Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Flashback 7: Pirates Bring Princes

Flocked groups of Stone Crab Pirates threw themselves into the river that morning, counting the baths. They dive to the bottom to look for the Black Ball.

As sea people, everyone is good at swimming and diving. Although the current in the middle of the river was rather swift, it was not a problem for them.

The prince, Sugang Laksama, and his best friend named Jura Paksa also joined me in the water.

After a long while of searching, they reaped nothing but wetness and gasping breath.

“Find more downstream, the navel must be carried by the current!” yell Cucum Mili.

Then everyone swam further downstream and then dived at various points. They remain the spirit of four five, meaning four plus five equals nine, the largest single number in an integer.

However, until the sun reaches its peak, they do not get results, other than the fish they carelessly catch.

“Lack of courtesy!” the Maki Cucum Mili.

“Lack of courtesy!” maki's all the Stone Crab Pirates anyway, who were either addressed to whom.

“We must have been bullied by that problem-fishing woman!” cucum Mili.

“Already,” said Sugang Laksama slowly, finally giving up. “True also said by Spirit Anglers, should not we force ourselves to master the heirloom, we already have the heirloom of each. If indeed we want sakti mandraguna, we must gain more knowledge.”

“I want to stop hunting that heirloom, but you have to marry me instead!” cucum Mili.

“What can I do. I refuse you'll keep hunting me. From my name tainted by your slander,” said Sugang Laksama.

“I don't care if you're forced to marry me, as long as I get a prince. But remember, you must not escape, or you will fate like a Throneless King, that is, poisoned to death!” cucum Mili Ancam.

“Iya yes!” said Sugang Laksama while embracing the shoulder Cucum Mili invited him to swim to the edge.

“Eh, what the fuck are you embracing me?!” hardik Cucum Mili while holding Sugang Laksama's hand.

“Last night you asked to sleep together, now, hugged just a little angry!” sugang Laksama.

“If last night, because no one else. But here, there are many of my men. Later they think the chairman of the craft eyes!” the Cucum Mili.

“Mata keranjaaang, Chairman! Hahaha ..!” sahut the pirates crowded his chairman, then laughed cheering.

“Huh!” Cucum Mutih only snorted hearing the behavior of his men.

“Did you guys find it?” ask a woman to take a picture of the river. It was Wiwi Kunai who came with Alma Fatara.

Alma Fatara is already wearing a new bright red shirt, following the tastes of Wiwi Kunai who likes bright colors.

“Spirit Fishing!” exclaim Cucum Mili whose emotions so ignited back with the arrival of the two women different age.

“Why else, Cucum?” ask Wiwi Kunai.

“You must have lied to us. You must have never thrown a Black Ball into this river!” cucum Mili.

“Basic women cucut!” maki Wiwi Kunai's.

“Hahaha ..!” the laughter of Alma Fatara was as wide as the fathers because they heard the name of the Cucut women. He thought only himself to be the place of “Anak Cucut”, it turns out Wiwi Kunai also called the pirate leader with a cone.

“Lack of courtesy!” maki Cucum Mili is angry at being laughed at by Alma.

“Lack of courtesy!” maki the pirates followed the leader.

“Hahahak ..!” Alma was loud and long laughing alone. “Auntie, we better go home, than I can't stop laughing. Hahaha!”

Wiwi Kunai then picked up a stone and threw it in the middle of the river.

Plung!

“That's how I threw the heirloom into the middle of the river. You can imagine for yourself what it will look like. But I threw it from where I was fishing, not from here,” said Wiwi Kunai.

Without a word of farewell, Wiwi Kunai stepped away. While Alma immediately followed while laughing softly. He brought a fishing hook.

“Come search again! Who finds it I'll give you a bag of money!” yell Cucum Mili.

They returned to race diving and looking further downstream.

Because the search this time beriming reward, Cucum Mili chose not to come looking. He actually dated Sugang Laksama on the riverbank with the conditions that are soaked. The curves of Cucum Mili's body are even printed clearly.

The couple began to get more familiar and flexible in communicating. Sometimes joking laughter graced their togetherness.

Meanwhile, Jura Forced just blew his breath seeing his best friend already entangled by the Queen Crab's love net.

“Bakal big problem if Gusti Prabu knows,” said Jura Forksa shriveled to himself.

Fortunately, no loss can be called. Search results in the middle of the river really bear fruit.

Finally, Cucum Mili decided to return to the ship that was far away at Parasemiris Beach. The Swordsman Dedemit was obliged to go to sea, because seven days later he had to marry Cucum Mili in the middle of the ocean.

Jura Forced did not come, he chose to return to the Palace, because he was the son of the King's Counsel.

Earlier on the way back to the beach, Sugang Laksama sent a secret message to Jura Paksa.

“You go home. Tell my father that I was kidnapped by the Stone Crab Pirates. This is to derail my marriage!” the Sugang Laksama.

“Good,” said Jura Forced obediently.

Although they are friendly, but for status, Sugang Laksama is the Lord of Forced Jurassic.

In the days leading up to the wedding, the Stone Crab Pirates continued to feast in the middle of the ocean. They even hired a team of entertainers from the land for seven days and seven nights. The group consists of female dancers, sindens and gamelan performers.

What is unique about this pirate group is that it is forbidden to play women until the stage of intercourse. It was a mid-ocean abstinence that they believed in, except that the one who did it was husband and wife. If you want to play women, the pirate members will go ashore and will rent officially, namely pleasure merchant women.

To be more lively, the large ship was also given marine nuanced decorations, such as seashell curtains, mesh decoration, mine decoration, colorful small flags, and others. The bridal room was decorated like a real bridal room.

However, half a day before the marriage contract, where the pirate members were already wearing their best clothes, they were suddenly ambushed by the war fleet.

“There are musuuh ..!” shouted a pirate who stood on the mast of the ship, his task was indeed to monitor the distance.

So the whole passenger ship. They came out to see who the enemy was coming.

“Place white flag! It's wedding day, no war!” shrimps chanted Coral following the orders of Cucum Mili.

A total of ten large ships, even larger than the Stone Crab Pirates, were moving rapidly coming closer.

“That fleet war Kingdom Singayam!” shouted a pirate who recognized the image of the flag of each ship the same, namely the picture of the head of a rooster was crowing black in yellow cloth.

Shocked Cucum Mili heard that the fleet that came to them was the royal fleet of his future in-laws. He and Sugang Laksama immediately came out of the room and looked into the sea.

Ten warships loaded with battle-ready soldiers moved to open the formation, aiming to encircle the Stone Crab Pirates.

The fleet was spearheaded by Admiral Parorot, Commander of the Naval War of Singayam Kingdom.

Long story short, the fleet aims to free Prince Laksama Wijaya Ranu, real name Sugang Laksama, from a swarm of pirates.

Cucum Mili and Sugang Laksama try to explain that the prince is not kidnapped, but will get married. However, Cucum Mili and her future husband could not convince Admiral Parorot to believe.

“If the Prince is not released, then right now your ship will be sunk with its people!”

That's Admiral Parorot's threat.

Finally, with a heavy heart and sad heart, Cucum Mili chose to take off Sugang Laksama who he loved so much. If he forced it to fight, only death and destruction would they get. One ship against ten ships. Forty pirates fight thousands of soldiers. The results are clearly legible.

As the fleet of warships moved home, Cucum Mili could only feel the destruction of heart. She cried herself in her aborted bridal room filled by a husband.

While on the aircraft carrier of the Royal War Fleet Singayam, Sugang Laksama looked so happy.

“I'm finally free of those pirates. I'm happy with the Crab Queen, but I'm happier to be free. Hahaha!” said Sugang Laksama to Jura Paksa who also participated in the fleet. 

Next, back to the present, where Alma Fatara who was a young virgin girl stood opposite Cucum Mili who returned to land. They stood face to face, reliving memories four years ago. (BH)
