Alfin and Satya were sitting dumbstruck in their inn. It's been three hours since Rajawali's team came out and there's no news. Alfin repeatedly glanced at the tool that Kenang gave him and no signs of danger appeared. To be honest he was happy it meant they were fine.
"I'm getting sleepy." chirped Satya. He yawned a few times.
"Don't sleep first. We need to stay awake. Who knows what happened to them." stop Alfin.
Satya just sighed softly. He played his cell phone to relieve his sleepiness.
While Alfin just continued to be silent while paying attention to the special tool that was lying on the table.
"Fin, you know." chirped Satya. "Siska will be back." he continued.
Alfin just nodded his head. Satya spoke again.
"Siska was friendly with Lieutenant Kenanga, that's why I knew her."
Alfin immediately turned to Satya. He is interested in Satya's story.
"Continue." Alfin said.
Satya only smiled slightly, "What do you really want to know?" satya asked as if she could guess Alfin's mind.
Alfin fell silent for a moment and decided to talk more, "What is your impression of Lieutenant Kenanga?"
Satya fixed her sitting position. His gaze was a little glaring.
"She's beautiful. The most beautiful officer I've ever seen. He is tough, persistent and very talented. You want to know one fact?" tawar Satya's. Alfin immediately nodded his head.
"His mother Lieutenant Kenanga was a TNI officer, her last rank being Lieutenant General. And most surprisingly, her mother was originally a foreign citizen but she became a WNI when she was 14 years old."
"That's why he became a soldier, it was from his mother" Alfin said.
Satya nodded her head, "Turn back to Siska, do I have to turn her back on her?" ask Satya.
Alfin just sniffed his shoulders indifferently, "Freely reverse it again if the edges break off again. How long are you guys gonna break up?"
Satya just nodded.
Drrt
Alfin and Satya gasped in shock as the device shook violently. Red light flickering on the screen. Danger from Rajawali Team.
"What should we do? Who should we call?" satya panicked.
"Call your base and call the police!" alfin's Order.
Satya immediately contacted his headquarters. And Alfin called the police for help.
"Please send dozens of police if you can" Alfin said on the phone. He recalled that all the residents were also at the same scene.
After asking for help, they looked at each other.
"We wait for help after that together there" said Satya.
"But what happened to them?" muttered Alfin anxiously.
Satya responded while playing the phone, "Don't worry. They are professionals, any problem can be solved. Just hope no one dies" he replied casually.
Plastered
Alfin snapped at Satya's head, annoyed by his light speech. Satya grimaced in pain.
Twenty minutes passed, five police cars came followed by one army car in green uniforms of their pride. Satya and Alfin immediately stood up to them.
"They're at the factory." tell Satya directly.
All the officers and some of the soldiers nodded. They return to the car with Satya and Alfin who ask to come along. They drove towards the factory that Satya said.
***
Shortly after, they arrived. Factory looks sparkly bathed in light. But what makes everyone panic is the smoke coming out. They are afraid of fire.
Alfin and Satya got out of the car with the others. They immediately stormed in. White smoke was clearly visible once it went inside. But no fire caused the fire.
"It's a smoke bomb." chirped one of the soldiers.
They moved inward until they reached the production room. And how surprised to see dozens of people acting strangely. It's crazy but it's not. Dozens of mysterious wraps lay on the floor.
Until there was one citizen who suddenly attacked one of the police officers. All in shock and trying to release the citizens who acted 'crazy' it. Until they conclude they are having a drug party.
One by one the citizens were pacified from the influence of drugs. They try hard not to hurt or hurt because there are people who attack the officers. They were taken out of the factory one by one.
Satya and Alfin who were not allowed to enter immediately were shocked even very shocked when they saw dozens of residents coming in droves with chaotic conditions. Some fainted, laughed and even acted ferociously. They sometimes claw, go berserk and even try to bite.
"I-this is what?!" satya Shok.
"They're sakau." replied one of the soldiers.
Satya and Alfin closed their mouths in shock.
"So the zombie incident was true?" exclamation Satya.
Duarr
Everyone immediately turned a deaf ear to the explosion from inside the factory. It was seen that part of the factory was destroyed due to the sudden explosion.
"W-what was that?" stuttering Satya.
"Where is Tim Rajawali?"the chirp of a soldier made all of it instantly come to a realization.
Alfin freezes. Don't tell-it-
"They're not inside, are they?" ask Alfin stammering.
All were too focused on evacuating the residents to forget about Team Rajawali.
"We go inside. Search their tracks. Hopefully they survive." orders an army commander on his men.
The soldiers immediately ran into the factory again. Looking between the ruins and the other side of the factory which fortunately is still intact. It looks like the bomb was intended to destroy only part of the factory.
After searching for fifteen minutes by searching all the places in the factory, there was no sign of the Rajawali Team. They instead found dozens of people in black suits sprawled with pooled blood and pistols and bullet shells that were no longer contained. They seem to have been in contact with the Rajawali Team. The soldiers who got the nil results were out of the factory.
"How's it?" ask Alfin directly.
The commander of the army shook his head making Alfin limp.
"It looks like they came out before the explosion. "
Hearing him there was a slight sense of relief in everyone's heart. They certainly still have hope.
"Then the explosion?" tanya Satya recalled.
"We don't know who did it but the blast was clear from a bomb planted somewhere. The bomb only destroyed parts of the factory, especially the warehouse."
"Warehouse? But there's plenty of important evidence!" said shock.
"Evidence?" ask one of the confused police officers.
"drugs. They sell drugs with toy factory masks. And there's a closet-" Alfin paused his speech. He remembered once again.
"Is there a?" ask Satya.
"Gruesome closet. It's I mean-very terrible!" alfin said back to goosebumps.
"Huh?" Satya didn't really understand what Alfin was saying.
"It became the duty of the Rajawali Team who received the mission. Now we have to find him. Comb the entire village especially those close to the factory. But keep a safe distance because we don't know if there's another bomb embedded."
"Good, sir."
All the soldiers spread out, followed by several police officers who helped. Others stayed behind to evacuate the residents.
On the other hand, Alfin was pensive. He thought about where he found Kenanga. Until he remembered his conversation last afternoon with Kenanga while in the warehouse.
"They smuggle drugs in toy factories and also kill people. The limb piece stored in the closet must have belonged to the person they killed. Could it be the police and agents on duty?" yanga Mumm.
Alfin looked at Kenanga confusedly, "What do you mean?" tanyanya did not understand.
It dawned on me that Alfin had heard his mutterings. He just shook his head.
"The secret of the mission." answered Kenanga briefly.
"Oh yeah, there's a waterfall here, have you been there? He said the waterfall was beautiful but dangerous." said Alfin to divert the conversation.
"I didn't come for a vacation" said Kenanga flatly. Alfin scratched his head, embarrassed.
"As you said, the waterfall is dangerous. Locals say they can't go there because it's slippery. But to be honest, I don't believe enough." continued Kenanga.
"Why?" ask Alfin curiously.
"The gap in this village reaches ten meters. But the depth of the water is at least up to two meters. It makes no sense to slip and drown unless you can't swim. And seeing how they're stressing this ban, it makes me even more sure there's something."
"Something?"
Kenanga nodded her head, "Something's hidden."
Flashback Off
Alfin immediately ran away and Satya who saw Alfin run away without being able to prevent it. Satya chased after Alfin whose back was already invisible.
Alfin ran down the hill. The waterfall is located under the hill. The more he went down, the sound of the waterfall was getting louder. Alfin did not reduce his speed even though the slope was quite steep and slippery.
In the middle, he saw Kenanga who was fighting with a woman. Not only Kenanga, Bagas and Panji were also fighting a big man. Beside the fight, Angga, Dani, and Riko fell limp. One stranger also lay stiff with blood reminiscing around his body.
"Clein!" shout Alfin.
Kenanga turned her head towards him but the fate of her stomach was kicked hard by her enemy until it fell. Alfin who saw him sped up his run.
Alfin continued to run until he saw Kenanga walking straight towards his teammates. His face was battered and his hair was drenched in sweat. He looks limp.
Until Alfin widens his eyes when Kenanga's enemies aim his gun at Kenanga.
Alfin ran fast, just a second before the bullet hit Kenanga, Alfin first blocked him. He let go of her back to protect Kenanga.
Dorian
Alfin flinched forward as the hot lead tore off his clothes and even his skin. His hand that held Kenanga's shoulder warped down.
"ALPHINE!"
***
After the incident, Alfin was taken to a nearby hospital. He collapsed from the trauma of the pain, but luckily the bullet just missed. He just tore a little skin off Alfin's upper arm.
And among all the most shocked at this incident was Kenanga. The woman was surprised and did not expect the unexpected appearance of Alfin. The man suddenly blocked his back which was almost shot by Mila.
Butwhy? Why did Alfin save her? Why would a civilian save him?
Kenanga continued to sit in the waiting room chair accompanied by Panji who was taking drinking water. The rest of the team is working out the problem. Dozens of residents who are sober have also been pacified and are being questioned one by one by the police. While the perpetrators, Mila and Arman who died, his body will be autopsied tomorrow morning in Jakarta. And the surviving Nurman will obviously be tried.
The pennant came with warm tea. He sat next to Kenanga.
"Drink, Lieutenant" he handed a glass of warm tea to the silent Kenanga.
Kenanga just shook her head. He was not thirsty at all, let alone hungry. He did not even care about anything other than waiting for the results of Alfin's examination.
"The incident-"
"I don't want to talk about it first." cut Kenanga.
The pennant understood. His teammates must still be very surprised.
Then the ER room opens. Kenanga and Panji stood up.
"How's Doc doing?" sambar Kenanga direct.
"Fortunately the shot missed. His skin was only slightly torn, there was nothing to worry about. I've sewed it. "clearly the doctor calms.
But anxiety still wallowed in Kenanga's chest. He could also feel almost overflowing emotions in his heart.
"Can we go see him?" ask Panji.
The doctor nodded, "Please. But don't be long. It's been too late. Both the patient and you should rest. You've had a rough night."
"Thank you doc." said Panji. The doctor also left.
After the doctor died, Kenanga went straight into one of the rooms where Alfin was. As soon as he opened the curtains, Alfin was seen sitting in the cage with his hands flattened.
Alfin and Kenanga looked at each other.
"Clean, sa-"
Plaques
Unfinished Alfin spoke, Kenanga slapped Alfin's right cheek hard. His breath rose and looked at Alfin full of emotion. Panji and Satya who had just arrived were also shocked when they saw it. They could feel the aura of Kenanga's anger.
Alfin was stunned when his cheek was slapped by Kenanga. Honestly, Alfin never thought, the first action Kenanga took was to slap her.
"Leather..."
"What basis did you save me? Do you know who here has the right to do it?!" yangkana Emotion.
"I'm.." Alfin was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say seeing Kenanga this angry.
"I'M SOLDIER! IF I HAVE TO DIE, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DIE. ON WHAT BASIS DID YOU AS A CIVILIAN SAVE ME LIKE A HERO?!" kenanga Sentak. His breath was heavy and his face was red.
"Lieutenant.control your emotions." Panji said trying to calm Kenanga's emotions.
"I spontaneously did it." Alfin chirped. "I saw the gun pointing at you and I can't think of anything else but saving you" he continued.
"I know, you're a soldier. Obviously you don't need to be protected by an inexperienced civilian like me. But I never thought if you were a soldier or not. I do it on the basis of humanity. I can't just shut up to see someone in danger."
Kenanga. He stared coldly at Alfin making Alfin quite intimidated.
"You need to think about your life. Don't care about others to give your life. To hell with humanity. You'll get nothing but pain." sizzled Kenanga.
Alfin was stunned to hear it.
After saying those sharp words, Kenanga immediately left just like that.
Panji could only sigh at Kenanga's lost control. He looked at Alfin who was displaying a guilty face.
"It looks like Lieutenant Kenanga is very angry at me. Forgive me for my heroic act." said Alfin regretfully.
Panji shook his head, "You don't have to apologize. Lieutenant Kenanga was angry because she felt guilty. He doesn't like being indebted to someone much less owe a life."
"I didn't know he'd be that angry." said Alfin.
"Lienan Kenanga has bad memories of that. She lost someone close to her because she was trying to protect others. All that remains of those memories is pain. That's why he behaves like that. He did not want those memories to repeat. He doesn't want to bear any more guilt." Panji said.
"It seems you know him very well." Alfin commented.
Panji just smiled faintly, "Rest. Don't think too much. The lieutenant will return to his original state." said Panji ignoring Alfin's previous remarks.
Alfin nodded his head.
"I'll excuse you then. If there's anything, call me."
"Thank you, Panji" said Alfin and Satya.
"In that case, good night." she then left.
After Panji died, Alfin sighed softly. He felt overwhelmed with Kenanga's emotions earlier. He had never seen Kenanga that angry. Is his action right? Or is it as Panji says that it is his guilt to her?
Apart from that Alfin hopes that Kenanga no longer feels guilty and his emotions can evaporate. He also wanted to say that even if time was repeated again, he would still save Kenanga.
