TRIBAL SABUNG
Chapters. 10 - Blood Tribe Bag. 2 - 2
“Se-a year ago, ha-result my examination a-is a-I have the possibility of u-to me-me-awaken the Blood Su-tribe.” The sky sighed softly, “Kak Basuki, Kak Ti-Tio and Nyoman, they all have the possibility of i-it.”
As if getting enlightenment, Yatna ber oh ria. Now he understood why his four friends were called and told to the front even though they were underage.
“So that's the reason why you also often go several times a month. Are you guys being trained?”
Sky nods, “Mu-mumpung free ka-because of pro-government programs. Ka-we accept it de-please ha-hati.”
Yatna nodded again, “Alright, but I still felt it was not the right thing. So is your guilt, Langit.”
“Ti-no, je-obviously i-this is all my fault! ji-if only wa-time was a-I wasn't hurt. Ka-Kak Tio and Kak Basuki, you-will not pay attention to me, Ka-if I-I-I don't get hurt, Kak Tio pa-definitely ti-not going to be like that!”
The change in Heaven's attitude that looks more panicked, making Yatna immediately embrace him. He rubbed slowly several times behind the head of the Sky. Her voice was soft and tried to calm her best friend.
“That's all just in your mind, Sky. You remember, no, how did Brother Tio see you?”
The sky in Yatna's arms nodded small, “Ka-Kak Tio looked at me as usual.”
“You clearly know, there are no hateful gazes and Brother Tio does not blame you.” After feeling the sky calm, he let go of his embrace and smiled broadly. “To be honest if I were Tio's sister, I would do the same. I'll watch you, worry about you when you're hurt, 'cause you know why?”
The sky returned Yatna's shady gaze, her face slightly reddened. “Ka-because ki-we're family-to-family?”
Hearing Sky's doubtful reply, the little girl smiled widely. “True once! we're family, and we should've looked after each other.”
“Um, you're right. Ki-we ha-have to look after each other!”

Three weeks since the hunt for the Forest King, the day the orphanage children were waiting for finally came. This afternoon a couple will come to visit. The entire orphanage was busy tidying up their rooms. Some children are busy glazing, unpacking the contents of their closets to find suitable clothes. All were very much looking forward to the arrival of their future parents, except for the Sky.
The wavy black haired boy with blue eyes was just sitting in the garden. Playing the swing of the tires of the car while gazing far towards the village. The peace was unfortunately disturbed when Nyoman came to him.
“Hei,” call him in a slow voice.
Wow is something that Heaven cannot imagine. Is he dreaming? an energetic Nyoman, always shouting, suddenly called out to him in a low voice.
“A-”
“DO NOT TALK!”
Okay, Heaven retract his words. Nyoman is still as usual. The boy suddenly shouted and told him not to talk. This is the new Nyoman usually who always told him to be Sky the mute.
Nyoman turned clumsy, while scratching her non-itchy nape. He also remained silent, as if keeping his distance from the sky. Then it cleared slowly, as if braving itself.
“You, why didn't you say anything?”
The question is very confusing to the sky. The boy felt there was nothing to talk about. If anyone wants to talk, it's Nyoman. It's been almost three weeks Nyoman has been watching him from a safe distance.
“If you tell Aunt Tun, it is certain that the one to be adopted is you!”
Actually during these few days, the topic of adoption became a sensitive topic for Sky. The boy immediately put on an irritated look.
“A-”
“DO NOT TALK ME SAY!”
Once again Nyoman cut him to silence. The Sky Thin instantly twitched in annoyance. He asked but did not allow Heaven to answer. Is Nyoman being upset and making it as an impingement?
“I'm talking about the incident in the forest,” Nyoman took a breath. “I clearly saw you appoint the King of the Forest before the animal collapsed and died. I saw you talking, but because your voice was too small I couldn't hear what you said to the pig.”
Nyoman played her fingers nervously, then she finally dared to look up at the Sky. This time his gaze seemed to be firm on what he believed.
“Have you awakened the Blood Tribe?”
All right, this is confusing for the heavens.
Nyoman urged him to answer. The heavens alone did not know whether he had actually raised the Blood Tribe or not. Not getting an answer and response from the sky, Nyoman began to be impatient. The skinny boy started looking for something under his feet.
After finding a medium-sized stone, Nyoman immediately gave it to Nyoman. The blue-eyed boy looked at him in wonder, not understanding.
While pointing at the stone in the hand of Heaven, he exclaimed. “Try saying something to that rock!”
“Hah?” this time the sky sounded with a dumb look.
“Anything, whatever! try to make him gold!”
The sky sighed softly, it was almost as if he was patting his head with a stone in hand. Is this a new kind of bullying? after all, the Heavens had never heard of the kind of power of the Blood Tribe that could change anything just from speech.
The deg!
Just sec…
Suddenly the sky remembered with his favorite fairy tale book, The Bitter Tongue. Doesn't the main character have speech? the main character is also a legend of the island of Sumatra, if not wrong of the palembang tribe?
The sky bit his lower lip, inevitably he was also curious. Is it true that he has awakened the power of his people? If true, then Heaven will finally know where he came from. All this time he never wanted to know who his parents were, or which tribe he came from. But of course his little heart was also interested in wanting to know.
The blue-eyed boy gulped nervously. His little hand clenched the stone. Thinking of something easy and not too heavy if he really has that ability. Because the Sky is aware, no matter how small the power and power, it has its own consequences.
“Ja-be a tomato!”
Finally the Sky spoke, both eyes closed when saying so.
“Gosh!”
The voice came from Nyoman, making Sky open one of her eyes. Holy hooch! the boy also cried out in his heart. Look, in the palm of his hand that was originally a stone is now turned into a fresh tomato.
Nyoman chocolate beads sparkling in awe, “You really got up! you rise up the sky! you rise!”
Nyoman leaped merrily, raising both her hands into the air while celebrating. As for the Sky, the boy gaped in disbelief. Finally after ten years of life, he knew which tribe he belonged to.
“A-I da-from su-tribe pa-palembang?”
After finishing cheering, Nyoman again looked at the tomato fruit on the palm of Heaven full of envy.
“I also want to rise. Goddamnit! when exactly did my strength rise?!”
“Ugh!”
The sky held his head, dropping the tomatoes to the ground. Nyoman froze not knowing what was happening. The blue-eyed boy suddenly groaned in pain. Oh no, are there any side effects every time Heaven uses its power?
“Ti-no mu-maybe,” Sky murmured slowly. “A-me...”
‘Mati!’
The memory of when Heaven cursed the Forest King suddenly seeped into his mind. That huge beast without being able to fight back, died just like that. Is this his speech? anyone, anything, would be what he said.
It's. eerie.
“Ti-no! I-I don't want to!”
“O-oi! you all right? Hey, Sky!” The clueless Nyoman immediately shook her friend's shoulder.
The boy was still holding his head, cold sweat descending on the temple. The sky could hear Nyoman's voice continuously calling out to him. But the sudden roar of breath became fast, making his body limp. It hurt so much, it was tight and he had trouble breathing. Whoever please, Heaven clasped his chest and fell to his knees. As Heaven's consciousness grew thinner, he had a chance to see the figures of adult men and women approaching.
“To-please...,” says Sky moans slowly.
“Tidurlah, Son. You'll be fine.” Said the mysterious woman, the touch of a hand on her forehead felt warm and comfortable. It didn't take long until Heaven completely lost its consciousness.
