The Prince Ningrat's Preferred Wife
CHAPTER 97 I entrust My Life to You
An hour had passed, Hesa and Ei walked hand in hand together. Because they are climbing the stairs, automatically the power needed must be extra especially they do not bring any supplies. Ei began to thirst, his body filled with sweat and began to weaken, but he did not show it to Hesa. But Hesa could know and feel what Ei was feeling, he also invited his lover to stop walking and look around.
“Sit down and spread your feet, you can't force yourself to keep going up,” said Hesa and Ei according to him, he immediately leaned against the wall of the stairs.
Hesa looked at the right and left sides of Ei. The air is cold because it is at high altitude. Hesa danced the roots of the bush that spread outside the guardrail and pulled it by force and bit the roots of the bush until it broke in two.
Miraculously, water came out from the roots of the bush and he drank it to Ei so that the lover would not be dehydrated. Not to forget he also drank water from the roots that he had bit to taste.
“How? Are you feeling better?” ask Hesa.
“Where do you know that in this root there is water?” tanya Ei is much better than before.
“All living plants store water. This root propagates on the landless wall, it is impossible to grow this big if we do not store a large water reserve, we do not need to worry about thirst now. We can take advantage of these roots along the way because these roots seem to propagate on the wall of the ladder fence,” explained Hesa and scientifically it is true.
“You're right, I'm a science kid, but why don't I think about it. This place provides many things that we need during the journey to the stairs.” Ei settled around where he stood. On the right and left side there are many different types of plants and plants that can be eaten. Thus neither Ei nor Hesa would fear hunger nor thirst.
“You want that apple? Looks like someone is ripe,” bargain Hesa staring at the apple tree that is bearing fruit from the right side of the ladder fence.
“You know, but how do you take it, you can't go downstairs, and climb that tree, right? It must be difficult to climb up again to this ladder.”
“And there you are, you can hold my body. I'm gonna hang up and get that apple. I'll jump and I'll entrust my life to me.” Without waiting for approval Ei Hesa really jumped down and Reflex Ei directly held the lover's leg.
“Crazy! Can't you give me a cue first, how about I never had time to hold your feet bodooh!” ei shouted annoyed that Hesa suddenly jumped just like that.
“I told you I trusted you with my life, baby. Got it! There's a lot of fruit here. You want mulberry? Lots of black! It must taste good!” hesha from below.
“How did you get this edyan, ha? You're not afraid of dying what?” Ei was as strong as he could to hold Hesa's feet so as not to fall.
“It's because I love you. Pull me up now Honey!” hesa cried again and Ei immediately pulled her.
In both hands of Hesa there were many apples and mulberries. Hesa looked very happy and put it on the stairs to eat together with Ei. Fruit picked directly from the tree does look fresh and tempting, both enjoy eating fruit together the style of lovers in ancient times.
“I just found out that there are so many fruits here. If it's like this we won't starve and thirst again.” Ei felt very full and started to get powered up again. It felt like he could continue his journey to the top of the stairs.
“This ladder is not Ei's death ladder. This is the ladder of struggle. If you want to live, you have to fight to survive by utilizing the natural wealth that is here. It's the same as we're again hiking on a high mountain.”
“But ... how about you want to meet nature's call? There's no way we're doing it here, is there? No rivers here?”
Ei confused, the journey up the stairs is not possible until only in a day 2 days. It's gonna take a couple of days. And during that time, the body's metabolic processes also continue to run and humans need to ******.
“You don't worry, I see that under this ladder there is actually a small stream flowing. The water is clear, and we can use it. I'll string the ropes from the roots of the bush and you can take care if you want to fulfill nature's call. The higher, the rope we will use the longer.”
Ei looked at Hesa's face fixedly. Hesa stared back.
“I know I'm handsome, it's been a long time, you don't need to see me as if I'm going to disappear from the face of this earth.”
“It is not so, the problem is, I .. kebelet penant urinate,” said Ei honestly a bit embarrassed and Hesa smiled knot. Though he had wanted to be romantic but Ei even thwarted him.
What Hesa did was just like primitive life in ancient times. He only relies on nature. And it was only in this way that Hesa could save Ei from the punishment he was currently serving.
“It's safe, I made a cover from the foliage. You can fulfill nature's call without worrying about being seen, hurry up, and pull this rope when you're done, I'll pull you up,” said Hesa after he climbed up again after making sure everything is safe.
Since Hesa was an experienced stranger, this kind of thing was not a difficult one for her. Frequent mountain riding with Refald made the handsome man know what he had to do when he was in the middle of nature without any help. Hesa also once lost her way and she survived thanks to her perfect survival technique.

At nightfall, the air at high altitude grew colder until it pierced the bones. Hesa had also anticipated by making a blanket from a series of waterproof leaves and making the leaves as a base and blanket. Not to forget Hesa plucked dry branches from the tree and collected them and made a fireplace in the middle of 2 steps. That way, Ei and Hesa will not get hypothermia.
“It's already night, we can't continue the journey, tonight we rest here.” Hesa sits next to Ei and deliberately approaches to keep Ei warm. His eyes stared at the fireplace which warmed their bodies.
It's only been a day, and the obstacles are already this heavy. However, Ei was so grateful that there was Hesa by his side that until this moment, the girl was fine.
“What would I be without you by my side, Mahesa ..” Ei said as he leaned his head on the lover's shoulder. He felt very safe near Hesa. He could not imagine what would have happened to him had Hesa not been around.
“What would I be if I wasn't with you, Shreya Fayola.” Hesa replied to her lover.
“Why are you following my words?” ask Ei.
“Yes because I love you, my life will not be perfect if you are not by my side.”
Ei wanted to laugh, but tried to hold it in. He was very happy because all the difficulties he faced so easy if there was Hesa. The girl looked at the ceiling of the night and she was happy that there were so many stars scattered above her. Even Ei could see the shooting star and instantly close his eyes while making a request.
“What are you doing?” hesa asked curiously with Ei's attitude.
“I'm asking for something.”
“You believe that?”
“At first I didn't believe it, but I proved it.”
“Oh yes? In what case?”
“When I was in high school, my classmates were chasing me. At the 17-something event, every school must have held an independence day anniversary and I was paired with a friend who liked me to be a couple wearing traditional clothes. I don't want to be paired with her, not because I don't like her, but I have the principle of not going out while I'm still in school. The next night I saw a shooting star and asked that tomorrow someone would take my place as the man's partner. The result is granted, although it may be a coincidence, at least efficacious. Hehe ..”
“Basic oneng, you are just there, why do you often reject men. I'm also wondering why you don't want to marry Koga, when he's so handsome. A soldier anyway, what less to try? You instead choose to run away and live as a commoner in Indonesia and live a difficult life there. Why are you doing that?”
Ei had guessed, if the question was, Hesa would have asked as well. It seemed, Ei was already unable to hide anything from Hesa. As Ei's loved one, Hesa deserves to know everything about her.
