Don Gabriel Emerson lantern
Eps 2 - Hiding In The Village
Gabriel was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.
"How's Mr Gabriel doing, Doc?" john asked, Gabriel's right hand.
"His injuries are deep enough, but he'll be fine" the Doctor replied "For now, let him rest and once he realizes we'll check him back"
And John just nodded in understanding without the slightest initiative to thank.
In front of Gabriel's nursery, four burly men stood guard so vigilantly. They are even equipped with weapons.
"Dear Mr. Gabriel, don't let anyone in but the Doctor" said John "I'll go and find out who's behind this"
..........
6 Not then....
"What do you mean hide?" gabriel asked with his haughty gaze to John "A Don Gabriel Emerson has to hide?" knock it over again.
"Just for a while, sir. Until we know who the enemy is in the real blanket" John insisted.
"I don't want to, do you think I'm afraid to die?" furious Gabriel again shambil hit the table in front of him, staring intimidated but unfortunately John was not intimidated in the slightest.
"I know you're not afraid of death, but at least think about your mother. Don't you still want to find her? and also think of the business and wealth that your father has built with great difficulty. And also, what about your son?" john also started to get emotional. Gabriel glanced at John at a glance, had it not been for John keeping his guard, Gabriel would have died a thousand times.
John is so loyal to Gabriel that he puts Gabriel's safety first at the behest of Gabriel's mother 18 years ago, before his mother chooses to leave.
"Well, where should I go? The swedish? The polish? Israel? Germany or where?"
"Not abroad, but to a village"
"VILLAGE?????"
.........
"Whoaammmi..."
Firda yawned while writhing lazily. Her lips developed a wide smile while her hair was already like a lion roaring "Beautiful dream Firda.... Auu..." Just now he was happy to remember his dream, now he had to grimace and frown when he felt the blow of a pillow that landed his back.
"The reality is more beautiful because it's a fact, and the fact is you have to go to the boarding school in two weeks. So learn to get up early, Zeda Firdaus!" exclaim the mother while opening the window curtain so that at once the sun burst in and illuminate the room with shades of pink and blue.
"Firda was up at half-time 4, Ummi. Keep praying tahajud continue to sleep again, continue to wake up again continue to pray dawn, continue to sleep again continue..."
"Keep later Ummi cekokin coffee semitar let melek continue" said her mother again with annoyance. While Firda only grin while scratching his head that makes his hair already like mbak kunti just "How much rakaat was his tahajud?" asked her mother again while pulling down Firda from her bed and she also cleaned the princess bed only wayangnya it.
"Two.." replied Firda lightly.
"Just two?" exclaim the mother while ringing the head of "This one of you, Fir. Praying for a romantic soul mate like the Prophet Muhammad, a benefactor like Sayyidina Abu bakr, as resolute as Umar, as gentle as Ustman, as intelligent and courageous as Ali, I want to go to Paradise with them. But tahajudnya only two rakaat, naji only one sheet, shame the same prayer that you wrote it" hadik the mother again and again make Firda only crynyesan.
And do not ask where her mother knows Firda's prayers and hopes, because Firda wrote the prayer and put it on the wall of her room. And there are many other papers attached that contain prayer, hope, said the encouragement and others. Even almost every day Firda again make a note and stick it on the wall.
"And Firda was sleepy, Ummi..."
"Yes too." murmured Firda.
"Don't forget this dhuha run out. Remember, don't be stingy with worship!" exclaimed her mother then she passed out of Firda's room after finishing making up Firda's bed.
After her mother came out, Firda picked up the scrap paper and the pen. Then he wrote what his mother had just taught him 'Remember! do not be stingy with worship, let the reward be full and get the best heaven with all its contents are perfect. Let's envy each other!'
After that Firda put the paper on the wall and then he rushed to the bathroom.

"This is his village?" gabriel asked, watching every road he walked. He glanced at his watch which showed at 9 am.
They're flying out of Jakarta at midnight and nobody knows.
"Yes, all this time here you should not use a cell phone, do not open an email, just stay away from the Internet. No one knows you're here but me..."
"What if I need something? What if I want to eat steak? Or what if I want my favorite French cuisine?"
John chuckles at Gabriel's silly question "If you're still alive, you can still enjoy it all later. And I'm not sure there's French cuisine here, unless you make your own as well as steak"
"Then what about the company?"
"Me and Emely will take care of it, you don't worry. And this..." John handed Gabriel an old-fashioned cell phone "Make this phone one of his communication tools, it won't be traceable and don't give this phone number to anyone" john took it very seriously.
"You're like Grandpa's dying man on probation" Gabriel said flatly, leaving John only to shake his head.
Then the car stopped in front of a simple house, there was a woman waiting for them there.
John and Gabriel descend and the woman immediately welcomes him.
"Mr John." said the woman.
"Bring me the stuff!" john and the woman followed his orders.
"Where's my room?" gabriel asked as he walked in and watched the tiny house.
"Here." exclaimed the woman who led Gabriel into a room.
"It's so small." said Gabriel disliked it.
"At least it can be occupied" said John.
Gabriel walked in, the room was small to him, very small. Gabriel walked towards the window, opening the window wide so that at once the wind gushed in and stroked Gabriel's face so gently, as if welcoming Gabriel's arrival.
Gabriel felt something he had never felt before, a feeling of comfort and safety. What else is the village weather so fresh, no excess pollution, the wind is also so cool.
"Alright, I love it here" Gabriel said, looking out, where there were still so many trees and green grass. Still so natural, the natural earth is "Very soothing"
