"They both love each other. They are willing to bet each other's lives. No matter how hard we try, there's no place for us there. Although it's heavy, I hope you accept it and let them be together."
As soon as he saw the familiar posture and the striped uniform, Nadya's feeling was not good. He quickly approached the stunned man in front of a room and pulled him towards the garden.
At first the man seemed to be very strong. Not moving from where he stood. But Nadya managed to convince him. Nadya explained everything. In each explanation, the look on Saka's face changed. Nadya could feel disappointment and anger there.
Finished explaining everything, Nadya shuffled from her seat. He felt his task was done, to straighten out the things he had bent. There's nothing he can do anymore. As he promised Arsha, he'd be gone from their lives.
Nadya watched the strapping man who was still sitting unmoved. From the look on her face, Nadya knew that the man she met several times was holding back anger. It was seen from the wrinkles on the forehead, lips tightly clenched while grinding, fiery eyes, and hands that clenched tightly to show veins.
"I know you're a smart, wise man, and you can think clearly. You won't do things out of bounds." Nadya was more self-assured. He was worried that Saka would hurt Armand seeing the anger on the man's face.
"I hope, in our next meeting, that somehow, we all have our own happiness." Nadya was silent for a moment. There's no response whatsoever. He stood up clumsily. "Then I say goodbye. Take good care of yourself" he said and turned away.

Her lips could only be tightly clenched. Her chest was hot and turbulent. There is anger, disappointment, sadness that you want to express. All emotions are mixed into one. Forming a clot that is getting bigger and bigger. Makes his chest tight. As if oxygen cannot be inhaled. He needs an impingement!
Nadya's explanation makes Saka speechless. This is too surprising! He thought Armand was a man who had a wife. A rival that he can get rid of and gradually he will take over Arsha's heart. But the truth is not like that!
Armand is the same! He is a free man. Not tied to anyone. Armand is free to love no one but Arsha. And the man's feelings were welcomed.
Seeing them kissing like that, made Saka's shoulders bowed down. Hope exhausted. Pupus is everything! He didn't have the slightest chance. Saka knows how Nay loves Armand so much. Armand loved her too.
That's right Nadya said. There is no place for him or Nadya in their relationship. No matter how hard the effort is, the results will remain the same. Saka was angry about his helplessness.
To not hurt his rival, he needed an impingement to channel the negative energy that filled his body. Saka reached into the phone and dialed one of the numbers. In the first ring, the call is raised.
"Gather all the members in the shooting range. Get M-16!"

"Aren't you back in your room?"
They were sitting on the sofa with their bodies clinging to each other. Arsha's arm grabbed Armand's arm as if he didn't want to let go. He's head rested on Armand's shoulder. His spoiled voice made Armand smile a little.
"Why did you turn 180 degrees like this? Is it because I saved you?"
"One of them. The other one is more."
"meaning?" Armand stared at the head of the girl. He lowered his head to read Arsha's countenance.
"No means anything. We're going out now!" Arsha proclaimed their relationship unabashedly.
Armand shook his head. A faint smile fell on his lips. He placed his big palm on Arsha's head and ruffled the tiny woman's hair.
"Basic bocil."
"Eh, I'm not a leak, sir. I'm a mature adult girl."
"A new feeling was rejected. Said to be shameless. Now some are proclaiming the relationship unilaterally. Without asking for my consent first ...."
"So you don't want to date me?" Arsha's eyes glared. From his gaze, he seemed to be ready to devour Armand at any moment. As if declaring, 'Father dares to reject me?'
"Just a date? Don't want more?" Next to Armand's eyebrows raised. His eyes show an amused expression.
"more? More how?"
"Married. For example."
