Kelana Dagang: Part 5

The

Sea

Its water as far as eyes can see, and sky is the only thing at the border of sea.
The azure sky and the white cloud, reflected upon the face of the ocean, giving the
surreal
sense
of
peace
and
tranquility.
ITS
THE
SEA!!!!!!
Only to be interrupted by the shout of a young girl who just found her way out of the
mountain, giggling as she run her way out to only stop before the face of the waves.
Kelana, Kelana, come here. Look, look its the waves, she said as she runs forth and
back chasing and being chased by the waves as if she play a game of tag with the sea.
What are you? A child who never watches the sea before? said her companion.
But
it
is
my
first
time.
Wwoah!
Indeed, this the first time she ever saw anything as vast as the ocean. Maluri live her
whole life in her house at the village. Never to take a step out of the place that she were
born. The mountain and the wood is the only thing she ever remembers.
Hehehe, hey Kelana, Kelana. Come over here. There something I want to show you
Yes,

yes

coming.

So,

what

is

it?

THIS! said her as she splash water to him. Kelana, who surprise of what Maluri did, lose
his
footing
and
thus
fall
on
his
back.
Opss, hehe. Hey Kelana, wasnt you a warrior? How come you so easily surprise by a
weak
little
girl
like
me?
Aa what?! Oh, okay. Is this how you want to play huh? Then, take this! said Kelana as
he
splash
back
water
to
her.
AHH!!

cheating!

There is no cheating in war, weak little girl. Only tactics and tricks, now take this, ahaha.
Ei,

fair!

this

back.

Ahaha

After a while of splashing water to each other, they finally decided to take a rest at the
beach.
Maluri, lying on her back while gazing at the sky above, exhausted while gasping for
breath while Kelana sit next to her still steady as ever only on her face shows a little

smile.

Huh, said Kelana as he look toward Maluri. There she found her looking straight at his
eyes. A gaze that full of purity and a smile full of happiness. A gaze that made Kelana
heart
beat
faster
and
his
thought
empty.
