Our Latitude - Part 51 Latitude



Section 51 Latitude


Latitude, Controller at Inner World Latitude.


EVER SINCE the destruction of the Tree House System yesterday, only now have I ventured ma-suk here again. It was because Bang Jaka repeatedly assured me that they were not angry with me.


I put my foot here again. Heart gripped. The disaster in here, all because of me. I once doubted this system yesterday—bright. I broke the system's most important rule. And that resulted in Sylia coming out again.


When he we drove into the Prohibition Forest first, it was still very clear in my memory, he swore he would destroy us all. He managed to do it. Being an irony because it was caused by me.Three or four days ago, Bang Jaka had to ‘depan’ during a session with Mbak Icha. He noted in the journal that now Sylia is being handled by Uncle Weirdo. Ma'am Icha says it's a very good solution. However, he advised that Uncle be careful to take care of him.


That was Uncle Weirdo, with Bang Jaka and Adrik rebuilding the frame of the Main Tree House.


“Latitude!” Mer screech from the porch of his house. “Mer!” I wave.


It's nice to hear Mer's still raking the nails just as warm. A nail like a stab in my chest. Guilt in the system is still entrenched. Felixia came out of her house. Mother Retno and Civa. They waved, smiled widely, and asked me to go up immediately.


My tears are falling. Felixia greeted me as I climbed up the stairs of Pa-man Weirdo.


“Don't cry, Brother Lin. They're re-installing the system. Brother Lin should be happy, therefore energy intake for us inside here.”


“Yes, yes, you're right, Fel.” I immediately wiped my tears.


Up above, Merah has been waiting for me with a flutter and her hands are wide open. “Oh, Latitude, my dear!” She hugged me warm.


I've read all the stories they've written in the journal. They had written down the man-fighting inside here when the event took place. I remembered her bitterly as I hugged me reka one by one.


“Mother,” mumbled when hugging Mother Ret. “I'm sorry.”


“Nno need to apologize, Nduk. This is our fight together. Never keep that feeling. That's not good. Already, already.” He patted my back.


“How are you Captain Kirk?” tanya Mer teases me.


“Mer!” I glared.


“Announcement, announcement!”   Mer made a funnel with both hands in his mouth. “Lintang already has a girlfriend!”


That strange scream of Mer made Bang Jaka, Uncle Weirdo, and Adrik quit his work.“Ciyusan?” pekik Bang Jaka's.


“Iya!” yell Mer at Bang Jaka. “Yang. ”


I hit Mer and closed his mouth so as not to preach such ridiculous things. Na-mun, Felixia the burly bagundal powered by turbo, pulled me and locked my hand.


“Say, Brother Mer! What the hell's going on? Fast!”


I struggled, trying to escape from Felixia. “Fel!


Lepasin, right? Feeel!”


“Which is strange,” said Mer continued shouting ak-yelling. “When Literature finished shooting, he called me. Yes, I'm gombalin literature. Let him get better at klepek.”


Everyone is listening to it. “Good, Mer!” aspatku satirical.


“Later to marry, first night call Mer also time!” sahut Bang Jaka's.


“Ih.” I'm whining. “Much thought!” “I won't want to, ih!” Shuddered.


I smile. First time, I thought Mer really liked Literature. Later, she wrote in the journal, Literature is a candidate for her to marry me. Mer is concerned and sad to see the world of my love. He said he just wanted to save me. Basics, Mer.
