“dusk comes again” he said staring at the reflection of mega behind the stream. “ayo” said I woke up from his lap. A day full of mixed emotions, we walked up

Jeep and return to the station.

Midway he was silent, as if there was a distance between the two of us. “are you bored?” tanyaku break the silence. “not” he said briefly.

At 7pm we arrived at the station, waiting in the carriage for the night train ride. I looked at him just silent once I wanted to talk but only a short answer was thrown.

 “what are your plans tomorrow?” kutapkulagi. “aku tomorrow start going to school again mr. General”, “oh.

so” Say I smile.

He looked at me between wonder or sadness “quiet we will meet again” said I assure. “would I go home to Sia country? When did you get home, General ?” his words discriminated against me, I silenced.

“ah sorry I'm too sassy”papnya shut up. “tuan I hope we can chat again even briefly, another week my study time here is over. I'll go back to school in my country. I hope you take me and chat with me” he said looking at me. His blank gaze made me not know what the intention behind his words. “ya, of course” answered I'm sure.

At 2 in the morning, we have arrived at the station where the departure began. “aku take you to dorm” said I assure “ disrespectful Mr. General. I stayed here for a while.” Said sitting in the queue. “ya well I gave up on you” said I.

 “you, thank you for accompanying me to waste time” he said monologue. I was closed even though I did not sleep no longer dare to act on him. I was too careless.

“whether you hear it or not I want to tell you a story, today I will go to Rotterdam and some other places.There are country files that I must take before reporting to the head office. you know what ? the rank of General that you summoned for me will soon be void, yes not bad meaning but I will be assigned to the headquarters at least fill the vacancy at the embassy. Maybe we can meet again sometime, you know what the embassy's job is ? sometimes I would go to some countries for business. If one day there is a chance to return to the country of Sia I will take it to meet you” he said. This was the first time he spoke so long, there was a heavy feeling that overcame my heart, my mind was ignorant. Surely my tears will spread.

“you're crying? Have you not slept yet?” I asked him to remain silent and take a big breath. The conversation about separation is just painful. Cobalt.

Teng..

I opened my eyes and fell asleep in the long chair. He has left, it's okay it should be. “spirit!! You also have to go to school, I'll be back to my country to give you the best time. Semangat” says I'm monologuing. I took my bag and passed away to the dormitory.

It's good that he's gone, at least leaving himself unfriendly it's easier to forget me. Let him see me as a loser or whatever.

 I'm stepping foot into the base, time to get back to the real world. Your choice Yue

“General, welcome” greet my students on the home page. I replied with a smile and waved past entering the headquarters.

“Tom, immediately prepare Jeep for my departure” said I saw Tom who was still dreaming.

“aihhh, your general is back. Sorry I just got home. Soon my General prepare”

Tok.dok..

Sound knocking my room door, “My general John wants to report”, “ya enter” sahutku while wearing a tie and suit service. “anda\ do not rest for a while General ?” bargain John, “what do you want to report John ?” my many.

“we only got 50 children\ protege for this military special line General. Sorry”, “continue search, the West area I think is still not comprehensive”, I said while wearing shoes.

“initially many registered General but there are some involved cases of data forgery. Some more leave some because their colleagues are here”, “I know not wrong to appoint me John. Keep it meticulous, no matter their background” yes, as long as they are resistant to pressure, and rigorous training sends them away from relatives as well as my same, most importantly, their patriotism must be strong.

 A comparable offer is not ?, they obtain public facilities, status, living allowance only on condition that they release interests in order to unite the vision of the mission. “but General for children who are not his territory ?” I looked at John and I pointed at myself. “well General I understand” said John lowered his head. I am not a child of this country, real evidence is not a hindrance. I hope you understand John, my inner self as it passes up the Jeep and pokes the gas away from the base.
