Chapter 68 Is this True Love?

"Let's go down!" said Liu Bwee after noticing that very quickly the water had left the island, like a group of naughty children returning home being called by their mother.
They hopped off and headed to the beach where Ouw San Kok had parked his boat. He was overjoyed that before leaving the boat when the storm began to rage, he had tied the boat so tightly to the rocks that it was still there. However, Liu Bwee's boat disappeared without leaving a trace.
"Liu-toanio, let us depart."
"Uh, where?" Liu Bwee looked at him in astonishment and furrowed his brows. "To Ice Island."
"What...? What do you mean?" Liu Bwee almost screamed. "I don't want to! I don't want to come back just to receive humiliation."
"Liu-toanio, a woman like Toanio shouldn't live in misery like this. Han Ti Ong has been arbitrary and lost. Let me be the one to rebuke and remind him of his misguidance, Toanio. I don't want to see Toanio being treated unfairly, I'm not willing to see Toanio live a miserable life. Come on and don't worry, I as a man will certainly find it easier to wake up your husband who is infatuated with another woman. I am the one responsible, and I risk my life for that."
Liu Bwee looked on in shock and astonishment, stupefied and seemed enthralled so he just complied when asked to get on the boat by Ouw Sian Kok. After the boat launched, only then could he say, "Ouw-twako... why are you doing all this for me? Why are you helping me, defending me to the death? Why are you being so kind to me?"
While rowing the boat with agile and powerful movements so that the boat glides very fast on the surface of the sea which is now very calm, as calm as if the giant who had been raging violently was now exhausted and exhausted, Ouw Sian Kok replied without turning to Liu. Bwee, "You are so miserable, and so calm, reminding me of my beloved wife. You really need protection, you really need help. Who else if I don't help you, Toanio?"
Liu Bwee looked at the man from the side, his eyes were no longer wet and a few tears were rolling down his cheeks. For a moment he was unable to answer. In fact, he no longer has anyone in this world, only Swat Hong, who he doesn't know where he is now. There was no one to accompany him, let alone defend him. So the appearance of this gallant man who showed his attitude to defend him tooth and nail caused an attitude of emotion in his heart. What's more hearing how that man when he saw him remembering his beloved wife who had passed away, his heart became very moved and he could not bear to refuse again.
Besides that, there was also a sense of embarrassment and shame in this woman's heart because she seemed to have a whisper in her heart that this man who helped her had a heart for her and was willing to defend her at the risk of her life! This did not make her feel as proud and excited as she might have if she were a young girl, but instead brought such embarrassment and embarrassment that the voyage continued silently for Liu Bwee found it very difficult to open her mouth.
Several hours passed in silence. Finally, Ouw Sian Kok, who couldn't stand it, said, "Toanio, I apologize profusely if all my words have offended you."
Liu Bwee bit his lip. This valiant and virtuous man, he must admit, has a manly and humble nature. "There's nothing to apologize for," he said softly.
"Toanio mad at me?" a moment later Ouw Sian Kok asked again, this time he couldn't

holding back his heart's desire to not look and stare at the woman's face. It just so happened that at that moment Liu Bwee was also looking at him. For a second the two pairs of eyes met.
However, Liu Bwee immediately averted his eyes and answered with a shake of his head.
This answer is enough for Ouw Sian Kok. With a beaming face and a happy voice he said, "I'm glad that you're not mad at me, Toanio."
The boat is rowed hard so that it glides very fast towards its destination, namely Ice Island. Even though he has never been to the island, he already knows where it is because he often looks at the island from afar during his voyages. Great joy such as he had never experienced in these fifteen years filled his heart. If only Liu Bwee wasn't there, if only he didn't feel embarrassed, surely he would have sang happily as an overflow of joy.
Two days and two nights they go on a cruise, if they are hungry they eat grilled fish on the boat and drink ice water floating on the surface of the sea. Finally they arrived at Ice Island and from afar you could already see the difference in the island which greatly surprised Liu Bwee.
"Why is it so quiet? Why is it so clean and slippery? Ouw-twako, hurry ashore, I think something has happened there," Liu Bwee said with a pounding heart, not only seeing the island where he was raised since childhood, but her heart also tensed at the thought of her meeting with her husband and with his husband's concubine.
After the boat stuck to the island, Liu Bwee jumped ashore. His heart was pounding tensely, but now with worry. Ice Island changed incredibly. Why is there no one in sight? Not long after, he ran followed by Ouw Sian Kok who had tied his boat. This man was also amazed, why does the island which is very famous in Hell Island as a kingdom look like this desolate?
When he approached a hill and came into view of the Ice Island Palace, Liu Bwee let out a stifled cry and his face turned very pale. “What... what happened...? And their buildings... why did they disappear? Only the palace is empty and broken... ahhh”
Staggering Liu Bwee ran towards the palace, but was followed by Ouw Sian Kok who was very worried. Like a drunk, Liu Bwee shouted for people and ran into the empty palace, followed by Ouw Sian Kok who was also amazed. However, this man immediately guessed what had happened.
"Where...? Where have they all gone...?" Liu Bwee stood in the middle of the palace room that was once so magnificent and now empty and quiet.
Seeing that pale face with wildly wide eyes, Ouw Sian Kok quickly jumped up and grabbed Liu Bwee's arm, he pulled him out of the palace. After arriving outside the palace, Ouw Sian Kok said, his voice firm and full of compassion, "Liu-toanio, take heart. Remember what we experienced on that empty island. The storm was unbelievably great, I've never experienced a storm as violent as this in my life. This Island of Ice isn't that far away, and given the intensity of the storm, there's no mistaking that this island was also hit by a storm."
Liu Bwee's movements were lightning fast as he turned to face the man, his eyes wide. "Ahhh...! You're right...! That storm! The Ice Island was ravaged by the storm and swept away by the storm. My God...!" Liu Bwee clasped his face in his hands, dropped to his knees on the ice and sobbed uncontrollably.
"I'm very worried, Toanio, that not only things will be wiped off the surface of this island, but also the inhabitants. If any of the inhabitants survive, it is impossible for them to leave the island. Who can withstand such a fierce storm?"
"You're right... ah... my husband... aihhh, all my brothers on Ice Island, is it true that you all died? Is this true? Or is it just a dream...?" like a person who has lost his memory Liu Bwee approached the palace, feeling around the palace walls and whispering.

Seeing this, Sian Kok felt very sorry. However, because he was aware of the broken heart of the former consort of the King of Ice Island, he only looked at her and kept her quiet.
"Ohhh... they all died? All died...? Who would believe... my husband is so brave, so knowledgeable, there's no way he could have been killed by a storm" Liu Bwee whispered and groped around the walls as if
he wanted to ask and find out about the stone wall.
Suddenly his finger touched the letters engraved on it. Her eyes widened as she stared at him and her lips moved to read the writing she knew well, her husband's writing which was made by carving the stone with his finger!
'Sin Liong and Swat Hong, I'm sorry. Thian has punished me and eradicated Ice Island. Go look for that evil woman, take back all the heirlooms. And Bu Ong is not my son, he is a descendant of Kai-ong.'
"Ohhh...!!" Liu Bwee closed his eyes, as if he had been beaten on the head and his eyes were dimmed. He quickly pressed his hands against the wall so he wouldn't collapse, not knowing that Sian Kok had already jumped to him and was ready to help him.
This man read the inscriptions on the wall and shook his head. He was amazed that the Ice Island King was really great. In the last moment fighting the storm still managed to write the letters that way!
"It's clear that the storm has wiped out everything on this island, Toanio," he said carefully.
Liu Bwee came to his senses. Opened her eyes and coincidentally her hand felt the grip marks of her husband's fingers on the stone wall. Seeing that, he couldn't help but sob. He could also imagine what had happened.
"Oh my husband... how great you suffer," she whispered between sobs.
Sian Kok looked at the finger grip marks and he could imagine Han Ti Ong trying to keep himself from being dragged by the water by gripping the stone wall. But the mighty force of the storm finally prevailed, and of course the King was dragged away and swallowed up by the stormy waves, vanishing in the bowels of the ocean.
Liu Bwee dropped to his knees crying. Again his hand felt the letters below. It seems that the letters were made by people kneeling too and on the wall below there are also traces of fingers gripping them. After wiping her eyes so that her eyes would not be covered with tears, she read again, 'Bwee-moi, I have sinned against you too much, so Thian punished me. Goodbye.'
After reading this Liu Bwee let out a scream, then fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Luckily Sian Kok quickly grabbed him so his head didn't hit the stone wall. Sian Kok quickly lifted the woman's body and his eyes swept over the writing below it. He sighed and carried the fainted body into the palace and put it into a room. Upon examining her, he discovered that this lady had received such a severe mental blow that she was in a very serious condition.
Sian Kok hastily left Liu Bwee, ran to his boat and quickly rowed his boat to an island and picked some familiar medicinal leaves. Soon he was back on Ice Island, cooking medicine and forcing it into Liu Bwee's mouth. Then he assisted the mistress with her sinking so that all night she sat cross-legged by Liu Bwee, exerting herself to keep the fainted mistress's body warm.
The next day Liu Bwee complained and realized that it made Sian Kok happy, who forgot that he was exhausted and his face was very pale. After realizing and remembering again, Liu Bwee sobbed sobbing, left by Sian Kok who considered crying as a panacea. After the sobs had subsided, Liu Bwee remembered that he was suddenly in that empty palace room. It was known to him that he fainted and was brought here by Sian Kok. He

looked up, stopped crying and looked. He saw how pale his face was and how tired he looked, so being an expert, he could surmise why.
"How long will I be unconscious here, Toako?"
"Hmm, last night you fainted, making my heart uneasy."
"And all this time you've been looking after me, mobilizing sinks to help me, right?"
"Hmmm..., there's no need to talk about that. The important thing is, you have regained consciousness and hope you like to take care of your own health, don't get too attached to feelings of grief. Toanio, in the message your husband is called Sin Liong, who is he?"
"Sin Liong is my husband's student, a very good young man," Liu Bwee said as he wiped away the remaining tears.
"Then, relieve your heart, Toanio. Even though it is very possible that your husband, like all the inhabitants of the Ice Island, was wiped out by the storm, but I think your daughter is safe and recently came to this empty island too."
Liu Bwee looked on with wide eyes. "How do you know?"
"I saw their footprints still clear in the frozen part of the ice up there, the footprints of a woman and a man. And I found these too." Ouw Sian Kok took out a green handkerchief and gave it to Liu Bwee.
Liu Bwee grabbed the handkerchief and again his dry eyes welled up with tears. She clutched the handkerchief and said, "That's right, this is my son's hair tie kerchief! Where are those footprints, Toako? Want me to see them!"
They then left the palace towards the top. Sure enough, the footprints of two people, small and large, were clear, indicating that just now, perhaps yesterday at most, two people had come to the island. A man and a woman. Who else if not Swat Hong and Sin Liong?
"There's no mistake, of course my daughter and Sin Liong. But where are they now? I have to meet my daughter, Ouw-twako."
Ouw Sian Kok furrowed his thick eyebrows. "They are shrewd young people and of course they have also seen the inscriptions carved on the wall of your husband's message. And of course they are trying to find a woman named The Kwat Lin."
"Then I'll catch up with them, Toako. Of course they'll give chase to the mainland."
Ouw Sian Kok nodded. "I don't think your guess is wrong. However, Toanio, has Toanio ever been to the mainland to the west?"
Liu Bwee shook his head without answering, his brows furrowed as he too felt confused and worried. Where should he look for his daughter? Even so, according to the narrative he heard on Ice Island, the mainland was vast, as wide as an ocean that had no edge.
Seeing the woman's face, Ouw Sian Kok felt even more sorry and in a voice full of enthusiasm he said, "Toanio, don't worry. During my voyage, once I landed on the mainland and let me accompany you to look for your daughter Han Swat Hong, as well as being a guide." ."
Liu Bwee's face lit up. She looked at the boy full of hope and gratitude, but her mouth said, "Ahhh, I'm always just giving Twako trouble"
"Don't say that, Toanio. I live alone, but I am a man. Meanwhile, you are a young woman, how can you live alone? What else do you want to look for your daughter on the mainland, where can I hug? I've already

I feel quite happy if Toanio agrees to accompany me."
"Of course I am very happy and thank you very much for your abundant kindness, Toako. I hope that in the future only Thian can repay you because what power do I have to repay your kindness?" He was deeply moved. Formerly Liu Bwee was a cheerful and witty woman, but mental suffering made her sensitive and gentle and weak.
Ouw Sian Kok didn't answer, only answered in his heart, "That look in your eyes is already double revenge for me."
The two of them left Ice Island. The voyage is very difficult and difficult. Even though the former consort of the King of Ice Island, Liu Bwee, had his fill of playing with boats as a child, he didn't suffer too much. Even he can help so that the trip by boat across the vast ocean runs smoothly.
