Those who follow the instructions, will get favors. Those who run from the clues will only get the curse. Those who sit prostrating will get a hint, while those who sit laughing, will get a torment. Goodness will only come to those who ask. Good people never die, because good is stronger than death.

Seeing the glowing object coming out of the rock cliff, Marlon and Marlin became curious. They started climbing the hardwood tree. But because it is wet and mossy, it is very difficult to climb. Only with the strength of heart and spirit steel did they finally manage to reach a high branch that was parallel to the stone emitting that golden light. And their conjecture was right, the thing that protruded out of the hill was indeed a lump of gold.

And on top of that golden chunk grew a black orchid tree that dangled down. Cover some of the gold. The orchid grows attached to a dead log as a parasite. The twins couldn't believe what they saw. After days of searching, they were finally able to find him. An orchid tree is black, and bright red.

“Marlin, is it really what I saw? Is it an orchid tree?” ask Marlon

“Betul kaka, that is the golden orchid flower we are looking for!” marlin shouted excitedly.

“Yes. Black orchid flowers that grow dangling on a chunk of gold stone,” Marlon said. “Means it is called golden black orchid.”

Unlike other types of orchids in general, the black crown of Papua is so difficult to find.to be able to meet this flower we have to explore the depths of the Papua forest because the habitat is there. This black orchid is really dark in color. Almost all of the petals are black inside and out. But, in the middle, this flower has a different color. Sometimes purple, sometimes a little bright red.

As a result, this color combination gives rise to an elegant combination.Black vegetables are very difficult to bred. To be able to produce seedlings it must be placed in conditions and environments such as its natural habitat. A special feature of the Papua orchid, this black orchid is the only one in the world.

Marlin swiftly picked a few stalks of the black orchid and put them in the bag he had prepared. The faces of the twins looked happy. They believe the disease currently suffered by Kaka Yohana will soon disappear. And seeing the beautiful kaka will smile back.

They immediately came down from the top of the tree. Retrace the river flow. This time in the opposite direction, heading downstream. Passing two dragons and a stone overdraft that houses the springs of the river baliem. Looking at a glimpse of dozens of birds of paradise of various types, perched on the branch without moving at all. Then cast his gaze towards the giant hardwood trees that surrounded this place.

“Papa says the source of Baliem river springs inhabited by the fairies and guarded by two fire dragons. It turns out to be true kaka,” said Marlin.

Marlon smiled as he nodded. The fairies were birds of paradise and the two dragons were the giant red-eyed thorn lizards they had encountered earlier. Perhaps the elders deliberately made a creepy story, so that this place is considered sacred so that people are afraid to come visit it. That way this place remains beautiful without being touched by human hands.

“Don't tell anyone about this Marlin. If this story is spread, surely this forest will be leveled with land, and the rock hill will be mined because it contains a very large gold reserve,” Marlon message to his sister.

“Iya kaka's. I-i understand. Let this darkness be eternal. They can still stay, even if they have to live without light,” said Marlin.

After a while of looking at it they finally left the place. The stone mustika Nene Yoteni gave suddenly extinguished. The atmosphere turned dark and silent again. Only the sound of water splashing was heard clearly, as the legs of the twin boys treaded on the clear river bed of Baliem.

Marlon and Marlin returned home safely. Nene Yoteni, Papa Neles, Mama Perpetua, Luke's uncle welcomed them like heroes who had just returned from the battlefield and won victory.

Perpetua hugged his two sons tightly. He was very grateful to have good sons. Dear and responsible for family. But what shocked them was the presence of their Elementary School teacher Martinus Marama. And he did not come alone, but with a man dressed in white.

“This is doctor Hendra, my friend. He's the head of the puskesmas in Wamena. He wanted to come after hearing the story about the illness suffered by Yohana to snatch his two aunts.,” said Marama.

“Doctor Hendra just checked Yohana's body outside his room,” he replied.

“How did it go doc?”

“You are suffering from Chikungunya disease due to mosquito bites. People who contract this disease will feel tremendous heat, The whole joint feels stiff and painful so it is difficult to move,” said the young doctor explained. “I've given him anti-virus drugs and other drugs.”

Marlon and Marlin looked at the young doctor's astonishment. Justjust wonderful.

‘Now go up to Yohana's room. Then give the black orchid to him,” said Nene Yoteni reminded.

The two twin boys nodded their heads. They were also impatient to hand over a flower of this orchid to their sister, Johana. Rushing them towards the main Ebei where Yohana's body lay weak. After greeting, they immediately went up and entered his room. Yohana's face immediately reddened to see the arrival of her sisters. He wanted to let out some excitement by hugging them.

“Kaka, how are you today?” ask Marlon.

Yohana just nodded her head while crying. Both of her delicate cheeks were wet again due to the teardrops.

“We bring medicine for you kaka, take it,” said Marlin as he handed her a sprig of black orchids.

Marlon took hot water. Then brew the black orchid in a container made of coconut shells. The color of the water turned black.

“Minum kaka,” said Marlon while thrusting the special glass to his brother's mouth.

With the spirit of Yohana drank the black orchid potion water until it ran out.he heard his breath hunt fast. His face flushed a sign that his blood flow was flowing smoothly. Marlon and Marlin looked at it with anxious expectation. But they then became relieved when they saw her brother's smile on the corner of her lips. Marlin almost shouted out of happiness.

“See, kaka Yohana can already smile,”.

Marlon was also smiling very happily. Either because of the medicine given by the doctor Hendra or the influence of the Black Orchid flower, which is clear Yohana can already move her hands without pain anymore
