The Black Pirates

CH. 32 – Scattered News about the Death of Captain Lasha

In another part of the earth. About a person who had previously gone sailing towards Muara Ujung Alsa village, he was astonished to stare at the state of the island, also staring at its inhabitants lying into carrion.

He kept staring, stepped on the ground for a moment, walked up to look at Captain Lasha's body lying on the sand. He trembled in sweat, rushing away from the village.

The incident occurred at the same time as the Akma Jaya voyage through the ocean in the ocean Albamia. The man went back to where he came from, he trembled. Inside the ship, a sense of raging haunted the mind of his mind.

“Captain Lasha?! Dii–diaaa ..”

The man stuttered to say it, unable to. Yeah, thats. Like a man who was exposed to super sticky glue.

“Diaaa sudaaahhh maatiii!” He screamed loudly. Sounds echoed into the space universe. In the middle of the ocean, a quiet cruise from the waves. He screamed after the sound.

In the market atmosphere, in the city center of the Maura Hiba continent, many people were making money there. With magnificent places, skyscrapers. The city was called Kaidan and was called Auramania. That's where the guy lives. He told me about what he had seen.

From there, the news seemed to whip, sticking out sharply from mouth to mouth. Some of Captain Gaiha's men heard it. They brought the news to Captain Gaiha.

“Captain, while sailing towards the city of Kaidan. There is quite a surprising news.” One of the men came to report the news.

Captain Gaiha looked seriously. “Tell me that.”

“The news says that Captain Lasha has breathed her last. He is rumored to have died because he was killed by one of.” The man spoke politely, not saying the word dead or the word dead. Logically, if the breath stops blowing again—last breath. That meant, it stopped the world spinning in his mind. He had lost consciousness, there was no life on his side.

Captain Gaiha was quite incredulous. “What's the truth you heard?” He asked to make sure. Previously, the news of Akma Jaya's death spread from mouth to mouth, but all it turns out is only sloping news. Wrong issue of the mouth accidentally or they deliberately say so. If more than a hundred people said it would be a prayer they might hope to be answered.

These are the people who during their lives are covered with misleading news. The slanted news. They say bad events without accurate certainty.

“One of the residents of Kaidan city itself. He sailed to the village of Muara Ujung Alsa, witnessed for himself the situation there.”

“What? That's obviously impossible. I think I just met him at that time. He's healthy, dead murdered it feels impossible.” Captain Gaiha really did not believe the news.

“That's how, in fact captain. Even the entire mainland of their island has been destroyed and nothing remains.” The man explained, although he did not know who did it. He only knew the news, before it was confirmed.

Captain Gaiha quite gulped, a sense of worry appeared. “Tabra?! What about Tabra?”

“Who is Tabra? Does the captain know him?”

Captain Gaiha looked up. He's still worried about her. For a moment he sighed, looking at the man who was facing, standing before him.

“It is not important to tell you, tell all the men, tomorrow we will sail to the village of Muara Ujung Alsa.” Captain Gaiha gave a firm order.

The man nodded, and went and told the others the call.

***

Captain Gaiha sat in his place, pondering his memories of being with a boy he admired until he wrote a letter.

With the letter the plan was to send it to the place of Captain Makya as a friend of Captain Lasha.

His hands were clenched, a feeling that was piled with thoughts.

One of the men was called to send the letter. The letter was sent through the message-sending bird. The bird flew screeching on the surface of the horizon.

Arrive in Anmala village. The bird perched on a tree in front of Captain Makya's house. Then, flying at a glance, the letter fell lying under the porch of the house.

At that time, Captain Makya was out of the house. Coinciding with the bird. He took it, read it.

He read the astonishing news, but Captain Makya seemed to not believe all the news, he was also the same as Captain Gaiha.

Captain Makya exclaimed loudly ordering his men to prepare themselves. On tomorrow, they plan to sail to Muara Ujung Alsa village.

Different place again. On the round stage of the earth, one of the men of the thief went to report to his boss. “Bos, only a few days passed, but the news of the death of Captain Lasha and Muara Ujung Alsa village shot from what we expected. The island that turned into a carcass spread rapidly from mouth to mouth.”

The kidnapper's boss laughed. “Good, this is really very good news!” He clapped his hands with a cynical smile.

Some of the pirates who do not know about this, they are sorry and they also plan to go tomorrow to Muara Ujung Alsa village to see firsthand.

“Lasha, I thought you would live longer, even I used to think I was the one who would precede your death.”

“Now, about this news I really did not expect, even your entire village experienced destruction.”

That's what some of the pirates who were saddened to hear the news of Captain Lasha's death. They looked up, staring at the cluster of clouds drifting overcast.

***

The next day, Captain Gaiha glided on a large ship. A lot of ship crews are coming with him, his men are the same. “If the news is true, all of you will bury their bodies.”

In the boat. Captain Gaiha uttered an order call. The crew of the ship, as well as his men nodded.

Captain Gaiha is like a man of conscience. The continuation of his tone revealed that fellow humans, living using reason, side by side association, even speaking.

They are not a class of animals who only know to fight and then die, but humans who know sorrow and happiness. Other forms of feeling are mixed in the heart.

That's Captain Gaiha. Even if his words sound a little strange.

In that part of the earth there, there were rumors of beasts being able to speak and express feelings. The beast lives as a guardian of the territory and so on.

The feeling, as long as the feeling is still felt. Pitying, however, sadness, happiness, resentment or anger. That's all a form of feeling. Likewise with Captain Makya, he ordered all his men, numbering 780 people, to set sail.

They all headed to Muara Ujung Alsa village. He was carrying six ships with 130 people each per ship.

They sailed from their places. Captain Makya from Anmala village and Captain Gaiha from Enla village.

Several other pirates from their respective villages also set off in the morning to head to the same place. The sea ripples waves slowly hit the ship. The day seemed busy.

Souls thirsty for the latest news are leaving. The first person to arrive at Muara Ujung Alsa village was Captain Makya along with the five ships with him.

Captain Makya went down the ship, staring at the true land of the island. The island was ravaged poranda no longer rested.

All around it seemed bodies filled the surroundings, adding to the pity. Captain Makya was stunned staring at the surroundings. “Lasha?! This island ... it turns out the news is true.”

“Kaliaann all. Quickly dig the ground!” Captain Makya exclaims to command his men.

All of Captain Makya's men also dug the ground, shoulder to shoulder burying the residents, while for Captain Lasha should not be done by his men.

The burial of Captain Lasha was carried out by Captain Makya himself. He was the one who buried her, revealing the final sentence of the farewell.

Shortly from the burial process, Captain Gaiha arrived at Muara Ujung Alsa village, he was seen jumping from his ship, rushed to Captain Makya.

The two came close to each other. Captain Gaiha greeted a glance straight to the heart of the matter. “Makya, did you see the body of a boy named Tabra?”

That one question was quite confusing for Captain Makya. How could he possibly know, even he himself did not know her, staring at her face let alone, never.

“I don't recognize him, suffice your question, now I'm busy burying my best friend.” Captain Makya does not want to say much, especially that waste of energy, words that are not useful.

Captain Gaiha stared in wonder. “Makya, didn't you sail here with many men, instead you chose to bury Lasha with your own hands.”

Captain Makya smiled. “I chose to bury him because he is my best friend, it is inappropriate for others to bury him.”

After hearing that Captain Gaiha stopped speaking, he seemed to not want to hear those words. Somehow it felt uncomfortable to hear him.

Time passed, the funeral was over. One of Captain Makya's men came to report.

“Captain, we found the body of Captain Lasha's wife, but we searched from corner to corner, not finding the body of Akma Jaya. He seemed to have left the island at the time of the attack.” His men said reports and allegations.

“Is that? Then bring the body of Captain Lasha's wife here, I understand my best friend loves his wife very much, so I'll bury them side by side. That way, their love will continue to last forever.” Captain Makya said sincerely looking at his men.

The man nodded, leaving to carry out the call. Meanwhile, Captain Gaiha seemed happy to hear that the body of Akma Jaya was not found in any corner, as well as allegations submitted by Captain Makya's men. He was cheering in his heart.

“That means Tabra is alive. Akma Jaya was lying weak, she could not possibly escape. In fact, Tabra once said that Akma Jaya was his best friend, most likely he was taking Akma Jaya somewhere, but I don't know where he is now. May you always be well.” Captain Gaiha spoke in his heart, gazing towards the cloud-clumped horizon.

***

In another part of the earth. The Butariya island. Tabra sneezed repeatedly incessantly. It looks like Akma Jaya is still busy building the skeleton of the house.

Tabra still sounds sneezing. Akma Jaya looked at him. “Tabra, wakeup. Don't lie there. Likely, you inhaled the flower powder that made you sneeze.” He reprimanded. Tabra rubbed his nose, the sticky mucus liquid came out slowly.

Tabra thought for a moment about the words of Akma Jaya, maybe it was true. He looked at her too. “Alright, Akma. Looks like you're right, I think again rather than lying down I'd better help you.” Tabra laughed, quickly approaching her best friend.

Akma Jaya shook her head. “Ah, no need. Just rest, he said tired.”

Tabra is forcing. He did not care about the words of Akma Jaya, this time he said honestly that the previous words were just an excuse not to lift coconut leaves.

Akma Jaya is silent. Leave Tabra who still insists on wanting to help. With the attitude of his best friend who seemed eager to help him. Akma Jaya finally nodded, they also built a skeleton house together.

***

The men, who had been away to carry out their duties, brought Haima's body before Captain Makya.

The man now comes facing. A headless body was stretchered off, the body that was originally slashed with no mercy by a group of assassins.

Captain Makya helplessly stared, gulping. So did Captain Gaiha, they all could not bear to look at him.

Captain Makya did not have much of a voice either. He buried Haima near Captain Lasha's grave, they both are now quiet in nature, side by side lying in a burrow.

“Thank God, Lasha and his wife are now resting quietly and we have made a home for them.”

Captain Makya smiled. Captain Gaiha stared briefly at the grave. Just this time, he stared at the entire island being destroyed and its inhabitants being killed.

When all the burials were completed, another group of pirates arrived, but all the bodies of the people on the island have been buried by the men of the two pirates who first arrived and moored the ship.

Those who arrive late just look at the graves that appear to be scattered throughout the island. The news is not false, but true. The news of Captain Lasha's death.

Now Muara Ujung Alsa village became an empty island filled with graves from corner to corner.they the pirates gave it the name of the island with the name Kubsa.

After they found out, seeing for themselves the truth of the news, they finally returned home in crowds, not taking long to stop, now only Captain Gaiha and Captain Makya have left the island.

They continued to stare, feeling reluctant to return to their original place. While the sun began to show a dim light, the two of them remained on the island.

“Makya, is all this the fate that befell Captain Lasha, even the destiny of the destruction of the island and its inhabitants?” Captain Gaiha said, grinning with a sad look.

Captain Makya shook her head, saying she did not know about it. Destiny or not, it was an event that made him uncomfortable, a feeling of sadness in his heart clumped black like a cloud of cloud cover the universe.

“Lasha and his wife, may they both be quiet in nature there, I'm sorry for what happened to them.” Captain Makya looked up, gazing towards the horizon which showed an evening light looming over. Captain Gaiha was by his side, assuring Captain Makya's prayers.

After praying, Captain Makya shed tears. He couldn't hold it. With all the memories unfolded, and whatever they had gone through together as friends, wading through the ocean together.

“Makya, do not you grieve over the events you are looking at, they are already happy in nature.” Captain Gaiha stroked Captain Makya's back, and he felt the same way.

“There is a bigger one, Makya. Feelings are created from the recesses of a hidden room. The truth is you live that way. Death is bound to happen, there is no one who does not meet him.” Captain Gaiha further said the essence of life.

Where everyone will feel death, whoever he is, regardless of old or young, children or unborn or newborn babies and so on and so forth.

After that Captain Gaiha said goodbye to Captain Makya. He already knew the true events from the news he had originally heard were true. It was already evening approaching night. He had other needs, in addition he went to give time to Captain Makya to keep quiet and calm his feelings and soul.

Now on the island, there is only Captain Makya and some of his men who remain in the ship, some of them accompany, are on the side of Captain Makya.

One of the men approached him. “Captain, it looks like the sea water is starting to show a retrograde movement, we better hurry towards home.”

Captain Makya knows, but she feels she can't leave her best friend. That feeling is contrary to the facts. If the sea receded, they could not enter their village. It was Captain Makya's choice.

“Good. Then, we'll go home.” He decided to go back to their village.

Before he sailed away from Muara Ujung Alsa village, Captain Makya put down a necklace that had been a symbol of friendship between the two of them. The necklace was placed on the grave of Captain Lasha.

The day has changed night. One by one they boarded the ship. The anchor, which had been tethered to the sand, was now lifted.

The sails were stretched, their ship was cruising touched by the wind. The ripples of the waves are seen in the dimness of the night.

Inside the ship, Captain Makya was still firmly staring towards the island, leaving a rumble of wind, as well as the waves hitting the ship.

Lasha. You are already gone

Go to nature far from the world

My greetings to you happy

You and your wife can relax there

You're an old friend

Then the time comes

I will also go to nature there

Captain Makya

In different places, there is a hot day. In the hemisphere, the weather and atmosphere are different. The Butariya island. Even at midnight.

Akma Jaya and others have finished building enough houses for a moment of sleep. Some cooking utensils, also a special kitchen where food. A simple house holds coconut leaves woven through hand skills.

“Hei, Tabraaa. If you want, you can sleep in my place. This place is pretty big!” Akma Jaya exclaimed, waving towards Tabra who was outside.

“I'll sleep in the boat, it looks like my house will be tomorrow. I don't want to sleep in your house.” He shouted back loudly.

Akma Jaya again exclaimed, asking why she did not want to sleep in her house. The words were confusing as well as a little strange.

“It's okay, Akma. I just want to sleep on the boat. You know, all this time I've never slept on a ship.” Tabra said loudly. From a distance they were shouting at each other. Altha listened, the others were the same, even astonished not to understand what was really going on.

Didn't he sleep on the boat, it was too predictable. Tabra is not good at finding excuses.

However, Akma Jaya understands, it may be that during the sail the atmosphere is different from the ship perched on the beach, sleeping in it may be the same as sleeping at home.

That was the glimpse of his self. “Alright, if you don't want to. I won't force you.” Akma Jaya exclaims, “Remember, do not worry!” She laughs.

Tabra laughed back, moving towards the ship. He also slept on the ship with some of the crew.

Meanwhile, Aisha sleeps in her house which is also finished in waking up. So did Altha who slept in her house.

Of these, only Tabra and some of the crew did not have a home because the construction of their house was not finished. Maybe tomorrow we will continue the construction.

They did not blame it too much, even they had been shoulder to shoulder in building, but the result only got three house buildings.

Tiring enough until midnight, they rested sleeping in a place of their own choosing.
