The sound of the television filled the family room. Elsa sat on the sofa uneasily, eyes fixed on a large plasma screen displaying ferocious wildfires. This news has graced television broadcasts over the past few days, and today the situation is getting worse.
"Love, how are you Tanto?" elsa asked Rudi, who was sitting next to her.
Rudi replied in a worried voice, "He told me earlier that they had been deployed to the red zone. The situation was bad, and their communication had been cut off since this morning."
Elsa clasped Rudi's hand. "We must pray for them to be saved, Rudi."
Meanwhile, across town, Tanto was at the fire station with his team. They were all wearing full extinguishing equipment and ready to be deployed to the battlefield against the raging flames. The blazing fire in the forest had destroyed hundreds of acres of land, and the hot weather and strong winds only worsened the situation.
A fire team, led by an experienced officer, was gathering around a large map mounted on the wall. The officer gave instructions seriously.
"We will be deployed to the red zone in the middle of the forest. We have to try to fence the fire from around here. The top priority is the safety of the team, so we have to communicate well."
Tanto listened seriously. He knows that this is a tough task, but he and his team are ready to deal with it. Firefighting is an emergency call that requires courage and cohesiveness.
After a brief briefing, the fire brigade team rushed towards the extinguishing vehicle. Sirens rang loudly as they left the post and headed towards the red zone that was darkened by smoke and embers.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Tanti was busy treating patients in the emergency room. As a surgeon, Tanti's work requires high concentration and accuracy. However, he could not shake the worry for his brother who was in the midst of danger.
Tanti's cell phone rang at the nurse's desk. He immediately picked it up and saw an incoming call from Tanto. His heart fluttered as he answered the phone.
"Tanto, what's going on there?" ask Tanti with an anxious tone.
Tanto replied in a gasping voice, "The situation is not good, Tanti. We've been deployed to the red zone. Our communications have been cut off since this morning. I just wanted to tell you, please pray for us."
Hold back tears. "Of course, Tanto. We will all pray for your safety. Come back safely."
After that brief conversation, Tanti returns to care for the patients in the hospital, but her mind remains divided between her work and the concerns for her brother. He can only hope for the best and pray for Tanto and his team to return safely from that dangerous red zone.
Fire vehicles stopped at the edge of the forest, just outside the red zone. Tanto and his team immediately got out of the vehicle, wearing full extinguishing equipment. Their faces looked tense, but a spirit of togetherness emanated from every movement.
Fire officials led a brief discussion before they entered the red zone. "Remember, we have to work well together. Our first priority is our safety. If the situation is too dangerous, we will retreat. Don't you dare."
Tanto looked at his colleagues, all of whom were people who had worked together under various harsh conditions. They are a solid team, and he knows that they can count on each other.
When they entered the red zone, the towering flames and the rising temperature made the air feel hot. The thick smoke made visibility very limited, but Tanto and his team continued to move forward with caution. Fire extinguishers are ready to use at any time.
While in the middle of the red zone, the fire department team began to work. They use extinguishers to create fire roads, extinguish blazes, and keep themselves from being trapped by changes in wind direction that could bring fire.
Tanto felt anxious, but he knew that this was part of his task. He must remain calm and focused to keep his team safe and put out the fire as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, at Tanto and Tanti's family home, Tanti receives a mysterious package that comes in the mail. The package contains old pictures of his family, including photographs of Tanto and Tanti as a child, photos of their parents, and other memorable images.
Rudi and Elsa enter the room and see Tanti who is checking the contents of the package. Elsa asked curiously, "What's up, Tanti? Who's sender?"
Tanti shook her head. "I don't know, Mom. It's a mysterious package. No name or message attached to it. It's just old pictures of our family."
Rudi examined the photos in astonishment. "This is weird. But it looks like the photos remind us of the beautiful memories, doesn't it?"
Elsa agrees. "Yes, right. Though mysterious, but it seems like this is someone's way of reminding us of our strong family relationships."
Tanti was still feeling confused, but she also felt warm looking at those memorable photos. "Maybe you're right. But I don't know who can do this."
They all sat together and reminisced about the wonderful memories of the past. Although the mysterious package is still a mystery, their families feel closer to each other in the moment.
Inside the quiet house, there was an unspoken tension. Elsa and Rudi sit in the living room, their eyes fixed on the television featuring the latest reports of wildfires in the red zone. Any news of firefighters getting caught in a fire makes them even more anxious.
Elsa clasped Rudi's hand tightly, her face full of worry. "We have to think positively, baby. Tanto is strong and experienced. He'll be fine."
Rudi nodded, but his expression remained worried. "I know, but it feels so hard to wait like this. I just want to hear from him."
Meanwhile, Tanti sits next to the dining table, trying to find out more about the old photos in the mysterious package she received. He contacted relatives of his family, asking if they knew about the origin of the images.
He spoke to some of the surviving relatives, but most of them had no additional information. They simply remembered that the photos were part of an old family collection.
However, one of their old relatives, Aunt Maria, gave a hint. "Sometimes our ancestors had special rituals in this family. They like to keep notes or messages in unexpected places. Try checking in the old bookcase or drawer in your house."
Tanti thanked aunt Maria for her instructions and immediately checked the entire house. He ransacked old drawers, bookcases, and even memory boxes stored in the attic. However, he has not found anything that appears to be related to the images.
As he felt almost hopeless, he saw an old drawer that was in the corner of the basement. The drawer had not been open for a long time, and Tanti decided to give it a try. When he opened it, he found some old documents that contained notes and messages from their ancestors.
Read the notes carefully. They contain messages about family strength, solidarity, and the importance of maintaining strong family bonds. Those messages made her feel warm in her heart. Perhaps this is what the mysterious sender of the images wants to emphasize.
When Tanti returned to the living room, she saw that her parents were still in a state of anxiety. Elsa and Rudi looked relieved to see Tanti returned safely.
Elsa asked expectantly, "Are you from Tanto?"
Tanti shook her head. "No, Ma. But I have found some notes and messages written by our ancestors. They remind us of how important our family and bond are."
Rudi smiled, relieved to hear the news. "Thank you, Tanti. The messages of our ancestors always inspire us."
They continued to wait in the hope that Tanto and his team would return safely.
