THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU
LOST CHILDREN FIND THEIR WAY HOME

            “Acc Where!!” Sadana hits Akmana's shoulder. “You really found this village. Though I've been looking for it for five years, but it turns out I never expected the mountain to block this village.”

            “Is it true in this village there really is an heirloom?” Deon's mouth asked involuntarily from her again.

            “Yes, that's what we believe from my family story.”

            “Isn't it from your family story, the heirloom was stored somewhere??”

            “Ya so.”

            “Why do you want to find him, Sadana?”

            “I want to see how great that thing is that my family is so obsessed with finding it.”

            Deg. Deon's heart was racing. Deon could not distinguish his current detachment purely from his own heartbeat or Akmana's heartbeat. But clearly Deon also felt his heart rate getting louder.

            He was the descendant of that evil disciple. Deon looked towards Sadana and remembered the story of the three disciples from the village opener.

            All these disasters, the bad ending of the Madaharsa story and the destruction of the village, were all the work of this man. That is what Deon believed when he saw Sadana who was now smiling broadly looking towards the village where Madaharsa and Baram lived. Damn you, Akmana!!

            Deon was angry at Akmana through his mind. You precisely delivered disaster to this village!! But ... Deon felt a little regretful of his anger at Akmana. This is not entirely Akmana's fault. This village, this mountain and this place, was once the home of Akmana. Somehow Akmana drifted in that sea.

            Deon looked back where the great sea behind the mountain was. Somehow Akmana drifted into that sea and then ended up being discovered by Grandpa Ian. Which is clear .. Ian was the one who probably told the past of Akmana to Sadana and made Sadana who was obsessed with finding the heirloom using Akmana to find this village.

            “Let's go in there! We may not be welcomed!! But try!! Have you damaged our boat??”

            “Ya.”

            “Good! That way will be our reason to settle in this village and find what we are looking for!!”

            Deon looked at Sadana's back and felt anxious to hit the man right now. But what power, Deon could not move as he pleased because he was bound to the body of Akmana. Damnit damnit!! Shit man!!!

            Byur!!!

            “Airport!! Wake up!!”

            Deon's gaze temporarily returned dark. The only thing Deon heard was the voice of the woman who called him by his real name. I haven't heard that name called in a long time. Who called me by that name??

            Deon's eyes slowly opened. Faintly, Deon saw a familiar figure. The figure looked at him with panicked, anxious and worried eyes.

            “Airport!!! Wake up!!”

            A second after hearing the voice again, a fairly firm punch landed on Deon's chest. Buk!!! The punch was tight enough to make Deon who was still half conscious immediately open his eyes and spew out a large amount of water. Hoekkk! Uhuk, uhuk!!

            “At last you woke up too, Dewangkara!!”

            Deon turned his head after he finished spewing water that might have come from his respiratory tract. Deon stared once more at the figure that had since called his name and hit him quite hard.

            “Ka-you!! Gi-how can you be here??” Deon looked around and found himself on the beach. His last memory also appeared along with his long, bad dream. Uhh!! I remember, I fell from there and drowned!!

            “You really drowned like I was worried!” said Algiz who was now sitting and looking at Deon with a relieved look.

            “So this is my fault??” algiz responded with a sharp look of eyes as if he wanted to kill Deon right now.

            “Obviously no. It's one of those women who wasn't careful and made me fall while working!”  Deon explained. “Only ... The words that come out of your mouth seem to come true. I'm just asking you to be careful when you talk.”

            “No thank me??” Algiz quipped Deon, replying to Deon's words that seemed to blame him.

            “Ya, thank you. Thanks to you, I survived.” Deon looked around again and realized that the place was very quiet. “A-did no one look for me??”

            Algiz pointed to himself. “I.”

            Deon chuckled seeing Algiz pointing at himself. “Besides you.”

            “So they were looking for you. But because the waves are too strong, they postpone your search.” Algiz turned his head and looked at Deon up close and made Deon nervous.

            “What?” Deon touches his face and discovers that he is not wearing the black mask he did when he met with Algiz. My face, I don't wear a mask because the accident happened when filming just ended.

            “You are a famous actor with that troubled fan.” Algiz spoke as he opened the black mask on his face.

            “Ya, there you go.” Deon was nervous because Algiz apparently recognized him. “Ke-why did you open your mask, Rae??”

            “Support fair. I've seen your face and I let you see my face. It turns out that before we met on the roof of the hospital that time, we had met before.”

            No matter how I looked at it, Algiz's face was completely similar to Madaharsa's. They both are cut in two. Is Algiz the reincarnation of Madaharsa?? Seeing Algiz's face clearly for the first time, Deon was stunned and at the same time Deon's mind asked many questions.

            “Y-yes. If I don't remember wrongly, you were the woman at the airport that time and the woman who swapped seats with me on the plane.” Deon tries to lie and cover up the fact that he knows Algiz is no ordinary person.

            “Given that we met at the airport at that time, you should know by now that I am not an ordinary person?” Algiz stared intently at Deon.

            Glupes. Deon gulped his saliva due to the pressure that emerged from the gaze of Algiz on him. “Ha-should be so.”

            Algiz suddenly made a smile on his lips. “Yah .. I don't blame you for the many coincidences that happen between us. It's just .. “

            Glupes. Deon swallowed his saliva again before speaking due to his fear mixed with his pleasure at finally being able to see Algiz smiling before his eyes. “Ha-just why??”

            Algiz approached Deon as if to hug Deon. Glupes. Deon swallowed his saliva again because suddenly his heart was beating very fast. Dag, dig, dug.

            “Ka-you're too close, Rae!!”

            “That!” Algiz raised his hand and pointed towards the back of Deon. “There's something!!”

            “A-what do you see??” Deon looked back and found a skeleton of a hand visible due to the full moon. “I-it!!” Deon panicked and trembled as this was the first time seeing a real skeleton.

            Algiz got up and walked closer towards the skeleton of the hand. Without the slightest fear, Algiz took the skeleton and watched it closely. “This should be age-“

            Algiz suddenly sculpted and confused Deon.

            “Rae?? What was?? Why are you suddenly silent?” Deon tries to call out to Algiz, but Algiz is still, still and motionless. Why her?? Feeling something strange with Algiz, Deon forced his still very tired body to get up and approach Algiz.

“Rae?? Didn't you hear??” Deon tries to call Algiz when the distance is close to Algiz. But once again, the call did not get a response from Algiz and made Deon who had been afraid to get closer, forced to get closer to Algiz and touch the skeleton in the hands of Algiz.
