Chapter 20 - Clear "My Wife Candidate"

"I'm sorry, Dew."

"I'm sorry Papa, clear."

"Sorry."

A strand of apology that echoed in the inner Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi when he would pull the trigger of his gun.

PYARR...

Degs...

Instantly his eyes opened. The gun that was in his head and almost the trigger he pulled, immediately clenched again. Then he held the ordinary down. Automatic shots did not occur. Uncontinued.

His gun he put on the bed. Slowly he stood up and stepped and squatted. Staring at the picture frame of himself with Dewun when they were young and dating status broke into pieces on the floor of the quiet room Bening.

Apparently the picture frame stuck on the wall just fell off. And saved from his foolish attempts to commit suicide.

Bening's father instantly scooped his face roughly with both palms. Take a deep breath and then exhale. It is strange that the frame can fall like this and simultaneously when he will make a suicide attempt.

Moreover, the frame is embedded in the wall of the room in a special way from the experts. Not just ordinary taped by the princess. Is this a sign ?

"Are you mad at me, Dew? Because I did the stupid thing of a lifetime that was suicide," he said with a discordant laugh while taking photos and the broken frame from the floor in a crouching condition.

Chequek...

The door of Bening's room suddenly opened displaying Riko in quite anxious condition. But after seeing the commander healthy and there were no abrasions, this forty-year-old man breathed a sigh of relief.

Earlier, the,

Riko knocked several times on the door of the commander's daughter's room but there was no answer. He was afraid something might happen to his commander. He understands the situation and feelings of a General Pol. What is Prasetyo Pambudi like now.

He had accompanied the commander as his personal aide for over ten years. So that the character of the commander and the ins and outs and pettiness in the Bening family, he was very understanding.

As a result, he was forced to enter the Clear room by pressing the passcode directly without orders. The main bedroom and the room Bening in the official house of Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi does not use a physical key but with a digital way that includes a special passcode.

"I'm sorry, Ndan. It's sassy to enter," said Riko while bowing respectfully.

Bening's father only responded with ordinary hand movements without making a sound which meant that it was okay.

Riko was immediately surprised to see the commander's gun was in a place that should not be. But a sigh of relief surrounded him.

He believes the commander is able to pass all these trials of his life by staying strong and sincere.

Riko also helped Bening's father clean up the fragments of the broken photo frame. After that the two of them came out of the room to the living room.

Degs...

"So the Bening I stain is the Bening future wife of this matchmaking?" arjuna's mind rumbled.

"Yes God. Forgive my sins."

"Dad, forgive your stupid son."

"I'm sorry, Bening."

Arjuna implied the thousands of apologies that were raging in his heart at this moment. His body seemed to have no bones at all to support itself.

It felt like I wanted to get into the ground with Bening. Regretting.

Yeah, he's really sorry.

Why are you late to see Bening?

Why did he have to go to the bar that night so he drank something he wasn't supposed to?

Time cannot be replayed. Only regret and heart are left that hurt because of injuring a girl like Bening who incidentally his own future wife.

Arjuna understood very well that he seemed to be trapped by someone on that night of disaster. Because if only drunk because of alcohol, he would not lose control so as to stain Bening.

But he was very sure that his drink that night had been laced with war-sang substances. So that he became violent uncontrollably devoured Bening until the girl was unconscious.

Mrs. Lina had briefly told me that Dewun died while giving birth to Bening. Arjuna was increasingly afflicted with a deep sense of guilt at Bening.

In every photo of Bening in the family room, always a beautiful smile featuring a cheerful girl figure when seen by others in general. But Arjuna who had served as a reserse in the police, of course, had a sharper instinct to look at the photo of Bening.

He seemed to see a smile of falsehood emanated in each of those photos. A smile full of hurt and sadness.

For some reason, Arjuna did not know why. Because he just entered the Bening family. Not yet deep into the ins and outs that occur in the family of Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi, his future father-in-law.

Tap...

The pace of the shoe sole sounds more real and moves towards the family room.

"Assalammualaikum.." said Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi to his guests.

Degs...
