Captain Tom
From the Stories of the Past

Tomi has been allowed to go home, he still can not do more activities. Maudy helps Tomi, to sit on a long sofa with a pillow rest for comfort.

"Abang, the bandages are all changed" said Maudy.

"Can you?" said Tomi.

"Ih. if you talk it's just careless if you say, yes it can be Bang." said Maudy carrying a medicine box.

Maudy opened the bandage, which covered her husband's stab wound. With heart, Maudy took it off and cleaned the wound first.

"Definitely when stabbed many times sick huh Bang?"

"It's nothing, let's look at these wounds on the back and front. There are many stories behind wounds that have dried up."

"Which injuries are the most dramatic?"

"Wound in the chest, when Abang was assigned to one of the areas, there are conflict-prone areas. In the forest at that time, while patrolling arrived - suddenly getting an attack, an arrow aimed at Brother and Member, in addition to the arrow, a bullet rain aimed at us. Some members were killed, Brother and three of Abang's men ran away, but bad luck befell us."

"Keep, you've been taken with them?"

"Yes, my brother brought them as well as the two. We were tortured, in front of Brother's eyes, they shot many times even, their bodies in plain sight, not shaped anymore, like starving animals how they did it. Right in the chest, they shot and stabbed, not only that, a petrol splashed on the wound."

"Date, it must hurt."

"That happened when you were Junior High, and that time served with Papah. The troops were deployed, to search for us. Only Brother left, one month Brother dying, between life and death. At that time, my brother was not strong. Sibang resigned, sayup - sayup heard gunshots, no one opened the prison door and took Abang out. All I remember was the smell of the rose flower perfume, her face was black, she seemed to be a girl."

"Stop, don't go on. I know, you're looking for him, aren't you?"

"Kok know?"

"Yes, like in the movies, right, I'll find out."

"Do you know who he is?"

"Not knowing."

"Do you really want to know?"

"No."

"Well, if you don't want to know, she is beautiful. Brother met him once, so miss him."

Aaawww

"Sick Yank."

When Maudy's hand pinched Tomi's waist, right next to her wound. Even Tomi, felt a tremendous pain.

"Yank's Oath, you're going too far."

"The story of the woman, lived once. As if telling the ex, so spes."

"Oh yeah jealous."

"Jealously, how not to be jealous."

Hahaha

"He's in jail now, he's one of those gangs. It's just that he has empathy."

"In jail?"

"Yes, but he's in law for life. It's been a long time since you've been there, almost 4 years, because they can't be visited even if they're alienated."

"Who's name is Bang?"

"That's curious."

"H.. Ask me again, what's his name?"

"His name is Kemuning, Sekar Arum Kemuning."

"Memorize it."

"Say the full name, you how the hell Yank, ah just make a gemes you."

"I don't know, just don't like to see that brother, mention a woman like him."

*****

"How are you Bro, long time no visit here" said Alfa when meeting Hadi in front of Tomi's house.

"For what time, you just do not know that I am here" said Papah Hadi.

"Still at home, look like Tomi, get young leaves. Don't lose to a ghost, her in-laws have to find more."

"It doesn't want to."

"You used to be in a match you didn't want to be, but beautiful."

"I'm sorry, my love is pretty much with Maudy. So it can't, another woman goes into my heart." said Papah Hadi.

"Ahay."

"Alfa, you still remember the woman who helped Tomi, a few years ago."

"Which one?"

"Tragedy of pine forests."

"Yes why?"

"He was a life prisoner, including a prisoner who was exiled. There's word from the head prisoner, he's sick now."

"Keep, the same relationship with Tomi?"

"Want to meet him."

"Well what's it doing?"

"So don't know, this meal will be shared with Tomi. Actually it is not agreed, but because the condition is increasingly critical so with a variety of decisions finally granted."

"Try it, just say it."

"I want to go in first."

*****

"Is tumben coming here?"maudy.

" This is on why anyway? I told you Papah's tumben is here. Alfa was now her own son."

"It's coming - it's coming."

"Today, the agreement period used to be like people want to go out."

"Yes, make some milk coffee" Maudy said, going straight to the kitchen.

"Tomi, there's news of the Exile Department."

"What news?"

"Yellow is sick, he wants to see you."

"What...!! " said Maudy immediately put the cup containing coffee rough until spilled.

"The woman you just told me about? ask to see Brother? I didn't hear wrong." Maudy.

"Yes, he wants to see Tomi." said Papah Hadi.

"No way, there's a need."

"Yank, he's sick again. Maybe there's something to say, what's wrong with fulfilling his wishes." Tomi said.

"What pain does he have?" ask Maudy.

"The father does not know, which is clearly very sick." replied Papah Hadi.

"But what a strange request, want to meet people's husbands. What is the security guarantee? can you rely on no? when it comes out, what name?" maudy.

"You are better, yes not. Security must be maintained tight, continued Pah tumben want to meet me, he still remember me when it was 4 years or 6 years more is almost 7 years like it." said Tomi.

"So you said you met 4 years ago?" maudy.

"Wrongly so, last before the court decides" Tomi said.

"Last you met him, what's the talk?" ask Papah Hadi.

"Not saying anything, just thank you. There's nothing more than that." replied Tomi.

*****

"Again tomorrow I'm going to see him, right?" ask Maudy.

"If so, why?" ask Tomi again.

"If I don't like how?"

"Don't be jealous of her, it's impossible to take your brother away from you. He's an inmate, even exiled again."

"Stay, fearing this cunning wits would come out, he would tear apart our household."

"Don't let it be, you know who he is."

"Yes he is an enemy of our country, after all why not just be sentenced to death anyway? even a life sentence."

"The other is the death penalty, only he is the one for life. Because he didn't do much, but only as his father's man."

"If you go there, I want to come."

"May, but if you can't come in, I'm sorry."

"I kidnapped that toilet head."

******

Tomi, Papah Hadi, and Maudy arrive at a correctional facility. Tomi, Papah Hadi, and Maudy were taken to one of the special hospitals for the prisoners.

A separate room, with strict guard. The third is checked back, and allowed to enter.

Inside, too, were fully armed members, and again checked all three. At that time a doctor came, approaching Tomi, Papah Hadi and Maudy.

"Sir Tomi, the patient is in the room, he has been here for 3 days" said Dr. Imanuel.

"What pain actually?" ask Tomi.

"Brain cancer, stage 4.He from yesterday, kept calling Mr. Tomi's name" he replied.

"Can we all go in?"

"Sorry sir, one man."

"What - what is it that only my husband can enter, can not so dong doc? I'm his wife, my husband's time has to meet a woman alone" Maudy said.

"Sorry, this is the procedure."

"What procedures" Maudy said.

"Son, you follow what the doctor says." said Papah Hadi.

"No Papah" Maudy said.

"Yank, please don't make a fuss" Tomi said.

"Tomi you come in, let Maudy be with Papah" said Papah Hadi.

Tomi and Doctor Immanuel entered, into the nursery of Kemuning. While Maudy put on an annoyed face, and immediately dropped her butt violently on one of the chairs.

"If you can't come in, why come along" Maudy said.

"With rules dear, we must not dispute rules. You just follow, maybe after this if you want to meet, later after Tomi."

"That's a really weird girl, wants to meet people's husbands."

"You don't have to be lebay."

"Lebay what the hell is Pah? naturally a wife dong jealous when her husband came to the woman who wanted to meet my husband. By reason of illness, severe pain. Who knows, I'm a doctor here."

"The doctor is smarter than the patient, so you take it easy, trust your husband. Eliminate your jealousy, ok dear Papah child." said Papah Hadi.

*****

"Captain Tom." said Kemuning when Tomi came.

"How are you? long time no see." said Tomi.

"Captain see, right? my condition now. Just waiting for time." said Kemuning.

" You're definitely cured."

"No Captain, this is the time. I have enough in the law in the world, remaining responsible in the hereafter. I just want the Captain to pray for me, and when I take my last breath, the Captain is beside me" Kemuning said softly.
