Nadia, The Indigo Girl
Chapter 22: releasing the spirit from the body

Hanson had arrived at the meeting place by inviting Nadia to participate, all the Dutch soldiers looked at Nadia with a face that was difficult to understand but Nadia just threw a thin smile from her lips that were polished red lipstick.

“Welkom, Lieutenant van Butjer.” Said one who seemed to be older than Hanson but of the same rank.

“Bedankt hoor, Lieutenant Der zind.” Hanson replies, the two Caucasian men shake hands without realizing Nadia's whereabouts are right behind Hanson.

Nadia walked behind the two of them who were having a warm conversation, the poor girl in the camp as if Hanson was busy with his friend.

 Nadia walked while bowing her head while looking at the many tall and large Europeans.

 Nadia can be categorized as tall because the height of the girl is 165 cm, very fitting for the height of Asian women or maybe more. 

The girl was wearing a beige dress with a black and beige mesh cap and Long hair that was at the half-stall and top of her braid.

All eyes looked at Nadia quite confused from their gaze, all of them assume that Nadia was from Inlander (Indigenous) or maybe among other Malay people.

Already seen from the face of the girl, a nose that can be said not sharp and the cheeks are stye.

Hanson was busy chatting with friends from his military while drinking wine so Nadia decided to surround this building, it is quite hot because this Batavia already so without AC or air conditioning where maybe today there is such a tool, such as, indeed, this meeting room is quite elegant and classy plus large lights on the ceiling of the building that only rely on candles for light.

They all chatted when Nadia wanted to take a lemon tart from the table she turned to the left side of it which made her rishi, how not the Dutch women who look the same age as him whisper as if talking about himself with Malay language but the accent of the Bule people.

“Who is he?” ask the woman holding the fan in a pink knee-length dress and a wide hat.

“New mistress is lieutenant Van buthjer.” Answer the woman on the left in a light blue dress along the ankle.

 “Oh, it looks like education.” Said the woman next to him in a salem dress.

“Entahlah, but still he inlander.” Said a woman who initially asked and then in the wake of her third laughter, Nadia who could not help but breathe deeply and then exited the building with annoyance while putting her lemon tart back.

“Basic ladies a*j*ing emang you on whom cave not afraid!” Nadia came out of the building with her own mouth.

Shortly when the girl was breathing the night air she saw from a distance while squinting she immediately rounded her eyes when she saw the Indigenous troops ready to attack quickly she went inside and searched Hanson's.

As her eyes looked at Hanson who was talking Nadia hurriedly towards Hanson, Nadia angrily snatched the wine glass from Hanson's hand.

“You're feeling good stuffing!!” nadia's words made the men in the military look angry.

“The enemy troops want to attack!!! I was out!!” touch the faces of the men directly at the stiffening.

“You can think I'm a liar!! now to the armory!! maybe they're after guns!!” said the fiery Nadia. The other broke the fog and ordered all of them to the Armory.

”But not everyone is afraid of the natives attacking here!! come all beware of every door.” Nadia's words were justified by the young officers, the women who had been insulting Nadia became astonished by the girl's speech that made her become chaotic.

 Nadia asks Hanson to give her a gun. “Hanson give me one gun.” Nadia Pinta.

“Niet!!” reject Hanson and sure enough from the outside heard the sound of gunfire of the native troops had entered the hall that made the Dutch women scream in fear.

“Hanson quickly give me one gun!!” pinta Nadia was already really angry.

But Hanson ignored her completely and ran to attack with a gun, Nadia also ran to rescue Dutch women to get to safety.

“Come here!!” nadia shouted at the women who were following and there was a bodo period. The women who according to Nadia input in a safe room.

“Quiet everything here safe!” nadia said to the girls. Although from the outside still heard the sound of gunfire that made fear.

“You guys stay here, I'll come out to save another woman!!” said Nadia who immediately ran out the door before exiting one of the women in salem dress and wearing a wide hat pulled Nadia's hand.

“Wait!! what's je's name?” ask one of the women who had been insulting Nadia.

 “My name is Nadia.” Nadia said briefly in English because she did not understand Dutch. After they smiled at each other Nadia opened the doorknob and ran out.

Nadia ran and was shown the sight of many Dutch women who were injured and some who had died due to bullets, he said, the injured took Nadia to the same place where she evacuated the Dutch women to the same room.

When opening the doorknob the women also helped bring the woman whose arm was injured.

“Madame you are here first.” Nadia calmed the woman who was whimpering in pain.

“There is someone who has a handkerchief or cloth I asked for help.” Pinta Nadia to all the women. One of the ladies with side braid hair and a deep purple dress advanced she looked already middle-aged, and handed her a handkerchief, then used Nadia to stop the blood that kept coming out.

“Madame hold a little I'll take out his bullet this will hurt a lot.” His speech. 

“Shut your mouth with your hands like this so that the natives do not hear or know where we are.” Nadia.

“AAAAKH!!” he shouted while smothering his mouth after Nadia took out the bullet he stopped the blood flowing with a handkerchief that was given by the bule woman earlier.

“This will only help you to stop the blood coming out.” Said Nadia, when her blood had stopped all the women looked to an inlander girl whom they initially looked in disgust to be amazed, to be amazed, then Nadia again helped memapah Bule woman to lean the woman's body to the wall and straighten her legs.

“Madame I'm sorry for not being able to heal your wounds completely. I can only stop the blood coming out.” Nadia.

Nadia had been a boy scout and taught how to heal gaping wounds and blood that continues to flow she was taught by her brother in the 8th grade Junior High now she is in the 9th grade Junior High and wants to graduate.

“What's wrong, thanks for saving ik.” Her speech.

“We are here first until safe.” Nadia told all women.

“Who is the name je?” ask the woman Nadia saved.

“Nadia.” He said briefly while smiling faintly.

“Kalo your name who is madame?” ask Nadia back.

“Mijn is Elsje.” Saying Elsje in Dutch.

“Beautiful name like its owner.” Praise Nadia.

“Thanks.” Said the woman with a smile. 

Shortly after the safe state Nadia came out for a while to take drinking water while checking the situation.

When it opened it was safe because there was no sound of gunfire heard, he was looking for Hanson.

He was afraid Hanson was in one of the piles of corpses lying on the floor he had just been with Hanson and would not willingly have to be separated a second time from Hanson.

Nadia saw the rescuers coming she yelled calling them all European-faced and Indo-Dutch mix, “the women in the room.” Show Nadia upstairs and one of the rooms.

The women and children were taken out of the room. The women who survived because of input by Nadia to a safe place and some are hiding in other safe places, every woman was asked by the military what her husband's name was and recorded, he said, Nadia looked for Hanson she did not see at all one by one uniformed soldier in question but just looked at him cynically.

Until the end one of the women tells that Nadia who saved them all including the daughter of the lieutenant general de wotcher, Elsje.

“Nyai!” military officers approached and began to ask, making Nadia turn her head trying to smile while hiding her panicked face.

“Who is the name of Mr je?” his words in Malay language foreign dialect but very friendly.

“My name is Nadia sabrina.” Nadia plain.

When everything is removed from the Building the husbands are also in front of them to hold each other and cry haru while the wife or husband is not just crying sad.

The floor was filled with piles of corpses lying around, Nadia walked straight to find a seat and could only resign.

The girl was surprised when her shoulder was patted by someone, “Nadia sabrina, Lieutenant van buthjer there.” Said one of the soldiers in military uniform with green barret Nadia immediately stepped up happy but he saw Hanson not looking for him and worried about Elsje who was carried on a stretcher.

“Hanson..ELsje.” Said Nadia who made the two look over.

“Nadia..” Elsje said with a smile, Nadia looked down with a cream net hat to cover her sad face.

“You know each other.” His father Elsje said.

“Papa he saved me.” Said Elsje whose wound was being treated.

Nadia was initially afraid she was looking down but her father Elsje who was wearing a uniform full of badges walked over, and thanked her with a smile.

“Elsje what is Hanson your lover?” asked Nadia who looked at each other desperately hoping that her answer would not be.

“I have no feelings but Hanson has long harbored feelings for me.” Said Elsje honestly.

“Oh, if so may you be happy.” Nadia said with a smile on the force.

“I'm sorry Menner and Madame.” Nadia does not know how to greet someone in Dutch she wants to call Elsje miss but is afraid of being wrong.

Nadia ran out of treatment with tears running unstoppable, Hanson was cruel when she searched and worried about Hanson he was engrossed with other girls.

 “Nadia!!! Nadia!!” Hanson ran after Nadia who was already disappointed.

Nadia instead sat on a staircase that was a bit far from many people but Hanson seemed to lose track, but one of Hanson's friends approached Nadia who was sitting leaning on the stairs.

“Je what are you doing here?” the sound made Nadia look over.

“You're friends Hanson.” Nadia then wiped her tears.

“Jaa!” the answer.

“Mijn naam is Willem.” The man introduced himself, Nadia shook the hand of this blond and green-eyed man with doubt.

“Nadia.” He spoke briefly and smiled.

“Why are you crying here?” Willem.

“What did I do han..” Nadia's words were interrupted when Willem brought her face closer to him.

“What Hanson hurt you?” ask Willem.

“Sinyo I'm fine. But if I could ask you?” nadia said, trying to be careful.

“Ask only.” After getting permission to ask Nadia started asking a question.

“You know Elsje, son of Lieutenant General?” said Nadia.

“Jaa, ik know her pretty many co-workers ik who talk about the girl.” Willem.

 “Did Hanson have a special relationship I mean.” Nadia's words were cut off by Willem.

“J**aa including Hanson also likes Elsje.” Willem. Nadia exhaled Tired and then smiled forcefully.

 “You also didn't think he was just playing me.” Nadia said, Willem smiled there was a hidden plan in the hearts and minds of this young man. 

Nadia thought that Hanson's friend wanted to work with him to separate Hanson and Elsje, or also play tricks on him but it's all just Nadia's accusation that can only judge this person.

  “Ik wants je...” Willem's sentence is interrupted when Nadia cuts him.

“Willem I do not want to do evil by separating between Elsje and Hanson, let Hanson alone choose.” Said Nadia with teary eyes like holding back tears.

Willem smiled with this girl his way of speaking was smooth and polite.

“I should also go maybe Hanson is looking for me.” As Nadia wanted to rise to her feet Willem held onto her wrist. At that moment Hanson came and saw everything.

“Nadia!!” call Hanson, Nadia immediately lowered her head.

“Nadia is familiar, Willem. And what are you two doing here?!” hanson with eyes.

 “We just knew each other.” Nadia said briefly. Shortly two Dutch mistress who had been saved Nadia came to Nadia and Hanson and Willem friends.

“Nadia.” Said the master in a light green dress.

“Madame.” Nadia bowed her feet a sign of politeness, that's just she saw in the western movie in the movie app.

“Hanson what is he..” Anna's speech was interrupted Hanson replied quickly.

“My fiancee's candidate. I'll tell lieutenant colonel gorthen your husband.” Reveal Hanson as he wrapped his right hand around his waist.

“Madame happy to see you again.” Nadia.

“Oh, Nadia name only ik, do not hesitate.” His speech.

“Je very great.” Said one of the men in a dark blue dress.

“It's my duty to save others.” Said Nadia while looking down.

“I'll tell my boss to have a wedding.” Hanson in dutch.

“How about Elsje.” Said Nadia who worried about the blonde girl.

“We decide only friends.” Hanson.

“Friends! je said just wanted to play around with Nadia, Hanson.” Reveal Willem while tilting his red and thin lips.

“Nadia I want to take you to tea tomorrow afternoon at my house.” Take Anna Gorthen.

“Of course your husband Madame Lieutenant Colonel must be looking for you. Looks like I'm so dizzy I have to go home.” Nadia said with a pale face.

“Hanson if you still want here I'll go home by myself.” Nadia said subtly.

“Nadia let us take you?” bargain Willem.

“Let's go home together, Nadia!” hanson said by grabbing Nadia's arm, the girl immediately suffocated in shock.

“How about your assignment here?” said Nadia.

“Many vrieden(friends) ik already home.” Hanson said tightly while gripping Nadia's wrist tightly towards the car, on their way home, the two of them fought and cheated incessantly about Elsje and Willem's co-worker Hanson.
