Grandfather Penghulu said slowly. The Bungsu looked at him.
“Yes. You have both vowed to be husband and wife. The holy pledge
and that alone is a bond. Although not yet confirmed by
kadi and no witnesses. But in the beginning, long ago the institution of marriage

The Bungsu still remained silent hearing this speech of Datuk Penghulu. Meanwhile, the,

It was the youngest who first held his head up. In the growls and the screams

the sharp, who are accustomed to smelling distress, who have been trained while alive
more than a year with the wild beasts of Mount Sago,
now smell the danger of the hidden.
“What's up?” Datuk Penghulu asked to see the tear of the young man's face.
The Bungsu did not answer immediately. He still remains sitting near Mei-mei's corpse.
But his eyes glittered strangely. His face is tense.
“We are trapped. . . .,” he said slowly.
Datuk Penghulu hold his head.
“Trap ?” his hissing while trying to catch the sounds interspersing the screams
the wind and the rumbling of the thunder outside the surau.

it awaits at the house of the Imam. As soon as the Imam appeared in his house, he became
astounded. In the front room of his house had gathered his two daughters and
his wife. They were escorted by six Japanese soldiers with bedil and
bayonet.
“Well, now tell me quickly who is in the manau priest sir.?”
The Japanese lieutenant immediately opened his voice as soon as he entered. The priest turned pale.
But his thick national sense refused to reveal the secret.
“Nobody. There is only a woman who will pray..”.
“Is there no one else?”
“Tak. Can see there.”
The priest said for sure. Because he knew, the attic of the manau from below
it looks like it's made of bamboo. The attic was two-layered.
The upper part is made of board. Garin and the other mosque guards slept
there. The way up is at the back, hidden from the
people's view.
The lieutenant did not repeat the question, but his hand went straight to work. An
slap landed on the Imam's cheek. So strong was the slap, that the Imam
it slammed and its mouth was bleeding. His wife and children were strangled and
started crying. The priest stared hatefully at Japan-Japan

“Hinland. You will not be safe in the hands of this country . .” his siss.

His wife hunted him and hugged him. When the girl approached too. That lieutenant

“Well, Priest, speak the truth. Otherwise, this child I'll take
room ..”
The lieutenant said grinning. The priest jumped up to hit the lieutenant
those. But a kick back kept him lined up.
“Hmm Good. If you don't want to open your voice, I'll enjoy your son.”
The Lieutenant then dragged the sixteen-year-old girl into the cubicle, Finally
