*The Conqueror of the Eastern Forest (PHT)*
“Aaa ..!” the screams of Arda Handara and Barada along with the body slid down.
At first both of them were sloshing like people playing on the walls of a ravine full of vines, but then they rolled and swirled position. That made their views so chaotic uncertain.
Suddenly the two felt something wrapped around their bodies without them being able to clearly know. However, if it was wrapped around, it was most likely a snake.
Wh dude! Wh dude!
Both of them felt their bodies hit something, but were soft and racing. At first glance Barada saw a black object encircling his body.
Jburs!
In the end, the bodies of Arda Handara and Barada entered into the flow of river water at the bottom of the gorge. Instantly both of them wave. And fortunately, the water flow was not heavy.
“Huaah!” pekik Barada while arising with a wide gaping mouth took many breaths.
The woman of responsibility immediately remembered Arda Handara whom she called “Kid Monkey” and “Children Ganteng”.
“Kone Monkey, where are you?!” shouted Barada loudly. His voice echoed several times.
“Tolep! Tolep!” shouted Arda Handara while flailing on the surface of the water, his head appeared to sink like a fool.
Barada surprised. He swam to the position of the boy not far away.
After reaching it, Barada immediately pulled Arda Handara's shirt and took her swimming to the side of the river that was a little foggy.
“Uhhuk uhhuk!” arda Handara's cough that let out a little water from inside her throat.
“I'm not dead, Bi? Uhhuk!” ask Arda Handara.
“You really want to die?” ask Barada whose body condition is soaked, just like Arda Handara.
“Ya later if it is time to die,” replied Arda Handara who is black on her face fades a lot, increasingly showing her true face that irritates many people Palace.
“My call is effective too. Because I call you a handsome boy, you become a real handsome,” said Barada.
“I am indeed handsome, Bi. Before I was born, I was handsome,” Arda Handara insisted as she got up from her bed.
“Hihihi!” barada Laughter. “Hey, Monkey Child, are you hurt?”
“No,” reply Arda Handara.
“Do not lie. Let me see!” hardik Barada then grabbed the boy's head and examined it.
Barada was worried if the child suffered from impact or other injuries, because they fell from a high place, which is impossible if it is fine.
“Come on, what the hell is this!” pekik Barada was surprised and immediately jumped away from Arda Handara.
When he saw the nape of the boy, Barada saw a bunch of colorful caterpillars.
“Wah, Bodong!” pekik Arda Handara was surprised as well, as if realizing something.
Arda Handara hastily fingered the nape of his neck and scooped up a bunch of gathered caterpillars.
“Haaa …! Bodong matiiiii!” arda Handara shouted loudly and cried, completely crying, as her eyes quickly let out tears.
Surprised Barada saw the boy actually crying like his mother's father died.
“Haaa …! Bodong died youngaa! Bodong died youngaa! My ass is dead allaaa!”
Arda Handara's crying voice sounded loud and echoed up to the top of the abyss.
“Hei hey hey! Why are you crying? What are you crying about?” barada asked in surprise as she approached the boy.
“Bodong matii. My Uyut-yut died allaaa. Haaa ..!” arda Handara replied wailing while showing her palm on it lying still six caterpillars, one of which was Bodong, a red caterpillar with dark blue stripes.
“That's your pet caterpillar?” ask gentle Barada.
“Iya. My mouth must have died of drowning. Huuu ..!” arda Handara replied with a cry that began to swallow.
“It's toxic?” ask Barada.
“Iya. Just try Aunt hold it,” said Arda Handara while thrusting her hand at Barada.
“No, no. I'm ticklish. I'll be hives!” reject Barada while retreating.
“Hiyya!” pekik Arda Handara while throwing the corpse of the caterpillar in his hand to Barada.
“Child Monkey!” maki Barada was startled while jumping backwards like a frightened toad, scattering the carcasses on the damp ground.
“Hahahak!” arda Handara's laughter saw Barada's reaction.
“So you went to this Eastern Forest to look for caterpillars?” terka Barada's.
“Betul, Smart aunt. I came here to find uyut-uyut,” Arda Handara said.
“Hey, don't call me Aunty, I'm still as young as mango leaves,” Barada said.
“But Auntie also don't call me Monkey Child. How?”
“Iya, yes, yes,” says Barada agrees. “Call me Brother Barada. I'm the famous girl in the Capital City. Hihihi!”
“Prince? Prince Caterpillar Feathers?” barada asked, thinking the boy was joking.
“Ah, yes Yes. That's it, Prince Caterpillar Feathers!” arda Handara agrees.
“Hah you are naughty. All right, I'll call you Bulu, don't get mad, you asked yourself!” barada toilet.
“Hahaha!” Arda Handara laughed.
“Fur, we have to get out of here, it's so cold here,” Barada said as she hugged herself. He looked up and looked at the cliffs, who knew there was a path that could be passed to climb.
“No. I want to find uyut-uyut first!” arda Handara toilet then walked away on the side of a calm river.
“Hey, Prince of Feathers!” call Barada while walking following. “Are you not weird?”
“I'm just weird to Sister. Why pursue me? My mother is not, my mother is not, my servant is not, but chasing,” replied Arda Handara as her eyes searched the leaves of plants she met.
“You are not strange, we fell from that high, but not injured?” ask Barada.
“Because I'm so lucky. Hahaha!” answer Arda Handara origin.
“No. When we fell, Big Brother felt a black snake wrapped around us. I also caught a glimpse of it when we fell in the water,” Barada said.
“Ah, Sister must have dreamed of falling time,” said Arda Handara.
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly there was the sound of laughter of grandfathers who echoed widely.
Arda Handara was surprised to hear the sound of laughter and looked at Barada.
“Laughter Brother Barada why is that?” ask Arda Handara.
“That's not my laughing voice!” barada whispers with goosebumps.
“Then whose laughter sounds, Brother?” tanya Arda Handara whispered as well.
“Definitely this forest ghost,” terka Barada.
“Open. This forest ghost is called the Forest Squid. Brother ever seen a squid?” arda Handara said still in a whispering tone.
“No.”
“Hahahak!” arda Handara Laughter. “So I'm this old, but don't know what a squid is? Hahahak!”
“Hahahak ..!” The sound of grandfather-grandfather laughter echoing clearly again sounded clear, as if covering above them.
The two human children were again shocked and tense, as his gaze circled the upper area of the ravine.
Having found no one, Arda Handara searched the ground for stones and picked them up. Indiscriminately, Arda Handara threw stones at the upper area.
“Devil's grandfather! Come outside! I want to ask!” arda Handara shouted after throwing.
“Hahahak! Ask!” the voice of the grandparents was still laughing.
“I'm looking for uyut-uyut. Do you know where his house is?!” shouted Arda Handara, already harboring no fear because it seemed like the Demon Grandfather was friendly.
“Uyut-uyut? What is uyut-uyut?” ask the voice, without any more laughter.
“Fur plate, Cake!” answer Arda Handara.
“Furlates? Hahahak ..!” laughter that voice.
Barada did not dare to speak. He was still tense and harboring fear.
“Aaah, Grandpa Satan sucks,” taunts Arda Handara with a disappointed expression. “I came here just to search uyut-uyut!”
“Of course I have a lot of uyut-uyut, as much as the leaves in this forest. Come follow me!”
“Follow Grandpa? But where's Grandpa Satan?” asked Arda Handara, still looking around on the top side.
“See by the river!” the grandfather's voice command.
Arda Handara and Barada immediately looked and searched by the river.
“What is it?” barada asked in surprise, when she saw two long black creatures like snakes, but not heads.
The two creatures were exactly like pieces of proboscis whose ends were taper and thick at the base. The two creatures set up their pointy, snake-like limbs that stood with their necks. The end was twitching, as if it was calling Arda Handara and Barada.
“Waaah, Hutaaan Squid!” pekik Arda Handara was excited then about to run towards the two creatures.
“Eeeh!” screech Barada while hastily blocking the boy's hand. “Don't be careless, Fur! That creature is dangerous!”
“Kakak Barada do not indiscriminately accuse. Forest Squid are funny!” arda Handara's.
The boy then released his hand from the barada strangle and walked away to two creatures who had killed three warriors. Inevitably, Barada followed Arda Handara.
As Arda Handara and Barada approached, the two Forest Squid turned around and crept slowly. It seemed like the two of them wanted to lead Arda Handara and Barada somewhere.
“See, they are not evil!” arda Handara told Barada. (BH)
