“We will past that area on foot” answered Untara. not gonna waiting any longer. he guide his horse slowly with caution. He don"t know who has waiting at the end of the forest. if they are ambush them, then sitting on the top of the horse will be more dangerous. His friend once had bad luck, when his friend has been ambushed with sneak attack. The attacker were set up rope to overthrow his horse. Later, in difficult position he was unable to defend properly. And now Untara do not want experience the same circ.u.mstances.
Sedayu heart became more uncomfortable. he fell something wrong, therefore once again he asked” is there something wrong?”
Untara don"t want to lie again “be prepared, maybe we will face a danger or we might have a new friend”.
As if Sedayu pulse seemed to be stopped. With an agape mouth, he asked “Kakang, would be better if we came back ?”
“The fate of Uncle Widura depends on us” answer Untara.
“Then, what about our situation?” urged Sedayu.
Untara doesn"t know how to answer that question. A reasonable question. But, there has something that his brother doesn"t understand. He has an obligation to save Widura troops, together with his uncle for year in one troops, and lastly they are on Pajang side on the conflict with Jipang. For that there are several urge to keep forcing him to walk forward.
Because Untara doesn"t answer, Sedayu urged him “kakang, why not we came back, does our situation more value than other”.
“It is still uncertain Sedayu that we will encounter a danger. Even, maybe
we will got a friend for the journey, children from Uncle Widura maybe?”
Nevertheless, he himself doesn"t believe his own words. because Sangkal Putung still far away.
