POV Karim

I am still lying in the hospital bed and the doctor has not been allowed to go home because he said that some parts of my sternum and ribs had been crushed as a result of me being severely beaten with batons by several members of the Schutterij force at a demonstration in front of the Volksraad building in Sucilangkung City. about a month ago.

I really can't feel pain but if I don't have surgery, the bone fragments in my body can cause my internal organs bleeding because of the bonen fragments inside my body cut the flesh of my internal organs so I have to have surgery. The surgery I have to undergo will take place tomorrow, the day that a new era has finally arrived.

I thought that Muhamed, mr. Lodewijk and the mass of demonstrators who demonstrated in front of the Jakarta City Volksraad building would fail again in their attempt to overthrow the government regime in which it is controlled by the fascist Neo-NSB party but, in the end, Allah showed his power and gave us all, the people of the VSI who are here are victorious in our efforts to fight the injustice and oppression carried out by the evil, vile, greedy, wicked, and ruthless people who have done various kinds of damage, crime and oppression during their reign and rule in this country.

It is true that even though we have succeeded in overthrowing the Neo-NSB party regime, there is no guarantee that the next government regime can govern this country wisely, fairly and, efficient but at least there is still hope that we will all be safe from the arbitrary actions and oppressions we've experienced in the past when the Neo-NSB party regime came to power in the VSI and that is something for which we should all be grateful for.

Time goes on until noon arrives. Before the operation, my parents and I were told by the doctor who was going to do the surgery that I should fast, not eat nor drink until the time for the surgery the next day has arrived. Well, although I did feel a little worried but my worries soon disappeared when I remembered that this was not the first time I was hospitalized and so far Allah is still taking care of my body and soul.

When the clock showed it was time for my surgery on the next day, I was immediately taken to the surgery room. The clothes I was wearing were changed by several nurses with white clothes whose bottom was long enough to cover my ankles. Then I was injected with anesthetic until after a few minutes had passed, my vision was blurry and my eyelids were closing in on them.

When I woke up from my sleep due to the effects of the anesthetic had wore off, my vision was still a little blurry but, I could see that beside me was my mother sleeping on the sofa while Muhamed was sitting on a chair which was right next to my bed. He seemed to be fiddling with his smartphone. I called his name.

"Hey, Muhamed."

"Ah, Karim, moj brat (my brother), you finally woke up, alhamdulillah. I thought you would sleep longer because of the pleasure of the beautiful dream that you had." said Muhamed jokingly.

"Haha, sweet dreams are good, but it's even better if I can make those dreams come true." I replied back to him.

"What is your sweet dream that you hope will come true?" he asked.

"I want my sweet dream of me, my family, and my friends coming to my wedding with mevrouw Sofia to come true." I said answering the question.

"Insha Allah, aamiin, I'm also hoping for that. I'm curious what kind of food that will be served for the invited guests. Sofia is a royal, so I hope that the chef who cooks the food is a five-star restaurant chef or a famous chef." he said, replying to my words.

"Hahaha, yes Insha Allah Muhamed, for you, there will be a special table so you can eat as much as you want until you vomit." I said, replying back to his words then we both laughed together.

"By the way, before I was getting my surgery, I saw a video that went viral on social media on the news that I watched in which you challenged a member of parliament from the Neo-NSB party to shoot you with the gun that he was holding. What did you do that for?" I asked him.

"I was already mad to the core and was fed up with their behavior. So I was determined to do it. At that time I no longer cared about whether I would die from being shot by a bullet from the gun that my enemy was holding or not because, even if I died by getting shot, the demonstrators will go berserk and take over the parliament building and sooner or later we will all win because if at that time I was getting shot, the video footage containing the scene of me being killed will go viral and that will make the people give a tougher resistance." he said to me.

"Alhamdulillah you are safe, I will feel lonely if you die at that time Muhamed." I replied to his words.

"Alhamdulillaah, it didn't happen." he replied to my words.

"By the way, can you tell me about the mass demonstration that you participated yesterday in Jakarta? I'm curious about that because I have a plan to turn your experience with our other friends against the Neo-NSB party regime into a comic book." I asked him.

"Yes, I can." he replied.

Then he started to talk about his experience when he participated in the mass demonstration in Jakarta with mr. Lodewijk yesterday. I listened to it carefully and enthusiastically because, if I could, I wanted to join the fight on the streets with my friends. Unfortunately, I got injured again, which caused me to have to go to the hospital again for the umpteenth time. Well never mind, at least all the suffering and hardships that have been experienced by me, my family, my friends and the VSI's Muslim community due to the tyranny of the Neo-NSB party regime have ended and everything will return to normal as usual, alhamdulillah.
