The Love of the Captain

Thousand faces

"I, I had a fight with my stepfather that night, and on the way home I bumped into someone" Chery said, timidly.

How is he not afraid, if at this time he is like someone confessing to an officer who could have arrested him, he is also afraid of Arjuna's bad perception of him.

Bak in a lightning strike, Arjuna was stunned to hear Chery's confession just now, making himself feel blank for a while.

"Me-bumping someone?" paro Arjuna repeated the last two words that Chery said to him, as if he wanted to make sure that what he had just heard was true and not a mistake in his hearing.

His heart was pounding more and more, he could barely control his own mind, "When exactly it happened, why didn't I hear any reports of the accident, he said, it should be with a big name in your arms, this news will be great news, especially if the victim died." Arjuna Fishing.

"My mother and my manager have agreed to settle it with family, the victims are willing to do that." Sangkal Chery's.

"Family? You think someone's life can be replaced with the money you and your family have? You don't think about the people he left behind, you took someone's life and casually assumed it was done with money?" sewot Arjuna could no longer control his anger, he even kicked the wooden table in front of him to the ground.

Chery is strangled in fear, she knows she's wrong, and she also knows that Arjuna is a cop who upholds truth and justice, but he really did not know if Arjuna's reaction would be as angry as it was to hear the story, as he remembered he had spoken honestly and did not reduce anything about the accident that night, everything was as his mother and Dion had told him, for his memory of that night was lost and he could not remember it at all.

The only thing he covered up about that night was the attempted rape that Hasan had done to him, because however he knew how powerful Hasan was, if he told Arjuna that, so Arjuna said that maybe not only his soul is threatened, but the soul of the police officer will also be equally threatened, Hasan Basri is not a match for opponents, he said, he knew very well how cruel his stepfather was.

"Why are you silent? You're looking for a reason to avoid the fact that you bumped into someone to death because you were under the influence of drugs?" Arjuna grew impatient when he saw Chery looking at him in fear.

"Wait, did I say that the victim I hit died? Why do you continue to discuss the issue of life, in fact the man I hit is still alive today and nothing less, I even had a few times to chat with him, by phone, he said, it's just that we haven't had a chance to meet face to face since that incident because of my busy life and he also lives in a different city." Urai Chery breaks Arjuna's accusation.

"What did you say, a man? The one you hit a man with? Are you sure?" again Arjuna was jolted with Chery's statement that was really outside his dugan.

"Of course, for what I'm lying, you're a great and experienced cop, of course you can tell which statements are honest and which are lies," challenge Chery who feels she is really honest.

"But you're an artist with a thousand faces, you could be acting, pretending to be honest." Arjuna was not satisfied.

"Does that mean you're doubting your own abilities as a cop who can't blatantly tell which act and which honesty? If all the artists can fool you cops, then what about the artists you catch with cases?" Chery is waiting for Arjuna's answer to be stuck with his own question.

"Yes, maybe it's because the artist that's captured isn't very good at acting." Elak Arjuna did not want to lose just like that, how an investigator seemed to be able to lose to a girl who in fact he could see the honesty in his eyes, how could an investigator seem to lose to a girl who actually he could see the honesty in his eyes, it's just that Arjuna is not satisfied with what he believes.

"In other words you're currently praising that my acting skills are so good that you can trick the police like you? Mr. police, I've told you the truth, and I'm not acting this time, as long as you know, my acting fee is very expensive, so I won't be acting carelessly without any payment, he said, the loss!" chery.

Like a checkmate step for Arjuna, at this time he can not dwell anymore, 'oh come on Arjuna, did not you expect this answer from the beginning, from the girl?Didn't you expect that Chery wasn't the impactor who caused Luna's death? So what else is the problem?' arjuna inner protest.

"Of course, his name is Ali, he's from Palu, he's visiting his brother's place that night, if my cell phone didn't disappear during the kidnapping, I can show him proof of my chat with him, and proof of the transfer I give him every month" Chery said.

But Arjuna instead went to his room, after some time when he returned with the latest phone in his hand,

"You can prove it and show that you're right right now" Arjuna gave the luxury phone.

"I-This is my phone, you took it?" Chery cheered in disbelief.

"Berto's men gave it back, I was just charging it in the room, and was about to return it to you afterwards." Stuttering Arjuna, he suddenly became not too adept at lying under the eyes of Chery who looked at him sharply.

"That doesn't make sense, shouldn't luxury items like this be able to sell them? What bandits, they actually," murmured Chery while braining her mobile phone and then showed evidence of chat and everything about the victim he hit on Arjuna to prove that what he said was the truth.

"Again, as expensive as the phone, here will still be junk, because it can not be used, walkie talkies are more valuable than the latest expensive mobile phones." Cibir Arjuna, he no longer extended the matter after Chery managed to prove that what he said was true, moreover, all the evidence and also the results of his interrogation also showed that Chery was not lying or covering something.

Half an hour later after Arjuna disappeared from Chery's sight, the man suddenly came up with a bowl of boiled noodles in his hand.

"Eat, since I heard strange noises coming from your stomach, today I am going to the village, so I forgot not to buy you bread, I said, besides, let's just say this is my apology because I was angry with you, I also want to keep my promise while in the forest that will cook you instant noodles." Arjuna said softly, there was no trace of anger at all on his face, it seemed like he was truly sorry with all his accusations.

"Sir commander, your temperament is so bad, you scared me earlier, how can your anger that kicked the table in front of me only you redeemed it with a bowl of noodles, it's too trivial," chery protested, even though his mouth said that, but his hand grabbed the bowl of noodles, he was indeed really starving.

"Well, as a sincere apology, how should I make up for it?" after Arjuna, he was outrageous, and he also felt guilty about it.

"Isn't tomorrow a weekend? Looks like I want you to be the chef in this house for two days this holiday, after all, it's a pity that the vegetables Tores sent were just piled up in the fridge, if only I could cook," chery.

"just that? No problem, I will cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, during this weekend, if necessary I will also teach you to cook, gini-gini I'm good at cooking!" Arjuna was proud.

"Captain, has anyone ever told you that you're a thousand times better looking when you smile?" goda Chery repeated his words while they were in the hut that night.

"Thank you, you're the one thousand two hundred and thirty-one who told me this" Arjuna replied.

Of course the compliment wasn't the first time she heard it from Chery's mouth, she still remembered the girl saying it while in the hut, but again he felt awkward and his ears felt hot when he received the compliment from the girl whose face was as beautiful as the fruit of the cherry.
