Alam Mandala
the remembered diary

On a clear morning, Xue Ni gave Bing Jiazhi a fishing rod and ordered him to do as he asked.

Bing Jiazhi nodded and started to do so.

When he threw the bait, the fish immediately ate it and pulled the fishing line. But before he reacted, the fish had already severed the thread.

He knew it was going to happen, he tried it anyway.

He then went to Xue Ni. “I need a fishing rod again.”

Xue Ni stood up and gave it to her.

Bing Jiazhi then left from there. Not long after, he returned with his broken fishing gear.

“I need very much thread and fishing line tool again.”

Xue Ni nodded and gave it.

Xue Ni did not continue her sculpting activity anymore, but looked at the fishing Bing Jiazhi.

The young man sat quietly on the edge of the puddle. Not long after, his bait was fed, but he did not pull his torch, just moved it and let the big fish pull anywhere.

The green fish was seen jumping out of the water.

The longer Xue Ni looked at him, the more she realized that the fish's body was covered with fishing lines.

Then moments later, the fish was stuck with the threads he pulled like he was trapped by his own foolish actions.

The fish moves with Zig-zag, and without him realizing it sets a trap for himself.

Bing jiazhi calmly picked up the threads that were stuck on the riverbank, then pulled them.

The big fish jumped high and finally landed on the ground. Then it jumped up and down and a moment after it became quiet.

Xue Ni nodded and continued her activities. Not long after, Bing Jiazhi came and said, “I've done it.”

Xue Ni put the tool chisel, then took out three scrolls. “latilah this,” He said while handing it over.

Bing jiazhi nodded and saluted then left from there.

...----------------...

It rained in the afternoon, but not too hard. Her voices can be heard from inside jiu jiu's room. He looked at her with a smile.

Outside, everything was washed by dripping water. A cold wind came in and flew the curtains.

The girl smiled and enjoyed it.

He stood up and picked up his Diary and sat in front of the window.

He always enjoyed quiet time accompanied by the sound of rain and lightning in the sky. It was very calming to write in such a peaceful manner.

Usually, Nonanya was training in this afternoon, therefore, she could take longer to enjoy this atmosphere.

He opened his Diary gently while reading it calmly and recalling the memories he passed by.

After a few pages, he stopped.

There was a page that was very reminiscent in his heart and someone who was very much in his tribe, but now it was impossible for him to obtain it.

The time of those memories had already passed very far, but he still could not forget them.

When he was little, he was very shy and stood at the corner of the wall to peek at Huang Shu and Bing Jiazhi playing. He was eager to join them, but, he could not and was ashamed. Moreover, he was the son of a servant; he did not deserve to be with them.

But one day, Huang Shu left the house. Everyone looked at his disappearance, including him and his mother.

But, who would have thought, Huang Shu approached him.

She was very embarrassed and stood behind her mother's clothes.

“Shy markets. Beautiful miss..”

With a witty face, Huang Shu stroked Jiu jiu's head, then laughed out loud.

It was the first time he had been treated like that. He looks at everyone.

He thought his mother would be angry, instead smiling kindly.

Jiu Jiu let go of the grasp of her mother's clothes and walked forward.

“What's your name?” Huang Shu asked cheerfully.

Jiu Jiu was silent for a while before answering. “Jiu Jiu.”

Huang Shu laughed. “Alright, Jiu jiu someday, will you be my servant?”

Jiu Jiu was surprised and silent for a moment. He looked at his mother to give his opinion. His mother smiled kindly and nodded.

He then looked at Huang Shu's mother and her father. They both smiled kindly and nodded.

“Good.”

Huang Shu laughed and spread both his hands. She hugged Jiu Jiu hard. Jiu Jiu was surprised and slightly trembled. He slowly hugged her.

Huang Shu's body was very soft and fragrant.

After hugging him, Huang Shu let out a gleeful laugh. “Basic coward.”

Huang Shu approached him and looked at him at a very close distance, almost kissing the jiu jiu.

Jiu Jiu broke out in cold sweat and her heart skipped a beat. However, there was a sense of joy that he had never felt before.

She was very fond of Huang Shu's delicate and petite face; she liked her black hair and her sweet smile. He likes his motivating and cheerful words.

Jiu Jiu never expected, her first meeting with Huang Shu, made her fall in love.

He wrote in his diary at the time, ‘it was so strange as a falling cloud; it was so awesome as to see a crystal in the sun. But... Too bad, so hard to see; so hard to have.

At the end, he wrote, ‘ the right wing I have.’

It has two wings, first on this page and second on the reverse page.

When Huang Shu left, Jiu Jiu was lonely. One day, he hid in a corner of the wall and saw Bing jiazhi sitting under a tree.

He looked at her for a moment. He saw her gloomy and sad.

By forcing himself, he came to him. “H-hai.” was so nervous saying that.

Bing Jiazhi did not seem to hear it, so he forced himself to do it again.

“If you want to sit down, please..” Said Bing jiazhi in a slightly high voice.

It offended Jiu Jiu, but she sat down beside him and asked, “Why are you moody?”

Bing Jiazhi was silent, as if not hearing it. When Jiu Jiu wanted to ask again, she suddenly answered him, “Now I believe, Granny is the same as children like us; stupid, utilizing something, cunning and angry.”

Jiu Jiu was silent for a moment to think. “Whose granny?”

“Grandma Huang Shu. Do you know him?”

Jiu jiu shook his head.

“Better not to know him. If you knew him, you'd be surprised. He is not as you can see; the old jackfruit is like a viper, like a ferocious ape and has a creepy gorilla-like voice.”

“I can't believe.”

“Pain basis!”

Bing jiazhi stood up and pulled his hand. He led Jiu Jiu into a room.

Jiu Jiu actually did not want to go to a creepy place like this, which was underground, but what could be done, she was too nervous and broke out in a cold sweat, she said, his heart also skipped a beat as Bing jiazhi held his hand.

“See this..”

Bing jiazhi took the existing torch and walked forward. At that moment, a very large creature was seen. The creature has very sharp teeth like a gorilla, but there are long fangs and filled with green feathers. On both of his arms were gleaming green wings.

The creature was sleeping soundly and a voice was slowly heard from his breath.

“I-That...”
