The Black Pirates

CH. 103 – Past Chapters: Salt

Morning time.

The air blows quietly and the atmosphere of a relaxing cruise without any waves hitting the ship.

In one room, Tabra and Akma Jaya talked about the letter they had seen last night.

Tabra was still fixedly staring at the letter in the hands of Akma Jaya.

"Captain, in my view, we don't have to go there. If we leave, won't this just be a waste of time? We better not have to, Captain Broboros wouldn't have known. Just let him wait and keep waiting, hoping and keep hoping."

Tabra said, while Akma Jaya said it.

"In addition to the letter, he mentioned the source of the fountain of life, obviously that sounds ridiculous." Tabra continued saying, a little silly he said with his index finger tapping on the table.

Akma Jaya smiled. "Tabra, I was thinking what's wrong? We'll wade through the ocean and gain insight, but in this case, true or not, we'll find out after finding the Valissa Region."

"So, you chose to keep sailing?" tabra asked a little. It seems that he cannot accept the decision of Akma Jaya.

Akma Jaya nodded. "Yes, I choose so, in addition we will be adventurous and as I said before to add insight."

Akma Jaya smiled knot. While Tabra could only reproduce, nod in agreement, she no longer protested, even though her view of it had been rejected and was clearly as painful as hot oil spilling into the face, it seemed.

However, the words of Akma Jaya are not sharp piercing, even the utterance only explains the intent of the choice.

Outside the room, Aisha knocked on the door.

"Captain!"

"Tabra!"

Aisha exclaimed two people at once, knocking the door a little loud.

"Later, we'll continue talking after I open the door." Akma Jaya stands, Tabra is also the same— stands tall.

"Captain, the door does not need to be opened, we continue to talk" Tabra said gesturing that it was Aisha.

"Why do you say that?" akma Jaya asked in surprise.

Tabra was looking for a reason to make sense, but failed, Akma Jaya still moved from her place, then opened the door.

It was seen a woman as tall as a straight blonde was standing in the doorway.

"Aisha." Akma Jaya stared.

Aisha smile. "It looks like Tabra is inside, why, what are you talking about?" he asked curiously because there was no explanation last night.

"We're talking about letters, if you want to come along. Come inside!" Akma Jaya welcomes with a short hand.

Aisha nodded. "Of course," he said a little fierce, then entered with a gallant temperament.

"Tabraa!" Aisha exclaimed loudly.

Tabra is sweating. "Gosh?"

"Explain quickly!" Aisha grabbed her ear without a happy face.

"Yes ..."

"Yes, yes, I'll explain, to–please..leave your jewel, Aisha!" Tabra struggled to escape, but was powerless.

"Explain" said Aisha, bringing her sinister face closer.

"Gosh?" Tabra gulps.

Akma Jaya bobbing heads. Then he said, "Pacify yourself, we will discuss the matter of the letter not to fight!" Akma Jaya is so strict that she can't tell Aisha apart from just joking around.

"Captain, you're too serious" Aisha said slightly insinuating.

"Aisha—" sergeant Tabra.

"Yes, if so enough jokes, now we discuss about the letter," Akma Jaya quickly cut while showing the letter.

"Captain, can I read it?" Aisha asked permission. Last night, he didn't read it—maybe curious.

"This ...." Akma Jaya handed over the letter.

Aisha read the contents of the text in the letter, then raised her forehead, then frowned, looking strangely murmured.

"Captain, what exactly needs to be discussed? No need, I think we better throw the letter into the sea" said Aisha.

"The two of you are the same, it seems like the decision I took has been wrong in your eyes," replied Akma Jaya slowly.

"Eh?"

"I haven't heard your decision, Captain?" Aisha said so, Tabra tried to hold back a laugh, she finally laughed.

"Haha."

"Tabra, why are you laughing?" ketus Aisha clutching the collar of Tabra's shirt, a grip that is strong enough, Tabra has trouble regularizing breath.

"Huh ...."

"Gosh?" tabra muttered slightly in sweat, gulping saliva.

"That's a baby lizard!" tabra called out to distract.

"Where?"

"That's ...."

"Liar!" Aisha squinted her eyes.

"She said the whale had a baby, the birth of a chicken. Hmmm ... does it exist?" ask Tabra.

"There's." Aisha nodded as she removed the collar of Tabra's clothes that she had originally clutched.

"Where?"

"In the dream" Aisha sat back down to her place.

***

The sound was heard all the way outside the room.

"Eh, did you hear me? That's the sound of Aisha and Tabra making out" said one of the men.

"Yes, I heard it."

"Haha."

"Hehe."

"Cool too, huh?"

"What?"

"Cool it."

"Huh?"

"That's it, you don't understand."

"Basic, you're a freak!"

"Huh, what's so weird?"

"No, there's work. Wash the bow and back deck to keep it clean."

"You too."

"Yes, hurry up ...."

"Regarding the letter, Aisha. Last night, I decided to go to the region, now Tabra is really hesitant and you are the same. It's just a little reflection about what Captain Atlana said, that night, do you remember?" Akma Jaya asked—reminds.

"Is it because of that?" Aisha asked back.

"No, I'm just saying something that's almost the same as my decision!" Akma Jaya replied.

"Yes?"

"Yes, by the time Captain Atlana said the path we had chosen, I was a little contemplating, actually our voyage was in vain, but I think it's better we don't look for trouble again, just long ago, enough, today I decided one thing."

"What decision?" ask Aisha.

"Just like that night, we'll ask Adfain for his opinion." Akma Jaya explained.

Aisha sighed, Tabra from just now was just silent, listening as if.

"Our mistake has been very fatal, we have killed Captain Riyuta, damaged the tower and took the point. Those pirates, they're probably gonna be looking for us in a fit of rage." Akma Jaya again said the sentence, Aisha listened.

"Isn't that good? We'll get more used to the fight, even if it's appropriate for them, there's no more gambling places they'll be able to use." Tabra answered quickly, spirit possible.

"Tabra, you're smart!" Aisha compliments.

"Don't be mushy!" reply Tabra ketus.

"What?"

"No, the salt is salty, I said," replied Tabra.

"Who said sweet?"

"Captain" Tabra said.

Akma Jaya was shocked. The four eyeballs were fixed towards him, "Eeeh." Akma Jaya shook her head with an accompanying hand gesture.

"True, yesterday that night" Tabra reminded. Flashback happened.

In the dining room, by the time they finished eating, only the two of them were left.

"Tabra, do you know why salt tastes salty, does it turn sweet?" Akma Jaya asked.

"Hmmm, maybe get cursed."

"Not."

"Then?"

"Consideration, when Aisha is furious, it immediately tastes salty, when she smiles, it turns sweet."

Tabra could not help remembering it, then repeated the words of Akma Jaya, as soon as Aisha shamed, her misbehavior, even immediately chose to leave in front of them both.

"Haha." Tabra laughed loudly.

Akma Jaya tries to distract, hide her awkward attitude, she quickly checks the cardinal directions with a pencil and a map of the region.

"Maha." Tabra. Hard to hold a laugh, it seems.
