The Lost Of Ramadan
Revealing the Secret of Part 2

The flashback

That was before the arrest of Akira and the others. The arrest occurred because of various allegations made by Rafu a second envoy.

That afternoon there was a commotion at the home of the first elder who was none other than Rafu's own father. “Dad! how many times have I told you to make me the first messenger so that I can be an elder!,” cried Rafu.

“I can't just lift you up as the first envoy, that rank already belongs to Osama,” replied the first elder.

“But Ayakkan can dismiss it just like that,” Reply Rafu.

“That I can't do, what will it be for the residents.”

“Even a first elder, time just like that becomes a problem, even though Dad already has power, if that alone can not mean the degree that Dad has is completely useless!” shouting Rafu.

“Didn't I say that being the first envoy must be based on a population agreement, can't be just pointed out, just, what else is your behavior out there that clearly does not look good in front of them will certainly make you far from that rank!” angry reply.

Rafu's getting upset. “Why should Dad approve Osama as the first messenger?”

His father shook his head as if he did not understand his own son who did not know anything. “Osama can be appointed as the first envoy because he already has a big role against the punishment of filial piety to parents, do you not see for yourself the citizens are very proud of his achievement.”

“But, it was because his father who had been sentenced to almost be killed for something whatever it was, he just wanted to save his own father by proposing to make the place.”

“Not only his father, almost dozens of parents he saved from punishment, if no second envoy supported it was certain his proposal would not be approved, what else the residents now strongly supported him, he said,” replied his father a little upset.

“I really don't understand the way Dad thought.”

“What else am I with this you, the problem of punishment is that you do not know the story, hemmh .. how could be the first envoy, if the problem of knowledge alone you do not have.”

“If you keep this up I won't be able to be the first envoy!” rafu was very angry.

Suddenly the elder fell silent and remembered something. “There is one thing if you want to be the first envoy, and this might just match your nature,” he said making Rafu astonished.

“What does Father mean?”

“Do you know about the story of Thalib the traveler who was once famous in our village?”

“Hah .. I don't care about useless fake stories,” he replied dismissively.

“Stupid basis! you know why Osama's father and dozens of other people could be arrested and wanted to be executed by the first elder first, that's because he was afraid that the real story was spread again!” he was angry at his own son.

“Real! what are you talking about?” surprised answers.

“Earlier when father was still the second elder, the first elder told father the story, he said the story was real and true, and Osama's father was the descendant of a disciple of Thalib, who was the son of a disciple of Thalib, therefore, Osama's father continued to try to spread the story again so that it could be trusted by the population, that's where the ban sentence was applied to be the first trial on Osama's father and dozens of other people who believed and helped spread the story. This punishment is nothing but the result of the thought of the previous elder when Osama's father was young and this punishment is still applied in an undisclosed manner so that the story remains covered."

"But the death penalty was thwarted by the proposal of Osama who is still a teenager and the help of the third Elder who is currently the second elder,” he said.

“Then what does it have to do with me to be the first envoy,” replied Rafu again astonished.

“At that time Thalib's relics were passed on to Osama's father's parents, but were stolen by the elder's emissary who served at that time to accidentally kill his parents,” he said made Rafu shocked to not believe.

“But in fact the item is still one, so find out and find one remaining Thalib relic, take it and bring it to me so that we destroy it, if you manage to get it not only to be the first envoy, at least you can be the third elder.” he replied.

Rafu seems to think. “But where should I look?” ask again.

“The first elder used to say, if one item was most likely stored by Osama's father, but it is not certain. Then find out the truth.”

“If I find it can I use any means to get it?” said smile.

His father turned and walked away. “Just do as you please,” the answer keeps moving away, while Rafu smiles grinning.

In the afternoon, Rafu, who was frenzied in a diner, overhears Zen, Haruka and Naoto talking about Talib as they walk through the tavern.

“Legenda Thalib the traveler is indeed a very good story yes, I got a lot of valuable lessons from the story,” said Zen sonorous sound Rafu made him stop eating trying to clarify hearing.

“Well me too, what else is the talk about the beautiful country of Sabbat,” replied Haruka.

“I salute their generous nature that seems to know no boundaries,” exclamations Naoto excited.

Hearing that Rafu was curious and called them. “Hey kids want to eat with uncle, uncle pay later,” call him.

Hearing him makes Zen, Haruka and Naoto look at each other and sumringah, then run to Rafu. “Uncle Truth?!” said Zen.

“Of course, but before that tell me who told you the story of Thalib?”

“Oh easy Uncle, but before that also love us to eat first he he he..” said Zen smiled arrogantly making Rafu can not do anything but agree.

After they were fed, they told stories. “We heard this story from Grandpa at the shelter of the parents next door, Grandpa knows everything,” Zen said with a mouthful of food.

“Do you know what Grandpa's name is,” replied Rafu.

“We do not know, but if uncle asks about grandfather who likes to tell the guard, will definitely be told who the person is, the people there already know everything,” replied Naoto.

He's thinking. “Oh well I will go there directly, thanks for telling me,” he said immediately left.

Zen pulled his clothes to make Rafu stop and turned to look. “Pay first uncle,” said Zen smilingly looked at him as well as Haruka and Naoto, again his scheming to leave them failed.

Arriving at the nursing home where the grandfather was Rafu asked the same thing as said by Naoto to the guard, then the guard directed to the grandfather who was also Osama's father.

Seeing that made Rafu a little upset because the person called grandfather was none other than Osama's father whom he was talking about this afternoon. “Hiss ... The basic kids are throwing my money away for them, I guess I'll get a different lead from everyone else, it turns out the same clue my dad told me, then I start from here.”

Rafu thought of something. “But before that, I have plans to make him reveal everything to me, just look at tomorrow he will not be able to dwell in front of me,” he continued grinning.

The next day Rafu actually brought two of his guards to the grandmother's house which was none other than the sister of the grandfather. “Halo Nek, our arrival here wants to arrest Grandma for the offense that Grandma did," said Rafu grinning, "let's catch him and we take him to Osama's father,” he continued to make grandmother shocked not understand.

After capturing the grandmother he immediately took her to the nursing home of Osama's father and pushed the grandmother in front of him to fall in pain.

“What did you do by bringing my sister before me?” asked the astonished grandfather at once angry.

“Quiet first Grandpa .. don't shout so, I just want to hear about Thalib from Grandpa,” he replied smiling.

Grandfather looked angry and upset, but tried to hide. “Basic! you think I will tell you, who really asked your own father to tell you, he knows more, so do not what my sister,” he replied.

“Yah ... actually not the story but the remaining items from the relics of Thalib that you still keep,” he said making Grandpa and Grandma jerked silently.

“How could he know that, when I had hidden it so much,” he said astonished in his heart.

“Hoo ... You must be thinking now why I can know, as you say my father knows more,” he replied again to make grandfather speechless.

“How could the elder know that, when all this time there was nothing he did to get it, if he did know that there was still one relic of Thalib, he should have done anything. Alright whatever it is I have to divert it.” he said in astonished heart.

“Not that the elders have taken everything, even because of the incident my parents died, are you still dissatisfied after the incident,” he replied angrily.

Rafu instead smiled as if he knew that grandfather was lying. “Catch them both!” rafu shouted to his bodyguard.

At that moment the bodyguard held them. “Geez Grandpa, it is not my fault nor is it the elder now, if the problem that used to be wrong with the previous elder, so do not be angry with me,” he replied approaching grandma while taking out a knife.

“What do you want to do to my sister?” said grandpa worried.

“Well if your sister died because I'm wearing this he he he.. then you can blame me,” he said making grandparents very scared.

Suddenly Rafu even raised his knife to stab grandma in the stomach. “Stop!” grandpa and Rafu shouted, stopping.

“Why? You want to tell me the truth?” he answered with a sly smile.

“Didn't teach you Rafu,” replied grandfather staring angrily, “leave first my sister then I will tell her,”.

“Don't do that, do you want your plan to fail just like that, you said he was his only hope.I'm old, if I die then surely people will catch him,” say grandma.

“But, you're the only brother I have, there's no way I'm letting you be killed by someone like him, after all I really believe in them, anyway, this fool like him cannot dwell in front of them, see that later you will also be destroyed before Akira and the others, because they all will be the successors of Thalib the traveler, he said,” replied grandfather while looking seriously at Rafu, but Rafu just seemed to not care about what grandfather was talking about.

“Ha ha ha .. ouh Grandpa-grandfather, talk what tried from earlier, uh natural yes he is old so his speech digress unclear,” he said while laughing with two of his guards.

Suddenly Rafu even raised and put on an angry face. “You know why I was named Rafu. The answer is only one, because all who dare to fight will be trapped in my net, as well as you mean by Akira, whoever will surely lose if faced with me, he said,” he whispered in grandfather's ear made him jerk consciously had said unnecessary things. It's all because of Samata's emotions.

“Then from that quickly just say where the remaining goods are!” he stared hard.

Grandpa sighed because he could do nothing. “Osama, he is the one who kept it,” he replied briefly.

Rafu smiled and patted grandfather on the shoulder and then turned and went with his bodyguards until he was away from his grandparents. “why did you also tell him about Akira and the others, this way everything will fail,” said grandmother worried.

“It's okay, I'm sure they can get through this, especially Akira, because he's a different person. I hope those kids get that stuff first and can keep it better,” replied the hopeful Grandpa.

After getting information from his late grandfather Rafu soon meets Osama alone and it crosses paths with Akira and the others.

“Hoo ... what is this, why did the boys also come here what they called grandfather this afternoon, if it is true then I was very curious and looking forward to it, he said,” he said grinning then hiding and paying attention.

At that time Akira and the others entered Osama's house while Rafu actually reached Osama's house and listened to the conversation from outside. From here Rafu heard all their conversations and found facts about Akira as well as Thalib's relics in the form of books.

Rafu smiled grinning. “Really luck is very scary, with these two realities, not only being the third elder, I can definitely also be the second elder, or maybe the first one he he he ... it's time to go and find another way to catch them all,” he said then leave the place where Akira died and others who were still inside.
