"I'm sorry for attacking you guys before, eating this pill." The grandmother gave Kala and Maheswari one treatment pill each, leaving them pensive for not knowing what was really going on. "Let's get into this old shop, I hope the free food is enough as a sign of my forgiveness."
Maheswari was still covered in vigilance, he did not directly swallow the pill or enter the store. "Explain me! What exactly happened?!"
"Young man, don't yell at older ones." The grandmother flicked her arm while chuckling softly. "I just want to test you. If you attacked me earlier, then you are the one who came with evil intentions. But if you only survive, then you're the customer for my shop." The old woman grinned. "But for now, all the food I'm going to give you without demanding payment."
Maheswari did not fully believe, while Kala had swallowed the pill and entered the store. Maheswari smelled the pill in his hand. From the smell, Maheswari realized that the pill fully contained non-toxic herbs. As a healer, Maheswari knows which ones are poisonous or curing, these pills are healing from their aroma. Then Maheswari swallowed the pill, his condition immediately improved. Maheswari has to trust her grandmother and enter the diner.
The shop is just a building. Where the cook stove is located at the end of the room and the dining tables are in the middle of the room. Others, empty.
Kala looks to have sat while the grandmother is dabbling in front of the furnace. Maheswari immediately sat beside Kala before looking at this rickety building.
"You just tell me what message you want, how much I can make it."
A confident grandmother actually, when there is no visible food to cook.
"Sir Mahes, just order" said Kala.
"You just." Maheswari whispered, afraid to offend the grandmother.
"All right." Kala took a breath. "Mom, I'll order two servings of roasted chicken. Do not bring two whole chickens, just cut one chicken into two. If there is, bring green vegetables too."
"As per your order, Son." The grandmother served two cups of tea on the table.
The aroma of tea makes Kala's nose want to breathe for a long time. Surprisingly, this tea fragrance was more concentrated and pungent than any other tea smell he had ever inhaled. That appetizing fragrance made Kala sip it immediately. The sweet taste of the tea combined with the concentrated fragrance immediately spoiled the tongue of Kala, he continued to sip the tea slowly due to the heat.
The grandmother spoke to Kala. "Your partner seems very suspicious of me. Make him calm."
Kala ham[pir spouted tea in his mouth, but he only coughed many times. Luckily Maheswari had not yet drunk the tea, or there would have been two teas spouting into the grandmother's face.
"Didn't you? You guys look like you're dating."
"No, Grandma ...." Kala put on a riled face.
The grandmother chuckled before returning to the corner of the room where the furnace was located, she continued her cooking activities. Kala glanced at Maheswari who gave no response. Kala was grateful Maheswari was not angry or offended by the grandmother's words. Kala continued drinking while listening to the grandmother tell her a story.
From the story of the grandmother who was cooking it, it is known that she is an artist. His abilities in martial arts and medicine were extremely high, but that was also what made him a fugitive. It is known that the allegations rained down on his grandmother, making him sought by the kingdom as well as the white schools. This grandmother decided to live in a forest far from community life, she relied on the sale of her very few stores customers. Grandma has lived here for more than ten years, and only four customers have come here.
"Are Grandmas not afraid if the customers divulge the whereabouts of Grandma?"
The grandmother chuckled long. "I'll give them the pills I made. This pill can make a person forget the memory that he has been here or eaten here."
Kala shuddered. "Don't give it to us, Grandma. We seem to want to discuss something important that should not be forgotten."
"O, okay, alright! Besides I like your style, this Grandma won't give you those pills as long as you promise not to tell anyone my place!"
Kala pointed at Maheswari. "If it is him, may I not tell you?"
The grandmother grinned. "Don't tell him, it could be dangerous."
Grandma and Kala laughed amusedly together. Maheswari never stops grumbling. No one's ever teased him this far.
The grandmother stopped her laughter abruptly, making Kala wonder. Grandma's face turned serious. His eyes stared intently at the outside window like seeing a ghost, Kala slashed his eyes.
"You wait here." Grandma left the dish. "I'll be back soon."
New Maheswari wanted to ask, but the grandmother had disappeared. When covered in horror and high alertness. He had no idea what was hidden in the darkness. Maheswari told Kala to eat but remained vigilant, Maheswari also told him to be more relaxed. Calm and alert.
