CH 29 - BENDOWO FAMILY'S

Some Bhayangkara raised the body of Muhibbin who was still groaning in pain, some of his ribs were broken and both eyes were sore due to sand particles thrown at the time of his fight with the merchant Yanto.

Sariwati carefully followed the Bhayangkara who brought Muhibbin from Purnama beach to Banjar Manguntur.

Arriving at Banjar Manguntur, Muhibbin was treated at the treatment hall and a Balian assisted by several people immediately took care of Muhibbin and so Sariwati who was an alchemist helped Jero Balian.

Muhibbin ribs are wrapped with dried palm leaf powder commonly called kluping and seen Jero Balian pounding the bark of the kwangi tree in a jar of cork fish oil and some binahong leaves. The collision of several bone fracture recovery drugs formulated by Jero balian was immediately washed on the bruise on Muhibbin's body.

Semantara the Jero Balian cantrik boil betel leaves at the back of the Manguntur Medicine Hall. Saw Sariwati approaching,

"Let me take it forward, gentlemen just finish concocting some of the medicinal ingredients that Jero Balian requested,"

"I will take care of Muhibbin." concluded Sariwati to the cantrik Jero Balian.

"Alright Ni Sanak, but please be careful when cleaning the eyes nak mas Muhibbin," replied one of the cantrik to Sariwati.

The woman immediately rushed to bring a bokor containing medicinal decoction and betel leaves, arriving in the Medicine Hall she immediately approached Muhibbin who was still lying on a bamboo bale with a mat. Seen bruised wounds on the body Muhibbin has been wrapped in cloth by Jero Balian.

"Hold ya Bin, I'll clean your eyes, maybe it will hurt a little" said Wati as he sobbed.

"Hi, why are you crying?"

"I'll be fine, Wati!" muhibbin said he heard the cries of his best friend.

"Have it, I am still strong and can endure. These wounds are not much and in the next few weeks, I will definitely heal." again the man strengthened the woman sitting next to him.

"Yes, I know Bin you must be cured. I'm sorry yes! has involved you in this matter" said Sariwati lirih.

"You don't have to go that far thinking, it's all my responsibility. You have been my own family, we in this country have no one even though the Sekar family and my adoptive father have been very good to us," Muhibbin said again.

"This incident is out of our control, Wati!"

"Yes, thank you for your help all this time, I will not forget your kindness Bin!" sariwati answered while holding her best friend's hand.

The sun began to rise in the eastern horizon, the day felt long with the incident that hit the village of Batubulan.

Attacks by hooded Yanto merchant members have made a dark history and deep sadness in the Beach Country, seen several injured Pecalang and Bhayangkara members in the care of Jero Balian cantrik. The residents of Banjar Manguntur were no less busy with cleaning up the debris of Banjar Hall which was destroyed by the bondet explosion of one of the members of the attacker, he said, Some residents prepared the burial of the bodies of some Pecalang and Bhayangkara as well as most of the bodies of the hooded assailants.

"Unfortunately, we can't let this go. I don't want this to set a bad precedent for the Coast Country and the central government doesn't hesitate to intervene if we can't solve this case." said Mr. Timoti who looks tired even though anger gurgles radiated on his face.

"For while the casualties on our side amounted to five dead, three from the Pecalang and two from Bhayangkara."

"From the attackers all died except for two fugitives who fled with jukung including Yanto merchants inside" Prawira Utama told Mr Timoti.

"And more surprisingly, according to the results of my subordinate investigation, the merchant Yanto was a former Darmayudha cadet with the rank of Prawira Muda and the attacking gang were his men while still on duty. Perhaps you still remember one of the people who threw explosives last night, he was Karto, one of the leaders of Darmayudha Beach Country who was fired due to the persecution of one of the Galuh Village residents so that the residents were killed."

"Has right, they look trained and I remember because of Karto's dismissal letter, I signed it" said the governor Timoti.

"True sir, and so far the mastermind of the destruction of fish habitats and coral reefs Purnama beach is the work of their plotters, the result of the looting of fish with bondets was accommodated by Setyanto's brother or known as Yanto's merchant."

"The sea results by them are sent to the Land of Floods and that makes us have to be careful in handling this case because Yanto himself is the son-in-law of Mr. Bendowo and the company that has been Mr. Bendowo buying seafood from Yanto." concluded the head of Bhayangkara.

"Badly, their mentang-hat the ruling family of the Emerald Country arbitrarily controlled and made unilateral gains regardless of the condition of the country of the colony of the Emerald kingdom." the voice of Mr. Timoti trembling withstood the wrath.

"From the family of the late king of Harsuto was greedy, let alone to others or the people, on their own brothers they can have the heart to justify all means for their benefit!" continued Mr. Tomoti.

"But wait, as I recall, according to the information from the governor of the Flood Country that one of Bendowo's sons-in-law was expelled for making a grave mistake on their family?" ask Mr. Timoti to Prawira Utama Bhayangkara.

"True sir, the son-in-law of the great lord of Bendowo was none other than the merchant Yanto or more complete Setyanto" replied the leader of Bhayangkara.

"BRAZIL"

"SATAN ALAS"

"it's worth the behavior is equally corrupt like his in-laws," concluded Mr. Tomoti while pounding the table.

"It turns out that after the expulsion, Yanto still on behalf of the big name of Mr. Bendowo to run his business, Mr." added the leader of Bhayangkara.

All who were in that place were stunned by the investigation of Bhayangkara, not least Mr. Sirkun and Mr. Nengah.

"Now we must be more careful, I will coordinate with the king of the Emerald kingdom who is mulya Suswiro Wadigdo and the commander of the Darmayudha kingdom of the Emerald to resolve this matter, because this case is not as easy as we imagine let alone concerning the large family of Bendowo." ordered Mr. Timoti.

"And take the fish-skinned girl to the Governor's Hall, let her take care of me" he concluded.

"Ready, sir." replied the Bhayangkara leader.

The meeting at Banjar Manguntur was completed and all those present returned to their respective places with burdens and thoughts raging over the bloody incident that occurred.
