Take Care of You and Our Children

Jaka was sitting on a sofa lined up neatly in the living room of his house. In his hand was a very classic framed old photograph on a clear glass grid.

Behind the glass is a picture of an old grandfather but looks very well-mannered drawn from his smile. Seemed Jaka repeatedly rubbed the old photo as if he was pouring glasses of longing that had not been revealed for a long time to overflow shed seeds of tears on his cheeks.

The flickering hand of the Princess' wife swiftly wiped the tears of Jaka who fell from her cheek.

At first glance the Princess looked at the look on the face of the husband who was above the peak of longing on the figure behind the worn photo. The princess looks foreign to the photo in a beautifully carved frame of teak wood.

“Photo who is Mas?, like someone in this photo is very familiar and very close to Mas. So just by looking at it makes the champion of the city of Jombang dripping with longing with water droplets falling from his eyes.,” said Putri took a frame containing a photo of the old grandfather from Jaka's hand.

“His name is Grandpa Buy Dalang Sakri Dik, he is an Arif and loving, he is a person who holds the Shari'a of God, he is the grandfather of his grandfather father, he is the father of Kasnam's grandfather father. He was the first teacher. Who taught the noble arts and local wisdom of the land of Java to Mas. Even from him I get a ghoib friend who is very special, namely Jatayu,” said Jaka explained.

“Oh so he who is often told Kak Vivi, deserves a handsome grandson like you dear. His great-grandfather is old but still looks handsome,” said Putri while stroking Jaka's cheek

This time Jaka did not respond as usual if in the Princess would immediately invite in the room. This time he only developed a small smile on his lips as the Princess started seducing him.

“Why Mas?, Princess really did not see the figure of the husband of the Princess as usual. The cheerful, cheerful and bright-faced. Why the Princess this time saw you as if you want to go to war and will return for a long time,” said Putri was afraid of Jaka if he would go to war again.

“Sayang this time I was hit by a very heavy longing for the figure who always took me and Vivi Brother when we were little first. A Grandpa Buyut who loved us very much and always said he did not say no when we asked to buy ice cream,” said Jaka who did not answer the Princess question instead explained about the memories yes with Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri.

The princess is getting scared and worried about Jaka's very strange attitude tonight and hasn't even said I love you Dik.

Like the previous nights that Jaka always said to take the Princess to sleep. This time the Princess was so anxious that Jaka did not usually behave like that.

“What is Mas?, It looks like Mas Jaka is hiding something from Little Sister,” said the Princess who was sitting next to Jaka while hugging Jaka's body from the side full of worry this time alternating from the eyes of the Princess who dripped clear water falling wet on the cheeks.

“Dik every night I was afraid to leave you when there was a call to war, but what power if not Mas who else is protecting this village. Every time I come out of the house leaving you and our future son my heart is broken, because there is no guarantee I'm safe. But I know God does not sleep He will keep every soul that fights to establish religion and faith in Him. So Dik my dear wife pray every night for your husband's safety,” said Jaka again shed tears this time fell on the Princess' forehead.

“Mas Jaka don't go...?!, I beg for tonight don't go huh. For tonight's premonition Sister is not bad I want to bobok in your arms Mas tonight,” said Putri still with a close hug on Jaka.

“Buka I do not want to sleep in your warm embrace Dik, not that I do not want to accompany you Princess but tonight as if came a figure of an opponent who is so tough that he has not appeared I can already feel it. Finally I met a balanced opponent,” said Jaka while standing slowly releasing the arms of the Princess but as if not wanted in stay Putri scatter his embrace back holding Jaka's body from his back.

“Don't Go my King, I'm so afraid of losing,” said the Princess kept sobbing in tears that kept shedding tears from her beautiful eyes.

Simultaneously with the embrace of the Princess from behind on Jaka's body. Slowly too the oversized jacket of T O H appeared per strand as if knitting itself covers Jaka's body. As a sign that Jaka is ready to go to war. The princess who saw the threads fused to form patterns that knit into Jackets on Jaka's body increasingly wrapped her arms tightly.

“Don't Go..!!,” said Princess.

“Assallamualaikum dear, take care of yourself and our baby for me. If until dawn I am not beside you then go to Kediri because at that time I may have been on the side of God, because tonight all possibilities can happen my bring then pray, pray,” said Jaka who suddenly disappeared from Princess Hugs.

“No...!, Jaka do not go, I beg you not to go tonight,” said the Princess who was sitting on the floor of the living room while continuing to sob cry for Jaka.

Duars...

Krataks... Krataks...

Like the sound of lightning striking a tree until it falls. Like the light of lightning shown intermittently after his strike. Such was the figure of the black nation this time coming so quickly so strong and so violent.

“I am Aji the angel of death Jaka. Hi Jaka come out you don't hide under your wife's armpits. Well, if you don't come out, I'll burn some people's houses with the fire I have. You can turn yourself into a model of fire I can see,” shouted Aji while turning himself full of fire even bigger than the fire caused by Jaka in fire mode anger and hotter.

Slaps...

Duars...

Bruck...

Burned down several houses due to the blows of fire that was thrown from the hands of Aji.

As if the fire is spirited and can flare itself continues to devour anything that exists including the occupants of the house who are asleep when his house is burned Aji so that the smell of burnt meat smells stinging.

“Hem like the smell of roasted chicken is delicious, hahaha.” said Aji laughed grinningly as his nose sniffed the smell of meat from the charred bodies of citizens burning.

“Then you come out of your hiding place do not be a coward you face me Aji the champion of the black faction,” shouted Aji continues to burn the house of the people and its contents.

“I'm here Aji stop your act let's start our game first which was delayed a few years ago, a few years ago,” said Jaka who has been standing at the top of the atab one of the houses right in front of Aji and has changed himself into a fire mode of anger.

“Oh you have come apparently you still remember Jaka some time ago if only the old grandfather Kasturi did not come to help you of course I have finished you at that time,” said Aji reminiscent of Jaka's defeat when playing against Aji some time ago and it was Jaka's first defeat.

“Prepare you black shaman,” shouted Jaka flew down towards Aji and Aji greeted him with a leap.

Duars....
