Chapter 66: This is for Barend, from Oudere Brour (Brother brother)
Pieter was in the queue long enough. He came home quite late today, in the yard looks like Barend was playing his toy.
Pieter brought the bucket of water into the tank, put it in. Then wash his hands and face
After that he began to prepare food for Mamma and her little sister. Pieter brought only five loaves of bread for today.
He put the bread in the container and took it. First, he gave the bread to his mother. The woman who was a widow is still silent.
He refused to say anything to his son. He opened his eyes for days just to stare blankly. There's nothing else her mom can do but that.
Pieter understood that, His father was the reason for his mother's happiness. But what the forces of destiny say is different. And both of them should be able to accept that bitter destiny.
Pieter walked up to her mum who still looked pensive. The sound of Pieter's footsteps was ignored. Pieter was only able to sigh when right next to him. In a soft tone Pieter said,
"Mamma, you can fill your stomach with this. Eat up!" pieter said, putting the food next to her Mammanya.
When he came here, his heart always hurt. Seeing her Mamma sitting down, with a blank look and puffy eyes.
There's not much Pieter can do about his current Mamma condition. He, can only help her take care of Barend.
"Eat, you must live!" said Pieter got up, kissing her Mammya's forehead. Pieter walked over to Barend, who was engrossed in his toys.
"Pieter?" he said Pieter was sitting next to Barend.
"You hungry?" pieter asked, the plain face nodding while looking at her.
Barend nodded while looking at him expectantly.
"I have this, let's eat!" pieter said to Barend who was smiling after hearing that.
Pieter gave one bread to his brother and one to him. They start eating it, and Pieter occasionally plays with Barend.
He was a good brother to Barend. Military forces are usually hard-witted. But it's different with Pieter. He's tenderly loving.
"I remember something!" pieter said, Barend looked up at Pieter this time.
He wanted to know what Pieter was forgetting. Judging from the look on Pieter's face. It seems that something that is forgotten is an interesting thing.
"What, Oudere Broer?" barend asked, curious about him.
Pieter smiled at the question, from the side Pieter pulled the package he had bought in front of Camp.
"This is for Barend, from Oudere Broer. I hope you like it!" pieter said as she gently rubbed Barend's blond mane.
The happy face was coming from Barend. Soon, he opened the package.
His eyes sparkled at the pair of good boots he thought. Barend, really liked it.
Barend stood up, taking off the shoes he was wearing at the moment. Before long, he started wearing the boots that Pieter had bought. While jumping around happily, he laughed.
"Dank je, Oudere Broer! Dank je!" barend shouted happily.
(Thank you brother, thank you!)
That made Pieter very happy. Even if the world and the condition of its citizens are not okay at this time. It seemed, seeing the laughter from Barend was enough to make him happy.
What was seen from his sister's face. Always remind Pieter of his Papa. They're both really similar.
It was also what made Pieter sometimes shed tears. As a result of his failure he was unable to protect his father.
Recalling what happened to her father. The matter in his heart came back out. While watching the happy Barend. Pieter said something in her little heart.
Oudere Broer, will definitely protect you Barend! I promise!. Inner Pieter while looking at Barend.
Barend grabbed Pieter's hand, took her out with him. That day, with his new shoes he played a romp along with his Oudere Broer. Simple, yet looks so happy.
From a distance Anna watched them. What a simple happiness. Pieter is always able to make others happy.
Anna fell in love with Pieter a long time ago. Unfortunately, his feelings are self-serving. Pieter is just his childhood friend to this day.
They stopped playing when Pieter chose to become a military man. Over the Netherlands, he and all the Dutch colonized this nation. The Dutch East Indies, however, are currently named Indonesia.
I don't want to be just a spectator. Anna came to them. The twilight at that time was a little witness of happiness that would dim down slowly.
Time nobody knows. And that time goes on. Sad and happy are the colors of life. Our scenario is God governing. And life is a puzzle.
A pair of narrowed eyes in the doorway of the guard watched the three of them. His gaze is hard to interpret. Of course it was the gaze of Nippon.
Some of them then cursed. They use their language that doesn't know what it means.
Just like the natives who hate the Netherlands. Same with Japan at the time. They also hate white people.
