Indigo Plantation Sugarcane
defy death

it's been three days and three nights long. Calista closed his eyes.

it has been three days, too, Pakpe . Aldi ,Agnes and Andrew sat down, fasting and praying . next to Calista's body.

the eyes are blackened due to lack of sleep.

Pakpe, Andrew , Aldi and Agnes never once left fasting and sleep. For three days also did not leave Calista in the least.

but there hasn't been the slightest change in Calista. for some reason he keeps his eyes closed

Seen Agnes as she closed her eyes praying, she seemed to begin to despair. took a deep breath . very long

"Don't despair." said Pakpe tampa opened his eyes.

as soon as kept on doing by the four people.tampa stop praying and fasting.hope a miracle came. while Calista still at home closed his eyes.

The sky this afternoon looks cloudy, but not a single drop of water has fallen to this earth.

Pakpe, Andrew, Aldi and Agnes opened their eyes at once as they felt Calista's footwork.

"So I felt the movement of Calista's feet .is this just my imagination?" asked Agnes looking at the three people before her.

"Is this just my hallucination alone." holding Calista's feet in disbelief.

"i feel it too." said Pakpe, Andrew and Aldi together.

"You are the same ???

I thought it was just me." looked at the husband.

"But why haven't you opened your eyes, sir???.." staring at the child just his puppet, holding the clear water down.

Aldi just gently stroked the wife's shoulder.

"What's going on with my son." Aldi's inner as he took Calista's hand and examined her pulse.

yes, his pulse is very weak.

Andrew just looked at three other people of that generation

he himself confused what to do.this is all beyond his expectations as a soldier.

wait and wait no change. Calista just kept quiet he still closed his eyes.

"Pap...." can't talk just look at the husband with ‐ glass eyes .

Aldi just bowed his head lethargic, hoping there was a way out for the child's misery.

"Is there no way out sir ? ask Aldi.

"Calista has entered another realm.

"wouldn't want to, we'd have to go to that cave.

come on.." take Pakpe walking out, stalled when he heard them say.

"Haa....

another realm ???.." cried restrained Andrew , Aldi and Agnes.

"Yes, there's no time..

who wants to come with me?." asked Pakpe once again settled the other three people of that generation.

"i went along." Andrew , Aldi and Agnes volunteered.

"what are we doing there, sir?." asked Aldi , Agnes and Andrew once again together.

"We have to solve all of this, from there the origin of the problem.

but.."pakpe hesitantly looked at Calista and looked back at Calista's parents.

"Ta..but what sir?." asked Aldi and Agnes nervously once again in unison, afraid of hearing the bad possibility happening . whereas Agnes seemed to tremble withstanding the cry . dwngan patiently Aldi stroked the shoulder of the wife gave strength.

"Who's keeping Calista here?...

if anything happens to her how ? ." asked Pakpe once more.

"Indeed to.why sir ? asked plain Agnes with a paled face.

Aldi, Agnes and Andrew looked at each other .

Andrew scratched his head that did not itch, he wanted to come along, heard it all fell silent to be all wrong, but indeed someone must stay here.

"If I think it's better Andrew and his mama Calista are on guard here because it's very dangerous for a woman to come with us" Pakpe said.

"Ta.but.." facial. Agnes looks flushed holding back tears.

"Mam has a point also according to Pakpe . Calista needs mama more here ". Aldi tried to persuade his wife.

"Well, if so ". He bowed while taking a deep breath.

"Well if so ." Pakpe stood up and went out towards the backyard .

"Pakpe what do you want back om?.: asked Andrew curious.

Aldi did not answer he just shook his head, the tip of his eye saw the movement of Pakpe's body.

the look he took back a branch of Moringa leaves. which indeed Aldi had the tree in the backyard. because he thought it was useful for medicine.

While carrying one stalk of moringa leaves, pakpe sat down next to Calista and placed the moringa leaves next to Calista.

then put the book on Calista's head.

"You who wait sit and pray, no matter what happens, do not hear or see.

be careful." said Pakpe at length.

Pakpe and Aldi stand up. Agnes followed him.

"Once again I remember to always pray and if one day Calista's body shakes, you hit slowly with the moringa leaves" said Pakpe reminded as he walked out.

Andrew nodded his head.

"Room .." Agnes held back tears.

"Pray mam, don't worry for sure we go home with nothing less and managed to bring our child home" said Aldi stroked Agnes' head and kissed her forehead . then walked out following Pakpe. he did not want to wait long.afraid to cancel his departure, because seeing Agnes already wanted to cry.

did not want his steps to stop, when he saw the wife crying still strengthen themselves to follow Pajpe . he was more worried about his only child puppet.

it's not a pity with the wife, but Calista needs her more at this time.

because he had a lot of faith with Andrew.

****

"I leave my wife, whatever happens, keep praying and remind my wife not to be weak." ycap Aldi held Andrew's shoulder.

"Remember me no matter what happens .don't flinch and pray" Pakpe told Andrew and Agnes.

Aldi and Pakpe turned around and walked around.

moved, Andrew slowly nodded his head as he looked at Pakpe and Aldi who had walked out.

heavier than the task on the battlefield.

Walking in a hurry Pakpe and Aldi approached the cave.

"where's the cave sir ." Aldi looked to the right and left . he did not see the cave.

Pakpe did not say a word. he scooped Aldi's face.

"I.that's his cave sir ." Aldi is shortest when there is a cave in plain sight .

"I. it's ." Can't believe his vision.

"It's the cave where they nest ." Pakpe peeked his eyes.

"we go in the middle, sir ????...

"Yes.."jawap Pakpe flat.

do you have any doubts?." asked Pakpe to Aldi.

"no sir, just..." Aldi began to doubt.

"now you want to enter or not, if in doubt I myself will enter, if not come with me. don't be too long. Remember your son was in danger?." said Pakpe asked Aldi for certainty.

Aldi..

"why should I doubt ???..

why.why.

"what am I afraid of "the inner Aldi inwardly gazed at the cavern.

question after question filled Aldi's head.

Realizing Aldi was silent Pakpe turned his head.

"Why ???...

"Are you afraid???.." asked Pakpe staring at Aldi intensely.

"Yes.the more we go in, you'll know how in it.

"again I asked, do you still want to come ? pakpe asked when he saw the doubt on Aldi's face.

"what's in there, sir ??." Aldi asked between curiosity and fear.

"there is another world where we have to pray a lot.

don't look back and hear if there's anything against you or an impossible event" Pakpe said at length.

"a little while sir !!!!!...

"tadi Pakpe said Calista was in another realm, meaning sir I do not understand, while I know Calista at home?" asked Aldi.

since then he wanted to ask . but did not want to make his wife cry.

"Yes.today the spirit of Calista is in the place of the wolves, even if his body is at home . Calista children who they think fragrant, . useful to multiply the serugala.

"Haaa... ". Aldi glared at Pakpe's story.

"Yes therefore, we must immediately save your son ." Pakpe looked back to the front.

"how???

stop looking for your son or keep going.

I don't want you to be surprised if you're inside, if you're afraid or hesitant.let me alone solve all of this ?." said Pakpe not want to scare nakuti but based on what he saw through his bathin eyes.

"Why did I become like this" Inner Aldi closed his eyes.

"how ???...

"Keep sir.I must not hesitate.for the sake of my son ". strengthen himself.

"Good.remember whatever happens keep going and pray.don't look right and left" Pakpe once again reminded.

"Let's walk while praying in the heart ".Pakpe stepped up for sure.he should arrive soon and save Calista.

if it wasn't them who took who else ??

if not quick to act. Calista's safety is threatened.conscious immediately Aldi follows Pakpe from behind.

entering the cave. getting into Pakpe and Aldi began to feel dark and stuffy . and the oxygen was getting thin.

"Pull the breath slowly sir after that we have to endure until we find the light.

getting deeper into the , start to smell unpleasant. The smell is very pungent to stifle the chest.

"pray sir, let's get louder the prayer...".Pakpe held Aldi's hand so he was strong.

at first glance it will look funny. two men _ adult men walk holding hands.

maybe if not in this condition, they will be laughed at.

"I hold your hand so that it is not far from me and do not let go of what happened" Pakpe said firmly.

surprised by Pakpe 's remarks, Aldi was stronger to grip Pakpe's hand.

"I must be strong for the sake of my son." Aldi said in his heart, stronger pray .

pungent foul odor, lost with the smell of flower fragrance.

"Pakpe is like the smell of flowers...

"Sst..", closing his mouth and nose.See that Aldi realized something was wrong, immediately he followed Pakpe.

keep walking..walking..walking non-stop, until . seen a light.

The closer the light gets to the eye. To make Pakpe and Aldi peeked eyes.

by forcing the eyes, walk continuously adjusting the light .until they get used to that light.

walk on, until Pakpe and Aldi again smell the seven-figure flower.

until it reached a large and endless space..

"Why do we have to cover our noses and mouths, sir ? ". asked Aldi while reaching into his pocket.

in his pocket he had prepared a mask.

without waiting for an answer Aldi immediately put on a mask and give it to pakpe.

"fortunately you brought this mask." said Pakpe.

following wearing a mask.

tjba _ arrived

Pakpe..please me.please me.please me.sound a whimpering voice.

"don't mind ". ucao Pakpe while jerking Aldi's hand.

"Don't look." half-whispered and twisted Aldi's face violently.

"sorry sir.." Aldi's chest pounded.

****

Aldi felt bad for Pakpe because he had stretched.fortunately Pakpe quickly turned Aldi's face.

he was surprised to hear a mother scream for help, but no one helped him.Bahlan Pakpe forbid to see him.

back walk....

just a few steps they walk.look a mother who wants to cut her child with a machete.

like he was cutting chicken.

"Sir...

Pakpe simply shook his head while glaring sharply.

"if not strong . survive because we can not get out of here. one way _ one we face them. remember my message earlier ." Pakpe.

Aldi took a deep breath while stroking his chest, he had already entered inside and would not be able to get out. somehow the way out was meant by Pakpe.

he was a little astonished as to why he had become such a coward.

trying to be strong and not afraid, Aldi again walked after Pakpe...

It looked like a royal entrance gate.a large, towering building.

which makes Pakpe and Aldi confused why there are no guards.

Aldi looked to the right and left . see if anyone or anyone living creatures that approximately threaten himself and Pakpe.

"Sst..remain praying and beware ." Pakpe jerked Aldi's hand, still holding Aldi's hand as if he did not want to let go.

hand that will not be released Pakpe . deliberately Pakpe holding the hand of Aldi so that he can stop Aldi. if Aldi is not caught off guard.

by jerking Aldi's hand like just now

Got a reprimand from Pakpe , aldi bowed his head and returned to praying.

re-smelled the fragrance of seven-figure flowers.

makpe noiseless back jerking Aldi's hand to follow him back.

Slowly Pakpe opened the gate.

kreeaaackd.....

like in the real world, if a door with rusty hinges will sound like that.

arrived _ arrived...

ning..gong.

at once Pakpe's face paled.

with his left hand on his chest and right hand jerking Aldi's hand.

he lowered his head in prayer.

know if it's sign language from Pakpe. Aldi followed him, although he was a little confused to hear the sound of footsteps of a horse and a carriage.

ning..y...ning...gong.

the sound of horse footsteps.

a royal chariot passed in front of Pakpe and Aldi stood.

as if 5i had told him to stop, _ arrived the horse stopped . exactly where Pakpe and Aldi were standing.
