100. When the Task Calling

Actually for Galih not saying goodbye to Kirana that difficult but to his daughter. He took heavy steps towards his home. He joined his brother-in-law and then lowered Adnan in the yard of the new house he reappeared his motorbike to the house. During his journey to the real house not how far he kept daydreaming. His brain kept trying to put together the words he wanted to say to Amira so that the little girl would not cry.

When he got home, Galih quickly grabbed the backpack on top of the closet.Right said his wife, the dust was a lot. Though he remembered just putting the backpack for a few weeks up there. Kirana sent him some messages that could guide him to quickly pack up. Kirana dictates Galih from start to finish in detail so that it doesn't take much time for her to pack she can already leave the house again.

Galih first picked up his sister-in-law and said goodbye to his daughter. When I got there, Amira was already getting sleepy. She had just finished drinking her milk and started lying next to Daffa.

Galih chose to approach Amira and slowly said to her, “Mimi. Can?” ask Galih.

“Tomorrow Pa, Mimi is sleepy,” he replied while rubbing his eyes.

“Do not rub nak,” prevent Galih.

“Mi, Papa wants to go to work first. Can ya?”

“Lama Pa?”

“Old, no papa right? Sorry yes Papa has not been able to accompany his sister Mama,” said Galih who is still loyal to stick to his daughter.

Half his heart was unwilling to leave. Kirana his wife is currently in a condition where she needs a full 24 hours while her daughter also definitely still needs supervision from both parents. It's not nice if Amira always put on both her grandfather or on Papa Adnan and Mama Lucy.

Galih and his wife were already quite worried because Amira could become so mature beyond children her age. It was not only because of the factor of not having a weak-hearted father and mother in his childhood, but also because his current Papa Galih so often left him for duty out.

Besides Amira, Galih's worries also lead to his wife. The position out there that the perpetrator who had hurt Kirana was still hanging around and from what happened a few days ago Galih was enough to conclude that the perpetrator was vengeful to Raihan and Kirana.

“Kak, Papa does not want to go,” muttered Galih to his daughter.

He still had time to hug Amira so that his daughter was asleep while waiting for Adnan to prepare. They will leave at 1am today.

“Ami also wants Papa not to leave. Papa Temenin Mama is equally adept here, same sister too,” said Amira.

“But.., Papa will keep the peace. If Papa does not go to work later who keeps the peace. Mama said if we are not peaceful we cannot go to school. Ami likes Pa school, so Papa must go to work for peace, so Ami can go to school,” Amira said.

Again pensive. He did not expect that such a sentence could come out of his daughter's mouth, “Ami was taught who said so?” ask Galih.

“Diajari Mama, Mama always told Amira that Amira was the son of a peacekeeper so Amira should not ask Papa just for Amira alone. Because Papa Galih and Papa Raihan are peacekeepers for everyone. Make Amira friends too,” says Amira again.

“Printernya son of Papa. Sleep yuk, Papa temenin. But I'm sorry Papa can't wait until you wake up" said Galih with a smile.

Calibration with a heavy heart must leave Amira on the akung-utinya. He bids Lucy a goodbye and asks her for help to pick up Kirana tomorrow with their father-in-law. Galih and Adnan left in a row. Both of them are ready to use the black uniform Brimob pride with complete attributes as well as a large backpack containing their needs for several weeks at the place of assignment.

Approaching 12 o'clock, Galih ordered drivers to remove the vehicles they were about to use. Galih was assisted by four aides to check the entire completeness of the vehicle, making sure the fuel was full, the brakes were safe, and there was no damage to the slightest.

“Where to be ready?”

“Ok.”

Switch to prepare the composition. Beside him was Adnan watching the line from where he stood. Both Galih, Adnan, and the rest of the troops are ready to use bulletproof vests, helmets, and full armament.

Not until 10 minutes later, the absence is complete. Galih directs his troops to enter the truck and they all begin to set off. Last in the front row Galih and Adnan enter the service car. The car drove while sounding the siren to be the leader of all the troops behind it.

Galih took the time to raise his hand and pray fervently he prayed all his work smoothly and did not forget he also prayed that his wife's children stay safe and well in Jogja.

“Yes Allah I wish I was there when Kirana would give birth later, aamiin,” Inner Galih in her prayer.

...***...

A few hours away, they finally arrived at TKP. Not until they report to Mabes they are immediately asked to make barricades and help brimob from other polda to dispel the time that began to riot. Under the command of Galih Arsa Shiddiq they advanced forward, creating barricades to suppress the time. Undaunted by being beaten, not even afraid of being pelted by Galih's troops continue to press the time until it feels like night has arrived.

At around 11pm, Galih helped his team to make a tent while the rest made dinner with Adnan in the soup kitchen. They set up a tent near the HI roundabout, not far from the scene of the riot. Galih took the time to give news to his wife's child and then put back his cellphone so that he could maximum use both hands to work.

As soon as he finished, Galih asked his team to rest immediately. There are some who sleep but there are also those who are on guard if something happens or else that is not desirable. Galih was actually welcome to sleep, but somehow his eyes could not be closed. His mind kept floating.

To dispel his thoughts, Galih decided to stand guard with some of his members. He sat near the front tent, took off his vest and helmet for a moment and sipped the coffee that his aide had just brought.

“Nand why not sleep? If just to keep watch we are enough,” said his aide.

“No papa, I still have a lot of thoughts. Won't be able to sleep,” replied Galih.

“Command of mind mom at home huh?”

“Kot more so. Mom is home alone and no one is with her. He takes care of Amira even though he himself also needs to be treated,” confided Galih accidentally.

“Ndan, sorry before. I had heard a story from Commander Aji about the struggle of a brimob who was forced to accuse his daughter over the phone because at that time he was running errands in the east,” he explained.

“Yes if that's the hell I know. I even got to know him. I just don't expect that either. No matter how scared you look at the wife in pain but mending me nemenin,” said Galih.

“How many months has Mother Ndan been pregnant? how I think I worry so much,” asked one another.

“Log in 8th month,” says Galih.

“Waduh, already want to be born dong ndan,”

“Yes that's why.”
