Chapter 45

Kinza Irsyania Malik POV

“You why the hell would you so easily forgive a Princess like that? Don't you remember the mistake he made on you?”

“See your feet Kinza, even you have to sit on a wheelchair like this. What's on your mind? I really don't understand!”

“What is your heart made of, baby? Why do you easily forgive others?”

What is my heart made of? Yeah, I know, I'm not God. Surprised, yes, Mas has a wife as good and beautiful as me? wkwk

I breathe out slowly. Why did Mas Al become a vengeful man? With forgiveness, all business becomes easier. Live safe, peaceful and peaceful.

I grabbed Mas Al's hand. “Mas, it's not good 'lho being a vengeful human being. Is not forgiveness a noble act? Not just anyone can like that, right?” I said softly.

He was silent for a moment, “iya anyway, Dek. But I still feel unacceptable. The mistake that the Princess made was too fatal. Try to imagine if Mas does not come quickly. What's gonna happen next? Your life could be gone, Dek!” Al continued to argue for himself. Yes, I know, I understand. But how should it be? I don't want to jail Princess Ma'am.

If the Princess is imprisoned, of course it will only be a disaster for my family. The problems that exist can be increasingly runyam, Mother Princess can be a very violent person and become a vengeful human.

Of course I don't want that to happen. My life could be haunted by a lifetime of fear and guilt.

I'm Mas Al's lyrics who's laying on the bed. He was like a person who was thinking heavy, his face looked relaxed, even with the movement of the hand that was massaging his forehead.

“It is yes, Mas, do not think about it anymore, I'm sure Madam Putri can repent. And, he won't do bad things to our family anymore. Just say Mas, he will definitely change completely.” said I while also laying down beside Mas Al.

Mas Al looks resigned. He seemed to agree with the words I just said. Yeah, what do you say? it seems my proposal is the best path for my family's safety. Hopefully, after this there are no problems that occur again due to the actions of the Princess Mother. Aamiins.

“Punishment for Bang Arjuna? Did Mas already know? according to Mas, about what punishment will the Commander give to Bang Arjuna?” I asked for silence.

"The Father of the Commander will not give any indiscriminate punishment to his soldiers, Dek. He must be fully guided by military law. Because, the military law will judge Arjuna arbitrarily. In accordance with what his wife has done to you.” said Mas Al looks relaxed. I was silent for a moment. Could it be that Bang Arjuna and Ma'am Putri will be removed from this unit without my asking. Or, will Bang Arjuna be removed from the army?

If he is removed from office, pity it. His efforts to become a soldier were not easy. Bang Arjuna fought desperately, I was one of the lucky ones, who could bear witness to Bang Arjuna's struggle in achieving his success as a soldier. In fact, I used to accompany him to physical training until he finally passed the test.

“According to Mas, will Bang Arjuna be removed from the army?” I was super curious though I felt sorry for Bang Arjuna.

“According to me no, Dek. The origin of this problem we cover up. If until this problem is spread everywhere and heard by KASAD, of course Arjuna will be removed from his position. If Mas wants to hold this, it could be when the gospel also Arjuna immediately removed from his position. What's the matter, Dek? Why are you being a kepo like this? You have pity, yes, same Arjuna?” tanya Mas Al is one hundred percent right. I feel sorry doesn't mean I still love him. I just feel this way, because of course Bang Arjuna feels very devastated because his career has to stop here.

I nodded lethargicly. "That's a pity, if that happens. He must have been very disappointed in the White House. The struggle to be a soldier is not easy. It needs very careful preparation and of course the struggle is not half-and-half. So the army is hard, right Mas?” tanya who replied nod by Mas Al.

"Yups, it's true Deck. Arjuna would be devastated if his career had to come to a halt because of his own wife. He knew he loved the princess. Not entirely because his love is still with you. However, I will not be angry with Arjuna. Love is not to blame. But, here the thing is the Princess. Mas also pity Arjuna, after this surely he will get a punishment that is so heavy. Military punishment is very heavy, Dek. especially if the mistake he made concerns the safety of fellow residents of the dormitory. Arjuna could be imprisoned, could be punished run around the field using a backpack like a man who wants to fight. And worse, Arjuna could have been dismissed from his position as a soldier" said Mas Al at length makes me feel more compassion at the Bang Arjuna.

I changed my position to sit. "Mas, can't our punishment be decisive? Surely Bang Arjuna and Mbak Putri had received a jolt and ridicule from the commander. I think it's punishment for both. Ma'am Putri must have felt quite kapok."

“Can't be, Dek. We can't do our own judgment. All the mistakes that have been committed by the wife and the soldier himself, surely his actions will be cracked down and tried by the military regulations in this unit. Ye know? All actions will surely get their reward. And this was the right reply for the two of them especially for the Princess. Don't feel sorry, because this was supposed to happen. And this is the appropriate punishment for actions that have tarnished the good name of the unit." said Mas Al. Again I can only be silent and imagine if it really happened. I can imagine how devastated Arjuna was and how devastated the Princess' heart was because she had to see her husband removed from his position as a soldier.

“Already, Deck. Everyone has arranged it, we just need to make this a lesson for all of us. Don't let this happen a second time. Grateful, we are still protected from the vile deeds done by the Princess. It was enough to make Mas relieved.” I nodded lethargic while hugging Mas Al's body. There's nothing I have to worry about right now, most importantly all the problems that exist have been resolved and no crime will happen again.

...---...

The second trial continues the next day. Mr. Commander's room was filled with important people in this unit. Such as the Commander, Pasintel, and important officials in this unit.

With a blurry face and fear Ma'am Putri sat in the middle of the trial. Beside him was Bang Arjuna who was fully equipped with army uniforms. And, of course, there is Mas Al and I who are still sitting in a wheelchair.

The trial began, the atmosphere became increasingly tense with the Princess who continued to shed tears. A sudden sense of pity arose in my heart, I really could not bear to see a pair of couples put on trial before so many people. I wanted to stop this trial, but I couldn't. Justice must be maintained.

“According to existing regulations, Lettu Arjuna Bima Nusamalima will be sentenced to run around the field as much as 100 times using complete combat equipment. In addition, he will be jailed for 14 days. Lastly, Lettu Arjuna Bima Nusamalima and his wife will be transferred to Yonif Infantry Raider unit in East Nusa Tenggara province precisely in the city of Kupang.”

the hammer duk duk is knocked on by the Commander.

I shed tears. Simultaneously, there was a sobbing sound of Princess Ma'am who filled the room. He looked so limp and helpless.so did Bang Arjuna, He looked resigned but still stood firmly.

Bang Arjuna immediately carried out the punishment, he was immediately told to run around the field with a typical backpack of combat soldiers. However, when Bang Arjuna was about to leave the room, the Princess suddenly fainted on the spot and was immediately unconscious. Everyone panicked, especially me who was still crying.

The mother was taken directly to KSA. The punishment that should be carried out by Bang Arjuna at this time, finally did not happen because he had to take his wife to KSA.

I was helped by Mas Al to take the Princess to KSA. My conscience immediately rippled. I can't see the scene in front of me right now.

“Mas, I really feel guilty for Mother Princess. If he's what? I really feel sorry for him, Mas." I said with a body that shook violently. But Mas Al keeps reminding me that this is not my fault.

“There's nothing wrong with you, honey. This has been a fate for all of us, especially for Arjuna and the Princess. Of course we cannot be blamed, because the culprit of the problem here is the Princess herself. He deserves it all because of what he did himself. Never mind, just let this happen, because God knows better for his people, as well as for us.” said Mas Al gently while stroking my back.

Oh God, I really can't see everything happening. Please protect Mother Princess, please give her the strength to run everything. Aami..

We all wait for the Princess to be examined. With anxious feelings, with a blurry countenance, and with prayers constantly being offered.

Scroll to the side, Bang Arjuna looked so anxious. She unceasingly offered a prayer while bowing her head deeply.

While I kept being held captive by Mas tightly. I felt sad and felt sorry for him. I want to lift the sentence against Bang Arjuna. However, this has become a military regulation and certainly will not be revoked.

After a while, the doctor came out of the examination room. He came straight to the three of us. "With Lettu Arjuna?" ask the doctor.

"Yes Doc, I'm myself Lettu Arjuna. How's my wife doing, is she okay?" bang Arjuna asked impatiently. Understandably, he had already gone past anxious.

“Nothing to worry about. Mother Princess is just tired and too much thought, especially because of her young gestational age. It makes him easily tired and when it is severe will faint like this. I suggest, do not overburden the thoughts of Mother Princess. Increase rest and take vitamins to strengthen its content. I'll give you the prescription.”

Bang Arjuna looked shocked and in disbelief. Same with me and Mas Al. We do not believe that Mbak Putri is pregnant with Bang Arjuna's child. But, the guilt re-emerged in my heart. If anything happens to the contents of the Mother Princess, of course I will not forgive myself. Because this must have something to do with me.

Bang Arjuna thanked and thanked the doctor. After that, he entered the room Ma'am Putri followed by me and Mas Al.

The Princess looks pale and limp. He was lying weakly on top of the hospital gurney. His eyes were still closed, his consciousness had yet to fully recover.

Slowly Bang Arjuna approached Mbak Putri and sat down on the chair beside her. Bang Arjuna's hand gently clasped the Princess's hand. He kissed her many times while unceasingly giving thanks.

I saw the eyes of the Princess begin to open. He blinked a few times the mark adjusted the light that entered his eyes.

"Put, congratulations, soon we'll be parents. You are pregnant, dear.” said Mas Al with a sigh. The tension that had occurred changed with the blue day in this room. I also gave thanks, in contrast to Mas Al who was still silent with a slightly surprised face. Maybe he did not believe that Mother Princess could conceive a child from Bang Arjuna.

"I'm very happy to hear this news, Bang, Ma'am. Congratulations on the presence of the baby in the stomach of the Princess Mother. May the baby always be healthy.” said I congratulate Mother Princess and Arjuna very sincerely. Ma'am Putri smiled as she occasionally stared at the face of bang Arjuna in disbelief.

“Thank you, Dek.” said Mbak Putri Weak.

“Ar, am I really pregnant with your child? Our kid? I really did not expect the little one to grow here." said the Princess while stroking her stomach is still flat.

The tense atmosphere gradually began to melt away. I began to regret what happened. Had the Princess not done this, I would have seen how her child would have been born. Must be so funny and adorable. But baby, it's just a delusion.

Wherever the Princess is, may always be in the protection of the Powerful.
