The Dusk of the Middle East

Episode 26's

Fifty-six passengers boarded the port of Coron City. All men, they boarded the ship wearing black suits, matching pants, and black pantofel shoes. The passengers looked at them strangely.

No transports were seen carrying luggage. The fifty-six passengers boarded with only black, medium-sized suitcases. In view of its size, the suitcase can only fit five or six pairs of clothes. But it's not a problem. Interestingly, almost all of them had heavily tattooed bodies.

Some people choose to enter the cabin, some still pay attention to the men. Without difficulty, they escaped in the identity check section, walking towards their respective cabins.

As the sun prepared to sink at the horizon, the whistle of the ship sounded loud. His voice was long and loud, beating many seagulls. Karel Ambo's ship moved slowly away from the harbor. His wind whistle rang loudly for the last time. In reply the whistle "good road" from other large ships, make crowded the port ceiling.

The lighthouse lights in the harbor lit up brightly. Robin and Robert looked at her charmed. It was a pity that they could not get down in this beautiful city, visiting its famous places. But the day after tomorrow, they'll definitely be back to see him.

Robin and Robert rush back to the cabin as the ship moves further away from the harbor. Adzan Maghrib is soon. Their brother had warned them to return immediately.

Finding the cabin no longer there is Sergeant Heiho, the two cheer happily. Take a shower, then change into clean clothes. Fifteen minutes later with Mang Jajan went to the ship's mosque, Maghrib Prayer.

While Aunt Siti accompanied Mei in the cabin. Either their feelings alone or indeed the number of soldiers standing guard in front of the cabin they more and more.

Prayer congregation increases one saf. Saleh or Jack Karaeng became a priest. His voice sounded bitter amid the sea breeze.

Karel Ambo's ship continues to split the ocean. The lights of the ship began to light up, like small points of light when viewed from a distance, inversely proportional to the weather that seemed unfriendly. Dark skies, thick clouds everywhere.

"The cabin next to us already has its contents huh, Mang?" Robin asked.

They walked in the hallway after the mosque. Mang Jajan shook his head not knowing about it. Mang Jajan only knew, the cabin beside them was not as big as the cabin inhabited by the Lady Mei family.

"Let's find out, Mang." Robin's Proposition

Mang Jajan did not answer. Long life. When they arrived at the door of the intended cabin, the passengers in the cabin exited the room.

Robin thinks the occupants of the cabin next door must be one of the men who had climbed from the port of Coron City. Beyond a doubt, the occupants of the cabin next door were only three people. Robin looked at them curiously.

Mang Jajan advanced forward, shone at the old Grandpa's hand, "Eyang Ran." Call Mang Jajan, "Eyang Putri" Sapa Mang Jajan to the old Grandma beside Grandpa earlier.

At nearly eighty years old, they were the oldest passengers on board the Karel Ambo, as well as witnesses to the wedding of Mei and Saleh, what are the two parents and their son doing in the cabin next door? As Mang Jajan knew, their cabin was different upstairs close to the canteen.

The pair of elders looked stooped, especially the Princess Eyeang. Walk slowly broken. With their firstborn, mothers were fifty years old.

"What's your name, son? Rosta?"

"Robin, Princess Eyang." Robin exclaims.

"Oh Randra." Eyang Ran nodded.

Foster, it turns out that Eyang's hearing is not good anymore, Robin complained. Obviously he had already said his name was "Robin" three times, but was not heard. Elsa held a laugh next to him.

"Well, what's this one called?"

"Robert Eyang." Robert exclaimed loudly.

This time it was Robin's turn to hold back the laughter, making Robert glare.

"We might as well talk inside, sitting down. There's something I want to ask." Mang Jajan proposed to the eldest son of the old couple.

"It doesn't matter, Mang. Here, we'll just be a minute. We'll rest soon. My parents insisted on saying hello to Miss Mei. I actually told you tomorrow."

"We don't know if you've moved here. Sorry if it's troublesome, we should have come say hello first." Mang Jajan looked at the couple as hunchback was not feeling good.

"It's okay, Mang. They even insisted on going to the musholla for Maghrib prayers. Lucky I could hold it. Tomorrow there's still time, we'll settle down first with this deck hallway. Tonight we will eat in the cabin. My parents seem tired of going up and down stairs."

"Do I need to get food later in the cafeteria, Buk?" Mang Jajan offered help.

"It doesn't matter, Mang. I can take it myself.

"Well then, if anything comes straight to the cabin next door. We're ready to help." Pamit retreat.

From ancient times, elderly passengers such as Eyang Ran and Eyang Putri were always there. Mang Jajan explained that to Robin and Robert.

Everyone would want to board a big ship like Karel Ambo, traveling the world. But traveling with this kapa is not cheap. Many people have to save for years and only enough when they are old, like the couple next door.

"What if they're not strong until the Goal, Mang?" Robin asked worriedly.

"Lord pray that they are always healthy and their journey is made easy." Mang Jajan smiled, "On this ship, Captain Diego has prepared a doctor, the food menu is also adjusted and so on. We can also help make their journey more comfortable."

"Where are they going, Mang?"

"Makkah, holy land, sir."

"Isn't that far away, Mang?" Robert asked.

"Yes, Sir. After arriving in Korea, this ship will go to Japan first, turning back through the eastern route of Indonesia, to Srilangka, just arrived in Jeddah. Maybe it could be a year more of a trip."

"In that case, how can we help them travel more comfortably, Mang?" It was Robin's turn to ask.

"For example, you're not noisy when it's night. Not much to ask, not to know. Let Eyang Ran and the Princess Eyang next door be able to sleep." Robert replied, smiling.

"Oh, okay. I'll take note of that, Torn's brother." Robin accidentally mentions the name "Robek" to avenge his brother.

Mang Jajan and Robin then laugh to see the sour face of Robert who already looks like the grin of Sergeant Heiho.

Their conversation came to a halt as the ship's whistle rang out loud twice, signaling dinner time.

Next Plot: But the pair of Eyang Ran and Eyang Putri is not a typical old couple. They are the most romantic couple ever. Tomorrow Robin and Robert can see for themselves.
