The Fortitude of a Mother
ambushes

"Good look good ring on your finger, that thing is the hereditary legacy of our family.Kelak will definitely be very useful for you," said Mr. Kanta father of a girl named Awit, who was born,and now her body is borrowed from Mirah, no matter where the real spirit of Awit is

The message from Mr. Kanta continues to ring in Mirah's ear, at this time he only looks at the ring with a feeling that is difficult to explain

"Why did you come to me?" the beautiful woman stared fixedly at the ring, but again a mysterious voice in her head that answered the question mirah

"I told you that the ring is yours, you are destined to have it,"

"Hahhh.., you again.Show me your form, don't just talk in my head." asked Mirah, as if defiantly

"It's impossible, if you ask for it,"

"Hmm, so 'yes,"

The day was getting more and more day, and Mirah was very confused what to do in this era that she did not know at all, plus both her parents (the parents of Awit) somehow where she was, she said,since morning Mirah has not seen them.

He now only looks at people passing by, and there are also some people who shouldered something like a coffin.

"Wait on! a coffin? who died?" he muttered, he was very surprised

"Sir, who died?" with such high curiosity Mirah ventured to ask the person

"Bapak sunhawi, he is one of the fighters that we have great respect for" replied a person wearing a turban

"Oh, so? he died because of what 'yes?" Mirah was curious about it

"Shot the Dutch soldiers, while they were ambushing,"

Mirah closed her mouth because of shock and disbelief, she really felt unexpected now is living life in an era full of struggle

"Let's neng Awit, father excuse me first.You bury the body, mercy if it is too long left," then the person passed from before Mirah

Mirah then felt a worry in her heart, remembering that neither of her parents had met her since morning until now.Then she decided to go look for them,and before leaving he did not forget to lock the door and store it under the rock near the chicken coop owned by the kanta.

Mirah down the streets are so quiet, because it happens that Pak Kanta's house is very hidden, far from the settlement of other residents, so before meeting the path that is usually passed by the residents, so before meeting the path that is usually passed by the residents,first he had to pass through a banana garden garden that was so lush and spacious

Until some time he walked, he arrived at a resident's house and saw two people, women

the middle of pounding the rice using lisung, so that it sounds kasak kusuk in the ear of Mirah.

"So sorry 'yes, pak Kanta.Beliau even though he had sacrificed for Mr. Sunhawi, but fate said another.Pak sunhawi still died and Pak Kanta was finally captured by the Dutch soldiers, said a woman wearing a sarong

Hearing the conversation of the two women, Mirah felt her heart racing, then she slowly approached the two women

"Khmm.., excuse me," he said a little hesitantly

The two women then turned their heads towards the voice that greeted her

"Neng Awit!!" said the two at the same time, of course they were very surprised to see Awit there

"Forcuse us neng, we do not mean gossip or anything.We just feel sad by the arrest of Mr. Kanta, his father Eneng," said one of the women felt bad

"Yes,emm.but, what mother said earlier, is it true?" Mirah could not bear to not ask, she really felt unsettled

"I mean neng Awit, over the capture of Mr Kanta?" the woman made sure

"Yes" he said impatiently

"Betul neng, we witnessed Mr. Kanta himself held by the Dutch soldiers, after they shot Mr. Sunhawi.They thought your father was involved with the ambush."

After hearing the explanation of the women, the knee of Mirah immediately felt weak, his heart felt very sad with the misfortune that befell his father, because for some reason even though Mr. Kanta was just the father he had just met, he felt very sad,but he really felt such a strong bond

"Dad.." he said grudgingly.

Seeing the sad state of Mirah like that both women were trying to comfort and encourage her

"Patient Feng Awit 'yes,"

"If I may ask, does this mother know, where did the Dutch soldier take my father?"

The two women looked at each other, they seemed hesitant to tell the truth

"My answer is Ma'am," Mirah pleaded

"Emm..., it looks like to port 'neng" said the woman looked doubtful

"Yes, we know,"

"Tell me" asked Mirah

The incident before his father Awit was arrested by Dutch soldiers...

Tonight the air felt very humid, the wind was blowing very fast, above the sky was seen lightning that lit up like a giant whip.

In the dark of the night so gripping seen a group of men using a glove wrapped around the waist with pointed bamboo in their hands each, each of them,they settled down downwards down a steep rock towards the riverbank, their aim was to ambush the Dutch soldiers who would pass through the river by raft, and the,because according to the information of an eye they smuggled among the Dutch, saying that tonight the soldiers will take weapons in a gunpowder warehouse located near the river upstream,this group of men intended to take away their weapons.

"Sutttt, be careful you step.These descendants are so steep, it's wrong you will slip and fall into the river below" a person who was allegedly the head of the group warned

"Well, we'll be careful,"

The wind gusts are getting stronger and the air is getting colder, a group of people then shrink the body hoping to reduce the cold that feels more piercing.

Before long the rain fell heavily, lightning struck the light followed by thunderous lightning that was earthy, the atmosphere felt so gripping.However it made it easier for a group of fighters to carry out the action.

Because if the rain falls very heavy, the flow of the river will increase rapidly, even to overflow.And it is very dangerous, if you force yourself through the river route let alone just use a raft,one of the wrong rafts will be overturned and the soldiers will drown carried away by the currents so swift.

A group of people who turned out to be the fighters of this beloved country, very sure the Dutch soldiers will not take the risk of harm and certainly harm.

"Our number is ten, let us divide into three groups with three people each" said the group's chairman

Then their chairman immediately divided for the group, and of course with their respective duties msing

"Interruption" said someone raising their hand

"Yes, what is there that you don't understand?" ask the chairman

"How about me, they have got their respective assignments, but I am not included," said one of the youngest among them

"Oh, I almost forgot.Because you are the youngest among us, so we need your dexterity to take the weapon.While we are paralyzing the soldiers," said the chairman,pak Sunhawi is a close friend of Mr. Kanta, even this ambush is the idea of both of them, but tonight Mr. Kanta did not participate in carrying out the ambush, he said,because he was still worried about his beloved princess, Awit, who was chased by Lieutenant Jan Fokkens until he was mired in the ravine.

First lieutenant Jan Fokkens saw Awit by the river, then he was washing clothes there and the lieutenant felt in love at first sight and then he peeked and followed Awit home,it is unexpected that fokkens also directly to the point to the girl that she likes him and forced to marry the beautiful girl,

but Awit, who hated the soldiers, then refused raw the desire of the lieutenant, feeling the rejection finally the Dutch man was furious, Pak Kanta and his wife were hit by a rifle butts until they fell down,

seeing his parents treated like that, Awit was angry and slapped the fokkens, but unexpectedly the man's anger increased, so he would impose his will on the girl,the lieutenant stripped off the pants he was wearing in front of the girl and her parents, Awit who realized it then ran as hard as he could and of course immediately chased after Jan,but it was so bad because of panic that Awit did not realize his step, so he finally mired into the abyss.

"You got it?" ask sunawi to make sure

"Okay, I understand!" said the steady young man

"Then you all understand, right, with your own duties?"

"Yes, we understand." They nodded in unison, even in the midst of the unfriendly weather but their spirits were so burning

"Once again I remind you of your task, group one, you go and hide near the rock over there including me, the goal is to confront the enemies on the front line,"

"Then the group of two tasks is to paralyze the enemies with the skills you each have,"

"While group three, your job is to be on guard when groups one and two are overwhelmed you have to be quick to help, understand?" said mr. sunawi

Everyone nodded in understanding

"And you young man, while we take down the enemy, use your dexterity to take away the weapons they carry,"

So did the young man, he nodded steadily

Heavy rain, from a distance already seen a faint light that is certainly used by Dutch soldiers for lighting, and,as expected the Dutch soldiers did not use the raft because the river flow is so swift and overflowing, they are not stupid to sacrifice themselves.

Soon, Mr. Sunawi and others are ready to carry out the plans they have compiled

When the Dutch soldiers passed the stone where the group of one hiding arrived they were surprised by the people who confronted, the sunhawi pak then stuck out one leg, he said,and sure enough, the first army fell down immediately followed by the soldiers behind him, because they walked together, and their waist was tied with a rope with a purpose,if one of them falls then the other can feel and can help.Given the banks of the river they pass is slippery rock

Rough,brugh,brugh...

"Give me your weapons, mister" Mr. Sunhawi and two others immediately pointed the soldiers with pointed bamboo
