Canticles

61. They Are...

After a moment of calm down, Ustadz Mahdi asked about the two spirits who had been driven out by his best friend.

" So what's the story, what really happened to the same spirit that disturbed the children was Ustadz...?" ask ustadz Mahdi.

" True Ustadz, I'm also curious about daritadi. Want it but feel the time is not right. It just so happens that Ustadz Mahdi asked me a question I was also represented..," Gama said, grinning.

Gama's words made everyone laugh. Ustadz Akbar nodded and began to tell him what he had seen.

" When I helped Fadlan, the spirit that entered Fadlan's body was the spirit of freedom fighters. He is one of the unknown heroes. He died after a series of physical and non-physical tortures. He was forced to point out the hiding places of other fighters at the time. Even the Dutch held a map in front of him and forced him to show the location where the fighter markaz. Because he continued to refuse finally he was beheaded and his body was abandoned so that it became a wild dog food." said Ustadz Akbar.

Ustadz Akbar's story left everyone speechless and moved.

" What did he keep drawing in the air earlier Ustadz...?" ask Rex.

" Oh that, he drew a map of the hideout of our original fighters. He said that he deliberately misled the Dutch until they entered a trap and were slaughtered by Indonesian fighters." said Ustadz Akbar.

" Well great, salute for his idea and courage..," said Rex proudly as he brandished his thumb.

" yes. That's why he possessed Fadlan just to say that he didn't betray him at all. He actually directed the Dutch troops to the wrong path, which is a trap that was deliberately made by Indonesian troops. That is why I say thank you for helping the struggle of the Indonesian nation to independence as it is now. I also say that times are different and wars are over. When I asked him to go home he agreed because he felt there was nothing more to fight for..," said Ustadz Akbar with a sad face.

After hearing the words of Ustadz Akbar, Fadlan and his friends also stared at each other with feelings of guilt. If they had known that if they had summoned a warrior spirit, they might not have been this sad. They feel stupid and presumptuous because they have toyed with the spirit of fighters who have contributed to our beloved homeland.

" We pray that he can go quietly and his charity becomes an unbroken charity because it is enjoyed by all the people of Indonesia." said Ustadz Akbar who is embraced by everyone.

" What about the spirits of women who follow Emir Ustadz...?" ask Rex curiously.

" Oh, if he's a little different. Even though it has a sad ending but I do not agree with the same way he took while still alive first.," said Ustadz Akbar.

" What do you mean Ustadz...?" rex didn't understand.

" The woman during her life was a PSK. He said he was initially framed by his girlfriend to become a PSK. He said if he was willing to give everything to the lover because the man promised to marry her. Unfortunately, he was lied to. When he took the promise, he was sold to a prostitution place." said Ustadz Akbar.

" When he didn't run Ustadz...?" ask Gama annoyed.

" She said she didn't know if it was sold because her boyfriend said he wanted to know her parents. When invited to a house, he just took it. Keep on time his girlfriend bothered to go to the stall because she wanted to buy something she also believed. But when two men came and dragged her into the room, she realized she was being tricked. But late. He could not run and continue to be a PSK until the end of his life..," said Ustadz Akbar.

" Therefore he appeared flirtatious when he possessed the Emir earlier Ustadz...?" ask Rex.

" right. That is in accordance with his habit of looking for customers..," said ustadz Akbar reluctantly.

" But why did she sue the Emir to marry her...?" ask Komar who has been silent since listening to the conversation.

" The look on the Emir's face looks like his former lover. So he came and demanded marriage because he thought the Emir was a former lover who had taken his chastity first.

" Well, two stories that are equally emotionally draining Ustadz..," said Ustadz Mahdi.

" One is struggling to maintain independence, uh one is instead stuck with the sweet promise of men, " Komar said as he shook his head.

" Therefore I do not like men Om, I like women.", Gama's joke was greeted with laughter echoing in the room.

" Yes, there can be cursed to be your stone with your mother...!" sahut Komar loud to make the laughter sound again.

" So after this they have to do what Ustadz...?" rex asked after his laughter subsided.

" Dengerin the kids...!" said Rex loudly while staring at Fadlan cs with a fierce look.

" Yes Bang..," said Fadlan and his friends together.

Seeing the attitude of Fadlan and his friends who put a sense of reluctance and respect on Rex makes Komar and everyone smiles.

Rex and Gama seemed to walk casually towards the house after parting with the Fadlan cs troupe at the crossroads of the road. Komar still survives in the house of ustadz Mahdi because he still wants to talk a lot with the ustadz and his guest.

Rex seems to enjoy Gama who looks calm while occasionally rubbing his stomach.

" Why Lo, hungry huh...?" ask Rex.

" Yes Rex. I haven't eaten anything since that afternoon" Gama said as he hissed.

" Why can you, in the workshop did not eat earlier...?" ask Rex.

" I almost had lunch with Edi, Ipung and Riki. But because there is one and another thing I langsubg unplug and do not eat..," said Gama.

" One thing or another what the hell do you mean Lo...?" rex didn't understand.

" Ntar I am clear. We go to the stall Bude Simo yuk, temenin I eat pecel fish gurame there..," Gama invited.

" Oh yeah. Coincidentally I was also hungry..," Rex said to make Gama smile.

When arriving in front of the stall, Gama and Rex had to be willing to queue outside the tent because the stall was crowded with visitors at that time. After a little patience they can finally sit down and order their favorite food.

" So what the hell made Lo ga have lunch...?" ask Rex curiously.

" There are workshop customers who often come for various reasons just because they want to meet with me..," said Gama.

" Cih, ge-er aja Lo. Must be a girl, right...?" ask Rex.

" Yes..," said Gama.

" Kok tumben avoid, usually Lo gercep if you see a beautiful girl plus bohay. Don't-don't take a girl bini guy ya..," quipped Rex.

" I don't know and I don't want to know. I told you that I now have an escort candidate. That's why I stay away from girls who aren't that obvious. I don't want a girl that I'm incer misunderstand and refuse I'll. Danger right, even though I feel like it has really stuck with him..," said Gama.

" So, what's stuck...?" ask Rex.

" Love I'm Rex, what do you think...?" ask Gama annoyed.

" Oh, kirain Gue the other part that stuck..," said Rex origin to make Gama crackle.

" Therefore do not suudzon continue to be the same I..," said Gama while melengos.

Rex laughs while Gama appears to bend his face. Suddenly both of Gama's eyes rounded when he saw Lilian passing while riding a motorcycle with a man. Gama growled in annoyance as he clenched both his hands under the table.
