" You must be very sad about your mother's passing. "
" Yeah.... Even I have not been able to accept it until now.... (dejected) But I can not continue like that right?!!.... (getting with a fractured smile) Oh yes have we not entered the northern region of Bingla? " (changed topic)
" he...! True, the preoccupation of hearing the story of Kak Vingent sihh, I did not pay attention to my surroundings. " (happy).
In front of them were two not-so-large footpaths, perhaps enough to be the size of a wheelbarrow the farmers were carrying their produce. And in the right of the road there is a wooden board stuck. The wooden board reads 'Welcome to the North Bingla Area '
The path revolves around a field adjacent to the field of pumpkin plantation, and a garden for the cultivation of black orchids. Voltha said that his house was close to this park and only needed to turn it around to get there.
" Come Brother Vingent....!!! (spontaneously pulling Vingent's hand) We're close!! Soon until.!. " (run).
" Ehh.(running follower) Voltha.... Slow down.... No need to rush. "
Overzealous Voltha was impatient to meet his parents. After circling the garden, they finally arrived in front of a wooden house whose size might even be smaller than the Vingent house. Vingent watched the house from corner to corner. The weeds, as well as the parasites that propagate on the poles of the house, have even grown high.
" This is your house Voltha....? " (seeing)
" Yes!!. " (looking with sparkling eyes)
Vingent* [ Wait.... This house looks unkempt. Why do I feel that this house has been abandoned since a few days ago huh?! The yard is so dirty filled with leaves. The grass here is also not maintained. ]
" Dad!!!... Mommy!!. (walk, open the door) I'm home.... Come and see who I bring!! " (excited)
(There is no reply)
" Dad?!!.... Mommy?!! (looking the whole house) That's enough!.... Don't hide anymore, come out!!. "
(Still the same, no answer)
" Maybe your father and mother are not in Voltha's house?". " (soothing the atmosphere)
" Hhh....!! Yeah, maybe mom and dad are in the garden. As soon as they get home, I'll give them some shock. Brother Vingent, make yourself as comfortable as possible. I want to clean the house!! Think of it as your own home. " (leaving Vingent)
" all right.... Can I look at your house?. "
" Of course, please. " (half yelling)
Vingent had already learned that the house had been abandoned not long ago. He looked around one room at a time. He tried to enter a room not far from his position at that time. Upon entering, it turned out that this room was a bedroom, seemingly belonging to both Voltha's parents.
The room was dominated by photos with them, so Vingent's guess was just right. Beside the bed, there was a sleeping lampshade lying and also cracked. When approached, under the lamp there is a folded piece of crumpled paper. It says in it :
To my dear son, Voltha
My son, forgive me mom and dad, maybe later when you get home, you won't see us at home. Because a few days ago, some of the palace soldiers took my father and mother there. They already suspected us, came from outside and wanted to interrogate everyone.
Son, I beg you very much, that you go far away, if you need to go far. Leave this house after you read this, as soon as possible! I'm worried that the palace soldiers will come back and take you with us. And they will do something dangerous if you are with us. Son, don't worry about mom and dad here, we'll always be fine.
I'll tell you something important about you. Look for a crate under your bed, take it with you, and don't let anyone open it, let alone see anything in it.
Open the chest when you are seventeen years old. Promise me that you open it when the time has come, and promise me a second time, that you will not seek or follow your father and mother here, before you find yourself, and be strong to rebuild what should be your responsibility.
Vingent* [This is a letter from Voltha's parents!! So this is what happened to her parents. I guess this house was abandoned a few days ago. But the soldiers brought Voltha's parents with excuses, because Voltha's parents were outsiders...? Looks like it's a little overdone, there must be another reason why they were taken. (suspicious) Then.... The chest....!!! (search) ]
Vingent immediately felt under the bed, on the right side he found nothing. He tried the other side. And finally Vingent found it, a medium-sized chest with a distinctive carving that is not so foreign in his eyes.
Vingent felt reminded of something when he saw the carvings. The coffin was silvery gold, it seemed to be made of pure white gold, with the strongest mixture of metals titanium and borazon.
On top of the chest, there is a special emblem carving, in the middle there is a red diamond gemstone, and surrounded by four other diamond stones. Then in the outer circle there are eleven more diamonds outside. Each diamond has a different color and pattern.
Vingent* [In this chest must have explained who and where Voltha came from, I had to bring this and show father. I certainly didn't expect it. To this letter. (think) It seems.... I haven't been able to tell her this desperate situation. I had to take Voltha away again first from the sin, before the soldiers came back again to find Voltha.]
Vingent stuffed the crate and piece of paper into the bag he was carrying. As he kept it Voltha suddenly called out to him, spontaneously entering it quickly, then meeting Voltha. He told Voltha that Voltha's parents would not return home.
" Why?, what happened? Then.... Where can you tell?. " (worried)
" I don't know, I was like told by my father just now, if you want to find out why we went back to my house, and just asked my father. I might be able to answer it in more detail. "
Vingent* [I'm sorry Voltha, I had to take you away this way. Otherwise, you will definitely never want to go far away from this house again. ]
When Vingent is forced to lie to Voltha, and take her back to the Upper City. Along the way, Voltha never stopped asking about his parents. The look on his face is very visible, if Voltha is restless and worried.
As soon as he got home to Vingent, he told him to stay calm, and told him that his parents were okay. But even though it was said that it was okay, Voltha was still anxious, her feelings remained unsettled.
" Wait a minute.... I'll find you first, if there's anything in your parents I'll help you. This.... (presents sweets for Voltha) you just eat first, okay?! (trying to calm him down) I'll be back soon with my father. " (walking hastily, carrying his bag)
When he arrived at his father's office....
" Dad!!.... Daddy's!! Where're you?!! "
" Hey.... What's screaming until it's like that...? Try talking slowly. " (wake up from sleep).
" Dad.... Watch this.... (Taking out the crate he found at Voltha's house) Then this paper too. " (shows).
When he saw the chest, Uncle Vir's face immediately became serious. He read the message in the paper slowly, then he flipped through the crate to check it. But their high curiosity, unable to see what was in the chest, they could not open it yet.
" You found this thing in Voltha's house?!! " (seriously)
" That's right dad, meaning all of your guesses are true?!! "
" It's obvious, these crates were locked using a key system our ancestors made. To open it we need a blood sample from the owner. "
" Do we have to ask Voltha? Then tell him all about his secret?. "
" Don't....! For now, don't tell him anything. Remind.... What is written in the letter?!! (Pointed). ' Until the time comes, you have to tackle '. Do you even understand who he is now?. From now on he is your biggest responsibility. This task is not just a task that I give. But this duty is also a gift from your people. "
" King, it has helped us even at the last point in our lives though. We have to show him a high favor. Vingent you understand, don't you?! " (touching his shoulder)
" Of course dad, (seriously) leave everything to me. We will help Voltha to find the real way out of it. "
