REPLACEMENT MEN Season 2
EVACUATIONS

Pastor Andreas' eyes stared at the figure of the man sleeping on the stone plate. While Bertha approached and shook the man's body.

"Ugh .. ugh .. ugh!" racau Bertha's.

The stone wriggled, slowly his eyes opened. "Ah, you, Black Angel," he hissed. "Just come to you?" He then rose from sleep resting on his hands. Stone had not yet fully realized there was anyone else besides them in the cave.

"You W-who?" Reverend Andreas stammeredly asked him.

Spontaneous Stone jumped in shock. "WAA ...!" His gaze now turned on a middle-aged man who was looking at him with a look of bewildered eyes.

The man was surprised. He jumped a step back. While the Stone inched backwards until his back touched the wall of the cave. The face of the Stone turned stiffened. His eyes were implying fear.

"Ughb ... Arghj ... Ugh ...!" Bertha or the Black Angel moved her hand. He explained to Reverend Andreas in sign language.

Pastor Andreas nodded. After Bertha finished explaining, the middle-aged man approached Batu.

The stone is getting scared. His body is getting docked with the wall of the cave. Both hands crossed in front of the chest with palms clutching his own shoulders. The man turned his face to the side.

"Don't be afraid. I'm pastor Andreas, Bertha's best friend too." Reverend Andreas did not use the Papuan language because he saw that the man was not a native there. And again a while ago the man greeted Bertha with Indonesian and without Papuan dialect.

The stone again inched away as pastor Andreas sat on the stone plate.

"What's your name. Where are you from?"

Stone down. His palm now covered the face of fear. His body is getting cowering.

"Aarg ..ah .. uh!" bertha suddenly cried out. The girl then ran towards the other part of the cave.

Reverend Andreas frowned at Bertha's behavior. The girl just gave a hand signal so she could wait patiently. While waiting for Bertha, the priest observed the dreadlocked and gondrong-haired gentleman sitting shrunken in front of him. The man's body was rather thin. But judging by the arrangement of his bones, he included a well-built man. A cloth bandage on his leg hinted that the man was injured.

"Why feet?"

The stone did not answer. He was still trembling and looking down in fear.

Reverend Andreas reached out to touch the foot of the Stone. But the man immediately brushed off and back inched further away.

"Agh ... Ughhhh!" Bertha came while carrying a package of shabby cloth. The parcel was given to the priest Andrew.

The priest gasped in surprise when he saw the folds of cloth inside the package. He took it and opened it. A striped pair of pants and t-shirts lay before him.

"Is this dress?" Reverend Andreas asked Bertha while moving his hands, making sign language.

Bertha nodded.

"Gee!" Reverend Andreas patted his own forehead. Back his eyes scanned the Stone that was still sitting curled up hiding a face. "Ko pu friend, soldier, Bertha," he hissed with a quivering voice.

***

Goa Stone hiding place suddenly crowded. Dozens of men in army uniforms were seen around the cave. Reverend Andreas himself seemed to talk to one of them.

"Thank you for the information, pastor," said the man in the uniform.

"Praise God, I'm so grateful that the person my foster son hid and cared for was a TNI member who went missing a few months ago." A smile spread on the lips of the priest Andreas.

"Actually we do not know the identity of the person concerned because of the amnesia he experienced. But I personally believe this person is Serka Janu Satria, a member of the Air Force's missing TNI Posthas," the commander of the force said.

"I believe that too." Reverend Andreas chimed. "Then what's the next plan, Commander?"

Suddenly pastor Andrew remembered something. "Aa. .. Look, Commander, if we're allowed, we'll go to Sentani."

"Oh, of course. For perhaps the testimony of the priest father and the girl will be needed later." The commander of the troops looked towards the Stone lying on the stretcher. Bertha continued to be beside him while the chance officer checked the condition of Batu.

"And again, the person concerned still seems to have a hard time separating from the girl."

Reverend Andreas confirmed the commander's remarks. Especially when he saw the frightened man looked calmer as Bertha stood by him and clasped his hands. Suddenly there was worry in the heart of the priest Andreas.

The stone was eventually evacuated from within the forest to a nearby military outpost with tight escort. Pastor Andrew and Bertha also participated. The stone itself really did not want to be far from Bertha. The man still looked confused and frightened. The questions related to Serka Janu Satria's identity, none of which he could answer. However, when Batu had cleaned his body, cut his hair and dressed in striped clothes, almost one hundred percent he was similar to the photo of Janu Satria.

"It seems that without any tests we've been convinced that she's Serka Janu Satria!" exclaim the commander of the army when he saw the new appearance of Batu.

"But in any case, the test must be done, Commander. Considering the amnesia." Pastor Andreas responded.

"Of course, pastor. It will be done after arriving at Sentani tomorrow."

"Oiya, there's one request of mine." Reverend Andreas sighed.

"What is that, father?"

'I beg Bertha later also in the pregnancy test."

"What?!" The commander was shocked. "Is .... what ...?"

The Reverend Andreas nodded. "This is just my suspicion. Because I see Bertha's physical condition is indeed experiencing changes. We need to convince with a pregnancy test."

Commandant lined up at the post post guard post. His hands were patting his head, confused and restless.

***

The next day Batu was evacuated to Sentani. Of course the Reverend Andreas and Bertha followed. Bertha was terrified when she was taken by helicopter. He sat down in the passenger seat. His face was pale, his body trembling.

The stone itself looks like a stranger to the vehicle. He looked calm and hugged Bertha's shoulder. The man tried to ease Bertha's fear.

Arriving in Sentani, Batu was immediately taken to the hospital. He underwent a series of tests, including treatment of his broken leg.

Meanwhile, as the priestess Andreas pleads, Bertha is taken to an obstetric polyclinic. There the girl also underwent an examination. Reverend Andreas himself waited outside in dismay.

"Pastor Father!"

The doctor's call breaks pastor Andreas' daydream. The middle-aged man walked over to the obstetrician. "How, doctor?"

The female doctor breathed. "Bertha's sister is pregnant. It's estimated that the fetus is sixteen weeks old."

Reverend Andreas was stunned. He immediately clung to the iron barrier in the hospital room. His eyes were twitching. The news really struck his heart.

Bertha, my son, what more pain will you go through?
