MILLINIUM-TRENDI GENERATION FHADLAN
Episode 74

Fhadlan's land and Ghafur's ashes continued to approach the enemy's headquarters, waving a white flag, which was attached to the end of Fhadlan's bamboo stick. The enemy thought Hamdani's regiment would surrender, and they began to cease fire.

"Son.. Don't you have a final message to convey ?" abu Ghafur asked after seeing all the enemy's weapons from light to heavy pointed at them.

"No uncle" said Fhadlan, with sweat beginning to pour out, as the scorching sun started to burn his skin.

"Aren't you afraid..look at all of our directed weapons?" abu Ghafur asked, quite daunted.

"Fhadlan was very afraid of his uncle, but Fhadlan was determined to do this until Fhadlan found someone who had taken something very valuable from Fhadlan" said Fhadlan.

"Sister" abu Ghafur was amazed to hear the strength of Fhadlan's determination and honestly praised Fhadlan.

"Uncle feels there is a kinship to nak Fhadlan" said Abu Ghafur.

"Why is my uncle talking like that?" ask Fhadlan curiously.

"According to your uncle Hamdi ..you and your family survived the disaster of drowning in the vast ocean, it is very out of logic, as well as for the uncle of the same incident when we were able to defeat Imperum balqis the other day, it is very beyond logic, also for the uncle of the same incident when we could defeat Imperum balqis the other day, that's all the more Fhadlan's son.. Did Fhadlan have any special practices when invading the Balqis Empire the other day?" ask abu Ghafur.

"What do you mean uncle?" ask Fhadlan.

"For example, praying before going to battle, istigfar or special remembrance that is routine?" ask abu Ghafur again.

Fhadlan was silent for a moment thinking about something that his uncle Abu Ghafur meant.

"Yes uncle, which Fhadlan remembers when floating floating in the ocean or when invading the Balqis Empire. Fhadlan only remembered God Sometimes he also called his name Allah...God is only in the heart" said Fhadlan.

"Are there any more boys?" ask abu Ghafur.

Back Fhadlan pensive then he remembered the advice of Sholeh kyai while in the Jogja palace.

"Fhadlan was not discouraged, from the grace and help of God under any circumstances. For example, when floating in the ocean where there is no logic we and our family can survive, even though all is desperate but Fhadlan still has hope in God to give his grace, until Fhadlan felt sure that God would give help, but Fhadlan was not sure it was a district" said Fhadlan.

"That's it Lan, according to the scholars of salvation from a disaster it's a sign god memperyakannya so that he can do more sholeh again"

"Yes, uncle only Fhadlan is not sure if such a thing can be repeated again, for example at this time if Fhadlan and Uncle can survive the weapons of the enemy" said Fhadlan hesitated.

"So far as Fhadlan is concerned, there is no guarantee of the future, for the fate of all people in the future is the decree of God, that is, of all the will of God, so in believing our destiny ahead there is only one key word"

"IF GOD WANTS GOOD FOR US NOTHING CAN PREVENT IT, WITHOUT ANY EFFORT IT WILL COME IN ITS OWN WAY"

"IF GOD DOES NOT DESIRE THE GOOD OF A PERSON, NOTHING CAN WORK FOR HIM, EVEN IF HE IS IN COMMUNION WITH ALL THE INHABITANTS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH"

When they were about 50 meters away from the enemy leading, Abu Ghafur shouted while raising his two hands.

"We are the emissaries of Hamdani's regiment to have a conversation with your leader".

'Follow me ... General Benjamin is willing to accept you" said a man in army uniform.

Fhadlan and Abu Ghafur came forward again, watching the situation. The enemy group is seen with modern weapons ready to launch a coordinated attack on the Hamdani regiment in the open desert.

Fhadlan and abu ghafur were herded into a building where their leader was. They had only estimated that the enemy force was only the size of a platoon of fighters with long-barreled rifles and pistols.

Once they were at the headquarters it turned out that the previous estimate was a misnomer. Fhadlan estimates there are between 500 and 700 trained militants at their headquarters. Dressed in a uniform belonging to the paramilitary forces of the Ministry of Interior, the Central Security Organization

At this headquarters they were led by a very experienced general, a fifty-year-old grandfather, even though he was almost as old but still fit and energetic, he seemed to be no ordinary person, except for someone who is very famous and has high intelligence.

Who does not know the great name of General Benjamin? And there were four guards of General Benjamin who looked like they were also good martial artists.

Seeing their people trained and scavenging advanced weaponry is impossible if they have to subdue them easily.

"How's uncle what should we do?" fhadlan asked when they were in a building where General Benjamin and his bodyguards were.

"Hmm we must be careful Lan, it seems we are a big mistake.They are not friends as long as the uncle of General Benjamin is not a Yemeni government soldier will obey one of the generals of the Balqis Empire" whispered Abu Ghafur.

"Ahhhh so we're just gonna be a prisoner of meteka.. uncle?" ask Fhadlan

"Prepare for possibilities, hopefully not bad, son Fhadlan" said abu Ghafur.

"Say what does your leader mean?" ask general Benjamin cynically.

Abu Ghafur replied quite diplomatically.

"Our leader asked for an explanation as to why General Benjamin was stopping us?" ask abu Ghafur.

"Ha ha ha.. Hamdani's regiment is still too naive, I heard all your members are pure from the civilian population who only trained overnight, right?" ask General Benjamin again.

"True general" said abu Ghafur.

"Tell your leaders if they still want to breathe fresh air you will soon join us in the Balqis Empire under the leadership of the emperor Linggo Bramantio, or you go back to Aden by leaving the facilities you brought with you" General Benjamin said.

"General Benjamin ... Yemen is our homeland, why do you Balqis Empire want to rule over our country"? ask abu Ghafur.

"The name of your emperor I just heard now, is enough for us if the State of Yemen is led by a president elected by the people" said Abu Ghafur.

"Remember, General Benjamin, even if we were trained only in one night, but what we were looking for were two virtues of victory or martyrdom"

"While you will only wait for the two commandments, the punishment of God is hot winds or the punishment of the Yemeni people" said Abu Ghafur firmly.

"ha ha ha ha, have the guts also you apparently... Look what your government can do, but if you join us then we will pay you double how?" ask benjamin again.
