The Love of the Captain

Your mother?

Today, on the fifth day Chery was arrested, she was summoned and taken out of custody, a female officer took her to Arjuna's room, chery's heart sparred erratically while reading the signboard attached to the door of the room he was about to enter. Chery had not prepared herself to meet Arjuna, but fortunately in the room there was also Sean who greeted her with a big smile.

"Sean," call Chery.

Sean patted the empty chair next to him, hinting for the girl to sit beside him, while Arjuna who had been pretending to be busy with the file in his hand could only steal a glance through the tip of his eye.

"The file is complete and appropriate, as long as the investigation takes place your client can become a city prisoner, he said, I hope you and your clients can be cooperative and willing to come at any time if we need any information or anything related to this case." Arjuna handed back the consent file for the suspension of Chery's prisoner which he had just signed, of course, all of it was in accordance with applicable legal procedures, and to a Sean Malik, who was not involved, it was something easy.

"We understand, and I didn't tell you that I would be a guarantee if my client tried to escape" Sean replied straightforwardly.

"Well, if you have the courage to vouch for yourself like that, I believe." Arjuna said coldly.

"Of course I have to be brave to do that, because the people who were supposed to protect Chery were in fact too cowardly to do that, she has no one right now, she said, even the person she expected to protect her was---"

"Sean is enough." Prevent Chery from stopping Sean's words, she doesn't want Sean to open a story about his crying that night at the party.

"What do you mean?" Arjuna looked hard at Sean, he felt that he was insinuating himself, or maybe his sensitive feelings.

"No other means, I'm just telling you the truth, isn't it the fate of him was very concerning, for five days in detention, he said, no family or people nearby who come even just to visit, do you feel I'm wrong to talk, or maybe my words offend you?" sean asked with a face made as innocent as possible, but it just felt like an innuendo in deliberately to mock him for Arjuna.

"No!" arjuna asserted, really Arjuna is currently feeling being played by Sean, and he does not like this helplessness.

Chery was made as if he could not do anything to stop Sean's babbling, so in the eyes of Arjuna Chery impressed a plot to corner him.

For the first time they met face to face but did not greet each other, in one room, but they were like strangers, none of Arjuna and Chery who wanted to lower the ego, he said, yet both are tormented by equally great love and hate.

Arjuna stared at the door that was still wide open where Chery had been taken Sean out of his room and also out of the detention room where for the last five days he could still watch and looking at the girl even though from a distance, she would feel very lost and missed the girl, it turned out that she could not really hate her as much as she tried.

"You can stay here for a while, this is my apartment, and you can wear it, it's too dangerous if you live in your apartment, there will be a lot of journalists who know about it, my office isn't far from here either, so if there's anything, you don't hesitate to call me." Sean gave me his apartment access card.

"You live in the office? I don't have a problem with those reporters, I'm used to dealing with stuff like that." Said Chery, he felt bad if because of himself Sean had to stay in his office because his apartment that only has one room was used by him.

"I want to meet the family of the victim I hit. I want to apologize." Chery said, after knowing the real events, she was really in the haunt of guilt every second.

"His name was Luna, a kindergarten teacher, she was an orphan girl, and her immediate family was the caretaker who had raised her, her name was Ami, usually called Mother by her foster children including Luna, but when I wanted to meet her at the orphanage yesterday, they said she is currently being treated at the hospital." Sort Sean.

"I want to meet him, please take me to him, I want to apologize, and also want to visit the grave of the woman I hit. You can help me, right?" Chery looked at Sean with a pleading gaze.

"But--" right now Sean is really hesitant, if he should tell Chery that the girl he hit was Arjuna's future wife, really Sean can't bear to tell all that, anyway, with all the heavy burdens Chery had on her and the bitter journey she had gone through, it felt like Sean wasn't heartened to tell you all that, moreover, she remembered how devastated Chery was when she saw Arjuna who was with Ines at the party that night, although Chery never told me anything about her and Arjuna's relationship and even seemed to hide it from him, Sean could see how much Chery loved Arjuna, and vice versa, it's just that they are trapped in a difficult and complicated situation right now.

"Tell me at the hospital where he was treated, I'll go there myself if you don't want to take me, I also realize that I've been a lot of trouble for you, I can understand if you don't want to drive me."

"It's not so, but--- akh okay, okay I'll take you. Come on!" Sean is desperate, he feels wrong in this case, if he does not drive Chery, the girl will certainly be desperate to go alone and he can not let that happen.

After Sean gets permission from the hospital chief who is a friend of his father, he and Chery are allowed to meet Ami in his ward.

Chery opened her sunglasses and hat, but she did not take off her mask, when she entered the middle-aged woman's ward, Chery was now in the public spotlight, so Sean asked him to hide his identity if in a public space.

Chery's legs were heavy and her body trembled at the sight of the old woman's body lying helplessly on the hospital bed, he walks into the room alone and asks Sean to wait for him outside, he wants to meet personally with the old woman.

"Good afternoon mother" said Chery when suddenly Ami opened her eyes slowly because she felt there was someone else in her room, Ami did start to gradually well and had come out of the icu room but his condition was still weak, the woman just winked while pulling the arch of her lips gave a smile to Chery, the girl she did not know.

"Mother, I came to apologize. Because I've been-"

"Chery, what are you doing here!" snapped Arjuna from the direction of the outpatient room, Sean who stood guard at the door was unable to hold Arjuna to enter the room and finally caught Chery there, finally Sean's fear occurred, Sean, and this will be more complicated in addition to the more tormenting inner Chery later if until he knows the truth.

"A-Arjuna," Chery was no less surprised by Arjuna's presence there.

"What did you do to my mother? Please get out of here!" Arjuna dragged Chery's arm to get out of the room, really Arjuna would not if until Chery said a no-no and the health of the mother was dropped back.

"Your mothers?" chery's great-grandson, he tried to digest what Arjuna said to him and make sure that what he heard was not wrong.
