Third World War, Begins


"The orpan has mutated. You remember, a nanodium bomb alone can't kill him. The bomb had already made him dust. But we know for ourselves. He's intact again" Anwar told Nugroho as the two got off the plane. They've reached the North Pole.


"It's terrible sir, if he's our enemy. Oh yes sir, I've read an article, he said here, at the North Pole there's a hole leading to the underworld."


"Well, I read that too, it's not the way to the underworld. It's a very deep passage to Candradimuka crater" replied lieutenant Anwar as he inspected the equipment. So did Nugroho and others. Their numbers were many, dozens of warplanes and twenty special forces. They are ready for a possible confrontation.

Meanwhile, on the hill Halimun, Kemala seemed to be standing on the edge of the ravine. His memory was still fresh when his kingdom was flooded and his people were washed away by water and hit by rocks and hot lava.


***


It was late at night when a private jet came and landed on a vast expanse of snow. The wind is blowing hard. Snow froths that were like wheat flour dust flying blocked the view.


"They're coming, they're coming!" pekik Nugroho who had noticed the laptop monitor screen. Military laptops are resilient and unaffected by extreme temperatures.


"Immediately make a connection, however, we better negotiate.


A soldier approaches Hon's young master who is having a conversation with Gani.


"Sir, there's a radio connection."


"Well! Connected Sir. It's."


Nugroho handed over the microphone to lieutenant Anwar.


"Collapse! or you we'll destroy!" gertak lieutenant Anwar.


Understanding that, Hon and Gani looked at each other confusedly.


"They're not messing around, sir. Look," the pilot told Hon's young master.


It's clearly visible on the monitor screen.it's a missile launcher, it's a bazooka and so on.


"I have a plan 'B' Young Master" Gani said with a serious grin.


For a moment there was no answer. Lieutenant Anwar so guessed, "What are they planning?" lieutenant Anwar said. Nugroho beside him just shrugged his shoulders.


"Okay, we gave up. Come here, handcuff us" said Gani. But Lieutenant Anwar's heart was no longer willing to believe in Gani.


The jet door of Hon and Gani's existence opens. The wind is still blowing. The occasional snow froth blocked the view. Chilly.


"It looks like they're giving up sir" Nugroho said.


"Yes, send an army to take them.


"Team Alpha one! Alpha team one, target surrender. immediately compose."


"Ready!"


"Ready Dan! Come on!"


The cold snow did not ease tensions as a horde of heavily armed soldiers ran warily toward enemy jets.


"Geez, I forgot, Gani can fly as fast as the wind." Lieutenant Anwar said. A soldier reported by radio.


"No one was on the plane!"


Lieutenant Anwar's concerns are evident. Just a few steps his army turned around. The jet exploded.


BOMM!!!


A dozen soldiers were bouncing and scattered. Even the one closest to the plane, his body shattered apart.

Dul Karim awoke in a hall, a quiet hall and only a clear stretch of floor like glass as far as the eye could see and seemed to pierce through the clouds. Well, around the glass floor was a white cloud of pure white cotton.


"Am I dead?"


Dul Karim still felt dazed and his body felt extremely weak.


"Where am I? Is this called achherat???"


Suddenly Dul Karim saw the clouds around him move around and roll into a human figure. All white. Like the figures of cotton dolls lined up in front of him. They, the cloud-men, seemed alive and began to gossip with each other.


"Are they the angels who picked up???" Dul Karim still considered himself dead and the large figures formed from the scrolls of clouds were numerous angels.


"The fate of this world is in your hands?" a line of rumbling voices was clearly heard by Dul Karim.


"The big responsibility is now with you, sober up, sober up."


The memory of Dul Karim recovered, he remembered, he gave up after his enemy threatened to kill everyone on the hill Halimun if he did not give up.


He remembered that he had given himself up to be bound and carried by Taupan and Gani the traitor and the horde of half-ape humans.


Until finally he was drugged and unconscious.

Between scattered debris and pieces of soldiers who did not get away from the plane, Anwar's lieutenants and dozens of survivors began checking in.


The smoke and the remnants of the fire have been extinguished. It went out so fast. This North pole and extremely cold air make the atmosphere back to freezing quickly.


With tears in his eyes, Anwar's lieutenants Nugroho and the remaining dozen troops began combing through the blast site and collecting the remaining body parts of his companions.


A crater was formed. It was half-circular and made huge cracks in the snowy ground. In the middle of the crater basin was a large explosion that appeared a figure of a human body that was charred. Not ruined, just a charred.


The contact drew the attention of the soldiers. Lieutenant Anwar was so enthusiastic.


Lieutenant Anwar dropped himself by gliding on the melting ground. Lieutenant Anwar soon got to the charred black helpless human figure. He had his guess and his guess was right.


That's Dul Karim. Dul Karim coughed and opened his eyes. Everyone is stunned.


"Uhuk! Uhuk!!"


"Dul's? Dul Karim's!! Thank goodness! You're safe" lieutenant Anwar sumringah.


"Where is this, what is this thing called achherat?"


hearing that, lieutenant Anwar smiled and the desperate romance that had been decorating his face suddenly disappeared changed into a bright face full of hope.
