The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 39

"Brengsw! How dare you!" The man was furious and tried to approach a girl who had dared to throw a stone right at him.

"Run! Hurry along!" the girl shouted to Dea.

Dea who had been fixated finally realized that it turned out that the girl was just trying to distract the drunk. Dea nodded and immediately ran away from the Drunk.

"Ah, shit!" The drunken man was angry after realizing that Dea had escaped from him.

"Stop you!" the drunk shouted and wanted to chase Dea who had run off the ridge, not knowing the direction and purpose while carrying her bag. Not only Dea, the girl who had managed to distract the evil man also ran after Dea quickly.

"Here, follow me!" tell the girl to Dea.

Dea believed it too. He followed where the girl was leading him. While the drunken man continued to try to chase the two girls with staggering steps.

"Hey, wait! Just watch out, I will never forgive you both!" grumble the man.

"Here!"

The girl pulled Dea's hand and invited her to hide beside a trash can made of a large drum, which was already unused.

The two girls ended up hiding there while occasionally glancing towards the street. Where the drunk would go through. And sure enough, a few seconds later the drunk man went down that road. He looked to the right and to the left looking for their whereabouts.

"Where are they? Very quickly run," the man muttered as he continued his steps down the road, with staggering steps.

"Huf! Finally" the girl muttered after she confirmed that the drunken man had disappeared and their position was safe.

"Are you sure he's gone?" asked Dea with a paled face.

"Yes, of course. You'd better go home before the man comes back and finds you" replied the girl.

Dea fell silent. He doesn't know where to go after this. Upon seeing Dea's sad-looking expression, the girl asked again. "You why? Uh, don't tell me you don't have a place to stay, yeah!"

"Today I arrived in this city and I don't know where to go" Dea said.

Convinced that the girl was good and would not do evil to him, Dea agreed. He followed the girl without any hesitation.

"What's your name? I am Nadia" said the girl, extending her hand to Dea and she immediately greeted him with pleasure.

"My name is Dea and I'm from Muara Asri village."

"The Muara Asri Village? Where is that? I just heard. Oh yes, by the way it's nice to meet you."

"Yes, me too. Um, thank you so much for being willing to save me. If there wasn't you, maybe I would've ...." Dea fell silent while bowing to him.

"Either. No, don't be sad anymore." The girl named Nadia patted Dea's shoulder with a smile. "Oh yes, you have not answered where Muara Asri village is. I'll be curious" continued Nadia.

"Lumayan is far from this city because it takes hours to get here" Dea replied.

Nadia nodded slowly. "I'm also an overseas child. I came from the village and went to this city to find a better job than just being a farm worker" Nadia said.

It did not feel they arrived in front of a small rented house owned by Nadia. Nadia unlocks the door and invites Dea to enter.

"Come in! Take it easy, there's nobody here. I was alone" said Nadia, opening the door wider so Dea could enter.

"Thank you very much, Nadia. I owe you." Dea stared fixedly at the girl his age while smiling faintly.

"Ah, don't think about it. As a fellow overseas child, I know what it's like to be in your position because I've already felt it." Again Nadia patted Dea's shoulder.

Nadia invited Dea to sit in a plastic chair in the front room of her house. Small house with one bedroom. The two girls chatted for a long time in the room while telling each other about themselves. Nadia is a very nice girl. He is very adaptable and now Nadia has started to look familiar with Dea who is not too talkative.

"Oh yeah, Dea. If you want to take a shower, there's a bathroom." Nadia pointed to a small room in the kitchen, which was the bathroom.

"thank you. I think I need that, Nad. A day wandering around the big city, making me stifled, "Dea replied.
