The Conqueror's Journey
chapter 3 buying lanterns

Unknowingly treya had already arrived in front of his garden. For a long time he had not gone to that garden, making him so eager to see what had changed from that garden.

He walked around the garden. The garden was surrounded by very shady cypress trees.

From the garden it is clear the hills above it, treya will sometimes sit there after lunch. When his father was still alive, he would always be so until when he was told by his mother to fish in the river, only for side dishes or at the sale but that sometimes.

The garden was planted with vegetables by his mother. Because it is always cleaned, the garden looks so beautiful and clean. Treya gardens are on the edge of the upstream river so that the vegetables they grow do not lack water. His father made an irrigation canal from the river to a pond beside the garden, if the pool water is dry they only live to remove the penganjal in the river, and this was also the source of life in his house.

Treya looked around. There are no fallen trees or other plants around the garden, maybe they are reluctant to grow under the leaves of the fir so shady.

Treya decided to sit on top of the small hut beside the pond. The cottage was slightly inward so that he could see the water of the pond and the garden beneath. He hadn't sat there in a long time, even though the pool was old and started eating termites. But it felt the same when he was a kid.

He spread his gaze staring at the pond decorated with light and old green moss, floating at the bottom of the pond. Mud sludge is visible from the sidelines made by the moss.

After he felt that enough was enough, he went to harvest vegetables with a small knife that he carried. He harvested two greens and left.

...🌸🌸🌸🌸...

“how much is it?” asked one who was not far from Treya standing, the man was facing a merchant

“one tie vegetables.” He answered while giving her a bunch of vegetables she wanted

“thank you.”

Not far From there two people are walking out of the market. “mom I want to buy it!” Ask a girl to her mother while pointing towards a toy she wants.

“Let's love now we go first.” Answer

“Uemwahhh, do not want! I want to buy that!” The girl was crying but her mother didn't seem to care about her, maybe her mother didn't have the money to make her that way.

his mother held his son's hand and led him away, they passed by Treya who had just entered the market.

Treya took a breath indicating that he was uncomfortable with this kind of situation, let alone the noise of the merchants that made him even more upset. When he was a kid he didn't behave like this. At that time he was still in the village carrying a sticky noise, but now he really felt uncomfortable, maybe because he always stayed on the hill.

Lantern village market has an area of a quarter of the football field is so crowded visitors, especially when like this certainly many who go want to buy items that are used for later tonight. On the side of the road the traders put the goods neatly, moreover, this market has rules, one of which is each trader will get the same place.

The road in the middle is a path made of strong wood, held by ornamental grasses that grow in the ground. The grass is wide and long to make the atmosphere a little cool, let alone the view of the hill is so beautiful from there, making it like a maknet that attracts travelers to visit it.

The shape of the mesh is in the form of the letter u from entry to exit so it does not take up too much space.

Treya walked in search of the lantern merchant there. Throughout his journey, he could not help but care about something around him even though the atmosphere was exciting him, but his curiosity was beyond him.

Treya saw the merchants who were so happy to promote his merchandise, whether it attracted buyers or not. In addition, bad smells, delicious and others alternately tease the nose of treya, even so, the tree is big so the smells will not affect him, unless he is very disturbing hunger.

After 10 minutes of walking, finally on the right side of the road was seen a board with lanterns, making treya immediately there, but when they were about to go there, people said buying lanterns made him upset because the attrian was very long.

He gave 2 tie vegetables to the seller, but not his happy, instead showing a moody expression made treya ask. “ada wrong?”

The merchant was surprised quickly he said. “ no, but this is not enough to buy lantern”

Treya was a little awkward after hearing it. “is the price going up?”

“no, but the vegetables you brought are withered, if you want to buy a lantern, do you want a small one?”

Tereya breathes. “alah.” Say it lightly.

The merchant wrapped and gave it.

“thank you.” Say treya and get out of there.

The merchant took a deep breath, saw the results so much, made him think hard, how to bring it all.

Vegetables that accumulate so much in the store.

“indeed need more effort.” Say it in accompaniment by taking vegetables.

...🌸🌸🌸🌸...

At home, the tree puts the lanterns in a place that is safe from water or anything else that can damage.

He decided to sit in his yard. Fortunately the weather was cloudy to make his body cool in the face of the south wind.

His mother is still doing her daily activities and in the afternoon she will return home with various foods that will be cooked.

Grass flower stems are still seen trying to bloom. Treya will be careful when the season like this, he would love to see the flowers blooming decorate his garden, but this year it feels like they will not flower no matter what makes it so.

After feeling his energy had recovered he entered into his room.ah the smell of the typical room smell greeted him as if they were waiting for treya to enter,

Sitting at the reading table, treya picked up a piece of paper on her desk “a long time ago I wanted to reply to her.” He muttered, he noticed for a moment the paper with a small smile, he recalled the times of finding a letter from someone he did not know and replying to it. Maybe it was a bad act, he said, but thankfully not to be angered by her, instead the sender of the letter asked a lot about her,

He found it by accident while fishing in the river. Just then suddenly a dove landed nearby, he looked at it. If I sell it might get something valuable, he thought. When he was about to stand he realized that it was possible that the bird would fly when it approached him, making treya sit back.

1 minute went on, the bird did not fly, he just pecked at his beak like he was looking for food from between rocks and also it seemed he was not disturbed by the presence of humans nearby.

Treya realized that the bird did not seem to be leaving if he approached.

Slowly he approached her and the bird looked as usual nothing dangerous to her, and she stretched out her hands slowly.
