Go home.

Chapter 3

“Mamak allows you to go bujang. But promise me, Mama, you

just watching in the woods there, can't do anything. "I nodded.

“Don't do anything stupid in the jungle there, bujang."

I hold the spear lent by my father. My feet don't wear any padding, I don't have any. After all, the villagers prefer to enter the forest barefoot.

“Jaga my son, Young Tauke. Or Mama will be angry later if she sees him coming home injured even a moment.” said my father.

I patted the shoulder of a narrow-eyed man.

The guy shook his head, “You're mistaken, Shahdan. He's the one who's gonna take care of me. Like you did for my father." He smiled, then nodded.I stood behind them, listening. I followed the entourage. Start climbing the slopes, passing the trails, towards the heart of the Sumatran jungle.

Their keen sense of smell instantly knew where*** was located. The entourage is broken down into three, as per the number of dogs. I'm with your old friend, along with two fire-armed hunters, and three young villagers.

The hunting atmosphere was immediately felt. The ceiling of the Sumatran jungle feels moist.

We ran around following the dogs, busking, jumping over small rivers, climbing valleys, gliding.

Wherever the Dog ran, we ran behind him.My father joked when he said I was never alone in the forest, I know this forest. If my Mama doesn't know, I often hide away wandering in the jungle.

our dog started barking differently, a sign he had found prey. Sure enough, one minute later, two**** tails were visible above the slope, still forty meters away from us.******** it was sniffing, aware of the threatening danger, was still forty meters away from us, immediately run cross-hairs.

“Two people moving to the right! The rest come with me to the left.” The narrow-eyed man told two hunters and three young gutters to split, “Splight ******* that. Don't let pass.” We immediately pursued. Climbing up the hillside.with a breath of sting we managed to make the **** it was cornered.

The sound of the rifle erupting, following which, two**** were finally sprawled on the floor

forest. two**** it's not big, it's eighty kilograms at most.

“Congratulations, Bujang. This ****our first hunt.”Young Taeke patted my shoulder.

I'm nodding.

“We're moving again!” Young Taeke exclaimed to the hunter and the gutter youth.

we just left those two****, that is,

immediately look for the next hunt.

Dogs bark impatiently, chains

back removed, his legs darted running between the tight trees.

We keep moving, efficient and unforgiving.

****-*****this does not have

an opportunity to dodge, let alone fight.This hunter snuffed out

whatever *** is visible, including young ones, is powerless.

By evening, it was raining. The group stops, the hunter opens the backpack.

“You wear this rain jacket, Bujang.” Young Taeke threw the dark jacket at me.

I'm nodding.

“You seem so quiet, Bujang.

We immediately resumed the hunt. Four****the next forest to be sprawled, the size is getting bigger.

The sun finally set on foot

the sky there, the dark forest. The hunters took out a flashlight, put it on the head, the light grabbed

and there among the trees.

The rain fell more and more, even with a rain jacket even though I was still drenched. “Did you ever tell me about me, Bujang?”Young Taeke asked.

I shook my head, though,

“Ah, do not know benefited Shahdan it.” Young Taeke grinned, “I once saved him, he owes his life.

And in return? Even to his own son he never told me about me,

his foster brother.”

I'm silent. Foster brother? I just found out you have an adopted brother.

“But what I did for your Father was nothing, Bujang. Because what your father did for me was much bigger. He saved my family so many times.He's a very dependable Big Tauke, my father. There's no job

which is not complete if given to the Shahdan.

His favorite Fruit. The old man shed tears when your father decided to quit fifteen years ago. "

“It was a very difficult day. No one is ever allowed to leave the family. There's only one option if you want to get out, die. But your father is an exception. He was allowed to go by the Great Tauke, to start a new life.

"Our years

when the Great Tauke Died, your Father

there was no visible trunk of his nose, really too, Shahdan did not heed.Up to a month ago a letter arrived, not believing

I read it.”

I listened to the story without interrupting.

“Alright, our food is up.

We'll go back to hunting. "

“Solutions ****-**** that!” Young Tauke shouted, not caring.Speak barked, spewing bullets.

“Fucking cabins.” Young Taeke snorted, kicking one of them.

Young Taeke turned to me, “You're fine, Bujang?”

I'm nodding. My breath is back to normal.
