Chương 36: Banyu Tibo Lake & Waterfall

[This is the place where Vino and Bryant's life begins to change completely because fantasy events will start to come into their lives]

---

I looked into Bryant's eyes meaningfully. He took off my clothes. Then he took off the shorts he was wearing, and this time I took off my pants, it didn't have to be completely naked, we were both wearing only panties.

Bryant led me to the edge of the lake. The splashing water that flows from the water source behind the big new flows rapidly, and strangely why on this fairly high hill, the source of water can be said to be the water that comes out quite fast.

It's weird, but it's right in front of my eyes right now.

"Slow down," Bryant said holding my hands as we both started to enter the lake. The water is cold but refreshing.

"Huh" I sighed when I felt the cold water seeping into my body when Bryant and I were already in the middle of the lake. This lake is not too deep, I can still breathe easily because the water is up to my shoulders.

So now I'm wrapping my arms around Bryant's neck because he's tall and if I bend my legs just a little, my whole body can be completely submerged.

Bryant held my waist so I wouldn't sink too deep as we both started walking closer to the Banyu Tibo waterfall.

I took a deep breath when I smelled a very fragrant smell, like the smell of a jasmine flower that had just bloomed.

"Wow So Sme..."

"Stop" Bryant immediately shook his head while covering my lips with his index finger. He hinted that I shouldn't say something I wanted to say out loud.

"Don't say that sentence when you feel what you are feeling now, because everyone who approaches this waterfall must feel the same way, but indeed it is a prohibition that should not be said while in the lake!" Bryant explained as he pressed my body against him, so now there's no distance between us.

I just nodded meaning that I understand what Bryant explained because it's a Jamali thing that shouldn't be said so I undo my intention to say that sentence.

For him to just cut me off just now, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened if I said that.

I'm now cuddling with Bryant under the fountain flowing over us now. I closed my eyes and leaned against my chest near Bryant's neck. He hugged me tightly and so did I.

It feels like we're just taking a bath together here, we can't do anything other than taking a shower. Because you shouldn't do that in a place that can be considered sacred...

For almost five minutes, the two of us just sat quietly feeling the flow of water that came down from the Banyu Tibo waterfall, the water was different from the one in the lake, it was more refreshing and not too cold. It feels very comfortable, being able to hug loved ones and feel the splash directly from the sacred waterfall in this place.

"Before we go back, we have to say a wish. Whatever the request from our deepest heart, believe it or not, it will surely come true" Bryant whispered as he asked me to close my eyes.

When I closed my eyes a sudden thought crossed my mind, the faces of Tristan and Bryant filled my head. I was confused that their shadow just smiled at me, but suddenly someone appeared in the shadow, and that shadow came from behind Tristan.

Who is he, I closed my eyes tighter while thinking, what will happen to me later?

And at that moment I caught a glimpse of an image that the one beside Tristan was very similar to my face, the same but the difference was that his hair was long, gosh it was Angel. It's Angel not me, beside Tristan is Angel, I can see the picture.

And when I focused on Bryant's image, I saw beside him was myself.

So what is the meaning of a picture I'm seeing right now?

I'm so confused.

I opened my eyes again and by the time I opened them, Bryant was still tightly closing his eyes, so I decided to close them again.

And when I closed my eyes again their image disappeared, what now appears is instead Daniel's face, which I never imagined, even appears when I close my eyes.

But Daniel's picture was very different from the picture I had seen earlier in Tristan and Bryant. Daniel's face looks so bright and so clean, what does that mean. After that, I also saw Angel's face reappear beside Daniel, with almost the same model as Daniel.

Bright, bright, and clean. He smiled at me.

Gosh, what is this? How come it looks so scary, I want to open my eyes, but I'm still curious. Is this a spiritual image? Did Bryant see the same thing?

Shortly after, the image of their faces faded away. But when I was about to open my eyes slowly, I suddenly saw a face that seemed familiar. But vaguely.

I closed my eyes again to see who had come now into my sight.

I was silent for a moment when I realized that what I saw now were people I knew, and of course people I care about.

"Daddy"

Subconsciously I said that and he smiled at me.

He looks very clean, and bright like the picture of Daniel and Angel earlier.

But what does all this mean?

I couldn't say a word when papa looked at me with a big smile, I couldn't hold back the tears that were holding back now. I let it fall heavily on my cheek.

It's been a very long time since I can't see his face again, but this time I can see him again after fourteen years since he left me.

"Vino"

I immediately opened my eyes when Bryant called my name while shaking my shoulder quite hard.

"Huh?" I answered spontaneously.

"Are you okay?" He asked surprised to see me.

"Ahh yeah I'm fine, can we go back yet?"

"Yes we want to go back now" Bryant replied while carrying me to the edge of the lake.

Bryant took the towel that had been provided by the guard earlier, and his body was terrible, then he was terrible for me too, when he realized that I was just staring blankly at the lake.

"Vin are you okay?" He asked which made me confused by what just happened which was a bit difficult for me to explain to him.
