- xx, xx, 2008.

A man with a muscular body, and a typical military hairstyle, complete with special military clothing, was standing in front of the door of a room.

On the person's clothes, an emblem is attached to the chest of the person's clothes, indicating that the person has the rank of Captain in the military.

*Tok~Tok~Tok~*

The person immediately knocked on the door of the house, and after waiting for a while, a voice from inside the room told the person to come in.

Hearing the voice telling him to come in, the person straightened his uniform first, before grabbing the door handle and opening the door.

Entering the room, Taufik saw someone quite old sitting, wearing glasses while reading a document in his hand.

*Salute!*

The person immediately saluted the person who was sitting; the emblem on the military uniform of the person shows two stars, which makes the person's rank in the military a Major General.

The Major General just nodded his head while still reading the document in his hand. Seeing the Major General nodding, the person immediately lowered his hand and then asked the Major General.

"... Sir, I heard you calling me"

"..."

Said the person, but the Major General was still busy reading the document, so the person could only remain silent while waiting for the Major General to finish reading the document.

After waiting for a while, the Major General finally lowered the Document and then took off his Glasses.

"... Captain Marzuki Hidayat... After reading your Biodata, I have one thought, it's... Your Life is quite Interesting, very Interesting life"

"..."

"...

After you graduate from high school You immediately register to enter the military academy and successfully graduate with the highest grades, after graduating you are immediately appointed as a Second Lieutenant, and from there you quickly rise to the rank of Captain in a very short time, had participated in the Mapenduma liberation operation and several other operations, which ended in great success....

however, your rank was stuck at Captain, why is that, Captain Marzuki Hidayat? Do you have a Reason for that?"

Said the Major General while looking at Marzuki Hidayat, the father of Taufik D'Archy Hidayat.

"... I don't have any particular reason for that, sir, it just proves how far I'm capable of"

Marzuki said without showing any change in expression.

Seeing this, the Major General just looked at Marzuki with an evaluating gaze, and not long after that, the Major General smiled.

"I see, so you that kind of person..."

Said the Major General which made Marzuki tilt his head in confusion.

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

Marzuki asked, but instead of answering, the Major General took a document from his desk drawer.

"Read this"

Said the Major General, and hearing the order from the Major General, Marzuki stepped forward and took the document, then read it.

"... This is?..."

"It's Something that will prove how capable are you as a Soldier, pick a few capable Soldiers from your Battalion, and with them, you will do this operation"

"..."

Marzuki did not answer and just read the document further.

The contents of the document are a mission to escort a group of researchers to research a pyramid-shaped building found in Antarctica in 1910-1913, which, according to researchers, has a connection to the void century.

There are no specific orders mentioned in the document, only to accompany the researchers in carrying out their research.

After reading the contents of the document, Marzuki felt a strange feeling, but he did not know what the meaning behind the strange feeling was.

"How?... Are you done reading it?"

"... Yes, Sir"

"So...what do you think? Do you feel capable of carrying out that mission?" Ask the Major General.

"... Is it an Order, Sir?"

"I don't want to sound like I'm forcing you, because this mission will take quite a long time, but yes, this is an order"

"I understand, okay, I will accept this mission"

Said Marzuki, who then handed the document back to the Major General.

"Good, you can bring this document, tomorrow, gather ten capable soldiers from your battalion, brief them about the mission you will be carrying out, and the next day, you will immediately depart together with the researchers"

Said the Major General, and hearing that, Marzuki took back the document and then saluted back to the Major General, and then left the room.

After Marzuki left the room, the Major General took the telephone from his desk and then contacted someone.

And the person the Major General contacted was the Head of those researchers.

The Major General informed the chief researcher about the news of the mission he proposed.

"... But, are you sure, this going to be end alright?"

'Don't worry, General; As said, If this research is successful, then we will be the first to uncover the secret behind the void century; our country will be the first in the world. Can you Imagine it, General?'

"*Sigh* all you Researchers are Crazy... But being the first in the world does sound quite tempting, I just hope this not going to end with something bad"

'Don't worry general, I have gathered the best researchers in our country, I am sure we will be successful'

"... Okay, I believe in you, I can only pray for your success"

'Understand, left it to us, general, I will bring glory to our country'

"..."

Hearing that, the Major General did not say anything and just smiled; after that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the Major General leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath.

"... I hope this all ends well"

----------------

After leaving the room, Marzuki then returned to his battalion, which is located not too far from the main base of the Indonesian National Army which is located in Tarakan.

On the way there, Marzuki kept thinking about the strange feeling he had earlier; without realizing it, his shift was over, and he immediately returned to his house using his two-stroke Ninja motorbike.

When entering the area of ​​his house, Marzuki immediately turned off his motorbike, because the sound of the exhaust was a little noisy, so he was used to doing this when entering the area of ​​his house, so as not to disturb the neighbors around who in the afternoon like this must be at their respective homes.

When he arrived at his house, He was immediately greeted by Taufik, who was still six years old.

"Dad!!"

Seeing Taufik smiling while running towards him, Marzuki put aside his previous thoughts, smiled, and opened his arms wide to lift Taufik up high, which made Taufik laugh.

"... How's your day, my little Soldier?"

Hearing Marzuki's question, Taufik showed an enthusiastic face and then said to his father in an equally enthusiastic tone.

Little Taufik then began to tell his father how he spent his day.

Marzuki, who heard his son telling the story, could only nod pretending to understand, because he could not understand what his son was saying at all because of how fast he was telling the story.

"A-ahh~ I see... That's good if so, then where's your mom?"

"Mom? She is in the kitchen preparing food"

"Food? Why so fast? Dinner is still a long way off, what is she preparing food for?"

Marzuki said while looking at Taufik in confusion, but Taufik also looked at his father with the same confused look as his father.

"... Mom said that today is a special day, hmm~...

Taufik hummed while raising both his hands as if he were counting.

... Today is not a birthday"

Said Taufik who was increasingly confused while tilting his head.

"... So what special day is it, Dad?"

"..."

Hearing his son's question, Marzuki also tilted his head in thought, and then a thought crossed his mind.

Instantly, Marzuki showed a panicked face.

"Ahh!... Shit"

"Ahh... Shit?"

Taufik said, following what his father said.

Marzuki immediately quickly lowered Taufik back to the ground and then grabbed both of his shoulders.

"Son... Hear me out, I will go now, and I will be back later, so don't tell your mom that I was here, okay?"

Marzuki said in a very serious tone, and Taufik could only nod his head.

"... I'll do that, Dad, I promise"

"..."

Hearing what his son said, Marzuki felt a little doubtful whether his son would do what he said, so he took a deep breath and then looked at his son with a serious face.

"Heard me, son; I will tell you something very important for us as a man, do you want to hear it?"

Seeing his father's serious face, Taufik nodded his head.

"So it's like this... Son, always remember, when you start something, you have to watch it till the end. We, the Man are not judged by our words but by our actions, so Finish what have you started... So don't just make a random promise like that, because promises can still be broken... but take action right away, So, once again, I say, Don't tell your mom that I was here, okay?"

"I prom-"

"Aiss! What I said before?"

"..."

Hearing that, Taufik remembered what his father had just said, then said.

"... We, the man are not judged by our words but by our actions"

Hearing that, Marzuki nodded in satisfaction and then smiled at Taufik, said.

"So?"

"... I will say to Mom that you were not here, I will definitely do it"

"That's my Son... Now go inside the house, act like nothing happened, and don't say anything until your mother asks the questions first, okay? And don't tell her that I was here, okay?"

Marzuki said, and Taufik nodded his head again, and then immediately went into his house.

Seeing this, Marzuki could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"... Will he do as he's told? Ahh~ forget about that and let's go find something as a gift... *Sigh* How could I forget that today is our anniversary"

Said Marzuki, who then pushed his motorbike quite far from his house before starting his motorbike.
