PURPLE WITCH

19. NEWS FROM ACROSS

"two weeks...! so you're saying that in two weeks' time I've been able to defeat Brandon...?" Via looks very excited.

"yes...!" hengki replied coldly, her face remained stiff, expressionless.

"are you sure, Heng...?! Brandon is a guy, while Via is a girl...! after all, Via had never learned martial arts, nor had he ever fought...! isn't that too fast...?!" this time it was Bladuk who asked, as if doubting Hengki's words.

"no...! I think that's enough...! with his current physical ability and muscle strength, it was very easy to teach him some basic techniques to defeat that coward...!" answer Hengki sure.

"well, if you're sure, we believe it...!" balas Bladuk's.

"then Tom, how do we get Via and Brandon together to get them to duel...? if we go straight to his house, I think Brandon will definitely refuse, where he might be willing to duel with Via who is a woman...!" this time Siska asked Tommi.

"why do we go to Him...! let him come here...!" Tommi smiled with mystery.

"you mean...! I don't understand...!!!" Siska looks confused.

"yes, we don't understand either...! try to explain your plan, so we don't fail to understand...!" Bladuk.

"so here it is. Brandon knew Via every northern forest day, so we let it last for ten days.every day Via remained northern forest, but until there, we let it go, one of them picked him up by turning from the west. let them be busy exploring the forest looking for the existence of Via...!"

"kiss..."

Tommi then turns on a stick and sucks it.

"on the eleventh day.., Via do not go again to the north forest, but go to the house of Siska to train his martial arts with Hengki incentive.I am sure, even though they know Via in the house of Siska, I am sure, but they wouldn't dare to do anything, because they definitely knew who Papa Siska was...!"

"well, on the fifteenth day, or when we were sure Via could defeat Brandon, Via returned to training in the northern forest, while training, while waiting for Brandon to come and challenge him to a duel...!"

"i think I understand your plan...! but did you forget? Brandon must have brought a lot of his men...! and there's no way Via's facing them all...!" siska asked back.

"i know that...! that's why we're going to trap them...! during the four days of training at Siska's house, we will secretly set traps in the northern forest...! the trap will be set far away in the middle of the forest, so that when they realize, it is too late for them to return...! hehehe.."times Tommi smiled cunningly.

"what if when they get into a trap, Brandon runs away and runs away...?! didn't it all go to waste...?! my goal is to bring Brandon together with Via...!" Bladuk asked again.

"it's our job to make sure he doesn't run away...! the moment they enter the forest, we will secretly follow them from behind...! when He realized that he had fallen into a trap and tried to escape, we surrounded him from behind and cornered him to Via...!"

"but is it possible...?! the forest is vast...! and we are not many...! it was impossible to surround Him and force him to meet Via...!" Bladuk looks unsure.

"who says we're the only ones who surround them...! not that we have a football team...! it's not like we have a block boy...! if you need to, we'll ask the kids next block...!" reply Tommi.

"lho, then it will be a big commotion dong...! not that we don't want Via's parents to know this problem...?" this time it was Ayu who said.

"i guess after Via defeated Brandon, it wouldn't matter if his parents knew...! brandon has promised never to disturb Via again....!" reply Tommi.

"what if Brandon breaks his promise and keeps bothering Via...? I don't think he's the one who just keeps his word...!" this time Siska asked.

"you take it easy...! when they Duel later, we invite om Martin to come see it...! with the members of the Fleet as witnesses, I don't think it's possible that He would dare to break his promise, unless He wants to deal with the Fleet...! well, the business of inviting Martin we just hand over the same Bladuk, is not Martin the boss...! hehehe..., you can't bro...?" this time it was Tommi who asked Bladuk.

"that's an easy problem..! just leave it to me...!" Bladuk looks confident.

"great...! then it means that everyone has understood the plan earlier...! later for the trap, let me, Bladuk, Beben and John think about it...! are there any more questions?"

"i think temporary is enough...! we just live it first as you said.if there will be a change of plan, then we talk again." said Siska.

everyone there agreed.

"alright, since there's nothing else to talk about, how about now we sing again...? my head was dizzy from thinking, it was necessary to scream - scream to be normal again, hehehe..."

not waiting for another answer, Bladuk immediately picked up the guitar and strummed it.

"jamma..."

"🎼goat nine, wife three, child five...

a vast field, exhausted all in its place..."

...

sit in a circle, the glass turns...

guitars plucked, the sound squealed...

again they continued the sit-down event happily that night.

everyone seemed happy, especially Via, who was very happy because he had found a solution to his problem with Brandon.

glassy - wine glass in the sip, until without feeling, his head began to dizzy.

in a half-drunk condition, Via suddenly remembered Adi, who was,

"In... Where are you...?!" his screams made everyone there surprised and turned their heads towards him.

"oe, oe... You why Vi...?! already drunk...?! ahhaha..." Balduk laughed at Via's behavior.

instead of answering, Via shouted back, saying,

"Adi Fool...!!! you know I don't have any more problems because of you...!!!"

"whahaha....."

this time everyone there laughed at Via.

"it looks like he's a heavy miss with Adi, hahahaha..." Bram laughed a lot.

"of course he misses...! it's been more than a month that the camp has been without anything...!" Ayu.

"Don't He have been eaten by the Shark...? hahahaha.." this time it was Bladuk who laughed loudly.

"almost...!" Hengki said slowly.

"yes, almost...!!! hahahaha.. He almost ate a shark...! Hahahaha.. hahahaha.." again Bladuk laughed, this time harder.

"maybe the Shark is not so eat him because of the theory of how to eat well first.. ! ahhaha..." Siska laughed.

"or maybe his Shark was drunk to drink wine with him...! hahahaha." continued Ayu, making everyone laugh again, including Via,

"haha... Yu..., uh...! there-there are you...! shark time invited to drink wine...! hahahaha.haha...!"

"uh, but how does it seem like there's something strange...?!" suddenly Via stopped his laughter, trying to recall something wrong.

"what's weird...?! you are weird...! suddenly shouted furiously, like a possessed person...!!! hahahaha... hahahaha.." again Siska laughed widely.

Via did not heed Siska's words, his eyes were now sharply staring at Hengki.

"Heng, you just said ALMOST...! how do you know he was almost eaten by a shark...?!" this time, Via's face looked serious.

"from dreams...! hahahaha.hahahaha.." chirped Bram before Hengki had time to answer, thus making everyone laugh again.

"silence Bram...! i seriously...!!!" hardik Via, making everything immediately turn towards him.

regardless of the sight of his friends who looked at him in surprise, Via turned back to Hengki.

"Yin...! how do you know he was almost eaten by a shark...?!"

"emmm.. that..." Hengki look clumsy.

"answer Heng...! where's???" Via is starting to be impatient.

The hiccups are getting clumsy.

"patience Vi, patience...! how can He answer your question if you press him like that...!" Tommi tried to calm Via.

"you know for yourself he's hard to talk to girls...! already...! let me ask you...!" Tommi then turned to Hengki.

"Heng, how do you know Adi was almost eaten by a shark...?!"

"HE CALLED ME YESTERDAY...!!!"

"DIE...!!!"

hearing Hengki's reply, instantly everyone there seemed shocked and stopped his laughter, as well as Via, his heart immediately beat hard.

"a... are you serious...?"

"yes..."

"DIE...!!!"

the heart of Via beats hard.

"In...why did you contact Hengki but did not contact me...?! did you forget about me...?" inner Via sad and angry.

"i've always been waiting for news from you, but.., let alone call, send a message you never...! trus now you contacted Hengki, but did not tell me anything...! have you completely forgotten me...?!"

"trus what did he say...? how's things...? where is He...? what did He say...? what are you guys talking about...?!" this time Ayu asked a question.

"Mon, one-on-one...! he'll be more confused...!" reprimand Siska.

"Heng, tell me what you were talking about yesterday...!" siska.

for a moment Hengki seemed to think, then sipped wine and turned on a cigarette.

"yesterday night, when I was going to sleep, he called home all of a sudden..."

"***Heng, this is you***...?"

"***yes, this who***...?"

"***this is me, Adi***...!"

"***fucking...! no matter who...!!! you where...? why haven't you been talking about***...?!"

"***sorry Heng, I don't want to, but I can't...! two weeks after I left, the ship I was on was attacked by pirates.When it almost sank, suddenly came a rescue ship that saved me. while on the rescue ship, the rescue ship, I talked to the captain several times, and somehow, he seemed interested in me, and invited me to meet with the chairman.I was also interested in his offer and agreed, and we went to their headquarters.but not until we were at our destination, our ship was attacked by the Fleet of the sea, so we had to dock emergency***..."

"***tu... wait In.. Your story is too soon, can you repeat slowly***...?"

"***I don't have much time, Heng..! right now I'm on a public call, and maybe soon they'll catch me***...!"

"***caught you...! who...?! why***...?!"

"***Armada of this country...! they thought I was part of the people on that ship...! they thought I was part of that organization***...!"

"***what organization...?! the obvious dong...! don't make me confused***...!!!"

"***the organization we've been talking about, Heng...! ORPEKEDIA***...!!!"

"***ORPEKEDIA...!!! so you met them***...?"

"***the ship that helped me was their ship...! and I'm currently being hunted by the government of this country because it's considered part of them***...!"

"***...! what a pesky luck***...! ***then, now where are you***?"

"***me at Musti***..."

"***Show***...!!!"

"***ah, shit...! looks like they found me***...!!!"

"***Show***...!!!"

"***hei, are you okay***...???"

"***apparently no...! their number is too many***...!"

"***Show***...!!!"

"***Prang***...!!!"

"***Heng, looks like this time I won't escape... ! please convey to the brothers and sisters of our other friends, I'm sorry for this much trouble you guys...! thank you for everything***...!"

"***don't talk weird***...!!!"

"***Show***...!!!"

"***Prang***...!!!"

"***one more***..."

"***Bag***...!!!"

"***Bug***...!!!"

"***sam... send my regards to Via...! remember... remember the fireworks...! i'm... Dear.. argghhh***..."

"***tuttt.. tuttt... tutttttt***..."

the previously boisterous atmosphere now turned silent.

everyone fell silent, wondering what happened to Adi.

after nearly fifteen minutes had passed, Bladuk suddenly gulped the wine straight from his bottle.

"fucking basics...! once the call, instead of talking about good news, even weird...! my drunk is gone....!!!" her nagging.

"patience bro...! at least He's been telling us, so we know why we haven't been in contact with us...!" Tommi tried to calm Bladuk.

"then, what do we do now?" this time Siska asked.

"i don't think there is...! besides we don't know where He is, you hear for yourself who He's dealing with! with our current abilities, there is nothing else we can do, other than waiting for news from him...!" tommi replied slowly.

"yes. we can only wait, and wish him all the best...!"
