"That's enough! We have to go home." His arms held me, while my whole body was lifted to the ground. I tried to pull him, but he was so strong.

"I have to find--" I opened my mouth to say something but he looked at me.

"We are going to find it later. This place is quite dark, so we have to be careful." He said with a serious face.

"You said that my unluckiness will fade if I am beside you, so I will be okay."

"When did I say that?" he said while wearing his half-frowned face.

"The other night."

"When?" My face flushed as I remembered the time when I cried.

"The time when I interrogated you."

"Ahh... What I mean is I will do everything to protect you, so you can have a higher chance of survival.

But that does not mean that your unluckiness will go away. Look at this." He pointed to his feet with blood dripping on the floor.

"You injured yourself just by walking."

"That's cheating!"

"That is why we have to go home. We are not safe here."

"No!"

I tried to struggle, but it was futile. It felt like I am tied to a big rope. Shier started to walk.

"That is not the way to my home." He turns his body and walks in the opposite direction while saying.

"I know." I smiled and felt the urge to tease him.

"Are you sure you know the way?"

"Yes and please stop talking."

"You are holding me like a sack of bag and I can't even talk?"

All of a sudden, he stops and puts me on top of the stone.

"What?" I asked in confusion because I can't see his face with his head down.

"Your feet."

"My feet?" I looked at my feet and saw the blood dripping onto the ground.

"You are losing your blood." My eye widened when he reached my feet and his head bent down.

" Hey! What are you doing?" I pushed him. To my surprise, he stops in the middle.

"I am going to heal it."

"How?" My mind was still amazed, even though I had an idea of what was going on. They have a weird way of treating the wound.

"Ahhh" He opens his mouth and takes his tongue out.

I knew it!

I don't know the reason, but even though they cause and collect pain. Surprisingly, their saliva has a healing mechanism.

"You don't have to do that. My feet are dirty."

"What is dirty?" He also has the talent to shorten my patience.

"Look at my feet. It has a lot of dirt that came from the ground. Your stomach might hurt if you lick it."

"The ground is dirty and your stomach will hurt?" He said while still confused.

"No, your stomach will hurt," I said patiently.

"Your stomach?" He asked in confusion.

"Yes, my stomach," I said in a one-line tone as I slowly lost my patience.

"Ahh... my stomach."

"The ground is part of the earth, why do you call it dirty?" I cursed at myself.

Why do I always sleep in the classroom, every time science and earth have been discussed by my teacher?

I wanted to tell him that he is from heaven, so an upset stomach is the least of his problem.

I raise my hand and tap my chest.

I tried to explain as simply as possible.

"We humans have a shorter life and easily die. Even the dirt on the ground can make our stomach hurt if we eat it. So you don't have to lick it."

"But your wound, it's bleeding." He lowered his head and tried to lick it. I unconsciously grab his hair.

"Don't! there is a proper way to heal it." His head is stuck in midair, while his hair is stuck in my hand.

"How?" He asked. That time, I scanned the area.

I smiled when I saw a stream.

"Ahh there! You can see running water there?" I let go of his hair and point to the left side of the forest where there is a stream.

"Yeah."

"Let's go there" I excitedly tap his shoulder.

He lifts me again, while I naturally cling my arms to his shoulder.

He put me down on the stone beside the stream and stayed in a sitting position.

I can't help to smile when I see his face. It feels like he is a puppy waiting to be pat.

Unconsciously, my hand lifts to pat his head. But my hand stopped when he flinched.

We both look at each other awkwardly.

How can I though of him as a puppy!

"Ahhh... put some water on my feet and clean them."

He move to get some water using his two hands and tried to clean it.

After a while, when he didn't know what to do. He stopped and looked at me as if asking what is next.

"There are leaves that use as antibacterial we need to find that."

"What is antibacterial?" He asked. That time, my world stopped.

"Antibacterial?" Even I asked myself.

How can I explain to him that antibacterial is a substance that tends to prevent the growth or spread of bacteria without even asking the meaning of substance or bacteria?

I can explain what antibacterial, but he asks a lot when he encounters every word he doesn't know and I don't know how to explain everything to him.

A cool breeze runs through caressed me as cold sweat run's through my skin.

I don't know what to do!

I wish that studying was my hobby when I was a kid. It was a waste.

Come to think of it, my only hobby when I was a child was following my Aunty.

My Aunty keeps telling me to study and not waste my time on useless things.

Ahh... I wanna cry.

"Ahh, antibacterial... ahmm... it is herbal leaves. It helps me cure my wound."

"Herbal leaves?" He asked again, Urggg!!! I can't help but scratch my head and smile awkwardly out of frustration. Then I touch both of his shoulders.

"Herbal leaves are a good thing. Let's just find them so we can go home."

"Good thing..." He mimics.

"Going home?" The corner of his lips lifted as a smile was visible on his face. Even his aura brightens up when he understands that they can go home.

"Okay." He gently lifts her and moves to find the leaves.

I naturally move my arms to hold on to him.

Maybe reading is not a boring thing to do. I will try to read a lot when we go back home.

I smiled as I thought of the word "Home".
