Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Punishment

Rachid enters the forest. He carefully moves towards the sound. He is trying to hide as much as he can. When he reached the source of Screaming, he saw Seiko was torturing himself. Seeing him suffer in pain made him uncomfortable, he also notices, Seiko is shaking. Seiko shouts, "MIND Clean, Clean my Mind, Clean!!"

He assumes it is because of his disease. He leaves the place. He is scared, never thought Seiko endures this much pain every morning.

After completing every delivery Seiko and Farhat went to the court. Rachid and Ali wanted to go but they refused.

In the court, "We met sooner than I expected Seiko Khan."

He was the judge of Seiko's case. There were other advocates and King Jabir. There was an agreement on the table. They signed the agreement. After that, the judge says "So, Mr. Seiko Khan are you ready for your punishment?"

"Yes."

The judge shouts, "Kalam!"

A buffed man with a whip enters the room. The judge shows a signal. Kalam destroys a log of wood with one hit.

"He will hit you with this whip tremendously if you want, you can choose to go to prison."

"No, I'm fine. By the way, going to prison is not in the law, right."

"Wow, I'm impressed you know that. Ok, Shall we start?"

They took him in a crowded place, people were standing in a circle, and in the middle of the circle, Seiko is on his knees. Kalam starts to hit him. He shouts in pain, but he never tells to stop. Ali, Rachid, and others saw this, they could feel the pain. Seiko's back turned red and bleeds a little. Seeing this, the people who witnessed it became scared. Rachid saw how Seiko tortured himself. He is sure Seiko didn't recover. It made it even scarier to him.

After taking 100 hits nonstop, Seiko's punishment is concluded. He meets Ali and Rachid, he laughs and says "What happened tsundere, Ali? Do you feel sad for me?"

"How come you are laughing after that? Didn't it hurt?"

"No, it didn't but at all."

"Then, why were you screaming."

"If I stayed silent, they would think they can also bear it and do crimes. Now they are scared, they will think before doing that crime."

What Seiko said is true, but there was another reason, due to torturing himself daily, his body is heavily damaged, which made the-wisp hits more painful.

Ali touches Seiko's back. 'What is this wet thing, must be sweat.' He looks at his hands, 'it's blood!' He was in shock, Seiko's back was red so, it was hard to identify whether he was bleeding or not. After confirming that it was blood, he took Seiko to a doctor.

Rabea is considered to be the best Doctor. She was the one who talked on behalf of Seiko. Ali and Rachid took Seiko to her.

"Oh! Isn't this Seiko?"

Seeing Seiko's wound, she instantly took him and started the treatment. After the treatment, She wanted to talk to Ali and Rachid. But Rachid requested Ali not to come. Rabea said "We used recovery magic and we had to use medicine and some surgery. But that wasn't enough. His recovery is fast but he is heavily injured."

"I know. It's because of his disease. He tortures himself to get distracted. Is there anything you can do about it?"

"Sorry, we can't. What is happening to him is unusual we don't know what is even happening. I am sure he will get this seizure for a certain amount of time. You can try to hold him until he becomes normal."

"Thank you. Please tell him to stop this and Please don't tell him that I told you about this."

"Ok."

Ali asks "What did she tell you?"

"He needs time to recover."

Rabea Tells Seiko not to torture him. He says, "Do you want me to ruin another girl's life?"

"Look, I'm not saying that, but you need to stop hurting yourself. Go somewhere else, meditate. Just don't hurt yourself."

Ali and Rachid entered the room. They saw fully bandaged Seiko.

Ali, "Oh, Wrong Place." He realized it was Seiko.

"Sorry. I couldn't recognize you."

"No problem."

In 3 days he got fully recovered. He went home. While crying all the children hugged him. One of them said, "I didn't want you to die." He pats everyone. With a smile on his face, he says, "I didn't die."

All of them started to play. Afrin and Ali were cooking. Afrin says "Emma, can you feed the cows?"

"Ok."

When she was coming after feeding the cows, she encountered a conversation between Farhat and Rachid.

The next morning, As usual, Seiko goes to the forest. He sees Rachid, he asks "What are you doing here this morning?"

Rachid with an aggressive voice says, "Why have you come here?"

"To wander around. You should go and sleep."

Seiko is shaking. However, he is trying to hide it. Rachid saw through it.

"Why have you come here to hurt yourself?"

"How do you know that?"

"It's not important how did I know that. What's important is your health and you."

"If I don't do that, I will do something that will make me hate myself."

"Then do something else, do meditation. just do something to distract yourself. Do you want to see the children cry?"

"..."

"Doctor said the seizure stays for a certain time. If I freeze you until you become normal. We can prevent you from hurting and save you from the disease. Let's beat your disease together."

Seiko couldn't resist those words and said, "Ok."

"let's start by doing meditation." His words carried enthusiasm.

Rachid just realized, he doesn't know what meditation is. He asks Seiko "How do I meditate?"

"I don't know, ask the doctor later, as for now freeze me."

At the same time, Emma asks Farhat "Big bro Seiko had to suffer because of his disease?"

"He does not have a disease."

"Don't lie, I heard you and Big bro Rachid was talking about it."

She asked Farhat in the way that he couldn't lie. He says "Yes."

"Then teach me how to be a doctor. I want to treat him."
