Ever since my parents had cancer, the world seemed to fall apart for me. Moreover, my current position is not near them, so I can't be there to take care of them. However, timing is everything to them and me.
Now, I am continuing my studies, majoring in pharmacy with a scientific concentration on traditional medicines. After a lot of reading research journals, I finally found one of the traditional medicines that are likely to prevent and reduce the effects of cancer. Long story short, I finally recruited several people as a team to go on a journey to find these traditional medicines.
The team consists of five people, two people, me and my friend as experts in traditional medicine, one person as a geographer, one person as an interpreter, and another person as a Ranger (we need people who can guide us when going up the mountain).
This trip takes quite a long time to arrive at the location. My team and I had to take two planes before arriving at the destination city and then on foot to go through the wilderness and up the mountain. However, the exact location of the existence of this plant is a secret because, based on the journal records I read, on average, they do not include the exact location of this medicinal plant. Only a few hints and GPS points are listed.
Long story short, we finally arrived at the destination city. We rested for one day in the city and prepared supplies to set out in search of this medicinal plant immediately. Previously we also had time to interact with residents to find out about the location of this plant. And they just replied, "Good luck" I don't know what that means, but this didn't stop me from finding a cure for my parents.
Today, August 2, 2022, is 4 am local time, with sunny weather. Again, we carry out expeditions with complete supplies and a solid team. Finally, we explored the wilderness.
The time showed 7 am local time. The weather was starting to fog up, and cold air slowly entered through the gaps in the thick jackets we wore. Visibility was only about 1 meter, and we used flashlights as lighting to continue our journey.
The more time passed, the more fog enveloped our journey. Finally, Ranger said, "We better connect our wrists with a rope so that no one gets lost." Finally, the Ranger took out a piece of rope and tied it around our wrists to connect.
And finally, the rain fell, the wind blew hard, and visibility was still blurry, but we continued our journey. Finally, one of our team slipped and fell into a ravine until we all slipped and fell unconscious for a few days.
"Hey, wake up. We were lucky to have been saved by the old man," one of the people shouted at me. His scream made me realize that we had spent a few days since the incident. And it turns out we have been in a house, in the middle of the forest.
Night fell, and the grandfather asked about our purpose in coming to this forest. I also explained the reasons. Finally, the grandfather said, "In this forest, there is a plant called sacred tea. This plant is red like roses. But only people with clean hearts can go there. Because, on the way, you will meet various kinds of temptations so that will forget you with your goal."
The bonfire lit with enthusiasm began to lose its light, along with the drowsiness that began to come, until finally, we all fell asleep.
In the morning, 7th Agustus. The weather was still cloudy and shrouded in light fog. Before we left, the grandfather ordered us to follow the path overgrown with daisies.
"From here, you will continue your journey because our job is only to take you to a road covered with white daisies, then you have to follow the red daisies." My friends said.
Then I asked them, "Why do you know it?"
They replied, "This is Grandpa's advice because only people with a clear goal can get to the sacred tea. If we violate it, we may be tempted and even make it difficult for you."
"Okay," Finally, I continued my journey by following the red daisies. After going far enough into the forest, I saw a shimmering light from a distance. I got closer to the light and found a cave filled with diamonds.
I finally understood what temptation is. It is wealth. I can be rich just by carrying this, but can I exchange it for my parent's health? My heart is in turmoil, and I want to take these diamonds, then sell them for treatment but will my parents recover? So I closed my eyes and continued my journey to find sacred tea.
Finally, the road filled with red daisies had run out. At the end of the road, I saw the waterfall and the plant around it. The plant is red like ruby and has petals like a rose.
And when I got there, when I wanted to pick, the grandfather came right behind me and said, "Finally, you can arrive here, take some of these flowers, brew them with hot water, and drink them to your parents." And suddenly, my legs went limp, my vision blurred, and I finally fell unconscious for the second time.
"Hey, wake up," a friend shouted at me. Yes, I finally woke up and again in a different place. We're already downtown. I woke up confused and full of questions, but one thing was for sure: there was the flower I was looking for in my hand.
Then, I immediately ordered a ticket to go home. Arriving in my hometown, I immediately made sacred tea for my parents. And the result was that the cancer cells started to die, and my parents' health improved.
