" Yuck! Huk! Huk! Yuck! "
The young man knelt down and coughed while holding his stomach. It seemed that the kick really made him feel an incredible pain.
" Hey!? What are you guys doing? You don't know who he is? "Someone shouted at the man's stomach-kicker. " He is Young Master Hattala. Nephew of the Mayor! " They warned.
This event attracted the attention of many people there. Not long ago it happened that many had swarmed them.
Two people who helped the boy were surprised when they heard the name of the Mayor called.
He was a little sorry for his exaggerated attitude. However, upon looking back at the young man holding onto his stomach, his regret disappeared.
" Yes! As usual. You can only take refuge behind that name. Otherwise, you guys are just useless gibberish! " scoffs.
Hearing the taunts made him get emotional "What did you say?! "
" Oops! Forgive words! I didn't know you were deaf "
Their attention was distracted upon hearing someone barge through the crowd.
" Excuse me! I'm going through "
The person who was chasing the child arrived at the scene. Seeing the child stealing his already injured cassava, made him a little surprised. However, he was even more shocked when he saw Hattala crouching holding her stomach looking in pain.
Not knowing what happened clearly, it makes him confused what to do.
" Sway! Give way! " the voice of the soldier broke the atmosphere there.
" What is this?! " Ask one of the soldiers.
" I just want to help this person " said Hattala while pointing at the person chasing after the boy while grimacing in pain.
The eyes of the soldiers widened as they looked at the person grimacing in pain.
" Young Master Hattala! " they shouted almost simultaneously and then approached the young man.
" Who made you like this?! "
" This girl! " Answer to the man who fought with Hattala's stomach-kicker was quick.
Arya was stunned to see that happen. It's not that there's only people helping the boy. But also because of who helped him.
The two older sisters he met in the forest immediately reacted when the young man harmed the running boy.
" He stole my cassava. Young master Hattala just wanted to help me, I don't know why this girl hit him "the cassava seller's testimony to the soldier there.
" Yes! I witness. These two girls directly attacked Young Master Hattala "Shouted the person who was near Hattala adding a little.
" You! " Luna stared intently at the young man "Your mouth! "
" yes. That's how it happened. You can ask the people here if you don't believe it! " he added again without caring for Luna's annoyed gaze.
Convinced that no one dared to interfere with their matters, the young man who was with Hattala grew even more daring to make up stories.
" Well if that's the case. I'll wait for "Luna to stare at the cassava seller "Say. How much is that cassava worth? "
" 1000 Arta! "
Luna raised her eyes "You crazy?! Those two cassava you said 1000 Arta? You want to blackmail me? "
Knowing that he was on the strong side, the cassava merchant took advantage of this situation to his advantage "The boy has often stolen my merchandise. Not just cassava. Chilies, tomatoes, corn and some others "reply to the cassava seller.
Luna looked at the boy who was with Ciel. The boy seemed to have been very frightened. Ciel now cleans the traces of soil on his body.
Not having the heart to prolong this matter, Luna relented "Alright! " Luna took out 10 pieces of banknotes worth 100 Arta's "It's grab and get away from here! "
" All right! Then I assume it's done " said the cassava seller and left.
" Ciel! Let's take the kid. We have to treat the wound "
Luna already did not want to continue the matter any further. However, it seemed like there was something he had forgotten.
" So you think it's over? How's my? " Hattala stood with the help of the soldiers who were nearby.
Luna turned around "What's wrong with you? " Luna drew near to Hattala, made the young man's guts shriek "This child also stole yours? " ask Luna while looking at her sharply.
Holding the soldier's arm next to him, Hattala replied "You have hit me. You have to compensate for my medical expenses "he said a little nervously.
Ciel who was furious heard the cowardly young man immediately protested "You also harmed this child. You should have treated him! "
" How can you equate me with that rotten little thief! " the young man shouted, not accepting.
" All right! I'll treat your injuries. But before that, let me add a little so that I am satisfied "Luna clenched her fists.
" Soldier! What are you guys doing! This crazy woman wants to kill me. Catch her! " hattala shouted at the nearby soldier.
The soldier gasped "Miss Luna. Even though I know you. But, you can't hurt people all you want. Moreover, this Young Master Hattala, the nephew of the number one person in this city. You should come with us to town hall "
" I'll come with you! But you also have to catch him "pointing Luna in Hattala's face "He also harmed the child. "
The soldiers fell silent as Luna asked them to also capture Hattala.
Looking at the puzzled looking soldier, the young man next to Hattala spoke up again" Soldier! The boy stumbled and fell on his own. No one saw the Young Master harming him. It's just this crazy girl's accusation "
The soldiers stared at the people gathered around them. No one dared to speak.
Luna and Ciel also looked at them and felt disappointed. How could they not dare to defend this little boy. This city is really troubled.
" Miss Luna. If no witness sees Young Master Hattala doing as you say, then I can't catch him "the soldier said", But you still have to come with us. Because there was a witness who saw you hit the Young Master "added the soldier.
" I saw it! "
Everyone who was there turned to a young man who had just spoken.
" I saw this man sticking out his leg to hurt that kid over there! "
Luna and Ciel were shocked when Arya suddenly appeared and immediately defended them.
When Ciel wanted to greet him, he was already by one of the soldiers there.
" Young Master! "
The soldier ran over to Arya. " I'm sorry Young Master, you better not interfere with this matter "suggested the soldier.
Arya looked astonished at this soldier's suggestion "Why? I really saw this guy harm that kid! " said Arya unconsciously raised her voice a little.
" Hey you! Don't interfere. Take care of your own business! " the young man next to Hattala seemed unhappy with Arya's presence.
" If I don't interfere, this man will be free! " the Aryan protest.
The soldier looked a little panicked. If these people fight, all plans can fail.
The soldier immediately approached Hattala and immediately whispered in his ear. When the soldier spoke Hattala's eyes immediately widened and glanced at Arya.
After the soldier was done, Hattala seemed to consider something then nodded.
" Alright, I don't want to prolong this matter anymore. I have more important business. We'd better forget about this and consider it done until here. "break up Hattala suddenly.
" Young Master, why are you— "
" Quiet! He was the young man called Ki Bajra earlier. " Hattala cut the young man next to her in half whispers making the young man instantly shut up.
" How is Miss Luna, do you agree? " ask the soldier to Luna.
" Yeah ... I also don't want to prolong this matter anymore " replied Luna.
After having glanced once more at Arya, Hattala and the young man left in the company of the soldiers there.
" Arya! Since when are you there? " Sapa Ciel.
" I saw everything "Arya replied a little regretfully with her doubts.
" Arya! If you have time, come to our store. This child must be treated "Tawar Luna.
" all right. "
When Ciel wanted to take the child, he refused. " I have to go to my sister's place, she's sick. We haven't eaten for three days" said the boy.
Arya remembers that the boy once said that his sister was sick "Sister, where is your sister? "
The boy took the three to his sister's place on the edge of town. The two of them only lived under a tree that had a few banana leaves with no walls at all.
When he got there, the three were surprised by the condition of the little girl about 7 years old who was there.
" We have to do something. If not, this child could die. " Ciel immediately panicked when he saw the condition of the younger brother of the boy was already dying.
Seeing his condition that was already very weak, they hesitated just to lift him up. Fear that it will make the child worse.
Luna immediately stood back up "You guys wait here. I'll find the Physician and bring him here "
But his steps came to a halt as someone held his hand.
" At a moment "Arya held Luna" I could cure her. "
