In the evening, Eko and the others set a bonfire in his yard. They burned yams, corn and fish. Cassava has been steamed and given a coconut grater. They replace dinner with cassava, yam, corn and fish. Gendis was also among them. As the only woman and the youngest, the girl was spoiled by the others.

“Zam.. Try you phone your grandfather. I want acquaintance,” exclaimed Yakob.

“Phone aja, Zam. Than he ngigo kebawa dream. Grandpa Abi.. grandfather Abi. hahaha.”

Azzam took the phone out of his pants pocket. Since this afternoon, Yakob has been fussy to be introduced to the grandfather. The young man immediately made a video call to Abi. After a few rings, Abi answered his call.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam, grandpa healthy?”

“Aalhamdulillah's. Where are you, Zam?”

“I again nginep at Eko's house. We're burning this again.”

Azzam showed the bonfire, then highlighted his friends one by one, not least Yakob. With a sweet smile, Yakob waved towards the camera. His heart was pounding, soon Azzam will be introduced to his idol. It was like he was going to meet a woman.

“Grandpa, anyone want to know grandpa.”

“Who?”

“Bang Yakob.”

Yakob quickly moved to the side of Azzam. The man immediately brought his face closer to Azzam. His eyes looked at Abi's face that filled the phone screen.

“Goodnight Mr. Abi. Introduce, I am Yakob, his friend Azzam.”

“Oh so you whose name is Yakob.”

“Iya. I am a big fan of Abi.” sir

“Call grandfather only.”

Seeing Yakob talking to Abi, Zachariah's frown arose. The young man approached Yakob. He raises his face to the camera, blocking Yakob's face.

“Healthy grandfather?” ask Zakaria.

“Alhamdulillah.”

“Sana you! I told you not to have you between me and Abi's grandfather.”

Yakob pushed Zakaria until her face was not caught on camera again. Azzam and the others could only laugh at the ridiculous manner of Yakob and Zakaria.

“So grandpa see there's his sister Eko. What is the name, grandpa forgot.”

“Gendis, cake,” Azzam replied.

“Oh yes, Gendis.”

“Kakek... sometime can I meet with grandfather?”

“Bby.. if you are on holiday, play to Bandung. Nginep at grandpa's. Later you sleep in a tree house, hahaha.”

“Waduh rich monkey dong, cake. Hahaha.”.

For a while Yakob talked to Abi. A lot of what the man asked Abi. Understandably, since childhood he had heard stories about Abi from both parents. And since then, she has been the number one fan, even though she has never met face to face. Turns out Abi was a fun guy.

“Zam.. how many of your friends are on vacation to Eko's house?”

“Four, cake. If the same Eko so five.”

“Grandfather transfer to your account make their pocket money. Don't forget, you also make gendis.”

“Ready, cake.”

“Awas not circumcised ration of your friend.”

“Hahaha. grandpa can aja.”

The conversation between Azzam and Abi ended. The young man checked his bank account. Abi has already sent some money to his friends.

“You have a bank account, right?” ask Azzam.

“Kakek Abi just sent money for your pocket money. I just transfer it to each account. make Gendis, tomorrow I take cash at ATM.”

“I also dapet, sis?” ask Gendis.

“Iya.”

“Still yes, Zam,” says Eko.

Azzam began sending money that Abi gave to the accounts of his friends. Seno widened his eyes to see the nominal sent Azzam. Abi gave two million rupiah to each of Azzam's friends.

“Zam.. ngga wrong this pocket money that grandfather Abi love?” ask Seno.

“Ngga. Why why?”

“Bany much.”

“Wah sultan emang different if you give pocket money. Must have been yesterday the time you dapet angpaw gede from Abi's grandfather,” exclaimed Zakaria.

“Gede bang.”

“How much?” asked Yakob curiously.

“Two thousand, hahaha.”

“Two thousand what, nih? Two thousand dollars?”

“Two thousand silver.”

“Serious?”

“Serious. Even opa Kevin only gave a thousand silver.”

“Magic is also Abi's grandfather, hahaha. but what is transferred is different again of course. Yeah, right?” goda Yakob's. He did not believe it, a conglomerate like Abi gave his grandchildren two thousand silver.

There was no reply from Azzam, only a smile on his lips. Pandavas five plus Anfa did not give any more angpaw on them. But the angpaws received from his uncles, if collected, amounted to almost a hundred million. And it all goes directly into each other's accounts.

“Oh yes, you will plan to take what corps after graduation later?” ask Yakob.

“I'm a combat aviator corps,” Azzam replied.

“I too,” sahut Eko.

“I kopasgat (Quick Motion Squad Command),” connect Zakaria.

“Mantap. Take the fighter?”

“Iya,” Azzam and Eko reply simultaneously.

“Then you, how?” Yakob looked at Seno.

“But to mind. Calm still two years away,” Seno said while chuckling.

Among others, it was Seno who did not know which corps would join. If the three friends chose to be in the fighter air corps, the young man had not thought of getting there. It was possible that he would take the Navigator or the Electronics corps, according to the education he took.

“If your own brother?” this time, Eko asked.

“I take the infantry corps. I'd like to sign up for kopassus.”

“Mantap, bang. What are you, Wil?”

“Korps Marines.”

“Mantaplah. Hopefully you all can achieve what you want,” Yakob said.

“Aamiin.”

All who were there except Seno, had indeed imagined the difficulties that would be experienced when taking the corps he chose. But they are sure, with a strong determination and unyielding spirit, all obstacles will be overcome.
