Api di Bukit Menoreh Book 01 – Chapter 27

Frightened of the darkness before him, afraid of his situation. He was afraid of everything. But he was even more afraid of his brother dying.
Untara was getting weaker and weaker. Nevertheless, he always tried to maintain consciousness. It would be a joke if he died because he lost too much blood. For him, it was better to die with a sword wound through his heart. But he did not lose hope. He believes that G.o.ds is Most Merciful. Therefore he always prayed in his heart, may G.o.d save him.

“Oh G.o.d,” he cried when from inside the bushes came a gallant blackish horse. “That"s my horse”
