SIMULATION
COLONEL BREGO*

Colonel Brego, who earned the nickname the Lion Man because of his thick red hair, felt no objection where he instead thanked for his nickname, he became known in the Great Ruler.

"The war that took place about 30 years ago was terrible. Somalia, as you know, is on the African continent. I come from the Middle East because that's where I was born before I finally moved to Somalia because of the great war that took place in my birthplace. Neighboring countries joined forces against countries from other continents. Honestly, I've never seen such a brutal massacre in my entire life" Brego said with his eyes fixed on the bonfire before him.

Everyone listened seriously.

"Sorry, Colonel. How did you and the refugees escape the war and finally arrive at the Great Ruler?" sandra asked, asking.

Everyone was curious about the gripping story as if they were there.

"I was trusted by my leader to protect his family members in the bunker under the palace, including family members from other government officials. However, after the battle that took place one day last night, our troops were pushed out. Finally, I was asked to evacuate those people secretly. My leader promised to protect us out of the battlefield. Finally, I left my country" Brego replied with a downcast look reminiscent of the tragic story of his life.

"How many refugees did you bring back then, Colonel?" asked Sam curiously.

"250 people. But .. I failed. One by one of them fell during a trip where every country we visited refused to accept us because their lives were also difficult. We continued to walk from one region to another like homeless people, until finally ... our number was getting smaller," he replied sadly despite no tears visible there.

"Colonel Brego managed to bring 37 people to Great Ruler. It was a fortune to him because back then, Roman had just taken over as his father, my grandfather meant. The colonel and his entourage are welcome to stay outside the fort. They set up tents there. Well, that's the story I heard from my uncle. Is that true, Colonel?" matteo asked looking at him carefully.

Brego nodded with a smile.

"Yes. Roman became interested in the activities we were doing outside the fort. He was curious about the color of my hair that had not faded since I set foot in the Great Ruler region. Secretly, Roman spied on me. He saw me adapting and fighting when there were wild animals trying to eat people outside the fort. The other refugees then made me their chairman. I actually objected, but they believed me. So ... I accepted the honor of being a sort of ... chieftain," he replied in a jest.

Everyone smiles because Brego can take his difficult life well.

"Then ... how did you get into the Great Ruler?" ask Baden curiously.

"As I said. Roman's watching. Then as more and more refugees filled the outer Great Ruler fortress, Roman called out to me. I panicked at that moment. I was worried that if my group would be expelled, while we already felt comfortable living outside the fortress. For the first time, out of the 300 people living outside the fortress, I was the only one allowed to enter the Great Ruler. I wept. Don't laugh at me" he said threateningly, but everyone had already chuckled at even Sandra.

"Wow! That must be .. very moving," Sandra and Brego said nodding confirming.

"I lived for two years outside the fortress. Suddenly, I was brought in. I was like a village when I saw District 9. I took off my shoes and let my smelly feet run on the green grass. I even rolled in the savannah happily. I've been like a madman" he replied in spirit.

Back, people laughed and instead imagined the excitement of Brego back then. Matteo even laughed loudly. Brego looks shameless telling his stupidity.

"That's where I met Roman and Lala for the first time. They welcomed me well. I was invited to a building that was still in the development stage. Hem, Green Eco building. At that time, there was only 1 building that was successfully made, but it has made me look at it because I have never seen a building so beautiful and sophisticated in my lifetime. I'm back to crying."

"Haha!" Back, everyone laughed because Brego's expression was so funny and so adept at telling stories that everyone got carried away.

"Then .. I was invited to sit in a very modern room. I really can't forget that. The first time, I felt like a useful and expected person. You know, for years I and my party have walked through two continents to get a place to live. We were rejected because we were considered vagabonds, carriers of disease, bearers of misfortune and other bad blasphemies. However, Roman said if ... Great Ruler needs someone like me. He said, I bring good things for the progress of this country. I ... crying."

Now, there's no laughter. Brego shed tears as he expressed his feelings. Everyone was moved and felt to feel the happiness that Brego felt.

"I'm so grateful for that opportunity. But there is an agreement on that. I was asked to be in charge of District 10, the gathering place for refugees. Roman said he would build a fortress to protect us. District 10, would be one part of the Great Ruler, just unofficial. For me, that's more than enough. Finally, I mobilized all the residents outside the fort to help make the wall. Everyone is working hard and happy. Finally, District 10 was formed and ... we felt security during our life inside without the onslaught of the beasts that were eyeing our lives every day," Brego explained the origin of District 10.

"Surely you can't sleep well for 2 years living outside the castle, Colonel," said Cendric sadly.

"Yes. But that is life. In these difficult times, we don't have much choice. The strong hold on, the weak will end horribly" he replied seriously. Everyone is silent.

"Then ... You're the leader of District 10?" sandra looked at Brego.

"Yes. I was given the post of Colonel. I was given a place to stay. You know, right, the building where the selection of prospective refugees will enter the Great Ruler?" brego looked at everyone.

The candidates nodded. Sandra recalled the moment she first saw the grown Vemo when the man went on a rampage for failing selection.

"I live there with 10 people who are considered worthy and able to work to manage the District. But .. Sorry General Matteo if this offends you," said Brego glanced at the General.

Matteo was welcoming and seemed to have no problem with the next conversation.

"yeah. Unfortunately, Morlan disagrees with all of Roman's plans. Finally, I made some offers and deals with Morlan that were eventually approved by the father of our General, Matteo" he said.

"What's that?" matteo asked curiously until his forehead wrinkled.

Matteo looked down depressed because of his father's attitude that complicates things. All candidates are silent.

"But not all decisions are bad. Behold, the citizens of District 10 were able to survive for decades with the system implemented by Morlan. Seeing the difficulty of living in this age of warfare, for me. Morlan's decision was right. Not everyone can stay in Great Ruler so that new people do not destroy the system that has been formed with difficulty from the predecessors. We have to respect him. Therefore, I was very sorry when Morlan was expelled from Great Ruler. He is great, it's just .. his decision is very risky because it can cause death," Brego added.

"You mean ... because Morlan created a mutant?" ben and Brego asked slowly.

"I know Morlan's intentions well. Only, he was too rushed and did so without involving many parties so that his business was considered illegal. If Morlan had been more open, I'm pretty sure, it wouldn't have ended badly like this" Brego said.

Matteo pensively looked blankly at the embers before him. It turned out, everyone was aware of the general's gloomy-looking behavior. The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

"Hoampf. Ouch. I haven't stayed up in a long time. Sorry, what if this chat, we continue next time? It's not good for us to linger outside. I again felt afraid when I remembered that there were ferocious animals that could have come to enjoy the pleasure of my body," said Brego, looking around nervously.

Practically, everyone's smile again developed because of the Colonel's funny behavior. Finally, everyone left the campfire area.

Brego water the coals until they are extinguished with pool water. The candidates re-entered the building and headed for their respective rooms.

"Oh! Where are you going, General? Your room is with me" asked Brego, because Matteo was following Sandra behind him.

"Oh. Okay," he replied embarrassedly and then turned his body and entered Brego's room quickly.

Sandra smiled faintly due to Matteo's mannerisms which for her were quite funny that day. Sandra slept in a room for herself.

Four other male friends had already slept with bunk beds. Sandra's mattress was wider and fit two people, but she wore it alone.

"Good night" said Sandra as she turned off the lights.

"Night, Otka," replied the men who had been lying in bed.

Sandra immediately broke down her tired body. Before long, he fell asleep, including the other male candidates who were in a group with him.

In Brego's room.

Matteo could not sleep well even though their mattresses were separated. As it turned out, Colonel Brego snored hard enough that Matteo covered both his ears with a pillow.

"Yes God. His snoring was more terrible than the mutants of my father's creation" grumbled Matteo who positioned his body on his stomach so as not to hear the roar of the lion man.

But Matteo could not stand it. He finally came out of the room without Spectra charging in Brego's room.

Matteo came out with a pillow, barefooted and wearing long pants and a white t-shirt as his sleeping pajamas. Secretly, Matteo went into the room where Sandra and her team were resting.

The general looked inside where the door of the room was not locked. Matteo smiled widely as Sandra's comrades slept quietly without a snoring sound. Matteo tried to find a comfortable place to sleep, but nothing.

Until finally, he found Sandra sleeping alone in her back position. Matteo looks hesitant, but Sandra's only bed is the only place she can sleep.

The blue man ventured to lay down his body slowly so as not to wake Sandra.

Matteo hugged his pillow as a bolster. He slept on Sandra's back, but instead made her heart flutter.

Eventually, Matteo changed his position. He now sleeps by staring at Sandra's back as a deliveryman. A faint smile was engraved on the General's face.

"Good night, Otka, and thank you for dinner" Matteo said softly and slowly closed his eyes.
