Chapter 15
The Wanted Meeting
Uta felt something was missing from her. He felt imperfect especially he was far from the Big Brother and Mother. “How can you feel someone's missing? Uta asked Maung who looked into her eyes. Maung just fell silent and lowered his head.
“I know you understand my words right?” again with a small smile. Maung only replied with a lazy look.
Sometimes a small encounter with a loved one brings tremendous energy to love. This is Uta's meeting with her Brother. A moving meeting. After days of being stranded in his own forest he wants to return to the tree house. The tree house that was destroyed. Attacked by Batoza's forces. It's time to go back to pick up the saved miss.
“You are ready, Friend,” said Uta on Maung.
Maung stood up straight. Get ready to jump. While shouting.” I came,” he said as he moved from one tree to another and was followed by Maung.
Uta did not expect to be surprised by the guards who were guarding the forest border area. They were very quick to intercept Uta. But how surprised the guards, when they witnessed that the one who came was Urkhon Uta, the younger brother of Olige head of the Land of the Tree House.
“Force us Sir,” said quickly by putting on a guilty face.
“Take it easy. You guys have done a good job. I just want to go home,” firmly with a smile to the Forest Guards.
Some people came to Uta and hugged her. “There is still hope for us,” he said with a sparkling gaze.
Uta with a confident look she pointed it in her eyes. “All this can be restless. But hope is still mountains in our souls. Especially the soul of the tree house.”
“Please continue Mr.” while going back to duty of the Guard. Uta simply replied with a smile of approval. He continued his steps with Maung.
Uta and Maung arrive at the tree house. My brother is working on something. Olige sensed that someone was coming but because of the visibility that was so far away that it made her not so familiar with the Little Sister. Maung ran quickly down the tree house. It was then that Olige knew that it was Uta. Olige swings through the roots of the tree, soon he comes to Uta.
The brother held his shoulder. “It turns out that now you are tall, your body is wide, your eyes are brown, and your hair is hard like a broom,” he said while wiping Uta's body.
The brother interspersed staring at the sun that began to rise on the riverbank. “You don't know. You're a very annoying person with an insignificant question like you used to be when you were a kid. You piss me off often. Because you are difficult to teach about life and habits in the tree house,” he explained while moving around and turning his back to Uta.
Uta just fell silent. “That was it. It's only natural that I ask so many questions. Because of what I think my brother did, a lot doesn't matter. Including the time Brother trapped me with the tree roots,” replied Uta a little sniffy and spoiled.
“I hope that incident does not make our brotherhood rent and not cooperate. I need you Dik,” replied The Brother slowly.
“We need to unite to build a tree house. It's even bigger. This is very important,” he said again with a serious look.
Olige. “I could hardly fight them back then. Still remember, right? They're very strong. They also had a great army of seven. I wear tiger and bear skin. Each has a different power. When they destroyed the tree house. They use fire that comes out of their hands and eyes.” Uta just kept listening to the Brother.
“Who are they. Batoza Team?” Uta asked.
“Kakak didn't fight them?” Uta replied again.
“You don't see how part of my hand and stomach is still injured.” Showing scratches on the hands and stomach, the Brother's skin was like it was peeled off by the heat of the fire, and the bark clothes he was wearing was slightly burned.
“Actually I want to finish them off but on the other hand I have to save the children and the ones under the base of the tree house. I had to hide them safely. If not the residents of the tree house will be destroyed forever,” said the Big Brother seriously to Uta.
The brother continued. ”And it is not easy to bring the children into the underground passageway. Because I have to use a torch. In the hallway is very dark and children are also covered with fear.” Hearing that Uta bowed softly. “It's my fault Brother I arrived late.” Uta put on a guilty face.
“There is no need to blame yourself because your circumstances at that time are different,” replied The Brother to calm Uta.
The brother continued
“Before I came out of the hallway under the tree house. They seven tiger-skinned troops slashed out with fiery arrows. Residents panicking. Some even ran still hit by arrows that zoom into the settlement. I can't get out of the pile of tree houses in the underground passageway. Because it has to wait for the right time.” Uta looked on sadly
Uta was just speechless hearing her brother's words. He walked slowly staring from the nearest view to the farthest to see the trees that had been destroyed. It was in his head how angry the attacker was. He closed his eyes many times. Her tears are dripping. Only God knows about his broken heart. His hands were clenched many times as if holding in anger. The tree house lives puint-puint and smoke. Some houses only separate charcoal.
Uta without inviting the Big Brother jumped up to his tree house. He's not like he used to be. Slow and slow. Now he walks straight and very fast plus agile eyes are always careful. The growth also increased. He became a strong and strong young man. His hand was hard to see the hard veins of his hand. He practiced a lot of things in the forest.
There was also a small black fist on his middle and index fingers. Because he does a lot of pus-ups. That fist grew even more powerful as it released an energy of strength from within him. When staring with anger his eyes were flaming red. He unleashed that power to destroy trees far from the area of his tree house. There was a loud bang like a bomb.
The brother was surprised not to play. “My sister don't do that. Hold your emotions we've lost a lot of things. Enough, enough. Please,” the door with a clear face.
Urkhon Uta stopped with gasping breaths.
He looked back at the tree house. Also pictured is the condition of her who had once fainted sprawled for days in the house. Uta can still feel the carving of the Brother.
“Kak, is there anything left of our population?” ask Olige.
“They I hid under the tree house,” replied Olige briefly.
Get out some kids and teenagers and parents. Their faces signified incredible innocence. Their faces were full of fear. Some of them are very sad because of the loss of their family members. He could not hide his tears.
“Sister Olige saved our parents,” pinta The child in shabby clothes.
They did not know who Urkhon Uta was because Urkhon Uta was not famous at that time.
The brother explained. “They are from the Sai Tribe. My old friends once helped us too. There is no harm if we go back to help them,” Olige told Uta.
When Urkhon came they were astonished by Uta's long hair covering her eyes. He was wearing a half-cloth shirt that was visible on his left shoulder. But Uta's face looks clean oval.
“Who is he, Brother Olige?” ask the astonished boy.
“I've never seen him in our village. Is he a bad person.” others chimed in.
It doesn't take long and will cause a debate.
“This is Urkhon Uta Adik Kak,” he replied agilely
“Ah..,!” one of the teenagers was very excited.
“This is Urkhon Uta who never went hunting.” is obviously a teenage teenager with a little cynical.
“Hai, boy. Know where you're from about me?” Uta's a little upset.
The child was silent in fear.
“Uta they are still children and teenagers. Don't you take it seriously,” said the Brother trying to explain.
“Sure Kak,” explained with respect
“They know about you because the elders of the treehouse tell your story to them.”
“But it looks like he's great.” The girl said spontaneously to see Uta.
Uta smiled sweetly.
From a distance a large black dog with body hair smeared like a zebra with dangling ears. Run towards Uta. The bodyguard Olige was surprised. He immediately wanted to beat up the Black Dog for daring to come and not invite. He thinks it's the enemy dog. He ran to get rid of the black dog. Beyond a doubt the black dog let out its usual smelly fart. Anyone who kisses her will faint.
Before all things happen Uta with speed and dexterity. The Black Dog stopped unable to move. Uta just pointed at the Dog. The dog fell.
The older brother and the bodyguard stopped and looked in surprise.
“Don't kill him, he's my friend,” Uta told the Guards.
The guards retreated in wonder. “So this Black Dog is your friend. Why don't you tell me. Good thing I didn't attack him,” he said.
‘Don't underestimate him Guards, he's a great dog”
Hearing the Guards and the Big Brother gaped in surprise.
“Mana is in this wilderness a great Black Dog.” in their hearts as if they do not believe it all.
“Sometimes Brother and others will see his strength,” Uta said.
“From now on call him, Maung,” firmly Uta again told them.
The Black Dog woke up and approached Uta spoiled. Uta gestured to the Maung. He was silent and obeyed.
“You know Brother. This dog attacked us a long time ago,”
Add the wonder of the Brother. ”When where?” sambal remembered something.
“You are, Brother, very annoying for only a few years. You've forgotten,” exclaimed Uta.
“Sorry I can't remember it because your Black Dog's body shape is so big. He was almost a meter tall and looked like a lion. But he bowed to you,” slightly praising The Brother to Uta.
“With what did you conquer it?” ask Olige.
“Content Brother,” replied Uta briefly and cleared her throat.
“When everyone in this hoodie hates me if I'm with him.” Light with a soft voice.
“But behind the forest. Sister...” Uta stopped her voice for a moment.
“I learned a lot from that Black Dog. Especially when you're not with me anymore. He's the one who shot me,” he said again.
“You are still carried away with the past. Never mind,” The Brother chimed in.
“Time we are building a house poohon. You're asleep. Sis with the treehouse elders built a herd under the tree ruma. For the hiding place. In that hiding we have prepared many things. Bed made of bamboo, and bark,” firmly Sang Kakar.
“Then what should we do now Brother?”
“We must attack the Batoza tribe behind those two hills,” Olige replied briefly.
“I will prepare everything. Don't forget you have to come with me,” take the Brother.
“Good Brother,” replied Uta.
After a long conversation and taking care of the memories of Uta and Sister. They re-entered the hallway, as big as a well. It's getting dark. Some animals start to appear. Their voices are heard everywhere. Including the Black Dog, Uta's comrade rang and laid himself down near the ruins of the tree house. He was lunglai with his head resting on his feet. Clearly he was exhausted from a day with Uta and the Big Brother circling some burning tree houses.
In the light of a small torch Uta narrates the experience with the Black Dog. Children\-children tree house form a round circle want to listen to the story of Uta. That is when he fought the muscular bird The Ugly One. The children who listened to the story were a little scared. Because the muscular birds eat human offspring. “That time Kak Uta how to deal with it?” The child asked curiously the others were still dumbfounded while staring at Uta.
“I dive. While moving into the river. But the bird kept attacking me. He even got to pounce on me. Fortunately, only my clothes were affected. His claws.. Want to know who saved me?” The kids don't know. Uta while pointing at the Black Dog with her finger. The children looked in wonder and amazement. ”That's great for her Brother Uta.”
“Her eyes can emit white light that can burn.”
“But why did he help Kak Uta? isn't he Kak Uta's enemy at first?” a child asked critically with a grin.
“Because I helped that dog, buddy. Remember,” in a serious tone.
“The dog is a loyal and obedient animal.” He told the tree house children. Animals that live in our forests. They are our friends. We have to take care of it. Agree?” Uta asked them.
Others argue. “Agreed Kak.”
“Kak Uta, after Kak Uta survived a muscular bird attack. Who are you living with?” The question arises.
“Tomorrow Brother will continue the story. It's already night time. Sleep,” Uta's orders on them.
Some of those kids have gone out first. Uta looked at them. In his heart Uta said. “They are the guardians of the tree house. If I don't train and prepare them in the future. There will be a disaster that I can not expect.” while laying down Uta's body staring into the dark sky which is slightly ridden by the crescent moon.
Uta took off the clothes made of bark. The rope that tied his head he let go as well. From a distance he looked at the Brother who fell asleep first. Uta had great respect for the Big Brother even though no matter how she was, she was the flesh blood of Uta.
Uta's eyes were looking for someone, the Mother, she saw the Mother was outside the tree house looking at the sky accompanied by starlight. Uta approached the Mother beside her. The Mother said. ” Happy mother you back Nak.”
“I'm definitely happier again Ma'am,” replied Uta.
Uta said again. “Mother may the goodness of God always be with you there.” Feeling the night wind.
“Days are getting late. Sleep Uta,” Mother's orders to Uta. He fell silent and went into the tree house.
Several times the Black Dog. Uta gave a signal with her index finger to Maung and she began to fall asleep.
