The Black Pirates

CH. 23 – Antidote

Captain Lasha ran gopoh towards the healer's place. Arriving at the door, he banged hard, without any responsibility. Unsatisfied, he stepped on it. That door bounced.

The healer looked at elus chest. Tabra slightly turned his head, the arrival of another Captain Lasha on the usual. At that moment, they both laughed. Gazing at the arrival of Captain Lasha, they stopped the laughter.

In the surroundings, Tabra felt a chill, she gulped. However, the attitude of Captain Lasha sangar, only applies to his enemy.

Captain Lasha heard their laughter. He cringed. “Why are you two laughing? Is there something funny?” He let out a serious tone, no smile.

“Ka—we were both joking,” replied Tabra, smiling awkwardly.

The physician patted Tabra on the shoulder, looking at Captain Lasha. “Captain, the reason we laugh is because we are happy, we have succeeded in concocting an antidote that can cure Akma Jaya.” The healer stared seriously, no expression of fear explained.

“How can? Didn't you say, the Iris plant is a medicine that can cure Akma Jaya, with what do you concoct the antidote?” Captain Lasha looked in disbelief.

“That's because we've caught the culprit behind all this. Kidnapper boss, he was the culprit, we got the antidote from him, I researched further until the research was successful. We need to thank Tabra who beat him up.” The doctor explained what had happened. Tabra scratched his head, awkward.

Hearing the physician's explanation, Captain Lasha peaked in anger, furious, she hit the wall, hit hard. Tabra was trembling, pale.

“So, this is all the work of the kidnapper's boss!" Captain Lasha spoke out loudly.

The punch of the wall plus the words that sounded blaring, making Tabra's face more paled, sweaty, he moved away, conveying the reason to want to urinate.

The doctor was nervous, gulped, then looked down in reverence. “Please, Captain Lasha, do not be angry, we better develop the antidote because this antidote is not perfect, the poison that resides in the body of Akma Jaya is a mixture of mixed types of poison, I need Iris leaves to perfect this antidote.” The physician still lowered his head.

Kaptan Lasha listened, listened well, she began to try to calm the anger, took a long breath and kept quiet for a moment.

“Bless your head!” Captain Lasha called out softly.

The physician raised his head, showing a respectful attitude. “Ka–kapten, we need Iris leaves to perfect this antidote.” He repeated the words, after the head was lifted. Captain Lasha looked dreamy, she did not listen to the remark.

Captain Lasha was trying to calm the anger, but to him it was heavy. Captain Lasha thought, this is so outrageous, how could they possibly live a quiet life. Meanwhile, Akma Jaya was lying weak.

“Ka—capten!” Physician exclaims. Captain Lasha snapped at the daydream. “What's up?” Captain Lasha stared as she rubbed her face.

“I need Iris leaves to perfect the antidote.” The doctor explained briefly.

Not lingering, Captain Lasha let out, giving off the leaves of Iris. The doctor took it, then walked into the research room. Captain Lasha is waiting. Inside the room, the healer again concocted, also refining the antidote.

Captain Lasha pacing. He bit a finger. Not quiet. His worries as a father looked at his son and wife, how cold, now hot, attitude had become. A lion turned into a hungry cat.

Time passed, the healer finished concocting the antidote. He is quite an expert in his field.

“This antidote medicine has been perfect, we will inject it into the body of Akma Jaya.” The doctor smiled happily.

Captain Lasha let out a voice, patting the healer on the shoulder. “Come, hurry! Haima must be happy to hear it.” Captain Lasha seemed to change her originally cold personality to be friendly.

The physician nodded. They spurred a step, came to the place of Akma Jaya. Arriving on the spot, Haima was seen from a distance still hugging Akma Jaya, looking teary-eyed.

From a distance, Captain Lasha looked at the wife in tears, slowly approaching, approaching affectionately, she touched the shoulder, stroking gently. “Haima, I have found an antidote for Akma Jaya.” Captain Lasha made a hoarse sound, different from usual. Haima turned her head, looking at Captain Lasha with a gaze that hinted at happiness.

Haima stood up, tightly hugging Captain Lasha, the couple's husband—wife looked at each other.

“Accept Kasiih,” lirih Haima, tears stop flowing. He seska slowly.

“Can we get started now?” The doctor asked, The beautiful moment unfolding is solved. He asked for permission to inject Akma Jaya because time is precious, not worth wasting, let alone see them like that—jomblo.

After getting permission, the healer asked Captain Lasha and Haima to leave the room and wait for the process, the couple nodded.

In the neatly arranged room, the healer began the process of injecting the antidote into the body of Akma Jaya. A few minutes passed, the healer came out, smilingly staring at Captain Lasha and Haima.

“Blessed. Today, the antidote has been injected, he will wake up within three days, we just need to wait and Akma Jaya has been declared cured of the poison.” The doctor came face to face with them.

Captain Lasha patted the healer on the shoulder, showing her excitement, Haima was the same, their happiness was clearly emanated. Haima wiped away the happy tears, she rushed towards where Akma Jaya was, watching in person. In the neatly arranged room, she holds Akma Jaya, a mother who loves her child.

“Akma, thank goodness,” watered Haima kissed Akma Jaya's forehead. Captain Lasha and the healer looked over from behind the door of the room, then left, left behind Haima alone who was still holding Akma Jaya, smiling her face full of happiness.

Just now, Captain Lasha saw the beauty of Haima's smile, she was overjoyed, repeatedly embracing the healer's shoulder.

“I thank you because you managed to return Haima.” smile Captain Lasha was too happy.

Captain Lasha has been known to people, being cold. In that instant, he changed drastically, people stared in wonder, asking and muttering their fellows.

“Captain Lasha, enough fun. Look, everyone's staring at you and watching you.” Physician whispering. They walk in the streets of many.

“Leave it alone, my joy is pure, no one can ban it, even if he fights me and I die because of it.” Captain Lasha looked seriously.

The physician gulps, sweats, but tries to deal with it calmly. “Captain, Akma Jaya has been declared cured, can I go back to where I came from?” He asked permission.

“You will remain here until Akma Jaya opens its eyes and moves all its members.” Captain Lasha replied firmly, pompously and showed a serious look.

Hearing Captain Lasha's grandeur, the healer could only nod his head. “Alright, I'll stay here.”

Soon after, the two of them separated. Captain Lasha had other business, she could not leave, while the healer, she wanted to rest.

The healer returned to the place that Captain Lasha had provided, a simple house, in the form of a roof funnel, walls made of wood.

Nightfall.

From the ocean of Albamia, the blowing of the night wind was accompanied by a dense fog. In one of Farida's seas, the mist traveled in the wind up to the Maura Hiba continent.

Beside the fog, there was a gripping, soul-piercing chill, the wind as if it was carrying news of the ferocious pirate movements, a group called the Mafia Class Kakap.

The fog was blown by the wind up to Muara Ujung Alsa village, the entire village was covered in dense fog, the night was very cold.

Captain Lasha grunts. “This day, no more wrong! This is the movement of the group of Mafia pirates Class Kakap.” Captain Lasha looked around, herself filled with a deep sense of worry. A hunch arose, that night a bright round moon on the surface of the horizon.

Malignant group. It is said that their movements were marked by dense fog, accompanied by a gripping cold, they brought destruction wherever they stopped.

Outside the house. Captain Lasha looked up, looking up at the sky, it appeared that the full moon was shining brightly covered in fog that seemed to break apart the light, making it look faint, indistinctly viewed.

Captain Lasha is agitated. That night, he had a hunch that the group of pirates who had been famous for their ferocity had shown movement, inexplicably he had a hunch that the group would come to Muara Ujung Alsa village. A feeling that cannot calm down.

Inside the room, Captain Lasha tried to sleep, but he was unable to close his eyes, back and forth erratically.

An old pirate captain got up from his bed and called all the men together. That night, the pace rang out in a row, a boisterous voice accompanied, making the entire population wake up.

There is what is, why and what exactly is the captain calling all the men. Alba also rushed to jump from the mattress. Tabra rubbed her lethargic face, still wanting to sleep, but the boisterous voice made her eager to find out.
