A Faithful Oath At the End of a Rifle
IT WAS A HOT DAY

"But! Very diligent, here are the candidates for the state office,"

The young man with a sweet and friendly look smiled, a neat short-sleeved shirt inserted into the waist of his brown pants. Neat hair drizzle ready to welcome the day even though the country is in a monetary crisis. Harris is a student of civil engineering and campus planning at TriMandraguna.

"Iye Cak, are you at this hour just getting up? He said he wanted to be an officer, the clock just came out of the nest!" he dried the clothes he had just washed earlier while bathing, as the second boarding child was required to be independent.

Wicaksono, a yellow college student majoring in law is Harris's boarding friend, the young man is indeed a more contemptuous style, born from a fairly well-to-do family and demanding to make him prefer to live alone in the hostels. His family wants him to be a good lawyer, but Wicaksono is more ambitious as an officer, he said to look cool in the eyes of the world.

"Coffee first bray! Let's not panic, ngadepin pas'an snack money!" he said he was crouching in the red-ground yard close to the clothesline of the boarding houses.

Harris shook his head, "coffee on, breakfast first! Let's not get stomach acid!" he answered sitting in front of Wicaksono, he swept the terrace of the house with his big palms to be clean enough to be used to sit, while preparing to wear his blue alma mater suit. Obviously he is proud, for a village youth of his size who was only born from a pas-pas family and need a hard struggle to be able to study, his style does not seem like the original betawi child doel, but also looks like the original betawi child doel, handsome and cool in his time.

"What about Fatimah, what's the rice boy sitting around?" Wicaksono raised his eyebrows.

"Ck, you know! Who the gua thinks now, a real lecture, make proud nyak babeh! How to take a cepet thesis, continue to find work according to struggle and sacrifice, to change the system of government that is arghhh, miris lah!"

Wicaksono brushed, "kalo can nih, you should have a place in Senayan there! With the ability of your brain and conscience, you pantes become a representative of the people, let the country not gini continue!" abugn.

"Well, security concerns let the cave take care of!" kekehnya still stinks jigong, because getting off the mattress this young man even directly out of coffee without going into the bathroom first.

Harris pushed the slengean youth's head, "shower sono first! Tuh iler lu sampe dry, people also ogah have a filthy apparatus rich you!" the boy, he laughed.

"Have you bought rice yet not bang?" asked Wicaksono, felt his stomach hungry also last night spent chatting with his campus friends.

"Udeh! There's still a pack in the room, grab sono! He said rich people but how broke gini ?!" Harris whines.

He stood up excitedly, "yet! See later!!! As soon as possible, the cave will be a list of military education, will the cave hold the world in the hands of the cave!!!" his jaw.

"Woyyy noisy! Don't know if I'm writing a paper!" the head of another young man looked up from the window of the room with his eyes still narrowing away the sunlight.

"Wake oy! The world is so bright!" sewot Wicaksono sucks, even though he is so if there are people who disturb him to sleep.

Harris laughed and moved, "do most style first! Pants sagging tuh, buy a new boxer first, the time yes officers use boxer sag!"

"Sir, the cave is leaving!" pamit Harris's.

"Want to hang out?!" wicak shouted to see Harris pass.

MAY '9X

A cross-campus student runs through the grounds of the TriMandraguna campus building in search of someone.

"Lu knew Harris as a civil engineering boy?" he asked, to some of the people he met, but some people shook their heads, "look!"

He continues to search for his best friend, until he finds Harris in the college library alone.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "gua think you're in the air bang?!" he said without greeting, then he sat on one of the library benches.

Harris sighed, "follow! But the cave's a chore, too, so stop by here first,"

"Want to go to the demo bang?" ask Wicaksono.

"Follow, for the sake of the people's aspirations. There must be a change, we are educated people, it is appropriate that we defend the people, is that not the candidate of the army?" ask Harris. Wicaksono smiled broadly, "The yellow campus also followed the bang, the cave is also there later!"

"Oh yeah bang, next month there is a registration akmil! The cave is coming! But the cave is asking for your help, can't it bang?" harris frowned, "ask what for help?"

"Wake up the cave every dawn, so you can run in the morning. Practice to pass the selection!" his laughter was crisp, Harris closed the book he was reading '*Anality Mathematics Application For Engineering Field*'

"Eat him, so the humans are a little! Praying religious pole Cak, wake up at dawn when there is a need to doang!" nagging Harris, he laughed, making the library residents snort cynically and hiss.

🌟 Tomorrow

Dugh-Dugh-!

"Sir! Fajr oyyy!" Harris knocked on Wicaksono's room door. Although the owner of the room was difficult to wake up, Harris did not give up, faithfully he knocked and woke the friend, until Wicaksono woke up.

"Ehhh, where are you going?" exclaim Harris.

"Mandy! Prayers, that's a morning run, push-ups! He said he'd like to sign up next month?!" continued.

"Just bang, 10 minutes!" Harris sadistically dragged his best friend into the bathroom and flushed it with cold water, how not surprised Wicaksono was, his eyes immediately glared fresh.

"But! Sadistic you!"

"Body!!" he wanted to leave Wicaksono so that the young man would clean up.

Armed with a textbook in his hands, Harris watched Wicaksono when running in the morning, from push-ups to sh-it-ups, is the companion of the prospective general is practicing.

"Stop Cacao! Especially alcohol!" his orders.

"Yes bang!" he answered in a breath that was breathing heavily.

"Bang!" his breathing was stingy, Harris looked up, flicking his reading on the porch befriended fried bananas and sweet tea.

"Ntar the cave campus group came at 10 bang to TriMandraguna!"

"Hm" replied Harris with deheman.

10.30 wib

TriMandraguna Campus

The peaceful action of the TriMandraguna university academic community located in the front parking lot of the M building began with the gathering of all TriMandraguna civitas, ranging from students, lecturers, faculty officials, and university employees.

"Ru, the other campuses have moved to do a long march from their respective campus buildings, info from each campus senate!" Dodi informs the chairman of the TriMandraguna campus senate.

"Okay," Harris who was both in the line there took a deep breath. What if his parents knew he was involved in a demonstration involving almost all levels of students and the community. He only prays that he may be in the protection of Allah. Worry has been happening everywhere, in order to ask the leader of the country at that time to resign his position. About 6000 people have now gathered in front of the pulpit to start the oration action, various groups until employees are mingling here.

The sky of the capital was suddenly moody, not because it would rain or indeed the climate had entered the rainy season. Except that he was grieving for today.

The scorching sun did not dampen the determination of the masses to ask for the rights of their citizens.

"Ris, put the flag down at half-mast!" pinta Heru and one of the lecturers.

Harris advanced to the front of the pulpit, lowering the flag to half-mast along with several other students and lecturers.

They sang the national anthem in unison, when the seconds of the flag of state heritage plummeted. Then they silence for a moment as a sign of concern for the condition of the nation and people at that time.

Orasi walk peacefully, until 12:25 pm the atmosphere began to heat triggered by the presence of members of the apparatus near the overpass and demand them to march to the building of representatives of the people.

Harris can see so tight guard from the apparatus, forming several layers of security, ranging from the apparatus in brown clothes, green stripes, motorized troops several military battalions deployed equipped with shields, tear gas, and so on, firearms, Steyr, and SS-1.

Like they were going to fight against a fully armed army, while they themselves held nothing but firmness.

"Ris, aren't you afraid? How about back?!" a fellow of his faculty whispered, seeing the officers already preparing to repulse with their respective weapons. He does not want to die silly, just to defend the fate of one country.

Harris smiled, "the cave will not retreat, there is trust in the cave study trip, Rip. Nyak babeh cave wants a cave to be a useful person for nusa and nation. There is hope of a decent state life, which is entrusted by the people of the same village cave, Rip."

"There is a trust that the cave must strive for as a learned people" he swore his loyalty, even though the forehead was already in front of the muzzle of the rifle.

He was undaunted by facing the apparatus along with thousands of others, including Wicaksono. The nature of nationalism is firmly attached in Harris, if Wicaksono wants to be a muscular and armed, another case with Harris who prefers to play the brain, that is how to love his country, love the people in it.

Fara never once let out a sound, a cry of roar or a whimper when the general told him about his meeting with Fara's father. How their youth achieve the ideals of each who wants to change the world, improve the state system for the land of birth, and, it's just that his eyes have shed tears to river on the cheeks that increased chubby. Sometimes he wiped with the back of his index finger, helped by Al Fath patting and rubbing the back of the wife.
