The position of the body is firm and alert, the chest is swollen, the position of the legs is sideways followed by the position of the body. The eagle-like eyes focus forward, then concentrate the power on the fingers.

The bullet successfully hit the center point of the target in the form of a circle.
Jefra lowered her gun, then removed the headphones attached to the ears. Then wipe the sweat dripping on the temples using the back of the hand.
"Wow, as always, your shot is more accurate than mine" said David, who was next to him.
The two of them were shooting exercises that were usually done to hone and maintain combat instincts. However, not with Jefra using the exercise to take her mind off the girl she missed, who else if not Renata.
Vivi walked over to Jefra and David.
"Don't you have to prepare for today's inauguration, Jefra?"
"You have to call him Colonel" said David correcting.
"I mean Colonel Jefra," ralat Vivi.
"Hmm," Jefra just muttered.
Yes, Jefra's hopes for promotion have been successfully achieved. Today Jefra will be sworn in to become a Colonel or the highest rank of middle officer. He was already the leader of one Intelligence battalion at a young age.
And that is the reason Jefra should refrain from meeting with Renata in these 2 Weeks, because of her preparations for the inauguration.
Since the age of 13 years Jefra has joined the Intelligence forces, he is a child who is trained to crawl through concrete pipes to prison. Since childhood Jefra had been trained because he was born from a military family, he was the youngest son of a Great General who had died 10 years ago. His older brother is now a 3-star lieutenant.
However, the truth is kept tight, David and Vivi do not know the real Jefra family, they do have their own secrets. That is because an Intelligence must keep identity secret to family, closest people, or fellow Intelligence friends. This is useful for minimizing the threat from the enemy, an Intelligence does have many enemies.
Jefra's gaze glared, remembering his conversation with General Sebastian.
.
.
Flashback in Italy.
"You are the second son of the late General Adelio?"
Jefra was surprised that Sebastian knew his identity, "Where does the General know?"
"General Adelio himself entrusted me with his crybaby son."
The one who trained Jefra to crawl through a concrete pipe to prison was Sebastian.
At the age of 13 years Jefra is a young boy. However, Jefra is now a young man who does not have the slightest fear thanks to the heavy training that has been passed.
"I've always been watching your incredible development" Sebastian added, tucked into a sense of pride in him.
"Thank you, General."
Jefra himself also did not know about the father who had entrusted him to Sebastian.
Is it coincidence or destiny?
"But I didn't expect if you had a relationship with my daughter," Sebastian said flatly.
Jefra took a deep breath. This is the time.
"I want to say that I love the General's daughter, allow my presence to color Renata's life and let me take Renata to a more serious level by marrying her," jefra said with a serious look and a firm tone.
Sebastian was speechless, visibly surprised by the bravery of the young man who proposed to his daughter directly in front of him. Especially in the circumstances of those who finished completing a big mission.
"Did Renata love you too?" ask Sebastian who has overcome his surprise.
"Yes, we love each other" replied Jefra.
Sebastian's gaze probed to try to find the lie from Jefra's eyes, but the young man did look earnest.
"When I want to marry Renata to your older brother" said Sebastian, who froze Jefra's body.
"Lieutenant Julian?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"But because his brother asked first, what can be done," continued Sebastian.
"I mean General?" jefra asked not to understand.
"I'll let you marry my daughter" Sebastian replied with a faint smile.
Sebastian believes Jefra can make his daughter happy, because he knows that if Jefra is a good young man, it is Renata who is lucky to get Jefra. Isn't this a big catch for her daughter?
While Jefra was wide-eyed not expecting, she thought she would get a rejection from the prospective in-laws.
"Under the condition of keeping your job as an Intelligence agent with Renata secret, I don't want Renata to be in danger because of that."
"Does that mean Renata will live a lie?" jefra's heart was pinched instantly.
"It's for the good of both of you."
End flashback.

The Jefra Ranking Rise Corps Report Ceremony went smoothly. Jefra got a lot of congratulations from everyone.
After that, this is Jefra, in a closed room with a tall man who looks almost like him.
"I'm getting married" said Jefra to the point.
Julian almost choked on his own breath because of his sister's sudden words, "Huh? Be married? You're gonna step over your brother, Jefra?"
"Yes, I will propose to General Sebastian's daughter tomorrow night" Jefra replied with a slightly arrogant accent.
"You kidding?" Julian was really surprised.
Jefra was silent, but staring fiercely at Julian, it seemed like she was still upset that Renata was almost married to her brother.
Julian immediately understood from the meaning of Jefra's gaze that was not joking, "You are married first rather than your brother, Jefra," fiercely.
"Ck, it's your own fault for being a weathered bachelor."
Jefra's words struck Julian in the heart, "You talk! Even though this is my rank higher than you who just became a Colonel."
"For what high rank if dating has never been," ledek Jefra increasingly become-so.
Now Jefra felt that if he was in the upper hand, he could finally boast to the brother who was 8 years adrift.
Julian stroked his own chest, trying to be patient. Although they were not very familiar with each other, Julian loved Jefra very much.
"So are you saying this to ask me to be your guardian?" ask Julian later.
"No need, I just wanted to tell you."
"Who? Why not need? Since Father and Mother are gone, I'm the only family you have, of course I'll be the guardian" Julian said.
"A man doesn't need a guardian."
Julian looked disappointed, but he was eager to be Jefra's guardian.
"I'm an Intelligence man, our relationship is a secret" Jefra tried to remind.
"Although to your future wife?"
"Yes, it's a condition General Sebastian gives me so that the girl I love isn't in danger."
"This is why I forbid you to become an Intelligence, why don't you become an ordinary soldier, anyway?" Julian expressed sourly.
"Because I want to follow in Mom's footsteps."
Another secret, Mother Jefra was an Intelligence woman who was gifted in her time.
Because I feel like there's nothing more to talk about with Julian. Jefra took two steps back, straining her body. Then respect in one movement with the right hand raised to the eyebrows, to form a 45-degree angle.
"I'll take my leave first, Lieutenant!"
Then Julian saluted Jefra.
