BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 34: PICKING UP THE KIDS

    It's early morning. Podin who managed to get out of the Island of Berhala, which was ushered by the boatman with a headless body, eventually returned to the mainland. Of course, he was very happy and happy, because he could be free from the dangers that befall him. And he will certainly go to the tourist attraction Cipatujah Beach, because Podin must take his car parked there.

    But to return to Cipatujah Beach, Podin waited for the sun to rise, in order to see the path crossed. And also so that there are already angkitans passing on the highway. Podin had to walk ahead of the beach where he was escorted down by the boatman, heading to the highway. Indeed, from the beach, to go to the highway there is actually no road. Only the shrubbery is trampled, until it can be passed by the foot of Podin who crosses. Luckily there are grass-finding prang that often mengabit the place, so that people can pass. At least, Podin must ride angkot first to get to the tourist attraction of Cipatujah Beach. A place that is very far from its existence, and of course it takes a long time to reach his car parked in a tourist attraction.

    Of course, for Podin, the intention is to be able to get wealth without bothering, if only walking for about a kilo is certainly not a problem. For him, who had walked many times towards that place, he was used to walking all the way to the highway. And Podin was immediately walking from the beach to the highway.

    With a slightly dull breath, finally Podin arrived at the highway. Then next, he intercepted and boarded a rural transport. Rural transportation that was boarded by Podin was directly running which will go to the terminal. It took me a while to get to the sub terminal. Then Podin who was on a mini transport, got off at the sub terminal. Next, Podin must take a small bus that leads to the tourist attraction area of Cipatujah Beach. It's gonna take a little longer. Finally, Podin arrived at the tourist attraction back. Time is already noon. Indeed, Podin had to come to that place to retrieve his parked car at Cipatujah Beach.

    At Cipatujah Beach, Podin had heard rumors about the disappearance of a tourist boat that drove its tenants to Pulau Berhala. Even those people also told how the fate of the unlucky shipbuilder was. Of course for Podin, he had no business with the man who rented his boat. He didn't want to know anymore about the man who was driving him. Podin did not want to know how the fate of the man who had rented the ship and drove himself into the Island of Idols. Yes, Podin himself actually does not know how the fate of the man. The important thing for him is, he can get out and survive from the Island of Berhala. And of course, Podin can go back to get his car. Podin took the car secretly, so that not many people know.

    Podin drove his car slowly, leaving the Cipatujah area. Because his stomach feels hungry, a day and night did not eat, then Podin then turned his car, move aside at the edge of the food stall. Yeah, Podin's gonna have breakfast at the diner on the side of the village.

    "Nasi rames, ma'am ..." so said Podin who asked the seller for breakfast at the food stall.

    "What's the drink ...?" ask the seller.

    "Hot coffee, ma'am." replied Podin.

    "This is the name, the side dish choose itself ...." The seller had also given a plate containing rames rice to Podin.

    Podin while standing received the dinner plate. Then his hand was swept fried chicken, to add to the side dish.

    "This is the coffee, Om.." a young woman gives coffee at the table where Podin eats.

    "Thank you .." said Podin, turning to the woman who delivered the coffee. So pretty. Young, as if not married. Maybe she's a virgin too. His body is still slim and crazy. White skin. Thick eyebrows. People said that if the woman had thick eyebrows, it must be delicious. Anyway pretty.

    Of course, once he saw such a beautiful woman, Podin immediately glanced continuously. Ordinary, men if they see the clear, surely his eyes immediately wide. Podin's eyes did not stop watching the food stall maid. His bad appetite immediately appeared in his mind.

    But suddenly, Podin's ears heard the words of the people in the stall. People are talking about the problem of Pulau Berhala. Yes, the people who served in the stall told about the story of the shipbuilder who disappeared on the island of Berhala. Of course, Podin immediately put his ears up, to listen to the stories of those people.

    "Yesterday, there was a boatman who was desperate to take tourists to the island of Berhala" said one of the people who started the story.

    "She's gone, yeah ...?" the others immediately asked. Of course, while sucking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

    "Hidden .... But haven't met." said another.

    "Say is dead .... Eaten with idols on the island." said his friend.

    "Makanya .... Don't you dare go to an idol island. Danger ..." said his friend.

    "Yes .... I know it is forbidden. I knew I couldn't get close. I still go there .... Yeah, that's the consequence. If it has been lost to the idol, who would blame ...?" other sahut.

    Podin could only remain silent. But he began to slowly chew his rice. Of course he wanted to know the news from the owner of the ship he rented. Therefore, at breakfast, Podin while occasionally glancing at the people who told the story. Listening to the chatter of the people who were in the stall.

    "That means the ship and the people didn't meet ...?" suddenly the rice seller's mother asked.

    "Yes not yet .... Yesterday his wife was crying ..." replied one of the worshippers.

    "In fact, he said, this is the story of the people who came looking, he said, his ship, which was boarded by people trying to get closer to the Island of Idols, was dragged by hundreds of mysterious hands that emerged from the sea, and wanted to sink the ship .... Lucky they can still save themselves ..." said another, who of course also heard stories from people who tried to find his lost friend.

    "Hc .... Lhah kok creepy like that ..." the rice seller's mother was sad to hear the story.

    "Yes .., yesterday I went there, his wife cried continuously ..." said another.

    "Eat him do not ever dare to approach the Island of Berhala .... Eaten by the devil the island's keeper knows the taste ..." said the rice seller's mother.

    "What's on Pulau Berhala ...?" Podin who had been silent from earlier, suddenly joined in asking, pretending not to know.

    "Well, Om.., horror .... The island is inhabited by idols who prey on those who dare to approach.." so replied one who was coffee.

    "Ooo ...." Podin pretended not to know.

    Podin finished his meal. And pay for the food. Then say goodbye. Not forgetting, Podin glanced at the pretty food stall waiter, twisting his eyes. Then he drove his car back.

    Next, Podin will rethink how he can come again to the Island of Idols to take the treasures that are there.

    As heard from the giant serpent waiting for the palace door, Podin remembered very well about the conditions for getting the treasure back. Well, the condition is to present the head of the human child to the ruler of the island of Berhala, at the night of the full moon. Of course, Podin will try to be able to return to the Island of Idols, by bringing offerings to the ruler. Yes, Podin will certainly seek and qualify it.

    Then, that morning Podin headed to the complex shop owned by his wife in the housing. Podin immediately stopped in front of the shop where his wife was selling. Yes, of course he will meet his wife and children. But of course this time the goal is no longer to take care of his children. No longer to give a living to his wife or children. Instead, Podin came to the shophouse, where his wife and children lived. Podin wants to pick up his son. Podin will take his children. Yes, Podin had intended to present his children to the ruler on the island of Berhala. Yes, as has been said by the keeper of Pulau Berhala, if Podin wants to take the treasure on the Island of Idols, he must present his favorite children.

    After parking his car in front of his wife's shophouse, then Podin directly out of his car, and immediately meet his wife who is still sitting at the cashier. Podin asked his wife.

    "Bus .... Isti .... Where are the kids?" podin asked his wife.

    "Come do not say greetings, just plain holy, like a thief. Kids go!" answered his wife with unsound words. Isti without the slightest expression, even though there is actually a sense of longing, there is a sense of kangen, there is a sense of wanting to re-engage with her husband. But she was already too irritated because she was constantly left behind by her husband.

    "Where to go?" podin asked his wife, who was certainly still trying to find his son. Because tonight is full moon night. The night he had planned with great anticipation.

    "Don't know ...!" answered his wife, who again of course with a sengol answer.

    "Loh ..., Mother how the hell ...?! Have a child go not know .... Later if your children are kidnapped by people, how ...? If your children are missing, how is ...? If your children go away and don't come home anymore, how about ...? said Podin who was certainly angry with his wife because of disappointment, he meant to look for his son but it turns out his son was not in the house all.

    "That father should think ...! Do you ever mind children ...?! The father never gave sangu to children ...?! The father never gave food to the children ...?! He was gone, married again, never came home, never nursed children, never cared for children, never gave children money, never gave a living, never paid for school, never paid for it, just come already angry ...! What kind of man are you ...?!" so said Isti who of course she was angry also when scolded by her husband, because all this time Isti had been pounding the bones alone, making a living to feed and the needs of her children, and, but still diomelin with her husband, still scolded by her irresponsible husband.

    Finally, of course, Podin lost because after being denied like that, Podin also felt that he was guilty because he had never taken care of his children and wife. But whose name is the eye of the heart of Podin is being blinded by the mind of a confused Podin, he must get his children to be taken to the Island of Berhala, to be handed over to the waiters of the Island of Berhala, to be, and of course his children will be offered as a sacrifice to get wealth, of course he still insisted to get his son.

    "Have ..., anyway now I ask ...! Where are the kids ?!!" said Podin who was preparing to climb the stairs, because he was sure that his son was on the second floor.

    "The kids are going ...! Kids playing to mall same guy boys ...! They are not in everyone's house. They were being invited to the mall ...! He said he'd be bought a new shirt by the man who invited him. Why yesterday when Lebaran you Lebaran came ...?! Why did you not meet the child yesterday ...?! Why did you not buy new clothes to children yesterday ...?! Even you forget all of us ..." so said his wife, who was certainly still irritated and angry with her husband.

    But Podin ignored his wife's words. Go straight up to the second floor. He will look for his son who usually plays or watches TV on the second floor. But again, Podin did not find his children in the room. His children are not there. Even in the room and on the playground everything is not there. The angry Podin, who was raging, he vented his frustration. The bed was ruffled. Lesehan place to watch TV is also ruffled. His son's study is also broken. Podin was annoyed because he did not find his son who of course that day he had to immediately bring the children to be invited away.

    Then Podin came back down. He met his wife again.

    "The children are taken where your mistress goes ...?! I will look for it ...! I'll bring the kids. I do not believe in Mothers who have given children to others, to other men ...! You must have married again ...! You must have tempted another man ...!! You already have another stash ...! Surely you have become a jerk of other men ...!! You cheap lady ...!! I'm not willing, those children should I bring ...!!" Podin was angry with his wife, and even had alleged that his wife must have kept another man, if his wife must have married again. He even accused his wife of being a cheap woman.

    "Oh my goodness, sir ...!! you accuse me of that ...?! Don't think, don't think of me as you ...!! Do not equate me with the woman you keep ...! I am not a cheap woman .... I'm not a sloppy woman like you keep that .... As you have made a mistress, as you have bought all kinds of things ...!! She's the ugly woman ...! Cheap woman ...! Women who do not know themselves ...! Women who snatch people's husbands ...!! I'm not like that .... I am a good person .... I am a good woman, I can take care of myself. Even I dare to slam my bones to finance my own children without expecting anything from you ...! Why are you coming here already angry at me ...?  Accusing me of the non-no ...?! Basic irresponsible men ...!!" so snapped his wife who was certainly angry when her husband accused her of being non-no.

    "But the reality ...?! Now where are the children ...?! Said you said that the boys were invited by the boys to go play .... Where is she ...?! Tell me, I'll go there ...! I'll find the man ...!" odin said that of course he was emotional when he heard his son invited by a man to go play.

    "Yes, it's all because of you ...! No one gives you clothes, no one buys toys .... Therefore, now your children when invited by a man, invited to go to the mall, invited to go to buy clothes, invited to go to buy toys, invited to go to eat, eat, why are you angry ...?! What is your business ...?! All this time what did you do ...?! You are only looking for money for your young wife ...! You are not responsible to your wife and children ...! Even you are willing to throw us out. You've hurt all of us .... Why now you come can only be angry ...?! If you are a good person, prove your kindness ...?! Show us .... Buy your children clothes, buy your children toys, give him money for everyday life, to pay for his school. Don't just be angry ...!" so said his wife who was certainly very upset with her husband, who was only always angry. And despite knowing that it was a sign that her husband today had nothing left, at most her husband had run out of money. That's why he was angry with his wife.

    Podin. He could not answer his wife's words. Especially he did feel that he was wrong because he did not buy clothes to his children yesterday. He did not buy clothes for his children. He didn't even give any money to his children. Of course his children must have asked about his father. Even Podin did not come home at all to visit his children. Podin could not answer anything. He could not say anything more to be angry with his wife. It is precisely now the opposite, Isti who is angry with her husband, irresponsible men, men do not know themselves, men who always ask for money when it comes.

    Isti who has been left to take care of his own child, would have felt that her husband who had the heart with his wife and children, it was, he would have thrown him out again if he had no money to live with his young wife. So Isti tried to ventured to expel her husband.

    "Now you get out of here ...! Get out of this shophouse ...! Don't be here ...! Disturbing people who want to buy ...!" Isti said that she threw out her husband.

    Finally, Podin came out of the shop. But he will still be looking for his son. Podin then went to his car, lived the car engine, then left the shop where his wife sold. Podin ran his car with gas. He speeds. The goal is to head towards the mall.

    Yes, the first time he took his son and wife to shop for clothes, he took her to the mall. So Podin who knew it, he also wanted to catch up with his children who he said were invited to go shopping at the mall. Podin went straight to the mall. He will find his son there.

    Podin could not wait to bring his children. But while in the mall, Podin who had entered the clothing sales, went around to and fro, but he did not find his children. Podin's been around looking for him everywhere. Nor did he find his three children there.

    So Podin tried to find a place to sell toys. Back Podin looked at the entire visitor. Podin went around and observed the people in the room, especially observing the small children in the mall, but in fact, up to half a day Podin did not also find his children. He did not see his children at all.

    Podin desperate. Then he went back to his car. Kenmudian returned to his car. Back to his wife's shop. Of course he thought that his children would have gone home, would have arrived at his home.

    And after arriving in front of the shophouse. After he parked his car in front of his wife's shop, when Podin got down, got out of the car, all of a sudden, Podin saw his children who came down from the city transportation.

    "Goddess ...!! Asri ...!! Antok ...!!" so shouted Podin who of course his heart was very happy, seeing his children, like the shoots loved, ulam arrived.

    "Mr .......!" the three children immediately ran to hug their father. Of course, because so long longed for his father who had never come home to see him.

    They hugged each other. His children wish the love of their parents. But Podin, actually would hurt his son. The old man knows no sins.

    In that despair, it turns out that Podin was able to find his son. Which of course soon the children will be taken to the island of Berhala.
