Alam Mandala
departures
If what Liang asked about matters were important, he would not feel irritated. But he talked about strange things, like what if the sun rose from north to south. What if the moon rises and sets from a different place than the sun? And other.
After they arrived, Liang was silent for a moment. He squatted plucking a flower stalk of blue lantern grass and replaced the previous one between his ears.
From them looking, the real one fell asleep under the tree cutely. He held the flute tightly. While the Yang made Liang stood beside the original Yang. Standing there like a statue.
When Liang raised his hand, suddenly the fake Yang melted into a grain of colors and flew away.
After doing that, Liang said softly and left from there. “Come we go.”
They walked through the forest. Bing Jiazhi had no idea where Liang would take him, but he was sure, the girl would not take him without anything important.
For three hours they walked, finally they arrived at the edge of the cliff. There is a gate wrapped around the vines with yellow flowers.
Beneath the cliff of a dense stretch of forest in a beautiful shade of orangeish yellow and purple from the afternoon sun. Nan far away there is a small hill in the light. It makes it beautiful when you see it from the gate.
Liang turned around and smiled gently to Bing Jiazhi.
His smile no one could match. Tenderness and calmness will envelop the person who sees the smile. Her smile was soft, cold as the flowers that had just bloomed in spring or like the flowers that had previously gotten a drizzle rain; very refreshing.
It was more beautiful than the smile of the prostitute girl that Bing Jiazhi liked. Liang did it naturally unlike the prostitutes he came to with skill, which made him less trusting, whether sincerely or not.
Liang raised his right hand, then put it into his beautiful sleeve.
He then approached Bing Jiazhi and pulled out his left hand. After that tie a woven bracelet containing bells.
“Why did you give this?” Bing Jiazhi asked in astonishment. On his right hand was a bell-band bracelet. Both are different bracelets, but they have one bell. And, only a married person can do this according to tradition.
The bell symbolizes the vibrations of a woman's heart that have been given to someone who is very trusting. Only the girls who were already very confident dared to do that. Of course they had known each other for a long time, but why would Liang give it to them when they had only only met for half a day?
Liang did not speak. He then went inside the gate and disappeared.
Bing Jiazhi raised his hand and looked at the bracelet. “Liang, what does this mean?”
He turned around and left from there. He will ask this when he meets her again.
Bing Jiazhi then goes to the place where he first meets the woman who becomes his mother and the man who secretly attacks him.
When I got there, it was night. There's no people there. Only the blue lantern grass continued to emit its light.
Bing Jiazhi walked over and was silent there for a while. It enjoys a calm atmosphere at night and gentle breeze from under the slopes.
Not long after, an adult woman dressed in yellow came beside him. Her face was slightly black in color, but it was extremely beautiful and fitted perfectly with her current body.
He was probably the same age as Xue Ni. But when compared to the two, then Xue Ni was more beautiful.
Bing jiazhi did not need to look at him, he was very sure, if on the side was an adult. The woman enjoyed the beauty of the night. Only two words emerged from his mouth, “Thank you.”
Then it suddenly disappeared. Bing Jiazhi did not need to look for her. His work here is done. It will return to its time. The past is a wasted place, it should not do this, but sometimes humans have to step back to be able to step forward again.
He turned. Just then, in the place where the house before waking up appeared a red gate.
Bing jiazhi walked over and got into it.
...----------------...
After he entered it, the sunlight shone brightly above his head. Birds twittering. And a gentle wind traced every sidelines of the tree.
Just when Bing Jiazhi came, Xue was in front with a faint smile. His face was more radiant than before. Stand there holding both hands in front.
Bing Jiazhi came over and saluted.
When he lifted his face, Xue Ni said, “I always believed that I did not choose a disciple wrong. You've only been gone for a few hours and you've been able to bring peace to Suji village. You have amazing potential going forward.”
“Sorry, teacher, I'm just helping someone. I'm not alone in doing it. There was a girl who had led me to do that. I just follow him. It should be him who gets the compliments, not me.”
“Who is he?” Xue Ni asked with a astonished face.
“Liang, do teachers know him?”
Bing Jiazhi nodded. “She knows guru.”
“I'll look for it later. Let's go.”
Xue Ni did not want to think about it now. There was something more important that he had to prepare for Bing Jiazhi.
Bing jiazhi also did not continue the conversation. He did not know who Liang really was, but it was certain that the girl had a relationship with Xue Ni and temporarily became his wife.
...----------------...
The night quickly passed and the sun shone brightly in the eastern sky. The sky was filled with thin clouds and comets were falling. Seeing it like that, it was like a beautiful rain.
Xue Ni stood under the Hysterical Tree that began to abort its flower petals.
He stared at the riverbank, where the petals of the light purple flowers landed and were shrouded.
After hearing Bing Jiazhi's steps, he said, “Do you want to leave now?”
Bing jiazhi nodded. “I want to avenge some people.”
“I've also let you go.” Xue Ni turned around and gave a badge. “ after doing your business go to the Taoist sect Gong.”
Bing Jiazhi took the badge and watched it for a while.
“And bring this statue. Give it to my daughter.” Xue Ni gave a caricature statue of a cute girl wearing a bright blue Han fu.
Bing jiazhi just nodded and picked it up. After that he saluted.
Before Bing Jiazhi left, Xue Ni said to remember returning to her after getting bored in the Tao Gong sect.
Bing jiazhi. He left after bringing some supplies.
Xue stared at his departure while thinking about who Liang really was. He felt that there was someone he had forgotten, but there was no hint.
...----------------...
On a hill not far from the Xue Ni House, stood a simple wooden house. In his yard was filled with grass and a large tree.
The adults stared into the distance. He could see the departure of Bing Jiazhi who continued to walk away.
A strong wind constantly hit her long hair and the yellow dress she wore.
“I have to go.”
He turned and went into his house. Picked up some stuff and approached his mother who was lighting a fire in the kitchen.
“Mother, I have to go now.”
Longing will surely come to his heart, but he must return the favor before it is too late.
His mother stood up and approached him. He hugged his son gently. So too with that woman.
Then staring. “Back later, we love you so much.”
“I will definitely be back. Mom just calm down. Everything will be fine.”
“Remember always saying a little maybe.”
“Iya.”
“go.”
Who then went from there.
His mother looked at her very adult daughter until the door was closed.
