Chapter 17
Clean Your Heart
In the tree house area
Uta and Olige brought several tens of fresh fish. Happy tree house children do not play with the presence of the surprise. They laugh cheerfully. “Tomorrow if I catch fish I will learn from Sister Uta,“ said a child cheerfully and spoiled.
Hearing that Uta only smiled slightly with clenched eyes.
“Kak Uta tomorrow teach us archery huh?” ask for a child older than that.
“Sure Kak Uta will teach you everything that is important you keep the spirit and love the land of the tree house,” exclaimed Uta by stroking the child's head. Uta allows children to eat fish ready to eat.
From a distance the Big Brother stared proudly at Uta. That Uta is now a new idol for the children of the tree house. He was moved to remember the incident a few years ago that Uta was a child who did not really care about the Land of Tree Houses and never followed the tradition of hunting. So that he is ostracized and shunned. But unexpectedly after he moved away from the tree house he changed a hundred percent. The older brother also regretted for abandoning him. But Uta returns to her beloved country, a tree house.
“Eat this Kak.“ Uta presented the burned fish to Olige. The older brother was moved to want it to taste tears.
“Thank you Dik,” he said softly while hugging Uta.
Uta surprised. “What's up Brother?” ask with a surprised face.
The brother just shook his head.
‘Have I avenged the actions of the Bui tribe against us. So Brother do not be sad,” said Uta in front of the Brother.
“I'm only moved Dik.” The brother answered briefly.
“And I too with everything I have will protect them (while showing will-the treehouse children who are eating fish) and this land,” said with a very strong. Describe a voice that has full confidence and becomes a great subject to move.
“I believe it Dik. I will never doubt you again,” replied The Brother.
“Now it's time for you to lead the Land of Tree Houses. Things are very precarious. You're the right guy. Young people have high ideals and a great spirit. It's a big lead,” the Bright Sister told Uta.
Uta put on a confused face.
“I don't understand Brother,” the answer is short.
“You are the right to lead the State of the Tree House,” stressed Uta again.
“One day you will understand Dik, in you there is something big,” replied The Brother.
Uta's getting confused.
“Sorry Brother I'm hungry.” Uta said while touching her stomach. Signs he doesn't want to be too serious.
Brother smiled let's eat. “I want to see how perfect the fish you caught are. If the fish is not much hit by arrows or small spears. Then you're great. But otherwise if many arrows hit the fish. Means you're not good.” with a smile
When he saw the fish caught Uta Sang Kakat was astonished.
“Learnest. There is nothing wrong with that fish. How can you do this?” The brother was astonished.
Uta just threw a smile.
“Just hit the water layer with my inner energy until the fish jumped up. After that Black Dog collects on land,” replied Uta lightly.
The brother looked in amazement.
After eating a big fish. Uta jumped into the tree house. He wanted to rest because a full day accompanied the children of the tree house. A lot of activities he did. Entertain them, teach archery, spear, jump from trees with rope, make fish traps from tree roots.
All of this made him tired. He threw his body into the tree house. He looked back at the repaired tree house. Everything is like before. Then he slept long.
Uta and her silence met a soldier who was chasing her. I don't know where the soldier came from. Suddenly he was on the river bank. He was wearing black cloth. His whole body was covered like a ninja. “Is it Batoza's team?”
He did not wait long to attack Uta with an arrow. Uta and the Black Dog dodged the one that almost injured him.
“Hi who are you?” while looking suspiciously. Then the small army ran. Uta chase.
According to the news in the record of the State of the Tree House after the great fighter between the tribes. There's a masked soldier. When he lost and he covered the defeat with a mask that no one should open until the great leader Batoza did not dare.
Several times the arrows shot out. Uta was catching fish with a black dog.
The black dog roared indicating a danger. "What's up, man?" Uta asked. Maung's eyes glared towards the tree on the bank of the rushing river. Several times his eyes flashed a ray of fire that shattered the branches of the tree. Uta just realized someone was scouting her. He immediately chased after the man by driving Maung. "Quickly our friend caught him." But Uta's flying speed with the scout was much faster.
Uta was upset so much that she immediately attacked the Scout with a beam of fire but the beam did not hit the Scout.
The Scout attacked back with the force of the wind. The wind that made a huge vortex was like a tornado. Uta and the black dog bounced away into the wilderness.
Uta was not aware that she was entering the forbidden forest area. Forests that have been away from the border area of the House of Trees. The forest suddenly darkened. Only Maung uses his eyes to be a light.
Uta was in her back. "What happened to all this" Uta said to Maung.
Muang just took it slow. Unexpectedly Uta entered a deep passageway. Black dogs cannot move. Something tied him up. Uta fell off Maung's back. Uta's feet could not move a living root wrapped around her body. The twisting of the roots made him die to move. Breath snuffling. He slowly closed his eyes. It draws energy in him. It was not just once that Uta was caught in this situation. He tried to get out of trouble. He began to grasp the roots of a tree as big as a python cub.
He saw Maung. "Well, are you okay. Let's wake. I'm sure we can get out of this hallway," Uta said moving Si Maung but remained silent. His body feels very sad. The power is almost over. The twisting of the roots of this tree makes it sick with breath fluttering. Power power in can not be removed all jammed. Uta gave up a little with her condition. He closed his eyes several times. Everything went dark.
Maung is roaring...
Auuuung-auuuung.
The tree house that was making Uta sleep swayed violently. The brother quickly jumped. He watched Uta move unsteadily with her eyes locked.
“Uta wake. You're a nightmare!” his orders.
Uta is still unconscious.
The brother approached. Wiggling Uta's body.
Uta was surprised to put on an annoyed face.
“Ah..Older brother. I dreamed a soldier shot me,” with heavy eyes Uta tried to talk.
“Black dog.” Couple times.
Uta try to see Maung. He was playing with a tree boy. Turns out it was a dream.
“It was just a dream Uta,” said The Brother.
“Clean your heart when you're going to sleep.” her advice.

Uta sat back on the edge of the tree house fence. He stared deep into the wilderness that was covered with big green trees. From a distance saw birds\-birds who enjoy the atmosphere of the forest by flying. The forest that Uta looked at was the forest of his life. He was born and grew up in the forest. The best entertainment for him is to see the beauty of the tree house and the forest. The tree house that was attacked at that time was attacked completely by the Bui tribe was again neatly fulfilled.
Although not entirely neat. But for a beginner's life it's good enough. The rope made of tree roots is re-connected to the entire tree house as a way to visit each other. There are even roots that are deliberately treated to great lengths to reach the ground floor, to be used as a tool for jumping. It used to be that the elders of the Tree House taught jumping through the roots of the poohon. That fast-moving on the tree is a tradition for residents of the Tree House. Even the residents of tree houses like to be on the top of trees rather than on the ground. Uta and Oligelah were always teaching the children of the treehouse\-children about it.
Uta went down the tree house with the tree roots she immediately called the Black Dog. The Black Dog quickly came Uta jumping sitting on his back. Uta rushed off towards the river bank. The older brother and some teenagers were just watching from a distance.
