The Black Pirates

CH. 34 – Cruise Altha to Taiya City

Now the sun has shone on the day with a dim light in the eastern horizon, when the morning welcomes itself.

Some are still not awake, that morning Akma Jaya has been running around on the beach training her leg muscles.

Kraken was no longer there, the possibility of rumors is true that he has returned to where he came from. Sure enough, the island of Butariya is where he sleeps.

As always. The morning weather is cool, accompanied by the pounding waves slowly touching the sand, the wind is cool. Akma Jaya kept moving her legs, ran there to here, she kept turning back and forth, pausing to regulate breathing.

Tabra was still asleep, even to the point of eating octopus satay, dreaming with a real feeling of fullness.

Before long, he woke up from his dream. The dream that had been experienced, eating octopus satay that over time satay octopus instead turned into a Kraken figure that looked so terrible. “Aaahh!! Please!” He screamed loudly until he heard Akma Jaya.

?!!

Akma Jaya also spurred a quick step, coming to Tabra's place. He's still running, still training his leg muscles. With regular movement towards home.

He opened the door. “Tabraaa ... What's up?” Akma Jaya exclaimed as she approached her best friend on the bed.

Akma Jaya patted her best friend's cheek. Tabra looked at the laughter. “Nothing, Akma. I was just surprised to see the figure of kraken in my strange dream.” he replied with an awkward face, scratching his head.

Akma Jaya smiled, nodding. “Oh, I see, In that case, I will continue my training.” Akma Jaya continued running towards the beach.

Meanwhile, Tabra still remembered the Kraken figure in his terrifying-looking dream. In addition, Altha had just woken up, she yawned widely, sighed, then left the house. He saw Akma Jaya who was awake, running around on the beach.

Not long after, Akma Jaya stopped running, approaching Altha.

Altha greeted me. “Akma, how long have you been running around like that?”

Akma Jaya just sat down. Altha questioned it casually.

“No need to ask me that. Running in the morning is my habit since long ago.” Akma Jaya explained.

Altha stroked her white beard. “Oh, so? I'm glad to hear that. It seems like what I know running in the morning is nourishing the body. From here I know enough that you're a diligent boy.”

“Nby the way. In accordance with what I told you last night. Today, I will sail to Taiya city to find the person who will train you.” Altha continued her talk.

Akma Jaya smiled. “Altha, you always remember the danger, is the cruise to Taiya city safe from pirates?”

“Just relax, the cruise to Taiya city is quite safe. The area was an area that looked poor, but it was only visible. In that area many residents pretend to be poor so that the pirates do not enter their sea territory. There was one person I knew. He is good at playing with swords. He is one of the most respected by pirates.” Altha explained at length.

Akma Jaya mangut-mangut, listening. “What's his name, do you know?”

“She was named Qaisha, me and she had met when she was injured and I was the one who treated her wound.”

Never thought, at the time of their conversation Tabra eavesdropped behind the house, nodding. He eavesdropped a lot.

Previously, when Akma Jaya approached Altha. He wondered what they would talk about. Be, the action goes, take the initiative eavesdropping.

“Good. Altha, I wish he could train the three of us.” Akma Jaya. Tabra still eavesdropped enough to know.

“Sure. He will be able to train you. I'll try to persuade him that he can train the three of you.”

The two of them continued to talk. In other circumstances, Aisha is busy preparing food. He cooked up a supply of ingredients. The stomach needs to eat.

“Alright, I trust you Altha.” Akma Jaya patted Altha on the shoulder.

Tabra seemed tired of hiding eavesdropping, she also revealed herself.

“So you two were busy talking. Akma, hurry! Help Aisha, she cooks alone, do you know that?” He scatters more, sharper his words.

Akma Jaya quite nodded, understood. “Alright, Tabraaa .. come on, you helped him too.” They both look at each other. Altha kept silent on what they were going to talk about.

“You alone, Akma. I'll see you help him.” Tabra didn't want to budge, apparently he just told or something. Deploring.

Akma Jaya knows the behavior of Tabra which has always been so. “Eh, me? You didn't help her?”

“Hah, what exercises? You're making things up. I can't believe what you said.”

“Ya, stop. If you don't believe. I'll help you to believe in me. Just look, cooking practice is more exciting than sword practice.” Tabra.

“Well, that's the new Tabraa I know. Tabra who has always been loyal friends.” Akma Jaya grabs her best friend's shoulder, dragging her to Aisha's place.

Altha smiled at the behavior, even though she was confused, but saw the behavior of the two of them as if to remind her of her best friend first.

Altha also after that prepared herself, starting from supplies and others to prepare to sail to the city of Taiya.

Akma Jaya and Tabra help Aisha cook, the three of them compact together and laugh at each other, like brothers that is the atmosphere of the three of them.

In addition, the crew helped as well. They all did not have the heart to let the three little children cook, nor how shy they could not cook. They help as much as the hands can, there are many orderly numbers of cooking cooperates.

When they finished, they put it on the plate. Set up on the place provided.

Place that is based on coconut leaves in neat arrangement to form a carpet. They all ate on the coconut leaves. Including Altha who was previously called to eat together.

The smile of their togetherness was very felt, they all ate with a radiant face, the breeze blowing lightly made the atmosphere look comfortable, and the atmosphere was very comfortable, coupled with the morning light that makes the atmosphere warm it adds a sense of comfort.

All of these feelings can only be felt by those who feel them. People who never eat on coconut leaves will not know the taste.

After the meal, Altha and the rest of the crew gave permission to go on a cruise to the city of Taiya. The ship perched on the beach is ready, the same supplies. Everything is ready.

“Akma Jaya, Tabra, Aisha. I'm going sailing to Taiya city, you three stay here. All this I do is for the safety of the three of you, I will bring someone who can train the three of you.” Altha explained, looking at the three of them.

“Haah .. I already know that,” Tabra murmured in her heart with a slanted smile that seemed obvious on her lips. Altha approached, patting Tabra on the shoulder.

“Alright, I am so grateful that you are such a nice person towards the three of us. I don't know what kindness we can give you.” Akma Jaya brought out a vocabulary that came from the bottom of her heart. Simple thank you sentence.

The doctor looked at Akma Jaya. “No need to think back. You know, I'm not young anymore, I'm old. Occasionally coughing. You are that hope, I will now leave high hopes against you.”

“Altha, before Captain Kaiza comes to attack, I will train with the ability I can. Altha, believe. The three of us will continue to train together harder in order to make it happen.” Akma Jaya looked seriously. Looking at the two people by his side, the three of them steeled each other's resolve.

“True, Akma. Once we become strong we will beat up those pirates!” Tabra says sponge.

“Akma Jaya, Tabra. You both have very good determination. L like it. Akma Jaya, know that Captain Lasha's hope is within you. Your father hoped that you would create peace, peace from policy and justice. Therefore, never let him down. Take yourself with strength without giving up. And Aisha, strengthen yourself as well so that the three of you can reach above ability.”

Altha explained at length, giving them spirit, telling Akma Jaya about Captain Lasha's expectations. Meanwhile, Akma Jaya does not know that hope, behind her father's cold attitude turned out to hold hopes that were unknown to her. It's true he doesn't know. Expectations that are far different from reality in order to create peace not destruction and so forth.

Akma Jaya looked down a little. He remembered Dad, how could Altha know about that hope, the possibility of him making it up. Look, how is that possible? Meanwhile, the biological child who had been living with him just did not know.

“Akma Jaya, believe me. Captain Lasha never said that to you because if she said it you would only be a spoiled child who did not know the true condition of this world.” Altha explained as she stared at the lethargic look on Akma Jaya's face.

“Hei, Altha. You talk too deeply, boring. You better remember my message, when you get there, never forget to bring us three souvenirs, items that characterize the area there.” Tabra. He knew the matter didn't seem to need to be taken deeper into consideration. In the present, they must forget about it.

“Tabra, you need to know. There is a famous poor area. Although, actually the population is rich, but they are so steeped in the role of the poor. So, there is no typical item from there, but there is one food that is tuna fish chips, do you want it for me to bring you guys?”

“Alright, I want!” Tabra exclaimed in excitement.

Meanwhile, the crew. They've all boarded the ship. The order in it was waiting for Altha who seemed to be still busy talking to the three people before her.

Altha turned towards the ship. “Alright, it looks like it's already when I set sail. See you, take good care of yourself.”

Altha stepped up, entering the ship. The three children seemed to wave their hands.

The crew stretched the sail, the ship sailed off the island. Tabra was still waving her hands, while Akma Jaya and Aisha were silent watching the ship sail.

The Altha voyage to the south. Therein lies the city of Taiya, a city that is notoriously poor, not many tourist attractions, even no visitors at all.

“Qaisha, I hope you are willing to train Akma Jaya and her two friends because the three of them are the hope that will shine the sea with policy and justice.”

Altha stared at the expanse of the ocean. Inside the heart echoed speech. The wind touched his white beard. He sat with his hands back.
