Under the Hugs of the Colonial Army

Van Berg changed

The sun said hello in the morning, Sri Utami as usual returned to his habit of reading the newspaper in front of the house. While Si Ujang was busy cleaning the horses. Everyone who passed by in front of the house showed it. Sri Utami did not care about it, only remained focused on the newspaper she read. His smile was engraved when he read the latest information, the Parindra party had proposed a petition in Volkraad. Petition Sutardjo who wants the government itself for 10 years for Indonesia. Breath was relieved to be thrown away as he closed his newspaper.

" Ujang! find me a martial arts teacher and a horse for me to fight. But today take me to the market first." Sri Utami.

" Okay, Nyi. But Nyi is it okay to shop alone in the market? is it better to be accompanied by Nyai Dasimah?".

" No need Ujang, today I will just buy vegetables and clothes for Bi Iyem." Sri Utami.

" Oh, yes, no." Ujang.

" Alright, I first bring the wallet and shopping bag." continued Sri.

Sri Utami is not much out with a shopping bag and a delman ride. The horse was beaten by Ujang walking out of the yard towards the market. About 15 minutes delman stopped by the side of the road. The market rush is already felt. Sri Utami got off the delman and stepped foot into the market.

Sri Utami usually goes to the market with bi Iyem. But this time alone, Sri Utami began to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits. After walking to the clothes seller, Sri began to choose clothes for bi Iyem, he wanted to entertain him.

Sayup-sayup heard people who chat with Dutch, Sri Utami glanced at him. Sure enough, Madelief accompanied by Van Berg was choosing clothes, some if Madeleief asked Van Berg opinion about the clothes he chose. Sri Utami his gaze felt hot watching many times his loved ones with others. He immediately ended his shopping immediately paying for a suit kebaya and under him. Sri immediately walked quickly out of the market and boarded the delman. Along the way his tears flowed, Sri Utami continued to shrink him roughly.

For days Sri Utami did not leave the house after visiting Bi Iyem, he only spent time with his book all day, he diverted his wounds with biographical and political books. In the midst of her silence reading a book about feminism, Ujang went into the house.

" Nyi, I have found the martial arts teacher and his horse" said Ujang.

Sri Utami instantly closed the book, and smiled happily. He got up from his chair following Ujang who showed the horse he had just bought by bringing a martial master.

" Oh this is Nyi Sri Utami? it turns out that the original is more beautiful than the name." said a 33-year-old young man.

" Yes, thank you. Then let's sit down." take Sri Utami

" Oh, thank you Nyi" said the young man called the teacher.

They also sat in the front seat of the house, Nyi Sri Utami took a glass of coffee water to serve to his guests.

" So this is for what purpose did Nyi learn martial arts?" ask the martial arts teacher.

" I don't know the teacher's name yet, if I may know what?" ask Sri.

"Oh yeah I forgot, I'm Danureja. Just call me Kang Danu, not the teacher." Danureja replied.

" Oh, good kang Danu, I want to learn martial arts because too many women are harassed by the adam." Sri Utami replied firmly short and clear.

Hearing the explanation Danureja mangut-mangut. Since the meeting that day, Sri Utami spent her time practicing martial arts in the bamboo forest. Sri Utami began to practice the horses, kicking and fending. Sri Utami was taught to ride horses.

Sri Utami at that time learned to bring his horse to the highway, but found his horse was not tame controlled by Sri Utamis so that the horse ran fast under the control of Sri Utami, who was not yet tame, until finally in the opposite direction the horse carriage jolted and rolled over because of a dispute with the horse dunggani Sri Utami. The horse rope was pulled by Sri Utami so that the horse stopped. Sri immediately got off his horse to help people who fell from the train and were thrown into the mud of the rice field. When seen it turns out that Madeleief was affected by this fate.

Sri Utami did not indiscriminately go to Madelief and extend his hand, but it was replied with a nanar gaze, Madelief stood up from the mud and took a horse whip and then tucked into Sri Utami's back many times. Sri Utami just crowed, and trying to avoid, he stood up to grab the whip and would swing the whip towards Madelief, but the burly hand blocked him. Sri Utami looked at that figure of Van Berg, who was looking at him expressionlessly and coldly. Whipped from Sri Utami's hand, Madeleief hugged Van Berg.

" Van Berg, he's evil. He wanted to break me down, he also dropped me off the train. Look at my dirty clothes." Adu Madeleief while sobbing.

" Don't bother my future wife! Don't hurt him our relationship is over." Said Van Berg coldly while staring at Sri Utami.

" You are the bullies and the ones who hurt my people, don't pretend to be victims!" Sri Utami said with annoyance passed back on his horse calmly. Again Sri Utami could not control his emotions.

In this section, Sri began to move back to visit her organization. It has been a long time Sri not dabbling in the Conscious Wife feels, even though it is actually only two weeks. But Sri Utami expands trust in the magazine Sedar which must always update the news. Sri is now sitting in her typing room, typing a few paragraphs of the headline today. In his writings, Sri criticized the attitude of the adam who acted arbitrarily against women. He attached the sexual crimes that befell women among him.

Sedar magazine is spread in various circles, as a result of which the increasingly intense story of rape committed by the colonial is reported.

More and more people are empathizing with Sri Utami. Letters come every day to the table of Sri Utami. He only occasionally read it, then convey a thank you in his title. Reserved Sri Utami also get a flower delivery from the adam. Just like that day, a little boy brought flowers for her.

" Sweet boy, thank you. Who is this from?" ask Sri Utami.

" From the thin-bearded master!" said in the child while showing the young man who was leaning against one of the walls. The one who was appointed immediately smiled towards Sri Utami who was replied with a smile as well.

" Ok, I have candy for you" said Sri Utami.

Sri Utami took out the candy from her pocket, while crouching she opened her fist towards the boy. This boy has his eyes twinkling. Grabbing the candy, then running for joy. He smiled at the small child. But then his eyes stopped staring at a young man of Dutch blood coming to him.

" Sri." Sapa Van Berg's.

" What's up here?" ask Sri Utami.

" You never returned my letter. I decided to see you in person." said Van Berg.

" Why should I return your letter?" sri Utami.

Van Berg only gulped down to face Sri Utami, who looked unfriendly to him, there was no smile etched on his face, only disappointment and hatred.

" How are you Sri" said Van Berg with a tremble his lips held sad.

" Okay, as you can see!" sri Utami.

"Are you back home?" van Berg said.

" Of course!" answer Sri Utami.

Van Berg gave up talking to Sri Utami. He bowed his head, his heart was tight to see Sri Utami's change in attitude towards him.

" Sri, I'm sorry." said Van Berg slowly.

Sri Utami only fell silent holding back her tears that would soon slide. His face looked at Van Berg in front of him.
