Samurai Mats - 82
“Japan fuck. Killed y'all. By God, I will
kill you as many as I can do”
He said he grabbed his samurai on the floor. Then
hurry down. But Datuk Penghulu prevented it.
“Do not show yourself at this time Buyung. On the streets roaming hundreds of soldiers
Japan.”
“Personation .I will kill them..”.
He turned around to get down. But at that time also the hand of Datuk Penghulu hit
nape. The young man drooped, he tried to turn his face to look at Datuk
Penghulu, his eyes glows pain and wonder, why Datuk
until you do that. Then he fell unconscious. The priest was there
also staring in surprise mixed with surprise at the attitude of Datuk Penghulu.
“Why Datuk hit him?”
Datuk Penghulu took a deep breath before replying.
“It's been too much I lost Mr. Imam. Last night my son and wife.
This girl is soon. The girl I thought of as my son
by oneself. Now, if I let him go berserk out there, maybe he'll
could kill ten or twenty Japanese with his skill
samurais. But after that, however much the bullets were far superior and more
the samurai in his hands. How great though, I don't want to
losing himself. He has done a lot for his people. Have been many
killing the Japanese who robbed and raped the people. Even though he didn't realize
his service was because he did it only to defend himself and avenge
family revenge. But Indonesia owes him a lot. I don't want him
dying too soon. There are still more great things he can do than
must die quickly he's the protector of the weak.”.
At that time Datuk Penghulu ascended again he along with a priest who
he met Surau when he was going to pray Ashar. They are approaching the second
that young man. Mei-mei's eyes closed.
“Mei-may. …. .hear. This is Imam. We're getting married here. .”
The Bungsu said slowly to the girl's ears. Mei-mei smiled before
eyes open. Smile a tired smile. His smile was a very tired smile and
lose out. In his eyes were inundated water beads that slowly melted down.
“True . . . Really Uda want to take me as a wife? Hearty
marrying a Chinese child who has been covered in this sin all his life? Really uda. . .
“For the sake of Allah whom I worship, I love you dear. . .”
“Uda .. I am happy. . .you became my husband. I devoted myself
be your wife. .”
The girl's eyes closed. The Bungsu turned to the Imam and Datuk Penghulu,
then nod. The priest shook his seat.
“Jawab my question this young man. Are you willing to accept Mei-mei
be your wife, keep her and defend her in pain and pleasure. Will
happy for him and will not do him any harm. . .?”
“I received it with all my heart.” Answer the Bungsu.
The priest looked at Mei-mei. Then said :
“Are you willing to accept this young man to be your husband and promise
devote yourself to him, in pain and pleasure and will steadfastly accept
every ordeal?” The girl did not answer. His eyes are still closed. Bungsu
close his face to the girl's face.
“Jawablah darling.” Mei-mei did not answer.
“Answer by nodding if you agree, or shaking if you
disagree.”
The priest said slowly. Mei-mei did not answer. Unshaken. Nor
nods. Datuk Penghulu beats his heart. He extended a hand. Palpating
neck Mei-mei. Groped his hand.
“Innalillahi wa Inalillahi rojiun”, hissing slowly.
The Bungsu was stunned. Fixated. Then his voice was like whispering
name Mei-mei.
“Mei-may….. May-may..”.
But the girl had indeed gone back to Khalikan. A smile still
looming on his lips. Datuk Penghulu wipes away the tears that pooled in
his eye-pleasers. After all, he loved this girl very much. That girl
he was considered his biological son. The playful and loving darling
with his son Upik.
Last night Upik died. She hopes Mei-mei is where she pours out
saying, his son's replacement. There's a little treasure, and it'll all be him
leave it to Mei-mei. He will raise this girl as his son. But
now, God decides something else from the plan he makes. Tears
it flows down his old cheek. The Bungsu is still pensive. Looking at the girl's face
that's. As if still ringing in his ear the last Mei-mei speech.
