The Black Pirates

CH. 8 – Pets

A few days later, time passed as usual, it seemed that Akma Jaya was sitting leaning under the shade of towering coconut leaves.

Cupping position. Seconds of breath, coconut trees near the beach give charm, the waves roll gently, combing the sand on the edges. His gaze seemed to mix with the atmosphere of silence, the wind rustled.

As the wind blew, suddenly a flying bird flashed right in front of him.

However, Akma Jaya ignored the bird. Unexpectedly, the bird returned to pass, again Akma Jaya ignored him, as if there was a problem or what? The bird kept passing, flying blocking the view and making Akma Jaya a little furious.

“Dump your weapon ... discard your weapon .. discard your weapon,” said the bird as it flew past in front of Akma Jaya.

“Those birds can talk? How come? This must be a rare bird!” Akma Jaya exclaims.

He was really amazed and did not know about the bird, all this time he had never seen it.

“I have to get you. Anyhow!” Akma Jaya tried to reach out to catch the bird.

The bird flew down the wind, away from the place, Akma Jaya chased with a limp step and breath that continued to blow hard.

Ambiance deserted. Akma Jaya ran while jumping around. He kept trying to catch her.

With a persistent attitude, Akma Jaya tireless, he continued to run, the extent to which the bird flew, he will pursue until determined to get it.

His persistent attitude is firmly planted like a plant that grows into a tree.

From the tree and the fruiting bloom, the leaves are lush green—now he eats the fruit.

The bird that was flying mocked, from his movements wanted to be captured, but he did not seem to want to be captured easily.

With burning determination. Now, the bird has been successfully captured by Akma Jaya, his attitude changed and made himself laugh jumping up and down.

“Finally, you got caught in my hand, I have to tell dad this!” Akma Jaya hastened quickly to the place of Captain Lasha.

The bird was on its deck in a warm lap-like grasp, arriving at Captain Lasha's place. Akma Jaya opened the door.

“Ayaaah!” Akma Jaya shouted.

“There's a rare bird I found.” Akma Jaya said she showed the bird to Captain Lasha.

Captain Lasha looked ordinary, he smiled sinisterly at the bird.

“Heh, this bird is not rare, there are many species like this,” said Captain Lasha a little explained.

“Really? I just found out about this bird.” Akma Jaya looked at the bird and stroked it.

“Akma, go, never make a fuss over this.” Captain Lasha said showing a cold attitude.

“Dad, at least tell me about the name of this bird?” tanya Akma Jaya is still stroking the bird's head. He's quite curious.

Captain Lasha did not give a glance. He focused forward. “Birds Beo, this type of bird can talk. If you train it every day and do it regularly,” replied Captain Lasha simply.

“Oh, so? All right, I'll go because I already know the name of this bird!”

Akma Jaya left Captain Lasha's place and went home.

From a distance of view, about ten steps away, Haima was taking care of the flowers, she was watering them with the beauty of the smile that was clearly emanated on her face.

“Ibuuu ..” From a distance Akma Jaya shouted to her mother. He ran fast approaching.

“What's up, Akma?” asked Haima in a soft voice. They were both close together and close together.

Akma Jaya reached out. “Mother, look, this animal will be my pet!” said Akma Jaya, then showed the bird in her hand, Haima nodded and gave quite a smile.

“Oh, but remember, when you nurture it, you must be diligent in feeding it and taking good care of it,” replied Haima smiling as she touched Akma Jaya's nose with her index finger, pinching it like that.

“Alright, Mother ...” Akma Jaya replied while nodding happily.

Akma Jaya brought the bird into the house. Inside, he thought of making a home for his bird.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking in the forest there was a lot of wood, there he could get it materials. With that he plans to make a cage as a home for his pet bird–.

Before that, Akma Jaya spoke to Haima. “Mother ... I want to go to the forest first, can?” tanya Akma Jaya asked for permission.

“Alright, but remember! You must be careful,” Haima said to Akma Jaya, smiling at a glance.

After getting permission from his mother, Akma Jaya dart—run fast.

Somewhere, on the streets, he somehow met Tabra who seemed to be walking and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Looks whistling.

Akma Jaya flashed, while Tabra followed and stopped her for a moment.

Akma Jaya is lightly gazed. “I want to go to the forest, there I want to find wood, then with wood I will make a bird cage,” replied Akma Jaya explained.

“Bird cage?” Tabra.

“Iya,” Akma Jaya replied a little concisely.

“Hmmm, are you keeping a pet bird?” tabra asked in disbelief.

“Iya, I keep birds.” Akma Jaya answered quickly.

“What are you keeping? Oh, ja. What's the reason you keep it?” tabra asked, and she couldn't believe it either.

“Bird Beo, that's because he can talk, even a little bit, that's the reason why I keep it.” Akma Jaya explained.

“Wah, Akma. I want to come with you, find that wood in the woods.” Tabra was very enthusiastic to hear the words of Akma Jaya. He spontaneously exclaimed.

Akma Jaya shook her head. “No need, I don't want to trouble you.”

“Akma, have we not become friends, do you not know about the nature of friendship?” tabra asked.The glare of her eyes widened.

“Akma, we have become friends, if I help you and you refuse, do you want to break the bond of friendship between us?” tabra said in a serious tone, he continued.

“Alright, if you want to come. Come with me,” Akma Jaya replied.

Hearing that Tabra exclaimed with excitement. “Akmaaa .. come on, let's go to the forest,” Tabra said while pulling Akma Jaya's hand using his right hand.

He held out his left hand accompanied by a face full of excitement.

While Akma Jaya has a flat face. He could not do much, only being able to lighten his body that was pulled by Tabra.

“Hei, Tabra. Can you pull my hand a little slower,” said the flat-faced Akma Jaya.

Tabra kept pulling her hand, she ran fast. “Hahaha ..” Tabra laughed while running, while the face of Akma Jaya seemed to be getting flatter, people looked confused because they stared at the silly behavior of the two of them.

***

In the end, the two of them had reached the forest, the air was cool and peaceful, the whirring of the wind waved.

“Alright, we've arrived!” Tabra exclaimed happily as she let go of her hand.

“How, Akma?” Tabra asked while breathing a deep breath.

“Tabra, you pulled my hand all the way,” Akma Jaya replied with a flat face. No other sound, his voice was the same fate.

“Already, Akma. Forget it, let's hurry! We find the wood and further make the cage.” Tabra.

“Alright, Tabra,” replied Akma Jaya who was behind Tabra.

“Hey, Akma .. You should be in front of me!” Tabra did not accept. His gaze glared.

“Why?” ask Akma Jaya lightly.

Tabra. “I'm not a great person like you, but rather I'm just an ordinary child.” Tabra answered and humbled. His face is a little strange.

Akma Jaya looks at the understanding. “Oh, it's not necessary for you to think, we just walk together, so far there are no rules that limit friendship, in front or behind, for me both are the same,” replied Akma Jaya ended Tabra's speech. Now, they walk together.

“Akma, what do you think, are we going to split?” tanya Tabra is optimistic. Both of his hands clenched as if showing a burning spirit.

Akma Jaya thought for a moment. About Tabra's question which to him was quite serious, before long he decided.

“No, we will not split, I fear there will be danger that befalls one of us. If we are together, we can face that danger together.”

Tabra widens her smile. “Akma, are you afraid of danger?” tabra asked with a laugh looking at Akma Jaya.

“If, someday, you will become a Captain, then you must learn to be brave through the forest alone,” continued Tabra grinning and laughing afterwards.

Akma Jaya's face was flat again. “My age is now only 15 years old. There is still plenty of time to learn,” ketus Akma Jaya

Tabra stared with a look of confidence. “Yes, let's just say you're learning now, we'll split up,” Tabra said as she patted Akma Jaya on the shoulder. Sure and strong enough.

Akma Jaya was a little stunned to hear that. “Really? That was your request to split up. In case of danger, don't blame me!" akma Jaya answered a little bit to Tabra.

“Akma, you doubt my strength, haven't we done the match practice before?” Again Tabra patted Akma Jaya on the shoulder, a smile widened on her lips.

Akma Jaya nodded. “Alright, I believe that. You are strong!” Akma Jaya praised the simple.

“For sure,” replied Tabra accompanied the smile of pride that was plastered, they moved into the forest and scattered in search of wood.
