After Two Decades
Return Flight

"What about my family, Mr. Ren?" ask Prof. Ram.

"See, Prof, let me call you!" my answer. I pulled my phone out of my pocket. Find Prof's wife's number. Ram and immediately press the call button. Then I handed the phone to Prof. Ram. This professor received with his hands still trembling.

"Hc ... Hello!" The professor spoke to his wife as soon as the call was connected.

For a few minutes the professor spoke enthusiastically. Several times he was seen moved to tell that he had managed to survive in good condition and was on his way home. His face this time looked cheerful with a loose smile. I was also moved by the expression of Prof. Ram, who was like that, had a look of happiness when he heard the voice of his wife and son. Profs. Ram is lucky to still have a complete family. While I, I don't know who I can call to just exchange news and joke. Destiny requires me to live alone.

"This, Mr. Ren! Thank you!" Profs. Ram returned my phone.

"Ba–Good, equally!" I gasp from the daydreams. Received the phone with a broken motion. Profs. Ram looks smiling kindly. Then I smiled back kindly.

After that, I swiped the phone screen. Find another number to call. As soon as I meet, I press the call button. I waited for a while while hearing the dial tone, until the call was completely connected.

"City ...."

"Cash, Ren! Where are you? I tracked down your phone number, you were in East Nusa Tenggara. Did ya? What the hell's going on? Why did it get there? How are you doing now? You all right? How Prof. Ram's? Ren's? You heard me, right?" Instantly the voice across directly scattered without pause.

"Hadni, can't you speak slowly?" my door.

"I'm worried, Ren. I've been calling you dozens of times all day, you don't lift things once. What's going on, Ren? You're all right, aren't you?" Hadni returned quickly.

"Calm down, Hadni. Don't be in a hurry, I'm fine" I replied.

"Really?" tanyakanya.

"Really, Hadni. Uh ... Wait a minute, why does your voice sound like after crying? You crying, Hadni?"

"Well? ... Ti–no, Ren! It is as if you are accusing. I ... I'm not crying. That's right." Hadni replied in a stammering voice and sounded nervous.

"Yes already. I just asked, don't be so nervous!" timpal.

"Rennnn!" hadni half growled. "Can you be serious?"

"I'm serious, Hadni," I said.

"So how are you? How Prof. Ram's? Are you guys all right? What the hell's going on?"

"Listen to me carefully, Hadni!" my answer. "My situation is fine. Profs. Ram we saved. He is with us now in good condition. We are now on our way to the airport, soon we will fly back to the city. So, you don't have to worry anymore. Everything's all right."

"Well? Really true?" Hadni exclaimed enthusiastically. I can guess he was surging from his position while shouting in excitement.

"Of course."

"Thank God then, Ren," he said later. "I'm so glad to hear this news. Finally Prof. Ram survived. I really can't calm down before I hear the latest news from you. Thank goodness everything is okay. I need to quickly deliver this good news to Mr. Roy!"

"Yes, right. Please tell Mr. Roy, that Prof. Ram is fine. I'm afraid the old man was thinking too long. So, tell her this news so she can be a little calmer!"

"Well, Ren!" answer Hadni. "So, are you still in East Nusa Tenggara?"

"Yes, on the way to the airport. We'll leave by plane as soon as possible" I explained.

"Actually what's the story? Why did you get to Nusa Tenggara Timur? That's a long way, Ren. What the hell is going on? Who is responsible for all this? Why are they attacking us?" Hadni came back to find me.

I took a deep breath first, and then replied, "The story will be very long for me to tell you now, Hadni. Later if I get there, I'll tell you!"

"Well then, it's okay!" answer Hadni. "Oh, yes, I want to thank you, yes!"

"Thank you?" I repeat in a confused tone.

"Yes" replied Hadni. "Thank you for your good work in solving this problem. You are truly the savior of this company. Not wrong Korp. Masadepan is counting on you, you are indeed amazing. The head of the Anti-Conflict Team, but no one needed the help of his subordinates to carry out this mission. You're so great. I'm proud of you, Renatoku!"

"Yes, well, thank you also su ... Uh, try repeating again, what did you say? My renatoku?"

"Alright, Hadni," I said at last. "See you later!"

After that, my call connection was cut off. I turned back comfortably. Sighs in relief.

"Well, congratulations, buddy!" jan suddenly said. He looked at me with a smile.

"Congratulations to what?" I stared back at her in wonder. I just realized that since then, Jan was smiling himself listening to my conversation with Hadni.

"Yes, congratulations to you, buddy." Jan answered while holding back a laugh. "I'm so glad you finally got close to a woman again, so long ago."

"Eh?" Red goes out my face listening to Jan. "Just talk to you, that was Hadni, my secretary at the office. I'm just giving you a report!"

"I know that, buddy!" tymphal Jan's. "But your talking style was very familiar, like there is a relationship more than just the relationship of superiors and secretaries. Probably more precisely ... Em, friendly!"

I stared hard at him. It doesn't make sense. My best friend is sometimes really annoying. He could have said that.

"Stop taking care of me, Jantoro!" my spray. "You'd better call Fitri, he'll be waiting for news from you!"

"Ah, that's right you, buddy!" said my best friend. So he rushed out his phone and called the number of Fitri, his wife.

"City ..." The call was connected and he started talking.

I close my ears to his phone. Intend to hear their conversation. However, my best friend kept his phone away from me. The phone connection does not use loudspeakers. So, only Jan's words can I hear. I leaned back into my chair, giving up on bothering my best friend.. He heard her speaking loudly. It seems he deliberately amplified the sound to heat me up.

"I'm fine, calm down. You're okay, aren't you? ...

Thankfully ...

What? ...

Already, the mission is done. We succeeded ...

... Yes, there are no meaningful wounds, no,

... Now still in Nusa Tenggara, soon to leave ...

... You just wait ...

Ja. Take care of yourself too, yes!

... See you!"

I can't just listen to my best friend's talk. While also glancing at his face that looks crisp. Sometimes I think I'm happy to have a friend, but .. ah, that's it.

My body is really tired. I didn't get to enjoy the view from the helicopter. I chose to lean back and relax tired muscles and joints. There was too much struggle I went through. I need to rest.

***

A few hours on the helicopter, we finally arrived at the airport to exchange vehicles. Prepare for a longer flight. Flight home. Leaving Sawu Island and all the lessons I learned here. About all those precious experiences that a little bit started to change my mindset. On the one hand, I'm grateful to have to go through all of this. There is a positive side where I get a lot of new experiences and life lessons to get better.

At the airport, our business need not be complicated. No need for long safety procedures. Once we arrived, we were greeted by a CN295 type police aircraft that had brought us here before, complete with Captain Arief who was ready for 24 hours. Her friendly carving, kept me entertained. So after saying thank you very much and farewell to the police officer who has helped us a lot, I, Jan, Prof. Ram and our prisoner, Koh Shung, immediately exchanged vehicles. Get on that fancy plane.

When the night is almost here, the position of the sun half-sinking creates a dim light from the western horizon. Build a warm atmosphere on a dark afternoon. The sky was almost dark, and our plane took off into space. Glide smoothly into near-night space.

During the flight from the Sunda Kecil group to the long tatar island of Java, I fell asleep. My body bears a multi-level fatigue. In the physical, also in the heart and mind. There have been so many events that have shaken my mind and heart throughout the day since the. From the beginning of my journey to find Prof. Ram. There have been a lot of tough fights I have been through. Against Green Floor Building troops. To finish them off without any remainder. Then fight tooth and nail against the Six Eyes of Dice. Not stopping there, my and Jan's adventure continues to Sawu Island, East Nusa Tenggara. Starting from the raid on the harbor. Go around the city in a chase action with black-toothed troops. Then disguised as an army of Black Skulls. Continuing to the middle of the ocean with a motorboat from the Black Skulls. There are a lot of exhausting battles there. Up to the destination island, the struggle does not necessarily end. There are hundreds of troops springing up from the forest that we have to face. Fight for hours stirring up the forest on the island. There was also a disguise drama that infuriated my heart half to death. Until we were at the top of everything. The worst fight of my life. Facing the teacher of the Six Dice Eyes, the legend of the criminal world, the Nameless Old Man. Where I finally set a personal record, for the first time managed to do a tornado kick.

Lastly, Koh Shung provides the most unexpected cover. Giving the most incredible surprise that overturned my reason and common sense. About the story behind the motivation and background of being a human who has no spirit of life after being left behind all the people he loved. Touching up to the corners of my conscience. After that, the journey home must be hampered by the siege of the Black Skulls. Eventually, reinforcements came from the police.

All of those events made my body extremely tired. Deadly fights I've been through so many times. Psychological warfare also occurs. I've never had a mission or a task worse, more extreme, more dangerous, more difficult, and more extraordinary than this. Mission to rescue Prof. Ram was the craziest mission of my career. I repeatedly threatened my life. However, with strong ambition, on behalf of my father, and the help of my best friend. This mission was finally completed. It has been an amazing experience in my life.

So, bearing all the fatigue and fatigue of the rest of the struggle all over my body, I fell asleep in the soft seat of the aircraft cabin.
