The break bell ended, all the students went into their respective classes. The teachers also went into the classroom to return to teaching for the next two hours.
Today Sulton, the history teacher entered. The killer and fierce teacher made all the students silent and did not say much.
"If you're noisy, Mr. scribble his presence!" threaten the man with a fierce face.
"Andi!" call him, the man began to pass off one by one his students.
"Okay, now go to page three!" tell the man.
All of them opened the page their teacher pointed to. There are several reading benches together because not all children have history books.
"We learned about Romusa.
Romusha is referred to as a system of forced labor that harms the people of Indonesia, during the Japanese colonial period. Here is an explanation of the work of romusha and its impact on the people of Indonesia. Romusha is a system of forced labor that Japan applied to the population of Indonesia during the colonial period (source. Google).
Suddenly silent atmosphere. A smoke rolled them. It shows how cruel forced labor is.
The deployment of the romusha was intended as a preparation for the Great East Asian War. The romushas were forced to build Japanese defensive caves at Mrangi, Pundong, and Bantul in 1943-1945. Not only that, Japan also deployed romusha to meet the needs of the Japanese army. (Google source). Romusha period of 3.5 knows or equivalent to 900 days. Every day died between 10 – 15 people, up to 1,000 people were killed in 900 days.
Unlike what had been imagined, Romusha actually also got a salary. Salaries vary from type of job and region. Unmarried miners earn between 40-60 cents plus 400 grams of rice. For those who have a rice family as much as 750 grams. Unfortunately, the amount of payment is not balanced with their work.
The lesson was still going on, the students started to squirm tiredly. Their teacher was still raving in front of the class explaining the lesson.
"Jeez ... Why did the bell come home so long!" grumbled one of the students annoyed.
One of his friends saw a circular object in his left arm.
"Eh ... Is it eleven?" tanyanya's confused.
"Can't you?" continued.
"What time?" ask his friend.
The student showed the watch in his hand. Eventually, his friend could only give up. It's not time to go home yet. They listen to the teacher in front of the class.
"Something asked?" ask the teacher while looking at the children.
Everything seems silent. I felt a strange air start to enter this class. The girl began to fidget, she prayed no matter if her body was all sick.
"Allahumma bihaqqil Fatihah, Wasirril fatihah, Ya Faarijal hamma, wa Ya Ya kasyifal ghomma, Ya Man li ibaadihi yaghfiru wa yarham, Ya dafi'al bala-i Ya Allah, wa Yaah dafi'al bala-i Ya rohman, wa Yaa dafi'al bala-i Ya Rohiim.meaning O Allah, with the truth of Al-Fatihah and the secret of Al-Fatihah, O the disseer of restlessness, O Allah, o Unbeliever of confusion, O He Who forgives and loves His servants, O Lord of Bala, O Allah, the Most Merciful Lord, O Rejector of Bala, the Most Merciful Lord!"
Hhhh! The wind suddenly entered and brought the air to cool. The bell rings a lesson mark over. All the children were relieved and a little cheering. Some stood up while patting their numb buttocks.
The teacher came out in a daze. Ahmad who just came out of another class was very surprised by his colleagues.
"Sir Sulton?" call him.
The man called stammered. "Eh ... sir?"
"Mr is okay?" ask Ahmad.
"I'm fine" Sulton replied, moving to the teacher's room.
Ahmad saw the class. His feet were eager to side him, but some children came out with relief to make him urinate. The man decided to head for the teacher's room.
In the classroom. Just now withstanding the excruciating pain. The girl doesn't know what to do. Danar stroked his shoulder.
"Shirt," he called softly.
"Hhhhh!" a big breath came out of the girl's mouth.
'You have betrayed Sekar!" shouts to astral beings.
"You're a traitor!" a large voice supports hearing.
"Let'sah!" screams Now.
Panicked, the teenager hugged his colleague. Sekar revolted, Danar until almost strayed.
Just standing up, the girl's body seemed to float. Danar shouted with all his might. But not a single sound came out of his mouth.
"Strong!" only the movement of his mouth that read along with the neck veins that stiffened the sign he let out all his voice.
"Danar .. Go!" pinta the girl. "Save yourself.''
Danar shook his head, the teenager stood up and was about to hug the floating Sekar. Honey, his body was like someone pushed him back to fall.
"Go Danar .. I beg ... go!" pinta Sekar's.
"Danar, Now!' Ahmad's in.
The hot and gripping atmosphere suddenly disappeared. Sekar's body that floated down, Danar caught his body so as not to just crash onto the floor.
Brug! Both bodies fell. Ahmad went straight to his two students.
"Strong, Danar!"
"Sir, Sekar fainted!" Danar.
Ahmad immediately carried his student and brought him to the UKS. Several teachers and health workers treated Sekar who collapsed.
Five minutes, the girl was conscious. She was crying in the arms of a female teacher.
"Why did you faint, son?" ask the teacher.
"I didn't eat breakfast, Mom" I lied to you.
Both Danar and Ahmad said nothing. Two different age people choose to be silent because they believe if they tell the truth no one believes.
Sekar was brought home by Ahmad. The man insisted, though Sekar refused him many times.
"I don't want anything to happen with you" said Sekar.
"I won't do anything, son, believe me!' said the man.
Tono comes out because she sees her daughter being ushered in by a foreign man. Ahmad introduced himself as a religious teacher at the school where Sekar studied.
"So Sekar had fainted at the school Pak," reported Ahmad.
"Son," Tono was so worried.
"It's okay, Dad," said the girl.
Upon entering, her mother hugged her daughter when Tono told her what had happened.
"Son, eat a lot of kiddo. I'll cook your favorite meal" the mother asked sadly. "You're too skinny."
"Yes Ma'am" said Sekar.
In his room Sekar asked to rest by his father. The mother also forbade helping.
"Do you need to go to a doctor?" ask Rita to worry.
"No need for Madam. My son has a hard time eating" said Tinah.
"Well, if there's anything you can tell me directly, don't hesitate!" said the kindly rich lady.
"Yes Madam .. thank you," said Tinah.
While in his room, Sekar was so soundly asleep. The girl was exhausted. Many astral beings stared at him.
"Sekar .... Why did you lose your smell?"
seriated.
