...🌱Ji🌱...

A month later, the bombing happened again. This time the explosion echoed from the direction of the Jogja airport administration office. The suspected backpack containing the bomb was found in one of the trash cans in the office lobby. Obviously not just a topsy-turvy cop. The TNI finally also intervened to handle it. This time the victims were quite numerous. There were 3 people with severe burns and some with minor injuries were rushed directly to the TNI-AU hospital. When Cece and his team arrived at the location, the team from the TNI had already combed the location and found 2 other backpacks that did not explode.

As before, the bomb was defused. However, the alert condition is not lowered. Many flights were delayed and even some planes that were ready to land were forced to divert to YIA. Ratna had heard the news. His steps stopped when he heard the voice of Cece being interviewed by reporters heard from television in the hospital lobby.

"Why Na?" ask Ela.

"Don't you know that cop?" Nita asked.

"obvious. He is in the same division as my husband, replied Ratna.

"O Allah, when only a while ago there was an incident and this has happened again? Jogja was even re-appointed vigilant. There are police everywhere, vehicle checks, public place security, hopefully things will improve soon" Ela said.

"Aamiin.." answered Nita.

Ratna was silent. She suspects that the bombing may have something to do with the case being investigated by her husband. Tama may not have told her details, but Ratna knows her husband is investigating a separatist group whose base is in Jogja.

...***...

Tama was able to return home that day but she returned home in a patrol car. He parked it in front of Mr. RW's house which was several houses away from his own residence. When he came home earlier, he saw a joint police team conducting a vehicle raid at the crossroads. Ratna also did not escape the examination. In addition to checking his letters he also checked the contents of his motorcycle seat.

Ratna understands the situation is not conducive so it is natural that the police conduct a thorough examination. Mr. Kapolda even asked for help from the police around Jogja to immediately report if he found a suspicious person.

A few days later, her husband came to her house. He removed his bulletproof vest and gun on the front sofa to keep from being played by Aksa. Behind him was a man who followed. As soon as he entered he immediately held Aksa, kissed her and hugged his wife.

"This time Father is not permission to work out of Mother's territory, but in his own territory. Dad took the time to stop by because I had to keep your permission," Tama told Ratna.

Not far from them standing, Bayu also hugged his wife. He not only kissed Uli but also continued to stroke Uli's belly which began to look big, "the branch should be a task. You are fine with Bu Aji here yes," said Bayu.

"Yes Bang, Brother be careful. Quickly complete your task bang, so that the three of us can gather together again," said Uli.

Ratna heard him smile. She has not yet answered her husband's words.

Ratna and Uli accompanied their husbands to wear more equipment. As soon as her husband was ready, Ratna spoke again, "this is your job. Finish it immediately, this is an order."

Tama smiled. Both Tama and Bayu both stood before their wives, spacing out the later with perfect demeanor both respecting exactly as they always saluted the commander. Ratna replied with a smile, but Uli cried when he answered the tribute. As soon as Ratna and Uli's hands went down, Tama and Bayu turned right and went back inside the patrol car. Ratna lifted Aksa into her carriage and then invited her son to wave and salute to Father who was about to leave for duty.

"Take care of yourself Mas, I will wait for you," said Ratna.

...***...

The bombing case not only stopped there, this time the backpack suspected of containing the bomb was located in a black car. The car was parked on the side of the road close to a minimarket. The car owner found the suspicious bag there. He immediately stepped away and asked the people around him to stay away as well. But not until the owner stepped up, the bomb had exploded.

The owner of the car became the victim with the most severe injuries and eventually died before even reaching the hospital. Mapolda was shocked to find out who owned the car. He was known as Mahendra. Commander Satbrimobda who became the Suri tauladan for all its members. People who are known to be polite, kind, have a high family spirit, and friendly. As long as he was in leadership, there had never been any complaints about him. Even since he was still in education, he has become an example for his classmates and juniors.

Instantly the official house occupied by commander Hendra was crowded with mourners. Not only the police officers who came but also the bhayangkari mothers attended and helped prepare all the needs for the funeral ceremony. Ms. Hendra, or familiarly called Maak Sanas by the mothers of these bhayangkari looks so hard to accept the mourners who were present with her daughter.

"Keke, your brother have you told me, haven't you?" ask Ma'am Sanas to his youngest child.

"Already Ma, Brother is trying to ask permission and will be home soon."

That night all the neighbors and many of Commander Hendra's men were guarding the house. The police who came kept changing because they had to keep carrying out security throughout the location. Even the alert status has now been raised to alert. All communities with no interests were forced to remain at home after 10 a.m. The entire public area must also be clear and sterile from 9 and police will continue to patrol for a full 24 hours.

The funeral ceremony of Commander Hendra was led by Mr. Kapolda himself while carrying his casket is Bang Rendi, Bang Novan, Bang Chandra, Bang Nanda, Bang Cece, and Tama. The funeral ceremony was so solemn. After the police ceremony was over and the clergy led the coffin prayer slowly down to the burrow. The officers who became the favorite of Commander Hendra during his life began to shed tears. They remembered how pleasant the day they had spent with their commander.

Finish the funeral. They all returned to the funeral home to wash their feet and hands. Sobs filled the funeral home again. Keke collapsed at the funeral and was forced to go home with his brother. Once the members got back to the funeral home, Madam Sanas who was so strong immediately brought them drinking water. Madam Sanas even appeared in front and once again apologized for the times her husband once had wrong on his members.

"Mbak Sanas, don't be this dong. We who can't see it. If Mbak wants to cry, just cry Mbak do not be detained" said Bu Novan who is a friend of Mbak Sanas.

Ma'am Sanas shook his head, "i don't want to cry. From the beginning of marriage I have prepared myself to face this day. He was a loyal servant of the state until his last breath. I am proud of my husband. The task here is over, now I just finish my task to finish the children and wait for the time to catch up with him in Heaven" said Madam Sanas.

Ratna was the first to shed her tears. He was the least resistant to this kind of condition. When she had to see for herself how these great bhayangkari-bhayangkari had to suffer the wounds of losing her husband. He's the weakest. True indeed Madam Sanas said, but not as strong as our hearts are determined, if that day comes it will collapse also the defensive wall? But Madam Sanas can be so great at keeping her walls solid. For the children he said.

Yes, more than one of their wives is a mother. If only her husband had gone, let him go quietly to enjoy his heaven in return for his bhakti in life. Starting from that point the struggle of a bhayangkari will be tested with real. How they should survive for the sake of children, for the sake of the next generation of the nation. As a person who will continue the bhakti of both parents.
