Raka was very happy to get acquainted with Theo.So the original Papuan man stated that he wanted to raise him as a brother, and then he ran away to embrace Theo. They hugged and patted each other on the shoulders.
"Thank you, Theo, we're friends now and brothers. I'm glad to meet you."
Theo, smiling widely, walked inside. Also Halima.While the others prepared a bonfire in the courtyard. They'll make a sibling appointment.
Raka opened the door where there was Mardo inside. The girl raised her face and was stunned to see the figure in front of her.
"Sir Raka!"
Mardo spontaneously got up from his seat and ran to embrace the man.
Oh beloved.
Raka greeted the girl and hugged her back.
"We'll be fine, don't be afraid."
"Yes right Miss, everything is fine even we're going to party."
Mardo raised his face looking for that voice, "Halima!"
"Halima was there too? beta just thought of the person."
Mardo pulled Halima's hand, grasping her tightly.
"Halima did a great thing earlier. He told me about you until Theo and his friends were dumbfounded. Finally Theo believes you're nothing like the complaint. Good thing there's Halima."
"Oh, thank you Halima."
Both of them hugged tightly.
Mardo felt something sense of security infiltrate into his soul when he saw Raka appear earlier. Until he soared in excitement, forgetting how much he had kept his distance from the man. He felt his cheeks flushed because he felt a strong movement of blood moving to his cheeks.
The courtyard of the house in the middle of the wilderness was crowded by the natives. Most of Theo's friends. Also the father of the tribe leader and the mother who had been picked up by Theo's men. The ceremony was immediately held. Raka and Mardo were taken to the courtyard. Halima accompanied Mardo beside her. Music and singing began to sound. Mardo was silent, he remembered often hearing the wind-blown sayup tetabuhan. Lost and gone. It turns out this is how they are. The bonfire had already turned into rosy fire embers. There's a shell in it. They sing and move their hands. Dru dru nina dru nina
dru nina nina yes yes...
Merduous and syahdu tetabuhan and his song.
Then they all circled the campfire a few times. The traditional rituals that their descendants maintain.
Mardo had heard that the city of Fakfak was the only city whose original inhabitants embraced Islam. That's why that night he didn't see the people of the interior bare-chested. Unless they all wear clothes and clothes. The Chief also wears a hijab. Thank God Theo is a Muslim.
After it was over, the father and the mother of the chief of the tribe rubbed something onto the back of Raka's hand, Mardo was also Halima.Kata Halima was red chalk from a shell that was crushed into flour. Now they are brothers. With just the symbol alone, they were now already brothers.
The bonfire, as well as the embers of the fire were turned off and dismantled. There was a lot of food in the fire.
Mat on the degree, and the food came. The yam yam that is burned in the embers of the fire, as well as the flesh of the forest chicken.
A bowl of sago soup was given to Raka and Mardo.The two looked at each other. Then inhale it because there is no spoon. Everyone cheered and then followed enjoying sago soup. Theo said they only had food like that. Sago was obtained from the forest. Small garden garden that grows yams, potatoes and beans. Some people work in Pala orchards. So they also have food and sweets from nutmeg.
Raka who had never entered the wilderness in her life was amazed by the circumstances of that night.
He asked if they ate rice? the chief said.only occasionally.Because rice is very expensive. Raka immediately promised to give them some sacks of rice.Theo just smiled a smile and nodded his head in a nod.
Halima also said that her family also only once a year ate rice, during holidays and Christmas. And Mardo also said that Raka also did not mind giving Halima rice. Everybody laugh.
"Why aren't you the only one who loves you?"
"All dong."
The two smiled, the closeness getting stronger between Raka and Mardo.
By midnight, the ritual is over. Raka took Mardo and Halima with him.
The old man was already anxious to search here and there.No one had time to inform them. Sarah Lee is also worried about Halima Haremba. I don't usually go not tell. He thinks Halima's coming home in an exotic town. Mardo's parents were also anxious and afraid, and they even complained to the police.
Oh, suddenly Mardo felt his body was not good.
"Why?why Mardo?"
"Suddenly, my body felt sick and hot."
"Geez, hold it."
But the pain didn't go away. Even though Halima had smeared with eucalyptus.
Raka scrambled into the darkness of the night, then before long they entered the hospital.
Raka looked at the girl who was already limp and pale.
The doctor said Mardo had to be treated to find his illness. Raka agreed. He then gave up Mangara, he hoped that Mardo's brother could not sleep thinking about his missing sister.
"What's? ja-so the Papuan boy group kidnapped Mardo?"
Mangara choked when Raka told of their existence until late at night like this.
But it's all over well. The problem arrived in the city suddenly Mardo had a fever and fainted. Now they're in the hospital.
Mangara thanked him for taking Mardo to the hospital.
Wh who?
Papi who heard Mangara talking with someone approached. They were all tense and could sleep waiting for the police to inform them. In fact, Raka is more informed about Mardo.
"Raka Pi, he said Mardo kidnapped Papuan children in the interior. But apparently Raka can negotiate until they are eliminated. But now they're out of the woods and he says suddenly Mardo fell ill.
Panicked and anxious, they immediately ran down, the car parked on the side of the road.In the atmosphere of the wind that blows and dark, Mangara drove the car to the city center.
"Be careful bang, no speeding," Mami warned her son.
"Oh, yes Mi, sorry."
They are drowning with their own thoughts. Kidnapped by indigenous Papuans? like a man passing by every morning in front of the house. Is that guy like him? tall strapping, wearing a coat and dreadlocks ? how sorry Mardo is, he must be scared.
Raka is waiting in the hospital lobby, he and Mangara send each other a message.
Halima was waiting at the door of Mardo's room. He had already called Sarah Lee and told her about the incident in front of the school. Sarah Lee was shocked. He then informs Richi and other friends, but Betty, Zamzam, Rose and others promise to come. They were afraid something had happened.
Seriate.
