TRIBAL SABUNG
Chapters. 39 - Forest Park -

“Being a Jawara is not just seen from its power. You must have a solid foundation, master various techniques, and the most important thing is that you understand your abilities well.” Setio stood in front of the children, sitting watching his every word well.

“For example, a Javanese Jawara has the characteristic of fighting with a keris. They also have the power to control weapons as they wish. The highest ability of Javanese Jawara, able to control a hundred kris. therefore they are sometimes called by..”.

“Various Hundred Hands!” the children continued excitedly.

Setio clapped his hands, pleased with the enthusiasm of the academy students.

“What here is the candidate of Java Jawara?” when Setio asked, the 1-A class looked in one direction.

Malik gulped nervously, unprepared with a sudden look. The teenager finally raised his hand. Setio smiled broadly, then asked Malik to come forward.

“It's nice to meet my fellow brother,” Setio immediately embrace Malik. “About the genie mboten kawraten maringi tuladha ing kanca ne genengan.”

The sky immediately approached Ivano, whispering softly. “What does it mean, No?”

“How are you doing,” replied Ivano briefly.

“What does that mean? really short.” The sky looked at Ivano doubtfully.

“Beta this ambon tribe, where know Javanese language. Ale jang ngadi-ngadi asked what it means to beta!” Ivano gave a flick in the forehead of the Sky.

The teenager complained quietly, rubbing his sore forehead while clucking bitterly. Ms. Donna chuckled softly, coincidentally standing near Heaven and Ivano. The middle-aged woman happily told them.

“That means, do you not mind, give an example to your friends.”

The sky nodded in understanding, “Thank you, Miss Donna!” he said again with a big smile.

Malik sighed softly. He took a keris from his waist belt, then directed it in front of his chest. Malik fully concentrated, then opened his palm, releasing his grip on the silver dagger. The whole child exclaimed as the keris floated five inches from Malik's palm.

Setio clapped his hands, followed by the other children.

“Good, I can't wait to see your ability after graduation later, Malik.” Setio patted Malik's back cheerfully.

“Thank you, Brother Setio.”

After that Malik returned to the children's ranks. The study tour this afternoon is over and they will go to the nature reserve.

The tourism bus returned down the highway, after leaving the Unions Fragrant area. It only takes half an hour to get to the next destination. Depok Nature Reserve or the official name of Taman Hutan Raya (Tahura) Pancoran Mas, is part of the open space owned by the Depok City Government. This place is used as a place of recreation by some local residents.

This nature reserve is divided into three parts, first is the care forest, second utilization, and third conservation. Academy students will only be on the edge of the Great Forest, where locals relax, picnic, and jog in the afternoon. The bus entered the tourist area and immediately pulled over. Ms. Donna warned her students not to enter the forest too far.

The sky dropped last after Ivano, Yatna and Malik. The blue bead of the teenager blinked, this was the first time for him to come to the Great Forest Park. Honestly, the heir to the Sanjaya family managed to be dumbfounded. As far as the eye can see full of trees, the air is cooler even though the heat of the sun is still stinging.

“Sky, beta for money!” Ivano suddenly took out a hand. His eyes were impatient. “Quick! anyone selling corn dogs, beta want to buy!”

Yatna chuckled as Heaven clucked, but still took out a wallet. The girl instead imitated Ivano's attitude, taking out a hand.

“I want too!”

The blue bead blinked, his hand had even been floating with a piece of money. The sky looked at Ivano and Yatna alternately, then grinned widely. The pink paper fell into the girl's hands.

“Thank you, Sky!” Yatna exclaimed merrily, occasionally jumping while mocking Ivano.

“Ale has a lot of drama,” Sky pat Ivano on the shoulder. “Ale know for yourself, we as men can what in front of women?” The sky blazed, mingled with the language of his ambon which is still mediocre.

Ivano brushed off Sky's hand, still holding out with his play. Malik immediately took out his wallet, then handed Ivano a piece of red paper. The two friends took turns looking at money and Malik. Stared like that, making the owner's thick eyebrows wrinkle faintly.

Malik has not withdrawn his money. Ivano first snatched, the smile of the teenager was broken.

“Beta receive your money, Young Master!” Ivano leapt merrily in front of Sky and Malik. “There are fortunately two Young Masters. Oi, Yatna!” then went after Yatna who was in front of the corn dog merchant.

The sky shook its head, chuckling. “You will not spoil him, if you already know his habits. But, thank you!”

“You don't need to change the money!” Malik immediately pushed Sky's hand as the teenager gave him the money. “Consider.., thank you for letting me in your group.”

For a moment the blue bead stared fixedly at Malik's figure. The sky put the money back, and took a leisurely walk, following Yatna and Ivano.

“Are you not wondering?” The sky glanced as Malik asked him to speak. “I'm sure, you're surprised by my change of attitude.”

“The first impression is important, and to be honest me and Ivano don't like you.” Sky answered honestly, “But indeed, I was a little surprised by your attitude lately. Unfortunately we're not close enough to greet each other, are we?”

Malik smiled wryly, scratching the back of his head in nervousness. “Yes, you're right. My attitude is bad, and I don't ask you to understand or forgive me.”

The second step stopped, about five meters from Ivano and Yatna. Malik turned around, looking straight at the sky blue eyes. A pair of irises as bright as the horizon, and the vastness of the ocean. Beautiful at once, you will not be able to read the contents completely.

“But if possible, can we be friends?” Malik asked, reached out, and looked at the nervous Sky.

Not for a second, Malik's hand had already been reached by the Sky. The teenager shook him tightly with a sincere smile that Malik had just gotten this time.

“By pleasure!”

Malik was stunned for a moment before smiling sideways. This child is too naive, or indeed it is unsuspecting. Though Sky and Malik have a family background that requires themselves to be vigilant, full of judgment, and not easy to believe. But, hey! malik was not expecting it. Make friends without looking at status, benefits, and background.

“Come on, you guys are seriously discussing work here?” suddenly Ivano came up with a hand full of corn dogs of various variations. “We are studying tour, and are having a picnic. beta seng understand the minds of young masters.”

The sky just laughed, he ignored Ivano's curse and chose to focus on determining what variant he was about to eat. Yatna stood beside Malik and gave him a serving of corn dog.

“So, you finally dared to invite him to be friends?”

Malik was surprised to hear that. He did not expect, Yatna was able to understand his strange behavior lately. Malik nodded, receiving a snack made of sausage and flour.

“It's good. I almost dragged forcibly if you didn't dare to talk.” Malik coughed, his food almost went wrong into the hole. “Be annoying just because you don't know how to act, talk. I clearly know how frustrating it is, because one of my friends looks like you.”

For a moment Malik could feel the sad feeling of the radiance of Yatna's eyes. A second later it disappeared, replaced with a cheerful look.

“Sekedar reminded, I will not stay silent if you mess with Sky.”

Unknowingly the teenager's body tensed up, cold sweat descended slowly on his nape. Yatna said cheerfully with a wide smile. But the aura of the girl managed to make Malik goosebumps.

Malik nodded in understanding, and Yatna came back like a typical teenage girl. Cheerful, naive, and fun.
