Sibungsu (Samurai stabbed)
Order for Saburo

The report was put into the storage of the most confidential documents by Colonel Fujiyama. Colonel Fujiyama is known as a strong Senior Officer in the very conventional Japanese Military tradition. To him, a soldier is a soldier. A soldier fighting for his country. Not for personal self. A soldier is only hostile to soldiers from a country that is against the Japanese state. The opponents of the Japanese army are only the soldiers of the country, or the spies of soldiers who come from civilians. A soldier of the Kingdom of Tenno Haika is unworthy of committing atrocities against civilians. The colonel is famous for this attitude. He is a devout Buddhist.

As Dai Tai Cho, Commander of the Division and Commander of the Japanese Army on the island of Sumatra, he was entitled to take very principled decisions. And that's what he did. That is by ordering Eraito, a failed major for Harakiri.

Now he takes the second step in the affairs of this Bungsu event. He ordered Saburo, who was then Syo Sha (Major) and served as Bu Tei Cho (Batalyon Commander) in Batu Cage, to come to face him at Headquarters.

When Saburo Matsuyama arrives he is forced by Fujiyama to ask for retirement. He was then forced to return to Japan. This decision shocked Japanese officers. Because Saburo is known as a deft officer. But that is Fujiyama's verdict.

"I have confidence, if you are still in this country, you will meet a young man with the name of the Bungsu. And if you meet, a fight is inevitable. I can't guess how the boy fought, but I have a feeling you're going to die at his hands. Therefore go home to your village Syo Sha. There you will be safe. Safe from the act of raping a child. But I feel certain that this young man will pursue you wherever you go .."

As soon as Colonel Fujiyama said to Saburo, Saburo pensively.

"Do you have children?"

"There's a Colonel .."

"How many people?"

"One, and woman .."

"Where is he now?"

"In Nagoya. Just sixteen .."

"In religion there is a teaching, that everyone will receive the recompense of his deeds. I'm afraid that one day your son will meet this young man. And if he takes revenge on her, can you imagine what Saburo will do? I'm not scaring you. Pray for the young man to forget. Well good-bye..!"

These words still ring in Saburo's ears on his way to Singapore to continue returning to Japan. His son is a very beautiful girl. Who had the death of the mother when the child was ten years old. He was pictured in the murder he committed at Situjuh Ladang Laweh. To the girl he raped in the customary house. To his father and mother whom he killed. On the murder of the girl herself after she was raped. And to his cowardly son. Now it turns out that his son is hunting him with the samurai in hand. With Samurai. Oh my God, suddenly Saburo Matsuyama was upended. His entire body was on goosebumps. The young man looked for him with a samurai. And according to Fujiyama's story, the young man was very shrewd and tough to use his samurai. He immediately remembered the oath of Datuk Berbangsa shortly before dying first.

Just then a samurai stuck it in the Datuk's chest.

"I will avenge your actions Saburo. You will not survive. I swear to kill you with the samurai of your own country. You remember it's fine–baik.."

The voice was like a echo. Minangkabau man was indeed hunting him through his biological son. He used to think of these mystical things as nonsensical. But now the young man is looking for him with the samurai. Isn't that an embodiment of the grandfather's oath? Saburo started to be chased by the shadows. He had heard a lot about the Minangkabau people. But as long as he was in the land, none of that devotion was proved. Reportedly Minang people can make other people crazy, senewen climbing the wall, his name is sijundai. But he and his troops who have done too much in the country, why is none of the magic that works for them?

There is a dangerous secret weapon. It can kill people from a distance. It is said to be called Gayung, Tinggam or Permayo. But why was not one of the Japanese forces hit by the secret weapon? Or is it just for Minang fellow people? Saburo is a practical person who does not believe in all kinds of mystical forms. But this time, against the oath of the Grandfather who had died more than two years ago, why should he be afraid? He wants to go back to his village in Japan. He wants to have fun stuff two months in Singapore.

Thus the verdict he took in the ship when sailing from Dumai to Singapore.

Where's the Bungsu? Why could he vanish from the room where he slaughtered the Japanese soldiers and that fat Babah eyes? Though the house had been tightly surrounded by Kempetai. In addition, he suffered injuries to various parts of his body in a fight against the Babah. Where did he escape to be without each other?

That night, the Bungsu never left Babah's house. Even the next day he was still in the house. But why is Kempetai unknown? Why is it unknown to the prostitute woman who lives in the house

That night, when he finished killing the two Japanese officers who were the last people in the room, the big door he locked with the big cross was almost knocked down by Kempetai in a reo truck. The voice of reo had been heard by him entering the house. Even the reo was already in the front room. He has to save himself. But he knew that this room had been tightly surrounded. But how he also survived. Must stay alive until his revenge on Saburo is avenged. With a limp leg he immediately looked for a way to save himself. He's not heading back. Except to the side.

Just three steps he walked, he was stunned. In front of him stood a woman. It was a Chinese girl. At once he could guess, this girl was at most only sixteen or seventeen years old. Beautiful girl seductive body. The yellow-haired girl only wore a towel on her body. He seems to have been standing there since. And the youngest can confirm that this girl saw all the fights that took place in the room. He must have seen the massacre. They looked. The door starts to break.

"Come in here .."

Suddenly the girl pulled the hands of the Bungsu into her room. The Bungsu is like a buffalo that shakes his nose. He said, because there is no other way. By being in this girl's room, she hoped to survive. Or he could take this girl hostage. The girl's room was clean and smelled good.

"Come in".." The girl said again as she opened a valve on the floor.

Without much snout, the Bungsu approached. Under that gaping floor, he saw a small room.

"Come in quickly .." the girl said again. The Bungsu no longer had time to think. He complied and started down the stairs. He came into a small, dark room.

The girl then closed the floor she had raised earlier. Then fix the mat on it. Then take the cloth and start to wipe the blood marks scattered on the floor from the scars on the body of the Bungsu. His work had just been completed when the door was successfully broken down by a Japanese army reo truck. His room was searched. Wardrobe, under the bed, attic. The Bungsu heard the clattering of shoes. The stampede was then passed over his head. He waited silently in the darkness in this unfamiliar space. Japanese soldiers are still in the house. For a few hours had passed, but the girl had not yet appeared. The Bungsu did not dare to go up. He's still waiting. With a palpable feel he lay on the floor that felt on the pedestal with a clean mat. He woke up shocked when he felt an object fall on his stomach. Then the door on the floor closed again. He felt in the dark. The one that was dropped was a package. In the dark he opened the package. Fingered. Bananas, ah, his stomach is really hungry. Soon four bananas disappeared into his stomach.

Then he checked the other package. A small flashlight. With that flashlight he could examine with the contents of the package. There's bandages and plaster. There's a red drug.

He was very grateful to the Chinese girl he did not know yet. Is she one of the prostitutes kept in this house? the medicine he didn't really need. Because to treat his wounds, he still had the potion powder that he brought from Mount Sago, the medicine was very effective. It was the medicine that healed from the wounds of the samurai Captain Saburo. And the traditional medicine also heals the scar scratched tiger so-genesis when the last month he will go down the mountain. He picked up a potion consisting of bark and wood leaves, stone moss, tree lichen and dried leaves of the melata plant which he always kept in his pouch, in a cigarette chopsticks of enau leaves, and in his pouch, which used to contain enau leaf cigarettes. The potion he sowed on the wounds all over his body. By causing a chill the wound quickly dries, docking it quickly dries out. With a small flashlight that the girl dropped, the Bungsu started to inspect the room where she was. This room is a room in the basement. It is made to deal with emergencies, such as Chinese-derived houses. The difference is that if the basement in other Chinese houses is used to store food or water, then this basement is used as a living room.

Not far from where he slept on the floor was a bed. If only he had moved in the dark it was a little four steps to the right, then he would have encountered that soft bed. But whichever way he would have thought of it. Near the bed, on the side of his head was a glass cabinet. In it the Bungsu got three pistols and two long beds. Complete with gunpowder. This basement seems to be made into a kind of fortress by the fat Babah He did not touch the weapon. Besides not understanding how to wear it, also considers it useless to carry. A gun or gun makes a sound when it kills people. He prefers to wear samurai. With a samurai he could act silently.

Tired of lying in bed. He did not know how long he had been asleep when he woke up again. There was someone felt present in that concrete-walled room underground. He opened his eyes and tried to get up. But a delicate hand held him. In the light of the wall lamp that had been installed, he saw the Chinese girl who had saved him. The girl sat on the edge of the bed. Look at him with a soft look.

"Lay ..your wounds have not healed .." her voice sounded soft.

The language sounded clean. The Bungsu sat down. The girl looked into his eyes.

"Thank you, lady, you saved my life. Has Japan gone ?"

"It has. But this house they keep an eye on. The house is closed to prostitutes. You are certainly hungry. You've been in this hole for two days"

".. Two days …?"

"Yes. You came in here at midnight. Now the second day is almost afternoon, I bring food with fish gulai, sambal lado and petai. Love sambal lado and petai?"

The Bungsu doesn't talk much. He eats with gourmand. The girl had not eaten either. They eat together.

"You cooked this food?" he asked after he finished eating, adding up to three times.

"How, yummy ?"

"The cook etek Munah, our maid …"

The Bungsu then remembered, that he had to leave this house immediately. His body though not fresh, but he felt it was strong to continue the journey.

"What's your name ..?"

"May-may…"

"May may ?"

"Yes, and your name ?"

"Young …"

"Daddy ? You're the smallest kid in your family ?"

"Yes. May-may.. Thank you for your help. I can't pay it back. I have to go now."

"Where are you going?" The pensive Bungsu.

Yeah, where's he going ? There was never a certain place he went on every trip. But, isn't he looking for Saburo ? this memory makes her want to ask Mei-mei. Isn't this place a place of gambling and a place of fun for the officers ?

"I'm looking for a Japanese officer named Saburo. Do you recognize him Mei-mei ?"

"Saburo.... Saburo Matsuyama ?"

"Yes. Saburo Matsuyama Do you know him?"

"I know almost all the officers who served in Payakumbuh's"

"Where is he now ?"

"Look, he hasn't been here long enough. Reportedly he moved to Batusangkar…"

"People…?"

"Yes ..you will go there, take your revenge on him ?"

"Yes. How do you know Mei-mei ?"

"I saw your whole fight with Japan and with Father two days ago also heard all the talk at that time…"

"Mr ?" The Bungsu was astonished to hear the words of the Father spoken by Mei-mei.

"Yes. That fat Babah is my stepdad …"

The Bungsu until upheld hearing Mei-mei's confession. He could hardly believe that the Babah he had broken up with was the girl's stepfather. Didn't he see that he had thwarted the Babah ? So why did this girl help him from the clutches of Japan? Mei-mei looks at.

"Your father ..?"

The Bungsu asked slowly "Sit down Bungsu. He's my stepfather. I saw you clenching his body like in a slaughterhouse. But you don't have to regret. He should get such treatment. For what he did to your people and to me .."

the Bungsu did not understand what Mei-mei meant.

"He became the eyes of the Dutch. The eyes of Japan. And more than that he is a Communist .."

"Communist ..?" the Bungsu did not understand.

As an innocent village boy he never heard of communists. The name is very foreign to the ears of the village boy Situjuh Ladang Laweh on the waist of Mount Sago.

"Yes, communists. You don't know ..?" The girl then got up. "Come on me .."

The Bungsu followed the girl, who was carrying a wall lamp and walked into an alley. This underground pit seemed to be quite large. They reached another room larger than the first. Inside the room the walls were covered in red cloth. In the middle, in front of a table, there was a large-sized Chinese picture. Below it was a red flag with a yellow image in the center.

"That's a picture of the Chinese communist leadership. Mao TseTung's. And the flag with the hammer and sickle image is the symbol of the communists.." Mei-mei explained.

The Bungsu just stared at me with a gawk. Staring at the big flag with the picture of the hammer and sickle. He really doesn't understand. Mei-mei smiled seeing her confusion. He was sitting in a chair, the Bungsu was sitting in front of him. The Bungsu is still dominated by his hermit feelings. Why did this girl help him, when her father killed her. In front of his eyes.

"About the Babah you killed, he deserved such a punishment. He poisoned my father. Married my mother when she was pregnant. Six months after they married, I was born. He needed money to finance the Communist Party in this country. And he also needed influence and rank to rule. For both purposes, he used my body. I am helpless against. He's a cruel stepfather. He likes to beat and torture people. My mother died because she was locked up for six days without being fed. It happened when I was eight. Mom was locked up and died in this room …"

The Chinese girl then cried sobbing considering her bitter life path. The Bungsu could only speak slowly. The girl cried for a long time, until finally the youngest held her shoulder.

"Calm Mei-mei. I think your mother's spirit has calmed down in the afterlife. I have avenged her"

"Yes, my mother's grudge and my grudge have Koko avenged. Thank ye. That's why I had to save Koko from Kempetai's hand two days ago…"

The Bungsu was moved. The girl called him Koko. The term means brother in Indonesian. The name of the younger sister is Moy-moy. He learned that from some of his Chinese friends who became his friends in recent months. Although this girl had been stained with her life, it was not of her own accord. He holds Mei-mei's shoulder, and says softly :

"Calm Moy-moy. I'll protect you from people who intend to bother you"

Mei-mei was silent. This beautiful Chinese girl, who had a round-nosed face with shiny black eyes, could hardly believe that the young man she called Koko called back called her Moy-moy. And when he was sure that the young man had said so, he stood up and they embraced.

"Thank you Koko, thank you .." sobbed.
