Libulan

Episode 44 : Brother Goes To War

It is now getting dark and back at the castle of the Libulan's, the whole Libulan family were having a dinner together........

Briseo: (watches everyone) so everyone..... even if there is a war starting soon, I want you all to stay put because it is not gonna happen here.. and I will make sure of that.....
Thales: (eating) yes and I really do hope that our people will successfully get rid of those stupid pirates... stupid terrorists..... it seems that people are really obsessed with the riches that this tribe has, Briseo... (smiles at Briseo)
Briseo: I wouldn't be surprised... it is both a curse and a blessing to have everybody know about our power...
Thales: (nods suspiciously at Briseo)
Sidapa: (stares seriously at Thales)
Lakas: (eats silently) (looks at everyone)
Ajas: ugh king Briseo???
Briseo: what is it Ajas???
Ajas: (looks at Lakas) about the marriage that we tackled before.... I just wanna say that you all have to consider that because I mean it......
Sahaya: (shakes her head) (looks sadly at Thales) dad.... do something, if there would be somebody one getting married... it should be me and Bulan....
Bulan: (eats silently) (feels silently annoyed at Sahaya)
Thales: I think.... (looks at Ajas) before you confirm this Ajas... you also have to tell your father about this and yes... ask him for his blessing.....
Ajas: (rolls his eyes) why would I ask for a blessing if father insisted me to get married and this is actually one of the reasons why I am here..... (looks at Lakas) he is the reason why I am here....
Briseo: but can we not consider the belief anymore because we are powerful than those gods who make curses..... like, do gods even actually exist??
Sidapa: (clenches his fists)
Liksi: (looks sadly at Sidapa)
Bulan: (feels nervous) am I actually getting married???
Lakas: (looks concerned at Bulan) ugh... (coughs) I will consider the belief... I believe on the belief.....
Ajas: (eyes widens at Lakas) what do you mean Lakas?
Bulan: (looks nervous at Lakas) Lakas????
Lakas: I finally decided actually... (sadly looks at Bulan) I will get married... I accept the marriage for Ajas.....
Ajas: (smiles widely) finally!!!
Amaya: are you sure about this Lakas???
Briseo: yeah Lakas... are you really ready for the marriage life???
Lakas: why? (looks pissed at everyone) have you ever asked Bulan the same thing about marriage??? I am ready and better have me first.... (looks at Bulan) just let Bulan live his life more......
Briseo: (nods confusedly) okay??
Sahaya: (feels annoyed) father!!
Thales: (keeps eating) I do not have to do anything about that... I am sorry Sahaya.....
Bulan: (looks confused at Lakas)
Lakas: (smiles slightly at Bulan) (looks away)
Sidapa: (looks sadly at Bulan and Lakas)

Deeper in the night, at Lakam, Ulan, Kidlat and Lakan's area, everyone was gathered again at the fireplace before Lakan completely leaves for war.....

Kidlat: (looks at the sky) are you sure that we do not have to bring you Lakan to where you are going???
Lakan: I am going with a lot of people and... there is nothing to worry about.... I am armed.....
Ulan: (notices Lakam sadly crying at the corner) ugh Lakam, are you okay????
Lakam: (keeps crying)
Lakan: (notices Lakam crying) ugh Lakam? why are you crying?? are you okay??
Lakam: (keeps crying) I am.... (gulps deeply) I am just upset as what a brother would act... especially that I am seeing my brother leave.......
Lakan: oh Lakam... (holds Lakam's shoulder)
Lakam: I am sorry... (wipes his tears) I know we are not actually that intimate brothers and I still know how you hate me being emotional but..... but if I could show you how much important you are..... this is me crying Lakan... I wish you would not go.... (hugs Lakan)
Lakan: (sadly hugs Lakam)
*Sidapa and Bulan approaches everybody*
Hala: (points Sidapa and Bulan) look guys... here are the two.....
*everyone notices Sidapa and Bulan*
Lakan: oh guys.... you all are here to join me and my few hours left??? thank you though for the support I have with you all... (smiles at Bulan) especially you Bulan, I also jumped to Lakas' hate about you before so I owe you so much but.... I am glad you and him are doing fine than ever....
Bulan: it is fine but... are you sure about doing this??? (feels emotional) if you listed yourself there, I could do something now.....
Lakan: Bulan, we might not have been close but you know my passion... and it was a priviledge to be close with your brave brother.... I learned from him a lot....
Sidapa: (looks at Bulan sadly)
Bulan: he really is brave... (tears fall on his face)
Lakas: (approaches everyone) ugh... (coughs)
*everyone notices Lakas*
Lakas: (looks at Lakan) so.... shall I bring my student to the other soldiers???
Lakan: (grabs all of his stuffs) we are now going huh???
Lakas: I am staying in the camp all night before you all actually set off in the morning.... but now, I am already giving you all the blessings.... for this war you are facing.... give honor to our tribe..... (pats Lakan's back)
Lakan: (happily nods) I surely will... this is all for you guys......
Lakam: (keeps crying hardly)
Lakan: (walks back to Lakam) Lakam.... I am not dying..... I am surely going to keep safe......
Lakam: (keeps crying) you really have to.... we have been alone all our life... I can't help if I lose you too...
Sidapa: (sadly listens to Lakam) (feels a death vision in his mind) (shakes his head) (touches his head)
Hala: (looks concerned at Sidapa) (feels Sidapa's visions) (feels nervous)
*everyone looks confused at Sidapa*
Bulan: is there something wrong Sid???
Sidapa: (shakes his head) no... nothing!
Lakan: so yeah... we have to take off now.. and see you all soon... I will bring victory to you all.....
Lakas: (smiles down) you guys better sleep too..... let's go Lakan... (starts walking away)
Lakan: (points Bulan) Bulan... take care of my brother... (follows Lakas)
Bulan: (hugs Lakam) I will.... always been.....
Lakam: (keeps crying) Lakan....
Lakan: (keeps walking away) (watches Lakam) (feels emotional) (holds himself to not cry)
Lakas: let's go Lakan.....
*Lakan and Lakas left*
Lakam: (hugs Bulan) (keeps crying)
Bulan: (keeps hugging Lakam)
Sidapa: (watches Lakan leaving) (feels nervous)
