CUTS
Regency Headquarters...

This story makes me go back in time. As I write it, I have to really go down every road I have been on in the past. The path that made us grow as strong individuals resulted from years of war education.

Hope you guys like it...

Happy Reading's...😊😊😊

This is where we are now, a headquarters located in the district. Abu looks calm, it looks like Abu is ready with all the risks that will come after this. Only Umi and I were frightened by our current situation.

We didn't walk in the dark this time. They did not close their eyes and tie our hands. There is nothing they need to hide instead they are showing us and the rebels how well the combat equipment the country is providing them.

We were taken to the district headquarters on a covered armored tank. We could not see out, there were only a few soldiers sitting with us and a man on the roof of a tank with full weapons.

They also treated us well, did not yell at us and even gave us a drink.

I followed what Abu made, Abu drank the water they gave me and Umi.

Abu, Umi and I were placed in separate rooms. I was scared but couldn't do anything. There is a bathroom and a bed.

I sat on the bed anxiously thinking about what happened to my parents. Why did they separate us? If you want to kill should be shot immediately at that time but we were brought here. Are they going to torture us and dump our bodies in the village? My God, is this the end of my life with the parents who raised me? I heard the sound of azan, the door of my room was opened from outside.

"It's the mukena and the alphabet and dinner for you. Take it easy, we won't do anything bad if you cooperate." Said a man in his full uniform.

That night, for the first time I slept in a foreign place. Eat the food they give by completely surrendering themselves to the Khalik. If this food is poisonous, I will die tonight and I will pray to keep my faith until the end of my life. But, tonight I am not dead either, what I feel right now is a very heavy drowsiness. Until finally I fell asleep to pick up a dream and pray that I can still see my parents tomorrow.

I woke up feeling cold with the early morning weather infiltrating through the wind. The sound of azan is out there. I went to the bathroom and prayed dawn. I think long enough than usual with tears that have come down by themselves. I don't know when I'll be able to enjoy the remembrance back after this.

The door opened again, one of them brought me some food. I glanced at him before he disappeared behind the door. "How are Abu and Umi now?" I ask myself.

I ate everything they brought into this room. I don't want to know if this food is poisonous or not. Dead now or later is the same for me.

If there is a war or this base is attacked at least I have the strength to run. My bedroom door is open again.

"Renra!" My inner.

The man smiled and another man brought him a chair. I sat on the side of the bed and he sat not too far away from me. We faced each other, the door to my room was left open and the man carrying the chair had left us both.

"Is the food here good?" I looked at him, was he insinuating me? Does he think I never eat good food just because I live in the village?

"Where are Abu and Umi? Why are we separated?" I asked back.

He smiled slightly, "Abu and Umi are very kind. They sleep well and eat well too. Yesterday's trip must have been very tiring for those who are old like Abu and Umi. They have also been examined by doctors and the result is they are healthy and maybe Abu is just too much thought at the moment so the doctor asked Abu to rest a lot first and not think about anything." Rendra looked at me intensely.

"Is anyone sick?" I looked at him again .

"No." I answered and turned my eyes in the other direction. He smiled and I could see it with my tail.

"Don't steal a look! Look at me and ask me what you want to ask. I'll answer as I can." Rendra.

I let him say as he pleased, I won't respond to him again. "Have you met your brother? Is she okay? Did you ask her permission to accept my proposal?"

Degs...

What question is that? Asking my brother's permission to accept his proposal is tantamount to having my brother kill me directly. "Basin' weird guy!" My mind is staring at him.

"Don't put me in my heart. I'm much happier if you tell your heart about me directly. I'll be here a long time so we can talk a lot and you don't have to fear being killed because your brother won't be able to come."

"Can he read my heart?" My inner.

He looked at me seriously, "Does your brother have a lot of friends there?"

I was confused as to what to answer, there was no way I would tell Rendra how things were going there. "Is the guy who proposed to you there too? You must be happy to meet that man. Is he handsome? Who's better looking, him or me?"

Again I looked at her, "Married not to find a handsome husband but to find a responsible husband who is capable of being a good priest." Rendra smiled at my words.

"An honest, more handsome answer in or me?" I shook my head and looked the other way.

"Cut, I can't guarantee you and your parents are safe after getting out of here. Moreover, the rebels must be targeting you because they are considered spies even though you are the family of one of them. All the bad possibilities that we can eliminate if from now on we eradicate it.

"Have you met Abu?" Rendra smiled back, "It turns out I did not choose the wrong wife. We're too smart for my introductions."

"I only met briefly when the doctor examined both of your parents. They were now again outside the room enjoying the atmosphere here. The doctor said this would be good for your Abu and Umi mind health."

"So they're outside, that's why I want to see you." I was about to waltz out but my hand was held back by Rendra.

"You're the exception!"

"Sit down! Many of my questions that you have not answered, if you love your parents better now you answer my questions and I no longer need to ask your parents. They will be depressed if me or others continue to urge them to answer our questions. So what's your choice now? Answer me or your parents answer?"
