The Three Chosen
267. Drive out
Yunda arrived at a place where a man was busy practicing swordsmanship. Yunda looked in admiration at the man who was none other than Jaladra. Upon seeing Yunda's presence, Jaladra immediately stopped his training.
“ What's up Yunda..?” ask Jaladra ketus.
“ I brought you food Jala. Aren't you tired after training..?” yunda asked as he placed the basket filled with food under the tree.
“ Don't do anything in vain Yunda. I will never be able to accept your love because I already love another girl.” Jaladra said.
“ Even though the girl did not return your love and chose another man.?” ask Yunda.
“ Maybe at this time We have not been a match, but I am sure someday he will realize if only I am worthy to accompany him.
All this time Yunda knew that Jaladra loved Hara, but the envy in Yunda's heart made him make various efforts to separate Jaladra and Hara. Yunda lies to Jaladra and says that Hara has a lover and refuses her proposal. Yunda also did something that made Hara a prolonged pain. He mixed deadly poison in Hara's drink. Hara should have died at that time, but unfortunately Hara can still survive until now even though she had to suffer from a strange disease.
“ I know what you've done Yunda. So stop lying..,” said Jaladra suddenly.
“ What did you say Jala, I don't understand..,” Yunda said.
Yunda's reply made Jaladra upset. He turned his body to face Yunda while staring intently at her.
“ Hara never rejected me because she never knew about my proposal. And Hara's pain is yours, isn't it...?!” jaladra said loudly to the surprise of Yunda.
Feeling no use dodging, Yunda smiled and said something he would regret for the rest of his life.
“ Yes. I lied to you because I didn't like you loving Hara. All this time I have been by your side. You never even paid me back Jala's attention. Hara's pain is mine, that's right. I poisoned him with the deadliest poison in the world until he suffered. He shouldn't have to suffer like this if he had died that day. Unfortunately the blood of the holy ancestor flowed within his body until he could still live despite being deformed.!” yunda said loudly.
“ Plaakk..., plaakk...!”
Two loud slaps landed on Yunda's right and left cheeks until it made him stagger to the side and then fall into
the ground. Yunda touched her lips which was very painful with her palm and saw that there was blood there. Yunda raised his face to see who had hit him earlier.
Yunda was startled and tried to fix his seat when he saw who was standing before him. Gayatri, it turned out that she was the one who had slapped Yunda earlier.
“ Tu..., My lord...” Yunda said with a quivering voice while lowering his head.
“ So it was you. What is Hara's fault with you, why you poisoned her and made her life suffer like a cripple. Did you say earlier, You wanted to kill him but failed and could only make Hara disabled.?!” gayatri said wrathfully.
Yunda panicked especially when he saw the presence of his biological father, the king of Graha complete with his personal bodyguards, as well as three brothers namely Iyaz, Izar and Hanako. Unable to resist embarrassment, Yunda was ready to run but his steps stopped because it was blocked by the king's personal guard.
“ Do not run again Yunda, You must take responsibility..!” said Braja loudly while staring intently at Yunda.
“ Forgive Me Father. Please understand me why I'm like this. I love Jaladra and I don't want him to belong to Hara.” Yunda said trying to explain.
“ This attitude of yours is very disgusting Yunda. You're chasing the love of the man who never loved you. Moreover, you hurt the daughter of Hara, the daughter of your own King.” sahut Braja riled.
“ Hara, Hara. Why should I give up on Hara. He's just a spoiled kid who can't do anything. He will not be able to accompany this great Jaladra. Jaladra needs a companion who is as strong as him and that person is Me, only Me.!” said Yunda.
“ But he doesn't love you and he won't be happy even if you insist on being by his side. You saw for yourself how she behaved to you, didn't you.?” ask Hanako suddenly.
“ Shut. You're just a stranger here, so don't try to lecture me.” Yunda said.
“ Don't be sassy Yunda. They're my guests, so speak politely.!” snapped Graha angrily to make Yunda speechless then lowered his head in fear.
“ I..., I get the poison from the next generation.” Yunda said.
“ You even teamed up with the enemy to kill my Son. This action of yours cannot be forgiven Yunda. Guards, drag him out of our kingdom. Don't let him in. The death penalty is every man who tries to help him get into my domain. Because what helps him means to have betrayed this kingdom.!” graha said wrathfully.
Graha's speech surprised everyone especially Yunda and Braja. Yunda dropped himself in front of the Graha king to beg for forgiveness.
“ Forgive Me My Lord, please give me another punishment so as not to banish me from this kingdom. I don't want to be away from my family and my homeland. Please forgive me My Lord..,” said Yunda wailed while crying but it did not shake Graha's heart.
“ As long as I'm alive, I forbid this royal land for you Yunda. Guards, drag him out right now.!” graha said loudly with a darkened face.
Yunda cried hysterically as the Graha king's personal bodyguards dragged him along violently. Raja just stared at the departure of his son without being able to do anything. The king also had to think about the fate of his other family because he was sure he would not be able to live comfortably after this.

Iyaz, Izar and Hanako are performing the two sunah prayers to ask Allah Swt for guidance. Then continued with dhikir after prayer. Afterwards the three of them sat down together to discuss the next step in Hara's healing efforts.
“ The medicine can be found around here. A drug that amazes us and is almost impossible to find in the real world there.” said Izar.
“ Almost impossible...?” tanya Hanako and Izar.
“ That means it's God's creation. And it is almost impossible to find unless Allah wills it to be elsewhere.
The three pondered for a moment then looked at each other with sparkling faces and said one word at a time.
“ That Tree..!” iyaz said, Izar and Hanako simultaneously while smiling.
Then the three met the king of Graha and his faithful wife waiting in Hara's room. After hearing Izar's words, the Graha king nodded.
“ We need only seven silver leaves, seven golden ones and seven tree branches about the size of an adult human finger. Everything should be taken from seven different trees.” Izar said.
“ Sorry if We were presumptuous. But it must be my own Master who took it because my Master is the real father of Princess Hara..,” said Iyaz carefully.
“ No problem. I will do anything for the recovery of my daughter.” sahut king Graha enthusiastically.
Raja Graha also fulfilled the request of the three brothers. He came to a row of trees lined up neatly along the road leading to his palace. It was with great pleasure that the king of Graha took the leaves, fruit and twigs collected in a container by Gayatri.
Now the three brothers are in Hara's private room. Iyaz and Izar recite some verses of the Qur’an and recite while Hanako helps Hara bathe with water soaking fruit and tree trunks. Silver leaves are used to dry the remaining water on the surface of the Hara skin.
When the silver leaf was finished being swept across the surface of Hara's skin, a bluish smoke in the form of a demonic face came out of Hara's body. Although Hara's skin returned to normal, the presence of the devil was quite surprising to Hanako.
“ Astaghfirullah aladziim..,” Hanako said.
“ What's up Brother..?” ask Hara.
“ Gapapa Hara. We are out now yes...,” take Hanako who is hailed by Hara.
Then Hanako told what she saw earlier to Iyaz and Izar who seemed to frown because he believed that there was something behind the pain suffered by Hara.
“ It turns out that this is not as simple as we thought.” said Iyaz and Hanako.
