Episode 32 : The Brothers Suffering

It is now early morning of the next day and somewhere at the middle of Mt. Madjaas, Bulan was there still wandering away from his hometown.......

Bulan: (feels tired) (touches his shoulders) (catches his breath) I cannot move anymore..... I cannot even..... (coughs) I cannot even walk to be specific.... (cries angrily) (outbalances) (falls on the ground) (looks at the sky starting to shine sunlight) at least.... no one is near me or else..... (feels dizzy) I am dead...... (slowly closes his eyes) (falls asleep)
*Ulan and Kidlat wanders around the area*
Ulan: (looks at the sky) it is almost morning.... I think we better find a place to eat and prepare breakfast....... (looks around) I will find a best spot......
Kidlat: (nods) sure brother.....
Ulan: (left)
Kidlat: (looks at the sky) it is surely gonna be a good day today.... (looks around) we better not get into serious troubles with wild animals or even rude travellers..... (notices somebody lying on the ground near him) wait..... what is that? (approaches Bulan's tired body) (eyes widens) wait... it is a being..... (feels worried) (shouts) Ulan? are you still there? I found somebody!! I found somebody who seem to be weak or.... maybe dead!! (starts to panic) (touches Bulan's wrist) no.... he is alive... Ulan? (keeps looking around) can you hear me?
Bulan: (peacefully sleeps)
Kidlat: (looks sadly at Bulan) hope this man is okay.. I better find a near good spot.......

It is now afternoon and at the fields of the Batumbakal tribe, Lakas and Lakan were hanging out together watching the farmers farm......

Lakan: (looks around) so.... have you guys found Bulan????
Lakas: as if I would care for him...... (rolls his eyes) he shouldn't have dealt with that if he didn't deal with me.....
Lakan: (feels concerned) Lakas.... I am your friend and I am grateful that a royalty like you would be friends with me but...... I won't tolerate harrassment...... he just did what is right...
Lakas: to make him look like a bad guy....
Lakan: and I knew you for your worth and how meticulous you are... why would you give our your body like that......
Lakas: (looks pissed at Lakan) are we really friends????
Lakan: I just said that... (notices a group of farmers having in trouble transporting crops) wait.... I think they need help.... I better help them out too.... be right back...... (left)
Lakas: whatever..... (turns around) (sees an incoming arrow shooting to him) what the?!! (shouts) no! (falls to the ground) (dodges the arrow) (sees the arrow stabbing the ground next to him) (feels terrified)
Liksi: (approaches Lakas angrily) you are so lucky because I am in the point of killing you this time.......
Lakas: (stands up angrily) Liksi... what do you think you are doing? you just killed me! (pushes Liksi angrily)
Liksi: (loads an arrow on the bow) (points the arrow to Lakas) do not touch me like you refused Bulan's help!!
Lakas: (looks nervous at the arrow) you cannot do that to me...... I am a higher class.... so do you! you have a reputation..
Liksi: and so does Bulan.... and he was down to destroy his own reputation for your sake.....
Lakas: (looks sadly at Liksi)
Liksi: actually.... he is not gonna run away if you sided on him like he was for you.... (about to shoot the arrow to Lakas) but you lost his trust and I am not gonna forgive you because of that!!!Lakas: (steps away) stop..... I know you cannot do this to me.....
Liksi: but I would really do it..... in fact, I am mad at you but I wanna ask your with respect to have a duel right now..... the first who bleeds must learn from the pain.....
Lakas: (stares angrily at Liksi) you dared me to that? sure... you picked the wrong enemy......
Liksi: you better get your weapons..... (smiles evilly)
Lakas: I will be back... (turns around) (about to leave)
Liksi: (takes out his sword and slashes it at Lakas' back)
Lakas: (shouts in pain) (falls to the ground) what is that for??? (feels his back bleeding) (looks at Liksi)
Liksi: (slashes the sword at Lakas' face)
Lakas: (shouts in pain) (cries hard) you are unfair..... a traitor!!!
Liksi: now you know what it feels to be betrayed..... do you like it???? (pulls Lakas' hair angrily) (whispers softly to Lakas) dare to tell everyone that I did this to you and lets see your family fall down..... I know Bulan would love that....... and you would also if you sided......
Lakas: (shouts) (cries hardly) I won't!! I won't!!!! I won't!!!
Liksi: (takes a lot of stones from his pocket) but the lesson is not over yet..... you deserve this and if you are a strong person, accept this and learn from this... the consequences of hurting your own brother who never did anything but to love you!
Lakas: (feels frightned) (closes his eyes) (cries hardly) (feels guilty)
Liksi: (throws a stone at Lakas' head)
Lakas: (head starts bleeding) (falls to the ground) (tears falls onto the ground) (feels intense pain)
Liksi: (keeps throwing rocks all over Lakas)
Lakas: (shouts in pain)

It is now night and at the forest, Sidapa was there crying on a tree alone.......

Sidapa: (feels worried) Bulan... (cries hardly) where are you!!! (shouts) please need me again!! it is so unfair that you can need me and I will be there but when I need you.... I cannot find you! Bulan... do not do this to me..... please Bulan!! (grabs some rocks and throws in away angrily)
*the rock explodes and burns*
Sidapa: (covers his face with his knees) I will not give up.... I will get you here.......

At Kidlat and Ulan's place, the two were there hanging out taking care of Bulan who has been asleep the whole day.......

Kidlat: (yawns) (watches Bulan) I am so excited to see him awake....... (looks at the campfire) I hope he will be okay soon....
Ulan: (angrily stares at Bulan) how are you sure that he is not a bad person... he seem rich... automatically rude.......
Kidlat: Ulan... he seems nice... I can feel it........
Bulan: (yawns softly) (slowly opens his eyes)
Kidlat: (smiles) look... he seem awake now! (notices Bulan waking up)
Ulan: (points an arrow at Bulan) just in case.......
Bulan: (yawns) (notices Ulan and Kidlat) ugh hello? where am I? am I in safe hands???? (looks nervous at an arrow pointing at him) or maybe not......
Kidlat: oh Ulan..... (pushes the arrow away from Bulan) we are not bad guys...... how about you????
Bulan: (looks around) I am a prince running away from a wicked land.......
Ulan: like what? Palayan Tribe???
Bulan: (eyes widens) you know that????
Ulan: why??
Bulan: (feels confused)
Hala: (secretly stands at the branch of the tree above the 3) (watches Kidlat, Ulan and Bulan) wow..... Bulan is lucky to have nice travellers finding him... I better give these people a blessing tomorrow...... and Sidapa should know about this... (feels sad) I hope he is not mad at me anymore....

I think this is one of the best episodes too.... it is just so sad and hopeless....
