"You please find your own way to get to Pusako Villa before Dzuhur prayer!" Mrs Sri Latifah cried out amid the roar of helicopter engines.
"Look! My dear bro, your time is only now! No more time after today. So, now or never! If you were not present at Pusako before this Dzuhur, then you have handed Naya back to us. That is, your role is done. Responsibility for Naya we're taking over!" Afifah patted his brother's shoulder gently. Staring at him for a moment before then speaking slowly but deeply.
"Ask the fatwa to your heart. Because it never wrongly harbors taste!"
Kei was still imprinted in his standing place as slowly the roar of the swivel-winged aircraft's engine slowly drifted away from his hearing range.
"Need a help, bro?" The son was right next to Kei. The handsome man of Puan Sri's assistant stood with both hands behind his back.
"No! I can do it myself." Although it was only a short sentence, Kei knew where his cousin's question was going.
In Kei's hearing, the son's words even seem to underestimate him. It was as if Kei would not make it to Pusako's villa as the mother had said.
Kei clenched his fingers. Aough! That's enough!" He at least accepted being underestimated. There are only two people in this world who always consider him incapable, unworthy and irresponsible. Tan Sri Abdul Hamid and Puan Sri Latifah! Theothers? Don't try!
Regardless of Son's questioning gaze, Kei then turned towards his car. Issuing some equipment that Kei felt would be needed to accompany his trip.
The eagle-eyed man took off the white shirt that had been paired with darkbrown canvas pants, Naya's choice.
Now Kei only leaves a pressbody shirt that is also white. Kei's athletic body is now emblazoned with real.
Taking off his pantofel shoes, Kei then wears hiking shoes that he usually puts in the car. At first glance he glanced at Rollex in his left hand. At 10:15. Means he has enough time to be in time to arrive at villa Pusako.
Shortly after, Kei had already stepped towards the gate of Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest after previously stopping at a stall to buy two packs of fried beans and a bottle of mineral water.
The son who was still standing in his place just shook his head to look at Kei with a small smile. The stone head!
"Well Mrs Sri, the target is already on the way, it is estimated that it takes about forty minutes to an hour to get to the top". It was heard later that Putra was talking to Puan Sri Latifah through her mobile phone call.
Meanwhile Kei who has entered the Tanjung Tuan Recreation Forest began to explore the tropical forest. Not to forget he immediately activated the stop watch on his watch.
After walking for a while, Kei descended towards Monkey Bay. A group of monkeys greeted him there. Kei spread the fried beans he had bought at the stall.
For a moment the sturdy man stopped, enjoying the scene before him. Apes who fight to pick up peanuts.
Not until three minutes, the two packs of fried beans had left, accompanied by the monkeys starting to move away from where Kei stopped.
Kei continued his journey. The view then meets the beautiful beach of clear water.
Kei smiled slightly. As expected, the sea water is receding. Kei believes he is able to break the record on behalf of Ken, the younger brother he has not been able to break to this day.
The journey to Villa Pusako which borders the area of Batu Putih Hill can actually be reached through two roads, forest roads and beach roads.
But Kei deliberately took the beach road, a more challenging track for him.
This beach road track is the route that most often traveled Kei and Ken teenagers several years ago. They often fight fast to get to Villa Pusako, but unfortunately Kei always loses. The time he printed was always under his sister.
When in a relaxed condition while enjoying the beauty of the scenery around, the route of this beach road takes about an hour, considering the hikers have to climb a cliff that is quite steep to get to the top.
Last Ken managed to score twenty-four minutes and thirty-three seconds. While Kei? Fifteen seconds behind Ken. But this time Kei is determined to beat the record Ken ever made.
Kei started crawling up, climbing up that steep cliff. His hands and feet moved quickly, although no longer as agile as ten years ago but Kei still tried to get to the top as the target.
Kei's breathing slightly stiffened when he reached the top of Batu Putih Hill. His smile rose in between breaths that were still intermittent when he saw the Strait of Melaka that stretched beautifully before his eyes.
Not wasting time, Kei moved, running to the west side, towards the Villa Pusako area, owned by his family.
About five minutes of non-stop running, Kei had been standing at the entrance gate of the villa. His eyes moved down looking at the stop watch on his watch. S-hiit! Twenty-seven minutes to twenty-three seconds.
Let alone breaking Ken's record, even Kei lost far from his own achievement ten years ago.
Kei dropped his body on the green grass in front of the villa. His eyes closed tightly.
"Need a drink, bro?"
Kei flinched as the sentence dropped by his hearing. Ken?!
Ken who always recited the sentence while presenting Kei a bottle of cold mineral water many years ago.
With the position still lying on the grass, Kei slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze was slightly glared by the precise sunlight on his black bead.
A man was standing with a bottle of mineral water in his hand.
Kei got up with a salto motion, his hand immediately grabbed and firmly gripped the man's arm.
"Hey... What's up, bro? You kenape? I asked, need some water to drink, didn't I?" The son tried to release Kei's grip on his arm.
Kei blinked his eyes repeatedly before finally releasing the Son's arm. Stare at the man for a moment, then step into the villa.
Kei's tired body needs a splash of fresh water now, before he will be 'duck' said again by two women in the kingdom of Tan Sri Abdul Hamid who had arrived at Villa Pusako, the first, Puan Sri Latifah and Afifah bin Abdul Hamid. The female duo who always appear fierce when dealing with Kei.
Walking slowly towards a small building with two floors next to the large main villa, Kei pushed slowly the door that was indeed unlocked.
This was a two-story building like a favillion separated from the main villa. Kei prefers to occupy it because it is not too big but feels very comfortable for him.
Although it only has one bedroom but this favillion spoil the eyes with a view of the Strait of Melaka from the balcony of his bedroom on the second floor.
Instead of taking a shower, upon arrival in the bedroom Kei immediately threw his tired body in a jumbo-sized bed.
Kei stretched out his hands and feet, trying to untangle the squeezing fatigue. Finally, without being prevented, Kei fell asleep in a dream cradle.
