The God of the Patriots
A glimmer of hope (Bag. 1)



The truck driven by Jaka turned right and was not seen again, God then entered the gym and found several people including Loreng sleeping on the mattress. They immediately sat down when they saw the God entering the gym. "Eh.. The boss is coming.." chirps one of Roni's men.


Loreng stood up and approached the God, "Newly came boss..?" asked Loreng while greeting the Gods.


"Udah from this afternoon, just met an old friend, we continued to coffee in the stall." replied the God. Then the Lord whispered to Loreng, "Oiya Reng, please ask your men to pack fried rice but the one near the entrance of the market, 4 packs and keep sending it between here. Later until here I change the money.." whispered God, then Loreng immediately called his men and told to wrap fried rice orders of God.


At the same time, Roni came out from inside the warehouse, walking towards the Gods. "Where's boss..? Want to talk inside or..?" ask Roni.


"No need. Let's just talk here, on this mattress.. It seems comfortable to also sit here." said Dewa while sitting on the mat.


Roni, Loreng were sitting to the right and left of the Gods, while the others were sitting facing towards the three of them. The god began to speak, "Udah just relax, do not be too formal, we are not in a meeting.. Eemm, so from now on I will change the name of this gym to Sasana Lerengwilis. I want you to keep practicing to the maximum, make the best use of all the equipment that is here and become a professional fighter." said Dewa gave motivation to them. Then the Lord continued his words, "To celebrate, Monday afternoon we hold a salvation here, so that we are all always in the protection of God. Eeeee, Ron, please order rice tumpeng for Monday, you just count how many tumpeng it takes for us to eat together. On Monday we held a rice tumpeng salute here." he said accompanied by applause and cheers Roni's men.


"Mantaabba.. Thank God after so long this time we save.."


"Eat besaaarr..


"Bosssssss... Asiiiii.. Look.." greet them.


The atmosphere inside the gym became crowded. They look enthusiastic and are very happy with the plan of the Lord to hold a salvation. A few moments later, Roni raised his hand, and all his men were immediately silent, "You remember, boss Dede has spent a lot of money for this gym. Without Dede's boss, maybe forever we'll practice with those broken tools. All this boss does so that we can train to the maximum." said Roni seriously. He looked at all his men before continuing his words, "Thank you you guys won't be able to repay what the boss has done. So only by being a reliable and professional fighter, we can pay for what the boss has done for this gym.. From now on, if anyone is not excited in training, I will directly kick him out.  You siaaappp become professional fighters..?" Roni stared intently at his men.


"Siaaaappp..!! We will be serious in training and will be professional fighters." they said in unison.


The god smiled at Roni's compact reply, then Roni continued saying, "One more thing, hold fast to the rules that the boss has made. This gym is a place where you become fighters, no more thugs, alcohol, and drugs. I don't hesitate to punish anyone who breaks that rule.."


"Okay boss, we will obey all the rules in this gym." they replied compactly.


The god patted Roni on the shoulder and said to Roni, "Ron, if you need additional instructors, invite your friends to help you train here." he said, not only to Roni, the God gave instructions to Loreng, "Loreng, you arranged for your men, especially the young ones, to join the training as well.."


"Every boss.. I was planning to attract two of my friends to join us. They are former professional fighters, they happen to be in need of a job as well." replied Roni who was later mourned with Loreng, "Beres boss. Some of them have been practicing here as well. Tomorrow the plan is to gather them and select potential people to practice with.." replied Loreng.


The gods smiled satisfied with their answer. After waiting for a while, finally the God-ordered fried rice came, "How much is this the hanis..?" dewa.


"Fourty thousand bosses." he answered. The god gave him a hundred thousand note, "Udah bring him his change. Thank you for bothering to deliver my order." said Dewa.


"Well.. really boss..? Thank God, thank you boss." he said then he left. Shortly thereafter, the god also left the gym to his house.

At home, Silvia looked lethargic and uninspired. Nuraini is seen working on something with her laptop, while Naia is sitting next to Silvia who is curled up on the chair against Naia.


"What the hell is Vi.. Not that spirit this morning..? So quiet if you're like gini." asked Naia.


Silvia turned to Naia, holding back the pain she told her friend, "Today, every three months I mens always hurt in my lower abdomen. I've never felt like this before.." Silvia exhaled her breath to endure the pain before continuing her words, "Hhuuuuffhh.. I had searched the internet, many articles wrote that this is one of the symptoms of cervical cancer.. I'm afraid of Nai.. What if I have cervical cancer..?" silvia was sad.


"Huussh.. Don't say that ah.. Have you checked with the doctor..?" sahut Naia's.


"not yet.. I'm afraid to check.. In the last few months I drank paracetamol 2 grains has relieved the pain.. But do not know why mens this time, from the morning I've drank paracetamol 6 grains, but not less pain." said Silvia began to cry.


"Ih... Crazy you are..? Can overdose then.." said Naia seriously, then he hugged Silvia, "Udah calm, tomorrow until the city L I accompany you check. Don't you have to be afraid, huh..?" Naia.


Nuraini stopped her work, she calmed Silvia down, "Just think positive Vi.. It could be your pain because you are stressed.. Nur also never like it when High School, continue to be the same mother Nur madein jamu. After routine drinking also thank God never relapse again.. Eemmm, tomorrow I ask you to make some herbal medicine for you." said Nuraini.


"It's safe for Nur to drink herbal medicine..?" sahut Naia's.


"Inshaa' Allah is safe. The proof is good Nur until now." replied Nuraini.


"Thank you, you guys are very considerate of me." continued Silvia.


Arriving at home, after parking the car in the yard, the God immediately entered the house, "Assalamu'alaikum.. Uh.. Have you seen the ghosts..? How about that hug..?"


Wa'alaikumsalam." they answered.


"No brother.. It was Silvia who was sick to him." Nuraini said


"Loh Silvia is sick..? What pain..?" ask God.


"These three months, every day Silvia had pain in her lower abdomen. She was afraid that there was nothing with her." replied Naia.


"Oh.. Nur please you warm the water and then enter the bottle huh..?" dewa.


"What's brother doing..?" ask Nuraini


"So, don't ask too many questions first." replied the God


Nuraini also went to the kitchen and Dewa held a carpet on the living room floor. The god sits on the carpet, "Silvia, here you lie here, legs tight.. Naia, please help Silvia..?" speak the gods gently.


The god sat under the sole of Silvia's feet facing her, and Silvia lay down and tried to straighten her legs, "S-sssshhhh.. Sakiuitt.." - Quizzed Silvia.


"Hold on, you'll get used to it" replied the God


"Eh mas can curein Silvia..?" ask Naia.


"Not cured, just help launch blood circulation alone. Silvia was just that stressed, so her monthly cycle was blocked, it became sick." replied the God.


Nuraini brought a bottle of warm water and a small towel and handed it to the god, "This is the water brother, if it is still too hot, just wrap the same towel." he said.


"Now Silvia opened her stomach, this warm water is attached to the part that you feel pain." said Dewa.


Silvia pulled her clothes up, her pure white skin was seen by the Gods. Knowing this, "Eh.. The God of.. Can't see." he said, closing the eyes of God.


"If you see God, I'm not pa pa Nai, I'm sincere.. Hihihi.." - Silvia's god.


"Ih.  You yes, sick gini still can-can-do you sedain mas Dewaku.." Naia told Silvia.


"Can't see.. Can't do.. ." Naia still closed her eyes. The god also tried to release Naia's hand, "If closed how can find the nerve point dear." said Dewa.


Naia removed her hand from the eyes of the God, next the God held the soles of Silvia's feet and began massaging her nerve points. Silvia looked grimacing withstanding the pain, but after a while there did not appear a sore expression on Silvia's face.


"Where's Vi..? Did you make it..?" ask the gods


"Eh.. Yes mas. Alhamdulillah has less pain, it is not sick even." he replied with a smile.


"Now you sit down.. The bottle is fresh until the water is cold.. What do you think about until that stress..?" ask God.


"There is a mas, just still lazy to make a story.. Let my mind settle down, so I can feel good about the story." replied Silvia.


"Judek.. Eat yuk..? I brought you fried rice." God said.


They enjoyed the fried rice which was already a bit cold. Silvia was seen eating voraciously, perhaps her energy was depleted due to enduring the pain.


The god saw his sister eating while doing something in front of his laptop, "You're doing what Nur..?" ask God.


"Oh.. This project makes public toilets in the hamlet of Janti kak. Let it be used by the people around there." replied Nuraini.


God saw the design that Nuriani made on his laptop, "It turns out you can make a picture like this..? Then you make toilets and ablutions in musholla...Where do the construction costs come from..?"


"Fees right from the village fund, if less can be added from the community.. Beres sis, tomorrow after returning from the city of L, Nur make a sis. All the cost calculations." answered Nuraini.


"Eeee, what time do you leave tomorrow..?" ask Naia.


"What time is it..? Eeeem.. It's up to you to leave at what time." said Dewa.


"What if morning brother, after the morning prayer shabuh." replied Nuraini


"No problem.. Let's relax later on the road." replied Silvia.


Time continued to run, the night came to blanket the Slopes. The wall clock pointed to the number 9, Naia, Silvia and Nuraini slept in the room, while the Gods chose to sleep in the living room. The night was getting late, after making a cup of coffee, God rolled out a carpet on the porch of his house. The fence is covered with fiber glass makes people outside the fence can not see inside.


God enjoys his favorite unsweetened coffee and djisamsu cigarettes. The atmosphere of peace, calm, silence he felt in the environment where he lived now. The god enjoyed every second of his existence, the cold air that greeted his skin, making the Deity feel at one with the universe. In her solitude she thought of many things, "Tomorrow morning I'd better call Niko.. Huhh.. How are the other members of Squad III..?" he murmured in the heart. The god tried to control his mind, he again remembered the teachings of Mbah Sastro who had been given to him. Inwardly, God thanked Mbah Sastro who had taught him the spiritual path so that he could reconcile with himself and take off the burden of his mind.


The god dissolved in his silence, suddenly Naia greeted him, "Come God is outside..? Come in, it's cold outside. Ntar in the wind you know..?"
