"Nook... nook... who are you?! Dare to enter our territory?!"
The leader of the Beruk, who was the size of an adult human, asked with bulging eyes and gaping canines as if he wanted to bite Arya Kamandanu.
It turned out that Arya Kamandanu understood what the Beruk was saying, he didn't find it strange at all to be able to hear and understand the language of animals. Whereas humans in general are completely unable to understand and understand the language of animals.
However, Arya Kamandanu, who was just born a few hours ago, can already understand the language of animals.
"This is your territory? I don't understand, because my mother and I also live here."
The leader of the Beruk seemed confused by Arya Kamandanu's answer because after getting close to him he knew that the creature in front of him was of the human race. But why can he understand the language used?
The leader of the Beruk looked intently at Agoes, he was even more surprised to see Arya Kamandanu's figure.
Because the human race in front of him was still a child or a toddler, it could be seen from his bare-chested face and body shape. Only the sensitive part is covered by a small cloth.
The other monkeys were also curious about Arya Kamandanu's presence, moreover, they were just as surprised as their leader after seeing Agoes' figure from a close distance.
"Human race, it turns out he's a human child? Why is there a child alone in this forest?"
The Beruk were immediately excited to know the figure of Arya Kamandanu who was still like a child. The little monkeys also seemed happy to see the figure of Arya Kamandanu, they were of course the first stones to see a human.
Unlike the adult Beruk, they have seen humans on the outskirts of the forest several times. The humans they saw were residents of the Mahameru mountain slopes looking for firewood.
"Hi, what is your name?'
Suddenly a small Beruk was approaching Arya Kamandanu while looking at him inquiringly. Maybe he fellow children so that his feelings are not like the adult Beruk who feels suspicious and worried.
After all, the Beruk Race and the Human Race never got along, humans often killed them for fun and ate their flesh. Because of this, the Beruk leader needs to be aware of the presence of Arya Kamandanu.
Humans are indeed all eaters, they don't just eat chicken, beef, deer, and herbivorous animals, but humans also eat tiger meat, monkeys, snakes, and all the animals that exist on this earth.
Knowing that human greed is what makes the Beruk leader need to be vigilant about the presence of Arya Kamandanu.
"My name is Arya, what's your name?"
Arya asked back after introducing her name, one by one the little monkeys became acquainted with Arya and made the adults calmer seeing her familiarity with the little monkeys.
As if finding a new friend, Arya immediately forgot about her mother who was still trapped in the core cave of Mount Mahameru. He was engrossed in playing, jumping from one tree branch to another.
Without realizing it, by playing with these little monkeys, the muscles in their arms and legs become more trained after they join in hanging from tree branches while jumping.
Not realizing that the sun was already above the crown, Arya played with the cubs for hours and forgot about her mother who was still in the cave. He thought of his mother when he saw a little monkey cub that was being held by its mother while breastfeeding.
"Mother... I forgot my mother," thought Arya to herself.
Immediately he said goodbye to his Beruk friends, that he would pick up his mother first to be introduced to them.
Before the little monkeys could answer Arya's words, her figure had disappeared from their sight. Of course, the disappearance of Arya's figure makes the macaques wary, especially the adult monkeys.
With his innate ability, Arya can run very fast, jumping from one branch to another without the monkeys being able to catch his movements.
Arya also doesn't realize the advantages she has, for her running and jumping as fast as lightning is normal, nothing to be proud of.
In an instant, Arya had disappeared and was near the reeds that covered the cave opening.
His memory and identification power are extremely accurate, even though he is still small he has not forgotten the way or the place where his cave hole is located.
"Mother... I'm coming...!!"
There was a scream from the cave exit, then we saw Arya's funny face sliding down the cave hole and freefalling into the hot water below.
Byur...
The sound of water hitting Arya's body spurted out on Larasty, who had been standing in the same place thinking about her child.
He had no idea how to climb up to the top of the cavern that was in the ten-meter-high ceiling.
"Arya... where have you been? Don't make mom worry."
Larasty immediately walked towards Arya and hugged her while crying with emotion. After all, Arya is his biological child and the only family he has.
"Mom, I have a new friend."
"New friends?"
Larasty looked at her son's face, which looked very happy as seen from the funny expression on his face. Larasaty didn't understand at all how her child could have new friends, even though there were only the two of them in this forest.
Instantly a feeling of worry haunted Larasty's mind, she immediately hugged Arya's small body and held her chubby cheeks while looking into her sparkling eyes like a morning star.
"Where have you been? To speak the truth. How could there be anyone else in this place?"
Larasty did not believe what Arya said at all, she was not at all happy to hear news from her son. Feelings of anxiety immediately haunted his mind and a greater suspicion was in his mind.
"Yes ma'am, outside it turned out to be very beautiful and spacious. There I met a lot of friends and they were also nice to Arya."
Larasty immediately sighed heavily hearing her son's talk, when she looked at her son's face again, it was as if she could smell the mango smell from her son's mouth again.
"What are you eating out there?"
"I don't know Mom, I eat fruit that is sweet and tastes good. Arya ate ten mom, he he he he sorry I didn't bring it to you."
Arya smiled, feeling guilty when she found herself eating sweet-smelling mangoes that were so sweet and delicious, but she didn't love her mother.
Larasty was even more curious about the situation outside because she entered this forest at night and the surroundings were also very dark.
Then he thought of asking his son to take him out of this cave.
"Can you help mom get out of here?"
"You want to go out too and eat the fruit that Arya ate?" said Arya with a funny face.
According to him the reason his mother wanted him to take him out was because he was attracted by the mangoes he had been eating. Arya had no idea that Larasty had wanted to get out of the core cave of Mount Mahameru from the start.
Even if the newborn child had come out first, of course, he became helpless.
Seeing her mother nod her head, Arya immediately felt happy because she wanted to take her mother out and introduce her to her new friends and pick the sweet Fragrant Mangoes she had eaten earlier.
Arya then hugged her mother's body and with one kick, their bodies both slid towards the wellbore.
