The Black Pirates

CH. 29 – Sailing Atmosphere

The wind was blowing harder than usual. The swish and pounding waves sounded. Tabra and Akma Jaya are seen talking to each other, sitting down, and playing with Takma who is busy chirping.

At length, Tabra explained to Akma Jaya about everything that had happened. Akma Jaya seemed to listen to what Tabra had said.

From a distance the healer called out to the two of them. “Hey, Tabraaa ... Akmaaa!” The healer exclaimed as if he was at the bow of the ship, staring at the expanse of the ocean. Looks like he has finished reading his book of medicines.

The two of them walked leisurely, approaching the healer. Smilingly. Now, they were close together, staring.

“Look at the wide expanse of cargo there, you guys ever sail?” The healer pointed at the ocean looking expanse of blue sea fused with the blue sky.

They both never sailed. This was the first time they had ever done a cruise. The atmosphere was peaceful, silent with the wind blowing, touching the sidelines of clothes and hair moving cool head.

Akma Jaya slowly inhaled, exhaling slowly. So was Tabra, while Aisha was resting on the advice given by Akma Jaya before her. The physician and two children stared at the expanse of the ocean, staring unmoved.

“Tabra, do you feel it?” Akma Jaya asked looking at Tabra.

“Iya, Akma. The atmosphere is so peaceful and serene, this is the ocean .. this is my first experience sailing.”

“True, Tabra. I feel so too.”

The two of them enjoyed each other's gusts of wind, as well as the sea's azure light that was plastered captivatingly. The healers are the same as them.

The white bird seemed to fly freely in the air, sometimes he perched on a sail pole. Tabra with a happy face ran all around, chasing the bird that perched on the deck. “Akma, come with me.” Tabra exclaimed, Akma Jaya followed him, and they ran here and there, leaving the healer who seemed to pay attention with a smile.

At that time, Tabra made his run faster leaving Akma Jaya, now he was in front of—laughing loudly.

“Akma, try you chase me!” Tabra exclaimed, running fast. The steps filled the ship. She laughs.

Akma Jaya heard it, feeling challenged. He's running his legs. “Baiklah ... Tabra, I'll come after you!” Akma Jaya yelled tightening steps.

With a quick count of Akma Jaya following, they tried to slip into each other. “Hey, Akma it's no bird!” Tabra exclaims—pointing back, distracting. He was getting faster running, down the rounds he had determined.

Akma Jaya turned to the direction that Tabra had pointed to, he looked up, looking at the designated place.

“Mana? No buru—” Akma Jaya said cut off, staring at Tabra who was far away leaving him.

From a distance Tabra laughed with her mouth wide open. “Akma, you've been fooled!” Tabra yells giving a tongue stick. Gosh gosh? Akma Jaya clenched in annoyance, then ran after Tabra while shouting, “Tabra, watch out for you ..”.

“Come, chase until you can catch me!” Tabra. Shouting loudly stick out the tongue. The physician shook his head, staring at the behavior of the two of them.

Their voyage had entered the ocean region of Albamia. The expanse of empty ocean that stretches wide, there is no visible island or sailing ship, the atmosphere is silent. There was only laughter and their footsteps. Now, Akma Jaya stopped running.

“Akma, why don't you come after me again!” Tabra exclaimed dislike.

“Tabraaa .. I'm tired of chasing you,” replied Akma Jaya taking a short break, with the clouds. He sighed.

Tabra ran over to Akma Jaya. He also looked exhausted, and they rested for a moment.

The dervish healer watched, looking at the two of them who now looked exhausted. He poured water into the glass, gave it to him. “This drink is for both of you.”

They thanked me, took a drink. Tabra drank it quickly, she spent quite a gulp. “Tabra, you drank too fast from me!” Akma Jaya has a sharp voice with a flat face.

“Yes, forgive .. I am so thirsty, running around with you almost makes me faint,” Tabra replied fanning her face, sweat sweat splattered. With a look of tired face.

The doctor laughed at their conversation. “There-There's just the two of you here.”

Tabra raised an eyebrow. “Tabib, you just found out. We have been friends for a long time, have been used to jokes like this.” He embraced Akma Jaya's shoulders, the two of them smiling happily at each other.

Running away? Joke. The doctor laughed, simple jokes the two of them, no need for anything else, fatigue may be a pleasure in itself for them.

“Oh, yes ... great, somehow when I see your friendship this kind of reminds me a little of one of my friends.” The physician turned his face to the sky. He remembers clearly, his best friend.

The togetherness is clearly emblazoned, simple laughter with old stories springing back. “Ah, really? Then try you to tell stories, Akma and I really like to listen to stories,” said Tabra with his trademark, beaming for something.

From what Tabra said, the healer likes to tell stories as if the three of them have a match for each other.

The physician nodded. “Alright .. I will tell you this. In addition, I also include people who like to tell stories.”

Tabra elbowed Akma Jaya's arm. Listen to what he said, Tabra whispered a little faintly. The physician clearly heard him, his hearing was still strong, but he chose to ignore him. It's a habit, maybe he's using it.

“Yes. Come on, hurry up and tell!” Tabra exclaimed in pleasure. Face smiles. Akma Jaya silently listened.

Tabra. “I can't yet, don't know Akma Jaya. How about you, can you learn a lesson?” He immediately looked at Akma Jaya, throwing a question.

Akma Jaya also shook her head. “I'm the same as you,” the answer is short.

Physician. “Alright, I will tell you this, will also explain the passage of wisdom contained in it. Check it out and listen to it.”

“Then, I had a friend, just like you guys. We are always together, he is my best friend named Ardama, I—”

Not yet had the healer continue the story, Tabra cut the story. “Speaking about name, we don't know your name yet?”

Akma Jaya patted the jidat. At first glance agree with the words of Tabra, but reluctant to speak—just silent listening.

“Ah, yes. I haven't said it yet. Well ... Since you ask, then I will answer. My name is Altha.” The physician introduces the name.

Akma Jaya and Tabra seemed to nod at the name.

“Well, I've already told you. Can I continue the story now?” Altha looked towards the two of them. Smilingly. Akma Jaya just nodded.

“Yes, continue your story. Sorry I cut your story,” Tabra said feeling guilty.

“Not why,” replied Altha smiling. He also continued his story.

“My best friend and I are two healers who love to study, research more medicine. Various regions and places we have explored more deeply, introducing names to people.”

“Only that day, in a third of the night. We both sailed the ocean to a region where he said there was a treasure chest. According to the news, there were many pirates who tried to get it, but they disappeared somewhere. There the mystical region and the chills that clearly feel piercing the skin.”

“The news is terrifying. Many of them had abandoned their intention to go there. We both feel challenged ourselves to leave without fear.”

“As long as it sails towards the region, we spend quite a long time. Days, months that we finally arrived in the region.”

“Luckily during the cruise, my best friend and I did not meet with the storm. The ship that loaded us is not like this ship, its size is smaller than it looks.”

“You know, the first intention is explained in our sanitary ware, which is to build a health room, build a medical school in our home area.”

“With the treasure my hopes and my best friend are bright, even if it is just a piece, it is also worth a lot. With that, we are able to build a place of health more freely.”

“As news circulating, no seeming oddity. Why is the news a lie in our view. On board, my best friend gave advice, conveying to bring garlic in a pouch and clasped in hand.”

“We traveled through the region, without a map only at a glance to hear the news and know exactly the whereabouts of the region.”

“In the middle of the day, we entered the cave. Obviously, there seems to be no weirdness, whether all the news is a lie, maybe.”

“Highs rang out, black smoke surrounded us, and there was a ghost that people were talking about all along. We both gulped, but still dare to fight.”

“My best friend showed me garlic. Unexpectedly, the ghost escaped and left a charming treasure chest with golden patterns all around. My best friend cheered happily.”

“We both found a treasure that has not been obtained by pirates, as well as other frightening news. On that uninhabited island, my best friend cheered loudly. His heart seemed happy, but did not expect him to disbelieve. I am blinded by the treasure. At that time, when he returned from the cruise his attitude changed until he arrived in our home region. He does not want to divide, does not even want to build health facilities.”

“She has been overcome by greed, not looking at me as her best friend, she took the treasure, went far away leaving me and is out of nowhere now she is."

***

“That's the short story, the quote of wisdom, also the lesson I previously talked about was about greed. You should know, greed is the beginning of destruction. By staying away from it, your friendship will remain tightly intertwined.” Altha explained.

Akma Jaya. Tabra is understood. “Alright, neither of us will be, right, Akma?” tanya Tabra was embracing her best friend's shoulder.

“Iya .. true once.” Akma Jaya answered enthusiastically, happily and with a warm smile.

The three of them looked at each other smiling. Shortly after telling the story, Altha permission parting wanted to rest—he said he wanted to take a nap. “My eyes are sleepy, so I want to rest,” Altha told them.

They both nodded. Altha went away, into the cabin. Altha's departure from them made the atmosphere in the surrounding again turn silent, but soon Tabra broke the silence. He patted his best friend's shoulder. “Akma, let's train together!” Tabra gives Akma Jaya the stick. A little more smiling.

They also practiced. With a happy expression, the two felt an atmosphere so different from when they were on the mainland.

Now, the atmosphere of the sea was so calm, the wind was blowing softly, no waves were hitting the ship, as it looked like the atmosphere looked friendly to them.

Meanwhile, Aisha wakes up from the beginning to rest. He seemed to go to the kitchen, then clean up the place, as well as the containers until they finished cleaning everything.

He went out of the kitchen room, then looked at the beauty of the ocean surrounded by blue light, the air felt cool, above there the screen sounded touched by the wind. Their ship continued to advance towards the continent of the Prosperous Trench.
