Aisle Time (Soldiers) The Past
History knows you
"Son, Mami wants you to just acquaintance with Bima. He's the Army, Papi's men you were. " Say Mike's Mother.
"Mommy, I told you. I don't want to have a boyfriend or husband like the late Papi. How Papi died, Papi was shot while on duty. " Say the Sahara.
"Mommy wants you to know first, it doesn't fit you to decide."
"Indeed why should he be introduced to the Sahara? "
"He is your Papi's man, your Papi's trust. How did your Papi die until his last message, Papi you assigned him to him. "
"Sure reason alone, he must have had a sinister plan. Don't - don't shooters are insiders including Bima. "
"My guy's been caught, his guy's been the one the country's been trying to target. You try first yes, Papi's choice is the best for you. "
"Just set it up Mam, I want to go to college first. " Sahara said, kissing the back of her Mami's hand.
"Saharan."
"What else is it, Mom? "
"Papi's choice is never wrong."
"It's up to Mami, set it up. "

"So you're in a match with the Army, while you refuse to have an Army husband because of the trauma that happened with your Papi." Agnes Sahara's.
"I also do not understand, Papi when dying again still had time to match me. Just like I don't know, it must be ugly. " Say the Sahara.
"Hahahahha, you want all these men to look like the hero in the book, like Captain Hardi."
"Handsome face, still young dear dead on the battlefield. " Sahara said as he shook his head.
"But if his face is like her you want?"
"Origin not the Army. "
"But why is the thesis material you picked up about Captain Hardi, and his great resource man you got. "
"Because of his struggle for the country, he was willing to sacrifice in order to protect the people from the invaders. His patriot soul is truly enviable. The way he died, when a bomb fell in the middle - the middle of the worshipers who were carrying out worship when the invaders attacked, the bomb he was carrying ran away when he found out a bomb was thrown until it exploded destroying his body."
"His source is that, his son? "
"Yes, Grandma Lembayung. But the identity of his wife is not explained in history perhaps a commoner."
"It must have been sad for her family at the time." Agnes.
"I and Mami cried I saw Papi's uniform drenched in blood, and Captain Hardi's clothes were also still stored in his house. I just took a picture of it." Said Sahara while showing the photo on her mobile phone.
"Well, shadow her. " Say Agnes.
"Papi's uniform is also still stored, should not be thrown away." Sahara.
The voice of Sahara's mobile phone rang while checking there was an unfamiliar mobile number.
"Who, why not lift? " Ask Agnes.
"People prank times." Answer Sahara.
"Tuh call again. " Say Agnes.
Sahara picks up the phone from a phone number she doesn't know.
"Hallo."
"Right, who is this? "
"I'm Bima. "
"Oh you, what's wrong? " Tanya Sahara ketus.
"Just check your phone number, Mike's mom gave me that." Answer Bima.
"Keep on what? "
"You must have known, so I want to know you first. "
"My name is Sahara Maharani, Student of History Department. 22 Years of the final semester. "
The sound of Bima laughing to make the Sahara more furious.
"Funny huh? "
"Not to mention I already know, you save my number. Because I'll definitely call you again."
"Please, but don't expect me to lift it."
Sahara instantly turns off unilaterally by showing her irritated face.
"So the Army you mean? " Ask Agnes.
"Yes, Mami was giving my cell phone number all to him. " Answer the Sahara.
"You are that if, Papi you are still alive will definitely accept, just because your Milky Way Army is afraid like Papi. "
"You don't know what it's like to lose, until now we still can't accept. I'm afraid Agnes, afraid that it will be the same in my life."
"You don't think so, Papi is indeed the way it is."
"Obviously, I don't want to have an Army husband. "
*****
Sahara stared at the photo - the photo of Captain Hardi lined up on the wall, old woman who is now sitting in a wheelchair continues to stare at Sahara.
"Are you interested in my father's story? "
"Nek Lembayung, Captain Hardi's story was very interesting to me, I liked how he fought for the country, until he closed his eyes he was willing to die for the sake of the crowd."
"Father was so very loving, I remember that time at the age of 5 years. Dad often rarely went home, because he had to be on the front line, several times Dad was injured by gunshot wounds and even cuts. But Dad never felt any pain, Mother who always cried for fear of losing Dad. As your story goes, when I found out Dad died, Mom was endlessly crying until when I was 7 years old Mom got sick, she always said miss Dad. Mother's love was very great to Dad, and at the age of 8, she died."
"I just left Papi alone now feel a deep longing, is Grandma at this age who wants a century Grandma still feels longing for them? "
"That feeling will never go away, that longing exists every day. Missing Father and Missing Mother, Maybe soon Grandma will meet them, because in every day Grandma dreams always dream of them. And they're just as much extending his hand."
*****
The Sahara continues to search for references to the complete biodata and to Captain Hardi's career journey from several books to match that of Grandma Lembayung's story with books from several sources.
"That's right, these books are accurate. But Captain Hardi's wife why is not included in the history book, and there is only the name of his son. He died on April 5, 1939, of a 5-year-old child."
The Sahara seeks other sources from the internet, but there is still no genealogy that explains who Captain Hardi's wife, the mother of Grandmother.
"Did Captain Hardi marry a woman whose identity was hidden? "
The Sahara continued to think and open another book, but suddenly the library room became dark as the outside sky arrived - it was cloudy. The sound of lightning roared with such a fierce wind.
The Sahara walked towards the large glass looking at the lightning flash so very different from usual, the sky was getting darker and the world was getting darker unseen.
