Janu's heart was pounding faster. His adrenaline's racing great. Some slide the action plan, he turns it on the head.
Must be fast, accurate and safe.
The attention of the soldier was entirely on the thick-bodied man. The figure appeared to be standing while using binoculars observing towards the bottom of the mountain range. His gun appears to be tucked behind his back.
One plan came to Janu's head. "I want to pee!" yells.
Some people were shocked and annoyed. The laken hat told one of them to escort Janu. Lazily he obeyed the order and approached Janu. Soon Janu stood with his hands fixed behind his back. It must remain so, in order to hide the already open knot of the bond.
They walked towards the bush. In a moment they will pass by a thick-bodied man. Janu counted in his heart.
One ...
Two ...
Three ...
The sreet!
In a quick motion, Janu spins around and grabs a gun tucked into the stocky man's back. At almost the same time, he choked the neck of the stocky with his arm one from behind. Immediately he turned to face the escorting armed man. The body of the fattened man became his shield.
It all happened so fast. The separatist group members were aghast and could not do anything when Janu had snatched the stock and pointed at the man's back with a gun. The laken hat screamed in anger. A weapon is pointed at Janu. And so did the others, as they pulled their guns.
"Don't move, or he I'm shooting!" gertak Janu's. Then slowly the soldier retreated backwards while dragging the stocky. The thick body felt trembling in Janu's eyes.
The gunmen swore and shouted in anger. But they can't do much. A friend turned into a hostage.
The laken hat couldn't stand it. He moved in to follow Janu.
"DON'T MOVE!" peekkik Janu again, warned. The gun he pointed forward before then back pointed at the stock.
The laken hat stepped up. The dirty words came back from his mouth.
While Janu continued to walk backwards while still cornering the neck of the stocky with his arms. Slowly he moved away from the armed group. Up to a distance of about 100 meters from them, Janu stopped. He pointed his gun at the feet of the fat man.
DOR'S!
"NAMEGRH ...!" The howl of the stockbroker broke the silence of the forest, as the hot lead languished in its calf.
Janu threw the body of the stocky. Then the soldier immediately ran and jumped into a sloping ravine but lush by bushes and trees. Back there the gunmen immediately ran after Janu. Some stopped to take care of the stocky, others darted, chasing Janu, down into the abyss.
Bullets and arrows rained down on Janu. The man ran as fast as he could without looking. The gun in his hand was not fired. There's no time for that. Running away is better than stopping defending yourself in the position you are in. Their numbers and weapons were more than enough to bulldoze Janu's life.
DOR'S!
DOR'S!
DOR'S!
Shuut!
Shuut!
Shuut!
Every now and then Janu ducked dodging bullets and arrows. He ran and kept running. Sometimes his body slumped and rolled, following the steep contours of the ground. Suddenly ....
"Aargh...!" Janu screamed in pain as something hot ambushed his thigh.
Janu's legs suddenly felt burning and limp. For a moment he stopped and held his thigh. Blood had pierced through his tart pants and soaked his hands. Janu grimaced in pain. But he has to keep running. With his legs, limping, continued running.
Separatists who are pursuing him are getting closer. Their cries were getting clearer. As much as Janu's energy accelerated his run. Until then he was mired into a steep basin of land.
Janu's body rolled down. Turning around crashing through the thickets that filled the abyss. Pain and pain throughout his body. Not to mention the heat in the thighs.
BYURR!
Janu's body hit the surface of the water. His head stumbled onto the stone, making the soldier's consciousness vanish again.
***
"WHAT?!" jerit Maira's. It doesn't matter where he is at the moment. The news that the Commander had just delivered had struck down with his feelings.
"Sit down first, Ms. Janu," the commander's mother asked, wringing her shoulders and taking a seat.
Without being invited Maira already felt limp all the joints. He almost sat on the floor if the Commander didn't hold his shoulder immediately. Now they're both sitting on the couch in the commander's office.
Maira's eyes stared at the Commander. His lips were shaking, hands were trembling. "W-how do I tell my husband s-now, sir?" tanyanya.
The commander walked over to his wife and Maira. While near the sofa stood lined up several PIA caretakers and a daily PIA development officer.
"At the moment, it is still in the search process. Let's pray that Serka Janu can meet soon, Mom. Please be patient."
Maira shut her mouth. He shook his head as if he was about to deny the news he had just heard. But his tears soon broke. He sobbed in the arms of the commander's mother.
"Patience, yes, Ms. Janu. Let's pray together for the safety of Janu's husband."
***
Maira came out of the commander's room with Nina's boat. His whole body feels weak. Tears do not stop coming out of the net. His brain felt frozen, unable to think of anything. Sadness and worry rule over her whole being.
Some of the rooms Maira passed by looked rowdy. There were screams of crying and shouts of roaring women calling out someone's name. The more heart ached Maira heard it. They are the wives of victims of attacks by separatist groups in Papua.
"We'll be home soon, yes" whispered Nina in Maira's ear.
The beautiful-faced woman nodded slowly. He also did not want to linger in a place that felt increasingly gripping and heartbreaking. With Nina still on her side, she hurried to leave the Command Headquarters office.
The office car drove Maira home. Nina and Bu Sapto accompanied him.
"You guys just pick up Bu Janu's son at school maybe, huh?" hail Sapto's mom, when they've sped out of the office area.
Hearing that Maira's face suddenly tensed. His memory turned to Oza.
Oza. What about Oza when you hear this? It was enough for him to feel the loss of father. Should I go back ... Ah ....
"Yushu ...!!!" his screams. The crying of the woman broke again. He wailed closing his face.
Nina immediately hugged Maira's body. Bu Sapto stroked his back.
"Istighfar, Ms. Janu, istighfar ...!"
"Astaghfirullah ... Astaghfirullah ...!" Maira's chest was cringing. A moment later he drooped in Nina's arms.
"Bak, madam!" Nina shook Maira's body. "Yes, God, faint, mother!" he shouted at Bu Sapto.
"Astaghfirullah ...." Bu Sapto also held the body of Maira sitting between him and Nina. "Om, don't pick up the kid. We go straight to Bu Janu's house!" his orders were on the soldiers driving their cars.
"Ready, Mom."
