The God of the Patriots

One piece of puzzle

The gods listen to Niko's story carefully. He tried to stifle his emotions upon hearing the scenario they had created to take down the members of Squad III. Several times the God took a deep breath, restraining his turbulent emotions, "I must remain calm. Don't let emotions take hold of me.. Huuffffh.. They really aren't human. It could be to reverse such a fact.. But I'm sure that besides guns, there must be narcotics in it. Weapons are their only guise to bring us down." muttered the God in heart.

After hearing Niko's story, there were a lot of questions running through her mind. The god starts asking Niko what she knows, "Sir, what makes you not believe that we are not smuggling weapons..?" ask the gods to investigate.

"Sandi, Serka Sandi Yoga, you know her..? Your squad III member who was shot dead, he's my cousin's brother. Before he left for duty, he called me. He said he would carry out an ambush mission smuggling heroin in the waters of Borneo." Niko said as she clenched her hand.

The god is shocked to hear that Sandi is Niko's cousin, "Innalillahi wa innailaihi roji'un. So Sandi's your cousin..? Sorry Nik, Sandi was shot while protecting us.. I tried to save him, but he forced me to leave him." said the god and then told the incident how Niko was shot.

"Well, I know it's not your fault or your team's. It's all been planned.I'm still looking for who's behind it all.." Niko tried to make her best friend feel no guilt.

"Is there any information you can give me about who the people involved in that scenario are..?" ask the gods

Niko did not directly answer God's question, but opened her laptop and showed God some files containing data of people allegedly involved in the operation at that time. In the file is written the complete profile of the people in question. Niko opens a file about someone and starts explaining it to the Gods, "He was one of the snipers assigned at the time. Looking from the position in this picture, the position is most likely to shoot Sandi, Maybe he is the same as us, just got an order without knowing the purpose of the order. But I'm sure he could be the first clue for you.." Niko fell silent for a moment, then continued his explanation, "As written here, he is named Santoso, the Second Lieutenant of the naval sniper squad. Two days after the incident, he was transferred to a koramil in AE county.."

The god hears Niko's explanation while studying the files on Niko's laptop, thinking, "Santoso, the naval sniper unit, he will be the first piece of this puzzle. But why was he transferred two days after the incident.. ? I have to find him there. At least he must know who gave the order to him." said the God in his heart. 

Niko continued with her explanation, "What is clear from the information I have, this case involves high-ranking army or naval officers, so this will not be easy for you." explained Niko.

"Is it possible that outside the military is also involved..?" ask the gods to investigate.

"Possible there is. But I haven't got any data on that. In the meantime, what I'm hearing is a business with hundreds of billions, maybe even hundreds of trillions.." Niko tried to explain her analysis.

"Hmmmmmm.. I've guessed this must have something to do with big city officials, it could also be related to big corporations. True said Niko, this will not be easy." muttered the God in heart. Then the Lord asked Niko, "Nik please help me gather information. I'm sure with your current position, it will be easier for you to gather information" said Dewa.

"Surely Wa, you just calm down. But you have to be careful, the people assigned to look for you are the best military personnel" Niko warned. He explains that he is a support team, which backs up data and information about the case that befell the Gods. 

"Wa, we can not always communicate with the application on our phone, you know for yourself the reason. We better communicate by email, give me your email, any information I'll send there.." said Niko.

The god gave his email address to Niko. The emails he made in the Red Bear country while he was on a joint mission with the country's special forces.

The god senses with his soul perception that Niko is serious about helping him, as Niko also wants to avenge the death of Sandi, her cousin's brother. Sandi was a soldier who with all his body and soul guarded his country, but he had to die in a terrible way. He and his teammates were framed and sacrificed for the benefit of a handful of people. He died under the title of a traitor.

No feeling adzan shubuh reverberating. The gods decided to end their meeting. Before returning home Niko copied all the data on her laptop to a flash and handed it to God, then she said goodbye to God, "Wa.. I'll take care of it first, right..? If there's anything urgent call me. It's better to call me, use someone else's number first. It will be safer for us." said Niko.

"Yes, just calm down. I will definitely reveal all this, of course I need your help too. Thank you Nik.." God replied while shaking Niko's hand.

Niko leaves the hotel where Dewa is staying. After the prayer, the god closed his eyes for a moment to rest his body and mind.

*****

That morning at Naia's house, after thanking the online motorcycle driver who delivered it, Nuraini immediately entered the yard and knocked on the door of Mr. Wira's house .

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.." Nuraini gave her greetings.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Santi as he opened the door.

Nuraini immediately greeted Santi's mother by kissing her hand, then handed over the package she was carrying, and received Santi's mother with her friendly smile, "Eh.. A beautiful aunt's son has arrived.. Oh what is this..?" ask Santi's mom.

"That's the care of Tan's mother. Eeee kikil spicy aunt's favorite said mother." replied Nuraini.

"Waduuha.. Widya's mom is really bothered.. Accept Nur, then let your mother's aunt call.. Come on in, Naia is still sleeping in the room, you wake her up." replied Santi.

Nuraini immediately entered Naia's room. Sure enough, Naia was still hiding under her blanket. Nuraini approached Naia who was still sleeping then woke her up, "Eh.. Brother Naia, let's get up, sister..? What time is it..?" nuraini said while shaking Naia's body.

"Eemmmm-fr.. What time is it..? Still sleepy." replied Naia in a hoarse voice.

Hearing the name of the God called, Naia immediately jumped up from her bed. He grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom in his room, "I take a shower first huh..? You just wait here, just for a moment really." said Naia and went straight to the bathroom.

Nuraini laughed amusedly at Naia's behavior. Looking at the disheveled mattress, Nuraini helped tidy up the mattress and folded the blanket that Naia wore, "Sir Naia-kak Naia. Wake up not neatin bed first just left, like a child Kindergarten.. Hihihihi.." murmured Nuraini with a smile.

After finishing the mattress, Nuraini sat on the chair in Naia's room. Ten minutes passed, Naia came out of the bathroom wearing only her underwear, "Eehhh.. Sis.. Put on napa's clothes first..? Just get out of the bathroom..?" nuraini.

"Chihui... I forgot to bring a change of clothes. It was in her closet." Naia replied as she stepped into the closet to pick up the clothes.

"Hadeeeh.. Cover the cake towel, but until it looks spilled so, Sister Naia is pornoaksi deh.." Nuraini patted her own jidat.

"Eh.. What the hell Nur, what spilled..? Loh mas God really has come, huh..? This is why my bed is neat .? Duuhhh thank you my sister-in-law." said Naia while wearing her clothes.

Nuraini gave her two thumbs up with a smile and answered Naia, "Who said who has come..? Nur just said that mas Dewa came how did..? While Naia's sister is still sleeping." replied Nuraini.

"Hadeeehh.. Kirain has come." said Naia then sat on a chair and tidied her long hair.

While combing her hair, Naia recounted a chat with her parents that afternoon. Nuraini listened to Naia's story carefully and then she asked, "Lha it's not good if om Wira agrees kak Naia is in a relationship with Kak Dede, is it not Dede's brother Dewa..?" ask Nuraini.

"Papa sama do you know that dede mas and mas Dewa are different people, so yes there will be different assumptions anyway..? Some of the insinuations may be Silvia, Dede mas and God mas may be the same body, but they are different individuals." Naia explained.

"Eemmmmmm.. Nur does not understand brother.. What does that mean..?" nuraini asked confusedly.

"So gini, if the matchmaking yesterday became void, then I established a relationship with mas Dede, and finally om Gunawan know that mas Dede is mas Dewa, the god, then Mr. Gunawan will think we've played them. But if the matchmaking is not void, yes nothing will happen, after all we are indeed betrothed from the beginning." Naia explained.

"But not later om Wira think that brother God lied to them..?" ask Nuraini.

"The Lord has his own reasons..? It concerns the safety of us all. Anyway, papa with mama already ngijinin I have a relationship with anyone right..? So no problem." continued Naia.

Nurini only heard Naia's answer, she thought, "Sir Naia thought that far.. Perhaps the mother really saw the figure of the Lord in Naia's sister.." he muttered inwardly with a smile and praised Naia, "It turns out Nur has a great sister-in-law.. It's not wrong to make a decision with your mother to match you." said Nuraini was greeted with laughter by Naia.

Meanwhile, at exactly ten o'clock Dewa arrived at the residence of Pak Wira to pick up Naia and Nuraini. His arrival was welcomed by Mr. Wira and Miss Santi. Indeed, in addition to being generous, he is both a friendly person again humble, "Yes why not just rest here..? Though there was a room that was not that idle in the back." asked Mr. Wira.

"Oh.. Last night at a friend's house, sir. Yes all the same kangen meet him, since graduating school has never met.." God's reason

"Lho used to be Dede school here too..? Where's..?" ask Santi's mom.

"That's ma'am, at SMA 5." she answered briefly.

They chatted quite casually in the living room. Not fifteen minutes passed, but Naia did not come out of her room until Santi called Naia, "Naia, Nur.. This is Dede's already coming. You want to stay in the room until when..?" santi's mom shouted to Naia.

"Yes ma... It's also going out." Naia replied by opening the room door and exiting towards the living room.

"Depart now mas..?" naia asked so she saw the Gods and only answered with a nod of the head by the Gods, then they said goodbye to Mr. Wira.

"Please take care of Naia." said Mr. Wira by patting the shoulder of God.

"Ready sir. I will do my best." replied the God full of confidence.

After saying goodbye to Pak Wira and Miss Santi, they also left. They set out to pick up Silvia before continuing on to Lerengwilis.
