Samurai Mats - 109
The face of the Bungsu is radiant.
“Deca. Alhamdulillah..God is Great..” whispered slowly.
And Salma saw how in the corner of the young man's eyes the water seemed to well up.
Then he lay down again slowly.
“Finally we are independent too...” whispered. And his mind ran its might
then. His hometown. To hisfather. His father was organizing
an organization against occupation. And his father died in the hands of the invaders.
His mind drifted to his mother. To his brother. In the bloody event and
the burning of the village by the Japanese. And he came back unconscious.
It takes quite a long time for the Bungsu to heal perfectly
in that house. And in that long time, Salma always took care of him.
Kari Basa was the one who sent the young man to his house. To be treated
there. He felt sorry for the young man. Salma, the girl
coincidentally, he was a disciple of Putri Padang Panjang. He was flanked to go home
since Japan a year ago. It feels safer at home for girls
far from the parents.
And of course Salma can take good care of her father and the Bungsu. Because in
P3K lessons are taught intensively. When the Japanese came in,
Diniyah organized a P3K platoon at her school. Memabntu fighters
the wounded. Now the fingers of the broken Bungsu's hand have healed again.
Likewise, his whole body was shredded eaten by samurai. Curry Basa too
has healed. Although defeated by the Allies, Japan has not yet set foot
the land of Indonesia. And the youngest one night declared his intention to leave.
“Where are you going Bungsu? ask Kari Basa.
“Ke Japan...” the Bungsu said slowly. But his tone of voice is very certain. Curries
Basa and Salma heard the words.
“Ke Japan....?’ the voice of Kari Basa contains incertitude.
“Yes. I intend to go to Japan..”.
“So far. Why are you there?”
“Finding a soldier named Saburo Matsuyama.”
Kari Basa took a deep breath. He soon found out what the young man was for
go awayl. Demanding reply. That must be his intention. He had heard from Grandfather
Penghulu, that this young man is harboring the killer of his family. An
saburo Matsuyama's.
aim somewhere. But he also embroiders. Until one day his face
needle-pierced.
Your mind is not calm Salma. Better not to embroider” Kari Basa
warned son. And Salma's face immediately became red. And time
that's a guy coming in. Salma immediately moved to the back as soon as the man
go in. The man was a courier.
“Alhamdulillah, Mr. Kari is at home. I've been everywhere...” he said while.
kari Basa and the Bungsu.
“I am here always..” replied Kari Basa while watching the man. Him
I could read something important that the man brought. The Bungsu too
look at that thing. Maybe something secret. Hence, he also intended
to avoid, so that the two people are free to talk. Kari Basa
prevented it.
“Nothing you can't know Bungsu. Be sitting. Well, Husin tell me what
happened”
“Last night there was another clash between our fighters and the army
Japan in the Buluh River.”
“Then..?”
“We should have managed to get a dozen shoots. But the hunt is coming
akiyama Force. Our fighters they beat back. On our side two
injured persons. Not bad. But the cessation of hope to have that bedil
make the leader feel bad.”.
“Again Akiyama..” Kari Basa mutters.
“Yes. With that already four times he foiled our ambush..”.
“How about the official negotiations?”
“I don't know for sure. It's a top-level game..”
They both fell silent. The days after the Proclamation were
transitional moments throughout Indonesia.
Japan has bowed its knees to the Allies. Atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki
and Hirosima. Although Indonesia has proclaimed its independence, but not
it means everything is going well and easy.
Japan does not want to give up government to the nation
Indoneszian. They also do not want to just hand over their weapons to
indonesian Fighters.
