MY POSSESSIVE CAPTAIN

GLIMMER OF HOPE

Rengganis's wiggly fingers pressed the number keys on the telephone plane whose model had been seen to the infinite of times. In this region only that plane could connect them with the outside world the fastest.

“Come, Om Danu, lift.” Rengganis bit his index finger. The girl hoped there would be a response from across the street soon.

“Good day, with whom is this?” A voice full of authority sounded from across.

“Siang, Um. This Rengganis.”

“Oh Rengganis, how are you, Nak?” Om Danu who is a member of the TNI-AD was seen so enthusiastic to hear who suddenly called him.

“Good, Om,” replied Rengganis.

“Papa, Mama how are you?” Om Danu who is Papa's thickest friend since Junior High seems to have been in contact with his Papa long enough, therefore he looks so excited to ask the condition of his best friend.

“All good, Om. Alhamdulillahot. Om and family are also good right?”

“Yes, son, all healthy, Alhamdulillah. How—gimana Rengganis? Can anyone help you?”

“Om, Rengganis want to ask.”

“Oh can, what is it?” Colonels. Danu, who has been familiar with his family since the little Rengganis, was ready to answer all the questions of the young doctor he had not seen for a long time.

“Om, are there any troops that will be dispatched to Lebanon in the near future, Om?” ask the Rengganis to the point.

There was actually a sense of awkwardness and embarrassment for Rengganis to ask this kind of personal matter to Om Danu. However, the Rengganis had no choice. Only in Om Danulah Rengganis can get the information it needs.

“There. This Saturday they will be heading to Lebanon via Soekarno Hatta Airport. What's up, Rengganis?” tanya Om Danu.

“Em .. no om, there are friends Rengganis there. Want to see you for a minute can not, Om?” the heart of Rengganis is pounding again. He will use all his abilities to be able to explain everything to Captain Blue.

“Sounds could. Later there are also many families of soldiers who will be left by the Task Force. Rengganis can join them.” replied Om Danu steady.

“Betul, Om? Thank you yes, Om.” The rengganist felt a little relieved and came back excited.

“Sama-sama. Who's the lucky guy Om's niece will meet? So curious.” Om Danu meredek Rengganis.

“Ah, Om could have. There's an acquaintance of the Rengganis, Om. Important!” Rengganis put up his alibi.

“Wah if it is not a matter of the heart must be a business problem,” guess Om Danu.

“Hahaha. R-A-H-A-S-I-A. How's it going, Om?” The rengganists switched the conversation.

“Tika also departs for Lebanon lo, Rengganis. Maybe the day after tomorrow we will meet there if Rengganis so come.” Om Danu remembered his daughter who is also a female commando who will tomorrow join the Garuda contingent abbreviated as KONGA or Indonesian National Army troops who are assigned as peacekeepers in other countries.

“Wah the macho was also leaving, Om.” Rengganis feels Tika his little best friend is able to become a spy for him when the Blue captain is there later.

“Ya, Tika is already first lieutenant now.” Om Danu laughed considering the actions of Rengganis and Tika when he was a child.

“Alright, Om, see you the day after tomorrow. Rengganis want to get ready to go back to the city first so it is near the day after tomorrow to Soettanya Airport.”

“Indeed Rengganis now where, Nak?”

“Rengganis can be task in remote area nih, Om again find experience.”

“Good, the spoiled child has now changed.” Om Danu remembers the little Rengganis who always cried when Tika took her beloved teddy bear.

Tika also insisted on having the same bear as Rengganis. The brown bear that finally ripped apart because it was contested by two small children who did not want to give up on each other.

“Gustika Amalia Danu!” Rengganis smiled at the thought of her little friend who had now managed to become the army female commando she had aspired to be.

“I have to hurry.” Rengganis came out of the phone booth and approached Pak Yayan.

“How much, Sir?” ask Rengganis.

“Not necessary, Miss Doctor.”

“Loh why not?” asked Rengganis confused, even though he knew the cost of his conversation on the phone must have taken a lot of money.

“I owe a debt of gratitude to the Doctor, yesterday when I was sick, the Doctor Mom willing to treat me at night until now I can still stand healthy here. That service won't be worth this money, Bu.”

“Waduh, no, Mr. Yayan. I'll feel guilty.”

“Eh No Doctor's Mom, go first into yok, Bu.” Mrs Westi, Pak Yayan's wife suddenly came out from inside the house.

“Oh thank you, Mom. Next time I will definitely stop by but this time I am really in a hurry.”

“This, Sir. I beg to be accepted yes,” Doctor Rengganis stuffed five pieces of money a hundred thousand into the hands of Mr. Yayan.

“Take it, Sir. I know you need money. Isn't Gendis going to college in town any minute.”

“Thank you, Ma.” Mr. Yayan looks so moved at the attention of Doctor Rengganis.

“Gendis had a story of wanting to enter the faculty of teacher, he wanted to serve in this village after finishing college. That is the noble ideal of Mr. Yayan. We must support,” said Rengganis.

“Iya, Doctor's Mom.” Mr. Yayan mangosteen.

“Shortly, Bu.” Miss Westi went inside the house.

Before long Bu Westi came out again carrying a large set of banana horns that had just been cut down from his backyard.

“Mu Doctor if this doesn't mind will it accept? This as our thank you.”

Rengganis smiled, his head nodding affirming the sincere request of Bu Westi and Pak Yayan.

“Let me take it to the car, Bu.” Mr. Yayan is ready to lift banana bunches that look quite heavy.

“That's what?” Rengganis pointed to a dark blue sweater hanging on Pak Yayan's living room rattan chair, a beautiful sweater inscribed with Captain Blue with grey thread.

“That sweater for Captain Blue, I knit myself. But baby not hunted. Captain Blue and his entourage had gone home before the sweater was finished.

“Wah nice.” Rengganis holding a handmade Bu Westi sweater.

“This is also as our thanks, Captain Blue has managed to quell the naughty horde who always ask for money thugs in our stalls every day, Mom. Our lives used to be very depressed, day and night haunted by misgivings. They like to take their trades. Not to mention if midnight drunk at the door we do not want to open, the morning must be our shop ruffled,” story Bu Westi.

“Why not report, Bu?” The rengganis looks sad.

“Ndak dare, Mom. Maybe his friend will come here tomorrow, kill us. We can what?” Mr. Yayan answered.

“Thank God everything is better now Yes Mom, Sir.” Rengganis stroked Bu Westi's shoulder.

“Very improved, Mom. Now no more rations thugs and others. So we can save up for the Gendis.” tuition Mr. Yayan smiled happily.

“Then from that, Mom. I've made a sweater for Captain Blue so as not to get cold to sleep in the forest. But he came home first.” Ms. Westi looked at the part of the collar that had not been perfectly knitted.

“Bu Doctor wants a sweater like this, I will make it. Color can Ma'am Doctor choose according to her favorite Mother. Want white, cream, pink or blue like hers Captain.” Ms. Westi was delighted to have a way to repay Rengganis' kindness.

“Eh .. if this sweater only how? Can?”

“But this has Captain Blue, Doc. There is a name, I will make a new one for Doctor.” Ms. Westi looked at her husband.

“It's okay. Write my name in this section only.” Rengganis pointed to the front of the shirt that is also not yet perfectly knitted.

“This name?” Bu Westi pointed to the writing that formed the name of Captain Blue.

“Let it there, Mom. At least if I see this I will remember how good he is, I also owe him.”

Pak Yayan and Bu Westi nodded, they began to understand the direction of Rengganis's mind. The married couple also know how the story of Captain Blue who desperately saved the life of Doctor Rengganis when held by Bono, the son of the Plenggo Scout who was very feared.

“Wait a minute, Doc.” Bu Westi hurriedly embroidered the part that Rengganis requested.

“What if I wait in puskes only, Mom? There are a lot of things I have to take care of right now.” Doctor Rengganis looked at the tiny black watch on his wrist. Tiffany & Co. is a brand of classy watches gifts from Mami on her birthday.

“Good, Madam Doctor. Later when it's finished let his father take him there.” Bu Westi pointed to her husband who immediately nodded in agreement.

“Alright then I go home first yes, Mom, Sir,” said Rengganis to Mr. Yayan and wife.

Rengganis out, his eyes saw a car that had been in the garage of the puskes parked not far from his car stopped.

“Fattan,” Rengganis squinted his eyes.

The heartache he did not know should be shed on who made Rengganis get into his car without caring about the whereabouts of Fattan. After helping Mr. Yayan put a bunch of bananas on his luxury car, Rengganis immediately went up and started the engine.

The girl doesn't care about Fattan. Her sweet smile could now expand a little, a trace of hope coming through her heart that was originally covered in dark fog.

“Thank you, Sir,” Rengganis waving to Mr. Yayan. The four-wheeled vehicle drove casually on the rocky road of Pringjaya village is not the same as when he came earlier.

Do you hate Rengganis for Fattan?

Was Fattan guilty?

We are waiting for the next episode!
