Silent dawn on the edge of the forest on the outskirts of the Ukir kingdom. The headlights of the royal car quickly drove and stopped quickly (srtrrrt) the rear door was opened, then opened the trunk and asked the driver for help.
"hey help here, or I'll throw you out with him too" (the voice of someone in neat clothes but full of sour sweat like meatball vinegar).
"Yes, I'm coming" (said the fat driver in modest clothes, as if he had just woken up, only wearing a plaid sarong, but there is a seam patch on the holster in the shape of a heart, a sign that he really loves his wife who sewed it for him, yes, that heart right on his ass).
who exactly are these two hasty men. And what do they want to throw away in the middle of the day like this, where the sun still hasn't shown itself and maybe still asleep because the alarm hasn't been reset, or the alarm clock is out of battery. I don't know, let's put aside the sun that hasn't yet woken up, and now let's move on to these two men.
A thick burlap sack was lifted and the driver accidentally dropped it and made something in it hit a rock right below it (klotak), the sound was quite loud.
driver, "sorry prince, I didn't mean to..." (said the driver on the burlap sack he dropped.)
Wait a minute, who is he calling a prince, and who is actually in the bag. We will rewind this story to midnight last night when the kingdom was shocked by the news about the prince of the land of Ukir who suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The voices of everyone in the Royal Palace who gathered and tried to search for Prince Makariyo throughout the royal palace, but found no clue, and then the prince was declared missing.
The prince of this Ukir land is the sole heir to the throne of the Ukir kingdom and will be the King who will lead this Ukir land someday and now he has disappeared somewhere, that's what the entire Ukir royal palace knows.
"Where is the prime minister and what is he doing" (voice of one of the prime minister's subordinates).
"He was on an assignment outside the kingdom three days ago, and maybe tomorrow he can only get to the kingdom" (said one of the royal guards).
And the whole kingdom is now waiting for the signal that will be issued by the prime minister tomorrow when he is in the kingdom, because he is the highest person in charge after the King, even the prince must obey him, because the prince is still young and not old enough to rule the kingdom.
Back to the dew-filled dawn and the sound of crickets singing through the dawn.
"cricket, cricket, cricket, cricket" (crickets sound from the east end)
"cricket, cricket" (crickets from the west end)
"kruik, kruik, kruik, aaahhh" (the sound of a cricket biting the driver carrying the prince in a burlap sack.)
it turned out that the reason the driver dropped the prince was when he was bitten by a cricket. The uncivilized cricket that bit the driver was probably laughing at the surprised driver.
"cricket, cricket, cricket" (the sound of the crickets laughing) Yes, what kind of crickets laugh, all I know is that they just keep on creaking. Learn like crickets, even though they are happy or sad, laughing or crying, they are consistent, never showing their emotions, they are still rich, crickets, crickets, and crickets keep going until they stop sounding because they have been eaten by a slender bird who thinks it is a nutritious breakfast. high in the morning.
because the crickets had died from being eaten by the cendet bird, the driver continued to carry the prince in a burlap sack with one other man. who exactly is this man, dressed neatly into the forest and carrying the prince in a burlap sack, is he a forest ranger? Of course, it is impossible for a forest ranger to bring a luxury car into the forest, and be accompanied by a driver, then who is he really? let's see what happens next.
they both carried the burlap sack in a hurry and seemed like they wanted to throw it into the ravine at the edge of the forest.
"With me banishing you, the greatest threat to your rule over this land of Carving no longer exists, huahaha (evil laugh, as evil as a stepmother who wants to force her stepdaughter to take a bath, even though she has just bathed). You evil stepmother.
I mean the bad guy, sorry stepmother, hehehe. because not all stepmothers in the world are evil as described in the story of Bawang Putih, oh yes, I forgot that my mother was told to buy garlic, she said she wanted to cook Auam Soup. oh yes she is not my stepmother, she is my biological mother, be proud of you who still have a biological mother, yes maybe you are often scolded but that is proof that she still has love for you, and always healthy for my mother and mother all of you who are reading, don't forget to make your mother happy, heaven is here.
under the soles of Mother's feet, remember that.
Prince Makariyo is an orphan, so what happened to his parents. both of his parents died from being poisoned while they were having breakfast, and the suspect was the royal cook himself. But when the cook was caught and put in jail, he cried while apologizing, I don't know what really happened, if an assassin had succeeded in killing his target he might be happy, but not with the cook, he looked really sad , and feel guilty. What really happened, of course, will be revealed in the next chapter.
So let's examine the words of the man earlier, he said that if the prince was thrown into the abyss and died, then there is no longer a threat to his power. Could it be he is? yes we all guessed right, he is the prime minister who wants absolute power and no one can overthrow him except Prince Makariyo, so this is why the prime minister threw the prince into the abyss.
prime minister, "on three, we throw him, one..."
driver, "plus one equals two..." (said the driver)
prime minister, "crazy driver, we are no longer learning addition, we are learning to count, let's start, one..."
driver, "two..."
compactly said, "three .... " (throwed the prince into the abyss of memories. let all those memories disappear in the deep swallow of a heart that is never appreciated). sorry my poetic soul appeared suddenly, hehehe.
when they had finished throwing the prince into the abyss they hurried away.
they just threw it, but they didn't confirm whether the prince really fell into the abyss or not.
the next day...
Bang bang bang (gun sound startled me)
who dared to take out his rifle in the morning and shock the whole forest. He is a hunter who is relaxing not hunting and just trying to get his rifle because he just bought a new rifle yesterday.
when the hunter was aiming with a small scope in his rifle, he saw that there was a burlap sack stuck in the gap in the tree trunk, then he carried a pole which was quite long and then he tried to check what was actually in the burlap sack, but as he walked carrying the pole, he tripped over a rock stuck in the ground.
suet... tuek... (proper sound of the pole hitting the prince's ass being stuck)
prince, "ouch... my ass hurts..."
hunter, "hah, it turns out to be a human"
then the hunter took the rope and climbed, the rope was used to tie the sack and was lowered little by little from the tree, but at that time the rope broke and made the prince fall 30cm high. and finally the prince was okay because he only fell with a height of 30cm. saved the prince because the hunter had helped him, then he opened the gunny sack like opening Levis pants, because there was a zipper in the gunny sack. very cool burlap sack designer.
hunter, "what's your name son?" (question directly asked the hunter)
prince, "name? my name.... ouch (while holding his head covered in dried blood marks) i... yo..." he stuttered as he spoke.
hunter, "does your head hurt, and you forgot everything that happened?"
prince, "all I remember is iyo, maybe that's my name."
as a child the prince was always called Iyo by his father and mother, and it is still remembered today, even though he lost his memory.
hunter, "it's okay, we will go back to my house first and we will treat your wound first, then we will continue to talk."
The prince was brought to the hunter's house and the next incident will continue in the next chapter, so for those of you who are curious about the next story from the "CARVING" series, don't forget to read the sequel. And for those of you who aren't interested, maybe I can borrow my neighbor's rope to pull you all in. hehehe no kidding readers..
