Under the Hugs of the Colonial Army
First Night and Earthenation Night
March 24, 1946 at exactly 21:00 the army leaders and Laskar agreed to burn down the city of Bandung.
BOOM UP!
Smoke billows in People's Bank. Soldiers and irregulars who blew up the building immediately ran towards Banceuy. The stolen grenades were thrown back into the building.
Booms!
Booms!
Booms!
The sound of explosions from several buildings sounded earthy and suffocating. From Cicadas, Braga and Tegallega, the red whiz devoured and emitted a reddish color in the sky of Bandung that night.
About 200 residents of the city of Bandung were displaced, not least Nyai Dasimah and Soendari. They're being raised in an army truck. Nyai Dasimah thought not calm because he did not see Sri Utami in the refugee group.
Rahman was in charge of helping residents get into the trucks. Nyai Dasimah ran over to Rahman.
"Son Rahman," call Nyai Dasimah.
"Yes ma'am," replied Rahman down from the truck and approached Nyai Dasimah.
"Sri, son of Rahman," said Nyai Dasimah.
"Why Sri, ma'am? " Rahman seemed riled to hear his future wife.
"Sri, still at home, said she would follow but until now she is not here" Nyai Dasimah said with tears.
Rahman gasped at Nyai Dasimah's words. For a moment he nodded.
"Mother take it easy, I will pick her up, maybe Sri is stuck in the street," Rahman exclaimed politely calming Nyai Dasimah.
"Thank you, Rahman boy. I'm sorry to trouble you," Nyai Dasimah said tearfully.
"Mom don't have to apologize, it's my responsibility to look after my future wife, ma'am." Said Rahman while throwing a smile at Nyai Dasimah who was greeted by a nod.
"Yes ma'am, I went to pick up Sri first" Rahman said goodbye.

Now that Sri Utami was in her room, her heart was agitated with a gripping atmosphere. While Van Berg with his subordinates was discussing in the middle room.
"What should I do?" muttered Sri Utami while pacing back and forth in front of her mattress.
His eyes fell on the suitcase, Sri Utami directly put her unfinished belongings neatened into the suitcase. A photo fell, Sri Utami took it staring at a photo of herself with Ryosuke Yamada.
"Ryosuke now I'm in a state of life and death, I don't know if I'll catch up with you" Sri Utami said speaking to the photo.
Chequelek
The sound of the door being opened, made Sri Utami surprised to see Van Berg walking towards her. Sri Utami was restless and hid the photo by pulling her hand back.
Van Berg still looks handsome with a clean white face, his body looks more stocky because he diligently worked romusa during the Japanese occupation. Van Berg walked over to Sri Utami who was already lowered. Van Berg raised Sri Utami's chin with one hand.
Sri Utami was forced to look at the face of Van Berg who was staring at him intensely. His eyes were radiating anger, making him feel fear.
"You are now my mistress!" van Berg said coldly to make Sri Utami's heart feel pierced by a dagger.
"I don't like being a mistress, don't you know that!" said Sri Utami ventured to reply to the words of Van Berg who had raised one eyebrow.
Van Berg smiled faintly, giving an oppressive look. Without warning Van Berg kissed Sri Utami's lips brutally. Both of his hands hugged Sri Utami's waist. Van Berg grabbed Sri Utami's hand to hug him, but found Sri Utami's hand holding something, immediately pulled the paper.
Van Berg stopped his action and stared at the photo, Sri Utami had his heart racing not knowing what would happen after that. Van Berg looks increasingly up.
"Ryosuke Commander? Is this as close as your relationship with her?" van Berg said with a cold gaze towards Sri Utami.
Sri Utami could only swallow his saliva roughly.
"I'm not like that Van Berg" Sri Utami argued.
"Not like that? you think I believe Sri!" bentak Van Berg makes Sri Utami silent.
"I know Sri, you play with her, I know you make out in the field making out to each other, I know you come to her house often and come home early in the morning! That is now you Sri! I thought you were a different woman!" van Berg continued on a high note.
"You really are bit*h! bit*h! bit*h! " it looks like Van Berg's face is grim and sitting next to the bed.
His face was bent down, a deep look of sadness emanated. While Sri Utami had squeezed the edge of his danger withholding every word Van Berg.
"You completely forgot me Sri, you didn't return my letter, you didn't look for me, you don't know how much I'm tormented every day for missing you," van Berg said as he sat down to hide his tears that had dripped.
Sri Utami inching closer to Van Berg, her hands slapped gently on the fragile-looking man's back.
"Don't look at me as bad as Van, "Sri Utami said, making Van Berg choked up and look at Sri Utami.
Sri Utami had a soft face, Van Berg still admired the woman before him.
"Van Berg, actually I've been betrothed to others, you should not marry me, " continued Sri Utami softened so as not to trigger Van Berg's anger.
"You renege on our covenant!" by Van Berg.
"I didn't know you were alive, I'm sorry for everything, you can divorce me if you can't accept my current situation" Sri Utami said lowered her head.
"You think I'm just gonna let you go? I will repay all your attitude Sri!" van Berg said sharply to make Sri Utami speechless.
Van Berg pushed Sri Utami's body to the floor. Van Berg with anger mixed with lust tore the kebaya Sri Utami violently until it was released all the buttons scattered on the floor. Sri Utami held back Van Berg's burly hand so as not to continue his action while sobbing.
"Don't be like this Van Berg, "sir Sri Utami as she sobbed her head.
"Then what do I have to be like? Huh! You used to serve, why do you want to be treated so well!" van Berg in front of Sri Utami.
Van Berg grabbed Sri Utami's hand which held his hand. The hand was gripped, now his hand tore the songket cloth wrapped around his waist.
"Stop Van Berg!" half screaming while stripping.
Van Berg nearly stripped Sri Utami naked, the clothes covering her body already torn apart by Van Berg. Sri Utami continued to hit the chest of the field of men who were at the peak of the anger.
"Don't act holy Sri, I've married you!" whispered Van Berg beside Sri Utami's ear.
"Which areas have Ryosuke touched?"ejek Van Berg looked at the sobbing Sri Utami.
"Enough Van Berg! you're not the person I know anymore!" the Tears of Sri Utami

"Van Berg, we moeten bespreken, er is new news (We have to discuss, there is new news)" Vander Plass said.
Van Berg annoyedly stopped his activity, he walked open the door of the room, came out and closed the door loudly. While Sri Utami was speechless staring at her scattered clothes.
