The Companion
Ch. 36 A Miss

Many times trying to make a call always fails it turns out there is no signal.

" Pantsan from earlier is not connected... It turns out that there is no signal. "the word irfan emotion

They tried to stretch the cage from the iron, which looked unsound but in fact the energy of the three of them was not able to damage it.

They immediately gathered in the middle of the cage when two black beetles appeared walking around the cage.

" You guys don't be noisy, just interrupt your sleep. "

" Once again you guys do stupid acts do not hesitate to eat you. "

Said one of the beetles who was already in confinement that made them all frightened and flowed a warm ammonia-smelling liquid from the base of the foot.

Next they are unconscious

" That means your father was one of the foreign-owned secret agents who was sent here to get information and development of our country. "

" While they.... "

Wawan looks out your window all three of Lidya's subordinates are in a cage with the beetle uncle.

" What did you do to them ? "

" My beetle uncle hasn't eaten meat in a long time since he's been here. At least the three of them can become hungry anchors while here. "

Lidya's body was trembling. But his heart was more flowery. He had found the coveted prince. Clever, handsome, high-science and ruthless.

His sight was long blurred. Wawan brought his index finger closer to Lidya's forehead. It's all the memories Lidya has.

Wawan frowned when he saw Lidya being forged so violently by his father's subordinates. Little Lidya bled while fighting with some adult men.

Being hit and kicked instead of making Lidya cry makes her smile. The blood flowing from the corner of his lips he licked and swallowed.

Move on to her next memory.... Little Lidya had to memorize a book with music that was very deafening not to mention beside her sat there was a used tire that was burned.

Everything he read would be asked by an examiner. If he is wrong in showing the answer then a baseball bat will be nailed to his back.

" It was a painful youth. "

Wawan manipulated a bit of memory into Lidya. That they used to be lovers who had been separated.

Learning from this incident Wawan began to meditate. In his meditation he put up layers of shields while he was caught by the enemy and read his memories.

*****

Lidya opened her eyes slowly. He was lying on a familiar bed. The smell of the room reminded her of her own bedroom.

He walked out of the room and met his father. Both were surprised.

" Dad, why is it here ? "

" Lidya, aren't you in Semarang ? "

" ??????? " They both went silent.

They both wanted to say something but didn't.

" Why are you at home ? "

" That's exactly what Lidya is confused about. "

" Where is the person who accompanied you? "

Lidya shook her head.

By his father Lidya was taken to a secret room that was underground. Lidya was asked to tell her everything she had just experienced.

Without waiting long Lidya told me what she had experienced. Except about his feelings for the secret Wawan that he has revealed

" Hmmm..." Arifin thought for a moment

"Can you bring him here. "

Lidya looked at her father's face. He memorized very well what his father would do to pry for information.

If you can not use a soft way can be sure the way of violence is the end.

The atmosphere became silent as the two struggled with their respective thoughts.

The lights flickered slightly as Wawan stood behind Arifin.

Lidya smiled looking at Wawan.

Arifin wondered why her son smiled yet had time to think a hand slapped his shoulder slowly.

" Good afternoon Mr. Arifin. I just heard that you wanted to meet me. "

Arifin asked in a firm tone

" Wherever you hide I will easily find. "

" What do you want for this country ? "

" Blubbbbbbbb-s. "

The mood of the room changed. Arifin, Lidya and Wawan are in a very simple house. Standing in the corn garden.

The room where all was there was only a table with two chairs, a floor made of soil and a wooden bed that had appeared weathered without a pedestal.

A large window opened on the left right. A breeze blew through from behind the window.

From afar came a footstep with a slow rhythm. Arifin walked to the window.

Seen her an old woman with a slightly bent body walked by holding a cane to support her vulnerable body.

Tears of arifin trickled down looking at the old woman.

When going to walk out his arms in the grasp by Wawan.

" *Is this kind of a life of concern that you would give to your mother."

" Or a comfortable life for your mother's old age*. "

" There you are highly respected while here you suffer and are very regulated. "

The old woman stepped inside the house and walked towards a water barrel. By using the dipper in drinking the water.

Arifin cried with a tesedu-sedu seeing how sad his mother's life is today.

" Thirty years ago with fifty young men we were sent by ship to an archipelago. "

" We were all trained militarily and taught the language of the region to which we were intended. "

" The situation and conditions at that time were not as good as they are now. Forty of us all died on missions. "

" Seven more died of illness. Until we were both left, it was Lidya's mother. "

" One time we got important information and it was our duty to report. "

" Go home Lidya's mother back to her home country. I believe that the country promises to protect and protect our family. Seeing the reality today my faith faded. " Arifin recounts her past with disappointment

" If you want then I can take your mother away from here" Wawan said

Hearing the words of Wawan Arifin kneeled before Wawan.

" Whatever you ask I will fulfill even if it has to sacrifice my life. "

" My request is only one allow me to make my mother happy. "

" Alright, "wawan replied when there came a thin woman with a claw on her head and a hoe on her shoulders.

Arifin's cry exploded seeing the condition of his once beautiful wife is now in a very sad condition.

Lidya just cried and was unable to speak hearing her father's story. He did not expect that his father's life was so harsh.

Plus seeing her grandmother and mother in such a miserable state.

" Now we wait until dark. After that we move. "

" You guys stay here first. "

After speaking Wawan immediately disappeared

Now they both live in that room. Arifin and Lidya could see and hear the talk of Mother and wife but Mother and wife could not see them.

Arifin thought himself dead.

" My daughter-in-law, when will my son come and pick us up. He promised to come and take me away. "

" Calm Mom, my husband will definitely come and pick us up. He's building a very magnificent house with dozens of ministries that will take care of Mom. "

Farida replied that Arifin had heard because she was standing right by her side.

" *Today my heart feels warm Mom. "

" Farida can still smell her scent even though we were separated fifteen years ago. "

" My son is now definitely as big and beautiful as his mother and grandmother*. "

Hearing her mother's words Lidya ran and hugged her father to take off all the burden in her heart.

The sun is starting to sink. Farida turned on the wall lights to light up the room that was not large enough. When Wawan came to bring two large packages.

" What is that ? "
