Under the Hugs of the Colonial Army

Hire in the Army Barracks

Sri Utami awoke when she heard the bells of the army, in her room which she was now empty, there was no Van Berg there. Sri Utami stepped out of the room. He saw in the hallmark of the vast building that the soldiers had lined up neatly, and Van Berg was seen focusing on commanding the troops for physical training.

The bare-chested soldiers were seen running together forming three rows, the sound of leg-banging rhymed, while singing the Dutch national anthem:

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe ben ik van Duitsen

Den vaderland getrouwe blijf ik tot in den dood

Een Prinse van Oranje ben ik vrij onvervaard

Den Koning van Hispanje heb ik altijd

Mijn schild ende betrouwen zijt gij o God mijn Heer

Op u zo wil ik bouwen verlaat mij nimmer

Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven uw dienaar to’aller stond

Tyrannie verdrijven die mijn hart doorwondt

Sri Utami only noticed the morning activities of the soldiers the first time he saw. He just found out that Van Berg was a captain, making Sri utami even more amazed. The young man in his uniform and leadership style made him even more valiant. Sri Utami's eyes were never distracted by Van Berg's movements. All the soldiers after the warm-up in the exclamation to pick up weapons and use complete equipment. Then all lined up back for practice aiming. Van Berg called out half-cries to his troops.

The voorkant van wapens! (Front Gun!)

Schouderwapen linker! (Left shoulder of weapons!)

Schouderwapen rechter! (Right shoulder Weapon!)

Jouw wapen's! (Sincere Arms!)

Rechtop vapors! (Unarmed!)

Front Line Maak and klaar! (Front Line Prepare!)

Schiets! Schiets! Schiets! (GUNSHOT! SHOOT IT! THE TEMBAK!) Van Berg while walking past the line of shooters. The sound of gunfire was heard.

DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR'S!

All of the bullets hit his strung shot in an irregular plea with a distance of 10 meters. The shooter immediately ran backwards alternately with his friend. When all Hidmat was practicing suddenly there was a huge explosive sound.

BOOOM UP! BLUDKAH! BLUDKAH! DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR'S!

The red whiz quickly devoured the Dutch army barracks, wood and building materials bounced everywhere. The soldiers immediately fell down, while Van Berg frantically ran towards the building that half had been burned, he remembered Sri Utami was still inside the Barracks.

" Sriiiiii...Sriiiiii" shouted Van Berg.

The sound from the right direction of the building was heard by troops who moved quite a lot towards the barracks attacking the soldiers who were still in shock due to the explosion.

" INVAUUU! RAMPAGE!" screeched the leader of an army that was none other than Prince Arya.

Van Berg saw that he immediately ran into the unexploded arsenal, he broke down the door and took the long-barreled bullet in the sling on his back. He ran to face the troops who did not mercilessly beat his subordinates with pointed bamboo and machetes, until here lay the soldiers with slit necks, stomach pierced bamboo so spit out the entrails, the heads of the many soldiers who floated there yesterday accompanied by blood sprinkled.

Van Berg began to rise his emotions, he shot at everyone who approached him so that the victim lay, but it was increasingly inviting focus when directing his attack to Van Berg. A knife floated towards him and hit his left arm, then a sequence of spears and arrows followed after showering him, but Van Berg was a fairly experienced soldier on the battlefield, he had been deployed in world war 1 while in military school, so he quickly rose to the position of captain.

Van Berg faced every weapon directed at him, he rolled, tumbled, then crawled while shooting his long-barreled weapon.

DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR'S!

SRET SRET SREEET

The pointed bamboo injured the neck and abdomen of the man dressed in half-knee pants and the head wearing an iket. He was dying, lying on the ground.

GEDEBUGS ...THUD.. The horse runs from behind...Good luck! BRUK!

The horse's leg hit Van Berg's back so he spewed out his blood and fell. The horseman descended, and observed Van Berg's already pale face.

"HEW! it's not enough to steal my country's treasure!! so you stole my future wife too!" prince Arya snapped at Van Berg's face, then spat at him.

" GET SRI ALIVE OR DEAD!" Shouted Prince Arya to his followers.

Some of the followers abandoned their opponents, followed the call of prince Arya and began to search for Sri Utami among the people lying around. Van Berg, who was still awake, tried to get up and pull the two legs of the prince Arya who was behind him, so Prince Arya fell on his face to hit the ground hard,

BRUK! "Cumcreate!" prince Arya's roar in pain, blood pouring from his nose. Haven't been able to get up. His head was hit by a long-barreled weapon, so that he was unconscious at once.

Van Berg was as strong as he could stand, with his chest feeling tight and his back crumbling. His eyes were still going around looking for a woman he loved while crowding in pain. From a distance, a white woman was faintly seen lying unconscious. Van Berg immediately walked in half-running hunting Sri Utami. He immediately grabbed it, he checked the pulse in his hand, and it was still beating weakly. Van Berg immediately grabbed him, his tears flowing between sad and happy enveloping him. The girl who was held closed her eyes because she was hit by tears from Van Berg.

"Sir.." Sri's voice was very weak, but was quite heard by Van Berg.

Van Berg loosened his arms, looking at his lover's face. As Sri Utami saw the man crying before her for the first time, Sri Utami smiled, and her hand grabbed Van Berg's cheek that was flooded with tears. The tears of the young man. But the young man was still crying.

Hiks Hiks Hiks

Sri Utami saw that he could not bear, he stroked Van Berg's cheek, while shaking his head, asking Van Berg with his body language to stop crying. In the middle of the situation, suddenly Sri Utami eyes wide open to see someone behind Van Berg will hit a big stone, Sri Utami as hard as possible to pull Van Berg away from the impact. But then there was also a gunshot.

DOR'S! BRUK!

The man fell drooping on the ground, a hot bullet lodged in his back. The rock in his arms fell. The rumbling sound of horse legs approaching the barracks. And the sound of gunfire gripped the souls of Prince Arya's followers.

DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR'S!

The atmosphere became quiet, Sri Utami was still conscious but still very weak, while Van Berg who held him was unconscious lying beside Sri Utami. Slowly Sri took the young man's hand very tightly channeling warmth, because the young man's hand began to cool. Sri's tears slowly trickled down looking at the young man beside her ashen.

Hiks Hiks Hiks

My lord please wake up do not leave me. Please be strong sir... Signore... Wake up, inner Sri Utami.

Sri Utami who withstood the wounds of the heart because he saw the beloved lying helpless, the pain up to the heart and stifling until finally he closed his eyelids, he said, but his ears still heard the voice of people speaking in Dutch.

" THE INLANDERS! B*J*NG*N! How dare they destroy our army! Bring the bodies of B*d*b*h to the square! hang them! make it a spectacle of all the people!" Shouted the Dutch Commander General his heart was filled with emotion.

" Commander, Captain Van Berg we found!" shouted a Dutch soldier.

The Dutch commander-in-chief, who had arrived with his daughter, Madelief, immediately approached the soldiers who had found Van Berg. Madelief saw the sight of Van Berg beside an Indonesian woman and looked at each other's hands, immediately his heart was burning with jealousy.

" Hurry and bring Mr Van Berg!" Madeleief.

Van Berg's body was lifted, his hands were released from Sri Utami, he was carried into the carriage. While Sri Utami lay there no one cares about it. The Commander General then observed Sri Utami, then stroked her chin.

" Madelyef, maybe you need a friend. Lift this woman up!" ask the Commander General.

Madeleief who watched his father who brought the local woman with him immediately felt annoyed. But he could not oppose his father, he resigned.

SERIATE.....
