Munding - Legend of the Wolf Fighter

Chapter 206 - Revelation Part 1

For Nia, life means only one thing, Yasin. And this time Yasin was gone, so this life for Nia was nothing. Afza held Nia's body which thrashed strongly and intended to attack Munding.

“Nia, I'll tell you about Yasin, but we made a deal first. You have to tell us everything you know about Chaos,” Munding said.

Nia looked a little calmer after hearing Munding's words, a glimmer of hope re-emerged in her heart. Hoping for Yasin to live and not die at the hands of Izrail.

After being silent and thinking for a while, Nia raised her head and stared intently at Munding, “Before we make a deal, tell me one thing! Is he alive or dead?” asked Nia in a flat and sharp tone.

Munding smiled, “Nia, that is the most important thing for you, after knowing it, why else would you share the information you have with us?” ask Munding.

“Give me at least certainty first!! If it turns out that he is dead, let all the secrets I know I brought to the grave with me,” cried Nia who suddenly hysterical again.

Munding took a deep breath, after thinking for a while, Munding then muttered softly, “of the four who attacked my Father, Yasin is not one of the two who suffered severe injuries and permanent disabilities.”

Deg.

Nia instantly closed her eyes when she heard Munding's words. How not? Of the four Chaos team members, 1 died, 2 were seriously injured, and 1 was unharmed. Supposedly the opportunity Nia had for Yasin's safety was 3 to 1. After hearing Munding's words just now, the chances were not to grow but to shrink.

There are only two options now, Yasin is dead or he is free.

Nia seemed to think a long time ago she let out a bitter smile on her lips, “if Mas Yasin was here, she would definitely just smile and say that this is all destiny from Him, man tries but God determines.”

Munding, Afza, and Arya fell silent listening to Nia's chatter they had just heard. They knew that Nia was thinking and deciding what she was going to do.

A few minutes after this room was gripped by silence, a long sigh was heard from Nia's mouth and she threw her back on the chair she had been wearing and sat down.

“All of you, this little team of yours, just one of the pawns of a giant chessboard that has been played for decades,” muttered Nia quietly, still keeping her eyes closed.

“I am not a member of Chaos because I am still a crewed wolf fighter. But, long before Mas Yasin decided to join Chaos, he had already told me many things and many secrets that led him to join the organization.”

“Munding, do you think, we used to have the choice to go and live alone together after that time incident?”

“It was just the naive thought of a man who had not seen the world at all.”

“There is no safe place in our country. Wherever the place. Especially for a wolf fighter like us.”

“Because from long ago, until this second, the fight never stopped. Only the echo was sometimes inaudible,” Nia's voice was slow and clearly heard echoing in this prisoner's room.

Munding glanced at Arya and gave a gesture to record Nia's confession they were doing this. Arya nodded her head as confirmation that everything was recorded from earlier with the camera.

“Chaos, Police, Your small team, Military, Militants, Government? Who're they? What's their relationship? Why is all this confusing and seemingly devoid of grooves and seemingly unrelated?” nia asked towards the three of them after opening her eyes earlier.

“Munding, Mas Yasin knew everything long before the incident when we fought first. At that time, he wanted to make his own ‘Chaos’. But everything works you fail. After that, he decided to join Chaos now because of his failure. Basically, they all have the same goal.”

Munding seemed to be thinking but still had not found the bright spot he was looking for.

“Munding, are you confused?” asked Nia while laughing.

“Alright, let me tell you all, that what you have been defending, is nothing more than a piece of trash that gnaws at its own people,” Nia snapped towards Afza and Arya.

Afza and Arya were a little shocked when they heard Nia's words. Just a moment ago, he was cursing at Munding, then suddenly the two of them were targeted, how could they not be confused.

“Before our country became independent, do you know what the purpose of the invaders came to this country. Gold, Glory, Gospel. Forget about Gold and Glory, but Gospel? They want to spread their faith in this country. Surely, the kingdoms and centers of the spread of Islam cannot allow that to happen. So from the beginning, even before there was the concept of independence and a country called Indonesia, the resistance was already there.”

“Intense resistance and with the impact of life. Even before the word Indonesia was known by this nation. From Pasai in Aceh, Mataram in Java, Ternate-Tidore in Maluku, all raised arms.”

“But the invaders searched for our weakness and they found it. Adu lamb.”

“Kyai pitted with Priyayi, Teuku pitted with Tengku, Religion pitted with Culture, Putihan pitted with Abangan.”

“According to you, was Java thick with its Kejawen? The Royal Family of Mataram Jogja adopted the Islamic Sharia and obligated the royal women to wear the hijab at the beginning of the Sultan's 1st and 2nd days. Until finally, they rose and fought a frontal resistance under the leadership of the Prince as well as santri militants, Prince Diponegoro.”

“Winners have the power to rewrite history."

"Since his capture the Prince in a cunning way. Islam is labeled a radical and a cause of violence. With the intervention of the invaders, they removed the influence of Islam from the palace."

"So, the concept of Islam being branded as radical is not new in this country. Invaders already used it decades ago.”

“When the struggle for independence, pesantren and religious bases lowered their forces and formed the Islamic Army. In addition to this army, there are also many troops from other elements, the largest of course the former Dutch military formation which was formerly called KNIL.”

“When we became independent in 1945, Indonesia was under Japanese rule. Of course the former KNIL soldiers no longer have power. They close ranks with Islamic Warriors and fight for independence.”

“Until finally, the country proclaimed its independence on August 17, 1945."
