Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Pete Gold 3: The Milky Way Gold Trader

*Golden Lake Catastrophe (Golden Pete)*

On the terrace of a short-legged stilt house, Muniwengi looks to be sorting and exploring a large selection of jewelry made of gold, silver, to the combination with beautiful gemstones.

The various types of jewelry were scattered in the expanse of a thick cloth of light blue color. There are gifts, jewel-headed piercing needles, rings, bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, to gold pins.

Despite remaining thin and black, Muniwengi has transformed into a glamorous, royal and riya woman. He is truly amnesiac with his life about two years ago being poor as a people without sandals.

The metamorphosis of lifestyle that suddenly became wealthy made Muniwengi seem to lose grip and foothold.

Now he is so spoiled by gold traders who stop by his magnificent house, for the community standards of the villages of Parasemiris Beach. He is free to choose and choose what he likes.

While the gold trader sat down casually on a branch of a tree that grew in front of the house, while enjoying the fresh water of young coconuts and barley cool sea breeze.

The gold trader was a slightly fat middle-aged man with a fat belly folded, as his back was not erect while sitting on the branch. He was wearing noble-style fine clothes in yellow gold combined with black as a supporting color. He was wearing a nice yellow blangkon, matching the color of his sultan's dress.

The gold trader was no ordinary gold trader. He was known as the Golden King. It was hard to find out the person who knew the real name of the Golden King. He wandered around carrying many jewels everywhere without fear of being scuttered, for he was a highly devoted man.

The Gold King's devotion could be witnessed now. His plump body sat on a branch that was only as thick as a circle of thumbs and index fingers, but the branch did not duck much less broke from holding the weight.

“Hihihi!” muniwengi laughs after he put a beautiful bright yellow-eyed giwang in both ear lobes. “How, Golden King? Beautiful?”

“Very beautiful. Jewelry that anywhere Mother Village Chief wears, everything will make beautiful sparkle,” praise the Golden King without hesitation while smiling.

“Giwang I have chosen, stay ring for two fingers,” Muniwengi said to himself.

The Golden King only smiled hearing the words of his unclean consumers.

Meanwhile on the shoreline, Slamet Lara has just returned from the sea. In stark contrast to his wife, Slamet Lara has not changed. His appearance was the same as before and still decided to go to sea because his soul was a true sailor.

The status as the Village Chief of Iwaklelet could not stop him from going to sea in search of fish. He would rather be an ordinary fisherman than a Village Chief. However, the villagers of Iwaklelet have agreed one hundred percent to make Slamet Lara the village head, after the old village chief died. Residents do not mind if Slamet Lara still chooses to go to sea as the village head.

Therefore Slamet Lara chose a representative who would serve the citizens while he was at sea. When going to sea, Slamet Lara is now accompanied by a citizen named Juminta.

Slamet Lara came home with a basket of fish. However, as he approached his house, he frowned upon seeing the existence of the Golden King. He was surprised when he saw his wife was wearing a luxurious and brilliant gift.

The Golden King only smiled when he saw Slamet Lara looking at him questioningly.

“Muniwengi, what are you doing?” ask Slamet Lara.

“Aaah, Sir. Here, a lot of jewelry suitable for Mr!” call Muniwengi happy, so that her husband immediately went up to the terrace to choose a suitable jewelry.

“True, Sir. Rich people like Father should use a little jewelry as a form of gratitude to God, because God has given a lot of sustenance to the Father,” said the Golden King, making Slamet Lara look back at him.

“Who are you, Kisanak?” ask Slamet Lara.

“I am a gold trader. My name is Golden King,” replied the Gold King kindly, keep a sweet smile. As a trader, one of the mandatory requirements is to be friendly and easily smile sweetly.

“If I wear gold, it will only rust with salt water,” said Slamet Lara.

“Hahaha!” laughter of the Golden King who considered the words of Slamet Lara as a joke.

“Muniwengi, Demang's jewelry is still piling up, why did you buy another new one?” ask Slamet Lara who is still standing on sandy soil.

“Our jewelry is stale. I need some artificial jewelry and a new pattern. The name is beautiful, although beautiful but if it does not change, it will definitely get bored to see,” call it Muniwengi.

“I agree to that, Mother Village Chief. We seem to be soulmates. Hahaha!” the Golden King said quickly then laughed happily.

“Hihihi!” muniwengi laughter.

“I mean that soul mate is one understanding. How dare I seize the wife of a Village Chief who is this beautiful? Hahaha!” the Golden King's error was quick to quell the anger of Slamet Lara.

Although not learned magic, but Slamet Lara is a brave man, that has a reckless soul.

Buginese!

“Waaak!” the Golden King's screams suddenly because there was one force that hit the tree trunk, making it have to fall down from the branch it occupied.

Jlegs!

Lucky magicians, so the Golden King was able to land well on sandy soil.

“Hahahak ..!” the loudest laughter of Alma Fatara and Anjengan had appeared under the tree. Alma laughed funnyly with her toothless gums and her body shook like the ripples of the ocean waves.

“Alma! Waffengan! Hahaha!” slamet Lara and Muniwengi shouted in surprise, then laughed out loud as well.

Slamet Lara immediately ran about to hug one of the two.

“Kabur, smell ikaaan!” yelled Alma Fatara while patting Anjengan on the shoulder.

Suddenly the two ran away from Slamet Lara, making the father stop suddenly with his face agape.

“Hahahak ..!” the laughter of the two girls after stopping and seeing the psychological condition of his father is sad.

“Hei! You two! Why is it bigger?” muniwengi. He jumped from the porch to the sand, without taking the stairs, like a warrior. Understandably, now Muniwengi was the mother of two female warriors, so she had to compensate.

Suddenly, Anjengan stopped laughing. He showed a very surprised face.

“Alma, we are not mistaken parents, ‘kan?” ask Anjengan.

“No,” replied Alma Fatara.

“I know my mother is poor. This is my father, still poor. But why did my mother suddenly dress well, like a poor man crazy rich?” ask Anjengan. He did not know that his parents had become rich.

When he went to the Blood Spirit River with Iwak Ngasin, Juling Jitu and Gagap Ayu to study, the condition of Slamet Lara and Muniwengi was still poor. While Alma who knew of the change, never told his brother.

“Hahaha!” alma Laughter.

“Dad Mom is a Slacker now, Kak Anjengan,” said Alma.

“Angaaan!” muniwengi shouted while running fast hugging the big fat Anjengan body.

Wh dude! Bluk!

Not to mention Muniwengi embracing his two thin hands, his body that hit Anjengan was already bounced by the pressure behind his daughter's fat. Muniwengi became stricken. Fortunately it was still sand.

“Hahahak!” Alma laughed loudly to see her mother bouncing.

“The two of you, go home and actually prank your parents. Watch out, you guys will be qualified!” muniwengi's serapah immediately made the two daughters speechless.

“Hahaha!” alma's laughter was flat as she came to Slamet Lara and without hesitation hugged the fishy-smelling black man.

“Hahaha! It's good to see you back home, Alma,” said Slamet Lara without daring to hug her sweet-smelling, clean-skinned daughter.

“Hahaha!” tawa Anjengan while coming to hug her mother strongly.

“Eeek!” peek stuck Muniwengi when Anjengan hugged him. It was as if his entrails were about to come out through the bottom hole due to pressure. (BH)
