The Love of the Captain

Romantic Couple

The next morning, Tores approached Arjuna who was still sitting outside, just like the place last night he was secluded, under the pretext of being on guard, but he just did not want to engage in any contact with Chery again, his mind is still turbulent and cannot accept the situation if he has to force himself to be familiar with the girl.

Tores situation has started to improve, since last night Chery keep and treat it.

"Izin Ndan, Miss Chery hasn't eaten since yesterday, I think you should persuade her to eat something, miss has not slept since last night." Tores said to be honest, she had tried to persuade Chery to eat, but she did not want to put any food in her mouth other than hot tea like yesterday morning.

"What does this have to do with me? If you don't want to eat, let it. It's spoiled!" Arjuna grinned indifferently.

"Miss is very worried about your situation since coming here, all night long Miss is waiting for you to come home, until morning she does not eat, just because she thinks of you who may not have eaten, and last night, she said, after you scold her, she cries incessantly until her eyes swell now, miss only worries about you at all times," Tores said, of course, of all she says, at 50% honesty and 50% of the lies made up of stories just because they want to see Arjuna and Chery no longer fight.

About Chery who has not eaten since yesterday is true and about Chery who has not slept since yesterday is also true but not as wellay as expressed by Tores at this time, especially to say Chery's eyes swollen from crying all night, that's nonsense, Chery did cry, but it did not last long, after a while he could immediately handle his own emotions, he said, he also helped several other people besides Tores who was injured last night, in the room.

"And, pity Miss Chery, she's gonna get sick if she doesn't want to eat anything." Persuade Tores again.

Arjuna harrumphed, "You're my aide or her aide, actually?" ketus Arjuna was cold, then got up from his seat.

In the room, Chery was sitting daydreaming in front of an open window, her eyes were empty to see what, three days already she was on this remote island, no one even looked for him and picked him up, no one cared about him, not even Dion who had been with him all this time, if it's her mother she's not surprised, because Siska has never cared about her except for the money made from her daughter's hard work.

Thinking about it all, tears did not feel back dripping on the smooth cheeks

While Arjuna, who had stopped his steps from approaching Chery and looked at her from a distance, felt a bit of a sense of unease, and was guilty, "Is it true that I was too cruel to her?" thought.

After grabbing a plate of cassava and boiled yam from the table provided by the residents, Arjuna again walked up to Chery and deliberately cleared his throat behind the girl's back.

Chery who realized there was someone else behind her immediately wiped her tears and glanced towards her back.

"What else is this? Not satisfied you scolded me in front of everyone?" chery's eyes turned to Arjuna's right hand, which thrust a plate of sweet potatoes and boiled cassava into his presence without a word.

"There are no fancy foods like the ones you used to eat, if you still want to survive, you have to get used to eating foods like this, but if you don't want to, it's up to you!" feeling his good intentions were not accepted by Chery, the plate was then placed just at the table near Chery was then walked away without wanting to start a debate with the sad girl again.

"Wait!"

Arjuna stopped his steps and looked back, "I'm tired and I don't want to argue with you."

"Sadly, aren't you the one who always invites me to argue and thinks of me as your greatest enemy?"cibir Chery's.

"You're right, you're my biggest enemy!" arjuna flat said.

But Chery also has no energy to argue with the man, he just let Arjuna say whatever he wants to say.

"Later in the afternoon, after all the conditions here are safe and under control, you'll drive me straight to the city, don't worry, I don't want to see your face any longer, either, eat if you really want to go back to the city, lest you get sick or die here from starvation, it will be very troublesome for all of us!" said Arjuna indifferently.

"Are you going to die if you don't act so annoying once when you talk to me!" annoyed Chery, but Arjuna just ignored her and replied to the words of the girl who now gritted her teeth because she felt very upset.

"Why are you laughing like that?" reprimanding Arjuna to his aide who apparently noticed his interaction with Chery since earlier from a distance like watching a drama lover who was fighting.

"You and Miss Chery are so harmonious, handsome and beautiful, just equally proud to admit that you actually care about each other, really romantic!" tores said while grinning.

"Ha, romantic? Romantic from where? Did your brain shift because of the bandits' punches that you became insane like this!" Arjuna shook his head a few times.

"This afternoon after all in safety, I will go straight to the city to deliver him, please take care of the injured members and citizens, he said, and later I will stop by the clinic to ask for the help of medical personnel some more people to deal with patients with severe injuries here later," continued Arjuna.

**

The afternoon finally arrived, Arjuna was ready on his bike to deliver Chery to the city as he had promised this morning, likewise Chery who is ready with a radiant face immediately headed to the passenger seat after saying goodbye to Tores before of course.

"Be careful on the captain's road, see you again, Miss Chery!" Tores waved her hand as Arjuna began to turn the gas lever on his motorcycle handlebar, and slowly Chery's back was unseen from Tores's sight, there was a sense of sadness and loss when Chery had to return to the city immediately, he feels so close to the girl that even though they have only been together not long ago, but Tores can feel Chery's sincerity, she doesn't know who Chery really is, he doesn't know the girl is a famous artist, he doesn't know that she's the stepdaughter of a state official, who he knows is Cheri the kind girl is his boss's lover.

As the sun disappears and the night changes, Cheri and Arjuna are still in the woods along an alternate road to the city, no conversation along the journey that has been running for almost an hour, they were silent to each other, busy with their own daydreams.

But suddenly the wind blew very fast, the dry leaves fell, and soon it rained down with a swift without warning, when they left earlier, the sky looked bright.

The journey seemed impossible to continue in such a state of heavy rain, but to stop in the middle of a dense forest like the one they had just passed by also felt more impossible, no place for them to take shelter there, not to mention the threat of wild animals will be more dangerous.

The night was not too late, but the situation in the forest felt very dark and gripping, especially in addition to the sound of branches and leaves that rippled due to the wind, making Chery's fur crouching.

"We can't continue the journey" Arjuna forced to pull off his motorcycle.

"What's wrong?" asked Chery, her body was shivering, her lips were turning blue, apparently she was cold because she was in the rain.

"A landslide, it would be very dangerous if we continued on our way." Arjuna pointed at a cliff in front of them whose landslide covered the path they were about to cross.

The light from the small flashlight that Arjuna was holding finally made the girl understand, it was impossible to continue on this journey.

But stupid, does that mean he has to spend the night with that jutek, cold, arrogant and annoying guy all night and just the two of you?

"Oh no, this situation is even worse than the war that occurred last night in the courtyard of the village hall," Chery protested to God in her heart.
