The Lost Of Ramadan
Chapter 6: Thalib the Enemy Part 1

The twelfth morning of Akira being in this village, now they have held a meeting together at Ken's house which Akira lived holding the legend of Talib the famous traveler in the village of a thousand statues. At that time Chio first stood in front of a blackboard that they made potluck.

“As per our promise together, today is our first meeting to help Akira find the month of Ramadan in this world, and also according to our mutual agreement, we are, we have to keep secret who Akira really is and keep calling him Ken in front of people" Chio said.

"But before that let's applaud Shiro who came first from all of us,” he continued while starting to clap followed by Ayumi and Akira.

“Cih ... I just accidentally!” shiro replied.

“You are amazing Shiro, I am proud of you, you look very excited, proof you have prepared first before we come,” said Ayumi smiled at him making Shiro fascinated.

“A’ahh .. thanks bro,” said Akira looked at it because it was protected by Ayumi.

“Cih ... I told you accidentally!” shouts Shiro again because Akira ruined the atmosphere.

“Aren't you taught how to use the Shiro sundial?” ask Chio.

“Cih .. where might I understand about it, than I'm late better I go earlier than you guys, but what I can't accept is, anywhere you go Aira! you should have prepared everything first!” shiro answered as he stood up and pointed at Akira.

“A’ahh .. sorry-sorry, I stayed at home Chio bro,” reply Akira.

“Hahh ... than we like this, we should just start our meeting,” said Chio was not excited because he saw the two of them like that.

“Alright, Shiro you're back to sitting right!” pinta Chio firmly.

“Cih ..” Shiro immediately sat back down.

Chio started immediately. “According to what we know, one part of the story of Thalib the traveler mentions something very related to Islam that Akira and Ayumi embraced, as well, there mentioned about a worship performed five times a day and overnight which was also carried out by Akira. For more we give the opportunity for Ayumi who will tell her story in detail,” said Chio while allowing Ayumi to come forward and take turns sitting.

“Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, by then Thalib had reached the village of Sabbat, a prosperous and prosperous village with the lives of its citizens who were great in blacksmithing. It was the middle of winter and Talib was walking around the village, a very cold atmosphere made Thalib stop near a strong and sturdy blacksmith, at that time he was making a sword. Thalib sat in a long chair to the right of the blacksmith, the sound of the tong ... tong ... teng, but that did not make him move away from the place because of the warm comfort of the fire that was burning nearby.  As usual Thalib took out his precious book from his dark green pride bag.“ Ayumi.

“Ano ... Ayumi, I think you can shorten it to not be long,” cut Chio.

“Cih ... You are this, can't you just shut up and listen, I think it's been very good,” Shiro said.

“Well continue like that Ayumi, I think that way we can more easily understand the story,” said Akira looked at Chio.

“Oh well if so, continue Ayumi,” pinta Chio.

Ayumi continued on. “Emm ... He took out his wooden pen and wrote a diary, and suddenly the blacksmith came up to him and gave him bread and a glass of warm drink.

Thalib accepted it with pleasure and said. ‘Do I bother you?’

‘No I'm happy if anyone sees me working,’ replied the blacksmith.

Thalib said: ‘This village is very beautiful and the people are very kind and generous.’

‘Well that has become our habit, this village paraturan also requires it to always help each other. Oh yeah, I heard you're a village outsider who got sullied?’ The blacksmith asked.

'Dad, thank you for accepting me here,’ said Thalib.

‘You are the one who is grateful, because every outsider from the village who comes here they always bring new things to our village,’ said the blacksmith.

At that time they were very cool talking and joking suddenly some villagers walked through them with lots of food in a tray. The villagers stopped by and presented the tray to Thalib and the blacksmith.

‘Take it,’ says blacksmith.

Thalib took one from each of the citizens who asked him to take one food in the tray, Thalib only took the available cakes, and was seen astonished by the blacksmith, who was not there, there are various kinds of animal meat.

‘You are all very diligent in carrying out worship well,’ said Thalib.

‘Didesa stay away from here some perform their worship for five times a day, this is nothing with them,’ replied the blacksmith staring far ahead.

At that time Shiro and Chio were ordinary but different from Akira who was amazed.

“Then Shiro will tell us the next story about Thalib, since Ayumi only remembers one then Shiro will tell us everything. He he .. Come on Shiro fast, you stand up again,” pinta Chio then Ayumi sat down, while Akira he still seemed silent as if thinking of something.

“Cih ... why should I all,” he said slowly while advancing forward.

“Emmm .. which Ayumi told me earlier is the second part of the story, actually there are two more parts, these two parts tell about the road that Thalib went through and also about the village itself,” said lazy.

“Well but I don't remember everything at all so for now that's it, then we leave it to Aira who will find out the way,” he continued with a flat face and again wanted to sit down, however, an eraser made of stitched cloth leftover bundles floated onto Shiro's face, causing him to topple over, at which point Chio immediately jumped on his body and locked Shiro's neck.

At that time Ayumi also hit Shiro's body with a long blade. “You're intent on helping or not, which is your strong remembering ability!” chio shouted while rubbing Shiro's hair.

“Which way I might remember everything! I'm not interested in that story!” yelled Shiro while struggling, but Ayumi instead stabbed with the blade in the abdomen making Shiro scream loudly.

“Now I know how to!” akira said excitedly.

They all looked at him silently. ”A’ahh .. I mean I know what we have to do next,” Akira explained.

Instantly Chio stood up. “Alright next it's Akira's turn to give his opinion,” he said then sat back down with Ayumi and Shiro.

Akira came forward even though he was nervous. “A’ahh ... anoo .. actually what I want to say is to challenge our way to find the next part of the story emm ..” said Akira had difficulty speaking.

“Gosh it's hard, right said people such things can also be stressful,” he said in his heart.

“As if this Akira is only your friend you can!” keep in heart again.

He took a deep breath while those who saw were confused why Akira was silent for a long time, but unlike Ayumi he actually did a gesture of encouraging Akira and giving code by speaking without sound. “You can Akira!”

“Well I have to change!” he said it again in his heart.

Akira took chalk and drew the six main streets of the village on the blackboard, then he also drew important things in the village, he said, like the six gates in the ceremonial place as well as the walls surrounding the village, and other important things that he marked with a cross.

“This is a map I made based on the results of my and Chio's observations while surrounding this village. There are still many things that are lacking, later you can add your own,” said Akira looks serious.

“Shiro from where did you hear that legend story?”

“Cih .. he said the whole village knew all about the story, only now if you ask it then they will not remember, most of whom still remember only the old man of this village,” replied Shiro a little lazy.

“Fast! if we want to know a lot about the legend of Thalib the traveler, then the best possibility of the old people of this village must still remember it well. The story of the legend is told hereditary, usually the parents thought it was the heritage of the village,” Akira reply while writing the word parents.

“Then how do we know the legend, do you intend to ask the parents of this village one by one?”

“We can't possibly do that, we'll ask them at once,” Chio said.

“Cih ... which is true, so now you want to go back to that place just to find out the legend story that we forgot ourselves?” suhut Shiro grew lazy.

Akira and Ayumi seem unable to understand their conversation and choose to keep quiet.

“Why Shiro? Didn't you guys at the ceremony yesterday not come?” ask Chio.

Hearing that remark Ayumi was jolted consciously and immediately lethargic. “Hahh ... Why do we have to go there again?!”

“Cih .. what can I do,” said Shiro then stood up, “but this time if we split the two groups then I will vote with Aira! and you're Aira! You will be their servant!” he said pointing at.

It was sad for Akira that he did not understand what they were talking about at all, in his mind there were only words at once, that place, there again, and the most confusing. “Servant!” he said in his settled heart Shiro was full of astonishment.
