The Love of the Captain

All too suddenly

Almost two months passed, but Arjuna had not yet come to the Capital to follow him, yes, maybe the name of the work procedure and the move also could not be as easy and as fast as it was done, he said, especially if there is still work to be completed, because the institution where Arjuna is not owned by individuals, but belongs to the government, so even though he uses a special line, it still takes time.

There was not a day that Chery passed by without remembering her friendship with Arjuna, half dead it was like Chery was looking for a way to contact Arjuna, Arjuna, but the cell phone number that Arjuna had given him when they were separated at the airport was also not in touch, maybe constrained by the signal, thought Chery, Arjuna had only ever called him twice, too, he said he was in the city so he could contact him, they chatted like boys who were kasmaran and expressed each other's longing, the last chat, the last chat, Arjuna said that his letters to the capital were completed and that perhaps this month he would return to work in the same city as Chery, only that Arjuna could not determine the exact date.

"Cher, is there a golden wedding invitation of the police chief, come on? Pretty, look at the handsome cops, make ngobatin longing with your cops who never come." Dion handed over a lavish invitation to one of the top police officials to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

It is not unusual for celebrities like him to get an invitation from an important official, although not so familiar, to be able to invite top artists on his show is a prestige for the wives of officials there.

"this evening, huh? Okay, I also have no job, maybe I'll go, time to socialize, all look at the hypocritical faces in this country, hahaha," said Chery laughing amusedly.

"Your mother and Hasan will probably be in that place as well" Dion recalled.

"Well they're one of those hypocrites."

At 8 pm Chery was already at the event venue, in a luxurious 5-star hotel ballroom, Chery who came alone was greeted very well by the event owner, many high officials, and many others, important figures and also top artists were present there, including Meta and Rey who were also present among them, but they did not say hello to each other even though they had crossed paths, after the incident at the hotel restaurant at that time Meta seemed to be dealing with Chery, especially he also continued to be blamed by Kemal for Chery's exit from the production house owned by his father, so that the Kemal company must lose a nominal amount that is quite a lot.

When Chery was chatting with her fellow artist colleagues, at first glance she was like seeing Arjuna in the crowd of guests present, but Chery immediately dismissed her own thoughts, where Arjuna might be there but he did not tell himself if the man was already in the Capital, maybe this was because of the effect of him missing Arjuna too much, he thought.

Chery again enjoyed the drinks in her hands and also other dishes available there, to divert her mind who suddenly missed the figure of Arjuna.

Maya Hartono, the host of the event, suddenly approached Chery who was standing alone on the side of a rather quiet room, he had no interest in chatting with the wives of officials who only licked each other or showed off wealth.

"Chery Arleta, why are you standing alone in a lonely place like this, your father and mother are with my husband and son there, let's go there!" take Maya.

"Ah, it-it-it doesn't matter, let me just be here." Reject Chery, really he is very lazy to meet his stepfather at this time.

"Here you go, let me introduce you to my son." Take Maya again, this time the middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful like the office mothers whose faces are treated with expensive care pulled Chery's hand to follow her to the table where her family and Chery's family gathered.

The deg!

Chery's heart suddenly seemed to stop beating when she saw Arjuna was there, sitting among the guests of honor, but strangely Arjuna was cold and had never known and met Chery before.

'Ah, maybe because it's his boss's show, and he has to keep the image in front of his seniors and superiors, so that he acts cold and doesn't seem to know me like that.' Chery tries to think positively.

Although of course it made Chery confused and had held her breath for a few seconds, at this time she was really confused what to behave like, Chery was very eager to jump and hug Arjuna, but Arjuna didn't even look at her for the slightest thing.

"Chery, meet my husband, and this is my only daughter Ines and this is my future daughter-in-law, Ines' future husband."

The world was dark for a moment when Maya introduced her family members one by one, and what made Chery's world seem to stop suddenly was when Maya introduced her future daughter-in-law, which he clearly pointed towards Arjuna.

"Ar-ju-ne." Chery's great-grandson was weak, she was still shocked and unsure of what she had just heard.

"You know each other, honey?" Ines glanced at the spoiled Arjuna who was also looking at him lovingly.

'Honey?!' the call of Ines who called Arjuna affectionately sounded like a flash of lightning striking right in Chery's ear, and broke her heart instantly, making Chery who was always brave and outspoken in all things was suddenly mute, her tongue felt mute and could not speak a word.

"We saved this lady when she was kidnapped by bandits on the island I was on, just to the extent that, I was just doing my job, nothing more." Arjuna replied as if deliberately sprinkling salt on Chery's heart which was now wounded.

"Ah you are great, dear, you managed to save the great artist as well as the son of an important official, father,, my future husband should get a promotion for his success," Ines now turned to glance spoiled at his father.

"It's my job, whether artist, official child or god child, it's all the same in my eyes, nothing special." No matter what happened to Arjuna, three weeks ago when the last time the man called Chery, he still said he missed and declared his love, but why suddenly now it's like this, something must be wrong, Chery thought. Or maybe he is a victim of PHP Arjuna, what could Arjuna is a jerk who often seduces and seduces women, and he is the victim?

"Thank you, commander, for your kindness that saved me, may the kindness of the commander in the reply of the Almighty God." With a slightly trembling voice finally Chery could speak a little.

Feeling unable to stay between Arjuna and the people who only made him sick, Chery said to meet his friends, which in fact was just an excuse, he wanted to rush away from there because his chest was tight, his eyes were hot, it seemed like he could no longer hold back his cries, and he did not want to cry in front of them, in the presence of those who made him sick and wounded.

Half-run Chery towards the balcony ballroom that looks lonely, she just wants to cry at this time, that's all she does not want anything else.

Chery sighed very long when she reached the balcony, the bright night sky full of stars was ironic with her overcast heart and filled with black clouds, indeed he wished that all this was just a dream, a nightmare even more terrifying than the sighting of the blood-stained woman, Chery holding tightly to the iron balcony, which had been sealed, his legs are now limp like jelly, he wants to scream, what is wrong and his sin on Arjuna so that the man he loves and confesses that he also has the same feelings for her that suddenly changed, he said, suddenly becoming a stranger, suddenly becoming someone else's future husband, all of a sudden.

A hand patted her shoulder from behind, for Christ's sake Chery hoped that it was Arjuna who caught up with her and said that this was all just a prank that she deliberately made to make herself angry and upset, but when Chery twisted her legs and twisted her body, she, Arjuna, who he expected to catch up with himself and explain what was really happening from a distance, was seen dancing with Ines amid boisterous applause from the guests, that seemed to be letting down and cheering for the pain he felt at this moment.

"Chery, are you okay?" ask the man who is now right in front of him, but not at all Chery ignore it makes Chery realize that there is someone else in front of him now.

"Sean?" chery's great-grandson stammered, his tears now even had a river in his cheek.

"What happened, did someone bother you, or did someone hurt you?" sean asked, he was very sorry for Chery who looked so devastated, Sean even ventured to hug Chery's body which seemed very fragile at this time, he said, because women only need a hug when they are sad.

But instead of answering, Chery's cries became more and more in Sean's arms, making the cool widower confused about how to respond to Chery at this time.
