A UNITY THAT CANNOT BE UNITED

MUMPS???

Several men wearing black hoodie jackets gathered in one of the former buildings. Some were sitting around talking, some were standing around observing the surrounding area and some were smoking and so on.

A short time later, a man wearing a hoodie jacket appeared. His face was masked with a silicone mask that revealed a grinning goblin face baring its fangs.

The horde of children in hoodie jackets stood up and gathered while the goblin was in the middle of the group.

"Darkest.." cried the goblin.

The hordes of children in hoodie jackets put on a firm stance. The goblin looked at them.

"I'll leave you some time" said the goblin.

"Where are you going?" ask one of the men in a hoodie jacket.

The goblin did not respond to the questioner's question. He just sighed. "I got a special assignment that you can't get involved with. I'll leave after this." said the goblin then raised his index finger. "But remember! Don't play with fire behind me. For a while, you were under the responsibility of Endi."

"Drawan Sulingo Ali?" one of the men in a hoodie jacket.

The goblin looked at the man in the hoodie jacket. "Why? Do you have any other thoughts?"

"Isn't he a retired former central market thug?" guess the hoodie jacket.

"Yes. Why why?" ask the goblin.

"We don't want to be ordered by him" said the man in the hoodie jacket.

"Is your voice representing them or is it just your personal aspirations?" todong the goblin.

The hoodie jacket was silent. The goblin met one of the Darkest members' entourage.

"Let's still here, tell me you want to." said the goblin.

They just kept whispering to each other. While the aspirant whistleblower looked at his friends. "We just want to be ruled by you. Not by anyone outside the herd."

The goblin nodded. "good. In that case, while Darkest is in your charge."

"Why me?" protest the Hoodie jacket.

"You're how?" reply the goblin, "I offer you an Endrawan, you don't want to. It's my turn to point at you, and you refuse? What do you want?" sergeant the goblin.

The herd just kept quiet. The goblin snorted. "I don't want to hear any more protests" said the goblin. "You are temporarily responsible for Darkest" said the Goblin, pointing back at the man who protested. "And remember! Never ever show your existence openly. I don't want Bubu and his herd to feel distracted by that."

"Isn't that good?" lure the adjutant. "We're going to extend our power all the way to the west."

"The tube will not simply give up its territory to others." - denied the goblin. "We're still just traversing the underworld. Don't draw too much attention."

"Are we not sponsored by Apocalyps?!" sue the aide.

The Goblin ambushed, "Unlocked! it is precisely because one of the Apocalyps is on our side, that we are forbidden to assert existence." he said, "We are in the area between there and nothing. We are gone but we exist. We exist but they cannot find us as if we did not. That is the philosophy of our group. That's why we're called Darkest people of darkness! Understand?!"

"I'll disappear for a while. You won't find me because I'm on another mission that the Apocalyps are carrying." said the Goblin.

"Why don't you take me or us?" protest the aide.

"I told you! I don't want to involve you! This is a mission that is not random!" the goblin toilet. "My absence will be temporarily replaced by Jensen. You all obey him. Understood?"

The Darkest members nodded. The goblin nodded.

"Good." replied the goblin. "I'll go first."

After saying so, the goblin masked man turned around to leave the herd. After the goblin, the man in the hoodie jacket smiled flatly. He looked back at his flock.

"You heard what Skullen said? Go back to each other's places. We'll get together if I call you." Jensen said. "Now, come back."

The herd dispersed. After their death, Jensen took the device from his pocket and began dialing the number, calling someone.

📲 "Here is Jensen." said the man in the hoodie jacket. "Now Darkest is in my power. Tell me what you want?"

📲 "Good.." Praise the voice of the man across. "Wait for my orders. I'll call you later."

The man ended his cellular conversation. Jansen put the device back in his pocket and stepped out of the place.

...******...

Ichi pacing around in the room. The statement of the mother who decided to put it on made Ichi uneasy. His mother is currently meeting with the head of the Alkhairaat boarding school to discuss how the lodging procedures at the institution.

Ichi contacted his father, hoping that he would help him avoid entering the pesantren.

📲 "No son." reject his father. "You should stay mumps.

Ichi biting lips. The reality is far from his expectations so far that the father will always be there to save him from the mother who is considered dictator.

📲 "But, Bi." kilah Ichi tried to defend himself, "What about the Taekwondo training that Nunu has been doing all this time? Can lose it if it will go to bed later, so can not join the training session." suluk the child.

📲 "Later Umi will have a direct discussion with Kyai about your training session. What is clear, however, is that you still have to go into a hyacinth." said the father gently but Ichi caught the firmness behind his tone.

📲 "Abi no longer love Nunu, right?" ichi rejoice again, "If Abi and Umi love Nunu, it is impossible to throw Ichi into the boarding school." said the girl with a hoarse voice made as if she was about to cry.

📲 "It is precisely because we love you, that's why you are lodged." replied the father. "With a hyacinth, you will learn independently and take care of all your own needs. You will learn to rely on yourself without the help of others. You have to believe that you can do anything alone."

Ichi was speechless by the argument his father presented. The girl could not come up with any excuse that could strengthen her petition not to go into bed.

📲 "Believe Abi, son." said the father. "One day you will be grateful for the benefits of the hyacinth itself. Abi's prayer is always with you."

That mobile conversation ended and Ichi could only bear his disappointment. Drowning, the girl sat down and folded her legs and buried her own face in her feet and shed tears there.[]
