To be honest, initially I totally never occurred to meet that figure been so hounded security apparatus and the reporters that. Until one time, when returning to the hometown, I can, Teungku Abdullah Syafie, as the newspaper writes the name of the captain of the topnotch it, was resting in my hometown. Armed with the curiosity of a secondary school pupil, I beranikan myself visited a house where the Commander and dozens of troops stay. That's where I first saw Teungku Abdullah Syafie with the white t-shirt are relaxing together.
That moment I could not possibly meet Teungku Lah, because he was sleeping noonday. I was involved a serious chat with some members of the free Aceh Movement (GAM), Teungku Hasan Umar whom Tiro, one of several names that I still remember. The discussion revolved around the struggle and ideology as well as the existence of the Consultative Assembly GAM Gam (GAM MP). The name of the MP GAM flourished because it struck none other name Pasi Lhok, Kembang Tanjong, called. I was in that MAN, more listening. However, every now and then I come along throwing questions, because the curiosity.
After Teungku Lah woke up, I immediately moved to the front porch of the House where Teungku rest. I saw him sitting on his bed, and was talking to someone via Hp. There I also saw there are some of his bodyguards, some of whom were cleaning the weapons, the average of the AK-47. There are no suspicious stares from their eyes. Could be, because I was just a little boy, when it.
Before long, Teungku Lah finished talking. He suddenly turned toward me, with friendly facial threw a question lightly. Because it does not know the name, he called me with the greeting ' Young ' Baidillah. "Young Baidillah pat House?" I replied that my house is not far, just a few houses away. "House lon blah rot teunong rumoh nyoe, Teungku."
"Young mantong sikula jak Baidillah?" he asked.
"Teungku Mantong, lon sikula bak MAN 1 sambon Sigli. Nyoe incidentally teungoh pre, lon woe gampong u. "
"Acehnese must sikula jak Baidillah mandum, bah carong-carong baidillah Aceh."
After saying that, Teungku Lah asked me take a glass of water on the lower floors. I went down to the bottom via stairs, and asked for a glass of plain water for a home owner on the Teungku Lah, still the family close to my family.
Apparently, Teungku Lah was about to take drugs. "A medicine nyoe ata dijok le journalist Japan. Dipeugah kêu get vitamins, "she said while taking the drug in bags of a white Crackle. The drug, he said, given the time journalists were mewancarainya, a few days ago. Do not forget he laid a grain of vitamins it for me. He drink it first, and leaving only a bit of white water, and handed glasses of it for me. I also join drank it.
That experience a long time ago, in the year 1999. At that time, I have not so acquainted with the figure he is, except through news coverage in the media. That's the only my encounter with Teungku Lah. Until the last breath Teungku Lah in a contact weapon in Alue Mon, Cubo, a new Airport, I never met him again.
Since then, I harbored a desire to write a life story. In my opinion, the figure Was important written, Teungku not only because he has headed the free Aceh Movement, but rather because the body is full of charisma. The growing desire of peaked when I visited the village of Jatoe and Blang Kayee Sukon, Cubo, in October last year. During two days in Mukim Cubo, I pretty much absorb information about the sepak-terjang Commander who greatly admired the young man.
Gampong Seuneubok swamp, Peusangan, Bireuen they are about four kilometers from Medan-Banda Aceh Road, the area is cooked Bireuen they two, Glumpang. The connecting roads leading into gampong it just three kilometres are nice, while teraspal about one kilometer longer full of gravel and dusty. In some parts of the still visible scars of asphalt is peeling. On the left of right of way, there is a vast stretch of rice acreage, takes up the area of the shaded hills and beautiful.
In gampong, Teungku Abdullah Syafie was born. If the reference to the written description in the tomb of the Blang Sukon, Cubo, Pidie Jaya, he was born on October 17, 1947. While in a lot of information in the media, he has written was born in 1952. Does anyone know which version is correct. But, his sister, Fatima, had a different description. According to him, his brother was born circa 1955.
"Lon lahe thon 1958, brother lon thon 1952. Teungku lahe thon 1955, "he said, beginning of December 2015. The year is written in the Tomb, he continued, is not true. "Thon dituleh 1947.
