CONFINEMENT

CH 54 - RETURN TO COASTAL LAND PART II

The machine whistle began to sound, as fast as Lohdaya began to arrive at Tawangalun station, back and forth the passengers began to look crowded to rush the transportation, as well as Muhibbin and his entire family.

"Come, Mother! we have to get on board because the tracks are about to leave for Kalipuro." Muhibbin was seen holding his mother's hand while next to him was helped by his brother.

"Raya, let's help our pack of licks and built-in lift-up lady!" muhibbin cried to his nephew. The tiny hands of the Sacred Kingdom looked troubled lifting one of their luggage bags.

"You take the little ones, Nduk! let your uncle lift the rest!" light Exclaims at the Holy Kingdom.

With his shoulder Muhibbin shouldered his hand and his next hand guided his mother who was assisted by her brother. Before long they entered Lohdaya and the young man immediately found a seat for them,

"Here you go, Ma'am yu! the place was quite relieved." Muhibbin said to his brother, they were seen heading towards the seat that was a long bench.

The Holy Kingdom inched to sit by the window,

"Sir Lik, I'm sitting by the window!" the Holy Great Whine on Muhibbin.

"It's okay, just your head don't look out the window! the wind is strong lo, Nduk." said Muhibbin.

The little girl nodded her head while occasionally her eyes were fixed out the window.

"Want to drink?" tanya Light who sat beside Suratmi while holding out a glass bottle filled with drinking water.

"No need to Nduk, just later." replied Suratmi briefly. The old woman was seen occasionally fixing the veil she wore.

No matter how long the rattles of iron wheels began to sound indicating that the track began to move towards Kalipuro station which is the last station in the eastern part of the island of barley.

Throughout the unceasing journey the eyes of the Sacred Kingdom were amazed to see the view of the rice fields that spread yellowish green along the tracks that passed over the length of Lohdaya and occasionally the little girl asked her uncle who was sitting next to her.

"Sir, now we're entering what territory?" ask the little girl.

Muhibbin who had been overwhelmed to answer all his nephew's questions just sighed, understandably because the Holy Kingdom had never left the Stone Snake Country since birth.

"This area is called Gumitir which is still in the Blambangan State, Ray" Muhibbin replied briefly.

The Sacred Lord who was still curious asked again,

"Is it still a long way off the Coast, Mr lik?"

"Yes far away, Nduk!"

"Tomorrow afternoon we'll be there if there's no roadblock."

"Later in the afternoon we arrived at Kalipuro station after that to Sri Tanjung port by boat to the coastal country" explained Muhibbin to his nephew.

"You should sleep first, so don't be too tired. Later when it's near, sir, I'll wake up!" reemerged.

"Yes, Mr. Ik." replied the Holy Kingdom while laying his head on Muhibbin's lap. The young man was seen stroking the hair of his nephew who began to sleep, while Suratmi and Light had fallen asleep before entering the Blambangan State area.

The sky began to cloudy and drizzle began to fall, rainwater began to wet the earth and from behind the windows that began to dew, seen the goal in the distance Kalipuro station was starting to close. The blowing of the machinist whistle was heard breaking the gurgling rain.

Along the way, Muhibbin could not close his eyes. His heart was waiting for his arrival in the Beach Country. The young man touched the shoulder of his older brother who was sitting in front of him,

"Mbak yu, wake up! we are almost there." said Muhibbin woke up his brother.

The light began to open his eyes and awaken Suratmi who was asleep next to him as well as Muhibbin awakened the sleeping Holy Kingdom.

"Wake Nduk! we have reached the Kalipuro station." said Muhibbin raised his nephew's head lying on his lap.

No matter how long, Lohdaya sepur began to stop and all passengers began to disembark, including Muhibbin and his family. The day that starts at dusk with the former rain shower makes the air colder. Suratmi occasionally coughed as she stepped into the waiting room of the station.

"Mbak Yu, I think we should spend the night here first while resting."

"If we force this time directly to the port of Sri Tanjung, I am worried about the condition of my mother" Muhibbin said to Cahaya while covering her mother's body with a rag she took from the bag.

"I'm okay, Le! let's just continue our journey so that we can get to the Beach Country."

"I can't wait to meet your future wife!" suratmi told Muhibbin.

"Yes mom, it's not better to spend the night here."

"The weather is not good for long-term health if we continue the journey now." now Light also persuades his mother.

"What's wrong, Nduk! let's continue, God willing, my mother is still strong." replied the old woman with a smile.

"Where's Le?" ask the Light to Muhibbin.

"Yes mbak yu know for himself how mom, we just follow mbak yu!"

"I'll go out first to find a delman ride to get us to the port" Muhibbin said.

"You eat first while waiting for me here, it's time for you to fill your stomach." he cried again.

"Yes Miss, I'm hungry!" the Sacred Rage on Light.

"Yes, you go find delman's ride first, while we wait while we eat." replied Light, his hand opened the bushel of food he carried. Muhibbin rushed out of Kalipuro station looking for a delman ride to escort them to Sri Tanjung port.

Almost half an hour Muhibbin came out and the young man was seen back in the waiting room of the station and approaching his family,

"Yes, ma'am yu! because of the rainy atmosphere, many delman owners who came home early but fortunately there is still one of the sais delman who has not returned home" explained Muhibbin.

"Aren't you hungry, Le?"

"From this morning you haven't eaten" Light told his sister.

"Sir Ma'am Yu, I'm not hungry yet."

"We should hurry, outside already awaited by the father of the owner of the delman."

"Are you ready?" exciting Muhibbin.

Light, Suratmi and the Sacred Kingdom nodded their heads. They rushed from Kalipuro station to Sri Tanjung port.

Delman they boarded through the night, the muddy streets of the former raindrop slow down the pace of the horse-drawn carriage. Almost an hour they went through the road to the port, along the road Suratmi coughed and Light painstakingly clenched the bodies of her parents.

"I told you, we should stay at the station until tomorrow, Mom!"

"The long condition is still not fully restored." exclaimed Light to his mother, Muhibbin and the Holy Kingdom just fell silent.

"It's Nduk, you don't have to worry. Mum is okay." replied Suratmi lirih.

Light and Muhibbin only shook his head to hear the answer of the mother, the delman he was riding had started to enter the area of Sri Tanjung port.

Seen some children buak ship busy with his duties in preparing for departure to the Beach Country.

"Let's hurry, the ship will be leaving soon!" the sound of the crew muffling arranged for the passengers who began to enter the ship.

Muhibbin and his family rushed through the pier bridge towards the ship. It was seen the young man holding his mother's Suratmi and the Light and Holy Kingdom carrying a bag following him from behind.

No matter how long the ship began to lift the anchor sailing to the Land of the Coast. The waves of Tanjung Selat which separates the island of Jelai and the State Beach is not so big, in the distance seen dark twinkle of light illumination from the pier Ujung.

Pier Ujung also known as Gili Manuk caused at one time there was a fisherman Land of Garam adrift in the sea Cape Strait due to a storm and stranded on a small island inhabited by herds white starling and kneeling, Gili Manuk itself means bird island.

The goals are increasingly clearly visible dock Gili Manuk separating the island of barley with the State of the Beach.

Jelai Island itself was originally fused with the island of Negeri Pantai, at one time a sage named Resi Sidi Mantra from the State of Daha who was awarded by Batara Guru extraordinary magic etched his stick separating the island of barley and the coastal State as a barrier where he remained silent with his son named Manik Angkeran who is famous for fun and gambling.

One time Manik Angkeran tricked Dragon Basuki the father's friend who had golden scales by cutting off the tail of Dragon Basuki.

As a result of his actions, Naga Basuki got angry and killed Manik Angkeran.

Seeing his son killed Resi Sidi Mantra begs his best friend Naga Basuki to revive his son.

Naga Basuki is willing to revive Manik Angkeran on the condition that Sidi Mantra Reconnects his severed tail and Manik Angkeran must repent of his bad deeds.

The day began to change the reddish tinge in the eastern horizon began to be seen, the ship boarded by Muhibbin family began to anchor lego and docked at the dock Gili Manuk. The morning air feels fresh after a night in the rain.

Muhibbin and his family along the bridge of the pier, a radiant hue radiated on the face of Muhibbin because soon he and his family will meet Sariwati the idol.

"Emak, Ma'am Yu, you guys stay here first! I'm going to get a horse-drawn carriage back to take us to Banjar Manguntur" Muhibbin told Cahaya.

The look of fatigue radiated on the face of the old Suratmi, making Light anxious about his mother's condition.

"Is it still far away from your home, Le?"

"I feel sorry for your condition."

"Emak looks very tired, Bin" said the woman back

"If we leave at this time, about noon we will reach the hamlet of Manguntur, Mbak yu" replied Muhibbin, who was,

"But if you see the condition of the mother, mending we leave a little day, even though the night we get to my place is not a problem."

"I think it's better" Muhibbin said.

"Near here there is a banjar hall that we can use to rest for a moment, what about the panjenengan, Mak?" muhibbin looked at his mother's face.

"Emak was aja, Le." said Suratmi was exhausted and occasionally coughing.

Now Muhibbin's gaze turned to his brother, "Come on mbak yu, let's take a break."

"Raya, help Ms. Lik get her bag, yes, Nduk!"

"Pak Lik will carry Mbah uti." exclaimed Muhibbin to his nephew.

"Yes, Mr. Lik." replied the little girl while nodding softly.
