Pang Sagoe, Make me your Wife!!!
Gone...

It was getting dark and the sound of the bedding could no longer be heard. Some soldiers passed through the rice fields and saw us and they said, “Go home!” we got up and ran towards the house. My steps stopped when I found my house filled with many people. There were also soldiers and the crying sounds of some little children who were friends of the game Dawn my heart was not good.

“Rahmah, your sister!” the voice of one of the abouta.

“You must be strong, Rahmah. Dawn has returned to the power of.”

Degs…

I entered the house and saw my brother's body stiffened. The long cloth of the body cover looks wet with blood that has not dried.

“Mac, Father,” call me sitting near the body of Dawn. My tears seemed to want to come out.

“Your sister's been shot. He was playing near the post when we were attacked.” Heru Say. Apparently he was there too.

I hugged my sister crying until the elders came to calm me down. “Don't make her hurt because of your crying. Look at his face, he is smiling and calm. The children did not seem to have sin until what he saw at his death was heaven. That's why he smiled, please allow him to calm down leaving us.” The elder's advice left me speechless but my tears remained unbearable.

My father decided to bury the body of Dawn tomorrow because the sky was dark and some residents were still frightened after the war that occurred this afternoon. Last night I did not sleep, after the body of Dawn was purified, we read the letter with the village elders. And the next day, exactly eight in the morning. The body of Dawn is buried behind my house. I want him to always be here, near all of us. Mom and Dad look as sad as I am. Losing a child when they were young is so sure to make them very lost. The child who is still indulging in all his diverse requests and questions has now gone to the divine.

For a week me and Raudhah sat pensively staring at my sister's pusara behind the house. Our tears just shed as the memories with him flashed through each other's minds. I can't blame anyone for this, either. The dawn is in the wrong place and time and maybe it is just a cause. A lot of them got hit by bullets but are still alive today but my brother? Maybe it was his death and was hit by a bullet just because. His other friends were also there when the attack took place but they were not hit by bullets. Just some injuries they got.

My sister is a good child even after one week she is gone, her friends still often come to her grave even they often play there as if playing with my sister.

The dawn in my family has dimmed and disappeared. This is seen from my family's life as gray as usual. My mother who used to be cheerful and even chatty tendrils now become quiet and often cry suddenly. My father still remains the same only he rarely burps because of the usual. Me and Raudah just stared at the day in silence and coercion. We lost then what do people want next? The joy that once emanated has vanished even when my father decided to leave secretly from the village to leave us. I don't know what happened but that afternoon, my father didn't come back after saying goodbye to us this morning on the pretext of looking for medicinal leaves.

“Where is Mr Mae?” ask a soldier.

After two days of my father's departure, the citizens became curious and the news of my father's departure reached the ears of the soldiers. They finally came to my house that morning.

“I don't know, Sir. Bang Mae said she wanted to go looking for medicinal leaves as usual but it's been two days yet to return.” My mother replied scared.

I looked hatefully at them myself. I don't know what's going on until I hate them, especially after Dawn's gone.

Without permission, they searched my house and the secret was exposed. The basement under my bed was finally found by the soldiers and after that we were taken to their post to be interrogated.

People's views look different. “Your father is cute huh?”

“Surely your father was a squawk!”

“Do not listen!” whispered mother walked beside me.

Once in the post, we were put in a different room. It seems that this post was built impromptu because the space we occupy does not look like a room but like their bedroom. An hour and a half later I heard the roar of the car and the sound of more shoes. I tried to peek but unfortunately this wall is lined with sandbags on the outside.

Some people came into my place. The man a little more mature than the others sat there then looked at me with a frightening look. “Say! Where'd your dad go?”

“T-don't know!”

“What are you guys hiding in the hole under your bed?”

“You've put people in there, haven't you?”

Degs…

“I'll get caught if I lie.”

“Jawab!!!”

The sound of that surprise me. “Did he get hurt when he came to your house?” I lowered my head while squeezing my fingers. I'm afraid that this man is very different from the soldiers who have been to my house.

Aaaaaaa

The screams from my sister and mother made me stare at them. “Don't torture my mother and sister! Pardon, Sir. Don't torture them!” I knelt in front of the man. I really can't afford to lose again.

The man smiled mockingly, “Say! If you want your sister and mother safe.”

“Who is that guy?”

“I don't know his name, Mr.”

“Long!” again he yelled at me.

“I warn you! My members do not have the patience to linger waiting for your answer. Now tell me who that man is!”

“I-ilham. His name is Ilham, Mr.”

The man's forehead frowned then, “Front him there and what happened to him?” I was so tired that I told them everything that happened in the basement except one. I didn't mention Pang Sagoe by name because I knew it would be long-tail for me and Bang Ilham.

“Dan, it could be Pang Sagoe's men.” Said one of the soldiers.

“Who's one more man's name?” ask again.

“I don't know, Sir. The man went straight away after two days there.”

“Tell me the features of the man! My members will draw according to what you say. If you lie, be prepared to lose your mother and sister!” the man came out and there lived some soldiers there including one of the soldiers who was assigned to draw.

While in the next room, I again heard my sister's scream. I was worried and afraid to think about his fate. He must be very scared over there. “Tell me the truth if you want your sister safe!” the threat came back from the mouth of the soldier watching me.

“That guy –“
