The Pain Of Regret

Chapter 49. Mind-blowing

Anka is the most unsafe city in the country. In addition to the high criminal numbers, there is an organization that is a rebel dedengkot. Obviously making the duty of the servants of the country becomes very heavy.

" Your mission this time is double. Not only will you help the citizens affected by the disaster, but you also need to be vigilant if there is an attack. And it's definitely gonna happen. Improve the safety quality. Vigilance. Because there is an armed group that until now still bitterly wants to separate from our country!" the commander said shortly before they left.

The four badas men looked very serious when they boarded the helicopter. Remembering with certainty the commanding order and message with all their body souls.

Upon their arrival at the site, those who had come first with three squad platoons, were suddenly stunned to see so many buildings that had originally soared, now flattened to the ground. The crying and wailing sounded heart-wrenching. Tear the rigidity of the men who stand stare.

Without waiting for the command, Dewa then ordered his troops to spread to several points for mapping actions.

" Rayyan, lead the medical team to strategic points!"

"Zilloey, coordinate the survivors and the wounds!"

"Yes! Your part is to accommodate a worse victim!"

They immediately split up. I was in screams and fear. Race in time. Help the ones who can still be helped, and put the bodies that have been killed to where they should be.

Diandra did not expect that his son would be this angry to him, because he had known the fact that Diandra had been forced to hide his identity as Joshua's birth mother.

The boy again locked the door to his room, because what he had heard was more than enough to be a proof of Diandra's lies.

" Jo, open the door Jo. You can explain!" weeping with tears flowing down the river.

" In, already. This has to happen. We live together what happened. Let Joshua calm down!"

Joshua even still remembers very well what his mother said at seven. Even though there was an earthquake that hit his territory, he was still in his room until the earthquake was not too big it subsided. It makes everyone panic.

But it seems Joshua's stubbornness is a trait passed down by his father, Rando. The man was very stubborn in various situations.

And when late at night arrived, Erika's mother could only meet her granddaughter when the boy was hungry and entered the kitchen with a sip.

" Want to eat?" asked Erika's mother who heard the sound of steps.

He had caught a flash of surprise from Joshua's face that did not expect if it would be caught. But a moment later, the boy nodded with a gloomy face.

" What do you want to eat?"

" There's still ramen?"

Mama Erika nodded. " Wait a minute. Mama make!"

Joshua nodded. Although awkward, but the torment of a hungry stomach uprooted his pomp. They both kept quiet. There was only the sound of boiling water, the sound of spices in scissors and the sound of noodles stirring after a few minutes.

" Is brother Diandra gone?"

Mama Erika did not answer. The woman immediately let out a long sigh while walking to serve warm ramen with delicious toppings at that hour last night.

" Mama doesn't know if you're gonna get back upset. Mama just wanted to say. You can call Sister Diandra Mama if you want. And you, can call me Oma. You already know what's going on. Even if you're still a child. But Oma believes you already know the truth!"

The situation is becoming more awkward. The real Diandra was there peering behind the wall accidentally nudging something and making Joshua turn his head. The child's face instantly became cloudy again.

The boy then snatched the noodles made by Erika's mother and returned to his room with the door slammed.

Make Diandra return tears.

" I've decided. You guys should move to the city too!"

So Mama Erika who heard Diandra's decision, immediately took a deep breath. Let time do the talking.

...----------------...

Early last day, aftershocks had occurred in a fairly long duration only with a strength that was not as great as last night. According to the data collected per morning, a massive earthquake whose tremors were felt all over Santara has killed hundreds of people. In addition, there are still many people who are missing and have not been found because the evacuation process has only lasted a few hours.

Hundreds of people who had been found injured also lost their homes. And the earthquake, at the same time spent one-eighth of the population in Anka.

" Search who? He wasn't on the team's list of medical volunteers who came today. I've checked it." said Yean when she saw the gods pursuing a list of names.

The god immediately folded the paper while smiling cynically to hear the prejudices thrown. How could Yean know if she was checking the list of names of the medical personnel who today would arrive in Anka.

" Where are you going?" sneer Yean again for the sake of seeing the God who suddenly moved.

" Searching Dorris!"

" The forensic team has arrived. Rest first. You haven't slept since last night!"

But the Gods paid no heed to Yean's worried-looking advice. The god instead walked towards the empty land where the wounded were being treated by local doctors and nurses with makeshift facilities. He feels very concerned. He then turned to emergency tents that had been accommodated by Zilloey with a team from the damkar and local rescue.

But when he was about to walk, one stranger seemed to mill around and make his attention diverted.

 " Doctor Anita?" he muttered as he saw the young woman running along with the members of the army who were carrying the little boy whose head looked bloody.

Makes him reflect on one figure who has the same profession. Damnit. Even in a crucial moment like this, he was still reminded of the figure of Diandra.

He then chose to jump directly into heavy equipment busy digging the ruins to find victims.

" Ray!" he shouted to Ray who monitored the search for victims directly.

"God, why are you here? Shouldn't you rest first. Think of yourself too!" lamented Rayyan who disagreed with the arrival of the Gods. Moreover, the man since last night did not stop looking for victims.

" I'll be memb..."

"Rest. It's orders! I've been coordinating with civil records regarding population data. Iwan is also doing data reconciliation. After this will be known, how many injuries, who died, and who were lost. Don't be so stubborn!"

The god breathed. He does not want to rest. But when he was about to close his eyes, the shadow of Diandra's face even more disturbing and attacking the mind.

" Go. Close your eyes for a moment. Our job will be heavy. Please!" rayyan said this time with a sad face. Affirming if the joke guy is very serious.

Alright. It seems like everyone is worried about him. He doesn't want to open up to others to worry.

But just about to move, he who looks like he sees a stranger figure walking forward there looks reflexively chasing. But when he had pulled the shoulder of the woman in white, he was immediately surprised because the person he thought was the doctor Diandra, turned out to be another doctor.

" What's up?" ask the woman with a full face.

The god immediately swallowed. What the hell is he doing? Why could he be so stupid as to run and chase after someone he thought was Diandra. " Sorry. I thought, my partner!" ashamed.

The woman had looked at the annoyed indistinct man who had interrupted her work, before finally leaving with a grumble.

A God who felt tired could only exhale violently. Perhaps he should follow sara Yean and Rayyan to rest first. His brain and heart were completely out of sync. Even when angry and careless, why did the shadow of Diandra's face reluctantly escape from his mind?
