Malghavan
"Okay. I'm here now. Please continue whatever you started earlier," said Juno.
Basta just shook his head, while it was Alvo who started talking after getting approval from the other Xanders.
"Okay, as you saw earlier. A middle-aged man is very sad because he has to lose his only family now, his wife. He has even tried to commit suicide twice but always failed," said Alvo.
"Because the gods don't want him of course. Moreover, it turns out that this man has a child that he doesn't know. I think there must be someone who can not only make him happy but also make him realize that there is a child he must find, "said Vaz who also responsible for such a meeting.
"Okay then. I think I'll step in on my own. You know I'm pretty good at handling parents," said Basta who was immediately agreed by the others.
"Okay, if everyone agrees. And Juno, you can accompany Basta down," said Alvo.
"Why me all of a sudden?" Juno asked who honestly was actually reluctant.
"Help Basta your brother. This is all for the sake of the survival of Malghavan too right?" Dion said reassuringly that finally he couldn't refuse.
Malghavan, a city above the violet clouds that never stop circling the earth. The ancestors of the gods changed the function of Malghavan which was actually a place for outcast demigods into a place to create happiness for all mankind on earth. Demigods are either having a god father and a human mother or vice versa. Demigods have a longer lifespan than ordinary humans but are not eternal like gods. While the demigods in charge of Malghavan are called Xanders or protectors of humanity. Xanders in Malghavan is the fourth descendant or great-grandson of the three most powerful gods that ever existed, Zeus, Poseiudon and Hades. The number of Xanders to date is seven men who are handsome and possess extraordinary physical strength.
Malghavan is a small town that is prosperous and very beautiful also full of purple and golden colors. The purple color comes from the Bolinus Snail fossil that somehow fills the entire city. On every side of the country, the leaves are pink, the water is as white as the clouds, all the buildings are beautiful and simple. In addition, the city has a guardian phoenix with a reddish-purple flame that protects Malghavan from the outside world. Blurring the view so that no earth creature can see let alone get in there. While the Xanders live in a very large house almost like a castle is the place where the Xanders live. The white castle with trees and trumpet flowers vine covered almost half of the building. When the super large wooden door opened, a magnificent living room greeted them. The right and left sides of the building are the bedrooms of the Xanders even though they hardly ever sleep.
Reluctantly, Juno followed his brother into Orion, a large golden door at the far end of Althea. A door that can take them to where the owner of the book is or go wherever they want. Who would have thought, Basta and Juno who actually looked similar despite having a five year age difference, arrived at a bridge. Glancing around to see where they were. A large rectangular clock towers, Big Ben, England. Looking for the figure of the man who turned out to be standing on a bridge that already seemed deserted and dark in the middle of the night.
"Sir, what are you trying to do, Sir?" Basta's question was getting closer.
"Wh-what? Who are you guys?" Ask the man, Mr. James.
"Hm, I'm Basta. This is my younger brother Juno. I don't know what difficulties you're facing lately but-" Basta's words were cut off.
"But if you feel that your life will be much better when you jump, go ahead," Juno said suddenly.
Basta was already glaring at Juno. Mr. James tried to balance his position.
"I-I don't have anyone anymore. The only wife I love has left me forever," Mr. James' shoulders shook.
"Are you sure that your wife has left you alone? Have you made sure that nothing is left of your late wife? Most importantly, do you think that your wife will welcome you with open arms when she sees you die in such a pathetic way?" Juno asked.
Mr. James relaxed, Basta swiftly caught Mr. James and brought him down. The chubby middle-aged man was crying in the arms of Basta who had super wide shoulders. He recalled his life with his wife many years ago.
"I let him down once. We were divorced. For two years we were apart. I feel guilty that I lost those two years with him. I feel guilty for letting him suffer alone at that time. I don't know what he was going through and how he handled it. I still feel guilty and want to accompany him at this time. I'm afraid he is also in trouble and needs me there, "crying Mr. James echoed.
"You'd better drink first, okay?" somehow Juno had handed him a bottle of water and Mr. James drank it calmly.
"We will take you home. Show us the way, okay," said Basta, who was very persuasive.
Guided by the two foreign men, Mr. James walked to his house which was only two blocks from the bridge. Even Big Ben looks bigger from the window of his house when Basta and Juno peek at him from inside the house. An old house that is still comfortable typical of England.
"You said that you lost two years of your life with your wife. There's nothing wrong with you trying to find out what he's been through in those two years, right? Maybe reading a diary or looking for old memories of your wife. Who knows you will find a way to let go of the wife's death, "said Basta at the time.
Mr. James complied. How he entered his room and seemed to take some books from the drawer beside the bed. After unlocking it hidden in the sleeping pillow.
Basta just went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked at its contents. Cook the super popular British fish and chips all over the world with the right ingredients. Mr. James who came out of his room with a thick book of course confused to see a stranger was in his kitchen.
"I'm sure you haven't eaten since morning. Don't worry, I'll make you some food," said Basta, which somehow made Mr. James just nod.
Mr. James sat down and started flipping through his wife's diary. "I'm honestly always curious about its contents. But he always hides it even though I can read it secretly. But I really appreciate it and don't want to break her trust, "said Mr. James still sad.
"Maybe it's just your wife's way so you can see the contents at the right time," said Juno again.
