a man last standing on a path under the rain waiting for the next adventure of his life, he doesn't wear any shoes or any clothes, he wear a clothes which made from a leaf and only covering his leg on a vital item, with a bare chest holding a spear on his right hand. in front of him there's a rain forest which he never enter before.
There's a fear inside of his heart and also doubt which he never feel before, but he didn't have a choice.
These way it should be a better way as a love that he got for his wife, two days ago his wife is falling down from the cliff and the physician in his village couldn't cure her. The physician said that to cure his wife there's a way which is looking a leaf named "toranggul' inside the forbidden forest. The physician also said there's two opportunity for him if he enter the forbidden area, first is he can cure his wife and become an outsider and couldn't life together with his wife or his friend inside of his ethnic and must life outside the ethnic, the second is he couldn't success to get the medical leaf because too many danger inside the forbidden forest.
That night the rain fall very heavily, and he was alone on the outside of the village, no body companies him because this is a heavy duty for someone to do something because of love or humanity. crossing the culture with a high risk become an outsider. but he must continue the journey because he only given two days to get the medical leaf or his wife will be die.
in his own believe his very sure that something which doing because of love will never failed because there's a connection between the soul to keep and protect the other soul as a true love. that believe which dump all the doubt and finally he is entering the forbidden forest.
On the first day, he was walking through the forbidden forest without stopped, in daylight or night fall he still looking to his left and right to identify the leaf which he never seen it also before, only with a capital of courage and conviction. but the time is not in his side, entering the two days he still couldn't find a leaf for a medical to his wife. He was never give up, he still continue the step and arrived in a village which he never seen before, everything so strange to him, everybody in that village is wearing a cotton [ as we are now ; modern people ]. He also amaze to bike, which everyone rode it. While he was amaze with all his vision, also his healthy is dropping down because he didn't eat at all for two days, he was fainting that time in the middle of the village road, and founded by a villager then took him to his house.
After he was awake he shocked and try to ran, but his body couldn't handle it and also the villager is convince him that he wouldn't harm him only to help. Then after that he got a food and eat it even the food is also a strange thing to him and try to communicate to the villager and mention the mission.
he told the villager that he's looking for a leaf to cure his wife and mention the description and not a long time the villager is left him. It only took 10 minutes the villager is already come back and give the leaf he mentioned.
It was a shocking thing for him because after two days he was walked inside the forest and he couldn't find it, but in fact that leaf is growing at the villager back yard. So he was very grateful to the villager and decide to go back to his village and cure his wife. He was running very fast time, a cliff or a river is not a resistance to him. the only thing in his mind is get back to his wife very soon.
Less than one day he could back to his village, but he's very shocked when he was entering the village he was held by the guardian on the gate to entering that village. He try to explain all but the guardian still keeping him not to enter the area, then after waited for a minutes the physician is come and ask whether he got the medical leaf or not. and he said yes and gave the leaf to the physician.
Because he couldn't enter the village he only waiting outside the gates and curious what's happen to his wife. Then he is planned to sneak out and entering the village from the other side, he was made it and meet his wife. He is very happy because his wife is cure and able to walk again and normal as before so he want to talk to her, but it only a dream when his wife is yell and didn't accept he again because he already become an outsider, he is trying to convince that the cure of her is made it because of him, but the wife is didn't care and calling the guardian and the others to dispossess him from the village.
He was cried outside the gates and watching his wife and his child is didn't recognize him anymore, for a week he was outside the gates and only seen his wife activity without doing nothing, then one day the physician is came to him and said that this is the consequences. "if you would fight for a love then one day you'll be lost that love because something that you never get it at all".
He didn't have a choice after more than a week he was suffer because of love he's decide to go back to the village where he found the leaf, and he made it and met the villager who helped him before and told the condition to the villager. The villager is smile and give a suggest to him to stay at that village.
In two years, he often back to see his wife inside the forest but from the outside until he found out she is married with the other now, so he decide not to visit her again even only to saw from the distance, and that time he was married also to the villager sister and become a family, live until now at the "hotel called sincerity as my self".
