In another part of the earth,

there lived a man named Azha,

he is a shepherd,

living alone,

every day he tended his goats,

from morning to late evening.

Near the river Eridanus,

Azha is busy taking care of her many goats,

while playing water beside the river,

Azha is enjoying her little life,

"Thank God for all His blessings"

Azha said silently.

The sound of water ripples accompanying his fun playing,

thirsty goats,

join in the fun,

Mbek ... Mbek ... Mbek

while drinking the fresh river water.

Accompanied by Delphinus who is a freshwater dolphin,

so smart,

wonderful,

and obedient to humans,

very pleasant interactions,

can play together with cute and smart animals,

"The funny thing is you are Delphinus"

praise Azha in heart.

Removing the loneliness that haunts,

make Azha forget all her sorrows,

make him always grateful to the Almighty,

for the various gifts that have been given to him.

✳️✳️✳️

The sun is already in the west,

in a few hours he will drown,

Azha starts tidying up

from tending his goats by the river Eridanus,

he will come home then.

(Looking at the sun) "Waaah !, the sun is going to go down"

said Azha,

"I have to clean up soon"

he continued.

It wasn't long before when he had finished tidying up,

and start moving home,

suddenly a ship came over to Azha.

Shuttt

(the sound of the ship's sails from a distance).

"Drop anchor!" (screaming),

commanded the captain which was heard by Azha.

"Good captain",

answered some of the crew,

again sounded in Azha's ears.

Because the Eridanus River is a very large river and also makes a ship that big can dock and lean there.

Then...

Krekkkk, Krekkkk, Krekkkk,

The boat door opened and the tip touched the bank of the Eridanus river, making the ground tremble slightly.

Not long after that, the captain and some of his crew members came down from the ship, came over to Azha, while he was standing still looking at this truly extraordinary ship.

"Who is he?,

why will he come to me ?,

and I don't know him myself

Azha asked herself.

After being right in front of Azha.

The captain spoke,

"Regards,

you don't need to be afraid,

I'm just a traveler ".

he then asked,

"O young man,

what's your name? "(smiles slightly).

"Greetings back, my name is Azha,

and who are you? ",

answered by Azha who was surprised to see the man smiling.

"Your name is Azha yes, introduce my name is Jason,

and these are the Argonauts,

some of my crew "

while holding out his hand.

"From his appearance and clothes like a captain, he seems like a good person"

Azha muttered to herself.

"Nice to meet you",

(they both shake hands).

"Me too,

Nice to meet you".

Azha replied, still feeling surprised.

"Alright Azha, may I ask you something?"

asked Jason.

"Now he even wants to ask me something, what does he want to ask of me?"

he said to himself.

"Yes, of course you can"

Azha replied.

"Then if you allow it

I want to offer myself to be your friend, can I be your friend? ",

asked Jason.

"It turns out that this is what he wanted to ask of me, it looks like he's a good person,

but I'm still curious why he wants to be my friend ?, I'll just accept him being my friend ".

Azha mutters back.

"Sure it is allowed,

I'm here living alone

and I really hope there is someone who wants to be my friend ",

Azha explained answering.

"Thank you, thank goodness, I'm glad to hear that, thank you very much for accepting me to be your friend".

Azha turns to ask, still feeling amazed.

"Oh, yes,

if I could know where you come from and who you really are, Jason? ",

"Oh sure, I will explain where I'm from and who I really am, introduce my full name Jason Navis, I come from the Kingdom of Nesia,

I am a captain there,

me and the Argonauts choose to explore the oceans,

to save myself,

because our King, King Orionus, was killed by his own brother Medeusa,

he, Medeusa, was hit by evil magic at that time,

and with his magic he took the throne of the kingdom from his own brother's hands, all who are hit by his magic will surely die and turn to stone,

we are unable to fight it, therefore we save ourselves,

and luckily we survived, we felt really guilty that we could not save King Orionus at that time, all the sorcerers who were in the kingdom,

they were all defeated by Medeusa, they all turned to stone because of it, we saved ourselves,

this is because the King ordered us, if something happens to him or the kingdom, then we have to live for him, we are not allowed to help him if anything happens to him if there is a problem or a civil war, he said

"I will not allow you to help me if the kingdom is in trouble or a civil war, and if you still insist on helping me then the way is that you have to live for me, why? So that the name of the Kingdom of Nesia can still be heard all over the world thanks to you all", he said. ".

Jason explained quite a long way.

"I see,

your origin seems so far away, I've never heard the name of the kingdom before and I'm sorry to hear your story, O Jason.

Azha began to feel sure that the captain was a good person.

"Correct my guess he was a good person" mumbled back.

"Well, thank you for your condolences",

answered Jason.

"Yes, you are welcome ".

"Actually I don't want to remember this, it's really sad for me, but it's okay, let it be, it's all over".

"I'm sorry I made you think back"

"It's okay Azha, it doesn't matter to me, I'm just sorry that I wasn't allowed to save my own king"

"Keep up the spirit Jason, actually you carry a bigger mandate than saving your king, which is to save the dignity of his kingdom".

"You're right Azha, thank you".

✳️✳️✳️

This is what I wanted, Azha said to herself, let me just tell Jason, the captain.

"O Jason !,

may I later come with you in wandering the oceans (expressing his wish)? ".

Without thinking, Jason immediately answered,

"Oh, of course you can Azha,

with pleasure, you make me happy today "

"Yeah thanks, thank goodness, really lucky myself, but I have one more request to you",

Azha continues.

"Oh what is it ?,

you name it! ".

Jason was curious.

"I am a goat herder, I have a lot of sheep, so can I take my goats on your ship when we roam ?,

and also my dolphin ?,

he is truly magical,

I can't bear to leave them all "

Azha asked.

Wow, that's what he wanted to ask, just make me curious, said Jason to himself.

"Of course Azha,

with pleasure,

I allow you to exist (a little laugh) ".

Yeah I'm very happy today Azha said to herself to meet new people and want to be my friends again.

"Thank you for your generosity,

oh Jason,

I owe you a debt of gratitude "

"Just ordinary, don't overdo it.

"Hmm, may I ask about your dolphin, I'm curious"

continued Jason, who was surprised by Azha's words that the dolphin was magical.

"Of course you can",

"I didn't see where he was?"

"Wait a minute !".

"Khwit..khwit..khwit"

Azha called her beloved dolphin with a distinctive voice,

immediately the dolphin appeared,

he appeared on the riverbank,

being quite far from the berth of Jason's Argo Navis ship.

"There he is (points to Azha)

let's go over there! ".

"Come on!",

replied Jason and the Argonauts.

Then Azha, Jason, and the Argonauts walked over to Azha's dolphin.

"Introduce everyone,

he is my dolphin,

his name is Delphinus,

he is very smart and obedient,

easy to interact with humans,

and he really is so miraculous ".

"Delphinus is unique, isn't it?

he can obey human orders "

praised Jason.

"Will he be able to follow us later while wandering the seas?"

he asked continuing.

"I think so, we'll just try later,

he is a dolphin who is smart and also magic ",

"Okay,

may we spend the night here for the night? "

Jason asked permission.

"Tomorrow we will start our wanderings",

continued Jason.

"With pleasure,

but my house is quite far from this river,

How?"

"It does not matter",

answered Jason.

"Okay, okay,

wait a minute, please".

Khwit .. khwit .. khwit

Azha told Delphinus to return to play in the river Eridanus,

"Come on everyone!"

invite Azha.

"We must hurry,

because it was getting late, "he continued.

They hurried back to Azha's house,

to spend the night that day.

The Argonauts carry a torch as a light on the path to Azha's house.

They also gave it to Azha and Captain Jason.

"This is sir"

said Argonauts giving the torch to Azha.

"Thank you very much"

with a smile.

"This captain is for you"

the Argonauts continued.

Azha came home, herding her goats.

"Want me to help?"

said Jason.

"Don't bother later,

there are only a few of my dogs "

"Ahh, it's okay to give the rope here and learn (smile)".

"Alright".

They then walked together towards Azha's house while herding the goat.
