Under the Hugs of the Colonial Army
Hooge Valuwe Agreement Failed
As the General's footsteps drew closer to Sri Utami, suddenly a subordinate came to face him.
" I apologize General! Guests want to meet you now!"
" Aargh!! Just disturb!! If only I had been Nazi General I'd cut your head off!" He got upset while turning around and re-buttoning his clothes.
After their departure, Sri Utami also crawled to reach his torn danger. Slowly she wore it on her body, the light on her face was dim, her world was gone.
Tap
Tap
Tap
Sound of footsteps slowly approached the room where he was in the brackets.A blank gaze stared at the weak girl's face drooping on the dirty and cold floor. His heart was really cut to pieces.
Aarrghhhhhh
Van Berg hit the wall, making Sri Utami instantly glance towards the wall near the door. His smile was engraved, a glimmer of hope present with the coming of Van Berg at this time.
" The Van Berg!" Said slowly.
Forcibly Van Berg wiped away his tears, he walked towards Sri Utami who was sitting limp with torn clothes. Van Berg stared at Sri Utami's entire body which was covered with injuries, he immediately took off his shirt and put it on Sri Utami's body.
"I want to go home" Sri Utami said.
"We're going home!" Van Berg said as he lifted Sri Utami's body and hugged her in a bridal style.
While holding it, Van Berg was filled with inner war, to be able to save Sri Utami he had to let Sri Utami far from his life so as not to be kicked out again by the General.
All the soldiers stared at Van Berg who was carrying Sri Utami from captivity. But nothing could prevent Van Berg from bringing Sri Utami, besides the current General is preparing to go to Jakarta, to look forward to the decision regarding the land of the Dutch East Indies. So that no one can bother him with trivial affairs.
"Sorry kapitein, u kunt er niet tegen! And zal de generaal boos zijn (Sorry Captain! You can't take him! Later General Angry)" said a subordinate against Van Berg.
"ga uit de weg" (Stop away). Reply Van Berg with a cold and piercing glare.
One battalion gave way, and Van Berg calmly took Sri Utami to the delman and occupied him. His gaze was full of pain to see his beloved woman. He stroked Sri Utami's injured cheeks and lips.
" Go Sri! Meet your mother!" Say Van Berg with teary eyes, topped with a sweet kiss. Maybe this is the last kiss from Van Berg as a husband to Sri Utami.
" The Van Berg.." Sri Utami said that Van Verg had his hand.
"Kusir will take you to your mother's place! Lead your people against my savage people!" Said Van Berg while cupping his wife's tiny face.
" The Van Berg.. Dank U"
" You hate Dutch, don't speak my wife's dutch!" Van Berg said as he stroked Sri Utami's head, he did not want to miss anything one last time.
"ik hou van je" (i love you) Sri Utami said in tears.
"ik ook! (me too) very! I'm sorry I didn't make a good husband for you!" Van Berg.
Sri Utami realized that Van Berg was so rude, so much pain, but deep down, Van Berg did not want to hurt him. Sri Utami hugged Van Berg and took off, after which she kissed her husband's cheek. Then Delman left the streets.

World political conditions became a domino effect for other countries, after World War II, Vietnam has officially become an independent state under the control of the indo-china federation. Over these conditions the Dutch began to close proximity to Indonesia.
Van Mook, who is a Dutchman, proposed that Indonesia agree to be the representative of Java in the formation of a free country within the scope of the Netherlands.
The meeting between Syahrir and Van Mook took place at the British Army Headquarters in Jakarta. The meeting that took place after the November 10 war in Surabaya was initiated by the British who aimed to convey the intentions of the arrival of allies and the United Nations to Indonesia.
The next meeting took place again between Indonesia and the Netherlands, where the Netherlands proposed that Indonesia be a Dutch commonwealth, but this was rejected outright.
...The full sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia over the islands of Java and Sumatra was recognized by the Dutch government....
...The two sides jointly form the United States of Indonesia (RIS)...
...RIS together with Suriname, the Netherlands and Curacao became members of the state under the control of the Dutch kingdom....
There was a reunion between Shahrir and Van Mook.
"Ik heb niet de macht om beslissingen te nemen. And zal ik het voorstel van de heer Syahrir voorleggen aan de Nederlandse regering" (I have no power to decide. Then I will bring this proposal to the Dutch Government Mr. Syahrir) said Van Mook (just an illustration)
"Prima, ik wacht de beslissing van uw regering af" (Well I'll wait for a decision from your government) replied Syahrir (conversation illustration)
Archibald Clark Kerr as mediator in the negotiations seemed happy and they agreed talks between Syahrir and Van Mook known as Batavia Concep, this will be brought to the conversation in Hooge Valuwe, the Netherlands.
The Indonesian delegation departed for the Netherlands on 4 April 1946 aboard an aircraft belonging to Dutch airline KLM.
The atmosphere in the homeland is still heating up, fighting in Java and Sumatra is still happening. The same is the case with the fierce negotiations in Hooge Veluwe that occurred.
The negotiation room was attended by the Dutch government and its cabinet and the Indonesian delegation attended by Sutan Sjahrir, Suwandi, Pringgodigdo, and Sudarsono.
"We weigeren, we willen geen gelijke positie hebben met Indonesia" (We refuse, we do not want to have an equal position with Indonesia)" said the Dutch government representative.
"We kunnen niet onderhandelen met Indonesie, wat dacht je ervan, we hebben gewoon een protocol idee" (We can not negotiate with Indonesia, Indonesia, how about we have the idea of protocol only) continued the Dutch delegation.
" Sorry, we willen het Protocol-idee niet! (Sorry we don't want the idea of Protocols!) Reject Suwandi
"De vorm van het protocolidee verschilt van de overeenkomst the "(The idea form of the protocol is different from the agreement) continued Mr. Suwandi.
"De vorm van het akkoord is zeer in strijd met de Nederlandse Grondwet en met politieke partijen in Nederland, vooral religieuze partijen in de Tweede Kamer die geen onderhandelingen willen." (the form of the agreement is very contrary to the Dutch Constitution and political parties in the Netherlands, especially religious parties in the Lower House (Tweede Kamer) who do not want negotiations), said Prof Dr. Bt W.Schemerhorn.
"U zult de facto Java en Madura eens zijn, niet Sumatra" (You will agree de facto Java and Madura, not with Sumatra) said the Dutch Government delegation.
The condition of the negotiations that were terrible, did not find common ground, relations between the Dutch of Indonesia deteriorated, Van Mook brought proposals to the Indonesian delegation, but was rejected outright. The Indonesian delegation was adamant about defending its wishes. Because neither of them would budge, the Indonesian delegation returned to the homeland empty-handed.

A man of Dutch descent pensive, he looked at the local girl who had been with him for almost a month no longer. Pain is not playing, the spirit of his life is gone, although beside him Madeleief and Rafunzel tried to comfort him, Van Berg lived life remains uninspired.
" This is your decision Van Berg! Can you pay a little attention to me!" Madelief.
" Sorry!" Van Berg stood up from his seat and picked up his war equipment, he looked very lazy to chim in on the words and protests of Madelief.
" Dad! Where are you going?" Intercept Rafunzel while carrying her doll.
" Dad went to headquarters!" Van Berg smiled and stroked her cheek.
" Yet your father is very weak! Too drunk inlander woman love!" Ketus.
" Please watch your words before Rafunzel, Madeleief!" Said Van Berg.
" why? That's Van Berg's fact! You are too blinded by love!" Madelief stared intently at Van Berg.
" Dad's leaving! Take care of yourself!" Van Berg's words did not override the wrathful Madelief.
His eyes immediately looked towards the room that used to be occupied by Sri Utami, and now the room became his own room. Sri Utami's shadow was still trapped in his mind. His smile was engraved, as if he was saying goodbye to the image of Sri Utami who always sat in front of the mirror.
After that the cold Van Berg stepped out of the house. He went to the Dutch Army Headquarters, because there would be important discussions with the General. In addition, Van Berg will take advantage of the action that will be held to meet Sri Utami, he already misses him a lot.
