The Black Pirates
CH. 5 – Slashes of the Sword in the midst of the torrential rain
Haima treated Akma Jaya for the healing of her wounds. One woman took care of the house and the other looked to be getting more troublesome, but she did not complain in the least.
“Akma, time to eat.” Haima approached Akma Jaya who was lying down. He brought a plate of food and also a glass of drink.
Akma Jaya looked back in a lying state. “Mother ...” He spoke softly and got up and turned his body against the back wall of the pillow.
“At the time to eat.” Haima repeated the words, to make it clearer.
“Iya, mother.” Akma Jaya replied slightly nodding.
Haima sat on the bed staring at Akma Jaya as she stirred the food on the plate slowly with a spoon.
“Aaaaa ..” Haima hinted for Akma Jaya to open her mouth and she still treated Akma Jaya like a spoiled child.
Though Akma Jaya is not so, just because she used to live with a mother, from childhood until now.
Her affection for her mother bloomed and no matter how she considered it, whatever it was, she would still love the way it did.
“Eat a lot, so you are healthy again,” said Haima smiled.
“Alright, mom.” Akma Jaya replied.
Haima gave a slow bribe, a gaze that reconciled the atmosphere.
As Akma Jaya chewed on the food, at that moment, Haima rubbed her head gently, both of them smiling at each other.
“Hihihi.” Haima laughed and somehow she was.
“Mother, why laugh?” ask Akma Jaya just like before.
“Mothers remembered when you were a baby.”
“Hmmm?”
“That time you were like this, lying down and only mom took care of you.” Haima spoke and Akma Jaya listened.
“Hihi, I was a child always troublesome mother,” said Akma Jaya chuckling.
“Mother never said it would be.”
“But, true. In the past I could only be troublesome, until now was the same.”
“Hihi, don't say that, however you are still a mother's child, if you feel you used to trouble mother, close your eyes, have you ever heard mother complain in caring for you?” asked Haima smiling.
“Iya, never.”
“Really?”
“Iya.”
“Yuk, eat again.”
“Iya.”
“Yuk, eat again.”
“Mother ... I answered.”
“Bit.”
“Keep how?”
“Longen.”
“Alright, mom. I eat and want to eat, do not deny as long as mom wants to give me a bribe, I love mom,” said Akma Jaya Long.
“Hihi, let's open his mouth. Ship sailing soon.” Haima offered a spoonful of food, while Akma Jaya opened her mouth as Haima said.
“Aaaa ..”
“Aaap.”
“Hihihi, eat a lot,” said Haima while continuing to feed Akma Jaya.
As for Haima, she is always able to do Akma Jaya like a child, her behavior is quite different from most mothers on the island.
Her face was soft and looked sweet.
“Mother, I'm full.”
“Alright, now you drink, yes.”
“Iya.” Akma Jaya drank a few sips of water.
“Already?”
“Iya.”
“Hopefully get well quickly, I really hope you can be as healthy as before.” Haima rubbed Akma Jaya's head.
“Mother, does mother feel lonely without my presence?” ask Akma Jaya.
“Not quiet.”
“Then what?”
“Without you feeling boring, mother's days usually pass with you.”
“Hihi, mom. When I grow up and sail the ocean, never miss.”
“Iiih, who misses.”
“Yakin?” ask Akma Jaya.
“Iya, sure.”
“Hahaha.”
“Hihihi.”
They both laughed at each other, Akma Jaya tried to comfort her mother so that the feeling of worry was not too imprinted in the tender heart.
***
Not feeling a week passed, the treatment given by Haima bore fruit, now that the entire wound has healed completely, Haima stared happily.
“Mother, can I continue practicing?” ask Akma Jaya for permission.
“But, you just recovered.”
“Iya, if I train tomorrow, how?”
“It seems like it's still not enough.”
“Lusa?”
“Not enough.”
“Two days after?”
“Not enough.”
“Three days?”
“Not enough.”
“Hmmm ...”
“Hihi, not enough.”
“Mother, intentionally?”
“No.”
“Keep when?”
“Two weeks for you, don't bid!”
“If dad is angry, how?”
“Quiet, there is a mother who defends you, mother will talk about this with her.”
“Mother can?”
“Can.”
“How?”
“Hmmm ... How, yes?”
“Eh. Why did you repeat my words?”
“Hihi, no need to think about.”
“Iya. I'll focus on helping mom.”
“Eh. Don't.”
“Why?”
“Already, don't!”
“Yeah. Foolishness, Mother often so!”
“Mother told you to rest using the sword is because you will practice breathing, simply put it this way, Akma. You take a breath, then exhale. Practice breathing for a week.” Haima explained the reason.
“Oh. So that's the reason mom told me not to practice swords for two weeks, so that I use a week to practice breathing, continue another week for what?” tanya Akma Jaya put her hand around her chin.
There was some sort of illogicalness in the mind of his mind, for some reason Haima was quite curious about it.
“What's the reason mom?” ask Akma Jaya again.
“Hmmm ... keep practicing to regulate breathing, early try it you will definitely fail, too many obstacles. In the past, your grandfather tried it he often failed.” Haima gave the answer.
“Grandpa?”
“Iya, he is the father of Mother and you call him grandfather.”
“Oh. Why haven't I seen her all this time, where is Grandpa living?”
“She is in here.” Haima hinted towards the heart of Akma Jaya and at the heart of hers.
“Really?”
“Yes, practice the science of breathing so that you can better control your abilities when facing opponents.” Haima spoke softly.
“Alright,” replied Akma Jaya smiling.
Not lingering, he focused on practicing breathing and living a daily routine at home. Upon learning of this, Captain Lasha did not remain silent.
She was angry, repeatedly Haima gave her composure so that her husband would not get angry and explained the reason behind it all.
“So, that's what he's learning?”
“Iya, Kanda. Dinda never heard dad talk about it.” Haima.
“Omong is empty, at the time I killed him, why did he not put up a fight?” ask Captain Lasha.
Haima could not answer.
Captain Lasha stared fixedly, then laughed. “Hahaha, it's true it's nothing but nonsense, but let him practice breathing and spend his time in vain, exactly two weeks later, he will bear the consequences.”
Captain Lasha assumed that what Haima had previously described was nonsense, given that Haima's father was dead and there was no resistance in the slightest.
“Alright, Kanda.” Haima smiled, that was all that could be done. The purpose of all of them is to prevent Captain Lasha from taking Akma Jaya to practice and all of Haima's plans go smoothly.
Hearing Haima's utterance, inexplicably Captain Lasha snorted in annoyance. He quickly left before him and went back to training the men.
Meanwhile, Akma Jaya follows what Haima has said, he believes and believes in himself will succeed, even if the belief is not necessarily successful or not. Trying is better than staying silent.
“Please mind, chest area ...”
Akma Jaya slowly regulates breathing, pulling and exhaling it. With a sitting position silent—without talking also closed eyes.
The activity has now been going on for two days, Akma Jaya felt long enough and she decided to rest, then asked for permission to leave the house. Haima.
He did not want to curb Akma Jaya too much and let her get out of the house, but of course he advised her not to take too long and continue breathing exercises as usual.
Now, Akma Jaya is walking along the coast, that's all you can do to be calmer and less depressed.
After coming from the beach, he returned home because he remembered the message Haima had given him. Even though I want more peace.
“Akma Jaya, how?” tanya Haima stood in the doorway.
“Aware of streets.” Akma Jaya replied.
“Where?” ask Haima again.
“Pantai.”
“Oh, yes. I've prepared food for you, it's time for you to eat.”
“Iya.”
Akma Jaya ate, after which she resumed breathing exercises. He stayed in the room and focused.
For days he continued to practice breathing and hoped he could, after two weeks. He is quite able, although not too good at regulating breathing.
“Mother, it's been two weeks, allow me to practice swords?”
“Iya, mom will give you permission.”
When he heard the sentence that had just been said by Haima, Akma Jaya returned to practicing the sword, only a few moments after finishing from her ascetic to practice breathing, her body condition was still stiff due to long motionless.
However, he paid no heed to the condition he had previously been in.
Akma Jaya's strong determination brought her to the scene of struggle. The desire to prove everything to Captain Lasha, so that the Father who had been hesitating towards her became satisfied with the ability she had.
Therefore, now Akma Jaya is practicing without getting tired.
From the rising of the sun, the morning weather and the dim glow of the night, the sound of chickens still crowing until the sun was set in the dark night of the moonlight, Akma Jaya continued to play the sword, the sharp piercing sword slash split the coconut fruit on the shore.
Sontak, coconut fruit is falling, there are many in number, Akma Jaya drinks coconut water to relieve thirst.
After practicing, he rested while staring at the moonlight that was round on the surface of the horizon, although it was slightly dim and as if it was not glowing.
Training this time, Haima told her not to tell Captain Lasha and just focus on practicing alone, now according to the custom there was a big meeting attended by her and she would not know.
After resting for a while, Akma Jaya returned to training to shake the sword.
It's the notes he learned from his time with Captain Lasha.
Sword level:
Armour
Junior
Warriors
Dashlour
Castanians
Cancastailor
Madianors
The ten levels of swords he studied with Captain Lasha at the sword academy.
However, actually in parentheses, no matter how high the level of a person, if he can not chat himself, then it is the same as perishing.
Of the several sword movement techniques, one of them was the swan bird movement.
The movements that fall into the greatest category are the movements of the eagle, a sword technique that is difficult to master.
Now, Akma Jaya reads the details of how to use the method. He continued to train and in such a short time he had managed to master it.
The determination and burning spirit make him confident in desire, something that encourages members to move to achieve something.
On a cold night, the blowing air swept across the face and stroked the hair.
His sword slashes were mounting. The loud screaming sounds united with slashing.
He slashed swiftly, the five coconut trees that were in front of him instantly fell down, the slash scraping rapidly, faster than the blink of an eye.
Akma Jaya sighed and widened her smile, she was delighted at the achievements she had achieved.
Behind the scrub, it turns out there are two pairs of eyes that are lurking Akma Jaya practice, but Akma Jaya does not realize it.
He seemed to smile as he saw the achievement of Akma Jaya then left without leaving even the slightest trace.
Akma Jaya continued to train with the sword until she did not realize that the night was getting late, the sky particles shed the mega stars.
“Akmaa, time to go home.” Haima shouted loudly and called out to Akma Jaya.
”Good.” Akma Jaya said she understood her mother's feelings. So, decided to continue practicing again tomorrow.
“Mother, where is dad?” tanya Akma Jaya came home and it turned out that there was only Haima there.
“Tonight, there is an important meeting. Looks like discussing loot.” Haima.
“Daddy is busy?”
“Iya, busy. It's time for you to go to sleep, it's getting night, look at the stars already showing themselves.” Haima gave a signal.
Akma Jaya is drinking water. “Iya, later.”
“Why later?”
“A minute, hihihi.”
“Already, there sleep!”
“Good, mom too.”
Akma Jaya went to her room and tried to shut her eyes, but she fell asleep.
***
The day has passed.
In the morning, Akma Jaya again practiced persistent, the wind blowing, the dim sound on the beach about the waves pounding and the beauty of the morning weather.
At the time of training, the desire in Akma Jaya increased. Asa who showed the flaming light.
Asa who was rising sharply, in the middle of the training, rumbling sounds started to sound, gusts of wind were getting louder as if the wind was becoming an enemy within her shaking the sword.
WUUUS! When the wind blows, Akma Jaya moves to penetrate into the sidelines of the wind.
The cloud, which had been seen as a white blob, had now turned into a black blob.
Gradually things changed.
Now, drizzling rain is falling, water droplets falling onto Akma Jaya's face show the water.
Sweat sweat that originally came out in the morning that people say is a form of light exercise, sweat water is slowly touched by drizzling water.
“Aaah!” Shouted Akma Jaya practicing earnestly.
Haima was quite attentive from a distance, while Captain Lasha had not been seen the trunk of his nose, somewhere now he was, since last night's meeting, the old pirate had not come home until now.
“Akma Jaya .. fight harder so you can grow strong and dashing.” Haima said in a murmur expectantly.
He focused on watching Akma Jaya practice with no blink of an eye, rarely blinking and only cursing for a long time.
The sword training that Akma Jaya did was not just playing, but there were many sword techniques that he was trying to learn.
Tired all over his body he controlled and tried to be peaceful, as Captain Lasha said, pirates do not know the word tired, whether the presumption is real or just a joke. There's no evidence.
Fatigue was natural, it was only possible for Captain Lasha that she never complained or showed that she was exhausted.
Assumptions that are firmly embedded until speech is thrown away, assumptions and verdict the impossible in life, even though fatigue is natural.
Now, Akma Jaya began to feel exhausted, breathing as if blowing in the crown, but she tried to catch her breath and did exactly what she had trained before.
After taking a breath, he jumped up while shaking the sword in between the drizzle that touched the surface of the skin.
The dripping drizzle gradually turned into a torrent as if the rain wanted to greet with a chill that touched all over the body.
“Rain.” Haima said slowly. Both eyes are now staring at Akma Jaya who is still practicing, even in the midst of the swift rain.
Akma Jaya seemed to not care about all that, he continued the exercise, how heavy the rain that soaked the sand, the despair was smoldering and created a fire that was ready to devour anything.
The waves, the wind, the raindrops seemed to blend everything in the hearing. Rumbling atmosphere practicing.
Akma Jaya seemed to ignore the condition of his body, in the midst of the rush of rain, the sword continued to slash with agile movements, Akma Jaya practiced without knowing to rest.
“Akma, finish the exercise, it rained very hard!” Haima shouted waving hands and calling for him to rest, but Akma Jaya was like a person who was being possessed by a sword, he ignored Haima's call.
Maybe in other things because of the sound of rain, as a result of which the hearing becomes disguised.
Haima ran after Akma Jaya on the beach. The wind and rain drops filled the place.
“Akmaaaa!” He shouted as he approached Akma Jaya.
Akma Jaya looked over. “Mother,” he said and immediately stopped training.
“Akma, why don't you answer mom's call.” Haima spoke mixed with the sound of strong wind and water particles dripping onto the surface of the cheeks, face, entire body, and everything.
Meanwhile, everything in Akma Jaya is soaking wet. Haima shivered strongly and hugged her hands.
“Mother, why did mom come to me?”
“Come, mother soon we return home.” Akma Jaya pulled her mother's hand. He tried quickly to get there and take shelter.
When they arrived home, Akma Jaya quickly gave a blanket to her mother, Haima's body shivering.
“Te—thank you, Akma.”
“Iya, mother. Rest.”
“Iya, you too.”
“Alright, mom. Forgive me for not hearing your call.” Akma Jaya feels guilty because she has made Haima hit by heavy rain.
“Iya, it's okay.”
During their conversation, Captain Lasha unexpectedly walked through the rain. He came from the meeting, it seems like last night he fell asleep at the meeting.
The old pirate is still in the lead, even though his body condition is less appropriate to stay up. Earlier at the time of the meeting, they were discussing a group that had recently been alarming.
Groups that walk on foggy nights and wherever they stop by, then the island or village will be destroyed. That's a glimpse of the meeting last night that peeled off for longer, hours to put Captain Lasha to sleep there.
He went back through the rain, for some reason he insisted on returning home, it seemed like he had enough to count on the day that Haima said the limit of breathing exercises for two weeks.
Captain Lasha came suddenly from his interest last night, only when he asked why they were soaking wet like that, Akma Jaya explained that she trained until it rained and her mother came to take her to rest.
At that moment, Captain Lasha looked at the cynical smile. “Good. Let's continue your training.”
“Kanda—”
“Haima, it has been enough all this time Akma Jaya is with you and lives as a spoiled child, now she must continue to practice!” Captain Lasha said sangar.
Akma Jaya nodded in agreement, in the rain, Captain Lasha walked with Akma Jaya to fight a duel.
Haima from a distance, the circling blanket was only able to swallow the reality bitterly. His body condition was still shivering and he had no intention of entering the house because he was powerless to leave and was so worried about Akma Jaya.
“Akma ...” Lirih Haima.
Akma Jaya stared fixedly at Haima and told her to rest.
However, Haima refused and still wanted to see their fight. A mother's prayer was strongly propelled and rose toward the horizon, a prayer of tenderness adorned with affection.
Akma Jaya stared silently at Captain Lasha with a look of confidence, that she was able to defeat him.
“Akma Jaya, are you ready?” asked Captain Lasha to draw a sword.
Akma Jaya nodded and said that she was ready. Now, the two of them drew swords at each other.
From quite a distance away, the two sat, at that moment, Captain Lasha stared fixedly at the eyeballs.
“Akma Jaya, now I love the gaze that your eyes are shining on!” Captain Lasha exclaimed with a cynical smile.
“Dad, today I will prove the ability of the sword that I have been studying,” Akma Jaya replied with a sword that screeched between the ground and the air.
The sword that was stuck and pointed then straight forward facing Captain Lasha.
“Heh, prove!” Captain Lasha sangar.
“Good.” Akma Jaya.
THE TRAANG!
Their swords met cross-over, the gusts from the meeting of the two formed an air tremor.
“Akma Jaya, you do not use the mind, when the fight the most important thing is to think about the movement of the opponent. Just cut this shit!” Captain Lasha slashed the sword, while Akma Jaya quickly dodged towards the back.
The rain was still pouring down, all the bodies that had been wet wet were wet like people standing in the water.
“Akma Jaya, what are you trying to prove, at the moment I saw clearly, you are still in a hurry to attack.” Captain Lasha continued speaking.
“Dad, look at it one more time.” Akma Jaya is back. This time, his movements were nimble and hard to guess.
Akma Jaya constantly shakes the sword, its power seems to multiply and ignore what is in the eye.
Amidst the torrent of rain, they clashed with swords with very fast movements, the sound of their swords clashing against each other.
CANG! CANG! CANG!
The speed of movement of the two of them pierced through the rainwater, a movement that made rainwater particles splash onto the sidelines of their bodies.
Akma Jaya screeched loudly while launching a full assault, while Captain Lasha deflected casually. The look on his face did not show an overwhelmed expression of deflecting.
“Cash movement!” Captain Lasha exclaimed loudly. Akma Jaya took a step back.
“Dad, what you said I will prove, that the movement I have learned so far is not like that.” Akma Jaya answered loudly.
“Not just a speech, let's prove it. Before I had said that to you, what I see now, you do not remember clearly my words.”
“Alright, one more time.” Akma Jaya is back. He launched an attack.
“Heh, just like before, you like repeating words without balanced strength.” Captain Lasha answered a glance and fended off the attack.
Akma Jaya again stepped back and brandished her sword towards the horizon, she was closing her eyes. Captain Lasha stared dislikefully.
A moment passed, he opened his eyes. And back to snuggling.
Captain Lasha was quite bored, she moved quickly to shake the sword. At that time, Akma Jaya used the technique of eagle movements. Movement speed and agility mighty.
Captain Lasha was dumbfounded, her eyes wide open, she could not believe what she was seeing.
“This movement ... Akma, you've mastered this move!" Captain Lasha said while trying to avoid the sword movement that seemed to hit him, the speed was difficult for him to overcome.
While, Akma Jaya did not reply, she focused on attacking without taking out a word, her sword moved extremely fast.
THE SAT! THE SAT! THE SAT!
The movement made Captain Lasha desperate, he could not do anything, his eyes were diverted, Akma Jaya seemed to unite with rainwater.
He launched a series of attacks, Captain Lasha could only avoid and could not find a gap to attack Akma Jaya or he deliberately did so.
It seems like he is being deliberately in order to see further the capabilities of Akma Jaya.
What is famous about him is enough to make people amazed and mixed feelings of fear.
When looking at him, the dignitaries exuded the viscous aura of a cold-blooded assassin. There are a lot of rumors among people.
Behind Captain Lasha's attitude, no one knew about it. He was quite observant in keeping his true identity.
“Dad, accept my attack!” Akma Jaya whipped as she slashed the sword.
BUUMS!
Captain Lasha stepped on the ground and made Akma Jaya fall.
“Aaah!” Akma Jaya suffered pain in her leg area. Captain Lasha walked over, but not yet, Akma Jaua darted away from him.
Akma Jaya was almost at her limit, on her legs splattered with blood.
Captain Lasha seemed to be feigning exhaustion as if mocking Akma Jaya.
Meanwhile, Akma Jaya's breathing is really blowing breath, breathing exercises taught by Haima are still not mastered or he can not master the science of breathing.
Akma Jaya tried to stand up straight and continued to attack, while Captain Lasha just avoided.
Captain Lasha tried to hit the agile, testing Akma Jaya's agile movements, in another case, he intended to avenge Akma Jaya's attack, but still did not do well.
Pretending it was not good, while Akma Jaya tried to use all his strength to attack. Helaan breath gasp tired.
Captain Lasha did not stay still, he attacked back, now their swords were fighting each other strongly, looking like a flash of lightning and a glimpse of their rapid movements, the sound of swords making a loud noise, it sounds clear in their ears.
Haima watched from a distance, she did not care about the cold that made her body tremble.
In Haima's heart millions of prayers were made for Akma Jaya to prevail against Captain Lasha, the prayer of a mother, now accompanying the struggle of Akma Jaya.
When he prayed, his face looked agitated while biting a finger full of anxiety.
In the end, Captain Lasha and Akma Jaya were completely exhausted, they stopped each other to catch their breath and strategize.
“It turns out, his sword ability is really increased, can not be underestimated!” captain Lasha breathed a tired sigh.
Akma Jaya was quite staring from a clear view, she grinned.
“Daddy, do you acknowledge the greatness I'm now showing you?” ask Akma Jaya.
“Heh, it's nothing!”
“What—”
Captain Lasha whipped and moved the sword at speed, but just as a cheat, she returned to her original place and approached Akma Jaya. Walk slowly.
At that moment the atmosphere of the rain was getting heavier, the rumbling on the surface of the horizon sounded, the lightning light stretched out loud and it focused the tension, and created a gripping full atmosphere.
Captain Lasha smilingly looked at Akma Jaya as if proud of what she saw. “Akma ... Now, I consider you a pirate!” Captain Lasha exclaimed in the midst of the increasingly heavy rain.
In the end, they resumed the fight, their sword slashes getting faster, Captain Lasha could only fend off all of Akma Jaya's attacks.
Captain Lasha thrust the sword with a stab that almost hit Akma Jaya.
However, Akma Jaya dodged him quickly then jumped up, feeling the violent rain falling down dripping around his face, Captain Lasha looked at Akma Jaya, now a sense of admiration struck her feelings.
“Akma Jaya, you have proven the sword skills you have," Captain Lasha approached Akma Jaya, then hugged her tightly.
“Ayah ...” replied Akma Jaya while replying to a hug from Captain Lasha.
Now, the atmosphere of haru enveloped the clear cold. Captain Lasha was truly rejoicing as if in her heart had grown a flower plant and the flower was blooming beautifully.
The feeling of a proud father splashed with the feeling of love, how joyful it was for him. Yes, that's how Akma Jaya feels the same way.
From a distance Haima was grateful with feelings filled with happiness, Haima's smile was beautiful, she looked at the two people in front of her—suami and her son— muttered for a moment, then rubbed her face.
After the incident, Akma Jaya was treated by Haima. Then time passed until he recovered, now Akma Jaya and Captain Lasha often do sword training together.
Captain Lasha trained Akma Jaya constantly to sharpen her sword skills.
Every day they passed by with practice and various sword techniques were successfully mastered by Akma Jaya with which Captain Lasha cheered happily.
It seems, Captain Lasha being cold only applies to his enemies and the weak around him, for him the weak are just like garbage, even though the weak are his own children.
However, now Akma Jaya has proven to Captain Lasha, that he is able to master sword training.
The incident made the pirate's face smile happily and muttered with satisfaction over the success of his son.
