Antara Darah dan Hati: Dream Reality English Translation

Chapter 1 Part 2 "Blockade"

7.15 a.m, the road was jam-packed with two or four-wheeled public and private vehicles because of many streets blocked due to today's demonstration schedules.

If this continues we will be getting more late because our lecture schedule is 8 o'clock. There is no other choice, we have to got off at the closest bus stop and go through the shortcut that Muhamed dislike because of the many big feral dogs there that is always chasing him even though they are tame to me because I often feed them and because of that incident, me and Muhamed made a pair of DIY roller blade shoes with wheels that we can put on and off on the heel of the shoes so we can roll pass through that road quickly.

"Med, if this continue we will be late, shall we got off of the bus at the next bus stop?

"Let me guess, we will go through that shortcut that has many feral big dogs roaming around that road?"

"Yup."

"Ugh..." he is sighing as a sign showing a little objection.

"Fine then, It'll be worse if I can't attend the class today or the docent scolding me for my lateness, bismillaah."

A couple of minutes have passed, the Bus that carrying us still moving through the congestion until finally it's reached the next stop. We got off the bus and sat on the bus stop chair putting our Roller Blade wheels on our shoe heels.

"are you ready?"

"Ja, huft."

"remember what Captain Blazkowicz said in Wolfenstein video game?"

"Yes I remember, count to four inhale, count to four exhale. Huup... fuuuh..." he's inhaling and exhaling air for several times.

"Dit is dom (this is dumb)."

"Hey Muhamed, I'm here. We ride together, we die together, bad boys for life."

"Heheh, da hvala moj brate. (yes, thanks my brother)."

We finished putting our Roller Blade wheels and prepare our mental. We began to role slowly on the sidewalk so that pedestrians were not harmed as we were roling on the sidewalk then we reached the entrance to the alley behind residential blocks and buildings.This is where we started to raise our speed because the road is bent down following the contours of this city which is a Highland land.

We went through sharp turns, small street, the back alley and narrow sidewalks, while trying to maintain our speed so that we do not crash until, we approached the lonely, empty road, the road behind the campus that almost nobody passed through because besides of it appears to be covered by wild plants and lush trees that exists on the right and left of the road, as I said there are many feral dogs that will appear in 10 , 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

"Grrrr, barf, barf, barf, barf, barf!"

The dogs came out, it was natural if Muhamed was afraid, he was not afraid of the dogs, he feared if he was licked or bitten because the saliva of the dog is unclean for both of us who are Muslims.

"Sroook... sroook... sroook... sroook! " he raised his speed, his leg continued to move trying to accelerate his slide in order to escape the Dogs that are chasing us. The dogs are consisted of 3 Alaskan Malamute, 2 Belgian Sheepdog, 3 Belgian Tervuren, 4 Doberman Pinscher and 2 German Shepherd. I was behind Muhamed while rolling and feeding the dogs with dog food and the left over foods from last night's dinner such as meat that I often spread in this area. When they get the food, they stop chasing and swarmed around the food that I spread while sometimes barking at me as if to say thank you. I've always turn my body over for a moment giving my slight smile on them then continue rolling following Muhamed towards college.
