BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 118: ESCAPE

    Experiencing such torture, forced labor, sometimes whipped and whipped, even beaten and kicked, surely Maya could no longer be a prisoner on the island of Berhala. And it should be, not only Maya who experienced that suffering. There are still many others who certainly also suffer greatly, maybe even more severe than the Eyes. Certainly, they do not feel at home to live in suffering on the island of Berhala.

    And indeed, most of the prisoners in the palace of Pulau Berhala are women, and the average case is the same, that is, they steal jewelry in the palace. Yes, it is basically women so see the jewelry, so see the gold and jewels, then they must be immediately tempted. Especially in the palace of Pulau Berhala, all the jewelry is beautiful and interesting. The gems glittered blindingly to the eyes. The gold shimmers. The jewelry is beautiful. Surely, which other women will not be interested and tempted by these beautiful jewelry. Yeah, they'll be tempted. They want to take. And they will definitely steal it for him to wear, for him to wear, for him to show it to others. Yes, that is the nature of women who are always glared to see wealth. Likewise experienced by Maya, who always demanded and asked Podin to give various kinds of wealth, including jewelry.

    And when Maya witnessed how beautiful the jewelry was on the wall of the palace, surely she would be tempted to take it. If in Jakarta there is CCTV footage that is real evidence that the person has stolen, but in the palace of Pulau Berhala, which indeed there is no CCTV, he said, in the palace of Pulau Berhala is not supervised with modern technology, but in fact, if there are people who steal, then immediately the palace guards immediately catch.

    Likewise Maya, and indeed at that time Maya did not know that she was supervised by the guards. And of course, the wealth that was abundant in the walls, walls and pillars of the palace had made Maya blind to watch the palace guards. Then immediately, when Maya took the jewelry that she had lyricized when entering the palace, Maya was immediately dragged by the palace guards. At that moment, Maya must take responsibility for her actions that have stolen jewelry in the palace. Maya was immediately hailed by the executioners.

    Of course, all the jewelry he had stored in his pouch, was immediately taken back by the palace guards. Everything ejected. Not only the jewels he took from the palace, not only the jewelry in his pocket, not only the jewels in his hand were taken back by the guards. But in fact, the necklace Maya wore, the bracelet she wore on her arm, the ring that was on her fingers, and the earrings that stuck to her ears, were all taken away, all forcefully plucked out. And of course Maya felt pain when the earrings in her ear were pulled, resulting in Maya's ears becoming torn and bleeding. Yes, Maya could not say anything more, because indeed she had to admit she had stolen jewelry in the palace.

    And after getting a fellow inmate to talk to, Maya is certainly no longer strong enough to withstand the pain, to withstand the pain, to withstand the pain, to withstand the torments carried out by the executioners in the palace of Pulau Berhala, of course Maya wanted to escape. When Maya has got a friend to talk to, when she has got a partner who can be invited to confide, then Maya also began to bring out her silly ideas. Yes, Maya wants to escape. Maya wants to get out of that cruel prison. Maya wants out of the Island.

    And of course, his female friend Maya who has begun to be familiar with him, is also interested when invited by Maya to escape. Yes, Maya with her close female friend, who was always with her, she began to strategize. They will escape from the island of Berhala.

    "Did you stay here?" maya whispered to the woman close to her.

    "How can you say at home, if every day we are whipped, we are beaten, we are kicked, even we are trampled .... Not to mention that we were bitten by the heads of these bastards" replied the friend, who certainly could not stand living in such a place of torture.

    "I'm not at home either .... I want to go home" said Maya who certainly made her friend was also eager to get out of the Island of Berhala.

    "I am also .... I can't afford to live here anymore. I can't afford to live in this place anymore. We can't kill ourselves here .... We need to get out of this place. We have to go back to our homes, enjoy a good life, a comfortable one, a peaceful one and enough, even excessive" replied Maya's friend, the woman who is actually a man is a rich man. Yes, but certainly, her husband is also the same as Maya's husband, who asked for a treat on the island of Berhala.

    "What if we run away? How about we get out of here?" ask Maya to the friend next to her, of course with a slow whisper, so that no one hears at all.

    "Yes ..., how?" ask her friend who is confused about how to escape.

    Understandably at that place, his guard was very strict. And certainly every movement of the prisoners, observed by the guards. In addition, the executioners who will torture, are ready to beat the prisoners who try to escape. Let alone running to escape, just moving a little that if not allowed by the guards, they were immediately whipped, beaten or kicked. The guards were extremely cruel, surpassing the cruelty of the colonial era.

    "Later if we are told to work, we choose the one near the beach. We're running away from there. We go to the beach, later on the beach we take a boat. I remember, when my husband brought me here, there was a boat going back and forth from the beach, carrying the passengers who came here" said Maya who remembers very well when she took the boat with her husband. Surely Maya still remembers, at that time there was a boatman who always transports people who will come and go back to the island of Berhala.

    "But how?" ask the woman who is now always with Maya.

    "We just run.." Maya said.

    "It is impossible .... Many executioners are watching us .... Many guards are preparing to arrest us." replied the woman next to him. But alas, his voice was rather loud, so it was heard by the guards.

    "Hey ...!! Who is that talking ...?!! Let's work ...!! Don't just talk ...!!" the guard directly hit Maya's back and the other woman next to him.

    "Waduh ....!" of course the two women immediately complained of pain due to being hit by a rattan hit on his back.

    "I have an idea ..." Maya suddenly whispered, without looking at her friend.

    "Where?" ask friend.

    "I want to roll this head towards the beach. Then later I will chase the head, as if I will indeed catch and take the rolling head. Surely the guards won't get angry, even allowing me to take back that head. And later on, I would run straight to the beach and escape" said Maya who was already intending to escape.

    "Try it .... Later if you succeed, I will catch up with you." whispered his friend.

    "OK ..." said Maya.

    Saying so, Maya immediately rolled one of the heads in front of her. Naturally, the head immediately rolled towards panyai, which was indeed a lower area. Then Maya immediately stood up and tried to chase after the rolling head.

    "Hey ...!!! Where are you going ...?!!" shouted the security officer who certainly immediately snapped Maya who had started running small.

    "This .... Someone rolled ...!" sahut Maya who kept chasing the rolling head earlier.

    "Quick fetched ...!! Come back soon ...!!" said the guard, which of course while watching Maya.

    Maya heard the guards scream. But for the Maya who were given the opportunity to take the rolling head, which was originally to be laid out to serve as a foundation stone macadam walkway from the park to the park on the island of Berhala, this is the opportunity he is waiting for. This was a tactic he did deliberately, which apparently would work. And later, Maya will definitely pretend to take the head, so she can escape to go to the beach.

    Yes, finally Maya who was given the opportunity to take back the rolling head, he immediately ran after the head that he actually accidentally rolled it. And after getting near that head, and actually Maua was able to grab it, Maya's hand pretended to try to reach it, but the head that widened its eyes and mouth grimaced it, not in grasp, but, not taken by Maya, but instead Maya's hand pushed back the head, which eventually the head must have rolled again further. And Maya too, ran back after the head.

    "Quick fetched ...!! Hurry back ...!! Come ..., hurry ...!! Don't let that head disappear ...!!" so shouted the guards who requested that Maya immediately take the rolling head. Surely the guards and executioners who were there, no one thought that it was a Maya charade.

    Maya also immediately ran back to chase the head that continues to roll. But again, after Maya was close to the head, his legs actually kicked back the head that was under it. And surely, the head was rolling even tighter and further from its place.

    Yes, Maya keeps chasing him. And of course, it's just pretending. Because actually, Maya ran to get to the beach. And now, Maya has seen the sea water that hit the edge. Maya is close to the beach. Maya can't wait to run to the beach.

    "Ow ....!" Maya screaming.

     All of a sudden, the head that was tied with chains, and was bobbing at Maya's feet, bit Maya's calf. Maya who is in pain due to the bite of a small demon who apparently felt adrift while being carried away by Maya, he was angry and immediately bit her.

    Maya fell down immediately. Maya falls. Maya is entangled by a chain of demonic heads, Maya lying on the sandy beach. Maya is helplessly swept by the waves that come repeatedly bathed her body.

    Then ..., what is the fate of Maya next? Is he safe?
