"Now your leg isn't hurting?"
When she discovered the Agni's footstep, Raki changes the topic. Serpent also figured out why she reverses the topic.
"It's not hurting, but still I can't walk I guess."
"Let's stay here. I got everything."
Agni said when he picked up the Serpent's words. He brought a big bag and placed away. When he arrives from Serpent's cave, it's already lunchtime. Before Agni come here, he cooked three meals for three of them. That's the reason he got this much time to show up back.
"Serpent you also originally from Agni tribal?"
"Yes, Why?"
"So then 'According To The Book,' you can't dine with me."
"Why?"
He couldn't find out her nonsense talk, but Agni knew what she's deciding to tell. He learned he'll catch quickly. So, he became fast before Raki.
"Shut up and eat this."
"You said that."
"What I said?"
Serpent understood they are not doing a discussion. This is a massive quarrel. So, he turned to a confuse listener in between them.
"What's Agni said?"
"He said no one from Agni tribal eats with city people."
He explained what went on. He couldn't hold his giggle. Agni also tight his lips. According to their behaviour Raki knew something has cropped up.
"Agni….. What is this?"
"It's….. only a joke. Nothing much."
He caught a red hand, so he declared the truth. He says while bending his head down. Raki felt anger towards him. He prepared a lie to believe that. Agni saw she is lowering her eyebrows and tightened her lips.
"That means it's a lie. Lier. You're disgusting. You said like I'm an unworthy person."
"I didn't mention that."
"Yes, you told. I don't want to eat your lunch. Eat that by yourself."
She spoke while standing. Agni knew his joke turn into serious and now it's become to blow up. So, he caught Raki's hand tightly and pull hard. She couldn't handle herself and she didn't have the energy to fight back, because she didn't eat or drink anything since morning.
"Shut up and eat this. Don't argue with me. I'm not sure what I'll do next."
He speaks like an insane man. Raki also became silent to his harsh words. She sensed how ruthless a person is he, so she got his lunch quietly. Serpent also didn't respond a word and eat his lunch.
'What you're doing now?"
When he saw that Raki is separating all the meat aside, again Agni shouted.
"I can't eat meat. I'm allergy for it."
When they heard that Agni and Serpent both went down into silence for a moment.
"I'm telling the truth."
Agni didn't mention anything because Serpent signs him to not to express anything. They fell silent after their quarrel. But Raki was still in anger with Agni, they considered that from her mood.
Serpent felt upset that Raki will reject to treat Agni, because of their argument, but a few minutes later he got that it's not working to happen. Suddenly Raki gave a hint to Serpent, lead their mission.
"Agni can you do me a flavour. If you don't mind can you take that pillow on the other room."
He didn't hesitate to support him. Straightaway, he moved to the room. Raki got her opportunity when Agni went to the room. She put the 2 tablets into water and mixed properly. When he turned up, their behaviour like nothing went on.
After finishing their lunch Raki thought to relax as a part of the performance.
"I want to sleep now."
Agni showed a separate room that he arranged for her. Not like other girls, Agni's violence became less for Raki. Serpent also noticed that because both forget their quarrel after a few minutes.
"If you want anything, call my name. I'll be here soon."
Raki told as a hint when Agni fell into sleep call her immediately. Serpent understood her hint.
"No worries I'll call you."
He replied while smiling. Agni though they're talking about Serpent's injured. Whole the room became mute after Raki's left.
"Agni… How Kalo master found this girl? She is superb."
"She is magnificent. Everyone surprises her talent. I consider she is one of the best healer in this world. She is originally from the capital, everyone calling her Chuttie, but her original name is Raki. Everyone loves her, but she doesn't know yet."
"So, she is extremely special for the mountain."
"Yes, because no one couldn't heal Arohi, but she did. She is talking now."
"What Arohi can talk now. No, it couldn't... How she?"
"Yes, of course, she could talk now. Including her, there are few more students. Raki is the leader in that team."
Serpent couldn't expect what arose in the mountain and Raki's talent. He is glad about the good news he found out about Arohi from Agni. They stood for a long time to hear this, but it got a long time. He realized after treating Agni, she has turned into more special for the mountain.
"After dining I'm feeling sleepy."
He rubs his eyes very tightly, but he seemed sleepy very badly. Serpent laughs secretly because their mission started.
"You felt distressed that's why. Go and sleep properly. I'm also want to sleep."
He pretends to be sleep to his friend. Agni couldn't straighten his head any further, so he lay his head to the wall. He just chooses to get a nap, but he totally collapsed into sleep. Agni didn't take much time to sleep.
"Chuttie... Chuttie…."
When Agni totally fell into sleep Serpent call to her. Raki hurried to the room when she hears Serpent voice. Raki saw Agni is sleeping very nicely.
"Is he sleeping?"
"Yes Of, course."
Raki asked from Serpent because she isn't clear that he is sleeping or fooling. Because he is lean on to the wall. So, Raki took his head and lay down to the floor. She couldn't take him, because he is very heavy for her.
"Oh… my god. He is very heavy. He shouldn't eat a lot."
Serpent laughs and stays aside to do Raki's job. She took her material to treat Agni. Not like other days, Raki felt little nerves because 1st time she is looking upon a patient without his permission and without his unknowing.
"Serpent don't tell anyone about this especially to him."
"I have promised to you already. I never break promise especially for you. Trust me."
Whatever arises, Raki thought to count on him and she pulled out her hoody from his face. After taking out his hoody, she noticed a dragon mark mask in his left eye fully covered. She removed that very carefully and look at the scar on his face. When she told that she could treat him, Serpent jumps up with glad.
"I can do this."
"Thank god."
"He didn't care about himself. This is a very minor matter when the time passed it's turned into a big problem for him."
Raki explains the case to Serpent while applying her medication to Agni.
We must hang for at least one hour. When the poison came out, his scar will disappear. I should use a small pill to overcome recover."
Raki's explanation creates Serpent to understand the situation completely.
"From now he doesn't need his hoody any further. Do you know Raki, you're the 1st girl after a long time seen his face?"
"Nonsense, if he notices this, he'll kill me."
Raki said while laughing and she placed her medicine into a bag.
"Agni told me you're the one who treats Arohi. How is she?"
"Ahhh yeah, she is fine, but not fully."
She suddenly remembers what she must move next. She didn't express much about her unfinished work. That her normal habit.
When the clock revealed it's already 1-hour left. Raki hurried to Agni and check him. Like she said Serpent saw his scar vanished by his face. He was overjoyed to see that.
"You're great Raki. Thank you so much."
"No worries. Before he work-up, I have to use a small medicine to this cut and then it's become dry. He will never notice what happened."
Everything progressed successfully. Both seemed glad about their secret mission. Before she left Raki put his mask and hoody like before.
"Let's go to sleep before he work-up Otherwise he will realize about our mission."
Raki left to the next room and imitate that nothing went on. Serpent also moved his position.
After a 2-hour Agni work-up. When he work-up from sleep, he went through more calm and healthy. He sensed that he fell asleep for years.
"How long did I sleep?"
"I assume more than 6 hours."
"What? Why you didn't walk-up?"
"Why? Sleep a little more."
"Where's Raki?"
"She is sleeping."
"I'll go and find out?"
Agni holds up from the floor and took off to Raki's room. Like his friend told she is sleeping nicely. He lay near Raki's bed.
"Thanks for helping my friend. Thank you so much. Chuttie."
While pulling out her hair from the face he spoke. Raki slept for hours because she is tired.
"I never forget this help."
He left behind the room dropping her to sleep. He quickly appeared to the friend's room.
"Agni now I can stand up perfectly. My leg isn't hurt, and I can handle it well."
"Oh… really, then we can move tonight."
"Yeah, that's great and Chuttie can finish Arohi's lost treatments immediately."
"Yes, she has an exam within 2 weeks. If she fails, she must move from the mountain."
"Is that so, let's stick around until she work-up. Then we can go."
"We can't delay for that much. It's already late. We have to leave fast. I'll walk-up her."
"Let's gather our items."
Both friends quickly pack their baggage. Agni packed Raki's bag and placed separately. After finishing everything he straightaway came to the room, that Raki was sleeping.
"Raki walk up. We have to move."
"Please give me five minutes. I'll get up."
She buried her face with a blanket and shift to other-side while assuming a little while further. It's become a habit to her if she wants to sleep she definitely sleep. She doesn't matter where is she.
"Raki listen to me. We have to leave shortly before sundown. Get up quickly."
"Please.."
She talks like a drunk person. He learned that she will never be going to observe his words, so he got action immediately. Agni took off her blanket.
"Once I told you. I'm not going to repeat again."
This time his tone turns up serious and high. Raki knew his next step is not great if he got angry he could be killed her. So she planned to get up before he takes serious action against her, but Agni became fast. He raises her sleeping body with his hand. Raki got shocked.
"Okay okay, I'll get up. Put me down."
She begs from him. Raki promised to him she will quickly get fixed.
"I'm not going to tell repeatedly. Okay. I'll give you five minutes. After that, if you are not fit you will not imagine what I'll do to you next."
Agni left the room. Willing or unwillingly she considers doing that. Raki knew he is utterly a monster. She felt like her full energy drop down and there is no energy to act well. However, she didn't respond about that to anybody and didn't show. Raki came out from the room after getting ready. Her tiredness showed from her face that difference clearly detected by Agni. However, he didn't ask about that and didn't reply anything.
Sun also reached down gently and darkness spread here and there. Raki felt little fear for the darkness. She is the one who showed up last and near to Agni. Without knowing to him Raki slowly grabs from his robe. Anyhow, he noticed Raki's difference and instantaneously he captures from her hand and stood her in between him and Serpent and put his hand in Raki's shoulder.
"He isn't as bad as I expected."
Raki thought for a second and her fear also faded.
"Agni let's choose the quietest path. Otherwise, we will late and also it's awfully gloomy."
Suddenly Serpent suggests his judgment. Agni felt his friend is right. They have to choose action immediately before it's becoming quite black.
"So grab your mat. I'll come with Raki."
"Okay, I'll go first."
Suddenly seven colour mat occurred in front of them. Raki shocked after discovered that mat because it's highly colourful and wonderful and it's flying. After seen that flying mat Raki couldn't close her mouth. She looks into that mat without blinking.
"Chuttie. See you on the mountain."
Before Serpent leave, he said to her. When she discovered those she turned to the real world.
"OMG... Am I dreaming?"
"Now our turn. Let's go."
Agni's words became doubtful to Raki because she caught his smirk. Normally he never smiles for a small matter.
"How we're going?"
"Did you forgot how we reached here?"
"No... Please, I don't need to move like that. Please,"
She realized he will never admit to her, so Raki quickly gets rid of his hand. However, like other days this time also Raki fail to escape from Agni. He captured from her waist before she slips away. Raki couldn't attack back because she didn't have enough energy to argue back.
"Please. Can't we walk."
"We're running late."
Agni didn't attend to her single word. Raki felt she will die on the way. Anyhow, Agni tightly hugs her to his body from his both hands and Raki hide her face in his chest. Raki felt some secure every time when she with Agni. She never fears and she could handle her fear little when she with him. Raki noticed that every time, but she didn't tell him because he couldn't manage his own passion. Every time she picks up his harsh words and furious reactions. He never admits to anybody. He prefers to act corresponding to his way. While speculating about these things Raki didn't recognize that they already landed.
"Now I don't care about you. Go where you wish to leave."
Quickly he turns into a monster. Raki couldn't even imagine is this the real person she travelled with.
"After finishing their duty I turned into a pile of rubbish for them. Idiots."
Raki felt like she needs to wipe out him. Suddenly Serpent came near to her and thanks for her help. However, he didn't acknowledge what went on previously.
"Thank you Chuttie. Let's meet again."
She didn't reply anything, but she shakes her head to agree with his request. She noticed it's not going to arrive again. This is the first and last occasion they will contact.
"Don't worry Raki you will never going to meet them, so you don't wish to concern about them."
While thinking those meaningless things Raki directly moved to her room because it's already midnight and everyone sleeping.
