Antara Darah dan Hati: Dream Reality English Translation

Chapter 23 Part 2 "De bekentenis van de prinses"

POV Sofia

The day of my scheduled meeting with my uncle His Majesty the King of the Netherlands has arrived. Me and my parents went to the Noordeinde palace, the palace which is the place where His Majesty the King of the Netherlands conducts inspections and gives all his decisions on all government policies that are proposed by the parliament and the prime minister to be approved by him although in the end, his power is very limited because much of the real government power is being held by the prime minister and the parliament.

Today all the eyes of the guards including the driver who was driving the car that my father, mother and I were riding could not escape themselves from keep looking at me, I'm sure they were thinking strange things because of the clothes I'm wearing now to meet His Majesty the King of the Netherlands. I wear an orange jilbab, a white coat, an orange long skirt and a pair of white lace-up canvas shoes .

Yes, I don't want to hide my identity in public anymore, I want to show them that the video recording that shows me doing Islamic worship ritual that has gone viral on various social media platforms is true.

I actually don't want to wear the clothes I'm wearing right now because I'm afraid that bad things will happen to me and my parents but when I made that excuse to my parents, they both told me that if anyone wants to hurt me because I'm showing my identity who is now a Muslim, then that person must step over the corpses of both of them even though that person is His Majesty the King of the Netherlands himself.

For the encouragement and security guarantee that they both gave me, I finally got the courage to wear the clothes I'm wearing now, they also took a photo of me wearing the jilbab and asked the admin who manages my various social media accounts to upload the photo of myself wearing the jilbab to these various social media platforms accompanied by the caption, status and twitter tweets in which statements are written to make it clear to the public that I am Sofia van Oranje-Nassau van Amsberg, one of the Princesses of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has become a Muslim and I am proud of that.

In the status, caption and tweet that are uploaded on my social media accounts, the background stories of why I finally chose to be a muslim are written. Starting from the terrible experiences and horrible days that I need to endure while I was still heer Vinno's fiancé, then continued with the story of my meeting with sinjo Karim and his friends who helped me to escape from the campus area when the campus where we studied was attacked by the Schutterij force.

After that, the status, captions and tweets on my social media accounts continued with stories about my admiration for sinjo Karim who treated me with kindness, friendliness and respect when I was a guest at his house when I, he and his friends took refuge in his house after we managed to escape from our campus area and then the story continued about my struggle with my friends to free him from the false accusations that are pointed towards him by heer Vinno and the story about the love and care that mr. Wisnu gave to me during my stay with him in the Verenigde Staten van Indonesië until he died on my lap after he used his body as a shield to protect me from being shot by firearms bullets which were owned by the people who wanted to kill me. All my experiences that made me decide to become a Muslim.

In the status, captions and tweets that are uploaded on various social media accounts that I have, I also explain the calm and happiness that I felt after I became a Muslim.

I feel that all the pain that has plagued me is slowly healed due to some of these reasons and some of these reasons are written in Javanese language in which the writings are based from an Islamic song in Javanese language written by Sunan Bonang, an ancient Islamic preacher and clergyman in Java island whom preached and taught the people in Java island about what Islam is about through gamelan music instrument and songs that he made.
