The Black Pirates

CH. 20 – Anmala Village

During the voyage to the village of Anmala, there were no obstacles. Captain Lasha, along with his crew and men, has now arrived at the sea border of the village of Anmala.

Under the blazing sun approaching the evening. The sea water seems to be receding. As the doctor said. The sea is now receding. The ocean looks lower, rocks stretched out in view.

The large ship with the red flag was unable to enter. Size constraints, also water that is in the middle of shrink. “Ba–how is this captain?” ask one of the men.

“What will we do? Our ship can't go there.” Another one of the men added.

Captain Lasha remained silent, staring at the receding expanse of the ocean. He seemed to think, looked up, sighed, looked at all of them, then said, “All of you, wait here. I've decided to swim.”

They were all staring at the look of a serious face, clearly emblazoned. Some shook their heads.

The entire crew and crew members who were on the ship did a grandeur. “Captain, too dangerous, we do not know what is under the sea, also the current can be unstable. You can get carried away drifting.” One of the men voiced out a grandeur.

“Captain, for your safety, think again. It's not as easy as you say, even if the ocean looks receding, it's still a danger.”

“True, Captain.”

“Enough!” Captain Lasha blurting.

They were all silent, gulping. Silent for a moment. “Captain, consider again.” One of the men ventured, breaking the silence.

Captain Lasha didn't frown. He threw himself off the ship, threw himself into the sea and ignored any pomp. The crew and crew members rebuked the process of the captain's fall from the ship. Bubble rippling water. Captain Lasha appeared, rubbing her face and styling her hair that was exposed to water. The sea is slightly receding.

Now the rocks that blocked their ship were under the feet of Captain Lasha and were used as a foothold. The limit of the height of the sea water was as high as the chest, he could still walk across the sea.

He continued walking, the sea was silent without any waves, the wind was blowing a little. Captain Lasha walked on the rocks.

He continued walking, the rocks he used as a foothold reached the end limit, there was no rest, now the deep ocean must be reached. He didn't know how deep it was, just hoping to get through it.

Not far from the distance of view, the village of Anmala is visible, but to get there, Captain Lasha must pass through the sea without rocks. Deep ocean without footing.

The distance to the village of Anmala is quite close. However, crossing the ocean is different from crossing a river.

After much weighing, Captain Lasha decided to keep crossing him, swimming without fear until finally he arrived at the village of Anmala. White sand. On the edge of the beach neatly arranged coconut trees, shady and cool. His leaves were waving to the touch of the wind.

***

Anmala village includes green plains. There are many medicinal plants, Captain Lasha and Captain Makya sailed together in one ship, a good luck they could find an island with a green panorama stretched, and, refreshing eyes and who would have thought there were medicinal plants abundant on the island, as time went on, they both continued to manage the island.

Once, the village of Anmala was an uninhabited island, they were both the first humans to set foot on the island, Captain Lasha suggested to name the island.

So did Captain Makya, the two agreed to name the island with the name Anma'la; between Makya and Lasha.

One day, Captain Lasha hands the entire plain of the island of Anmala into the hands of Captain Makya, after the events of that day, the day that Captain Lasha was stranded on an island. Their group made a headquarters there, namely Muara Ujung Alsa village.

Until now, the island was named Anmala and over time the island was designated as a village because the population was getting crowded, more and more and more crowded islands. Such is the history of Anmala village.

***

After a long time, Captain Lasha lived in the village of Muara Ujung Alsa, now he again set foot on the island of Anmala, a place of the first headquarters, when he became a pirate until he was forty years old.

As for the next, after leaving Anmala, stranded on an island and made it a headquarters. Not long after, he married there with a woman named Haima, they lived peacefully. On an island named Muara Ujung Alsa village.

“This island makes me remember the past, but the scenery I see now looks different from before.” Captain Lasha glanced around. From a distance, it appeared that someone was sitting casually in the shade of a shady coconut, he was staring towards the sea. The sight of a stranger. A very famous old pirate captain was clearly visible.

“Isn't that Captain Lasha?” He nodded while jumping from the beginning. From a distance, the person saw Captain Lasha. he also shouted to his friends, “Hei, it is Captain Lasha, quickly give him a welcome.” The voice was heard to the corner of the place. They all came and were present to welcome Captain Lasha.

Now, the residents of the crowd approached the beach, welcoming the arrival of Captain Lasha with a cheerful face, a warm welcome and a beautiful smile. Some people went to Captain Makya and reported it.

Captain Makya nodded, hurriedly walked over, approaching Captain Lasha, now they were grimacing. Captain Makya smiled as she said, “My best friend, long time no see you. What made you come here?” tanyakanya. Captain Makya glanced around the clothes that were soaking wet, she gave a fleeting guess, the receding water was not a hindrance to a Captain Lasha. He knows his stubborn personality.

Captain Makya offers to change clothes. Strictly speaking, Captain Lasha refused. “Makya. I came here not for clothes, but rather I need a medicinal plant called Iris to cure Akma Jaya.” The residents listen, iris plants are rare plants, not many in number.

Captain Makya was silent for a moment. He stared at all the wet clothes. Tone of speech that turns hoarse. Captain Lasha was kind of overwhelmed with grief, she couldn't bear to look at her best friend.

“Not ...” Captain Makya is powerless to continue speaking out for fear of upsetting Captain Lasha.

Captain Lasha frowned, as if understanding what Captain Makya was thinking.

“Makya, what you heard before, it's all just an issue, it's not true. A healer from the Prosperous Trench continent had examined him. She's fine, I need that medicinal plant.” Captain Lasha explained.

Captain Makya. He only found out about this, when the pirates crowded into the village of Muara Ujung Alsa, he could not join the sail because the sea water was receding. Hearing this news, he smiled happily.

Captain Makya nodded, reciting what Captain Lasha had said. While on the other hand, he looked awkward because he had not met for a long time.

Unlike Captain Lasha, he looked ordinary, even his attitude remained the same as before. “You never change, Lasha.” Captain Makya patted the shoulder. A momentary memory of the past. His attitude and nature are still clearly displayed in both eyes. He tried to eliminate his awkward attitude.

However, Captain Lasha seemed to be silent, the atmosphere back then was quite awkward for Captain Makya. “Makya, the reason I came here, was only to take a medicinal plant named Iris, not something else. Hurry up, you give me that plant.” He's not rambling. All the clothes were still wet, he didn't mind.

Captain Lasha looked seriously. “Makya, you need to know, my son has been exposed to poison and now I need the medicinal plant as soon as possible.” The residents are still listening. On the beach, not a little. Captain Makya told them to disband. They did what Captain Makya said. Lonely moment.

Captain Makya did not want to talk much anymore, if she continued to talk, it would only make Captain Lasha angry. He walked over and said, “Alright, I'll give it to you, come with me!” He looked at me.

Captain Lasha followed Captain Makya from behind. They walk in tandem. “Makya, I have seen it and unexpectedly, this place is now more crowded than when we parted.”

Captain Makya nodded. “True, I did not expect, even now this place has become a village. Lasha, that time passed, something you saw. The next day, something could change. Last time, you left me on one of the islands you found washed up, and then you just stared there. At that time, I was alone taking care of this island, but slowly there were people coming, I accepted them all well until now, their descendants are breeding, and so on, also their relatives came because of those two things, the island became crowded.”

Captain Makya explained at length. Being typical to him, he liked to tell stories, Captain Lasha seemed to nod and did not feel like they had reached the treatment place, a special place for all medicinal herbs managed by Captain Makya.

“My friend, take as you like, how much you need, take.” Captain Makya smiled. All around them, there were many kinds of medicinal plants. Iris is on ten. Captain Lasha frowned at hearing that. It was ten, no need for stale bases, he thought.

Captain Lasha took some leaves of Iris, she took the leaves quite as necessary, not excessive. “My best friend, isn't that too little?” captain Makya asked, staring at the leaf Iris was in the hands of Captain Lasha. Number five, Captain Lasha was about to laugh, 1/5 part. Half of Anmala's treasure floated.

“This is enough to cure Akma Jaya.” Captain Lasha spoke succinctly. He laughed because he remembered his son.

Captain Makya nodded. “Alright, if so. Since you have come to this village, let's have a drink together.” With a crisp face, looking at Captain Lasha who was still wearing wet clothes.

“Makya, I hope you understand. I'm in a hurry, my only desire is one that is to cure Akma Jaya, I came to this village, only for plants, no desire to visit.” Captain Lasha stared with serious glare.

Captain Makya nodded, understanding. “Alright, I understand.”

The iris leaves are put in a bag. Captain Lasha took his leave and left from the village of Anmala. Captain Makya said a sentence, they went back apart. The residents stared in wonder. An old pirate captain had managed to obtain the leaves of Iris. What happened to Captain Makya, why did she hand over the iris leaves so casually, without even being bought, was taken away without leaving a dime of money.

Captain Lasha swam back to the ship full of persistence. Previously, Captain Makya was about to help, but was rejected outright, even Captain Lasha showed a cold demeanor.

Swimming in the sea, fatigue enveloped his body, but he did not give up. When he thought back to his son, a boost of spirit appeared. His hands continued to paddle the body, floating in the seawater, against the current with the movements of the goose.

From a distance, Captain Lasha reaps the attention of the entire crew and his men. Inside the ship bearing a skull with that red flag, they stared worriedly.

After the tired struggle. Captain Lasha made it to the ship. The entire crew stretched the rope lengthwise, the rope forming the ladder.

Captain Lasha climbed up the rope, slowly breathing a sigh in the face. Now, he had boarded the ship, surviving without the slightest injury. The men felt pity staring at Captain Lasha, his body wet, his breathing intermittent.

In the previous moment, as the captain swam in the ocean, they were worried about the safety of the captain, they imagined a shark that could devour him ferociously or the ocean currents that made him drift away.

However, all the worries had disappeared already, they could stare at the captain in a safe state.

Captain Lasha put the leaves of Iris into the chest. Then, exclaiming loudly, “Turn around, we'll go home!” Captain Lasha showed a firm attitude.

They all nodded, obeying the command of the captain, they tried, shoulder to shoulder turning the direction of the bow towards the direction of home. Wind blows, the screen stretches. The ship was cruising gracefully above the bubble-rippling sea level.

Captain Lasha stared at the expanse of the ocean, slightly sighing. Thankful that he had obtained a medicinal plant that would cure Akma Jaya. He walked into the cabin, changed his clothes, then rested peacefully.
