LIFE (Han, Ian, Dina, Ute & Pras)
Ep. 13 Wapamanggala (Ian and Pras)
...~ IAN ~...
After lunch, we, the Praja Police cadres were deliberately collected by Polpra seniors in the Lower Menza field, apart from our friends other Muda Praja.
After being built physically (with happy push-ups, which did not make us happy at all), countless sit-ups and alternating somersaults and bolsters, we finally lined up neatly again.
I saw Ka'Han walking leisurely, coming down from Menza's field up towards us. He said: "Well, you are too weak, less strict and very unyielding to be Polpra!"
Those slowly spoken words sounded jarring in these ears. 'Seriously, it must have something to do with my smile earlier when guarding the door. Maybe I am less rigid and not narcissistic to become a Polpra like ka'Han.' my mind resigned.
The ka'Han sentence began to attract many other Polpra's attention. Some of them even blatantly moved closer to me. I started preparing myself to receive more coaching (a kind of punch 2½ buttons) 😨..
Then Ka'Han approached the position I was marching, which made the crowd slightly unravel and again said: "You sure you still want to continue this Polpra cadet?"
A simple question that should have been easy to answer, but somehow it was difficult to get out of this mouth, but after a moment of silence and more and more eyes were paying attention to us, I finally replied: "Ready brother, I accept if it is considered not to pass the cadet and not worthy to be Polpra, but if asked to resign because I feel unable to follow the cadet, I refuse.."
Suddenly I felt this jolt and pressure in my chest, which left me wobbling for a moment backwards. "Your boasting." exclaimed the bat, who turned out to be a Polpra from Nindya Praja who had been standing beside me.
When I straightened up and looked forward, my face darkened. Either because of my answer or the spontaneous reaction of the hitter.
"Dan, you come with me!" ka'Han orders her then while turning her body and walking back to the upper Menza field.
"Ready brother." I answered quickly as I followed his long steps.
My departure seemed to be accompanied by the envious views of other fellow Polpra cadres who began to receive physical coaching like the one I had just experienced. "Haish, until when will this tradition continue to run.." My mind back nelangsa..
Ka'Han I see has been sitting leaning under the buning of bougainfile plants that set the edge of the Menza field above which can indeed be used as a seat. I automatically stood before him, taking a resting stance, about 2 meters away, a good position to avoid his kick just in case he planned to do so.
"Why are you afraid of me deck? Have I ever taken you straight? Or have you ever seen me play hands or feet to junior?" tanya ka'Han looked amused and offended at the distance attitude I did.
"Ready brother." I replied as long as I took a momentary stand and returned to the resting position on the spot, not saying yes or saying no to the question. But it seems that ka'Han understands the ambiguity of my answer.
"Fankly speaking, only this time I got an order from a junior to take care of other juniors. That's why I invite you here, wait for your friends to be built under it and you can go back to the routine with them" said ka'Han again.
"Ready man." answered me again, trying to say thank you without saying it.
Well, my guess turned out to be right. At first glance before being collected, I did see ka'Han walking with a Madya Putri whose smile was very sweet with dimples on both sides of her face, the smile that had shaken my stiff face and unraveled my smile when guarding Menza's door earlier.
So ka'Han already has a heart patch. Ute could be calm now, because on several occasions, ka'Han seemed to approach Ute, who showed a completely disinterested attitude.
"Why are you smiling deck?" ask ka'Han a minute later.
"Every sister, only affection can soften our actions." I replied smiling again.
"Is that clear?" he asked again, with a look that was agha laugh, then continued his sentence: "But I was serious when I said that you were too weak, less firm and very unjaim to be Polpra! You better choose to follow another cadet. Like for example, follow Wapamanggala. It fits your personality." he said again.
'What is Wapamanggala?' my inner.
"Oh that there is Pras.he is one of the managers of Wapamanggala like it.. Pras, try here for a second!" ka'han said suddenly.
In front of Menza I saw Nindya Praja named Pras turn his head and immediately move closer to us. I automatically do ppm and say hello to him "Good day brother." Ka'Pras did the same towards ka'Han and turned to me with a smile.
"Can I help you?" tanyanya.
"This Young Praja, his name is Ian, is actually still a cadre of Polpra, but I think he is more suitable to enter Wapamanggala. Maybe you can build and cadre neh Muda. I still have other needs, please go ahead." said ka'Han and patted me on the shoulder at a glance and walked away.
"So you already know what Wapamanggala is?" ask ka'Pras.
"Everyone is not yet sis." answered me while taking a ready position when answering.
"Also relax aja deck. don't be too tense if the same brother.. Hayu come with me, we go to Wapamanggala headquarters!" bring later. We walked side by side to Menza's basement.

The condition of the space again temaran we found after opening the front glass door with a large sticker of Wapamanggala emblem.
Looking at the history of its establishment, Wapamanggala turned out to be an independent organization in this knight, which concentrates on the field of activities of nature lovers since 1998. The meaning of Wapamanggala itself is as Wahana Praja Knowing Society, Mountain, Nature and Environment.
"To become a member of Wapamanggala, do not use all-deck cadres.. The inauguration method is also only symbolic, at the foot of Mount Manglayang, marked by the embedding of a dark blue scarf bearing the eight directions of the wind as a sign of membership.
One of our fundamental commitments, socialised since the time of the inauguration of the first generation, is that in Wapamanggala, all members are free from the shackles of seniority, but still with the principle of mutual respect and respect among fellow members and based on the spirit of togetherness and brotherhood" said ka'Pras lengthen x width.
I did not say anything during his explanation, but still nodded vigorously. 'It seems that I am more suited to join this organization.' My inner self.

...~ PRAS ~...
Although it was painful as if my heart was being sliced open, for the sake of seeing the idol girl walking with the ka'Han had entered a room under Menza, for the sake of seeing the idol girl walking with the ka'Han had entered a room under Menza, but I can't help myself not to follow and monitor their movements.
It wasn't long before ka'Han came out and somehow, I reflexively hid behind a pillar, dodging from the vantage area of ka'Han, who was walking back to Menza's field, he said, it is possible to monitor Polpra's cadre activities.
I walked towards the room where I thought I was leaving Dina alone. But not yet at the door, Dina seemed to rush out of the room. Unfortunately, our distance is not too close to collide.
Dina's face looked startled and flushed when faced with me, then seemed to recall her doing ppm and said: "Good afternoon, sister."
"Good day Dina. Where are you going and where are you going?" ask me while replying to his ppm.
"Every sister, not from anywhere and about to return to the barracks" he replied stammering.
"Dina, can we have a casual chat for a moment?" ask again.
Dina looked silent and we looked back for a while. 'When time can stop this moment' my mind, then remembered the Maroon 5 song titled "Won't Go Home Without You" which for some time often accompanied my life.
"Sorry brother. I can't. forgive me.." Dina answered then, stammered and hurried over, as if running, leaving me alone, who could only nelangsa staring at her disappearance..
For some reason, my legs were lowered towards the menza and for a while stood facing the thousand stairs towards the lower plaza field.
...***...
The first time I heard the song (fighting with the lyrics) right when I came home from the cruise that afternoon, it felt very fitting to describe the condition of this heart at that time and every time I saw their togetherness, he said, as at this moment:
...And she left before I had the chance to say, Oh....
...The words that would mend,...
...The things that were broken...
...But now it's far too late; she's gone away.....
...Every night you cry yourself to sleep...
...Thinking: "Why does this happen to me? Why does every moment have to be so hard?"...
...Hard to believe that.. It's not over tonnage, though,...
...Just give me one more chance to make it right...
...I may not make it through the night,...
...I won't go home without you.....
...The taste of her breath, I'll never get over...
...The noises that you made kept me awake.. Oh.....
...The weight of the things, that remembered unspoken...
...Built up so much it crushed us everyday...
...Every night you cry yourself to sleep...
...Thinking: "Why does this happen?...
...Why does every moment have to be so hard?"...
...Hard to believe. It's not over tonnage,...
...Just give me one more chance to make it right...
...I may not make it through the night,...
...I won't go home without you.....
...(translation:...
...I asked him to stay,...
...But he won't listen...
...And he left before I could say, Oh.....
...Words that will correct.....
...The broken things...
...But it is too late now;...
...he's gone.....
...Every night you cry yourself to sleep...
...Think: "Why did this happen to me? Why does every moment have to be so hard?"...
...It's hard to believe that tonight is not over...
...Give me one more chance to fix it...
...I may not be able to get through tonight,...
...I'm not going home without you...
...His breath I'll never be able to forget the sounds you made keeping me awake Oh.....
...The weight of things that remain unspoken...
...Building so much.....
...it destroys us every day...
...Every night you cry yourself to sleep...
...Think: "Why did this happen to me? Why does every moment have to be so hard?"...
...It's hard to believe that tonight is not over...
...Give me one more chance...
...to fix it...
...I may not be able to get through tonight, I'm not going home without you)...

When the ka'Han greeted and directed an Ian to enter the Wapamanggala, I was reminded again that life must go on. (translation \= life must continue)
The hope is still there and will not be allowed to be extinguished. if people say as long as there is no “janur kuning” (which symbolizes marriage), if people say as long as there is no <TAG1>janur kuning<TAG1> (which symbolizes marriage), for me is as long as there is no “yellow flag” (which symbolizes death)..
As long as this body lives, the struggle will continue..
