AZZAMS
First Cruise

“Whose eggs, this?!”

Keeping the egg in his hand, the trainer's eyes looked at the cadets and cadets in front of him. No one has answered the question yet. Seno is still worried, answers are punished, does not answer the same. It's just possible punishment if no one answers more heavily. The term Seno, forward must be backward hit.

“Whose eggs, this?!” ask the coach again.

“Ready! My egg, commander!” seno shouted while raising one hand.

The coach walked over to Seno. All the eyes of cadets and cadets were on Seno. In their hearts they said, 'fight.

“Many people can't eat. But you're wasting food!”

“Ready! I didn't throw the egg away. Her eggs accidentally fell.”

“Jaga egg one you can not afford. How do you take care of the country?!”

Seno just lowered her head. Due to the soil gully, she had to lose her eggs and would definitely be punished. It was like falling down a ladder.

“Everything! You guys are creeping all the way to the post!!”

“Siap, carry out!!”

All the cadets and cadets immediately lay on the ground in a bowed position. Then they began to move, creeping with the weapon in his hand, towards the post.

“Hadeuh.. yesterday punished because of iki, now because of telor,” said Zakaria slowly.

“Endhogku ilang, poor endhogku. Apes.. apes...” connect Seno.

“Your eggs are below, gone too no?” yakob Sahut.

Azzam continued to creep while bowing his head, to hide his smile. Even when punished, these friends can always make him smile. They all kept moving until they arrived at the post.

Later that night, after the evening apple, all cadets and cadets were welcome back to the dormitory. They still have half an hour before bedtime. It is used by cadets to wash or iron uniforms.

Azzam brought his already dry clothes to iron. Since becoming a cadet, the man had to get used to doing nothing himself, including washing and ironing. There was no one else to help her, like she was at home. Willi, his barn friend from AAL also ironed like himself. While Zakariya, Eko and Seno wash clothes. Yakob washes his shoes.

“Masak-cook itself. Eat your own food. Wash your own clothes. Sleep alone.”

With the grips of his dangdut, Zakaria sang a song owned by Caca Handika which was very popular in his time, until now.

“Pull mang!” exclaim Seno while twirling the clothes he will wash.

“Yiihaaa..” connect Yakob. The man's hips swayed to the right and left.

While Eko, wagging his head while rubbing clothes. Willi, who was near Azzam, moved his thumb. Azzam himself just moved his head slowly, with his face unceasingly smiling. Moments like this that become fatigue relief after a day of practice.

Finished with his activities, all cadets enter the barracks or their respective rooms. Since the bells had not yet rang, they were still conversing in the room. They discussed the egg incident that happened last afternoon.

“Eh Seno.. That's your egg all right?” ledek Yakob's.

“Don't discuss it again. apes is really me. Udah can not eat eggs, punished also.”

“Hahahaha.”

“Should the commander's time say ‘jaga egg one just not becus, let alone keep the country’, you answer ‘I've been heavy guarding my two eggs commander’ hahaha.”

“Hahaha.”

“Basic wedus,” nagging Seno while laughing.

“Douh.”

Yakob's laughter stopped when he felt his stomach twisting. The man immediately got up from his seat and came out of the room holding his butt.

“Awas out in pants, hahaha.” exclaim Seno.

TENGS

TENGS

TENGS

Hearing the sound of bells, compact, everything in the room, immediately went up to the bed and immediately pull the blanket. Do not let the coach come to deny them in a state not ready to sleep.

For five minutes they lay down, the sound of footsteps approaching their room. Soon the door opened and the lights went out again. The cadets who had not slept, immediately got up and stood beside the bed. The coach came in and checked the room. When passing through Yakob's bed, the cadet was not in his place.

“Where are your friends?!”

James, who was done with his affairs, rushed back to the room. He was surprised to see the coach in his room. Soon he went inside. With a perfect attitude, he pays respect to the coach.

“Where are you from?”

“Ready! Report the commander, I'm new from the bathroom. My stomach hurts.”

“How now?”

“Ready! Already relieved, commander!”

After the last occupant entered the room, the trainer immediately left the room. All the cadets immediately raised their hands, saluting. After the coach left, everyone went back to their beds and continued their sleep.

It did not feel like three months Azzam had been studying at the military academy. Doing the same thing every day, from dawn to night, certainly raises its own saturation for the young man. Especially plus physical exercise that is very draining. Sometimes the young man wanted to give up, because he was not strong enough to face life as a cadet.

But every frustration approached him, there are his friends who are able to remove his fatigue, through their silly behavior. Sometimes they share stories and that can slightly reduce the burden on the heart. Faced with the same thing, they also give each other encouragement and support.

After three months, cadets are allowed to cruise on weekends. After ten o'clock in the morning, cadets are allowed out of the academy. In addition, the trainers also give them the opportunity to contact their families or relatives. For those who wanted to make a call, they could gather in the hall. The coach gave them five minutes to make the call.

“Why?” ask the coach.

“Ready! My mother rarely picks up the phone from an unknown number. Permission to send message, commander.”

“Please.”

“Siap, carry out!” azzam quickly sent a message to his mother.

[Ma, this is Azzam. Please pick up the phone]

The message Azzam sent immediately turned into a blue tick, because Nara was online. Shortly after, the embroidery coach's cell phone, Nara, makes a call back. Azzam immediately answered the video call.

“Assalamu’alaikum, mama.”

“Waalaikumsalam. Azzam.. You're healthy, son?”

“Alhamdulillah, healthy, mom. How's your own mom?”

“Alhamdulillah, mom is healthy, your dad and sisters are also healthy.”

“Grandpa, grandma and others?”

“All also healthy.”

“Where's papa, ma?”

“Sebentar.”

The phone screen showed Nara's movements. The woman headed to her husband's office. From the top floor, Arsy and Zar descend together. At first glance they saw Azzam's face on his mother's phone. Rushing the two men followed Nara to Kenzie's private workspace. Nara stood by her husband's chair. Kenzie's face was seen looking at his youngest child.

“Papa.” call Azzam.

“Azzam... papa's son, how are you?”

“Alhamdulillah, fine, pa. All thanks to the prayers of mama and papa.”

“Azzam.” Arsy appears, waving his hand to the phone screen.

“Kak Arsy..”

“Oii.. mas bro.. healthy, right?” connect Zar.

“Aalhamdulillah's. I miss you guys.”

“We miss you too. How's education? Smoothly?” ask Kenzie.

Only a nod of the head was given by Azzam. The joy of mixing filled his heart. Longing for the people closest to him, finally can be released, even if only through video connections. The young man's eyes looked teary.

“The strong yes, dear. Mom and Dad will always pray for you. Mama is sure, you will be the best cadet and can reach your goals.”

“Aamiin..” Azzam's voice sounds choked.

The young man glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. The five minutes given to him were over. Although still not satisfied with giving up longing with all his family, but he also had to give another partner the opportunity to contact his family.

“Ma. pa. I was given a minute to call. I just want to tell you that I'm healthy and well. Greetings to grandpa, grandma, KiJo, Ninda, granpa, grandma, eyang kakung, princess eyesang, opa, oma, and others.”

“Iya, darling.”

“Healthy yes, mom, papa, brother and sister. Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

The video call ended. Azzam shrank the corner of his watery eyes, then handed the phone to the trainer. After saluting, the young man immediately walked out of the room. Eko, Zakaria and Seno who had finished contacting his family, waved at Azzam.

“We can get out. Any plans where?” ask Zakaria.

“Ajp free. Where is it?”

“Walk, eat, watch,” suggests Seno.

“Bby.”

“Yakob same Willi want to come with us he said.”

“Oke.”

Rushing the four of them back to the room, they were about to change their clothes. For cruise events, they have their own uniforms that must be worn when out of the dorm. If going out during the day, then they will be wearing day cruise service clothes. If going out at night, then night cruise service clothes are worn.

Excitement appeared on the faces of the six young men as they left the military academy. They finally got out of the dormitory for a moment. This opportunity of course used them for refreshing. They agreed to visit Armada Town Square or commonly called Artos mall.

Yakob shouted happily as he stepped foot into the mall building. While surrounding the mall, the man's face did not stop smiling. The eyes of visitors who crossed them, always look at the handsome cadets. Especially if it's not for the uniform they wear.

“Eat, yuk,” invite Yakob.

“Bby. Where do you want to eat?” ask Azzam.

“Eat in a good place.”

Azzam's eyes went around, then caught a cafe on his right. The young man immediately took another friend there. When they were about to enter the cafe, they passed by the taruni who was also walking here.

“Azzam..”.
