TRIBAL SABUNG
Chapters. 23 - Combo -

The sun began to fall, ready to change from dusk to night. In the meeting room of the Nusantara Union, Regi seemed to sit uneasily. Five hours had already been the aftermath of the abduction, and he could only sit around waiting for news. Some coaches and the waiting authorities are also no less anxious.

“Still no news?” Regi asked Yohan.

His adjutant shook his head slowly making Regi growl slowly. “What did the Head of Public Relations Division say?”

“They are developing kidnapping motives, ranging from business motives, revenge motives, to pure criminal motives. And because until now the abductors have not contacted us, they have not been able to do tracking.”

The explanation from his adjutant did not make his heart calm, it was getting hotter. Regi tries to regulate the breath that begins to feel heavy. Filing for reporting on the abduction of his adopted son was quickly addressed. But still, for Regi the police performance is very slow. Every minute, every second, Heaven's safety could be threatened. And they're busy uncovering kidnap motives?

It feels like Regi could go crazy if he had to wait a little longer. The middle-aged man beckoned to Yohan. The man immediately brought his ears closer, ready to hear and carry out his master's orders. For about a minute, Yohan nodded, she then withdrew and left the meeting room.

The sound of lacing was heard from the corner of the room. Some people refrained from storming in. That was because they had already gotten a warning from the strongest person in their group. Sarda, is the name of the kidnapper who is now fighting with Ivano.

That nearly thirty year old man was the strongest of their members. That was because, Sarda was not an ordinary person, she also had the privilege of flowing in her blood.

“Kyaaargh!”

Grandma Luhu's shout was heard again, deafening the ears and giving a momentary paralyzing effect. Sarda almost dropped her knee, but not for three seconds, she got back up. Ivano clucked, annoyed that this attack did not work. He then attacked with a wooden machete, performing a feint move several times. After dodging, Sarda fell when from behind Heaven punched her upper waist.

“Basic boy sucks!” ingenious Sarda began to emotion.

Sarda extended her legs, lowered her body, several times playing her cleaver like dancing. Like following a leg blow, the man attacked Ivano and Sky at the same time. This time the attack movement was no longer origin, or free as before. Every attack, even footsteps were all such a reckoning.

Ivano began to be overwhelmed, the attack of the machete did not work, the tantrum of Grandma Luhu was only able to hold it for three seconds. The ambon boy did not know what kind of gap to make so that Heaven could use the ability of the bitter tongue as efficiently as possible.

“Abdi ti Baduy Tribe! Maneh tong kaduhung!” Clever Sarda again.

Ivano scratches his head that does not itch, “Ale can not, use good and correct Indonesian? I can speak Indonesian, that's a little bit. Hey, Sky! ale understands what he's talking about?”

The startled sky was suddenly asked so it could only shake its head. He only understands Indonesian, he has never learned another language. This was only the first time the heavens heard the language of the region.

“See? ale thought in Indonesia there is only one tribe and language? no ale, in Indonesia there are 1,340 tribes and 829 languages!” Ivano seemed excited when he explained the knowledge he had just learned two days ago to Sarda.

“We are different tribes, different languages. Wear good and true Indonesian during a match like this! Well, try ale repeat again with Indonesian, was ale say what?”

The sky that didn't understand Ivano's way of thinking could only stare at his friend. The look on his face was almost dumb, but fortunately he could still read the implied message from Ivano's eye glance. It seemed that the ambon boy was distracting Sarda. This is the opportunity that Heaven is waiting for, then without wasting any more time Heaven immediately acts.

The boy immediately darted, his ability in dispelling air of existence had already increased after training with Yohan. When Ivano was still chattering and Sarda was busy attacking him but failed. The sky moved closer to the man without being caught.

“Sleep!” the command of the heavens is right in Sarda's ear.

Not for a second, the man closed his eyes, his body fell instantly and fell to the floor in a deep sleep. The sky heaved a sigh of relief seeing his technique succeed. Ivano celebrated, then approached Sky and Sarda.

“Quickly we tie him!” he exuberantly.

Ivano looked around, looking for a rope or anything that could be used to tie Sarda's body. Meanwhile the sky approached the table where Sarda was sitting when they first entered this room. There was some paper strewn on the old wooden table. The sky read quickly the contents, and frowned for a moment.

“So they're pure criminals, who kidnap for ransom?”

The sky turned towards Sarda whose body was being bound by Ivano. Then he quickly tidied up the papers and kept them in his hoodie bag. As he was about to approach Ivano, the sound of the phone ringing echoed in the room, shocking the two little ones.

“Si-who's phone?” Ivano asked fearfully.

The sky turned its head, seeing an old cell phone on the table ringing several times. The boy turned his head again towards Ivano, as if asking should he pick up the phone? Ivano looked doubtful but eventually nodded his head.

The boy reached out, grabbed the old phone and answered the phone. For a moment there was no sound across there.

“Ha-hello?”

“Who is this?!”

“I have to admit, you were great to beat Sarda.”

Finally the voice at the end of there. The sky was almost in shock hearing a heavy, hoarse, disguise-like voice. The boy then turned to Ivano, asking for an opinion through the eyes. But the one asked was busy robbing the contents of Sarda's bound wallet.

Sky gulps nervous spit, “A-what do you want?” he tried to sound brave.

“Nothing, I just want to test your speed bearing the name Sanjaya.”

The boy's forehead shriveled, who's the one who wants to test his self-worth? Sanjaya's husband and wife? sure doesn't. The coach, Mr Yohan? it's probable. If it is true, then Heaven knows what to answer.

“You satisfied?” The sky asked in a careless tone. “You have no right to test my eligibility in such a low way. Heh! a kidnapping? I'm nothing compared to the gibberish you paid!”

After snapping at the person on the other end of the phone, Sky caught a glimpse of the caller number before turning it off. Ivano who had just finished looting Sarda's treasure immediately approached him.

“Who was ale snapped earlier?”

“This abduction mastermind,” Sky replied briefly, he was busy looking for paper and stationery. “Do you have anything you can use to take notes?”

Ivano nodded, took out the smart phone from his pants pocket and gave it to Sky. For a moment the black-haired boy fell silent, looking fixedly at the sophisticated object in Ivano's hands.

“why didn't you say bring your phone?!” The sky cries out in anxiety.

“Ale did not ask,” Ivano replied casually. “What do you do?”

The sky took a deep breath, trying not to get angry. This boy is just the first to meet someone like Ivano. Believe me Nyoman is still a hundred times more distant than this ambon boy.

“Request help!” he paused and took the phone in Ivano's hand.

The sky immediately pressed down on a few numbers before the sound of waiting tones sounded. After twice the ringtone, the call is lifted. That hoarse and hasty voice belonged to his adoptive father, Regi. Sky immediately explained their situation, and let the police track the location of Ivano's cell phone GPS.

After a few minutes of talking, Sky turned off the phone and returned it to Ivano.

“They will arrive here in thirty minutes,” Sky explained to Ivano who is cool counting money.

“Quick also them, didn't it take a few hours to get here?” ivano asked without taking his eyes off the money in hand.

Sky come sit beside Ivano, “Dad will be here by private helicopter.”

“As expected of a rich man,” Ivano whistled loudly. “Omong by the way will beta be able to compensate money for engaging this abduction?”

Sky think for a moment, “It looks like.”

“Mantake right!” Ivano again whistled and licked his thumb before going back to counting the money in hand.

The sky shook its head, then turned its attention towards Sarda who was still asleep.

“Luckily, your strategy worked. I can only use speech three times a day. If it fails, we can only survive, or run.”

Ivano hit his left chest while smiling proudly. “Ano is it!”

After waiting for almost half an hour, the sound of police car sirens sounded faint. It did not take long for the authorities to surround the warehouse where the kidnappings were being held and paralysed the remains of the kidnappers who were standing guard outside.

Sky and Ivano boarded a helicopter and returned safely to Joekarta.
