Kala Crying

Maheswari looked at Kala for help so that he would no longer be scolded by Yudishthira. However, the young man became a little upset that he was used as a trial patient for a new drug, it is appropriate that after this Kala ask for compensation fees.

But in any case, Kala could not possibly let Maheswari in the pressure before his eyes. "Patriarch, Physician Maheswari has learned that I am the Knight of Garuda. I've considered her as my own sister, it's only natural that a sister would first try her brother's artwork."

"But Kala, what he's doing is very risky for your safety."

"Please calm down, Patriarch, I'm fine saka." Kala smiled seductively. "I'll also ask for a big compensation after this, there's no way I'll just let it go."

Maheswari slightly smiled wryly but he was grateful that Yudhishthira's anger had subsided enough to draw his sword back into the interspatial ring. Maheswari then promised that he would compensate.

"alright. There's something I need to take care of right away. Continue treatment, Physician Maheswari." The patriarch left the tent.

Maheswari breathes a sigh of relief. "When, what is the compensation cost to you?"

Kala smiled and then shook her head slowly. "No need, Mahes. I was just kidding."

"I must keep giving you compensation."

"There is no need to take my joke seriously, Mahes."

Maheswari smiled. "Since you were just joking, then you don't really think of me as your brother?"

Kala smiled. "I do consider Mahes as my brother. That's not a joke at all. Mahes's brother protected me like a brother would protect his sister, didn't he?"

"What about the couple? They protect each other, don't they?" ask Maheswari full of search.

When he choked on his own saliva, coughing loudly like a pebble had entered his throat, he immediately said, "No, Mahes is my brother. The age of Mahes is far above me."

"In the world of prinors, age is not a requirement for couples. Anyone can be young forever."

He chose not to answer. While Maheswari back to treat Kala, but with other drugs. This atmosphere was awkward for Kala, so he looked for another topic of conversation.

"Sir Mahes seems to have been so famous. I hear your name everywhere as a very talented healer. Even the Patriarch has great respect for Brother Mahes."

Maheswari laughed. "I can indeed be said to be quite famous, Kala. All of Java and Andalas know me as an expert healer."

"What's so great about Mahes?" ask Kala curiously.

"Can grow a cut finger for example," Maheswari replied lightly.

Kala's eyebrows twitch. Growing that clipped finger was an unacceptable miracle! After knowing that, he no longer felt surprised if Maheswari was so famous.

Maheswari finished his treatment when he replied, "The Andalas Plain is a very large island, located in the west of Java. This island is rich in gold, silver, diamonds, and so on."

Kala nodded in understanding. He was not sure if his teacher had ever taught about other islands besides Java, or even he himself had forgotten. This information is quite useful for Kala, maybe after this he will start his journey to the island of Andalas.

Kala tidied himself up before exiting the tent with Maheswari. He soon saw Yudhishthira again, the Patriarch told Kala and Maheswari to return to the city because there was no sign of another attack.

Kala and Maheswari then walked towards the city. Kala did not forget to call Alang, surely this bird had been very tired because it had fought hard in the battle earlier. Alang's body has started like an eagle in general which is only covered with a little fire, Kala is sure that this eagle will turn into an ordinary eagle in the near future.

"This light looks different from the first one I saw." Maheswari looked at Alang who was sleeping on Kala's shoulder.

"Yes, it looks like he's turned into an ordinary eagle." Kala continued walking until entering the city through the north gate.

"When, why did you tell the Patriarch about your secret? Wouldn't it be dangerous if the secret spread? There could be someone who wants to step you in."

"Quiet, Brother Mahes. Patriarch Yudhishthira was a good man, he was an old friend of my teacher."

Maheswari nodded slowly before taking Kala to one of the abandoned houses. When asked to sit down, Maheswari wanted to cook something that seemed delicious. The girl went into the kitchen of this house.

The floor of this house is made of black marble, the floors are dusty and very uncomfortable on the feet. Kala took out a broom from the interspatial ring and swept through this room. It has been a long time since Kala stopped sweeping, the last he swept was when he was still living in his hut at the foot of Mount Loro Kembar, during his practice at the top of the mountain was always his teacher sweeping and the wooden floor was almost never dirty.

Kala's eyes were slightly watery, he felt a sense of nostalgia that made him haru at once happy, a feeling that was very difficult to describe. The broom that Kala was wearing was also a broom made by Akhza, it also added a sense of nostalgia as if he saw his teacher sweeping.

When he finished his work quickly, he could not get too late in the nostalgia that would make him cry. Kala felt that he was an important figure for Nusantara, if he cried because of nostalgia, it would be very embarrassing even though no one saw him crying at this time.

Kala smelled the smell of grilled meat that stirred his stomach. The origin of this smell is from behind, where Maheswari is in his kitchen. The smell was accompanied by a thin smoke that began to fill the space where Kala was. Kala took a breath, enjoying this fragrant aroma.

"Sir Mahes really made my stomach hungry all of a sudden, that's all just by the smell, what about the taste of the food?" muttered Kala while taking off her shoes.

Clontang! Clontang!

The sound of metal falling from the kitchen. When he leaned his head slightly, his eyebrows loosened. A voice like this, a voice that Kala heard every day as her grandmother cooked for her.

Leaning against the wall. His body was squeezing, his lips were loosening. Nostalgia this time can not avoid his sadness. Tears finally came out of her petals. She misses the grandmother who took care of her from childhood, even though she is not a granddaughter or relative, she takes care of Kala with affection.

Kala did not want to be considered indifferent when Maheswari dropped the goods. At least Kala asked what happened or for better was to run towards the kitchen to meet him.

"Sir Mahes, is it okay?"
