The Black Pirates

CH. 128 – Past Aswa Daula

Captain Zaiya was still waiting for the question that Aswa Daula would question. Waiting for him was like an echoing rhythm, all of it could be seen from Captain Zaiya's leisurely moving legs with focused eyes staring at the waves.

Beuh, longing it feels like that day can come back, at this time the situation feels gloomy. There is little to remember from the happy memories, smiles and laughter that adorned the day. On the beach, in the inner realm Aswa Daula smiled.

A face that remembers a happy past. The white light re-emerged, covering the vision of real nature into the past realm.

At that time on the beach they sat with a calm feeling when they heard the bad luck of the wind like a soothing groove. The ocean holds many charms of memories.

“Aswa Daula, ask!” Captain Zaiya repeated the remark.

Aswa Daula nodded. In his mind weighed the questions that would either be asked or not. He's feeling stuck, afraid of being wrong.

Aswa Daula stared at the scene. “I want to ask how long it will take for me to be as good as you, Captain?”

It turned out that Aswa Daula abandoned her intention to ask about what writing Captain Zaiya had written. Deep in his mind before asking already described. Even weighing it, snuffling and fear of being mistaken.

Moreover, Aswa Daula thought about the note that day Captain Zaiya wrote after fighting Captain Auriza.

Aswa Daula had another possibility in her mind, it could have been personal and it felt impossible to be told the contents to just anyone who did not even have a family relationship.

“Aswa Daula, before that what do you want in this world? Power? People's degree or flattery?” Captain Zaiya asked, shifting the topic.

“Sorry, captain. I was just asking, do I need to answer that too?” Aswa Daula was completely innocent.

He said until now his hands covered his mouth. Captain Zaiya only let out a shrill voice. No hirau, focus on staring at the waves there.

Aswa Daula did not understand such a question. Captain Zaiya is like a man who is underworked. Imagine a young child being asked a vague and confusing question for a seven-year-old, laughing at the person who heard it. It says silliness as stress!

This Captain Zaiya was astonishing, no matter what the question meant. Aswa Daula had originally only asked. He was a captain who had been authoritatively praised by many people, only to ask back about something that was not understood by children of that age. Where's the mindset? On knees?

Captain Zaiya cleared his throat, staring with an understanding mind. “Do not think of me as a dazed person when asked, just ask back. Obviously, the question has an answer. And vice versa. You have to understand before you want to be as good as me. Because behind great abilities will certainly appear authoritative. It could be that you get the power, title or flattery of many people and all that you have to prepare so that in your feelings are not embedded a sense of arrogance.”

“Summarly I do not want to answer the question you gave me, before you answer my question.” Captain Zaiya continued speaking.

Aswa Daula felt astonished herself. The seven-year-old boy did not understand. Even before was limited to asking how long he needed to be as good as the captain. Just that, but this Captain Zaiya was like losing connection. This is a bitch!

“Ta–but, captain. Before I was just asking how long it took me to be as good as you.” Aswa Daula answered bluntly.

A moment of head bobbing. While the Aswa Daula was staring laughing and it could not be held back. Laugh alone, not laugh. But the behavior of Captain Zaiya that looks funny.

Look at his head and his eyes. Moving together, this could not be imagined cuteness. But, it could be seen clearly and it was funny for Aswa Daula.

“Thank God, you can laugh from the beginning your face looks moody looking at me.” Captain Zaiya said it.

Aswa Daula felt strange herself. The figure of the captain who had been afraid of him, even said things that made him feel not understood at all. Is that a change in attitude? Aswa Daula does not know Captain Zaiya very well.

The figure of the red-haired captain and the face covered in black cloth was a mysterious figure, not many people knew his true attitude.

Aswa Daula scratched the cheek. Own awkwardness. “Captain, was previously—”

“Iya, previously I did deliberately do it just want to make you laugh.” Captain Zaiya attacked. Saying things that seem to know everything.

Captain Zaiya is pretentious. Aswa Daula did not understand why the captain's figure was so different. Is it possible that the task of being captain all this time has made him stressed? Captain Zaiya did not stare, focusing towards the ocean.

“Need you know. Aswa Daula, I can't give a joke to make others laugh and can't make sad feelings happy, all this time I can't eliminate the problems that others face. This is likely just a coincidence that can make you laugh.”

“Aswa Daula, if you feel surprised looking at me? All right, between us there's no need for any more talks. Right now I just want to tell you some people I've met sometimes have a negative side to their psyche. When I give one advice without many direct words according. Different I noticed when they were advised by old parents on the edge of the market wall. They do not bother even insulting by calling the level of standing between which is clearly different far.”

“The position in their eyes I noticed turned out to be very influential in terms of talking to others. Though advice is still advice even though spoken by old parents on the edge of the market wall. Their horns sprung up and their brains sank to nothing.”

The white light began to dim. Aswa Daula was sealed off and the shadow of Captain Zaiya slowly disappeared. A moment to open my eyes. Redup and re-emit bright light. Blindfold.

“Aswa Daula, all this time I've met a lot of people who look at me scared like you. Sometimes I am not what they fear, I find a fact about a person like me who rules with authority until rumors spread that are frightening to people. Maybe that's why they're staring scared at me. I often muttered in silence without a sound. No one else knows either. This is the life that is mortal to me. Even others won't know your problem when you hold it alone. Other people just look at your life, without understanding what you have been facing all this time.”

“A moment in which you alone mourn the fate of this life, a choppy ocean and a ship that sinks in silence, without anyone knowing the slightest taste of it. That's how it is for now.”

“Life is not always happy, there are likes and sorrows ...”

NGIIING ....!

The white light has vanished. The figure of captain Zaiya disappeared into the light. Aswa Daula is on the verge of wishful thinking, shutting down alone in a realm out of nowhere.

Asked himself the greatest possibility was he dead? Friends or relatives are not on his side. Captain Zaiya is not. Over where? Is this the realm of one's death?
