Bangladesh, 2019.
In an old house with a triangular roof, the attic facing the highway is carved like a double L upside down. On the lower floor is clearly a large river stone as the foundation of the floor used for home building materials.
Around the house is quite large, surrounded by large rice fields in green and yellow. Some people were cleaning swaths of rice and grass around the rice.
“Jun, Mandeh ka parak first, nak mamanen jariang jo cimangko,” said a middle-aged woman.
“Iyo, Mandeh, bia denai digiakkan padi nan tangjua,” replied a young man.
He is Arjuna Malik, an orphan from a village in West Sumatra. This woman was his mother, named Shamsinar. His mother said that he was going to the garden to harvest jengkol and watermelon, and Arjuna replied, Go, he will pay attention to the rice that is being dried.
The rice cannot be left alone when dried, there will be chickens or ducks that will come if not seen. Then, it could rain at any time. The rice can not be wet in the least, because it can become ba'atah rice and grow.
Arjuna had just finished High School, he did not go to college, because of his poor life, to finish high school, his mother had to sell vegetables in the garden, farm eggs and livestock. He did not want to trouble the mother again, the plan he would go to the area of Jakarta, Pekanbaru, or Batam, many friends who migrated there. So, he wanted to try too.
He has two hp, one android phone and another butut phone that can only call and listen to the radio. Arjuna installed the handset and pressed the loud speaker to make the radio sound clear. The reason for installing the handset is because so the rules of the phone butututnya.
“The government needs to take extra steps to immediately overcome the problem of the spread of the colourna virus in the country. Because, Indonesia is now the country with the highest death rate when compared to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia or ASEAN.” There was the sound of someone answering the radio host's question.
“Authorized from the data spread of the colourna virus released by Jony Iskandar Unileverly, there are currently 550 cases of the colourna virus in Indonesia. Judging from the spread, Indonesia has also defeated Singapore which now only has 432 cases.”
“The rate of cure of this disease in Singapore is quite high at 140 cases. Meanwhile, two cases are known to have died, in which one of them is an Indonesian citizen (WNI).”
“In the ASEAN region there are at least eight countries known to be facing this case. Five other countries are Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia.”
Arjuna continued to listen to news about the recently discussed case, a deadly virus. A few days ago, he watched a video of the person who was exposed to the virus, suddenly the person who was standing and walking collapsed, floundered, and died.
“Saroman chicken in meak?” Arjuna mutters. He said the virus was like bird flu.
Colourna virus, the virus that makes the body of the victim becomes colored, just as the name color, color. There was a green one, that person instantly died on the spot, blue in color, that person would shiver to death, whereas with the body of someone who was reddish in color, that person would shiver to death, he'll feel the heat until death.
In major cities, the virus has become widespread. From a private television show, officers wear robot-like clothes, carry the bodies of the dead, the sick, and even more terrifying cities now like dead cities, everyone is forbidden to come out and gather.
Do not know where this virus comes from, which is clear this virus spreads throughout the world, because not only Asia, but America, Europe, and others are also exposed to this virus.
The stubborn city people still choose to wander out and some even return home because they feel depressed with city life, so that the villagers who are not affected by the virus are also affected by the spread of the virus.
The government has strictly prohibited, but many people who pass, especially land and sea routes.
He looked up at the sky when he heard a small rumble, a voice he liked, looked at the airplane from below, back when he was little, he would shout, ‘Peanac plane pitih!” Arjuna chuckled as he recalled the funny incident, how he could ask for money on an airplane, but the teaching was certainly an example to his elders first. Children in the 90s who are now married of course.
“Woi, Jun!” shouted someone who was walking in a garden combat uniform. There are machete, lokoh hat, unjuik (Bags made of cloth).
“Woi Da, kama Da?”
“Manakaka ratah, ndak pie?” the male cheers chuckled.
“Indak Da, den manjamua paddy a, Mandeh ka parak pai harvest!” reply Arjuna also shouted.
The man was Tamir, had two children, a young man born in 1990, became a close friend of Arjuna since he was a child. He would cut the rubber to take the sap, he offered Arjuna to go with him, but Arjuna refused because he was drying the rice.
Arjuna stood up, picked up the guide's scratch and turned the paddy with a scratch until everything was evenly distributed. The sweat is pouring, the scorching heat of the sun is really stinging.
“Indak can! Indak **#&*#!” Arjuna heard a noise, which he could only hear was the beginning no, and the rest was not heard clearly. They were quite far from where Arjuna was.
“Apo tu yo, hemp?” Arjuna wondered why there was such a crowd.
Soon a mother passed by. “Tek, apo earlier, splashy in sinan?” asked Arjuna while pointing at the crowd.
“Oh, that, Tek Radiah child, nan sapangkek Jo ang Jun, just got home, nan marantau ka Jakarta tu,” explained the Mother. He said, Arjuna's friend came home from the region.
“Tu ba'a ko heboh Tek?”
“Virus problems. Order so takuik, son mausia paja tu.”
“Ondeh, ibo e wak leh, Tek,” Arjuna felt sorry when the mother said the community wanted to expel her.
“That's, lai was Kapalo jo Gorong village intervened, untuak mamastian paja tu so good, must manguruang selamo 14 days ago, bia jan manyebar in wak ko village.”
“Mehua by Tek.”
“Iyo!”
After explaining to Arjuna that the man would be isolated for 14 days so as not to spread the virus, he passed away. Arjuna continued to think, people were very scared and panicked.
Fortunately, at that time he delayed going wandering first, if not, maybe he would be considered positive for the virus, because the first effect of the colourna virus was shortness of breath and coughing.
