LOVE FOR FOUR SOLDIERS
LETKOL MARUAP SIMANJUNTAK POLICE

East Jakarta Police Office, one afternoon in 1990.

Lt Col Maruap Simanjuntak closely observes the map of Lampung province. He circled a point a few times. He thought for a long time before finally speaking.

"So, how's that place really doing, No?"

"Ready, Commander! Very vulnerable, Ndan! Some of Polwil Lampung's colleagues tell how troublesome they are if again besieged, Ndan!"

"What new information is there about the Muhaji group?"

"Four more Muhaji accomplices in the area! They all have mistresses. Si Muhaji has not seen the trunk of his nose, Ndan! But, Muhaji always gathers its members there, Ndan! You see, that place borders the province of Lampung and the province of South Sumatra, Ndan! There's a rat road that's hard to track, Ndan!"

"Simply, they're hard to catch!"

"No, you tell Lampung Police that we will arrest the Muhaji group! Ask all the things you can! The smallest information!"

"Ready, Ndan! Please allow us to move, Ndan!"

Maruap nodded his head. Captain Sudarno hurried to leave his command room.

"You guys, keep monitoring the movement of the Muhaji! Carefully act! Don't let our informant get caught! Ask the daily lives of the wives of the stash of Muhaji's men!"

Maruap gave orders to a number of his men who were still with him.

Two major problems faced Maruap simultaneously. First, a plan to raid a group of sadistic criminals who robbed a wholesale businessman's house of daily necessities and killed the businessman, his wife, and his three children. They're too violent. Boiling Maruap blood when visiting TKP. He shed tears looking at the bodies of the three children. He immediately remembered his wife Farida who was pregnant with their first child. Prospective children who managed to grow up in Farida's womb after six years they were married and Farida miscarried twice. Farida is both a problem. Gynecologists tell them if Farida is having serious pregnancy problems. Gynecologists watch Farida in order to maintain her condition. Thankfully, Farida kept the advice. She was self-disciplined so that in her pregnancy entering the ninth month, her condition was quite stable. However, Maruap was afraid of facing the possibility if he could not accompany his wife during the process of giving birth. The plan to ambush the group of savage criminals must be carried out no later than the middle of this month. Not much different from the time of Farida's prediction of childbirth. Even so, Maruap felt calm because his sister-in-law, Koes Andrina, wife of his sister, Maraden Simanjuntak, promised to be present when Farida was about to give birth, out of her obstruction or not she accompanied.

Sudarno faced back in the afternoon. Tension appeared on Maruap's face and the team members. Tonight, they have to go to Lampung. Muhaji appearing! Team equipment prepared. Their friends in Lampung are on standby. Farida called from Maraden's house.

"Be careful, Bang! They're very dangerous!"

Maruap tried to calm his wife.

"Yes, Da! You're fine too! Finish this, Brother back in Jakarta meet you! Pray for your brother, Da!"

Farida was picked up by Maraden from her home. Maraden decides his brother-in-law stays with them during his brother's service. He did not want anything to happen that jeopardized the safety of his brother-in-law and future nephew. Arvina, the little girl of the two-year-old Maraden family, faithfully accompanied her host. He often sat on Farida's lap. Arvina's little hug always calmed Farida down.

Maruap and his team arrived at the port of Baheuni at midnight. They were picked up by several fellow policemen dressed in civilian clothes. The gripping atmosphere was seen during a coordination meeting at the Lampung Polwil headquarters. Muhaji's gang killed three policemen, prompting the group's planned freeze to draw attention from police colleagues. In fact, Kapolwil was involved in the ambush plan.

The roar of the engine of ten Kijang cars broke the silence of the night. Every passenger looks serious. They don't talk much. The sound of walkie-talkie alternating sounds was heard reporting detailed movements of the targets. At one place, three cars stopped, while seven other cars continued their journey. Get out any passengers wearing bulletproof vests. Five men stand guard while ten hands holding a gun play the role of hunters. They walked through the dark forest, the fastest way to the location. All other points will be surrounded by their friends who are in seven cars. The hunters split up as soon as they set foot on the hunting ground. There is only one village street light so that it benefits the hunters. Maruap, two of his men, and one colleague of Polwil Lampung sneaked closer to one house. Suddenly, one sentence in Lampung was shouted. Fellow from Polwil Lampung immediately berated his annoyance. Maruap did not understand the language, but she understood something bad happened. He told his men to follow Polwil Lampung's colleagues who ran to the West.

The sound of Kapolwil was heard many times through loudspeakers persuading Muhaji to surrender. Meanwhile, Maruap and Sahat chase Muhaji who recklessly ran fast in front of the eyes of the officers towards an X-King motorcycle. Maruap's orders were ignored by Muhaji. Muhaji manages to get on his bike and leads into the forest-

"Bad! He's veering. He didn't go into the woods! He knows who's waiting!"

Unwilling to let his villain escape, Maruap fired one of his famous shots. Muhaji slammed from a motor that was traveling at high speed. The motor stopped after hitting a large tree. Maruap approaching Muhaji. Four people followed him behind. Muhaji is in pain. Two police officers holding Muhaji who smiled cunningly when going to handcuffed Polwil Lampung colleagues. Maruap saw that evil smile. He also knew that Muhaji's right hand was in his pants pocket. Maruap pushed his partner. It happened fast. The maruap fell on the ground. One bullet went through his forehead.

In Jakarta, distressed Farida thinks her husband is causing her uterus to contract. Farida was taken to hospital. The labor process has to be done. Maruap and Farida's baby girl was born on the day her father died. Farida eventually died out of energy. Maraden's family took care of her and named the baby girl Arvida.
