Kancil Trio

Season 2 #Chapter 16

Alex was very surprised when he saw the photo on the frame, which he was holding.

" It's impossible!" Said Alex.

     Hearing Alex's words, Cantika walked over to him.

" What's up, honey?" Ask Cantika.

" This.." Alex showed Cantika the picture on the frame.

   Cantika was similarly surprised by Alex.

" It's not Grandpa Lukman!" Cantika.

" Yes, I'm sure he's Grandpa Lukman." Alex answered Cantika's words.

" That means Grandpa Lukman knew Doctor Lazuardi!" Cantika looked at Alex's face.

" Yes, we'd better ask that later to Grandpa Lukman.

" Let's find more clues about your father's family!" 

    Alex opened some drawers that were on the nightstand and dresser. When Alex opens the photo album. He watches everything carefully.

" Dear, it looks like it's Doctor Lazuardi's house." Alex showed me a picture of a family standing in front of a very large house.

" That means we have to find the address of the house?" Cantika noticed the European-style multi-storey house building.

" Yes, let's take this picture. To show Grandpa Lukman." Cantika.

" I just thought that way too." Alex took the photo from the album.

" Boyang Cantika, look!" Erlangga came and brought a small photo album.

     Erlangga who had preferred to go into his father's room rather than go to his Grandfather's room. A photo was taken of their father doing graduation. And some photos of his father's graduation with friends.

" We can find information at the university where Dad went to college!" Erlangga.

" Wait…." Erlangga was remembering - remembering something.

" Aah, I remember now. The face of the same person in the photo. I saw him when I came to university." Erlangga said to Cantika.

" Really?" Cantika asked with a smile to find a bright spot to meet her father's family.

" Yes, I'm sure. Because I also had a chance to talk to him." Answer Erlangga.

" We should meet him then." Cantika held both of her sister's hands and smiled happily.

" Yes, Brother." 

    Alex and Cantika spent a few hours there. And they also brought some things that they would have needed when searching for his father's family later. 

*******

Now Alex and his family have returned to the city and of course with the entire Danang family.

" Mister Danang will stay here and take care of the house." Alex said as he stepped down from the car.

    Danang and his entire family gaped to see a house so big and magnificent. Which will be occupied by them.

" Mister Danang and your wife will occupy this room. If it's Didi and Dodo, the room next to him." Cantika invited the Danang family into the room they were going to occupy.

" Dodo, do you dare to sleep alone?" Ask Cantika.

" Yes, Madam. Dodo's already big, so dare to sleep alone." Answer Dodo and invite laughter there.

" This is Didi's room." Cantika opened a room that had been designed for the boys' room.

" Thank you, Madam. Didi really likes her room." Didi's eyes sparkled - twinkle.

" I beg you for help, sir…. Ma!" Cantika said to the couple.

" Okay, our Lady will hold and carry out the trust you have given us." Danang said with glazed eyes.

    His three children were happy because they would play as much as possible with Didi and Dodo. Before their departure to America.

*******

     After dinner, Alex decides to contact Grandpa Lukman. And will ask about Doctor Lazuardi.

" Na'alaikumsalam." The answer.

" So, Cake. Somebody wants Al, ask Grandpa."

" What is it, Al."

" Grandfather Lukman, do you know anyone named Doctor Lazuardi? Ask Alex.

" Which doctor is Lazuardi?" Lukman seems to have forgotten his friend.

" Lazuardi had a wife named Doctor Paramitha!" 

" Oh, Lazuardi!" Lukman just remembered his good friend.

    Then Alex called Grandpa Lukman. He told the outline that happened in the Fisherman Village. And it turns out to be true that Grandpa Lukman was good friends with Doctor Lazuardi.

" Then tomorrow you and Beautiful come to Grandpa's house. I'll tell you what Grandpa knows about Lazuardi." Lukman's orders to Alex.

" All right, Cake." Alex is happy.

******** 

     At almost midnight Alex could not sleep. And he even opened another photo album that he brought earlier from the haunted house. The photos he was looking at were of Lazuardi as he was a soldier.

" It turns out that once Grandpa Lazuardi also had time to be a soldier, yes." Alex mutters.

" But why did he quit and become a doctor, huh?" Alex opened the photo album again.

" What's the connection, huh? The loss of Joseph's father's memory with his family?" Alex kept asking in his heart.

Alex, Cantika, and Erlangga come to the Judge's family mansion. They were welcomed as always. Lukman and Gendis have been waiting for their arrival.

" That's you, Al. Why do you rarely play here?" Ask Grandma Gendis.

" Sorry Grandma. You see the children are wanting to play outside and do not want to be invited to visit Grandpa." Said Alex.

" What story do you want to hear about Lazuardi?" Lukman asked, confirming his sitting position.

" Everything Cake. Tell me everything Grandpa knows about him." Cantika is so passionate - gebu. 

    Cantika can't wait to hear the story of Grandpa Lukman since last night she's been feeling unsettled. I think Cantika wants to hurry - early morning.

*******

Lukman started his story about him and Lazuardi.

" We and Lazuardi were friends when we were soldiers when Indonesia was colonized by Japan at that time."

" Japan made many indigenous youth to be made PETA soldiers. Lazuardi and I are in the same line. But when Japan lost the world war, they needed medical personnel to help them. Because of Lazuardi's intelligence, he was recruited to medical school."

" Lazuardi who was from a family is and is respected, did not waste the opportunity. Lazuardi also prefers to help others. And being a PETA soldier was not his desire either. He said he was more happy to fight with the guerrillas when fighting the invaders"

" Different from Lazuardi, I chose to attend Bandung Kogyo Daigaku (BKD)."

" Short story we parted a few years. And we meet again in the second Dutch war of military aggression."

" We fight together with the young people who were once formed from PETA soldiers. To fight the Dutch and defend the independence of this country."

" After the end of the war I also stopped being a soldier and served more in pesantren and family-owned plantations."

" Since then we've both completely lost contact. And we only met again ten years later."

" It turns out that Lazuardi stopped being a soldier and preferred to be a doctor. Moreover, his wife was seriously ill after giving birth to her second child."

" It was our communication and meeting after a long separation. And after that we never met again until now."

    Lukman once looked up at the ceiling in the living room. It was obvious that he was longing for his old friend.
