Rawal sat Jaga Saksena and sat behind the boy.
Pasting both palms, Rawal drained pure warm air to help Jaga Saksena overcome the tightness due to the pounding of the right horse's foot hit her chest.
Keep Saksena herself grimacing in pain while showing the mimic of someone who is having trouble breathing. But it wasn't long. After being helped by Rawal, Jaga Saksena began to breathe normally again.
"About back, let me check your breastbone!"
Rawal laid the boy down, undressing on the chest. There's a horse-slut bruise in there.
Slowly Rawal massage, not just massage because the man uses saliva from the roof of the mouth as a lubricant. Something that makes Jaga Saksena have to be good at stealing breaths!
"Your bones, they're amazing! Strong, nothing broken!" Rawal said as he continued to massage, there was admiration in his words.
"REally?!" Pekok who was already crouching beside Rawal was a little surprised. "If so, you have the talent of being a swordsman, take care!"
"Rubber. But that can be discussed later. For now all one has to do is sort in this section. Otherwise, the chest veins will clot like a tangled mine!"
"Do it, you're the best at this, Kakang Rawal!" pekok timpal.
A few days later, Rawal was finished.
"How's it look after?" ask Rawal.
"Thank you, Uncle. Uncle is very kind, please help me when I'm nobody uncle."
"Everyone should help each other. What are you feeling now?"
"Happy, Uncle. There are people who care about me." Keep Saksena plain.
"I mean, how do you feel about your injuries."
"Oh this, it's still a little painful, Uncle. But it's okay. Byung said, pain is a sign we are still given grace by the Almighty."
"Gift?" rawal wonder because pain according to his understanding is a disaster.
"If we feel pain, then we will be furthest from pride to the Almighty. The Creator who has never been exposed to pain, never sleepy let alone sleep."
"Haha!" Rawal and Pekok laughed together.
"Why are you laughing, Uncle?!" ask after both are over.
"You also seem to have a knack for being a speaker, your choice of words is simple so I can easily understand them." Rawal replied before looking at Pekok to ask,
"What do you think, Adi Pekok?!"
"What?!"
"Do you understand what Jaga's saying?"
"Little."
"Then why are you laughing, Adi Pekok?!"
"I'm laughing, because you're laughing, Brother!" answered the plain pekok while scratching his long hair.
"Now you know why he's called Pekok!" rawal said to Jaga without intending to ask for a response. "Let's find a store that used to open there," he continued to invite Jaga and Pekok.
All three rise. Before walking, Pekok teaches how to approach horses.
"Smoke the horse on the side, not the back. Because some horses don't like to be swiped or held from behind." Pekok walked towards the horse Keep Saksena. "And lead the horse like this."
"Thank you for the lesson, Uncle."
Keep Saksena practicing what she just taught. Take the side of the horse and lead it. There was no sense of kapok he found in his heart.
Not long walk, no,
"That's the shop!"
Pekok pointed to a building that had a fairly large courtyard. The building itself did not appear clear, dark. Not because of late night, but shady trees on the left right make the atmosphere of samun (shabby, haunted_pen).
"What's wrong with this village?! Only the sun had sunk but it was already so quiet." Slightly grumbling, Rawal tethered the horse to the place he had prepared and then stepped towards the store.
"Is there anyone inside?! We need a little food and drinks!" shouts Rawal while he is in the store.
This shop has no outside door. Only the inside of the tavern had a door leading to the inner room.
"Excuse meiiii ...! Is man breathing in therea ...?!" Pekok shouted because no answer was heard. "We're on a long way, and it's still a long way from us! Please welcome us!"
No need to shout Pekok, because now there are footsteps approaching the door.
Krieett ...!
The door leaf opened slightly, a peek from behind it.
"Ohh human! Please ... please ...!"
There was a figure behind the door saying a sigh of relief and then let him enter while opening the door wider.
Apparently, the door opener was an old man who still looked well-built.
After everyone entered, the grandfather closed the door again.
"Of course we're pure humans, Ki. What's the matter why the store is closing, Ki? The houses we passed by were also quiet."
The old man from the shop did not answer. He allowed his three guests to sit down and go to the wall to enlarge the lighting lamp of the room.
After taking a seat, then the owner of the tavern began to tell about what happened to his village.
Throughout listening to the story, Rawal and Pekok looked at each other several times, also frowning. Just like Jaga, the boy only knew that the banaspati could kidnap humans and even harm them.
Keep in mind, banaspati only scare. Several times saw the appearance of banaspati when he was 5 or 6 years old, making Jaga ask this question to Byungya.
"It's called banaspati. Creatures that are lower than humans. Then he won't harm you!" so said Byung so Keep relaxed if you see the appearance.
"According to your story, the only ones kidnapped were young women, right? Then why are you afraid to open a store, Ki?!" ask Rawal after the shop owner finishes his story.
"I told you, Lur. There was one resident, a middle-aged man who had fallen victim to the banaspati. He's burned to death!"
"Oh .. Yes also ...."
Rawal was silent for a moment,
"This is it, Ki. You're making us some potluck, if you don't, you can cook, right?" Rawal asked Jaga Saksena's sash bag and showed the contents to the store owner.
"Oh of course, as long as you don't ask for something that gets me out of the house, I'll provide it."
The owner of the store got up with a fried pouch Keep Saksena to the back room.
Sounded like the old man took his wife to cook in a wasp (previous kitchen_pen).
After the shop owner,
"Alright, Watch! Looks like you're a lucky boy!" Rawal said with excitement.
"I mean Uncle?"
"You'll know what rice is!"
"REally?!"
"Yes, because in this tavern, rice has become a staple!"
"Wow awesome, Uncle!"
"Truly brat from the stone age, how could he be that happy just because he was going to eat rice?!" pekok's mouth jerk while shaking his head slowly.
That's when,
"Some one's coming here!" Keep Saksena slightly exclaiming to make Rawal and Pekok join the ear.
"Don't ...!" Rawal rose towards the door leaf to peek.
