A Friend from Malaysia

Pirate

*Flashback on*

1981 Years

"Well, this ship is really fancy. What do you think, Yahya?" salim asked the friend next to him.

"That's very fine, Salim. Kite is lucky to be able to get a job here," said the man named Yahya.

Both are still amazed to see the cruise ship that just docked at the port. On the body of the large ship was listed the name "Yolanda" accompanied by a picture of purple violet flowers as a sweetener.

"Yeah! You clean the deck off the top floor first!" call their superiors and order Yahya to clean the ship.

Yes, Yahya and Salim are both ABK non-officer ships working in a German-owned yacht company. Yahya is Malaysian while Salim is Indonesian. They know each other because they work for this company.

Working as an ABK ship is not always as beautiful as in the minds of people. They are both just rude workers. Yahya was a janitor, while Salim was only a servant. Whether due to fate or what both coincidentally always assigned in the same ship. And this time they will return to sail with the beautiful ship "Yolanda" and magnificent.

"Yeah! You clean all these places swept, mop until shiny and do not forget to return all the cleaning tools later to the janitor room," the superior orders it again.

Yahya nodded and went back to doing all his tasks quickly.

After doing his job, the man also brought all the cleaning tools he used to be returned to the janitor room in accordance with what was ordered.

In the hallway he runs into someone bule. I don't know why there was a speck of suspicion in his heart. Janitor room is a room where cleanliness tools and dirty tools are stored. And the bule man did not seem to be from the lower classes who would enter such a place.

Is he ABK officer on this ship? Or a non-officer ABK whose position is higher than him? Yahya asked in his heart. But he wanted to ask it would also be of no use. I can only speak a little English. He was afraid that if he asked what the man was doing there would be a big problem that ended his dismissal if he asked a big man who should not be offended. So finally Yahya decided to ignore his feelings of curiosity.

Until finally the anticipated day arrived, Yolanda, the big ship is now sailing from the Port of Hamburg to Cambodia. The luxury yacht looks so gracefully traversed the Elbe river, leaving the city of Hamburg, Germany.

Although only a rough worker on this ship, but the greatest pleasure of being an ABK that can travel the world is very Yahya grateful. Being able to travel the world, and gain new experiences and knowledge, even if being away from family makes him grateful for what he has. So even now he can enjoy the scenery in the middle of the sea with the sun sinking far in the western horizon there.

It seemed that the ship had sailed for more than 10 hours since leaving Hamburg at 16:00 this afternoon, Yahya who was sleeping in a special room ABK heard a noise from outside. It was not only him who woke up but his roommate as well. Yahya came out to see what really happened.

And to Yahya's astonishment when he came out of the room, he met some masked men carrying firearms and tied his hands and friends and led them to the hall of the ship. There have also been many who gathered in the same condition tied his hands to the back.

Not long enough for him to understand this condition, if this Yolanda ship had been hijacked by a group of gunmen. It's not strange that they made Yolanda a target. This ship contains passengers from the class of snapper whose wealth is no doubt.

That precarious situation lasted for quite a while without them being able to do anything about it. So in the not too long time the hijackers have managed to collect a lot of spoils from the passengers of the ship.

"Hey, du! Kannst du die truhe zum nachsten schiff bewegen?"

"A-I don't know what you said. Bi-can be interpreted in Malay language only?" tanya Yahya.

Another one of them suddenly laughed at Yahya.

"He told you and some of your friends to lift the box! Can you?"

Yahya gaped at the male voice from behind the mask. If he's not wrong, the man's accent shows that he is a person who is allied with him. Maybe Indonesia?

"Sa-saye can lift. But I have to help my friend saye" Yahya said again.

"All right, you're taking your friend one!" order that man again.

Yahya looked around and his roommates seemed to turn their faces away hoping that Yahya would not point at them. But not so with Salim who looks a little code if he is willing to help him.

"If it's like that, I can ask him to help me" Yahya asked.

"All right! You guys hurry up, pick up the crate!"

Then after Salim's hand bond was removed, the two were ordered to start lifting the chest. I don't know what the contents are, but Yahya felt the chest was quite heavy.

Until finally the chest was lowered to a small ship owned by the hijackers, Yahya again-fasculated because they were no longer allowed to climb back to the ship Yolanda.

"You come with us or you can choose to die!" the man's ultimatum again.

Yahya and Salim could do nothing. They ended up going with the hijacker's ship. Until they arrive at the dark dock of the next town, they move back to the ship to remove the tracks. And it went on for a few times.

Until the third day they sailed with the hijackers, somehow the story turned out among them a plot of some were not satisfied with the distribution of the spoils or how, Yahya did not know but that night in the middle of the vast ocean there was a tragedy of mutual attacks that not only shed blood but lost their lives with each other. Until the remaining of them only three people, among whom are Indonesians who have chosen them to participate in the pirate ship.

"Was sollen wir with ihnen machen?" asked the Indonesian man to the German man while pointing at Salim and Yahya who were still bound by his hands in the corner of the room.

Yahya doesn't understand what it means. But Salim and Yahya could understand when they heard the man's answer in English. They gasp at hearing it.

"Kill both of them. And expose of the other corps! (Kill them both and dispose of them with the other bodies) Hahahaha ...."
