JAKARTA - The events of the September 30th Movement (G30S) 1965 brought grief to the Indonesian people. The victims were not only a series of army generals (AD). Aide and even his family who had nothing to do with politics also became victims. Ade Irma Suryani, for example.

The youngest daughter of General Abdul Haris (AH) Nasution had to die as a result of the G30S incident. He was shot by rebel forces. Ade Irma Suryani was rushed to the hospital. However, five days later he died.

The operation to kidnap TNI AD generals has been carefully calculated. Troops who were often referred to as rebels began to prepare since evening throughout September 30, 1965. They gathered at Lubang Buaya to open the smuggling operation. The targets of the military forces were no joke.

Among other things, the Minister of Defense General AH Nasution and the Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Ahmad Yani. The rest are Army general staff, starting with Major General S. Parman, Major General Mas Tirtodarmo Harjono, Major General R. Suprapto, Brigadier General Soetojo Siswomiardjo, and Brigadier General DI Panjaitan.

Seven groups of troops were then deployed. Each has the task of transporting a general. The kidnapping plan almost went smoothly. Six groups of troops managed to carry their respective targets. Only the seventh group failed. AH Nasution, who became an "important rush", managed to escape by climbing the wall of the house and hiding in the house of the Iraqi ambassador.

However, the escape had to be paid dearly by him. Pierre Tendean's aide was arrested. While his son, Ade Irma Suryani, was shot critically by rebel forces. The rebels saw for themselves how sad AH Nasution's wife was, spread Sunarti carrying Ade Irma Suryani who was injured.

The wife of AH Nasution when she learned that a number of gunmen had entered the house forcibly, immediately locked the bedroom door and informed General AH Nasution about the presence of uniformed people who might have bad intentions. He was not sure his wife's statement immediately opened the bedroom door. When they saw the door opened, the kidnappers immediately fired a shot at him.

And instantly he dropped himself on the floor, and his wife quickly closed and locked the room again. The shooting of the kidnappers' troops was directed straight at the leaves of the bedroom door. Meanwhile, Ade Irma Suryani, their youngest daughter, who was five years old by her caregiver, was rushed out of the room with the intention of being rescued, but a kidnappers opened an automatic shot and hit Ade Irma Suryani in the back," said Herman Dwi Sucipto in the book Deliberating Mist Pekat Dalang G30S(2015).

The tense atmosphere was not only felt by all Jakarta residents, but also the AH Nasution family. They no longer think about who is the mastermind behind the kidnapping and murder. Because, the main priority is saving Ade Irma Suryani's life.

The five-year-old child was immediately rushed to the Army Central Hospital (RSPAD) Gatot Soebroto. News of the shooting of son of AH Nasution also spread among colleagues. The family of Major General KPH (Kanjeng Pangeran Haryo) Soetarjo Soerjosoemarno and Dolly Zegerius, one of them.

The two parents of Japto Soerjosoemarno (the number one person of Pemuda Pancasila) received information about the tense situation from AH Nasution's sister-in-law. Concerns about Ade Irma Suryani's condition are happening. Especially between Tarjo's wife and AH Nasution's wife, who is familiarly known.

Dolly immediately headed to Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital to visit Ade Irma Suryani. He witnessed how the AH Nasution family was filled with sadness. There is no conversation that leads to the topic of the G30S mode.

All those present at the RSAD hoped that Ade Irma Suryani, who was in critical condition, would recover quickly. Dolly also stood guard all night at the RSAD waiting for Ade Irma Suryani's recovery. However, the poor could not be denied. Ade Irma Suryani also died after five days of intensive care.

The situation on the road is very scary. Dolly was hesitant for a moment to go to the hospital before getting into the car. On the way, she saw armored cars rising on the left-right, she didn't know if they were friends or opponents. What was quite strange, on Friday afternoon he was not stopped once, the driver could just keep going."

At the military hospital, he found Nasution's family filled with feelings of fear and bargaining. Irma's little one was hit by three bullets in his spine and lost a lot of blood. His condition is critical and he is still lying in the intensive care unit. Dolly was also on guard with the family all night. Tarjo was at home with the children and the assistants, he did not need to worry about the presence of a military post on their path, explained Dolly Zegerius as written by Hilde Janssen in the book Tanah Air Baru, Indonesia (2016).
