EMil POV.
"Can I hold you?"
"For the last one,"
The judge's hammer has been tapped to mark the end of our relationship, after this, I will go far without any one from my past who will be able to meet me, neither the O'clan family, nor Namira.
But my heart suddenly felt very scared, as Namira stood up from the chair walking in tandem with my mother about to exit the courtroom, I stopped her, asking to hug her one more time, the last time, she said, because after this, I will no longer be able to touch that body I love so much.
Namira nodded giving me permission, I clasped her body tightly, smelling in the scent of vanilla which became my olfactory opium. My heart is pounding and it hurts so much, I gave up on the circumstances that kept pressing us both, hurting each other and hurting again, I hope, after leaving Namira, letting go of her, she will live a happy life. I hope that.

I decided to stay in Bali, open a small shop with a French food menu, there was no easy struggle, he said, many times I would have almost given up if I had not remembered the words of Fabrizio who belittled me by saying I would have failed if there was no name O'clan embedded in the back of my name, and I'll prove if I can do it without their shadow.
But it's just a joke, in fact trying it is not easy, just to connect life is very difficult, let alone used to hold millions of dollars, especially once I used to hold millions of dollars, now you have to be smart to manage money with only hundreds of thousands.
3 Months open a store that is always quiet I want to close it, I don't know what I am after this.
And tonight, as always, my shop is still quiet. Only one or two people came, then deserted back. Revenue does not cover capital.
I was about to close the store when the clock showed at 12 p.m. But suddenly a woman who ran while holding a little boy past my half-closed shop, I saw him from inside.
Soon a group of men dressed in full suits followed, chasing the bule woman who was holding the girl.
Shit, they're being chased by crooks, I'm locking up the tavern. Out of the back door, I memorized the road that the woman would pass, there was only one road that would be deadlocked after turning right.
I waited by the side of the road, and rightly, the woman ran from that direction towards the road I had expected.
"Let'sah!"
"Ssuuttt!"
I pulled his hand and shut his mouth asking him to shut up. We hid behind the walls of another shop.
The woman was very beautiful, had a sharp but shady hazel bead, sweat soaked her face, and it was clear she was afraid. His body was trembling and his breath was breathing heavily.
"Mom,," said the girl in his arms.
"Ssttt," the woman asked her son.
I saw the boy's face that looked pale, he was sick, even the back of his hand was bleeding, it seemed like it was a forced drip needle.
"Follow me," I whispered with emphasis. He nodded in agreement.
We're moving towards my store, I think, there's the right place to hide. But suddenly the sound of gunfire shocked us and suddenly stopped our steps.
"DOR DOR,,,,"
"Empphh," I silenced the mouth of the woman who was about to shout with my hand, the sound of gunshots kept quiet and the atmosphere was crowded by the cries of people using German.
This is the scariest thing I've ever experienced, seeing a woman with her frail son in pursuit of gun-toting criminals.
"Mom, that's Bern!" lirih daughter who was immediately embraced quickly by her mother.
"Yes, dear Nora, Bern is coming, we'll be safe!" the woman hugged her son, who was named Nora.
I saw the two of them, even though I didn't know what they were talking about, when we felt safe, suddenly a man appeared at the end of the street pointing his gun at this woman standing before me, he was about to shoot her.
I don't know why I dared to do it, I just reflexively pulled the woman's body into it until I became the shield from the shot.
DOR, IS,,,
I felt a terrible pain in my back when the hot lead penetrated my skin and lodged in my body.
"Aahhh," cried the woman who I could still hear, until my vision began to faint and I fell down, no longer remembering anything.

When I woke up, I was already in a luxurious room. In the prone position, an infusion is connected to the back of my hand, as well as a bag of blood.
I blinked, trying to get up.
"You're sober?" ask a tall, well-built man in English, with a bule face, and so many tattoos on his hands.
I didn't answer, I felt a lot of pain.
"My back hurts so much to the point of being numb" I complained in English.
He smiled, I tried to sit down and he helped me.
A woman approached, the woman I helped that night.
"Honey, he's conscious?" the woman asked the tattooed man in German, okay, that means they are German citizens.
"Thank you for saving us" said the woman sincerely in a soft voice.
"I owe you my life" added the tattooed man.
"Who are you?" askaku uses German.
"No, I'm from France,"
He's nodding.
"What's your name?" now the beautiful woman asked.
"I'm Emil, and you guys?"
"I'm Lea, Leanore Martinez, and this is my future husband, Bernando Adoffo Lexandra," replied the woman who introduced herself by the name of Lea.
"You can call me Bern." said the tattooed man.
I'm nodding.
"What about that little girl? Where is he?" I remember the girl who looked so pale that night.
"His name is Nora, she's our daughter, she's sick, and she's in Doctor's care."
"Here?" my forehead crept. Baffled.
"This place is safer than the Hospital" Bern said.
I nodded, though not quite understanding, in pain but in the care of an apartment. So too with me.
I tried to reach for the glass on the table and Bern helped me take it.
"Thank you," I said, and I gulped down that glass of water.
"How do I say thank you? You've saved the lives of two people I love so much, whatever I avenge, it won't be enough. Let's say if you want something," Bern spoke in a serious tone, he stroked and kissed Leah's hand many times in front of me, I can understand the love between them, I can understand, because that's what I feel for Namira, my ex-wife.
I'm still silent, not knowing what to answer, obviously I'm in financial trouble right now, but it's a shame if we expect someone to pay for our good deeds, and I even just reflexively did it that night.
"We have to get out of this place immediately, this is not our place, we have to get back to Germany." Lea who spoke, I looked up at her, then moved on to Bern.
"Can I come with you?"
Bern frowned at my request.
"Give me a job, my Keda is deserted, I'm broke, and I need money" I said blatantly.
Bern smiled, then nodded.
"Come with us."

Bern, he is not a random person, it turns out he is a mafia leader of the Dark Sky clan mafia network based in the city of Berlin, Germany.
I worked as the main manager of his company engaged in technology, but one month later, he decides to quit the Mafia network and choose to live like a normal human being with his small family after marrying Lea and taking care of their son Nora.
Agosto Adoffo, his younger brother, succeeded him as chairman of the mafia. And I have nothing to do with their dark world.
One year later, I chose to return to Paris and build my own company, a PH EN Entertainment that houses several artists and models. My life was focused on work, success, no bed time, and I only remembered Namira at bedtime, because the rest of me was busy working. Missed Namira in her sunyinya night. Wishing he came in my dreams, to treat my longing.
"Namira, I'll look for you after this."
Well, I decided to go back with Namira if I had been successful later, if I had managed to prove that I could and was proud of her, none of the women would have caught my attention, I just love Namira, only her.
Several months passed, EN Entertainment began to be considered in the entertainment world, after the newcomer singer from our PH won the award many times, raising the big name of EN Entertainment.
I ordered Robin to find Namira's whereabouts, quite easily. He works for the same company as Ardhan, his ex-girlfriend whom I hate so much. But Robin says Ardhan is married, and they are now just friends.
Hearing the news, of course I am very happy, Namira is still loyal to her solitude, does that not prove that she still loves me?
I was planning on meeting Namira soon, proposing to her, getting her married in earnest, without a stupid 100-day marriage contract, but Robin suddenly brought news that made my world collapse again. Namira's married.
Destroyed, once again the reality of life ravaged me, if I did not remember how hard and painful my struggle could be to this point.
Well, Namira is married, I'll let her go as long as she's happy. Let my life alone now be in desolation. My goal from the beginning was just to see Namira happy, if not with me, then I sincerely saw her happy with the man of her choice.
***
"Lantas, how do you know if I'm not happy?" asked Namira who still dropped her head on my shoulder. And our hands are tied to each other.
The waves of the beach accompanied us.
"Sir, it's time we go back." Robin intruded.
"When we're up, be patient." I kissed Namira's soft lips, gave her the deepest sweet kiss before she finally had to return to the party area together with Robin.
Namira occasionally glanced back, looking at me who was standing looking at her sadly.
"I hope our story can end like Mr. Bern and Miss Lea, Namira."

Anyone remember Bernando and Leanore?
