Malik..

the morning had arrived, I woke up from my deep sleep, as soon as I woke up, I rushed towards the bathroom, finished with the affairs there I immediately went to the living room, I was in, there I saw my little sister Aisha who was being carried by Nadia, Aisha was still sleeping, she was very cute while sleeping, I sometimes wanted to hold her but Nadia forbade me to do so, that's because I've made Aisha cry a few times before when I'm carrying. I don't know why but it seems like my face is scary for a baby, or maybe because I'm not very good at carrying a baby.

waiting for a moment in the living room, mother and sister called out.

"let's get breakfast started!!."

we all immediately gathered and ate together, not forgetting to say a prayer of thanksgiving thanks to the food served today.

actually lately we can often eat good food thanks to the money sent by Raden along with his letter, although only a little but the mother uses basic necessities every day, and now that Raden never sends another letter, I think because he's gone so far that the letter he sent took a long time to come.

the last letter he sent was damaged by a group of Jack's gangs so that it could not be read anymore, plus the incident that day experienced by Ali, I think he was still sad about the incident. Perhaps the last letter Raden sent contained important information.

we may never know what the message is.

"...."

Sometimes I think, how can a bad person like Mr. Hardy be the village chief

Sluth, he's a bad guy but he can be a village chief, plus his son's an outrageous biadap, he really likes to take the money of the villagers for his personal interests by using the name of his father who is the village head.

actually, Mr. Hardy did a good job as the village head, but he was too pampering his son Jack. That's what I don't like about him, even though I feel like if Mr. Hardy is doing something bad, it's because when he looks, surely a village chief will greet his people with a smile, but I see he's not a sincere smile.

"..."

I think today too much, it's not good for my health, I could have fallen ill as a result and won't be able to work.

After I finished my meal I prepared to go to work as usual,

today I work for an animal farmer, it's because he asked me yesterday, so now I work in a cage.

Actually I don't like working on the farm, but for my brother I'll work better.The things I do today are cleaning the cage, bathing the cattle and feeding.

"i'll go first"

not to forget before leaving I have to say goodbye first.

"...."

I work from morning to evening, earning money.

At first I wanted to go home when I finished work, but I knew that my body odor was very unpleasant, so I decided to take a bath in the river, after I finished exercising for a while to dry myself.

I finished it all as soon as I got home.

"...."

when I returned home, I was surprised to see so many people gathered in front of the house, I did not know what happened and rushed there, intending to find a mother or another, whether they were okay

I came to the front of the house and called another, until someone I knew came up to me, he was the Postman's uncle, he came to me and explained what was going on, the uncle told me if my brother Ali was taken away by Jack's gang.

"what's going on here?."

The uncle replied to me with some hesitation, it made me a little worried about what was happening here.

"so son.. Your brother was taken away by Jack's friends."

"How can!!! "

I was shocked and asked what really happened.

"forgive me son I don't know anything, the people here came too for something similar."

Hearing that, I immediately understood that the people here came here because they experienced something similar, namely the people closest to them were kidnapped. So they're all here to ask for help to save them.

I thought the person they were expecting was Raden, because he was the one who always solved all the problems when they troublemaked, but Raden wasn't here.

"It's similar?, you mean that many children have been kidnapped?!!! "

"Yes that's right."

If that's true, I'm very worried about my family.

"What about my other brother."

Uncle initially did not want to answer him, but waiting for a while later, he started talking and telling the truth.

when I heard that Nadia was also seen, I couldn't say anything more, I was very shocked by everything that happened today

I am now very worried about my mother, brother and Aisha.

"What about my mother and sister.."

"They're inside.."

Knowing that I immediately entered the house and passed through several crowds of people, immediately I opened the door and entered inside.

When I entered, how shocked I was to see a helpless mother lying on the bed with her brother next to her.

My heart was broken when my family was played with by Jack and his friends.

I was so angry, I walked slowly in my room, looking for an object I thought would be needed.

Ie a bima-given sword, I think this is a destiny for me and that's why I got it from bima.

I immediately left to solve all these problems, I thought maybe I would not go back home again, so I decided to see my sister and mother one last time, after which I went out of the house, walk slowly away from home.

but since the location of the delinquent's headquarters was quite far away, it would probably take a lot of time when it was just running, when I thought about how to get to it quickly, someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder, I looked at him, he was the uncle of the ranch owner I had worked with, and behind him was a horse.

"hey boy, I think you need a vehicle, you can borrow my horse."

"really?! thank you very much."

Thanks to the uncle's help, I was able to speed up travel time.

just as I started walking, suddenly there was someone blocking my horse.

"Are you crazy?!!!."

The one who blocked my horse was bima, he was my best friend.

"Maybe you're right if I'm crazy,

but think carefully, how could I not go crazy after knowing my brothers and sisters were kidnapped right after I got home from work."

"i know if you're frustrated, then let's leave all this trouble to the authorities for this case, you just take a break."

I do not want to listen to any more of the words of the bima and force my horse to walk,

but Bima was still very persistent, he kept forcing my horse not to walk.

until the people gathered in front of the house came up to me and began to pull the bima, their kembungan spoke.

"Malik. Please save my son."

"You're our only hope after Raden."

"Please save my sister."

hearing all the pleas from the villagers, how a person like me can melt his heart, this makes me even more excited.

They all supported me to go, though,

Bima gave up and let me go but she immediately shouted something.

"i will help you!!! "

yell at me, bima,

sontak made me very surprised at the statement, had been silent for a while to think whether it is okay if bima come with this.

 "are you crazy!!! What you're dealing with is that vile delinquent."

"You who are crazier than me, let me go with you."

Bima is really my best friend, I don't want her to get involved in this, but I'm being held back by her and will let me go when she comes with me. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get home safely, especially if I was with him.

But when I keep pushing myself, maybe you'll be disappointed in me,

With so much consideration, I finally agreed if bima came with me, because there was no more time.

"all right let's go!!!."
