TIKAM SAMURAI'S

Episode 54

Samurai Mats - 54

The Bungsu just stared at me with a gawk. Staring at the flag

big with that sickle hammer picture. He really doesn't understand. May-may

smiling to see the confusion. He was sitting in a chair, the Bungsu was sitting on

ahead of him. The Bungsu is still dominated by his hermit feelings. Why this girl

he helped her, but her father killed her. In front of his eyes.

“About the Babah you killed, he does deserve such a punishment

that's. He poisoned my father. Married my mother when she was pregnant.

Six months after they married, I was born. He needed money to

to finance the Communist Party in this country. He also needs influence

rank to power. For both purposes, he used my body. I

helpless against. He's a cruel stepfather. Who likes

beating and torturing people. My mother died because she was locked up for a long time

six days without feeding. It happened when I was eight

year. mother locked up and died in this room ..”

The Chinese girl then took off sobs remembering her life's path

bittersweet. The Bungsu could only speak slowly. The girl cried, until

finally the young man held his shoulder.

“Call Mei-may. I think your mother's spirit has calmed down in the afterlife. His revenge has been

I avenge”

“Yes, my mother's grudge and my grudge Koko has avenged. Thank ye. That is why

why should I save Koko from the hands of Kempetai two days ago.”.

The Bungsu was moved. The girl called him Koko. The name means

brother in Indonesian. As a name for the younger sister is

Moy-moy's chat. He learned that from some of his Chinese friends who were so

friends in the last few months. Even though this girl has been tarnished

his life, but it was not of his own will. He holds Mei-mei's shoulder, though,

and said softly :

“Calm Moy-moy. I will protect you from those who intend

bothering you”

Mei-mei was silent. This cant ik chinese girl, round-nosed face

sharp with shiny black eyes, almost could not believe that the child

the young man he called Koko called her by calling her

Moy-moy's chat. And when he was sure that the young man had said so, he

then straightened and arrived they had embraced.

“Thank you Koko, thank you ..”.

The Bungsu is like getting a sister. He has ever felt love

get back where the lost darling spilled. Will

as for Mei-mei, the poor seventeen-year-old Chinese girl is

an only child whose life has always been persecuted. The man she expected to be

his patron is his stepfather. But that man, the fat communist Babah

it turned out that he had sold it from one man to another. That girl

never got that protection and that affection is now in the arms

a Malay youth who had avenged him, and the young man

calling him a sister, how sheltered he feels.

“Will Koko go to Batusangkar looking for Saburo?” Mei-mei asked

when they returned to the first room.

The Bungsu looked at him. “If I go, with whom you live here,

Moy-moy?”

The girl looked down. He stared at his fingers. Then when he

raising his head, the Bungsu saw his eyes wet. The girl said slowly

:

“There is no one here where I take refuge. If I wouldn't

cause trouble for koko, I'm coming with koko. Wherever koko goes ..”

Slow tears slowly wet his cheeks. The real voice is the voice

the girl who was covered. The voice of a girl who desperately needs protection and love

dear. The voice of a girl who began to turn into a teenager, who always wanted

close to loved ones. The Bungsu took a deep breath. He's right

I really love Mei-mei. Not because the girl is so can't, not because

the girl saved his life. But she loved him because of the girl

it must be loved. Must protect. In love, skin differences

and origin is never an obstacle. Because love comes from within

not surface.

“Is there a family in Batusangkar ?” Mei-mei shaking.

“On Bukittinggi?”

“If in Bukittinggi there are. Mother's distant sister. Living in a Chinese Village ..”

The Bungsu thought. He will deliver this girl first to

Bukittinggi. There he could live in his mother's house. To carry

where you go will be difficult. Not because he doesn't want to. But that would

he faced was a mere danger. And he won't take Mei Mei inside

peril. Later if his business with Saburo in Batusangkar is finished, he will

take it to Bukittinggi.
