Bombshell…
“Lariiiii!!!”
The sound of a barrage of rolling weapons broke the silence at the end of the night. The attacks from the air and the ground left all the occupants of the headquarters in a panic. The children woke up in confusion and the cries and screams of the women adorned anyone's ears that night.
“Bang, run!”
“Can't, Honey. Brother doesn't want you and the kids tortured.” Said Ilham while holding Zikri while Rahmah held Fikri.
“Dad, Brother scared!” Zikri hugged her father's neck strongly while crying.
“Come!” they kept running even though they were in training.
“Yes Allah, it's Brother Sur and his son!” Rahma saw her friend lying on the ground with their son.
“Come, run!” Ilham kept holding Rahmah's hand, he had promised to be with his wife until the end of his life as he had dreamed a few nights before. Unreasonable anxiety made him rethink if the end was near and it was time.
“Pang, run! We'll stop them!” said one of his men.
“There is no time to run. We were attacked from the ground and the air. Let's fight bravely!” Ilham finally stopped and positioned himself in front of his men.
“Pang, -“
“You run! Find Khalid!”
“But, Pang?”
“Go! They want me not you.”
“Pang, we're surrounded! We will be here until the end of life!” Ilham looked one by one his men then nodded and still smiled for them.
“Alright, we will fight until the end of life!” Inspiration kissed the children and his wife briefly then with the remaining weapons. They returned fire after gunfire until the sun began to rise in the eastern horizon.
The sound of a baby crying over his mother's blood-soaked body made the approaching soldiers suddenly stop their steps. A group of people have been sprawled with blood with two young children, one thought to be dead in the arms of a man and a baby still alive in the arms of a woman.
“Report! Everyone is dead! Only the baby is alive. Looks like she's protected by her mother's body.” The commander nodded then carried the poor baby. Take their bodies to the hospital!”
The comandang tried to calm the baby all the way out of the forest. The baby seemed happy because Fikri had been used to playing with Ilham's men so that he got used to other men including the commander who had shot his parents.
They arrived at the hospital and the commander, known as Rendra, took Fikri directly to the nursery to get maximum handling. The man immediately walked into the mortuary where all the bodies had been cleaned for photographs.
“And, about which one is Pang Sagoe?”
“We will know after bringing his family here!” said Rendra looked at a man who he believed was Pang Sagoe because the shape of his face was almost similar to the face of the girl who captivated his heart, Cut Zulaikha.
Meanwhile, in a different place. Abu prayed long enough to finish the morning prayers. Even in his prayer, he shed tears recalling last night's dream. His dream was to see his son go and bring his oldest wife and granddaughter. Her heart suddenly fidgeted after waking up until the anxiety of her heart was answered as soon as she saw Cut coming in the company of a soldier. The princess's eyes seemed to be crying and Abu knew what had happened. He also had heard from the soldiers who were there that last night they managed to capture Pang Sagoe.
"Cut, are you sick?" Ask Umi when making the bed.
"Your gate has taken its own course means that it is ready to accept the risk. Don't you think about it anymore. Come on, we'll be taking the body soon.
The door opened, a man in a striped shirt came back in, he was Rendra.
"Come, Sir, Buk, Cut. The car is waiting."
Abu and Umi walk hand in hand following Rendra. They walked behind Abu and Umi who looked sad.
A few minutes later the car they were riding in reached the hospital. "Mom and Umi please follow my colleague to the morgue." Abu and Umi went to follow Rendra's colleague without asking much. "Come, we'll get Teuku!" Cut nodded small.
Abu rode in Bang Ilham's hearse and Umi boarded the hearse of his brother-in-law and son. While Cut rides an armored vehicle with Teuku and Rendra. Rendra continued to play with Teuku during the trip.
The baby dissolved in his own happiness even though today both his parents and brother will be buried. But the baby who knew nothing was laughing in the arms of the man who had attacked his family.
The vehicle finally arrived in Sagoe village. Many people are waiting for the body to arrive. Previously, Rendra had given orders to his men who were still serving there to inform the village head of the arrival of the body of the son of Mr. Teuku Salahuddin Nur.
The body has been taken down, the house of Abu has been prepared in advance by relatives who both live in one village. Even the relatives from the village next door were present.
The ground behind the house was already dug up, Abu asked to bury them in one burrow. Abu and some of my village fathers were preparing to bathe the bodies of Bang Ilham and his son. While Umi and several other mothers were preparing to bathe Rahmah's body.
Cut saw Ash for the first time shed tears. Abu could hardly continue, but Teuku Zul's words made Abu steadfast and continued. While Umi also shed her tears while bathing the body of her daughter-in-law. Umi must have remembered everything that happened while on the hill. A good woman's grace, she also served Umi very well.
He went with his beloved, as he said the other day. As long as he can be close to the bang Inspiration he is already happy. Now he is happy to be close to Bang Ilham until the end of his life. They even buried one burrow. He took his first child, Teuku Muhammad Zikri.
“Force us who have hidden the Inspiration of the fathers of all. I just don't want the path she chose to take to expose my family." Abu tried to explain the truth that Abu had been hiding to the villagers after the funeral was over.
"Already, Abu. Our parents can only pray. Sometimes children feel they are big and can make decisions at will. Though we elders first eat the salt acid of life." The Village Head.
"I heard that her baby son survived, is it true?"
"Cut, bring Teuku here!" Cut went inside but before stepping Rendra was already out while holding Teuku.
Rendra sat down near Abu. Cut sat down near Umi. Cut felt their gazes at Rendra were very unfriendly. And Rendra also seemed to understand but he seemed to ignore them.
"What's his name?" Ask Teungku Zul.
"Teuku Rendra Muhammad Nur." Rendra replied quickly even faster than Cut.
"Rendra???" Teungku Zul looked towards Cut and Abu.
Again Rendra immediately answered Teungku Zul's question. "Rendra means cerdar, clever. Later he will grow up to be a smart and intelligent child like the Prophet Muhammad." Obviously Rendra made Teungku Zul and the others understand.
Finally, the youngest son of Pang Sagoe actually bears the name of the person who has made his family gone. Teuku Rendra Muhammad Nur's.
