Just a little break

Just a little break
Wulan and Donny (Get But Lost)


The scorching morning was marred by the sound of bombs, gunfire, screams of pain and cries of loss. It's been almost fifteen years of civil war. This part of White City, already boisterous by the war liberated the city from the hands of the rebels.


Among the young soldiers was tucked away a valiant orphaned young man, Donny Al-Madyan. He's one of the best young soldiers, the vanguard position in this war. Along with nine other friends.


Unfortunately for her fate today. When the sun is getting higher, and the heat feels more stinging. He was shot in the upper right chest position, not deadly but deep enough. Fresh blood flowed from his body. He fell down and asked for help.


But what did he expect, because in fact all his friends in the vanguard had died first. He crawled weakly on the ground, between the blast of bullets and cannons. Withholding the blood from the gaping wound in his right upper chest, he shouted for help and help.


Another problem arose, there were already a few meters he crawled away from the battlefield, a sudden thirst attacking him. His throat was suffocating a very agonizing dry feeling. His consciousness was declining, in his eyes.


He saw his parents smiling at him. He saw the memories of when his father killed his mother before his eyes. Difficult childhood without parents and food, as well as adolescence full of struggle to become an elite troops.


And a faithful companion. Then, not long after that in a matter of seconds he fainted. Defeated by thirst and fatigue, but not lost by life.


Her morning. Government forces win. Rebel soldiers fled the city. Many victims fell from their side and the government. What about Donny's fate?


He was discovered by a beautiful girl, Wulan her name. She was just an ordinary village girl. Wulan asked the volunteers to take her to his house, because it was his house that was still intact around the city.


On that hot day, Wulan took care of Donny's wounds. Compressing it with water when the fever from the wound attacked his burly body. Thanks to Wulan's patience to care for him not long ago Donny realized.


The first word he said was water. Then he quickly gave her water. Slowly but surely Donny half-awakened, he stared at the look of Wulan's beautiful face.


“Am I dead? Then enter heaven until you can see the angel?” ask Donny.


In half-conscious conditions. Wulan smiled hearing that. He then explained that after the war was over, and won by the government. The commander of the army ordered to gather the fallen and buried soldiers in a proper manner.


For the living soldiers. Brought to emergency tents or houses residents who are still eligible to visit. To get treatment.


“Oh so. So I survived,” Donny said.


A moment of silence between them. Donny really wants to get acquainted, but he's embarrassed. It felt as if his tongue was moaning and the words he wanted to say evaporated away from his mind.


“My name is Wulan,” he said.


The girl introduced herself first. While extending a hand. And the sweet smile she always carried.


Oh God. Donny was shocked at heart. His heart beats faster. She did not expect the girl to even mention her name first.


Donny replied quickly Wulan's hand. Still in an awkward mood. They shake each other. That is when the love story begins.


Is it really a sacred love story? Is that true love? Was it just sheer lust or loneliness from being abandoned? Oh God, this is so hard to understand.


After his condition Donny fully recovered. The commander of the squad called him back to duty. Donny received the noble call, but before he went to the Capital. He asked for one week's permission to finish his important affairs.


Well, that affair is a plan to marry Wulan. He wanted to marry her with love. He wanted to buy and build a simple house with a beautiful orchid garden in his front yard.


Orchids are Wulan's favorite flower. Donny understands that. In front of his house as well, he wanted to plant a sturdy maple tree that was quite large. Add beauty and beauty to the house.


He was eager to give all of that to Wulan. And raise their children together, to get full of love and affection from parents. Things they haven't gotten since they were kids.


Unfortunately though. When he expressed his wish. It turns out that Wulan, still the legal wife of an ordinary fighter who helped defend her homeland, who did not know what her current condition was like. Either dead or alive.


Only one thing is certain. Wulan and her family were waiting. Until the certainty of the condition of her husband was found. The husband's name of Wulan is Huda. He's the leader of the army from his pro-government village.


Regret Donny? Sad Donyy?


Apparently not. Donny believes that Wulan loves him too. Only I was he constrained by religious customs and regulations. Donny who since childhood abandoned love and parental love, and has no one.


Know what he is about customs and religion? Even about love. Know what he is? A week passed. Now it's time for Wulan to let Donny go. With some soldiers from his village.


Wulan releases her at the train station that will take Donny to the Capital. On the way to the Wulan platform he was incessantly crying, and Donny unceasingly also comforted him with beautiful songs and encouragement for Wulan.


He promised, if he'd be okay. Promise, if one day they will unite. But, Wulan wasn't as innocent as Donny thought. His father and mother died when he was a child, by the invading army, when the country was still colonized by its neighbors.


He was taken care of by his uncle and brothers. He is also used to living a difficult life, until his mental and physical are quite honed. Since the time of the war erupted, his village was equipped with complete weaponry and troops that could be said to be quite great.


Because the village is strategic. He lies in the middle of the border between the sovereign territory of the government, and the territory of the rebels. So Donny can calmly leave Wulan, and must also remain cautious of any remaining rebels who may still be present.


At the same time, Wulan tells Donny that she is pregnant. Whahuh? Wulan's pregnant? Is this the fruit of their forbidden relationship all along? Gosh darn. What would happen if the uncle, the brothers and the parents of her husband knew. If Wulan is pregnant with another boy.


Gosh darn. It's very complicated. How shocked Donny is. Happiness and sadness come together. Songs gain and lose rave around it. I don't know where that song is, he doesn't know either. He can only say, “I promise you will return soon. Because I want to raise our children together. I want her to feel the affection of her parents, things we haven't had since childhood" Donny said.


Wulan could not say anything. He could only bow and cry. Donny who saw Wulan's tears begin to drip was painful, it felt like being slashed. How much Donny loves this girl.


This was the first time Wulan had ever cried again. After a long time she did not cry. The last time she cried was when her parents died.


“Don't cry baby. Please remove your tears. In the hot afternoon sun I will always remember you. Remember how we first met."


Donny hugged Wulan. With his warm embrace while kissing the forehead of his lover.


“Please wait for me faithfully. I must be back. I will marry you properly. Religious and religious. Then take care of our child together.”
