Henry's first days as a tour guide wasn't as easy and simple as he thought, but he enjoyed his job and didn't complain anything. Especially after he was promoted to be a senior guide for larger tourist groups instead of small and scattered groups.
His salary finally got raised after a period of time he worked his job thoroughly and thus he could afford plenty of better things for him. Made still by his side as his mentor and Henry often visited him after returned from working and they often have dinner together.
Henry became a tour guide for western tourist groups those speak English instead of Chinese tourist groups. He'd already guided plenty of tourist groups from western countries like from UK and US, thus he was trusted by his tour and travel company of which employed him as company's tour guide employee.
Henry fulfilled his promise to exclude any Pura temples and sacred places those weren't appropriate for tourist trap spots in his tourists traps list. This plan was accepted well by the travel company he worked at there. It was true if mostly the foreign tourists did never care about Balinese spiritual subjects and mystical things unrelated with their purely hedonistic purpose they visited Bali island.
Made was pleased much and he trusted Henry more after he proved his promise prior. At least Henry was considered as the guardian of Balinese sacred places and sacred belief. That's why the barong spirit was attracted to Henry's presence since first time. Henry admitted if he didn't afraid upon witnessing the god's apparition of barong spirit's true form in his dream, as if he'd already familiar with the barong spirit itself.
Henry finally accepted his new life at Bali island and got adapted in his new environment after long hard struggles to stay survive prior. He found his foundation stone at this very Bali island and within help of Made prior of course. He earned his salary better, thus he was freed from his crisis difficulty like when he was still jobless prior.
But however behind Henry's already restored welfare, still Henry was alone and lonely as a gay individual who's yearning for a soulmate. Made wasn't his love interest ever since first time and Made also realized it. But however what could Made do for Henry? Made regretted his mistake to prematurely revealed the vision to Henry and apologized for that often, even if Henry did never consider it as the main problem.
Once Henry had been disheartened and disdained by a guy he thought was a gay, though definitely not. But Henry just wanted to simply befriend that guy without any love intention, though the guy instantly disheartened him and detested him as if he was a horrible weird creature than a human being. Brokenhearted Henry begrudged that mean guy who was a just white people foreigner and since then he bore a severe wound of heartbreak inside his heart.
Hence to the incident, anytime Henry found that guy popped up anywhere, especially at the beaches at Kuta, Henry avenged that guy by soiling his ride with dirt and rubbish, or just simply stomped on the ride's seat with his dirty footwear and spit on it angrily. The guy didn't know who did it, as Henry successfully terrorized that guy without being caught.
Thus the guy seemed to disappear from Henry's presence eventually, perhaps terrified post Henry's terrors on him. Henry hoped that guy realized what he did prior to Henry and surely Henry did never ever pardon that guy for being mean and disdainful against him. That was happened before he met Made and befriended him.
Henry's theme song for all disheartening subjects befallen him was: Rollin in the deep, which was covered by Adele. Henry loved that song ever since he listened to it and the song's meaning often made his wounded heart burning with craving of avenges against injustices befallen him.
Made did never know the story as Henry did never tell it, though Made could scanning over Henry's thoughts through his sixth sense ability. Henry hoped he could confess it, though he was embarrassed by that incident he thought was too ridiculous neither to be remembered nor be retold as stupid story.
Made just gently reminded Henry to let go of those disheartening memories out of his head for the good sake of his happiness. His wounds were actually very hard to cure, but Made reassured Henry if his wounds could only be cured by his upcoming soulmate and Henry must be patient for it.
Neither Made as just a human being nor even the gods can heal Henry's wounds. But the wounds would be self healed by themselves through the times and of course through the help of that someone who was destined to be Henry's soulmate. Thus Henry must reciprocate that soulmate's incoming when it's the time, no matter who he is and like how he would appear to Henry's presence.
Henry didn't want to argue with Made about that subject and Henry thought Made had already discovered it through his sixth sense ability. It wasn't Henry's nature to be lenient against someone who meddled into his personal secrets. But however he respected Made as his spiritual mentor and took any good advices from Made without questioning them.
Henry was still rollin in the deep of his loneliness and got no idea how to get out from it. It wasn't the time yet and Henry wasn't that really patient one, even if he'd tried hard. But however Adele's song also gave him a satisfied feeling despite of it prickled his wounds for its first lyric.
Bali island wasn't as Henry thought prior as he didn't even find any real evidences about LGBT matters being exposed to public, unlike certain countries like Thailand which already legalized LGBT matters, even same gender marriage.
But however those were few clandestine queer communities in Bali island of which Henry discovered prior from socmeds, though those communities were useless for him. So do for at least two pubs located at Seminyak area which were allegedly known as the queers night clubs, as Henry surveyed those places directly prior he met Made and got employed as tour guide.
Henry actually discovered few gay couples during his visitation at those two pubs prior of which they're just neighboring each other. But sadly they didn't appeal to Henry and Henry didn't find anything matter for his effort seeking for his soulmate from those place of which regarded by Made as filthy and inappropriate places.
Made warned Henry if his soulmate he wished for wasn't definitely came from such filthy and immoral environment, thus Henry shouldn't revisit such places anymore for his own goodness.
Henry just obeyed it as he realized he was also a sober guy lack of interest against clubbing and filthy habits like smoking or drinking. The same trait he shared with Made and those made them really matched each others as good friends and mentors.
Despite of it, Henry however interested in fitness and bodybuilding matter as he regarded his appearance was very unflattering because he was so lanky and awkward. Upon heard it, Made just laughed leisurely not because of mockery reason.
Made understood Henry's dream to become a big and handsome gay muscle man. Thus Henry was asked to always keep struggling and sooner or later, Henry will have his fat chance to do body transformation and become the shape he wanted so bad.
It was weekend night, Henry with Made and Made's family went to a major shopping center at Kuta for strolling, despite of Made was a traditional person who lives old fashioned life, but since he met Henry and studied English from him, Made's thoughts became more modernized and surely Made thanked Henry and treated him like his own brother.
They returned back home after strolled and Henry separated from them all to return to his boarding room which located separately from Made's house.
