Firefields
Looking for Yudha Farm Burners

HOPE Sapri. School is not closed. Fires in Yudha clove fields are not an important issue for teachers so they have to close schools. However, the fire became a hot conversation among students and teachers at the school.

“Who did it?”

“How dare that person!”

“Be careful, after this Yudha can do more cruel to us.”

“Don't Mat Yusi do it?”

“We'd better pretend we don't know.”

“The problem is getting longer!”

That's the way a lot of talk is. Someone is whispering. Someone talked about it joking. There are also those who try to be indifferent and do not want to talk about it. It was Sapri CS.

From earlier, Sapri was more busy withstanding sleepiness during lesson time. He repeatedly evaporated. It was also felt by Ikbal, Sidik and other football team friends. They were already impatiently waiting for the hour-break bells to ring.

If only the miracle existed. Sapri just wants to ask, school hours are fast.

“Do not sleep, Sapri!” tegur Sawitri surprised him. The students in his class looked towards Sapri whose face looked disheveled.

“Wash your face there!” Sawitri Order. “You too, Ikbal and Sidik, from earlier I noticed you were just busy yawning. What did you guys do last night so sleepy?” tegur Sawitri's.

“Ticking cloves, Mom,” Shidik santur in a state of decreased consciousness.

“Night-night picking cloves? Where are the cloves? Don't make it up to you!”

Sapri and Ikbal instantly regained consciousness. Sawitri's question made their drowsiness disappear in an instant.

“Reason for picking cloves, whereas playing gaple, Mom,” said Sapri chimed in.

Sawitri noticed Sapri and immediately clarified Sidik. “Which is right, main gaple or picking cloves?”

Ikbal and Sapri immediately threatened Sidik with sharp eyes. “Aui only, Dik,” Ikbal said.

For a moment, Sidik realized his mistake. As a result of sleepiness, he almost misspoke. “Ehh, yes, Mom. Main gaple,” replied Sidik chuckled while rubbing his hair.

“Mom doesn't like it when you lie. Yes, Already! Go to the bathroom there. Wash your face,” Sawitri orders accompanied by the laughter of the other students.

Sapri, Ikbal and Sidik went straight to the bathroom. They had elbowed each other when passing the classroom door which made the laughter of other students increasingly boisterous because of the actions of the three of them.

In the Jauhari field, Wijan seemed busy working to plant vegetable seeds assisted by several villagers. Meanwhile, Mat Yusi was forced to stop his activities when he found out that Dul Sanif was coming.

“Don't be here. I don't want them to know much about our plans,” take Mat Yusi to the reservoir.

Wijan watched the two of them as he moved away from the fields. He was curious about the man who was with Mat Yusi. While continuing to plant seedlings, Wijan occasionally watched them from a distance.

“While, there must be something they keep secret. I had to tell Jauhari about the man,” thought Wijan to meet Jauhari after his work was done.

“You must have known Yudha's clove field was burning at dawn?”

“No way I don't know. From here very visible blaze,” replied Mat Yusi.

“You did it?” ask Dul Sanif without further ado.

Dul Sanif has indeed seen his own fields Jauhari at this time. His condition was already much different when he came a few days ago. He also saw some people helping out.

“Yudha accuses you of the culprit. He said, if not Mat Yusi, surely Jauhari,” said Dul Sanif imitating Yudha's speech this morning.

“I'm sure Jauhari won't do that. He's a good man. In fact, even when the field was burning, he remained calm and did not demand a reply,” replied Mat Yusi.

“Actually, I think the same. If you don't do it, then who?”

“I don't know. There may be others who do not like Yudha.”

“You know anyone who doesn't like Yudha?”

“What is that question. Everyone in this village does not like Yudha. In fact, the clove skulls from various cities who come here also do not like him.”

Dul Sanif gradually collected information that he did not really need to do. However, Yudha's words this morning disturbed her greatly. If, Yudha is still bound to this place, then his plan will be increasingly realized, even failed.

“Among them all, who do you think has such a grudge with Yudha that she should retaliate in such a way?”

“I don't know. During here, I did not even deal with all of them,” replied Mat Yusi.

“I just wanted to tell you. If this matter is not resolved, Yudha intends to stay in this place longer. That is, our plans and agreements yesterday can fail,” explained Dul Sanif why he should help Yudha in this matter.

“I really don't know. Certainly, Jauhari and I were not the ones who burned the clove fields of Yudha. We've all been here since yesterday. Just ask them if you don't believe!” sahut Mat Yusi's.

“Is it possible that one of the middlemen or even they all agreed to do together?”

“You can investigate it yourself. They are scattered in several cities. It's in Pelaihari. Banjarbaru and also in Banjarmasin.”

Dul Sanif thought for a moment. He was looking for ways to gather as much information as possible. Not only with Mat Yusi, but also Jauhari and the middlemen.

“I think this way, lest anyone take the opportunity to pit the sheep between you, Jauhari and Yudha after the fire yesterday. I didn't accuse you, I even believed you weren't the culprit. But now Yudha accuses you. That is, the man's plan succeeded in wanting to pit the sheep.”

“Your opinion is very reasonable. So, what's in it for them or people who complain to us?”

“Isn't revenge not for profit? Only satisfaction when knowing his opponent lost!”

“Continue, how should I?”

“I'm not sure about my plan either. Yudha right now must be busy planning to harass you.”

“I'm not afraid. If he dares to touch Jauhari, this time I will finish him off. If necessary, until death.”

“That's what I'm afraid of. Our original plan was in vain,” said Dul Sanif did not want it to happen.

“I don't care. As long as I'm still here, then it won't stay silent if something happens with the people around me!”

“Do not emotion first. What if I find the three of you so that this matter can be quickly resolved? From there Yudha will know you are not the culprit and there is no need to take excessive action.”

“No need to be Deeply involved. Let me meet him,” pinta Mat Yusi.

“Do not. This time he has to come. Do not let Yudha still suspect Jauhari as the culprit and use you as a shield.”

“Then, I try to tell Jauhari. If he is willing, we will come to Yudha's place as soon as possible.”

Before Dul Sanif left, they shook hands. Without them realizing it, not only had Wijan noticed them since then, but there was someone else who was sneaking around watching the two of them and immediately left when Dul Sanif left Mat Yusi.
