Fires in Yudha clove fields are known too late. At first, villagers saw smoke rising from a distance when they wanted to perform dawn prayers. No one expected the fire to occur in their area.
When the fire began to grow, then they realized that the distance of the fire was not far from the clove fields owned by residents. They also flocked and told each other, to come together to visit their respective clove fields.
Sapri and his friends had just finished tidying up the last clove sack behind his school. Their sweat seemed to be pouring out. From where they stood, the fires they created looked very pleasant.
“Shortly people will be busy looking for the source of the fire,”, said Ikbal.
“May school be closed today,” hope Sapri starts feeling tired. Since yesterday, he had only slept the same few hours. That was exhausting enough too. Not to mention since the early hours of this day back and forth pushing the cart.
“Now what are our plans?” ask Sidik.
“We should go home and act as if nothing happened,” Ikbal suggested.
They finally agreed to go home and would meet again at school.
“I'm sure, if the school stays in. We will all be cows in class,” Sapri said making them laugh.
“We should just replace the school bell with a new and better one. We can look for it in Pelaihari market,” Ikbal advice.
“I agree. As soon as we go for a walk celebrating our victory Yudha,” said Sapri.
“Taken a look at the Pelaihari girls, who knows if anyone can take home,” Sidik said with their laughter.
After all get ready to go home. Sapri approaches Ikbal and invites him to walk away from other friends. “I'm sure this is all your plan. Thanks, Bal!” said Sapri extending a hand to shake hands.
“One pain, all pain,” replied Ikbal welcome Sapri's hand. “I have a request. Return the Shidik to the attacker's position. I stay in the goal defense position only.”
Sapri took a deep breath. “I'm just grateful, but I'm not asking you to negotiate. You remain an attacker. That was my decision.”

Yudha was shocked from the bed when she heard the door being knocked very hard. He heard someone yelling to say his clove field was on fire. With a dull face, Yudha immediately got up to open the door.
“Whose fields are burning?” yudha said snapping.
“Our clove field, Sir!” his men were terrified.
“Clear talk. Where is our farm? When does it burn?” yudha again.
“Fields at the end after passing through the Village Reservoir. Estimated dawn was burning.”
“Who has gone to check there?” ask Yudha again.
“Not yet, Sir. All still waiting for command.”
Chief Yudha suddenly dizzy. Emotions overflowing. “In this situation still waiting for orders. You're all fucking morons!” Yudha then went out of the house. All his men were seen gathering.
“Plakkk...!” Yudha slapped one of the leaders among them.
“All go now. Collect information. Don't come here again if you don't get anything. Where's Dul Sanif?” yudha shouted furiously.
After ordering his men to go inspect the fields, Yudha headed straight for Dul Sanif's room.
He kicked the door of the room repeatedly. “Build you, Dul Sanif. Basic old bandot!” caci Yudha was impatient.
When the door opened, Yudha immediately attacked Dul Sanif. “Quick get ready. Someone burned my clove fields. This must have been Jauhari or Mat Yusi!”
Dul Sanif rubbed his eyes. “Know for yourself, right. How does it feel if your clove field burns?” Dul Sanif immediately took the towel and went to the bathroom.
Yudha was not happy to hear such an answer. He then went to his room to get ready to invite Dul Sanif to see his burning clove fields.
His emotions immediately rose when he saw Dul Sanif actually relax making a glass of coffee. “No coffee this morning. We're leaving now!” take Yudha impatiently.
“Fields are already burning. Your men must have ordered you to go there. So, why do you bother to go there. Just wait for the information here?”
“However we should see the condition of that field!” force Yudha.
“For what? You will sell everything too! We better talk about the mining land plan while waiting for a report from your men.”
Yudha was upset to see Dul Sanif stay with his stance not to go to the fields. “There is no mining business before I know who dares burn my clove fields.”
“What good is it to know or not know who burned your clove fields?” sahut Dul Sanif with ease.
“That means they're looking for trouble with me. If this is the way, I will not leave this place,” threatened Yudha.
“Don't be rash to make a decision. Looks like you are not willing to completely leave this place,”, said Dul Sanif.
“That's my business. However, today's events will not let me. This must have been Jauhari and Mat Yusi. I told you, Mat Yusi can't just leave this place. He must want to take revenge for the clove field fire that he cared for so far.”
“You accuse Jauhari and Mat Yusi. In fact, there is no evidence and has not received a report from your men.”
“Who else would dare to do it if it wasn't the two of them? All this time only those who tried to block me!”
“Tersubject then. I'm not interfering with this. Just so you know, Mat Yusi has agreed with your plan. He had even prepared himself to leave this place.”
“Prepare yourself by burning my clove fields, right? So that he is satisfied to be able to avenge Jauhari.”
“Do not rush accusation. If your way is like that, it deserves a lot of commotion in this place,” accused Dul Sanif. “I imagine if your attitude is still the same when mining business later, Mat Yusi and I will definitely bother every day.”
“I'm not asking you to judge my every action. Whatever happens to you, it has become a risk,” said Yudha growled because Dul Sanif always tried to corner him.
“Then, just finish your own business in this place. I want to continue my sleep again,” said Dul Sanif left Yudha who was upset because he did not get support.
From inside the room, Dul Sanif heard the sound of broken glasses, slammed tables and chairs. Not long after, Dul Sanif peeked out from behind the door. He saw that Yudha was no more. He came out of his room and left Yudha's house to come to Mat Yusi.
“The more complicated the problem in this place. In this case, I have to finish in my own way,” bathin Dul Sanif began to get annoyed with Yudha's behavior. He hoped that Mat Yusi would not be seen in the clove fire in the Yudha field.
