The September Tragedy
Nurul

After the burial of Buya Labay I nurul and ummi and her two other children, did not return to the lodge of Pak samsu. Now we are with other survivors living in tent shelters. Every time I pray I will be a prayer imam congregating with residents and volunteer teams who help search for victims. Like today

finished praying, I sat alone in a tent devoted to the place of worship.

"Your voice is melodious and your lafaz lafaz reading is very beautiful when you become a priest" said someone approaching me.

Thank you, Father, I said to the father.

"I am Gatot, the head of the volunteer team from the capital" he said, reaching out to shake hands with me.

"I am Nauval, Nauval Arkan sir "I answered while receiving a helping hand and he immediately sat down next to me.

What age are you and which school ? Ask mr. gatot.

I am only 16 years old and I go to school in P. I replied with a smile to Mr. Gatot.

"Oh city P, there are a lot of big people in this country who are heroes of that city" he told me.

Suddenly a strong-bodied man approached us.

"Report Ndan, a victim was found again" Gatot simply nodded and turned to me.

"Let's just keep the story going, I'm leaving Val first" he said as he dalalau accompanied by the strapping man who gave a report.

I was accompanying them from behind, who knows if one of my family was found. But my steps stopped because it had been blocked by Nurul.

"Val eat first, here I bring food for you" Nurul said as he handed the plate in his hand to me.

"I'm not hungry yet" I replied.

"Crau...Krauk..."

The worms in my stomach immediately revolted, even nurul smiled at me hearing a voice from my stomach. "Damn my stomach worms, do not want to be compact with my mouth" I swear in my heart.

"If you are lazy to eat let me take a bribe" said Nurul who had scooped rice and directed it my mouth, reflex me

open your mouth and call it.

While chewing the rice in my mouth, in the far corner I saw Anto who was looking at me with a fiery look. Aware of the incident, I took the plate that Nurul was holding.

"Let me eat my own brother" Shame on the people I said to nurul.

We just sit there val under a shady tree and there are several chairs, I accompany Nurul's steps to the place pointed by Nurul.

Ummi and your sister have you eaten ? I asked Nurul on the sidelines to eat me.

Already, they've eaten only you who belom eat val. You from earlier I tungu tungu did not come to eat together in a public kitchen.

"Oh I was again with Mr. Gatot, the commander of the volunteer team from the capital" I replied.

Brother has he eaten ? ask me to Nurul.

"Have been with ummi and my sister" said Nurul, smiling at me.

After finishing eating I still continue to talk with nurul, then Gatot sir came to us with his aide earlier.

"Do I disturb people who are dating" said Mr. Gatot immediately reached near me.

No sir, I replied as I glanced at the face of Nurul who was seen met with red restraining embarrassment to hear Gatot's words.

"Yes sir is just friends" said Nurul while a little manyun.

Introduce sir, this is Nurul his son Buya Labay whose body was found while holding the Koran yesterday.

Oh.., here is his son, the late Pak buya profity who yesterday his corpse while holding the Quran, beautiful ya val said Pak gatot while looking at me and smiling at me.

"I am very sorry" Gatot said as she reached out to Nurul.

Thank you sir while bowing your head in shame with a joke from Pak gatot just now.

"I am Roby his aide Pak Gatot in dealing with disasters" said the man with a sturdy body beside Mr. Gatot while extending his hand to Nurul.

Nurul took a quick glance at me before receiving Roby's hand.

After a long talk, I finally found out that Gatot was a high-ranking officer in the TNI and Roby was a Company Commander with the rank of battalion captain in the city where I was attending school.

The warm talk during it makes me a little forget my sadness, since then I'm Gatot and Roby getting closer and closer

familiar. We often spend time talking together.

Several days later, when I was having breakfast with Nurul at the usual place we met. Roby comes up to me, "Nauval will you accompany me to P City now ? There are some instructions from Gatot sir that I have to convey to the commander of the Battalion" Mr. Roby told me.

"Ready Captain, I said with an attitude like a member of the TNI while respecting Roby" Nurul to laugh seeing my actions.

"I borrowed your girlfriend today" Roby said, teasing Nurul and turning her face red.

"Maybe sir, as long as he is returned with a healthy walafiat and no less one anything" Nurul replied as he glanced at me.

I also smiled embarrassed to hear the words from the conversation Mr. Roby and Nurul.

"Let's Val we leave immediately, so we can quickly return here, Poor Nurul will be too long waiting for you" said Roby trying to tease Nurul again. I just smiled to see Nurul was wrong.

I say yes brother would accompany Mr. Roby first, Brother take good care of yourself here and please Salamin to ummi kak while I smile to nurul.

"Heart on the road and quickly return" said Nurul released my departure with a rather sad face.

Roby and I headed to the car Roby was driving. Before the car went by Nurul waved to me. His face looked sad, as if I had been gone for a long time and had never returned.

The car drove straight towards the city of P. The road looks stretch only a few vehicles that we meet on the road. On the side of the road many emergency tents stand made by residents around whose homes have been destroyed by the earthquake.

The car has arrived at the Battalion Battalion P.

Would you like to wait in the car or come with me to the office to see commander Val ? ask Roby before parking the car.

"I just want to go across the front of the pack to see the situation at my school" I replied while looking at the school.

"I'll be waiting for you here in an hour" Roby said as he rushed down from his car.

I immediately followed him down from the car.

"Pipe sir !"

After getting out of the car I walked to my school and I looked left and right still like a mess and a lot of trees fell.

I remember again when the earthquake yesterday, this is where I first felt a very powerful earthquake shake.is my friend's friend now okay ? In my mind when daydreaming in front of the school.
