn't take it.

Arumeey returned to the main room. Grandma Maepong wasn't there. Not long after, Grandma Maepong returned with a glass of water and also a cup to concoct wound medicine.

Arumeey handed the leaves to her grandmother. Maepong's grandmother took the leaves and mixed them with some other ingredients.

"Drink first, I will concoct this medicine for your wounds" Maepong's grandmother said

Arumeey took the water and drank it.

"Grandmother, don't worry too much, I'm just out of luck today, I met a herd of robbers in the middle of the forest, but I've cleared it all up" Arumeey said

Maepong's grandmother stopped her medicinal hand, she looked at her grandson.

"I'm so worried about you Arumeey. I don't want the things that happened to your parents to be happening to you, too, " said Grandma Maepong Lirih while returning to concoct the medicine.

Arumeey was silent for a while, then said while looking closely at her grandmother's face which was already filled with wrinkles.

"Grandma, what happened to my parents, Grandma never told me what really happened, I just know what I saw, but I don't know what the mystery is" Arumeey said

"You'll know Arumeey soon, I can't tell you because I don't know who the mastermind is either" Maepong said.

"Grandmother, there's actually something I want to show you" Arumeey said.

Grandma Maepong looked back at her grandson.

Arumeey got up from her seat and went into her room. He picked up the box left by his parents, and took it out.

Arumeey handed the box to her grandmother.

Maepong's grandmother scrunched her forehead.

Grandma Maepong opened the box with a very careful heart.

"This is your mother's jewelry, some of this jewelry is a gift from the King to your mother, you deserve it" said Maepong's grandmother.

"Grandmother, look at the bottle under the jewelry" said Arumeey.

Maepong's grandmother looked confused and opened the box baffle. He looked at the bottle and picked it up.

"This???, is this the medicine???" maepong's grandmother asked was not directed at anyone.

"You know her grandma?" ask Arumeey.

"I'm not sure Arumeey. Your mother used to investigate about a rare disease that affects many people in Hwangguna, she and your father researched various types of plants to make a cure for the disease, but bad things often happen, he said, like someone wanted to stop them".

Arumeey was silent to Maepong's grandmother.

"Observe the heart of Arumeey, lest anyone know your identity, we do not know what their purpose is to eliminate your parents, you may also be their target.

"Grandmother, I have information that the red hawk army that killed my mother and father only took orders from the big man, Do you think the people in the palace were involved with the deaths of my mother and father?" ask Arumeey.

"Either Arumeey, your parents are the king's physician of faith, your parents are also very trusting of the king. I'm not sure the king and the queen were involved in that" Maepong's grandmother said.

"I can't yet confirm what the contents of these two bottles are grandma, but I will try to get into the research room immediately" Arumeey said staring at the two bottles.

"Be careful Arumeey". Maepong's grandmother said with concern.

Maepong's grandmother pulled Arumeey's arm and bandaged her wound.

"Change your clothes, grandma will prepare garlic soup for you" said Maepong grandmother.

"Good grandma" Arumeey immediately got up and went into his room.

...............

After changing clothes, Arumeey stepped into the kitchen. The aroma of garlic soup spread to all directions, making anyone who inhales it feel like enjoying it.

"Hmmmm so fragrant, I really miss grandma's cooking" said Arumeey approached Grandma Maepong who was stirring soup in a black cauldron.

Maepong's grandmother put out the fire, indicating that the garlic soup was ready to serve. Arumeey was sitting on a wooden floor directly opposite the ravine behind his house.

The back kitchen of Maepong's grandmother's house only has walls on the right and left sides, one side that leads to the back has no walls at all.

Grandma Maepong serves garlic soup into a black bowl, she also serves two roasted birds and young coconut water.

"Waaah is delicious" said Arumeey impatiently want to devour it immediately.

"Eat, garlic soup is very good in eating with canala meat, it will accelerate the healing of your wounds" Maepong's grandmother said while offering roasted bird meat to Arumeey

Arumeey sipped the soup sauce and put the meat in his mouth, He ate it very greedily. A cold wind blew stroking Arumeey's beautiful hair. The atmosphere was silent, there was only the sound of leaves rubbing against the wind.

"Grandmother, I have a relationship with the second prince of Hwangguna" Arumeey said.

"Uhuk uhuk bhuahak'' Maepong's grandmother choked on hearing her grandson's words.

"What did you say Arumeey???" Maepong's grandmother could not believe what she had just heard.
