The Black Pirates

CH. 142 – Don't Manage Other People's Lives. But, Concern is There

The verse had finished being chanted by him in a blaring voice.

“How have you heard my beautiful voice? Are you interested in hearing it again, I will gladly chant it any time you want.”

Tabra was quite happy and confident looking at all of them. After the chants made dramatic by him. A calm wave among the glitter of the sun.

He did not know there was one person whose light was like yellow there was a white-white spot in the middle. Someone who doesn't like the sound. Who else if not Boba. He was the one who in number one disliked Tabra's voice.

Boba snorted annoyed at once hearing the speech, then said. “Your voice is not beautiful, Tabra. Even when you heard it you knew I wanted to puke!”

He did not like to hear someone proud like that, especially in front of him and for him about that you know the same as the nature of show off that he really hates.

The past of the day had depicted a staunch imagination in his mind, how he had raised the war flag against such show-off nature. Kalpra then gulped to get rid of the word show off in him.

Boba is different from all of them. He never showed off during his life, even Kalpra was affected by the impact of his advice that day as suddenly as Boba did not like to show off, but somehow Boba's attitude is the same as showing off. That's something that he was not aware of, just busy all this time staring and judging others as he pleased, not with himself. The huge mirror could not mirror itself. The eye also could not see into the recesses there like the sky covered with black clouds that rose on the surface of the Earth's sky, cloudy and dark conditions there. Heavy rain fell with lightning.

The view becomes blurry. Hallucinations are erratic and end all wishful thinking into flying dust grains, meaningless and can no longer be seen form. The wound is deep, man. Those tears in the past please please be very much begged not to be shed, smile.

In one of the markets in the past queue. Showing off was becoming a despicable trait for him. How despicable. Look at the rich, the rich and the poor merchants like Boba who have nothing to show off like them. Showing off was a start she disliked with possessions and the sheen of clothes that fed her up, which infuriated her. What is the meaning of all that? When the body is buried into a burrow. For a Boba who does not like it even in his heart curses and does not like the nature of the show off.

When Boba called the voice of Tabra is not beautiful. It was deep in his heart, in a murmur that no one heard. In his mind and heart already spoke, even chiding contempt and cursing at the nature of showing off. How for him someone does not need to show off the greatness that is in him. Showing off to be adored just like that for what? To him is nothing but nonsense with a mask of falsehood and lies.

You show-off guy! Who is he, who is certainly not a poet, just someone who is pretentious. His voice was just not good, obviously he was not a poet and made my ears almost hurt from hearing his voice— Boba muttered in a heart that no one could hear, after that mention the word show off.

He called Tabra a show-off plus a handyman?—Tukang? What do you mean show off? Especially handyman? Sometimes that's the strangeness of the world, there are just oddities like thinking durian is jackfruit. Why can someone think someone else is showing off, when it could be that person is not showing off, just chanting. Prejudice in his heart is sometimes misleading.

Even mahaguru spoke to Boba at the market meeting. “Boba, speak more politely and keep your prejudices against others. What you think is like this and so, is not necessarily all true. Before saying don't say it straight away, but think about it first. This is the most important thing is to maintain purity of heart, ethics and keep your mouth from lying, from various things such as gossiping in a position with your friend because the first two things are prejudice. So, you must learn to manage your heart and mind so that it is always clean from the evil nature of thought that will give birth to various slanders, chaos, lies and can bring disaster, bringing division between the people and the kingdom. Bring hostility between you and your friends. That's my message to you.”

Boba knows the show-off lies in the heart. Who can know someone's heart? Is someone showing off or not? Wh who? Who knows? Kalpra also knows this and knows that no one can know a person's heart, unless that person has an excess of senses such as the inner eye.

That's what Boba said that day to Kalpra who was also the Boba after calling him to show off. Kalpra still vividly remembered the events of the past, regarding Kalpra showing off or not she clearly knew in her heart, what she intended and what she was about to start. Boba is accusing.

All of that is just a glimpse of the conjecture and prejudice that calls it so. You show-off guy! That's how Boba furiously clenched his hands to punch Tabra's face that irritated.

Boba could not know a person's heart, but he knew from all that there were characteristics that could be known by him. And that characteristic for him is seen from the figure of Tabra who was proud and like being showing off a voice in front of him.

I don't know why Boba can feel the atmosphere of Tabra exhibition. He's some kind of smart guy who's acting kind of smart in reading other people's minds.

Tabra also tried to understand about Boba who said his voice was not beautiful. He understands it enough.

“I can understand what you're saying, Boba. You often call me show-off.”

“Is that true?” Tabra asked.

It was as if he had been hit by an electric shock with a bright light in the area. Boba snatched with lightning. “Indeed that's the reality you should know! You are proud of yourself and like to show off something in front of us, that is your bad nature!” Boba said loudly. Gazing fiercely wanted to say more, but how calm he tried to prevent his mouth from being carried away by the emotions he was feeling.

A deterrent among them is Ashraq. Tell calm yourself and give advice that there is no advantage for someone to call someone else by showing off or saying someone else is showing off. Indeed, if someone really has done show off, are you as the person who calls it showing off to get a loss or profit from it? Then the best way he said leave all that between the man and his despicable nature. Then he said that in essence leave the debate.

“Despite Tabra's issue showing off or not. All of that is useless. We never know someone's heart. Boba, calm yourself don't have to argue much anymore. Showing off for himself is still a despicable trait, even though hundreds of opinions he has put to you to refute and tell you that he is not showing off. Actually, show off still show off whatever reason he put forward!” Ashraq explained at length, being the mediator between them.

They all just listen. Focused views towards Boba, Tabra and Ashraq there. Boba once again clenched his hands, then sighed.

Slowly release his hand. Amongst the people no one spoke a response.

Like a tweet that breaks tension. The voice sounded, “True what Ashraq.” said Aswa Daula said at the end. The others turned, simultaneously focusing the view.

The others also muttered. Some of them said, “Ohoi. That's right, why fight just because of such a trivial matter. Argue according to the capacity of the brain and do not get angry if you do not have the material to fight.” One of them spoke.

Someone else answered. “We don't need to beg for love if it's just this, we don't need to fight, just because we lost the debate or worse still dive in the water, without a buoy.”

Boba can accept everything just as a tranquilizer. Others patted Boba's shoulder and said many things. Tabra could breathe a sigh of relief after the voice cheered.

“This looks like it will be a long-winded thing!” Aisha muttered furiously.

“And one more thing, Boba. Don't take care of other people's lives like yours it's better than her.” This time Hambala filed a pretentious voice. Instantly, the atmosphere was back to heat up.

Even his mouth was gagged Boba. And he wants to be stabbed. “Shut up! You want to light a fire? I don't intend to take care of other people's lives, whether with me calling Tabra a show-off you conclude that I take care of others' lives, not at all! You should know that's where caring lies! When you say take care of other people's lives, look there...! THERE lies a concern like your mother who took care of you when you were small to big, like your father who earned a living and took care of you from small to big, like your father, you know what it is about taking care of other people's lives. YOU'RE JUST A SAILOR who's never enjoyed the mainland. YOU SAILORS who don't know what it is to take care of other people's lives!” Boba sharpened his gaze to Hambala's face.

For Hambala it was like a concern that he could not understand, he was indeed a sailor who almost never enjoyed the land. He prefers to sit on his boat, sleep and eat there and is also reluctant to go down to the mainland. It is up to Boba that he does not want to interfere anymore, so now his heart speaks resignedly. He made peace by apologizing.

Tabra lowered herself from the box she had previously stood in, aligning her position with theirs. There was a sense of guilt in his mind. But, how weird is it that he didn't. I don't know what he wants.

“Boba, you've heard Hambala's words, haven't you? Don't take care of other people's lives just because I show off, you don't have to take care of others' lives.” Tabra answered with a fixed face.

Boba prevented the word as quickly as possible, his response was like lightning blaring in the sky. “Ourrance? You said I was taking care of your life. You're a big mistake! You need to know I'm not taking care of anyone else's life, let alone yours. I prefer to insult. More precisely I am insulting your life while building a palace within myself, forming a description that you will not be able to understand. One thing you need to know, I don't like people showing off! One more thing you should know about taking care of other people's lives, you should know that's how people care about you. They advise because they care, they say it because they care. You said don't take care of other people's lives. However, you need to know someone's concern lies there!”

“Thank God by your side you find someone who wants to talk about your bad. Not even you approach and say such words!” Boba said it long.

The advice is sometimes like hot coals boiling the head, sometimes like a cure. Sometimes like stale porridge eaten about to vomit. Depends on how to deliver it. For Tabra, this figure of Boba wants to be a speaker but the way is a little wrong.

However, like anything sometimes a piece of advice is felt. The most important thing is how to respond to yourself and accept it in any form that is certainly changed from the beginning sometimes the word is rude to a little soft, easy to accept for yourself. Long contemplation is sometimes required of a sailor gazing at the stars in the middle of the night. Accompanied by the waves.

Tabra quotes a few of those words. A wise sailor says a piece of advice is still advice even if it is delivered in the wrong way, even if it is still advice, even if it is delivered in a tinge of anger.

He could accept all of that as a sweetening word before the speech he was about to say. Either he cast it out afterwards or kept it as a precious memory during his lifetime, stored between the memories of himself and the group, even stored those memories between the ocean and the ocean. It was anchored on top of that sailing ship that was speeding in the wind.
