Last God
Bondan, Alone

Kemala falls with the rest of the inner energy he uses to protect Bondan. Both fell on the highest hill. The blooming flowers welcome those who kiss the ground.

""this? this is the hill where the cave and the grave of Raiman are located" muttered Kemala.

Bondan was astonished, why it could be a coincidence. Bondan returned to the limp body Kemala who almost died.

"God granted my request, I will die Bondan" Kemala said stammered.

"You said that nothing could hurt you since you started eternal life" Bondan chanted as he tilted Kemala's drooping body in examining Kemala's wounds. Kemala's back was full of blood flowing from several bullet holes.

"I, I will be free from this world, sorry, sorry Bondan. Rest assured, if you really love me, we'll meet in the next life."

"No, no Kemala, you are strong!"

"Please promise" said Kemala with weight.

"For what? Whatever I'm gonna do! I promise!! Whahuh? What am I supposed to do??"

"buried me next to Raiman's grave in that cave."

Bondan was glued to see that beautiful face turn blue. A breeze swarmed over, like the movements of an angel who took away a life gently.

Slowly closed my eyes. Very slowly like a candle that leaves embers. Bondan's heart goes out. The millions of tempest inside his chest were now falling like dried leaves. Slowly and torturously.

Bondan so remember the story in the scriptures and the old saga. About the first two human descendants who buried the body alone. Now it'll be done soon.

Only Kemala's sword could he use as a tool to dig the ground.

In solitude, the breeze again whispered and his heart shrillly tightened.

"If it turns out that I managed to live eternally thanks to the holy water? Then I will live as an immortal man alone. Shit, shit, shit!!!"

Schools were closed, and people in villages often gathered and discussed the issue of war. Diu and Roni certainly did not come back. Is that war? War with who??

"The teacher once explained, if we have been independent. How can we fight again?" roni said to the same confused Diu.

The village hall was bustling with panicked and frightened people. No exception Roni family, so now Roni and Diu so also to the village hall.

The crowd was gossiping and not a few seemed desperate.

"Please calm down, yes, we also feel what you feel. We can only pray, may this war be over quickly and we can live normally as usual," said an old man in the midst of delusion gathered in an open hall.

"The market is closed, the harvest is long, we can't work. Then how can we survive if we just stay home and wait for the war to end?" chirp a citizen with a grim face.

"Yes! Is that true pa lurah?" say someone else.

"Then what if the invaders win? They say they are not human like us. Will we be destroyed?"

Hearing that, Mr. Lurah could only gulp. He has also seen for himself, rumors that are growing in an internet-savvy society. Plus, in the widely circulated videos it was obvious, their combat vehicles were so sophisticated and numerous.

Hearing the word no ordinary man, Diu asked Roni.

"Do you know, not that ordinary man what does that mean? Is the invader not of the human race?"

"Said his friend My brother, they are, the invaders are half ape humans," replied Roni slightly turned his head and half whispered. He did not want to be considered crazy like everyone who could not see Diu.

"A half-ape human??" Diu racked his brain. It was like he had heard that term. Finally he remembered something.

"I went home first, it seems like my grandfather knew about it," Diu told Roni. Dui rushed home hurriedly and excitedly.
