THE TASK OF HELL

THE TASK OF HELL
About Death


They speak in English. Translation. Non-baku mixed Indonesian.


During a flight to Indonesia, Tobias flies outside with Erik. Antony, Jonathan and Vesper are inside. They sit hovering following the movement of the helicopter delivering to the destination. Junior focuses on watching on the pilot bench even though the auto-pilot is activated.


"Tell me. How did Sandara die, D? Including Juna and Lysa," the sad Vesper pinta.


King D looked at Jonathan fixedly and the man smiled at a glance. Vesper's view was shifted to his son.


"Nathan only knows when Sandara's about to die, Mama. Nathan didn't know when Lysa and Kak Juna were gone. That's what Nathan said when he woke up, everyone he loved was gone forever" Jonathan said.


Vesper hugged his son tightly. Jonathan was about to cry, but he held it. Vesper smiled as he released a hug and tried hard not to look sad in front of all.


"They died peacefully. Age. However, there is another factor: disease" King D replied slowly.


"What pain are they, D?" ask Vesper sayu.


"Arjuna had blood cancer, Oma. However, his death was quick. He also only found out when it was the final stage. You know Arjuna's physique is very good. Maybe that's what made him ignore the pain. As she found out, Arjuna also acted as if it was just the flu. He spent the end of his life in the hospital accompanied by a family who loved him."


"Tanpaku," said Jonathan with a downcast look.


All listeners are silent. They knew that Jonathan was sorry that he wasn't there to accompany his brother until his death.


"What about your mother?" antony asked, breaking the silence.


"After returning home for the Hajj with Fara, Baba and I, Mimi. Mimi survived for two years ago. Some say because it is a tube factor that causes damage to the function of internal organs. However, Mimi denies that and blames no one" replied King D with eyes fixed.


Vesper could no longer endure his grief. He hugged King D and Jonathan at the same time. The two men closed their eyes tightly. Junior who heard King D's words fell silent on his stool because he could feel the sadness. Although Vesper's embrace penetrated, but King D seemed to be able to feel that warm touch.


"Then .. aunt Sandara," said King D, who made Jonathan and Vesper sit up straight again. "The serum that made Sandara's aunt live long was neutralized after Jordan died. He said if he promised to live on with your son, Mr. Boleslav. As soon as the Mythology serum on her body disappeared, a week after Aunt Sandara closed her eyes. He looked very old, unlike when the Mythological serum had taken possession of his body" King D said, leaving Vesper's and Antony's views down.


"Their deaths sound peaceful, but why is the torture so horrible in hell?" ask Vesper sadly.


"Only God knows, Oma. When death picks you up, you also look so peaceful, like a sinless saint. But the Almighty judges another. We never know His greatest secret" said King D, who is possessed by all listeners.


When all people and spirits are overwhelmed with sadness, suddenly ....


THE TET! THE TET! THE TET!


"What's that!" ask Antony who feels if the sound is a danger warning alarm.


"Hey! There's a robot coming here!" tobias exclaimed into the helicopter, even if it was just his head.


"Damn! It's Alva's robot! He found us!" peeker Erik saw a flying Dew darting towards him.


"That woman, what else does she want!" pekik Vesper is upset and immediately out followed by Antony and Jonathan.


"Junior! Hide away!" tell King D and Junior to leave the pilot seat.


The five spirits flew around the King D helicopter as Dew flew in front of the pilot's window. King D's eyes sharpened as if looking directly at Alva. Sure enough, suddenly the weaponry from the Dew appeared. His wing-like hand turned out to have a hole like the muzzle of a rifle and was now aimed at him. Blue light appeared and King D realized that the beam was a laser shot that could damage his vehicle.


"Be aware if my helicopter explodes! I won't forgive you!" jonathan shouted with roaring breath.


Instantly, PIP!


"Hello. I don't want to cause any trouble, Mr. King D. Let's talk carefully," asked Dew who flew backwards because the King D helicopter kept on going.


"I don't want to make it worse" said Alva, whose hologram appeared before Dewun's face.


King D squinted and pressed the screen on the wrist. The helicopter side door opened. King D signals with head movements. Alva understands the code and makes the robot fly in the direction it is going. The spirits stared at the movement of the sticky Dew that was now entering the helicopter with the weaponry disabled.


GREKS!


The door closed perfectly. The spirits who were worried that King D and Junior were in danger were now surrounding Dewun. The robot floated above the cabin floor as King D walked into the room and stood upright in front.


"What do you want?"


"I didn't know you were alive. How come?" tanya Alva spoke directly like communication through a video call.


King D sat slowly on a bench looking calmly staring at the Alva hologram on his robot.


"I heard back if you were looking for me. Let me guess, you want to know the truth about the world from me?" king D and Alva asked with a big smile.


"You're great like the rumors I've heard" replied Alva.


"Be careful with every piece of information you receive, Alva. Didn't you get what Morlan needed? I've told him a lot" asked King D. Instantly, Alva's face was serious. He looks tense. King D smiled in anguish. "You seem to be getting greedy, Alva. You're not satisfied with the information Morlan said and you're looking for me. Wh why? You want to live a long life like me? Rest assured, if you attempt to take a small part of my body, destruction will ensue. Your ancestors, desperately fighting for peace, including me. Not because of your excessive curiosity, make you greedy and forget the suffering of the predecessors in order to live in peace without war."


"Hem, nice, D. Slap him with your hurtful words" said Tobias, who made King D smile stiffly.


"Then ...what should I do with so many questions in my head?" tanya Alva looked annoyed.


"Use it to uncover the report I gave you. The men in black uniforms appeared in almost every corner of the world. I don't know how many they are. However, I make sure that their goal is to undermine peace and restore war. You better focus on that. Protect Earth's peace like you promised in office. I was President of the World and I know my duty. May you too" said King D sternly staring at the hologram of the woman in front of him.


Alva nodded then smiled then. "It's nice to talk to you, Mr. King D. I'm sure you're watching me."


"really? I thought otherwise."


"Haha! Got you!" jonathan was happy.


Alva smiled stiffly. "OKAY. So ... You'll be my performance witness in office. Hope not to disappoint. All right, I think .. Our conversation is enough. Sorry to interrupt your trip, Mr. King D. Peaceful greetings," said Alva sungkan and embraced by King D.


The helicopter door that had been closed automatically once Dew entered is now open. The spirits of men who wanted to make sure that the robot was not a threat, saw the departure of Dew. The flying object flew on the opposite route to the destination of the helicopter. Junior finally came out when King D declared him safe.


"Hoh! Hohhh!"


"He's watching us, Junior. Better, you start being careful" asserted King D. Junior nodded in understanding and then returned to the pilot bench.


King D looked tense as the end he was worried about happened. Alva knew she was alive and was convinced the woman was after her to answer the questions that passed through her head. King D knows that someday, inevitably, he will have to answer that. Today, it is just a delay.


"King D," call Vesper worried.


"It's okay, Oma. I've had worse. Don'worry. Junior and I know what to do. Long life gives us a lot of experience" replied King D calmly.


"I'm proud of you, D. Take good care of yourself" Vesper said expectantly and King D nodded slowly.
