Pang Sagoe, Make me your Wife!!!
The Pang Sagoe...
“We share 3 teams. Team one will attack them at the junction towards Kampung Alue road. Team 2 will attack at Geurudong Hill and team 3 will attack at the back of Teukuh hill at Kampung Alue.” Inspiration strategizes with his friends before radiating to some predetermined point.
Ilham took 20 of his colleagues in completing their mission to attack the trucks of government officials who would set up a military headquarters in Kampung Alue. They will destroy the plans of the government officials because it will complicate their movement in the future because the village of Alue is located not far from Tanjong Village which is famous as the village of the rebels.
The three teams had split up and started to step towards the designated spot as a point to attack the trucks.
While in the hut in the middle of the forest. A pair of eyes still open reluctantly closed after the departure of the husband. Rahma continued to hold her body with the cloth that had been used by her husband. With her hair still slightly wet she continued to pray in her heart for the safety of the husband she loved so much.
She kept remembering how her husband calmed her down for a moment before leaving to fight. At that moment, Ilham hugged him tightly as if it was their last togetherness. The friendly words that her husband spoke continued to ring in Rahma's mind.
“Do not think badly because it is the same as prayer. So think well after you leave. Keep praying that God will protect your brother and other colleagues.” The grace does not answer. The more Ilham said the tighter his hands hugged the husband's waist.
“Until when does this war happen?” lirih Rahma's.
“Entah. We can only pray that this war will end soon. Only a miracle can reconcile the war in our region. Wh why? Are you starting to regret marrying a rebel like Brother?”
Rahma quickly shook her head. “Adek is not sorry but Adek is afraid of losing Brother. Is that wrong? Adek just want to live a normal life without having to be afraid when you say goodbye to war.”
“We pray that all this will end soon. Now sleep! Brother will hug you until you sleep.”
Next to Ilham's hand gently rubbed his wife's back to calm her from fear and anxiety.
The sound of boos rang out all the way to the forest. The awakens are more afraid when they hear that voice. Even though it was just a kiss but the sound of the bang made Rahmah riled and scared. All night until dawn before Rahma was awake. He performed the dawn prayer with a long prayer afterwards.
The prayer of a wife who continues to hope that the husband returns home healthy and fine. The same prayer of every woman in the cabin in the forest. They do not know if there are women outside Aceh who also pray the same for their husbands.
Rahmah came out of the cottage to prepare food or just ask about the state of the husband who might be known by one of them.
“Your eyes are like not sleeping last night.” said the woman with one wife Bang Ilyas.
“What's so visible huh Sur?” his name is Syriac and here is often called Kak Sur.
The woman smiled, “We are used to being left like this. You will also get used to.”
“What are they going to go home today?” askaku expectantly.
Kak Sur chuckled, “If they are not pursued and not injured then later in the night they will arrive here.”
“What? Injured? Chased?”
Three days have passed Ilham to the battlefield and increasingly make the wife nervous because there is no news from the husband or from some colleagues who are still in the headquarters.
Every time Rahmah asked the news of the husband but their answer remained the same if Pang Sagoe with other colleagues were still on their way home through other roads to outwit the security forces. The grace can only sit languidly whenever the answer is always the same.
“This is how fate would be if married to a fighter. You know the risks, right?”
“You've eaten? Do not let 3 days left you become thin dry. What Pang says later if he comes back.”
“Kak Sur, why Brother calls Bang Ilham with call ‘Pang’?” ask Rahmah to be curious.
Kak Sur looked at Rahmah the wife of Pang who apparently did not know anything about her husband.
“Do you not know about your husband before becoming his wife?” search Kak Sur.
“I only know that Bang Ilham is a rebel who is most wanted by the security forces. Dad didn't say anything more about Bang Ilham than that. Dad is also rarely at home so, where could Dad story or I ask more.”
“If it's like that, why did you get married?”
“Bang Ilham had been to our house a few years ago. I saw him in the middle of the night and several times Brother went home again and I immediately liked him.”
“So, you guys liked each other when Pang went to your house?” Rahma was ashamed.
“’Pang’ the call for Commander. Your husband was a rebel commander. While ‘Sagoe’ is deliberately pinned because he comes from Sagoe Village. Then, all the troops called him with the call ‘Pang Sagoe’ which means Commander Sagoe.”
Rahmah could only nod her head to hear the origin of her new husband.
“Do you not regret being his wife?”
Rahmah shook her head while smiling.
“I'm happy to be Bang Ilham's wife. He's a nice, gentle man. I love him very much.”
Brother Sur smiled happily. “It turns out you love blind with Pang yes, to stay in the forest just like this you willing.”
“Asplease be with Bang Ilham live anywhere no problem.”
“That blind love is dangerous. Kak Sur just hope that your blind love does not make you forget the fact that your husband is a rebel who is most sought after by the security forces and all the risks are also you have to remember it well. We hope that our area will soon be peaceful and the war will be over but we also can not do anything if one day our husband lives a name or it could be that we are lying dead beside him.”
“I know, Brother. I hope that if it happens someday I will be lying next to him. I want to live with him, Kak.”
“Your love is amazingly big for Pang. Surely Pang is very happy when he finds out if you love him very much.”
“I gave up my life to be by his side. Happy and hard to stay beside him.”
“Kak Sur pray that you are happy until old age.”
