A Footstep Of Gaza

Lucid

Gaza's arrival especially is welcomed with more respect after returning from his duty. Been years of migrating to a third country, he is longing for his hometown. He takes an annual leave for thirty days. Before he returns to Mysiq, he says goodbye at first to Bryan and picks his dog up.

"Let's go, Zeru"

By riding a white car he is on the way to Mysiq. In the outskirt of town before entering Mysiq, he is impressed by a postcard in the west accompanies by ownership in the name of Dan. It reminds him of a CEO of a company he used to do an internship. But when he passes by Gaza's international airport, out of the blue a high-speed car is about to hit him. Gaza swerves his car and almost hits a tree. The driver stops right next to Gaza's car and he opens his car window. He wears a sunglasses and fedora hat while pipe smoking gaze at Gaza then leaves.

Gaza turns around his car then he follows the mysterious man. Until he arrives at a house which is fenced by some bushes. From a distance, he sees several people in the house are pointing guns at Gaza's car windscreen. Actually he has a bulletproof car but he realizes it's a foreign place. He may go too far, so he drives away from the place soon.

He goes back through the same road which is opposite the international airport. There he is suprised by a middle-aged man in a black suit standing in the green field heading to the airport. He walks towards him then the man turns around.

"Mr. Jacob. What are you doing here?"
"Hey Gaza, I can't believe we meet here. I'm just astonished at this airport, it defines truly grandeur"
"My grandpa has built this airport so we can travel faster especially go abroad"
"What if you bring me to your grandfather? I'd like to meet him, he must be an incredible person"
"He is" Gaza answered with proud.

(Mr. Jacob takes a strand of Gaza's long brown hair sticks to his hat)

"Excuse me, there is a hair on your hat"

Gaza is gladly to take him to meet his grandfather, Jacob gets in his car and follows up Gaza. When he enters the rural he is mesmerized by the houses which stand majestically, like a miracle that hasn't been discovered yet. But he gets more wonderstruck by Gaza's mansion so makes Jacob can't wait to meet his grandfather. However, suddenly he receives a call then says goodbye to Gaza.

Throughout the weariness he's been through. In his bed, he is imagining of giving a birth of new soldiers, as he doesn't want to be a soldier alone in his city.

He starts to create a training program called "GZ Army" which aimes 18-year-old youths. It's open to his residents only, but he puts his neighbors first. He hopes he aim of making them know the military world early. When the target is collected, Gaza must be registered the candidates to the government first before join training.

He also equips a training ground with medical experts and his handmade sophisticated equipments. They are taught by his first-hand how to fire a gun, breathe under cloud of gas, and participate in battles, roll over, crawl, up to trick tactics.

"Be a martyr. At least be afraid of dying when you fall asleep. Take a deep breath, as long as the oxygen is free"

In a short time, his program attracts more people to join. He also cooperates with another army to develop the program. There Gaza falls in love with a woman soldier who is able to calm Gaza's heart when he looks at her. Since then he is so busy with the program makes him less together with his grandfather. Of the many things that have changed, he thanks to the citizens who helps his dream come true. Gaza is really happy that his knowledge can be taught to others.

The program has reached out the ears of his relatives. They fully support the program and hope for the best of Gaza. He is covered in various news, even he becomes the spotlight of foreign media. For weeks, he becomes a trending topic.
