BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 180: KANG ZAKI TO IDOL ISLAND

    As Kang Zaki had earlier said, he wanted to come to Pulau Berhala, once called by Podin, and was also shown his place by his coworkers in the building project. Certainly, Kang Zaki wanted to obtain the treasure from the idol Island. He wants to be a rich man. Kang Zaki did not want to be a person who continuously suffered in poverty. He wants to change destiny.

    That morning, without saying goodbye to his wife, without permission from the building foreman, with determination, Kang Zaki took a bus towards Lake. He will look for an island called Pulau Berhala. The island where there is in his imagination is the place of the existence of wealth, as he heard from the story of Mr. Podin who had dipped. The island that has been shown the direction of its place by his friends in the building project. Certainly with high expectations.

    The journey starts from his village in Parung, taking village transportation to the Bogor terminal. Then from the Bogor terminal take a bus to the Bandung department. From Bandung take another bus to Karangnunggal Tasikmalaya. Next, Kang Zaki must take an angkudes to the Karang Tawulan Beach area. Eight more hours of travel by Kang Zaki, from terminal to terminal, from taking angkot, buses to angkudes.

    After arriving at the Karang Tawulan Beach tourist area, Kang Zaki wondered, where exactly is Berhala Island.

    "Sorry, Mr .... If you want to go to Behala Island, take the boat from where, sir ...?" asked Kang Zaki at one of the entrance counter guards at Karang Tawulan Beach attractions.

    "No ship went there, Mas .... If the rent to the fisherman may be someone who wants to deliver ..." replied the ticket officer who was questioned.

    "Ooo .... Where is the place, Mr ...?" ask Kang Zaki again.

    "Si Mas, just walk east .... Just keep going .... Because there are no vehicles going there .... Later Anjeun (you language Tasikmalaya) will meet the fishing village. Try asking the fishermen who were there, maybe someone would take Anjeun there" said the ticket maker again.

    "Thank you, Mr. .." said Kang Zaki who was relieved to get the answer. Of course, he has a clear and definite explanation.

    So Kang Zaki immediately left the place, and stepped foot toward the place indicated by the person being questioned earlier. And not long after, Kang Zaki arrived at a village that generally looks a bit rundown. Well, the village is not so much his house, but in front of him, many hanging fishing nets. This must be what is meant by the fishing village by the carcass in the tourist attraction earlier.

    As soon as he saw the people in the village, Kang Zaki immediately met. And of course, he asked to rent his ship.

    "Sorry, Mr .... Want to ask .... If I want to rent a boat to take me to Pulau Berhala, what can I do, sir ...?" kang Zaki asked the old man who was repairing his nets.

    The middle-aged man silently did not answer. Only his eyes were staring at Zaki's entire body, from top to bottom. As if investigating, who is the man who wants to go to the Island of Idols?

    After a long time looking at Kang Zaki, the man replied, "Anjeun is a brave man .... If I don't dare .... Just try to find someone else who dares to drive you ...."

    "Good, Sir .... Thank you." replied Kang Zaki who then left the man who was repairing the mesh in front of his house, then stepped over to other people in the fishing village.

    "Sorry, Mr .... Want to ask .... If I want to rent a boat to take me to Pulau Berhala, can you ...?" kang Zaki asked, this time to the middle-aged man who was repairing his rope rope.

    "I think that if the people in this village, no one dared to go to the island of Berhala" replied the middle-aged man who was still holding the mine.

    "Sorry, Mr .... Approximately, to whom can I ask for help to be delivered to Pulau Berhala?" ask Kang Zaki who would like to know the explanation of the man.

    The man shook his head. The hostess he did not know, or at least did not want his neighbors to go to the Island of Berhala.

    "Try Salira go to the village there .... It is the closest village to Pulau Berhala. Maybe someone is willing to deliver Salira ..." said the middle-aged man, who certainly subtly refused the intention of Kang Zaki who asked to deliver to Pulau Berhala.

    "Thank you, sir .." said Kang Zaki, who then walked eastward, as indicated by the fisherman he asked earlier.

    Kang Zaki's feet continued to walk down the path by the beach. Quite far away, to leave the fishing village, had even reached a quiet place, no house, no people. Due to the long journey of the legs, of course, sweat poured from his entire body, Kang Zaki felt exhausted.

    As far as the eye could see, Kang Zaki saw a very beautiful stretch of beach. And in front of him, Kang Zaki's eyes looked at a lush green island. Of course it is the Island of Berhala, as indicated by the ticket maker in tourist attractions. Of course, he immediately approached, wanted to throw himself into the sea water that threw the waves to the beach, and wanted to know the island of Berhala clearly. Surely Kang Zaki also wants to enjoy the beauty of the beach with a beautiful stretch of sand and waves with clear water. Moreover, the day is already afternoon, when the sun will sink, the atmosphere is very beautiful and charming.

    "Hoei ...! Want to come to Pulau Berhala what not ...?!"

    Kang Zaki immediately turned his head, hearing the screams of people offering to come to the Island of Berhala. And of course Kang Zaki was shocked, because suddenly beside him was perched a boat, which at the stern stood a man with clothes that were like a cloak covering his entire body. At the head is covered by a hat of very wide bamboo webbing. His hand was holding a bamboo pole, which was used to run his boat.

    Of course, Kang Zaki immediately stood up and was overjoyed. The goal is to go to Berhala Island. Kang Zaki immediately stepped closer to the boat.

    "Yes .... I want to go ...!" so shouted Kang Zaki who immediately jumped into the boat.

    Without saying another word, the person who was running the boat immediately pushed the pole. And the boat went straight to the island across, which is Pulau Berhala. And once the oar, the boat that was boarded by Kang Zaki, had reached the opposite shore.

    Kang Zaki got off the boat. He immediately set foot on the island's beach. And of course, the boat that was boarded earlier immediately left Zaki. Kang Zaki did not have time to say thank you, but the boat had disappeared.

    "It's okay .... The important thing is that I have arrived at Pulau Berhala." muttered Kang Zaki who immediately stepped foot into the island.
