SECRET MAURA
The Julian 2 story
The commander ordered his soldiers to bury the body, which was known to be the father of the young man.
He did not think that his father had been dead and they did not know, which hurt him to die in a state of suffering.
Trying to put his family first, restraining his hunger. And fulfill his sense of responsibility as the head of the household.
Died in a state of hunger and acute hallucinations, hugging a stone thought to be his smallest child.
"I don't know at all, I should have been suspicious when he went to the forest to hunt. He asked me not to follow him, asking us to wait for him.
What should I do later, what should I tell my mother later. Now they are my responsibility.
I have to feed my family later" he said sobbing, the commander and the soldiers felt sorry for him.
They drove the young man home, and gave them some decent food and clothing.
There was a desire to take him and make him a soldier, but the young man was too thin and weak at all. Cannot be made a royal soldier.
As they were getting ready to continue the journey, the young man met them.
"What you're doing here, we don't have any more food" said the farmed soldier.
"I didn't come here to ask for food, and not to steal" the young man said clearly.
"What did you mean by coming here?" the soldier said suspiciously.
"I've come to see the commander!" he said out loud.
"What?! Haha! You're funny, you think it's easy to meet him. You don't visit well, just help her once she wants to be helped again!" said the soldier again.
"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, but I beg of you to let me meet him." The young man begged.
A group of soldiers came past them, they paused for a moment to pay attention to the conversation.
"What's this about? Why are there storms here?" ask one of the soldiers there.
"Look at this young man, he said he wanted to meet with the commander-in-chief. There are only his actions" said the fattened soldier.
The one being talked about came suddenly, the commander was about to look for something there and listen to their conversation.
Then he approached them all, and rebuked the farm soldier to be polite to anyone.
No matter who he is, while he is still being polite and kind, then respect him even if we are unable to grant his request.
"Young man, what do you want to come here? Tell me exactly what you came here for?" said the commander full of search.
"My lord, let the servant serve the kingdom. At least let me help you" the young man said straight to the point.
He knew there was no point in going stale with him, because the commander did not like people who talked in a row.
"I can't help you, there's no job that works for you. Everyone has their own duties here.
What I can give you, there is no place for you here" the commander said.
"Sir, let me come with you. Let me serve you. Let's just say this is a sign of my gratitude for your help during this time here" said the young man insisted.
"Do you have no pity to leave your mother and sisters alone in this remote village? And there's nothing here either.
Don't you think about their fate?" ask the commander again.
"They have evacuated to the next village, he said there are wealthy village officials there who want to accept the residents of this village.
They will be helped and given a job with enough income, sir" replied the young man.
He did not know that the officials from the village were on the orders of the commander and had been assisted also by the kingdom.
And why didn't the commander give direct assistance to the villagers directly? Because there is no place or fertile land anymore.
Dry land, wells and rivers almost dried up. There is nowhere else to start farming or farming and making fish farms.
"Keep, why don't you come with them?" ask the commander again.
"Because my mother and I are determined to repay the kindness of the Lord and the kingdom to us. And I'm pretty sure, if the late father was still alive he would have done the same" replied the young man, keeping his stance.
The commander and the other soldiers were greatly astonished by his persistence, even though his body was small and thin as if he had incredible loyalty.
"What do you think, do we just take him with us?" the commander asked the soldiers.
"I don't think it's wrong to accept it, sir. If he notices, he won't stop interrupting until we accept him.
While we don't have much time, we have to gather a lot of young men who have to become soldiers later.
What about the others if she agrees to come with us?" said one of the chief soldiers there.
All the soldiers nodded in agreement, and the commander also smiled in relief. Actually he also agreed, but must also listen to the opinions of other soldiers.
"All right, we'll take it. But you won't join the royal army, your condition won't allow." said the commander.
"It's okay, my lord. So I want a pelvic coolie, the important thing is to let me devote my life to you" said the young man looking very happy.
"Alright, you'll have me assigned to help the padlocked soldier. Help him with all his work, don't complain.
Coming with us is not easy, it could be in the middle of the road we are attacked by thieves, attacked by wild animals. You have to put up with everything" said the commander.
The young man was happy to be included in their journey, he did not care about his important work his goal to serve the commander was realized.
The name of the young man was Pangkur, a unique and meaningful name given by his parents.
Pangkur is now an orphan, he is the eldest of 6 children. He left his mother and younger siblings to devote themselves to the commander-in-chief or the kingdom later.
His mother agreed and instead he advised her to serve the commander, if not for her maybe they would have starved and did not know the fate of her husband.
Even though her husband was back in a lifeless state, at least she knew of his existence and reality.
