Zena: The Last Fight
Mr. Karim

Cheo trembled to see Zena slumped between the tombs of the two. Unheartened to see for yourself how fragile Mother who had always looked strong in front of her eyes. He almost cried, slowly approaching the two tombs that Zena mourned.

Sitting crouching while hugging the trembling body of the great woman. His heart also felt pain, his tears also fell along with the sobs that sounded from Zena.

"Sister, are they my Grandpa and Grandma?" ask Cheo lirih.

Zena stopped her crying, shrinking her tears before pulling Cheo's body to sit next to her. A tombstone made of jade inscribed with the names of the two of them. Still fresh in memory when the father returned home without life. Leaving him, who was only ten years old, was exactly like Cheo.

"Dad, Mom, it's Cheo. The kid I've been with since I was a baby now he's grown up. Look, he's handsome, isn't he? I hope you guys are calm in nature. Just pray for me good luck in every goal," said Zena while sowing flowers on the navel of both. Don't forget to put water on it.

"Hallo, Grandpa, Grandma! I'm sorry I just visited you." Cheo bowed in homage to the two.

They sat down, long enough. Silence in a delusion about the past.

"Zena!" Someone scolded Zena. Hearing the familiar voice, Zena turned her head and saw an old man standing at the door of the building.

"Uncle?" shaky. He moved even though both legs were shaking, taking him to step closer to the familiar old figure.

While Cheo, just turned his head in his seat. None of the islanders he knew because when they lived there, Zena never allowed Cheo to play out of the green hill area.

"Uncle!" Zena hugged the old man. Crying sobbing because of the burning taste. His chest tightened as he remembered how good the old man was in his arms.

Zena released a hug, staring at the wrinkled face before her with wet eyes. His nose was flushed, both his shoulders were shaking. The old man never saw his cry even though they met often. Perhaps after decades, it was Zena's first cry she saw.

The old hand touched Zena's cheek, wiping the water that fell on her. He shook his head while giving a sad smile.

"Ciul doesn't like to see you cry, he often tells Uncle about the fragile side you have behind your smiling lips. All this he who built it even Ciul forbid the cultivation of shrubs and forests near your home as well as green hills. He forbade everyone from approaching the area because other than there were always two tigers guarding, that place was also the place of the most beautiful memories between you and Ciul," said Mr. Karim who is none other than Ciul's father.

The figure that has warmth like a father, in the eyes of Zena he is the same as Adhikari who always showers him with love.

"Ciul, where is he now, Uncle?" Zena asked enthusiastically. There was a glimmer of hope that filled his heart, a smile developing perfectly. She still had the same smile as when she was a child.

Mr. Karim shook his head, his face turned sad. It made Zena's heart uneasy and wondered about Ciul's whereabouts.

"After marrying the girl from the city named Nira, Ciul decided to move. He doesn't live here, but he always visits Uncle regularly. Ciul already has a child, Zena. They always come here while on this island. Uncle saw the longing on their faces" replied Mr. Karim again as he pictured the faces as he came to the island.

Zena is stunned after hearing the news, but hope still exists about the certainty of where her best friend lives. He had guessed that Ciul was married to Nira. The kid? What's their son like? Zena imagining a small child in her mind, she glanced at Cheo who was fluttering between the tombs of his parents.

"So, Ciul doesn't live here? Where does he live, Uncle? And ... and how old is the child?" cycar Zena's.

He'll know how many years after he left they got married and moved.

"Maybe now that brat's six years old. I also miss his shrill voice calling my name 'Grandfather'." Mr. Karim smiled imagining his grandson's funny face with all the mischief he did.

Unknowingly Zena joined in smiling, impatiently wanting to meet soon. Pinches, cradles and even invites him to play. Adorable.

Mr. Karim realized, his face immediately turned towards Zena. He shook his head again.

"Away, Son. Very far from here, you once went with them and really very far," said Mr. Karim.

Zena was stunned, lowered her head and thought of all the possibilities.

"Is it possible that he lives in the village of Hulu?" zena muttered that could be heard in the old man's ears.

"Well, yeah! They lived there because the girl's parents were from there. They decided to settle in the village of Hulu and become farmers there, "sambar pak Karim quickly.

Zena's heart spurred quickly, hearing them living in the Hulu village a sense of anxiety instantly filled her heart. The news from Ben about the kidnapping of small children is what makes Zena muddled with anxiety.

Mr. Karim saw it all, he frowned confusedly at Zena who suddenly froze.

"What's up, kid? Does Zena know anything?" ask Mr. Karim can no longer refrain from asking questions.

Zena raised her face, looking at the old face she could not bear to tell Ciul's father the truth. Zena forced her smile, shook her head quickly so that Mr. Karim did not feel anxious.

"Ah, it's okay. It's just a coincidence that I'm going to that village, Uncle. All of you want to meet them and get to know their children too." Zena chuckled to hide the anxiety in her heart.

Seeing the usual attitude of Mr. Karim, he was sure that the old man did not know about the news of the kidnapping of children in the village.

"Wah ... what a coincidence, if Nak Zena meets him please send Uncle greetings to him. They have not told me in months, and for almost two years they have not come home. Uncle was feeling anxious," said the old man, complete with anxious gurgles imprinted on his face.

Zena gasped, looking up in disbelief at the news she received. Anxiety builds up in the heart, making it tight and difficult to breathe.

Mr. Karim glanced at Cheo who was unmoved in his place, the boy completely unmoved. Sit still and pay attention, without making a sound. His gaze turned to Zena who was pensive in her own mind.

"What is that child .. son of Zena?"

Doubtful. Mr. Karim asked while pointing at Cheo. Zena flinched, sighing before turning to call Cheo. The boy moved closer, bowing politely in front of Mr. Karim.

"His name is Cheo, he's my son, Uncle," said Zena introducing Cheo to the man.

"Hallo, I'm Cheo. Nice to meet you," said the boy very politely.

Mr. Karim chuckled, he pulled Cheo into a hug. Patting gently on the boy's back while laughing lightly.

"You look a lot like him, son!" said vibrate.

Zena smiled, but then she lost her smile when she heard the noise from behind the hill.
