To Meilin's parents, Baojia and Fang Yin, La Mudu did not forget to ask permission to take the streets of his daughter.
“Yes, please, but you guys are careful, huh?”Baojia. The near-aged man stood side by side with his wife, his daughter Meilin and Jawara Mudu, who stepped away from them. On their faces, they showed smiles, because they were happy that their daughter could finally go for a walk with a young man. They were sure, Jawara Mudu was able to take good care of Meilin.
As Meilin said, the beach was not far away, behind the village. The beach is broad elongated white sand. To the northeast is seen by La Mudu, a small island, a towering mountain. Not wanting to be curious about the question in his heart, La Mudu asked Meilin, “Is that what Sangiang Island is called?”
“True, Brother, that's Sangiang Island.” A moment Meilin stared at the young man's face from the side. There was a sense of astonishment lingering on her beautiful face with the question just now. “Big brother of this country, why not know about Sangiang Island?”
“Oh yes...,” spontaneous La Mudu turned his head and as if somewhat shocked by Meilin's back question, then he smiled, and, “Iya, right. But I have never explored the eastern end of the island. Since childhood I was raised and grazed by my teacher on a mountain, and I just got off about a month ago.”
Meilin's beautiful face again implied astonishment. Both his eyebrows are closed to each other. “I mean Big Brother, Big Brother's lifetime, Big Brother never got off that mountain?”
“Iya, true!” answer La Mudu. “Since my baby was nurtured, raised, and heralded by Dato Hongli. He is a member of Dik Meilin. He's a migrant from China.”
Meilin looked at La Mudu's face while nodding lightly. “Lantas parents Sister..?”
“I have never seen the faces of my parents,” cut La Mudu. “Konon, a tragic event has befallen them along with all the other villagers. Ah, the story is long, Dik Mei. But for sure, my family has been slaughtered by a group of sadistic and inhumane men of evil.”
“Ya, Dewa...,” spontaneously ejected speech from Meilin's lips. “Meilin is sorry yes, Brother.”
“Ya, thank you,” sahut La Mudu, without turning to Meilin. The gaze of his pair of eagle eyes was directed towards Sangiang Island. The island is the nest of the evil man who has slaughtered his family.
“If May know, who is the evil group, Kak?”
La Mudu spread his gaze in all directions. The atmosphere of the place was quiet, only the two of them were on the long beach. The waves are relentless, and are acted upon by a flock of seagulls that fly here and there. “Dik May can hold a secret?”
“Sure, Brother Mudu. What secret is it?”
La Mudu strained his neck as he looked towards Sangiang Island. “Those evil groups are the ones nesting on the Island.”
Meilin turned. There was a shock on her beautiful face. “I mean Big Brother, La Afi Sangia..?” He shrinks his voice.
“Meilin is concerned. May Kak Mudu's family be calm in nature there.”
“Thank you, Dik May,” sahut La Mudu.
“Lantas how the story Brother himself can live then collected by Dato Hongli?”
“According to Dato Hongli, I was also slaughtered and burned with all the other villagers, but miraculously, I was still able to survive. In my opinion, yes it is a miracle, but according to Dato Hongli alone is the baby drop of the gods. I don't know. Sometimes above this world occur events beyond human reason.”
Meilin nodded slowly. “Then the actual destination of Big Brother to the island Big Brother is about to demand a reply?”
“More precisely, I will end their homelands forever on this earth, Dik Mei. Dato Hongli said, it is time for the wicked men to be eliminated, for the future of everyone's lives.”
Meilin looked at La Mudu with an unblinking gaze. But in the mutih reddish hue of the face was unable to hide his worries. “But they are very strong and ruthless, Sister. La Afi Sangia is a champion with very high knowledge and has thousands of men, is Kak Mudu able to conquer them alone?”
La Mudu looked up at the blue sky. “No, I am not alone, I am with the Great God,” La Mudu said calmly, without the slightest worry from his face and voice. “Dato Hongli also assured me, that I will be able to conquer La Afi Sangia it.”
“May the Great Lord always protect you, Brother,” Meilin said.
“Thank you, Dik Mei, for her hope,” reply La Mudu.
Meilin suddenly sobbed, making La Mudu immediately turn his head. "What's up, Mei? What makes you suddenly sad?”
“Honestly, Brother Mudu, our family has also been punished by the people of La Afi Sangia. Her older brother Mei was once almost killed if her father Mei did not redeem with the treasure. It used to be that our family life prospered, but after almost all of our possessions were handed over to the people of La Afi Sangia, we fell into poverty. We also started from the beginning with the effort to open the food stall. That is also every time they enter the mainland, we are obliged to serve their meals for free.”
La Mudu let out a long sigh and then puffed it short, which signaled there was a turmoil of anger in his chest. His left hand grabbed Meilin's back and rubbed her gently. “Your fate is still very lucky compared to my fate. But do not be sad anymore, I promise to end the dictatorship of La Afi Sangia!”
“May will accompany Kak Mudu's noble destination with do’a.”
“Thank you, Dik May.”
After returning from the beach, La Mudu helped the Meilin family in their food stall. There was a desire from the bottom of his heart to stay close to the girl from the Bamboo Curtain Country. And there was a desire in his heart to keep the girl and her parents from the annoyance of the evil-hearted. Baojia and his wife, Fang Yin, turned to each other and smiled when they saw their daughter's closeness to La Mudu, without any desire to disturb her. Even in their hearts there was pleasure with the sight. Fun and comfort. How not, a powerful and kind young man like Jawara Mudu is a dream for every parent to be a son-in-law. But of course such thoughts were marginalized deep in the minds of Baoli and his wife. They did not want to wish more to Jawara Mudu. The young champion had helped them from the disorder of the criminal group earlier was a kindness that they could not repay with anything.
