The Dusk of the Middle East

Episode 35's

"Ling-ling?" The woman called out to Anna's mother.

No one looked around, not least Anna's mother. Anna's mother's face pias, pale. She held her husband's arm tightly. Anna's mother seemed to have just heard a ghostly voice from her past.

"Ling-ling, right? Well, I can't possibly look at it wrong. Do you remember me? I'm Rose, we used to work in the same place."

Anna's mother did not answer at all

"How are you, Ling? We have not met for a long time. Probably about six-seven years ago. You were the most famous flower in Sotavento, you made it another girl. All the officials, rich merchants, and high-ranking Spanish officers know you, Eh and since when did you wear a veil? Closed-clothed clothes?"

Anna's mother is no longer strong. Breath snorted. He rushed to his feet, nudging the bowl of Ubi helaya until it spilled. And before the others understand what is going on. Still paying attention, while wondering in the heart who is this woman with thick makeup? The one who greeted Mother Anna by another name, Mother Anna had already run away from the dining table.

"Bou?" Her husband called, standing up.

Anna's mother wasn't listening. He ran out of the restaurant.

"Bou! Just a minute." Anna's mother's husband came running out of the store, following Anna's mother's quick run.

Coinciding with that, a noise sounded from outside the tavern. People ran away, screaming about the rebels. Chaotic consequences.

The group came out. Saleh followed Mother Anna's husband, was about to ask what was going on but Anna's mother was already on the horse carriage while covering her face, she ordered forcibly to return to the port immediately. Anna's mother's husband apologized, saying his wife wanted to go home soon. I had no choice but to jump on the train.

Sais the horse carriage stared puzzledly, wasn't there sixteen people, why two people came back earlier. Plus the noise about the rebels is getting worse. Saleh thought fast. So Saleh asked Mei, Robin and Robert also boarded the carriage. Tell them to go home first.

The horse carriage is stable. Robin actually wants to ask a lot of questions, but the first question, "Why did Anna's mother suddenly run away from the diner, sister?" While whispering softly.

Her sister Mei looked at her seriously, saying with firm intonation, "Sister doesn't know, and it's best for now that you don't ask much." replied in a soft voice as well.

Not Robin's name if directly according. He wanted to ask again, but the sound of gunfire made him freeze on the spot. Robin recalled the bombing incident at Labuan, staring around quickly. Messed up. People ran scattering from the Manila Phrase Direction. Robin's attention was quickly distracted.

While Saleh was still in front of the shop staring at the people who ran over in the clouds. Ten men in black clothes came out of the store. The woman with the thick makeup had gone somewhere, while five Japanese soldiers had already run towards the sound of gunfire. To Phrase Manila.

"How's boss?" Ask one of the men in black.

Saleh smiled sinisterly, "Go, make it as if it were the remnants of the rebels. But remember, don't kill the Sergeant. You just kidnap him, make it until he can't walk two days. That way he won't be able to board the ship, and we'll continue on without the Sergeant. He's a real hassle."

The ten men in black clothes nodded in unison, turning over, immediately running towards the night entertainment venue where Fahri and Rio were. The plan of the Black Lili gang from the beginning was to kidnap Sergeant Heiho. They can't kill the Sergeant because they don't want to take suspicion from Mei's mother's side.

Inside Gadang Pera. Government employees had from the beginning run out of the entertainment venue with the women, leaving the rebel natives next to the right, as well as eight Japanese soldiers and Sergeant Heiho, among others, Fahri and Rio in the left part of the room.

After one shot hit one of the rebel groups. The rebels shot back. One Japanese soldier was shot in the thigh, fell to his knees, hid under a table, withstanding pain. Soon, a Japanese soldier was also shot. This time, the bullet penetrated directly into the head of the soldier, killed instantly.

The Japanese soldiers ducked under the table, Sergeant Heiho ducked, swearing. Regretting coming out not carrying a rifle. While Fahri and Rio also ducked down, the two slowly approached Sergeant Heiho. Ask the sergeant if he's okay.

Two shots were heard again. This time, it was about two rebels. Although not to death, both of them were grimacing in pain.

The front door was forced open. Five Japanese soldiers entered in haste, observing the situation quickly, pointing guns at the rebels. Rebels cornered by numbers. The Japanese army felt it had taken control of the rebels, was about to approach, telling the remnants of the rebels who had not been hit by gunfire to drop their weapons.

Unfortunately, before the weapon fell. Ten men in black suits came in from the door with one that had slipped out of place. The man in black joined the right side of the building where the rebels were. Gunfights are starting to happen again.

Sergeant Heiho who felt no rebels were paying attention to him intended to run away secretly. From the direction where he stood not far from the door that was connected to the kitchen of the restaurant he had entered. He was about to sneak.

Dor.

One shot hit Sergeant Heiho's arm.

The attention of the soldiers was distracted. Seeing the full clothes Heiho who happened to wear army clothes complete with badge only they immediately knew if the one who was shot was a Sergeant, even though they did not know the Sergeant.

The rebels, who saw the attention of the soldiers distracted, immediately shot the Japanese soldiers blindly. One by one the Japanese began to fall until there was nothing left.

The men in black robes cursed in annoyance. It could be that the rebels shot Sergeant Heiho dead. And if that happens, their Boss Saleh's plan will fail.

Before the rebels came to their senses. Guns are already pinning their heads. The man in the suit quickly hit the rebels in the head until he collapsed. Walking towards Sergeant Heiho who was being helped by Rio stopped the blood that kept coming out of Heiho's arm.

The men again did the same, pointing guns at the heads of Fahri, Rio, and Heiho. One of them hit the back of Rio and Fahri's head until he collapsed. Remaining Heiho who was now staring at the men in black clothes was wary.
