*Alma Fatara (Alfa)*
Slamet Lara just arrived from the sea. He brought enough fish for the next few days.
“Huuu huuu ..!”
Slamet Lara frowned when she heard the sound of his wife crying like a man.
As he looked beside his wooden house, his thin wife was squatting down crying while eating coconut meat. The right hand holds the machete and the left hand holds the coconut meat. Basic woman never eat school chair, she does not know if eating using left hand that way dedemit eating.
“Why anyway, Mun?” tanya Slamet Lara while breathing golden breath. Anxious because it had come home tired, upon arrival at home it was greeted with a cry, not a smile Monalisa.
“I miss Alma, Sir. Thirty-one days he has left us, but he has not returned home. The word swordsman was, he said Alma was fine and had become a student of magic people, but kok did not go home, like no parents only. Huuu huuu ..!” muniwengi replied and then went back to biting the young coconut meat and continued her crying.
“Yaaa her name is also learned, probably forbidden by her teacher. For example, Alma trained in a well full of snakes for a year, or hung on a mountain top for two years,” Slamet Lara said.
“It was train or torture, sir?” ask Muniwengi. Her crying began to subside because it was disturbed by the presence of her husband.
“Yaaa his name is also the one who trains the magician, Mun. Those magicians are weird sometimes.”
“Oh is it, sir?”
“Hok oh!” Slamet Lara confirmed with a nod.
“I miss the same weight of his impolite laugh, Sir,” Muniwengi said again.
“Hehehe! That kid is annoying, but if it doesn't feel like losing.”
“Hopefully if Alma has graduated, go home bring a lot of money, so we can go up the level so People With Slippers,” hope Muniwengi.
“Indeed you think people learn to sell things so you can make money?” slamet Lara. Then he switched the language, “Where to go? Let him who went to deposit fish to the Village Chief.”
“Let me call,” said Muniwengi. He got up with his hands carrying a machete.
Since the incident a month ago, Muniwengi always brought machetes if going anywhere, making fellow fishermen's mothers rather afraid of him, especially his favorite son disappeared. Some are convinced that Muniwengi is in second stage stress.
Anjengan, the biggest and widest girl, also the fattest, is playing Kuda Throw Shellfish on the beach.
This traditional game is easy. Each player must have a rather large seashell, about as wide as the palm of the hand. One person will be chosen to be a horse with a draw. After choosing one horse, the player who becomes a horse puts his shell on a small circle made in the sand. The trick, the player who becomes a horse must throw his own shell using the shells belonging to the player who rides his back.
So the throwing is done by the horse with the other player going up to his back as pressure for the horse. Throwing is done from a line ten steps away from the position of the small circle.
If the horse throws his own shell, then the next horse is the player on his back. However, if the horse's clam throw misses, then the horse must carry the player on his back as far as the circle, then turn again to the throwing line.
At that time, the fat Anjengan was a player who climbed on a horse. The player who became a horse was Iwak Ngasin, a tall skinny boy.
Iwak Ngasin was already standing in the throwing line. His legs were slightly trembling withstanding Anjengan's extreme weight. His right hand held the shells belonging to Anjengan. He must throw his own shell in the circle.
“Come, Iwak! Don't let Anjengan make you a horse!” yell at their other friends. Apparently they did not have the heart to see Iwak Ngasin oppressed by the weight of Anjengan's body.
When he was about to throw, Iwak Ngasin's right hand shook. The throw was finally done. Iwak Ngasin's throwing shells pass far from the target.
“Yaaah!” other players are disappointed.
“Hihihi! My horse ran bravely! Hea!” tawa Anjengan then sang and pounded his horse.
Inevitably Iwak Ngasin ran as hard as he could until his steps staggered.
Bluk!
When Anjengan burst, making heavy pressure increase, Iwak Ngasin fell to the sand. While Anjengan hit on his back.
“Hahaha ..!” the laughter of the children was crowded. Although they had supported Iwak Ngasin, they still laughed at the misfortune of the horse.
“Hahahak ..!”
Their laughter stopped as they recognized the other voice. They looked directly back.
“Almaaa!” they shouted in unison when they saw the existence of Alma Fatara who laughed out loud at the Anjengan and Iwak Ngasin incidents.
Alma was a little far away from them. As they ran to approach the friend who had disappeared for a month, Alma quickly exclaimed.
“Eh, wait!”
Then the ten of them stopped running.
“I have some eggs, I'll throw them and you guys should catch them!” exciting Alma.
Alma did carry a bamboo basket containing many chicken eggs. Alma put her basket on the ground, she took four eggs. Two in the right hand and two in the left hand.
Yoke!
Alma dropped one egg down, which was then kicked slowly by the tip of her foot. The egg did not break, but bounced back up and was caught by Alma's hand. The attraction showed that the egg was a cooked egg that had been boiled.
“Who catches can eggs!” shout Alma.
So the ten playmates of Alma immediately prepare to catch the eggs thrown.
Alma Fatara then catapulted four eggs at once into the air, making her friends snort. Soon the question arises, how does Alma throw with such technique.
However, Alma gave a surprise attraction to his friends. Alma's feet nimblely did twice a flutter. Once inside, Alma's legs hit two eggs at once. So four eggs shot simultaneously towards Anjengan and colleagues.
Scram! Scram!
Apparently, when the four eggs hit the hand or body, he broke like a raw egg.
Iwak Ngasin managed to catch it with two hands, but the egg immediately broke. Ayu's stuttering failed to catch up so the egg broke on her chest. Anjengan could not catch, making a broken egg on his forehead. Another one broke on Juling Jitu's face.
“Hahahak..!” Laugh madly Alma saw the results of his actions, to the point that he squatted down.
“Hahaha ..!” Friends who were not exposed to the egg finally laughed, especially seeing the faces of Anjengan and Juling Jitu.
“Alma my son!” muniwengi shouted loudly as she looked at Alma from afar.
“Hah!” shock Alma who suddenly laughed stopped because he saw his mother came running while carrying a machete.
In a hurry, Alma grabbed her egg basket and ran to save herself.
“Hahaha ..!” It was the turn of the children who laughed at Alma for running away in fear of her own mother.
Muniwengi did not heed the laughter of Anjengan and colleagues.
“Alma, why did you run away?!” muniwengi.
“I don't want to be hacked by Mom!” shout Alma.
Increasingly laughing Anjengan and his colleagues heard the cry of Alma.
Muniwengi. He finally stopped chasing and threw away his machete.
“No, Alma. Mother brought a machete because after the head! Uh, coconut shell!” muniwengi.
“Emak is there! Thankfully I did not lose my heart! Hahaha!” alma shouted as she walked closer towards her mother.
“Almaaa!” muniwengi shouted as she ran to embrace Alma's arrival.
Anjengan and his friends soon swarmed Alma. (BH)
