Zombie City: Dead or Life
19. Temples and Secrets

*Kelvin POV*

Sfx: tap.. Tep.. Taps.. Tep.....

The stairs that we continued to climb to the end ended with the appearance of three temple buildings that are patterned like temples in Japan.

Me and Zidan were amazed to see the andhika house, then in front there were already some people dressed in black suits and sunglasses welcoming us all to enter the temple.

"Thank God Mr. Andhika has arrived safely" said some people who welcomed earlier.

"Yes, where are my parents?" ask andhika to them.

"They've been waiting for you master in the living room" replied the black-clothed man who was the son of Andhika's father.

"Yes well, all of you keep an eye out for the outside, lest there be any undead stepping on the son's residence!"

"Whoa mr. andhika, we will do it soon!!" said some of Andhika's men firmly and then came out just in case.

"Now that you all come with me, I will introduce my parents to you" Andhika told us all.

Zidan and I agreed.

"Yes andhika" Okta replied with a smile towards andhika while holding reina.

Marsha also smiled somewhat relieved to find a safe place even for a moment and while holding the hand of the sari who was still sitting on the bench Kindergarten.

Vika, annisa, kamiya also nodded in agreement, we followed andhika towards the middle room. Andhika opened the door and entered in following us all.

Looks like Andhika's parents are sitting in the living room we entered, waiting for the arrival of her son who just survived the tragedy of the world.

"I came home, mom" said Andhika who sat in front of her parents.

We all greeted our parents and sat down. All the room decorations look like a temple in Kyoto, Japan.

Me, zidan and kak kamiya were also a little amazed by the atmosphere of his temple.

"I haven't seen a temple in a long time since I moved to Indonesia" said Kamiya.

"eek... So Kamiya's brother is an outsider huh..?" annisa while thinking.

"Of course, I moved to Indonesia since my parents were gone" said Kamiya with a friendly smile.

Marsha, vika, marsha and okta just say oh simultaneously signify understanding what kakamiya is telling you.

"Wah wow it turns out you are an outsider who lives long in Indonesia, sorry not to introduce yourself before her"

"My name is the great son and father of andhika son, then beside me this is yukima kato, she is my wife as well as the mother of andhika putra" continued father andhika introduced herself.

"Yes, my name is shin kamiya, just call kamiya, I am a teacher who teaches in their school" replied kak kamiya with a friendly smile.

"Oh so, then thank you our teacher for educating our children to be better and useful for others" said andhika's father with a smile.

"Oh no matter what the great sir, honestly this great father's son is very accomplished in class, and hangs out with these good children" said kamiya with a friendly smile.

"We are very grateful to our teacher" said Andhika's mother with a smile.

"Sama-sama yukima's mother"

"Then I want to talk about something important with my son for a while" said Andhika's mother who left and left the room with andhika.

"Do you want to walk the streets looking around as I tell you about the past of the temple and our family?"

"Of course uncle, they are all already curious about this temple" said Haqqul with his flat face.

"Yes we are curious great uncle, we all want to, right friends" said Zidan with curiosity and impatience.

"Yes.. Patience first zidan" said marsha while still holding the sari.

"I'm coming too"

"Sama, I'm also coming" said Annisa who chimed in vika's words.

Okta just nodded while smiling innocently by holding reina.

"Me too" I said briefly.

"All right, follow uncle!" sahut great uncle with a smile with great enthusiasm.

"Uncle, I'd like to go to your warehouse for a while to pick up my equipment" said Haqqul looking at his great uncle with his flat face.

The great uncle nodded and the haqqul went to the warehouse leaving us, we went to look at the temple while being accompanied by the great uncle.

"Where does the uncle start his story." said the great uncle by thinking and walking.

"Start from this temple alone uncle!" sahut zidan with an impatient tone.

"Haha... Hey young man, you're so excited, aren't you? All right, uncle will tell you about this temple" said the great uncle who laughed for a moment loudly and smiled as he walked and crossed his arms in the chest.

"This temple is a temple that was passed down through generations by the family of my wife, the great-grandfather of my wife who built this temple with the community. If you remember my uncle's meeting with my wife, that is, the time to do the mission and the enemy in the mission is my own wife" said the great uncle who began to tell me about his past while taking us all for a walk observing the entire corner of the temple.

"Uncle was not the colonialists the enemy of Indonesia? Why doesn't society hate uncle's wife's family? Why did he help build the temple?" suhut zidan with a tone and a face full of questions.

"Good question, young man! I'll answer!" said great uncle.

"That's because my wife's family disagreed with the occupation and chose to protect the population here with all her troops, my wife's great-grandfather was a famous samurai of his era, to have a lot of well-trained men and students" continued the great uncle answering zidan questions while continuing to walk into a special room.

"Waah scared her.." said Vika and followed the marsha nod while gulping, sari was only confused by her innocent gaze, not understanding what we were talking about.

"Haha...! Take it easy, you have nothing to fear, although it looks creepy but my wife's great-grandfather is kind and uses his power to protect his citizens from invading attacks" timpal great uncle who laughed saw the somewhat frightened face of vika and marsha.

"So then, then your meeting with your wife why should it be an enemy?" ask kamiya.

"That time I was working as an assistant to his father haqqul, at that time we hated no invaders, so did his father haqqul, eric dwi wardhana. We were both black market holders" replied the great uncle at length.

I saw this room full of ancient objects and ancient weapons neatly displayed on every wall and corner of the room.

"And here is a relic from the previous descendants of my wife, all stored neatly and also clean" said the great uncle explained this room.

"What a great uncle!" sahut zidan with sparkling eyes saw some katana relics of great-grandfather.

"Great uncle, andhika is what kind of person?" ask okta while looking at the great uncle and with curiosity.

Grand uncle glanced at the octa and closed his eyes for a moment while smiling.

"Andhika is my stupid, reckless, stubborn and also lame child!!" said the great uncle with annoyance and seen from his eyes the fire of vexation that raged.

"But he is a kind, helpful child, and does not like to trouble others, the person he cares about will be protected until the point of his final blood. Uncle used to train andhika to become a hit man and now he stops, then chooses to find a new atmosphere" continued the great uncle while crossing his arms in the chest.

"So so.., thank God.." timpal okta with a small smile.

Me and the others were looking at the objects and weapons in this room, octa was busy chatting with his great uncle while holding reina.

While the vika and annisa saw the ancient Japanese decoration displayed on the table, kak kamiya and zidan saw the display of weapons in the corner of the room.

All seemed busy and instantly their attention was distracted by the arrival of aunt yukima and andhika.

"Friends of friends prepare yourself, we will go to the next place" said Andhika with a smile.

"Heeeehh... Departing?! Though I'm comfortable here" zidan grumbled.

"Don't complain too much!" timpal annisa who hit the head of zidan to the bump with annoyance.

"While..?! Sick annisa! Your punch is like a monster" grumbled zidan again while elus his cramped head.

Annisa hits her again, so her bump increases to 3.

"Do you all agree, guys?" I said to ask all my friends questions.

"Yes we agree, the sooner the better" said vika.

"Like that" said Marsha.

"Agoddess..!" sari said with a happy smile.

"Our goal is still far away" said kamiya with a friendly smile.

"I also agree, andhika" said Okta who held andhika's hand while smiling sincerely.

"h-huh.. Then... We get ready first." said Andhika with a little nervousness and her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Ummm... Like his son we've got his partner, my husband" aunt yukima quipped to andhika.

"I-mom.. D-don't be.. I'm shy..?!"

"His choice fits my wife perfectly, she's just like you used to be" said the great uncle giving a thumbs up to andhika and okta.

Okta I saw also a little embarrassed and still holding baby Reina, for some reason we saw her like a small family.

"D-dad?! I-mom..?! Already, I'm ashamed..?!" said a nervous andhika with her reddened face.

"alright.. Hihihi.."

"Dad, mother, I have one request. Can you tell our subordinates to save my friends and teachers who are at school? They are waiting for help, but as you know, the world is in turmoil." said Andhika pleading with her great uncle and aunt yukima.

We could only speak a thousand languages, listening to andhika's request to her parents.

"And my mother will come with my friends to protect them and help them from adversity"

Both of andhika's parents thought for a moment then aunt yukima gave a small smile, as well as the snide smile of great uncle to andhika.

"Well andhika, mother believes that you can protect your friends, mama will wait after everything is done" said aunt yukima calmly and her small smile.

"Based on the son of a bitch, do not need to tell me even dad already knows" said the great uncle.

"Based on parents" sahut andhika with her flat face.

"Did you say stupid boy!" sahut great uncle with a resentful tone.

"Have it been, don't fight, or do I want to punish?" timpal aunty yukima with a smile.

Instantly the faces of the great uncle and andhika were somewhat pale.

"No, my wife, look at us just kidding! Oh, andhika!!" said the great uncle with a forced smile and looked for an excuse by embracing andhika.

"W-is that right mom, me and dad are just kidding?!" said Andhika who agreed with the great uncle and joined in smiling forcefully.

"Good then" said aunt yukima with a smile.

Somehow the feeling of this atmosphere is very familiar, really warm and comfortable their smile...

I wonder if there is a tomorrow for me to enjoy this atmosphere again...
