The Dusk of the Middle East

Episode 2

"Hopefully your journey is fun. Nine months, not a minute." Said dou, Then as if remembering something he turned to the right of the ship to the crew who were gathering. "Let's introduce to the captain who will take this ship to South Korea."

"Captain Diego." Say hello to a tall man, with a firm face full of authority by wearing clothes like a ship's captain.

"This is Lady Mei De Hauten.."

"A dutch." Sela Captain Diego is fast. Seemed surprised.

"Well, she's the daughter of Governor-General Felipe De Hauten of Batavia, and her own mother, you know her. Owada Misaka, the Japanese leader in present-day Batavia. They're a horde of 5 people, coming with your ship. Doi Tudo said cheerfully.

Captain Diego iego is increasingly surprised to hear the words doi. who does not know the two important people. Although the Netherlands was eliminated 2 years ago, General Felipe is the only Dutch general who still holds power.

Felipe was the younger brother of King Willem in Amsterdam. Misaka himself was a Batavian leader who under his orders managed to execute 2000 Dutch soldiers.

Although the conflict between the two countries is ongoing. However, the marriage between Felipe and Misaka for almost 30 years made the two of them still remain together until now. Not only that, about 20 years ago, Misaka decided to convert to Islam. But no one knows what his religion is from the three children.

"And this is Captain Diego. One of the great captains England have. The captain was a sailor from Wales, although since childhood he has lived in Amsterdam." Said Doi introducing to both of them.

The two men shook hands, speaking Dutch which of course did not understand by Doi because he was Japanese. Seen once to two different age people it is quickly familiar.

"All is ready Captain, passengers can board immediately." The senior crew said steadily as they looked through the passenger list in his hands.

"Then I say goodbye, my business is done and there is no problem with customs inspection, Goodbye Lady. I have to hurry to see your father, report everything." Doi once again bowed respectfully there Lady May then rushed away.

The crew began to open a list of the passengers. Ten minutes passed, with the connection of Captain Diego, Lady Mei's entourage had been on board ahead of other passengers who might have been waiting for a boat ride since some in the port of Batavia.

Not far from the hustle of the ship, in one of the food stalls, a man was in construction full of cards in his hand. The man was betting on a boat ticket with three rich young men in front of him.

Sweat soaked the man's face, only one more card he needed to open determined who the winner was. Another man who seemed to be his friend was walking back and forth behind him seemed to be unsettled.

The man stared at the table, the cards to the three rich young men, one ace and the other King. While the card that has been opened is an ace. He opened one more card slowly while hoping for anxiety.

"Yes." Yeah." The young man was happy. He got a joker card. Not wanting to make the three rich young men in front of him angry and looking for a commotion, the man quickly snatched the ticket that was already on the table. He then ran quickly into the crowd of people who were about to board the ship.

"Do you intend to kill me alone, Saleh." A pat on the arm of the man who turned out to be his friend. He ran so fast that he forgot his friend.

"Hehe, sorry. Look what I got Joseph." The man who was called Saleh showed me the ticket he had taken to escape, "And I reminded him again and again, call me Jack. Saleh's grunts.

"Well, yeah, okay Jack. But does it matter if I use that guy's ticket." Joseph asked doubtfully.

"Then who?"

" Of course I am. Your face looks very indigenous, so you will wear my ticket. While I will use the ticket that I have been hard-earned to get this. And it seems like god is helping me because that guy's name is also Jack, hahaha." Answer saleh lightly.

"Thank God, I don't want any trouble later." Joseph swept his chest. "But thank God you can get this ticket so I can come with you. Otherwise, I don't know when I can get on that big ship." Yusuf.

Saleh smiled, "Other times we take your father and mother as well. We will deceive the fools like the three idiots."

"Well, you're smart, too."

"I'm smart, so you should be grateful to have a friend like me. Saleh said arrogantly.

Joseph snorted, but he confirmed the godly speech. "Yes, thank you, Mr. Jack." Ejek Yusuf's. He was very grateful to Godly, his friend had contributed a lot to him. But Joseph was reluctant to say seriously, Saleh could become more and more later.

"Together." Godly chuckles.

"Huh" Grunts Joseph. "Why should Jack's name be, too? Saleh is good enough. Did you forget? saleh's name is what makes the girls in the alley next door all so adoring to you. Because in addition to similar names, your face is also similar to the commander of Salehuddin in Yemen. Not similar to where?"

"Haha, calm down, buddy." Saleh put his arm around Joseph's shoulder.

But as Joseph was calm, he was busy talking about how the girls worshipped Saleh so much that no one would pay attention to him.

"You can go up first, I'll catch up from behind." Sela Saleh stopped her friend Yusuf.

Joseph stopped for a moment to look around, he realized that he had arrived in front of the stairs of the ship. Then rushed aboard the ship leaving Godly alone.

The two of them could not go up together. Jack Karaeng is a true godly name. Yet all the Batavians called him pious. His father was one of the Dutch soldiers who did not want him to remember his name, while his mother was the son of the sultan Alauddin, the first Gowa king who converted to Islam.

Saleh did not like the invaders long ago so use his mother's last name to escape from the shadow of the father. And because he was one of the Indonesian youth who blatantly said his dislike of the Dutch so he did not want Yusuf to be seen with him.
