My mother's a ghost
The Part 46
Mr. Teguh gave a loud snort when he heard the conversation of the people outside the school gate who were about to pursue him.
“You think you'll be able to find me?” Said Mr. Teguh in his heart. “Try it if you can.”
***
I'm trying to find a kid who deserves to exchange his tribe for Mala. It's good they took it. Don't think my age is not young you can easily conquer.
Damn me for not thinking someone could find this kid in a backpack. I should have put it downstairs right away. Fortunately I came on time, those rancid children I could quickly disappear. No one will know they are down there.
Yes it is. I'll put this kid somewhere else. I'll take him quickly before heading to Post 3.

He looked at Mala who was turning blue in front of him. Who could have thought if his favorite daughter was limp with her eyes closed. Efforts to strengthen the physical and mental forge nine-year-old child was fatal due to his ambition.
“Mala! Don't try to lie to you, yeah! You know you're pretending, right?” Stomach firmly on Mala who stops shivering.
“Mala! Wake up!” The commandment is firmly on Mala who sits on a large rock on the riverbank. Teguh approached the princess only wayangnya with fierce. “Come wake up!” Shouted Firmly. “This is not how much, if you take me to climb a mountain outside the island, it will be heavier than this, Mala.” Teguh said without knowing, that Mala was struggling through severe hypothermia.
The activities they do almost every weekend that turned into physical torture in Mala.
“Come, Mala! A little more until!” Firmly give encouragement to Mala who soon arrive at their destination, the river across the hill.
“Pak, we stop for a moment, yes. Not strong, huh? It's so sleepy.” Mala answered with no spirit. While Teguh had already walked a few steps in front of him.
“A little more until, Mala. Look, the sun is almost here. Lest we be preceded by the sun.” Teguh said without looking at Mala who walked slowly down the hills.
Mala's teeth churned as they endured the cold. The joints on Mala's fingers felt stiff even though she had put them in her thick jacket pocket. His breathing gasped for air because it was difficult to regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide that exchanged places on his body.
Mala chose to sit on a large tree trunk and opened her backpack. The bottle that keeps the temperature warm on the tea prepared by his father left a few sips. Without thinking twice, Mala gulped down the liquid with the caffeine content. The sweet liquid containing caffeine enters through Mala's mouth, then flows into the stomach from the esophagus. The feeling of warmth feels so comfortable, so Mala wants to close her eyes when warm tea enters through the capillaries into the blood that will soon be flowed throughout the body. With the help of this fluid, Mala's heart starts pumping blood throughout the body faster.
“Mala! C'mon fast! If not sooner, then you will stay here alone. Dare?” The Order of the Strong to Mala.
With a sense of laziness Mala moved to follow the orders Teguh. Glucose from the sweet tea he drank earlier, able to deliver energy into cells in the body.
The teak forest on the hill began to catch a tinge of orange light from the east. Mala directs her body to the illumination of the Creator. His eyes nelangsa staring at the Surya who never bragged about the promise to always accompany living things. The proof of his presence every morning is enough to make anyone able to hope for a better life.
Mala glanced at the almighty beauty that made anyone stunned. The Sun is indeed awakened from one direction, however, electromagnetic waves consisting of various colors can cover all directions.
Mala remembered the words of her mother, live like the sun, even if she sets, it will rise tomorrow. Likewise with us, if the problem approaches, it is okay to be sad. Fight and rise to recover.
Without feeling, Mala's tears were shed. Can't wait to be reunited with his mother who is somehow in the dimension. Just like climbers who patiently climb milli-by-milli to get to the top, in order to wait and perpetuate the tough rigidity of the sun facing billions of pairs of eyes alone. As long as the sun is still rising every day, anyone can still change for the better.
“Mother, Mala miss.”

“See, Mala! Not every day we can find clear and fresh water like this.” Seru Teguh's.
The stream of calm river water was also shallow, reflecting light like crystals. Mala shivered anxiously when she imagined if she had to touch the river water.
Without requiring permission from the Owner, Teguh rolled up his jacket sleeve and approached towards the river. Firmly scooping his face greedily, as if there was no more water he could enjoy for this life.
“Sini, Mala! Comeing! When else can we take a natural bath like this?” Teguh said without noticing Mala's increasingly pale face.
Rushing firmly to open his hat, jacket, and shoes. Within seconds he had occupied a black rock half submerged by the river water.
Inevitably, Mala followed her Father. Slowly but surely Mala opened her jacket and shoes and tried to sit on the river bank. Kemalangan did not preach his arrival first, tired of the leg muscles Mala deliver wretched. The slippery stone that is believed to tread his feet actually carries half his body sitting on the bottom of the river. The water as well as the morning air in the extremely cold plateau overcame the pain in his buttocks. Mala screamed in surprise.
Blood vessels and nerves in the legs due to being submerged in cold water as if damaged. The skin and underlying tissues freeze.
“One time fresh, right?” Firmly do not worry about Mala who has wet her pants. Teguh never forgets to bring a change of clothes for Mala, so it does not matter if it has to end up in a wet situation like now.
As much as Mala's energy rose alone to make it out of the cold river water. Trained, Mala laid her tired body on a boulder by the river.
“Mala!” Call the Strong from where he sits. He quickly got up and approached Mala.
“Mala! Don't try to lie to you, yeah! You know you're pretending, right?” Stomach firmly on Mala who stops shivering. His breath is getting weaker.
Firmly touching both cheeks Mala who has no energy. Firmly jerked by the skin of the cheeks that were as cold as ice.
“Mala! Awake, Son. Don't joke about this. I don't like it!” Mala did not respond. His consciousness is starting to decline. Firmly put his finger on Mala's wrist to confirm her pulse. There was hardly any movement in Mala's veins. His lips began to turn blue.
It is well known that Mala is now suffering from hypothermia. He immediately picked up Mala and moved her to a dry place. In one move, Teguh picked up the backpack and took out Mala's change of clothes. Although things are not going well, Teguh tries to keep calm changing clothes Mala. Teguh grabbed Mala's jacket as well as hers, to cover Mala's body. Then, Teguh rubbed his palm quickly, then placed his hand on Mala's cheek.
“Mala, wake up, son. Don't leave me alone.” Pinta Teguh.
