Sabil saw the shock in Meiling's eyes, he immediately felt that the girl also recognized him, the atmosphere instantly became stiff, Meiling no longer being friendly with her husband, she kept the feeling of Sabil.
There are many things he wants to tell the man who first conquered his heart, since the departure of Sabil, he often got alerted from the Japanese military, he said, the Japanese officers who became his backers had moved back to their country since Japan surrendered in the East Asian war.
Even after the independence of the inn he had also not escaped the local gangs and oppression of criminals, let alone she was a beautiful and narrow-eyed girl.
Meiling had no family, she was scattered in Batavia, of course as a weak girl she needed a strong backrest, the arrival of Sabil gave her great hope, but that hope is dashed when Sabil goes to Tokyo to avenge him.
Although he had promised to wait for each other but Meiling could not bear the intimidation he constantly received, he finally met a native businessman who loved him sincerely and willingly protected him.
He felt a dilemma whether to continue waiting for Sabil who had no certainty when to return, or received a proposal from this native businessman, finally he took the second choice and sold his inn, he said, he decided to return to his native China.
Meiling a kind and honest girl, before marrying her husband Farhan, she told him everything that she was no longer holy and was waiting for the return of her lover.
Farhan could understand Meiling's condition, it was taboo in Batavia if he had a wife who was no longer holy, but he sincerely loved Meiling from the first time he saw her, he did not urge the girl he only provided an alternative to Meiling in living her life.
Farhan even promised to give Meiling space and time if she met her lover, Artinyan Farhan gave Meiling a chance to talk and explain everything that had happened.
Meiling was distressed, she did not like being in this kind of atmosphere, immediately she whispered to her husband and pointed towards Sabil, Farhan who saw Sabil then cuddled to Meiling, and then looked at Meiling, gave a sign that his wife could meet the young man to talk and explain everything.
Although her heart raged but Sabil's face seemed calm, she saw Meiling whispering to her husband and pointing at her, what they were talking about but Sabil did not want to know, he would not want to be a prankster in someone else's household, and finally Sabil decided to go out of the restaurant.
But as soon as he was about to leave a soft voice stopped his steps "where to go, we haven't seen each other in a long time, sit down we need to talk to each other" yes it was Meiling who came to his desk and told him to sit back.
Sabil looked at Meiling with a complicated look, although he missed this girl but he also respected the existence of Meiling's husband, Sabil was not an immoral and greedy man.
After being stunned for a moment she decided to sit back while looking at Meiling's husband and politely nodded, Meiling shifted one of the chairs sitting opposite in front of Sabil.
" How have you been all this time, when and where are you staying now ? " meiling asked a little berpubi out of curiosity, he saw that Sabil's face was still the same as once very handsome and sweet-eyed, it felt like he wanted to hug this man.
Sabil's lips curled a beautiful smile at the question he knew there was still a feeling left in the girl's heart for him, seeing that beautiful smile made Meiling's heart tremble, she said, that smile used to be mine no matter who the other lucky woman got it.
" I am fine, revenge has been avenged, I have arrived for two days and stayed at your former inn "Sabil replied calmly.
" I'm sorry.." said Meiling with glassy eyes, she knew Sabil's coming for her, fulfilled the promise she had made, in this case Meiling felt amazed by the figure of this man who was committed to his promise.
" It's okay that I can understand, you don't need to feel grounded, a soul mate is in the hands of our Lord man can only try "Sabil said wisely, saying, actually she could feel what situation Meiling was in by looking at the girl's husband, maybe she needed protection, while herself was far away from this girl.
If he says guilty then Sabil considers himself guilty, how all this time he did not think about the safety of the girl he was busy with his revenge, but if time could be replayed he would definitely do the same, fulfilling the responsibility of revenge.
" Well, if there's nothing else to talk about I say back to the inn" Sabil stood up and stepped out of the restaurant, before leaving he still had time to cuddle politely to Meiling's husband as if to say thank you for the time you have given, Farhan also replied to Sabil's anguish, he felt that Sabil was an honorable man and deserved to be appreciated.
Meiling saw Sabil's pungung who had already moved away from the restaurant she took a breath, wiped her tears and returned to her husband's desk, she did not want Farhan to be mistaken with tears on her face.
Although Sabil walked gallantly, in fact his heart was broken, he loved the girl with a sincere feeling, the rain began to fall specks wet the earth as if crying over the wounds of a bloodless heart.
Tonight was a very long night for Sabil, he could not sleep, even though he had given up everything that happened, lying if he said he felt sick and not hurt.
Sabil already has plans to return to his village tomorrow, see his family's grave and continue to return to Paris, probably will settle there because he already has a job and there is also Caroline, who is also there, he's going to make a commitment to marry that girl.
The next day Sabil was already in Tanjung Priok Port, he wanted to return to his village West Java, West Java, but he was informed that the situation there was quite dangerous because there was a resistance movement from the community in the government in Jakarta, and was known as the DI/TII rebellion.
The emergence of the DI/TII movement in West Java and Java began with a change in the political situation in the Tegal-Brebes area due to the signing of the Renville Agreement.
In the agreement mentioned one article that contains that all Indonesian forces located in the occupied Netherlands must be withdrawn and placed in the RI area.
The Pekalongan residency area included the Dutch occupation area, so Indonesian forces had to leave and vacate the area.
However, despite this, apparently not all troops left their areas, such as in Brebes and Tegal.
The fighters in the two regions are still holding out and strategizing for resistance.
They conducted military operations by forming the Interreja Movement of the Republic of Indonesia (GARI) and Guerrilla of the Republic of Indonesia (GRI).
The formation of these two movements triggered the emergence of other movements that resulted in revolts in Central Java.
Before the DI/TII rebellion under the leadership of Amir Fatah in Central Java had already appeared a similar movement led by Abas Abdullah.
The force led by Abas was named Hezbollah Forces, where at that time they decided to go to the disputed territory of Indonesia-Netherlands, namely Brebes.
Until there, this force formed a new army called the Mujahideen called the Islamic Assembly (MI).
Not only Hezbollah forces, Amir Fatah was also in the midst of Brebes, his interest to later join the rebellion was because he felt he had the same viewpoint and ideology, especially in forming the Islamic State of Indonesia.
Finally on August 23, 1949, Amir and his friends decided to join NII spearheaded by Kartosoewirjo.
Since then, Amir Fatah and his group carried out attacks against the TNI and several villages, such as the villages of Rokeh Djati and Pagebarang
