Dear Lieutenant

Dear Lieutenant
The Papua - 6 task force


Raisya opened the letter given by Rayyan. Raisya's eyes are already glazed. He regretted taking Rayyan.


The contents of the letter:


Assalamualaikum Raisya,


Raisya, this is my big brother who wants a job in papua. Pray for my brother, hopefully everything is smooth, congratulations to the destination and good luck when you get home. I'm sorry if you have a wrong with Raisya. For 15 days before the task force, the brother solidified with training. So sister can't go home. As long as you are not there, take good care of yourself... Sorry you can't take care of you.


Wassalamualaikum


Rayyan Alfatihi


****


Raisya cried seeing this letter. A short letter Rayyan wrote to him. But, if she gets a letter, her sister gets a letter too. Raisya went straight downstairs and headed towards Aisyah's room.


"chaa... Cha.." call Raisya while knocking on the door of Aisyah's room.


"open up, not locked" cried Aisyah from the inside.


"Cha... Brother Rayyan left when the hell?" ask Raaisya curious.


"the 5th of April"


"uhuh?"


"yes, why?" aisyah asked confusedly with her shocked sister.


"i'm UN April 5 loh cha." said Raisya.


"yes continue?"


"kor"


"uh, are you given a letter not the same brother Rayyan?" ask Raisya


"no"


"sister beloved? What's contents?" ask Aisyah.


Raishapun gave his letter to Aisha. Aisha read her letter slowly and tried to understand the meaning of the letter. There was one sentence that made Aisyah shocked.


"sister, that means 'sorry big brother can't take care of you' What?" ask Aisyah


"don't know" Raisya's cry broke.


Actually he also loves Rayyan and he does not want to lose Rayyan. Actually little heart Raisya did not want Rayyan to be a soldier, but maybe this was fate. Because, the grandfather of Raisya also died from duty.



When Raisya was 5 years old, his grandfather promised Raisya and his family would go to Bali. But after his grandfather left for the task force. Raisya waited for his grandfather to come home. However, when she was forced to go home to school. His grandfather died. Grandpa Raisya's plane crashed and was destroyed. All who were in the plane died. Grandfather included.


Raisya doesn't want to lose anymore.

Battalions


Rayyan and his friends had lunch in front of the battalion. It turns out Rayyan forgot not to bring a cell phone and Rayyan forgot to put it where. Rayyan was confused and looked for her bag but nothing.


"why Yan?" zaki asked, seeing Rayyan bewildered.


"hp cave" Rayyan replied half in panic.


"why?" ask Dandi Rayyan's friend.


"gue didn't bring it, I also forgot where naro was" lamented Rayyan.


"aduuuh, yaudah eat first. God willing, it's safe to be around the battalion, right?" said Dandi.


"yes anyway"

Inside the battalion


"kringg..."


Rayyan's HP sounded because there was a call. Yudha just came out of captain Ditto's room, she heard a cell phone ringing. But, when he saw his cell phone die, no one called him. Yudha walked again looking for the source of the voice. He saw the phone didn't know who it belonged to. Yudha saw someone calling. Yudha did not dare to take it for fear that it belonged to her senior. Yudha peeked at who was calling.



(More or less photos like that guys, sorry I don't have a model:))


"weh! Beautiful time" Yudha said when looking at the profile photo wa Raisya.


"take no well, but be afraid" muttered Yudha.


Finally Yudha took it and handed it to the summoning center.


Yudha is very relieved, hopefully the owner will find her soon.

After eating, Rayyan immediately returned to the battalion intending to look for his HP. While walking with his friend, he was suddenly patted by someone. Turns out it was Ardi, one of his friends.


"bang Rayyan, you're missing a cell phone?" ask Rayyan.


"yes, you know?" Rayyan asked back.


"brother's phone is in the call center. Yudha brought it" replied Ardi.


"Chandra Angkasa Wirayudha, is a squad of brothers" said Ardi


"oh okay, thank you" Rayyan said as she patted Ardi on the shoulder and immediately rushed to the summoning center.


When at the summoning center, Rayyan immediately asked for his HP. And sure enough, the phone is there.


Rayyan saw there were 5 missed calls from Raisya. Rayyan just smiled looking at him.


After from the summoning center, Rayyan returned to the barracks. He was going to call Raisya. When Rayyan called, Raisya langsubg answered.



"assalamualaikum" said Rayyan began the conversation on the phone.


"sister..." Raisya immediately cried hearing Rayyan's voice.


"uh... Kok nangis, don't cry." said Rayyan to calm Raisya.


"brother duty on the UN, akh want to be escorted by his sister to go to school" whined Raisya.


"yes, there is a father" Rayyan said


"brother sorryin Acha." said Raisya wept even more.


"yes yes, don't cry. Learn the real thing" Rayyan said, calming Raisya down.


"big brother² well, take care of yourself well²" Raisya said as she held back tears.


"yes you too" said Rayyan softly.


"yeah brother, it was already wassalamualaikum" closed Raisya


"Waalaikumsalam" Rayyan replied.


When calling, Rayyan saw a friend who was alone. Her friends are busy with her cell phone. Rayyan.


"oiitts... Alone!" rayyan said while patting her shoulder.


"get ready" he said. He looked at the phone Rayyan was holding. He remembered that it was the phone he found in the front room of Captain Ditto earlier.


"please get permission, is that the commander's phone?" ask her.


"yes, this is my phone. Why?" ask Rayyan.


"so I found the phone in front of Captain Ditto's room" he replied.


"ohh, you're Yudha right?"


"get ready" Yudha replied firmly.


"already, don't call me commander, call Rayyab. We're the same age, just different ranks. But if in front of others we call I must be commander" said Rayyan.


"so I saw somebody call, that's a girlfriend?" asked Yudha looking for a topic.


"oh, no. That's my sister, I called back. Why?" Rayyan asked back.


"no, beautiful" said Yudha


"call the commander again. I really don't like being called a commander. The effect was that I was too powerful, too old" Rayyan said with a chuckle.


"how many brothers are you?" rayyan asked Yudha.


"i was the last of 5 children. I used to have a sister, but 2 years ago when I was educated she died in an accident. He looks the same brother" explained Yudha a little teary.


"sorry, so confide" said Yudha.


"ohh, sorry². Don't cry dong, knights can't cry" Rayyan gave reinforcement to Yudha.


"no bang, just sad if Inget adek. Who's namanga's brother?" ask Yudha.


"his name is Raisya, Raisya Hermia Putri. What's your sister's name?" answer Rayyan.


"the name is almost like bang" said Yudha making Rayyan look at Yudha.


"Naisya, Naisya Keyra Princess" Yudha added with a bow.


"well, don't be sad. You can think of your brother as your brother too. I'll introduce you to the task force later" Rayyan comforted Yudha.


"want to see your sister's picture?" ask Rayyan


"nih bang" replied Yudha while showing Rayyan a photo.



Indeed, Yudha's younger brother was very similar to Raisya. His age was only one year different.

Papua Task Force


The day the task force arrived. Rayyan and his entourage headed straight to the nearest airfield. Only prayer can Rayyan pray and hope to return home safely.


In class, Raisya was very agitated considering his brother who left for the task force today. Raisya is doing a National exam. But he wasn't focused. 90 minutes to answer questions, 20 multiple choice questions and 10 essay questions. Because Raisya daydreams a lot, it's only 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the matter he has not done there are 15 as well. Raisya immediately hurriedly filled out an answer. Yesterday night Raisya couldn't focus on studying because she was thinking about her brother.


Returning home from school, Raisya was very relieved to have passed two National exam subjects. It was a lesson that Raisya did not like, IPS and PKN.  Raisya prefers IPA math and science lessons.


Raisya put his body in a mattress. Raisya overslept because of too many thoughts.
