Episode 15 : The Search And The Escape

It is now the next morning and and deeper in the forest, Bulan and Sidapa were walking together.....

Sidapa: (looks at Bulan walking while smiling) so.... how was it?
Bulan: (looks at Sidapa confusedly) what do you mean, how was it???
Sidapa: (grabs and hugs Bulan) how was the magic last night???
Bulan: ugh... (blushes) the lake turned gold.... that was great......
Sidapa: (looks seriously at Bulan) seriously?!
Bulan: what else do you want me to talk about?
Sidapa: you can't just accept a kiss with somebody without any reason....
Bulan: tell me first what is the reason why you kissed me hardly last night... (lies his back on a tree)
Sidapa: (leans his body closer to Bulan) to show ownership... to have you....
Bulan: that sounds so abstract...
Sidapa: fine! I like you... wait no... I am in love with you....
Bulan: (blushes down) we haven't known each other that much and you're telling me this...
Sidapa: and you are going to get married with somebody who you never literally know?!
Bulan: I do not want to...
Sidapa: do you think I am going to be happy about that?!
Bulan: (eyes widens at Sidapa) (looks down shyly) that is why I said I do not get want to get married.....
Sidapa: so.... you do not like her? will you ever not love her???
Bulan: I thought you own me.. (touches Sidapa's cheeks) tell me what your thoughts and tell me what is your plan???
Sidapa: (kisses Bulan softly and pushes Bulan hardly in the tree) you are not going to get married to her.... (continues walking)
Bulan: (smiles at Sidapa) hey Sidapa....
Sidapa: what?
Bulan: despite of having to know you just now.... I like you too... and I am the most happy person for us finally meeting each other.....
Sidapa: (smiles) (walks to Bulan) so... where do you want to go???
Bulan: anywhere... just not home.... (holds Sidapa's waist)
Sidapa: sure.. I will be showing you this mountain... the continuation of this forest that was named after me... Mt. Madjaas...
Bulan: (looks at the mountain) would this be scary???
Sidapa: I will protect you... (holds and pulls Bulan's hand) I promise.....
Bulan: (follows Sidapa) (stares romantically at Sidapa)

At the forest closer to the Batumbakal tribe, Liksi and Lakam camped near a pond.......

Liksi: (lights up a campfire) here... we will stay here for lunch and we will continue the search....
Lakam: are you sure that we won't get lost here??? we are also deep in this forest now...
Liksi: everyone is in the forest right now to find Bulan.... (sharpens his spear) and besides, we are boys anyway... thankfully, the girls did not follow or we will carry a bigger responsi....
*Amaya and Sahaya approaches Liksi and Lakam*
Sahaya: (cuts off Liksi) hey boys!
Liksi: (eyes widens at Sahaya) oh God! I just told these girls to stay back at the castle because of their pesky....
Lakam: (covers Liksi's mouth) let them be here... they are already here and we have no choice.....
Amaya: well... Sahaya is very stubborn... she really wants to help out in finding because everyone is...
Sahaya: yeah... (looks down sadly) and I just want to prove Bulan that I am really nice and I am not pressuring him...
Lakam: wow... this is an opposite... proving him to be a friend instead of being a lover?
Liksi: didn't Bulan tell you to not pressure yourself...
Sahaya: but  he is pressuring himself by not pressuring me... look where he is now, he is not around here because of me..... its pretty obvious that he is avoiding me...
Lakam: (looks down) (murmurs) only if you knew...
Sahaya: what?
Liksi: (elbows Lakam) (whispers) shut up!
*Lakas and Lakan approaches everyone*
Lakas: (looks at everybody) what the? we did everything to avoid you all but we are still stuck on the same area of the forest???
Amaya: you are now showing how much you hate us just because you hate your brother...
Sahaya: just tell us that you still have a little heart for your brother...
Lakas: never! I am doing this for my name and for my own good.... I even want father to see me sometimes.....
Lakam: so... what are we having for lunch??
Liksi: (walks away) as if you are having a part in our lunch... (looks for something to hunt)
Lakas: (clenches his fists) (stares angrily at Liksi)

It is now dark at night and at the  Madjaas mountain, Bulan and Sidapa are almost at the highest level of the mountain......

Bulan: (keeps running) Sidapa..... what are we waiting for? lets reach the top while the moon isn't yet in the middle of the sky.....
Sidapa: (catches his breath) you.... (struggles to climb) this is how it feels like to have a human body... you easily get weak after doing such work.....
Bulan: you could have teleported us to a place right?? now who is stupid here?
Sidapa: no... I also wanted this... if I want to make use of this human body, then I have to experience any strength and weaknesses of a human body..... how about you? why aren't you tired? and by the way, be careful of a huge hole in the mountain....
Bulan: I have never been this free...... and besides, you know me as a kid who runs around the village and play rough with my friends...
Sidapa: (catches up with Bulan) yeah... I really did notice....
Bulan: what took you so long to talk to me....
Sidapa: there was a perfect time for anything.... and this is a perfect time....
Bulan: cause I am getting married???
Sidapa: (rolls his eyes) only if you knew more.... (continues walking)
Bulan: (catches up to Sidapa) wait... what do you mean, only if I knew more? is there something more bad than getting into a fixed marriage???
Sidapa: (feels something coming) wait..... (looks around) (puts Bulan behind him) be careful...
Bulan: why???
*an arrow jumps out of nowhere*
Sidapa: (catches the arrow perfectly) (eyes widens at the arrow) they are here......
Bulan: what?! (looks at the arrow)
