REPLACEMENT MEN Season 2
THE RETURN OF THE LOST SOLDIERS

The results of a series of tests conducted, confirmed that the person found in the forests of Papua is Serka Janu Satria. This good news was immediately conveyed to the TNI headquarters in Jakarta and the Paskhas Corps Command headquarters in Bandung. Regardless of Janu's amnesia, all are relieved to hear it.

"What's Serka Janu's current condition?" ask the Commander in Bandung.

"Izin, the physical condition is quite good, only the injury of a broken leg still needs recovery. Regarding her psychic condition, she had severe amnesia. Absolutely no recollection of his identity and past, Dan!"

The commander sighed. "Regarding the mute woman who helped her, I heard she was pregnant?"

"Ready, Dan, right!"

"Is there any chance of Serka Janu getting pregnant?"

"It seems so. From her communication with the priest who found them, the girl said that they had been in a relationship ..., uh, permission, Dan, sorry."

The commander again exhaled heavily. His hand rubbed his head. "OKAY. This news should not be exposed by the media. Including his family, do not know first. Secure all the information about the girl!" commanding Officer's orders were firm. "As for the pastor's father, take him with Serka Janu. We'll need it later to give press release."

"Ready, Dan!"

"Please sergeant Janu directly to Jogja for health recovery at TNI AU central hospital. Let's meet his family soon!"

"Ready!"

Meanwhile in Sentani, Reverend Andreas confronts local military officials.

"Izin Commander, I am willing to come to Java but on condition," said Reverend Andreas with a serious look.

"What is that, priest?"

"Bertha must come!"

The local commander established the body. "Well, it's hard, Father. The leader has instructed not to involve the girl!"

"I promise I won't involve Bertha. I'll just take Bertha for me to take care of in my parish in Jogja. In any case, I cannot leave that child here in such a condition."

In the end Reverend Andreas was allowed to take Bertha along. Janu himself is still difficult to separate from Bertha. All the information regarding his true identity had not been fully received. She still considers herself Stone, Bertha's lover.

In Jogja, Pak Kusno's family expressed excitement when representatives from Paskhas came and told him about Janu's discovery. Mr. Kusno immediately prostrated himself in the living room, followed by his wife and son, Maira. The happy tears of Maira. The woman unceasingly uttered the phrase tahmid.

"Thank God, Yes Allaaah ...!" pekik glee Bu Kusno. He hugged Maira.

"So .. so when will my daughter-in-law be taken to Jogja, sir?" stammered, Mr. Kusno asked, while holding back his happiness.

"Fastly, Sir. But temporarily will be taken to the central hospital of TNI AU first."

Maira. "Is ... is my husband hurt?" tanyanya's worried.

"Serka Janu had a broken leg and is now in the process of recovery. He also has amnesia."

"Amnesia?!" peekot Maira's. "W-does he not-doesn't remember who he is?"

The Paskhas representative only sighed. "We'll know his exact condition once he gets here."

Maira is lined up in a chair. The hope that a moment ago soared high, now back crashing. Anxiety re-established his heart.

"Mai ...," hissed Bu Kusno, raucous. He held Maira's shoulder in his arms.

***

A few days later Janu arrived in Jogja. The man initially revolted when he was about to be separated from Bertha. But the priest Andrew persuaded him.

"You need to get treatment first in the hospital. Bertha let me take it to my place. Let him rest first after a long journey from Papua."

Bertha's condition is quite weak. He who has never boarded an airplane has a severe motion sickness.

"But, father, would it not be better for Bertha to also be taken to the hospital?" Janu clasped Bertha's hand, as their plane was about to land.

Getting off the plane, Janu is immediately separated from Bertha. Janu was immediately taken by the health team from the TNI.

"Father, don't take Bertha for long. Get him to me right away, father!" janu's message before she's taken by ambulance.

Bertha was leaning on the priest's shoulder. His body was limp lunglai. He was only able to stare at Janu with the look of his own eyes. There was a clear lightning in his net which a moment later fell down on his cheek.

Reverend Andreas just nodded his head crazily. Janu's hand was held before the gurney carrying him was pushed into the ambulance. While Janu was taken to the hospital, the priest and Bertha boarded a car that would take them to the pastor's residence in one of Jogja's suburban villages.

News of the discovery of Serka Janu has been circulating. But the media did not know that the man had been evacuated to the TNI hospital in Jogja. The guard for Janu is quite strict. It considers Janu's condition of amnesia. The media only knew information about Janu from the press conference given by the TNI's top leadership.

At the hospital, Janu was in the VVIP room. The man was still confused by his condition. The arrival of the top leadership of the TNI AU and its ranks a few moments ago did not make the confusion of the man unravel. He still cannot remember his identity.

Several times Janu was seen seeing TNI members guarding him in the room with suspicious eyes. Two members of the TNI rank serka and the sergeant tried to look as friendly as possible to Janu.

"You forgot about me?" ask one of them, while approaching Janu.

Janu who was sitting leaning on his bed, shook his head.

"I'm the Word, letting you." The man sat next to Janu's bed.

Janu kept shaking his head.

"We used to be one army when we entered the army. Along with educational opportunities. It's a shame when our assignment is different. You're in Bandung, I'm in Jogja."

All the words spoken by the Word were confusing to Janu. He had trouble finding the memory of what the man in front of him told him, but nil. No he found it in the head.

"I'm Batu" Janu lirih sizzled.

"Agh!" luh Firman's. "Have you forgotten your wife and children?"

"Wife, child?" Janu frowned.

"Oh my God, have you forgotten them too?!" Word widens the eyes. "Listen, they'll be here any minute. Hopefully by looking at them, you will remember who you are."

It is true what the Word says. Before long, the door of Janu's treatment room was opened from outside. Seen a TNI officer entered, followed by the family entourage of Pak Kusno and Bu Hartini.

It looks like Mr. Kusno, Bu Kusno who holds Hanin, Maira, Oza, Bu Hartini, and Wulan and her husband. Maira looks impatient. He immediately rushed over to bed Janu.

"Mas Januuu ...!" his screeches.

Oza doesn't want to lose. He ran behind his body. "Yeah ...!"

But their steps stopped when they found Janu who had a flat face when he saw them. The man's eyes looked confused.

"Mas, it's me, Maira, your wife!" Then Maira pulled Oza closer to Janu. "It's Oza, mas, our son." The woman turned to her mother who was holding Hanin. "And that's Hanin Hanina, Oza's sister. Your son, Mas!"

Maira eagerly tried to give information to Janu. He hoped Janu would soon be able to remember everything. But until the foaming mouth of Maira tried to explain who their family members were, Janu remained unmoved in confusion.

"You forgot about your wife, Mas?" Maira was almost desperate.

"Sorry" said Janu Lirih. "Who are you. Have we ever met?"

The deg!

Maira could say nothing more. The figure of Janu who adored and loved him, perished without a trace. That body and face was indeed Janu, but his soul did not belong to anyone.

"MAASS ...!!!" maira screamed hysterically and turned around, running out of the room.
