Kendari doesn't know how deep her relationship with Dirga is or how she feels for the young man. However, she realized, deep in her mind, that from the first time they met, she knew that Dirga was not dangerous for her.
She felt they were that close before.
For five years, she did not go to Yamani and focused on training on Earth. Kendari was always made aware of Dirga's presence in various places: at the end of the ocean facing the beach, in the gaps of the trees, around the forest, and on the roof with such a small hole.
Dirga is always watching over her.
However, they never exchanged letters.
As far as she could remember, she had only gotten a letter from Edwin saying that there would be an attack on Earth in fifty or a hundred years' time, or if in Yamani, in another six to one year's time.
That's why she strengthened her defenses in Berawa and made sure that her men were strong enough to fend for themselves and not be left behind.
