Joe William
Down mountain
The next day at Tengku Mahmud's house in Kuala Nipah, some people were sitting and discussing something.
There are Tigor, Monang, Ameng, Ucok, Jabat, Andra, Sugeng, Thomas, Acong and Embul. Also seen Tengku Mahmud and Joe sitting side by side.
Seen from their faces this seemed to be very serious about discussing something that seemed very important.
"Chairman. Your father's business opponent is setting up a plan to track your whereabouts and wants to collude with the remnants of the organization's skull gang and black cat gang to fight the power your father has."
"Even if this is just our thinking, but seeing how they play by recruiting many people who oppose your father, it can be guessed that their arrival here must be to increase their strength. Today, war can happen anywhere. Is the chairman ready to face all possibilities?" Tigor asked Joe who was currently sitting next to Tengku Mahmud while he was grinning.
"I'm always ready with all the possibilities uncle. When you say this, I feel itchy." Answer the young man.
"Where did you find out about their arrival in this country Gor?" Ask Tengku Mahmud to know.
"Yesterday the great sir called me. He gets a report from a spy they placed in MegaTown that those Honor Miller men controlled by a man named Paul are already moving into the country right on the day the Great Lord leaves This Kuala Nipah." Answer Tigor.
"Hmmm... Looks like there's going to be another war like seventeen years ago." Tengku Mahmud said as he stroked his white beard.
"Look. I asked for advice from you to deal with this problem. Because according to Mr. Jerry's message, he wants the roots of this plot broken before sprouting." Said Tigor asking for the opinion and advice of the old man who was highly respected by his.
"Hm... I'd like to ask you. Where is Karman?" Tengku Mahmud asked as he stared intently at Tigor's face.
Plaque!
"God. Woefully me. Why did I forget my much-mighty friend?" Tigor said while slapping his own eel.
"That's your stupid thing. Once out of prison, you don't remember your best friend at all." Tengku Mahmud said while scolding Tigor.
Hearing this scolding, all of them who were there could only look at each other with gazes that were difficult to decipher.
"Do you know where Karman is?" Tigor asked his nine companions.
"I heard no more of this news from Karman. Last time I heard, he was at the Cape of Corals. But if you met him last time, it was about 17 years ago." Answer Monang.
"real bang. Karman disappeared after that." Acong said, adding.
"alright. Now we share the task. Find this Karman wherever he is. It's possible that he disappeared in fear of the case that befell me and Marven. Because after all, he's known as Marven's confidant." Tigor.
"That's what he meant. Let this Karman come back into your eyes and ears there. With this Karman-like man in the enemy camp, it's all gonna be easier for you to plan things."
"Now go and meet that Karman. Don't you linger in my house. I'm lazy to get involved in your business. Frankly, I don't want to take people's lives anymore. When will I repent if trouble comes because of you." Said Tengku Mahmud make them one by one get off the terrace of the Tengku Mahmud's house.
"Chairman. To not involve the people you care about here, you should stay in the city of Kemuning." Tigor said.
Joe, don't answer Tigor's call right away. Instead of looking first towards Tengku Mahmud to ask for an opinion.
"Then what about Grandpa here?" Ask Joe with a heavy heart.
"Soundless child. Do you think your being here will ease my burden? You'll make it harder for the people of this village later. It's a pity that the Tiara family will be involved in this matter of yours. So go and do not go back to Kuala Nipah."
"After your business is done, you go straight back to Starhill. Later if there is a long life, we can meet again."
"Remember my message Joe. Do not lightly hand to anyone. Let you be considered a fool rather than a clever doubt when you don't understand anything."
"Remember my message first too. Starting something has to be from the bottom. You should be able to utilize the resources that are around you first. Use your brain instead of your muscles!" The Tengku Mahmud Message.
"Joe will remember everything that grandfather ordered." Joe said as he kissed the old man's hand and rushed into his room and packed all his belongings.
Now it appears Joe came out of the house carrying a backpack and hugging a carved wooden crate.
"Joe pamit cake. If I don't meet Tiara, please Grandpa tell her that I'm already in Kemuning." Joe said with watery eyes.
"Go my granddaughter. It is time we parted. Remember to continue to learn and hone your skills, especially in the science of medicine. Because the main asset for living humans is health. When the body is healthy, then it can do good. From a healthy body will arise a healthy idea anyway. Now let's go!" Tengku Mahmud said as he turned his face into the house because he could not see the departure of Joe who had been with him for three years in the rickety house.
"Grandfather!"
"Go say me!" Benteng Tengku Mahmud.
"Huhuhoo..."
Joe could only cry and immediately went down the wooden stairs and then stepped beside the pond owned by residents where cars owned by Tigor and his friends were parked.
Joe who really wants to say goodbye to Tiara undoes his intention because he does not want later pain once again slices his heart.
He quickly pulled out a book and wrote a letter to the girl.
"Remember Tiara! If I stay away from you, it's a sign that I love you." Like that one of the words that Joe wrote on the piece of paper.
After he folded the paper earlier, he immediately gave it to Ameng.
"Uncle Ameng. Uncle don't go back to Kemuning. Wait until you meet Tiara and hand this letter to her." Joe said.
"Good Chairman." Ameng replied while looking down respectfully.
Shortly after, Tigor's party, who brought their leader, soon passed away from the village of Kuala Nipah to the city of Kemuning.
Now the only one left is Ameng to wait for Tiara and hand over a letter from Joe in accordance with the command of the chairman.
Seriate...
