after a while, Joni sees Rudi sitting on a roadside bench and approaches him.
''hey. kak Rudi.. This I bought iced tea earlier'' said Joni while handing over the iced tea he brought.
''wah. thanks Jon'' said Rudi while reaching for the iced tea that was thrust joni at him.
''jon..it seems like tonight is very late, we better rest first and we continue again tomorrow morning'' said Rudi.
''alright.. let our children rest first tonight yes'' said Joni With a smile.
the boy nodded, then stood up and followed Rudi and Joni who walked first.
''yes brother Rudi, did you make a place for us to rest tonight'' asked Joni while walking.
''he. he. of course but maybe not as luxurious as when we were in the forest hi.hi.'' said Rudi.
after a while Rudi stopped at a substation or guard post that had been modified by Rudi with the power of the ruler of his land
''let's go in'' said Rudi who walked into the post and was followed by Joni.
the five children were still standing in front of the substation and looking at each other, because this guard post was very small in size and could not possibly be enough for all of them.
''hey.. child, come in. It's late at night, tomorrow you brother wake up early in the morning.'' said Joni.
the five of them entered the post following the direction of Rudi and Joni. and when they got to their place they were shocked because suddenly the post so small inside was so spacious there was even a bed that was quite soft as well.
in the morning, Joni and Rudi woke up first and today Rudi must be at the military base of the southern city.
'' Jon.. Let's go to the military base of the Southern city, because this morning is the first day I began to serve as the ruling general'' said Rudi.
''well. hey... child.. let's get up.'' Joni said to the five children who were seen still sleeping.
in a short time, the five children had already woken up and started to approach Joni and Rudi.
''let's go'', Joni said to the five of them as she walked towards the city center and headed towards the military base of the Southern city.
on the way, it appeared a crowd of people were near the power pole and street lights.
''Jon do you know what's in there'' asked Rudi
''that's ''o, last night there were four people I shackled at the pole'' said Joni.
''ha.ha.ha.ha so yes. let it be. I will take care of it after everything is finished'' said Rudi as he continued walking towards the military base of the Southern city.
after approaching the base Rudi stopped and changed clothes in the ground using the power of the land lord, then walked back to the military base of the Southern city.
arriving at the guard post, the post guard who had obtained information from the center about the arrival of the new ruling general immediately saluted and opened the gate of the base. then there were four people who immediately approached Rudi who came and guided the activities to be done.
''welcome general Rudi, I am captain...''
said captain Biyang while saluting and followed by three others.
''well. state your names too'' said Rudi giving his order.
''I am captain mauulang''
''I'm captain Shinji''
I am captain sutut'' they said alternately.
''alright.. It seems you already know me, Oya captain Shinji please put them well, they are my family'' said Rudi as he walked back with three other captains.
''ready general'' said captain Shinji then swiftly directing Joni and five street children to a house of general service that has been prepared in advance.
''sorry deck, I cannot accompany you here.'' said captain Shinji.
''good captain, it's okay' said Joni with a smile.
''guard'' said captain Shinji calling the guard on duty, and the guard approached captain Shinji.
''ready captain'' said the guard while saluting.
''well.. deck... If you need anything, just tell this guard yes. I say yes first'' said captain Shinji as he walked back to the military headquarters.
''nah.. sister sister, now you are safe. take a shower first later brother to eat again.'' said Joni.
''tuh the bathroom over there'' said Joni while showing the bathroom location.
they follow what Joni asks, and immediately go for a bath.Joni turns into a bird and flies towards the city center. he planned to buy clothes and food for the five of them as well as him and Rudi.
after a while, Joni has returned, but the children have not finished bathing. Joni kept the clothes she had just bought in the front seat and went to the kitchen to make coffee, then returned to the chair in the front room.
''well.. just finished yes.., this is a dress for you guys. Change your clothes and come back here. there is something you want to ask you guys'' said Joni While offering new clothes that he bought.
''thank you, sis.'' they said as they grabbed the new clothes given Joni.
after everything was done, the five of them sat in the front seat with Joni. Joni who from the beginning had many questions felt relieved, because the child looked calmer.
''nah we better eat first yes.. brother has bought food, well let's eat'' said Joni who took a pack of rice he bought.
after they finished eating and sat down for a while, only Joni started her question.
''grandfather.. Try to know your name and age one by one'' asked Joni.
''my name is ''my age is 12 years''
''my name is alfons, I'm 12 years old''
''my name suli me 11 years''
''my name is 12 years old''
''my name hendi me 10 years'' said the five children alternately.
''yes.. do you still have parents.'' asked Joni again.
''yes our sister still has parents'' said Nina while bowed.
''then where are your parents.why are you treated badly by those four bad guys'' asked Joni again.
''let me tell you everything, because I am the first child that the four bad guys brought along, said Arya.
''hem.. alright, try telling Arya to big brother, '' said Joni while drinking his coffee.
then Arya told him all the events, and told Joni that they were not from this city, they got to the southern city because they were kidnapped from somewhere else, and brought to this city. Arya also said that she and Hendi are from the eastern country and her origin is from the city of lori and the city of flowers and suli comes from the central country of the city of stone. while Alfons from the western country of the series city.
joni who heard Arya's story felt shocked, it turns out that this child is a victim of human trafficking...
''oya. the name of Joni's sister, brother also from the eastern country of Soko village on the thumb island is also the same as you arya'' said Joni again.
hearing that Joni is from the same country and island Arya immediately rose to his feet and hugged Joni while crying bitterly... he always held back his tears because of the torture and harsh treatment even the slap of a blow was always received by them because their job was to steal.
Andien, raqi, moe and cai are also currently crying to hear the story of Arya, especially CAI because all this time he hates all humans without sorting out Milah.
''cry. deck.. forgive me for being late to know this.'' said Joni as she rubbed Arya's head that was crying so it happened.
meanwhile, the guard that captain Shinji had assigned to guard the residence of General Rudi was astonished to hear the child crying...
''huh... what should I do yes..why the child cries.'' thought the guard in his heart.
because the sound of the crying child did not stop, the guard finally knocked on the front door of the residence General Rudi.
