TRIBAL SABUNG
Chapters. 14 - New House -

After almost three hours of travel, they finally arrived in front of a large house with a land area of hundreds of meters. The sky that saw from the windshield of the car opened its mouth in disbelief. The huge gate with a height of about one meter split into two, wide open. The sedan car runs slowly into the yard of the house whose right and left sides are filled with flower gardens.

The distance from the entrance gate to the terrace of the house is about one hundred meters. The car stopped right in front of the terrace, several well-dressed people lined up ready to welcome the arrival of their master and mistress.

Their adjutant got out of the car with the driver. They both opened the door. Regi came out and tidied up his gray coat and nodded in thanks. Meanwhile the Sky carefully came out then stretched out his hand to help Fuji. The middle-aged woman almost hysterically got a sweet treatment from her foster child.

“Welcome Mr, Madam, and Young Master!” the four people lined up in front of them bowed politely.

The sky flinched slowly, startled and unaccustomed. Fuji standing beside him patted the Sky's shoulders gently and embraced him.

“Welcome to your new home, Sky!” Fuji smiled widely, he pulled Sky's hand and brought it inside.

“Please excuse me, Mistress.” A nearly fifty-year-old man with bleached hair stopped Fuji and Sky.

“May I borrow the time of Tuan Muda Langit to take him around and tell the history of the Sanjaya family first?”

Fuji frowned, “Can't it be pushed back?”

“Can't, Mistress. It's been a long-standing tradition of the Sanjaya family every welcome a new family.” The man smiled kindly, “Didn't Madam know it the most?”

Fuji's temple twitched softly, annoyed that what his butler said was correct. But he also felt sorry for Sky who had to experience something similar when he came as a daughter-in-law in the Sanjaya family. Unable to refute, Fuji finally let go of his grasp on the Sky and crouched down to have their gazes aligned.

“I have prepared your room on the second floor, if it is finished you can rest comfortably there.”

“Ba-good, ta-tante.”

Fuji, who was about to stand up, did not come and took both hands of Heaven. He rubbed it slowly and looked at the pair of blue eyes in front of him sincerely.

“I'd love for a quick trial period to finish. That way you can proudly introduce yourself as Sky Sanjaya. And of course if you don't mind calling me Mom.”

After saying what he wanted to say, Fuji immediately stood up. He then left the Sky with the butler of the Sanjaya family. The sky was still silent as it stared at Fuji's increasingly distant back before disappearing at the junction of the corridor.

“Include my name Bastian, let's follow me, Young Master.”

The sky nodded slightly, he turned his head again towards the departure of Fuji before running after Bastian.

“In 1951, Owi Sanjaya bought a cigarette company that almost went out of business in Kudus, Central Java. Then in 1963 the company was almost extinct due to a large fire that destroyed the company factory and followed the death of Mr. Owi Sanjaya.” Bastian stood in front of a large picture frame showing a painting of an old man with a sharp and firm look.

The sky looked at the painting in admiration. His legs moved again when Bastian had moved to show him something else.

“Both of his sons did not give up and tried to rebuild the company. The journey they took was not short, until in the mid-1970s, the company officially established the Research and Development Center to develop their products.”

The two stopped in front of a fairly large miniature building. The sky watched him carefully. Bastian stepped back and Heaven followed, this time they headed to a large board similar to a family tree.

“Tuan Regi is the grandson of the late Great Lord Budi who was the first child. And Young Master Sky is the future successor to Mr. Regi. This makes Tuan is the 5th generation of the Sanjaya family.”

The sky nodded in understanding, he had a nervous gulp. It was simply unexpected that her foster family background would be so strong and this big.

“Tuan Regi decided to try his luck in the sports world. He built the Tribal Union in Joekarta under the name Nusantara. This guild was a place for those who had raised up the Blood Tribe. Nusantara gathers talented people to try to become winners in the World Tribal Cup Tournament.”

The World Tribal Cup, is a fighting competition that is participated by the best teams from each Tribal Union in Indonesia. Teams put forth the five strongest champions as representatives of each tribe. To compete against champions from other Tribal States. Until the final round and only one winner who will get the title as the best champion and tribe in Indonesia.

Return to Bastian who recounts Sanjaya's family history in order and detail. It took about five hours until the old man finished with his story and allowed Sky to go to his room. One of the maids escorted her to the second floor.

“Please rest comfortably, Young Master. I'll call you when it's dinner time.”

“Te-thank you,” Sky tried to smile while waving his hand.

After the servant withdrew and closed the door, Heaven immediately threw himself on the cold floor. Today was long and tiring, especially the part with Bastian. Even so he was a little happy, because Sky can know the family background of his adoptive parents.

“Ceiling, it's time to eat ma– oh, jeez.”

Fuji immediately approached the sky which was apparently asleep on the floor. The middle-aged woman immediately carried him and put him to sleep in a king-size bed and covered him.

“My son must be exhausted after a long journey and follow the brief guidance from Bastian.” Fuji rubbed the Sky's forehead.

“Beautiful dreams, My little sky.”

The sound of the chirping of the sparrows sounded faintly along with the scent of the sun. The sky in his warm blanket, wriggling slowly. The warmth made her comfortable and forced her to fall back to sleep. But a knock on the door was heard shortly, followed by someone opening the door and entering before he opened the large curtain that covered the room window.

“Good morning, Young Master.”

A young maid of about twenty years old with brown hair ponytailed by two greeted her cheerfully. The young girl brought him a glass of cold water with a garrison of fresh lemon pieces. Trays were placed on the nightstand while the maid opened the blanket that enveloped the Sky.

“Uh...,” The sky is sitting half-conscious.

“I brought drinks for Young Master. Please drink it first while I prepare the clothes.”

The sky nodded obediently, still with eyes closed. His wavy black hair looked even busier and messy as a result of just waking up. The sky gulped down cold water a few times. The cold sour taste of his drink made the sky slowly awake.

The blue bead blinked a few times, a second later his body froze. He immediately descended from his big bed, cold sweat falling as big as corn kernels.

“A-ah! oh ti-no! ja-jam be-how now?!” tanyanya panic.

The waiter who was preparing the clothes immediately replied, “Six in the morning, Young Master.”

“A-I-my overslept! I-I ha-should go to dinner together!” The sky rattled his already messy hair into even more tangles.

He may have fallen asleep, even though he had an appointment to have dinner with his adoptive family. Sky was not sure what kind of expression to put up to face the disappointment of his new parents. Though the first impression was important, it was the thing that Yatna reminded him repeatedly. And the Sky had already destroyed his chance to give a good impression to the Sanjaya family.

“On that, last night Madam ordered us not to wake Young Master.”

The sky immediately looked at the waiter in front of him.

“Because Young Master must be exhausted after a long journey, so no one woke up Mr.” The waiter explained in a friendly tone. He then put a clothes stel on the edge of the bed. “Alright, it's time to take a shower, Young Master. We should go immediately to the dining room for breakfast.”

“U-uh, o-okay.., TU-WAIT! A-WHAT YA-YANG KA-YOU DID?!” The sky beamed in shock as suddenly the maid took off her top shirt.

“Eh? of course bathe Young Master,” replied the waiter.

“A-I can bi-myself,” Sky hastily take a towel to cover his upper body. “Can you-can you come out? I-I'm going to take a shower now.”

The young maid fell silent, her mind hysterical with her master's sweet behavior. After a slow thump, he returned a friendly smile.

“Sorry has surprised Young Master, but it is Ningsih's job to prepare for Young Master's needs. Of course starting from bathing the Young Master of Heaven.”

The white cheeks of the sky turned red like tomatoes ready to be picked. The red hue even spread to the ears. The sky hurriedly shook his head, rejecting it outright.

“Ti-no need! I-I can be alone, to-please get out!”

Ningsih who could not bear to tease her master again finally relented. After being satisfied to see the cuteness of the successor of the Sanjaya family in this sunny morning, Ningsih closed the door of the room. The sky that was finally alone in his room immediately sat on the floor.

In orphanages children sometimes like to bathe together, but never interfere with the opposite sex. Salsa has always taught them what they can and cannot do since childhood. Therefore Heaven could not help but be ashamed if he really had to be bathed by a young woman like Ningsih. Looking bare-chested in front of Yatna alone had made him want to bury himself alive.

“A-what's all o-rich people like this?”
