The Black Pirates

CH. 76 – Past Chapters: Termas

   "Tabra, have you ever thought how time goes on, now that we're on top of this, this tower is tall, just looking down, I feel almost incapable!" Akma Jaya spoke, the atmosphere between them changed.

Where time passes, it beats, the day of painting colors in life. Memories, together a togetherness. The three of them from childhood until now.

Tabra gulped, staring at Akma Jaya just a casual gaze. "Captain, if you talk of heights, I give up and honestly I don't dare heights!" Tabra replied, saying that she was afraid of heights. "Lantas, why did you come up this tower with me?" Akma Jaya asked, Tabra nodded.

"Are we not friends? I don't want to leave you alone." Tabra smiled as she said it.

Akma Jaya murmured doubtfully. "Is right? Even if I go to the tiger's den?" Nyeleneh, Akma Jaya.

Tabra paused for a moment, she seemed to be thinking or was holding back a laugh, speechless. Tabra snorted, sounding clear. Akma Jaya looked at the crowd.

"Yes, Captain. Wherever you go, I'll be with you." Tabra said after a moment of silence.

"The friendship between us will continue together. Have you ever remembered that time, when we were both joking together, telling stories as children. You laugh, and so do I. From that moment on, I learned the technique of storytelling even more deeply. Almost dozens of books, I tried to memorize the story, so that I could continue to entertain you." Long enough. In fact, you can get bored if you are not used to hearing it.

Yes, the length of Tabra's dialogue, he was revealing what had happened. Dozens of books, perseverance and passion make it so. Tiredness may not be felt. Might as well. He, not even telling in one book how many pages, could have been one book, just a sheet or a few sheets.

He didn't say it. "But, on that day, you lay sick, I never thought, all those years up until now that story I haven't told you!"

As for what had happened, it was indeed a bit sad. Where there are things to say, but hidden. Tabra still can not forget the past events.

Yes, almost a year, Akma Jaya is lying weak, sick due to mixed injecting poison. Tabra slightly swallowed bitterly what had already happened. Time passed and thank God, Akma Jaya is fine. He was healthy, freshly fit full of smiles, they both spoke at length.

"Takma, do you remember Takma, the pet bird we took care of?" Tabra asked, reminding.

Akma Jaya stared longingly. "I remember. Takma's gone by our side, he's gone—flying to a cozy paradise."

At that time, the three of them lived on Andaba island, spending time together until at some point Takma fell ill, there was no medicine available. Many days of rumbling, great waves in the air, when Takma breathed his last, their pet bird both. Takma—Tabra and Akma— given names, taken from the combination of their names.

"That sad feeling, approaching. Feelings that confuse me a little, tears coming out without me understanding, the days that we live, the three of us will continue to be together, no matter what. You named the island Andaba—Anything and anyhow—together on the island we inhabited before, I don't think that name is not just a name, but in fact we are always together."

The wind blows on the sidelines of words, memories, togetherness that has been established long enough, time spins, he said giving a valuable lesson, how old can not be lied to.

"The meaning of any word and anyhow, we will continue to be together!" Akma Jaya continued the speech.

"Once upon a time if I die, I hope you're both happy, that's it." Yeah, so. Akma Jaya hoped, Tabra listened.

Tabra smile. "Captain, you are good at talking about what has happened, different from me." Tabra said after a long silence, listening to what was said by Akma Jaya.

"What's different?" Akma asked.

"none. I'm just kidding." Tabra replied, shaking.

"really? you're just kidding me?" Akma Jaya asked again.

Tabra nodded. "Right, I was just joking" Tabra replied briefly.

"Get it, Captain!" Tabra pats Akma Jaya on the shoulder.

"I don't understand." Still the same, shakes.

"Then forget it." Tabra gave me advice.

"I don't want to forget it!" Akma Jaya said firmly, sounding convincing.

Tabra has a surprised face. "Lantas, what are you going to do?" ask Tabra.

Akma Jaya is back. "Nothing I did. I'm just waiting, waiting for you to tell me what you mean. What do you mean different?" He asked, Tabra was silent. Not answering, choosing to divert the conversation.

Termas—remembered past.

The two of them were busy talking, sitting quietly without thinking about the situation under the tower. While, the crowd below was still lingering at home, they looked, questioning what was coming next, they wondered. Plus Captain Riyuta climbed the tower, the atmosphere increasingly add curious, as a result of the crowded place.

They swarmed, one of the little ones, he was in the crowd, squashed on the sidelines the adults looked confused. He looked at the astonished question to his mother.

"I thought the two men would die in the hands of Captain Riyuta" said one of the crowd. "I think so, too" answered one. "We'll see who really dies, we don't know the two people's abilities." He hesitated again, thinking he didn't know.

The assumption is right, not wrong because they never met Akma Jaya and Tabra.

Meanwhile, Captain Riyuta is constantly climbing the tower, a confident, optimistic, mighty young man who has just grown up, it is sad that his days are passed struggling about women because of the lack of parental affection.

For anyone, supposed to look after, educating a child is number one, taking precedence over anything, a simple example of wealth and power. But if the opposite is true, forget all that. "Currently, they'll both die in my hands!" Captain Riyuta muttered as he climbed up the tower without a little turning towards the bottom—forget himself.

The tall tower. "As long as there is me, whoever dares to mess with this place, then that person will end up dead!" Again Captain Riyuta voiced annoyed, angry, admitted himself in power, the turmoil of youth. It's probable.

Tabra.

"Captain, did you see him?" Tabra said while looking down.

Akma Jaya's busy seeing objects—inti tower. "Captain, what are you daydreaming about?" Tabra accused without evidence.

Akma Jaya caught—kaget. "What's wrong?" He asked a round glance. "Nothing, I'm just asking, did you see it?" ask Tabra. "What do you mean?" Akma Jaya asked back.

"Look, someone is climbing the tower!" Tabra pointed right at Captain Riyuta's eye. An unexpected glance regarding the face, clothes, various other attributes.

"Pirate? It looks like we will be in a fight" Akma Jaya replied expectantly.

"Tabra, prepare yourself!" Akma Jaya exclaimed loudly, Tabra nodded. "alright, Captain. I'm ready whenever he comes and attacks." Tabra replied, holding tightly to the sword.
