MARY

17. Unindependent

"Meet me Mary, my name is Maria Hubrecht,"

Said Maria then introduced herself, her hand outstretched towards the woman who was now in front of her,

The woman who was originally seen was still afraid of Maria, but on the other hand she also felt very indebted to the ghost of the Dutch None, who was,

The woman who almost became a victim of abuse then reached out her hand too, although with still a little trembling, the woman shook Maria's hand cold and tender like cotton, which was still a little shivering,

"Germany,"

The woman said she introduced herself,

"Crossed? Its name is similar to the musical instrument of bamboo huh?"

Said Maria,

The woman nodded quickly, too,

"Not the flute, but Miss Seruni,"

The serunion returned and released his handshake with Mary,

Maria giggles too, though,

"Oh Seruni, yes yes..."

Mary is sleepy,

They then looked at the dead soldiers, as well as the women who had fainted from fear of seeing Mary,

"I think these soldiers have come to make you free, having made the people of my country go away and some are killed,"

Maria lirih said,

Seruni sighed,

"Absolutely not so Miss Maria, just that they are more cruel, nowadays from various regions young men and young men are brought out of nowhere, reportedly some are used as slave labor, some are soldiers,"

Seruni said, making Mary so remembered the figure of Joseph, the loyal servant of his family, who even remained loyal to Mary even though the Miss was dead and became an obscure ghost,

Seruni now began to cry bitterly, of course he must still be very hit with what had happened to him, he said,

"Food is sent to where the soldiers are fighting against the allies, we are running out of food, the indigenous people are starving Miss, our people are going to suffer more and more from hunger,"

Seruni increasingly became his cry, he really felt devastated when he told everything, he said it all,

"So the promise of liberation is just a lie?"

Ask Mary,

Seruni shook his head slowly,

"Let's see Miss Maria, I'm just a little fellow who doesn't really know what's going on, all I know is that right now things are suddenly getting worse, murders are everywhere, abuse everywhere, it feels like life is getting more and more unsettled, not to mention food is getting scarce, we're out Miss, we're gonna run out if this keeps going,"

Lirih Seruni was sad, though,

Maria extended her hand towards Seruni's shoulder, then patted her gently,

"Yes, I know, even when our nation is in power, I know very well you indigenous people have actually suffered a lot, too,"

Said Maria,

Seruni nodded her head, confirming what Maria had said,

Indeed, if the indigenous people have lived so difficult on their own land of birth, it is true,

Fatigue, the women of Seruni friends one by one woke up, Maria who was worried they would be afraid again finally decided to no longer appear, he said,

He also said goodbye to Seruni,

"I'll stay here, your friends are awake, while you're safe, tomorrow when the light goes to a village not far from here to ask for help, and these bodies ask them to just throw them in the lake behind the rest house, they're savage men, worthy of being the food of the demons,"

Maria said.
