LOVE FOR FOUR SOLDIERS
THIRD PERSON (3)

Natalia is reading a psychology book at Gramedia bookstore on Merdeka Street, Bandung.

"The book is interesting, Lia! Helps you train your left brain skills. But, it is so expensive! Just steal it, Lia! No one knows! CCTV is far away! Besides, if you get caught, you're still safe. Who would dare to arrest Pangkostrad's son, anyway?"

(negative conscience Natalia)

Natalia tried to hold back from smiling.

"The Negative is evil, Lia! He wants to trap you! Thankfully, you are reading again. So, no one is suspicious because you think about what is written in the book"

(positive voice Natalia)

Natalia returned the book to the shelf. The book is interesting, but it is expensive. He thought he was buying because he felt no need. Unlike most upper class children, Natalia is not used to buying things that are liked when not needed. Of course, he had quite a lot of money. His father still gave him large monthly money even the driver's salary and gasoline money still borne by his father. His four credit card bills are routinely paid by Bambang. Four credit cards is a meager sum for a general's daughter. However, Natalia from childhood was taught by her late mother to save money on financial expenses, although that does not mean being stingy with yourself. Just like most other girls, she enjoys buying clothes, cosmetics, perfumes, electronic devices, and various consumptive items. Moreover, he did not particularly like to hang out with his fellow general's children who enjoyed the glitter of the world without thinking about tomorrow. Natalia is not affected by living over-consumption.

Carlos took Natalia away. Their route of travel points towards Jatinangor. Achmad patiently followed. Eventually, Carlos' car stopped on the side of a highway in Jatinangor. Carlos left the car to the shop owner who seemed familiar with Carlos and Natalia. Achmad was forced to park his car in a rear row stall a little far away. Achmad nimbly crossed the highway and entered the area of shady trees. He was two hundred meters behind. After thirty minutes of walking, Achmad looked at his phone screen. Carlos and Natalia slowed down and stopped. Achmad half-runs to the Natalia and Carlos stops. Achmad sees Natalia very clearly now. Carlos was holding a three-year-old daughter while Natalia teased the child with her witty expression.

Natalia and Carlos seemed familiar with the boy. They're like ... happy little family???

"Whose son is that??? His son-"

Achmad recalled what happened a few months ago. She was told by Natalia to drop off a sack of Natalia-worthy clothes to an orphanage.

"The clothes are all big sizes, Lia. Got who?"

"Have Me in college! I'm so fat, Mad. Sometimes fat .. sometimes skinny. My weight is fluctuating. Not as constant as you! Anyway, if you knew Me then, you wouldn't want to be with Me, Mad!"

"Masaan .... Not necessarily! If you're pregnant with my son, you must be fat too."

"Hadeuh .. don't connect!"

"But, I know now, Lia. Your weight isn't constant just like your inconsistent love."

Natalia widened her eyes to hear Achmad's words. He approached Achmad and pinched him. Achmad tried to dodge while laughing.

Achmad sighed. She asked in her heart whether Natalia was fat while in college because of natural things or because of other things like being pregnant? Achmad. He must know every secret of Natalia. Achmad continued to observe. He chose a hidden place. Natalia is like a mother who takes care of her child. He patiently fed the boy. If the boy refuses, Natalia persuades him.

"Great!!! The sadist can be as patient as a child!"

Achmad tried to call Natalia. Natalia opened her sling bag and grabbed her phone. Natalia looked for a moment, but put her phone back in the bag. Achmad controls his emotions in order not to come to Natalia. Achmad decided to send a message to Natalia.

"Lia, where are you?"

"What time are you home?"

"Answer, Lia!"

"I'm not calm."

All Achmad messages get two blue ticks. Natalia's account shows the status of typing.

"It's none of your business!"

"Stop call me!"

"Lo is my father's aide!"

"Lo's not my adjutant!"

Achmad calmed himself down. She realized that Natalia was angry about her treatment this morning. At 07:00 p.m., Carlos and Natalia left the place. They walked through the now pitch-black area of trees. They each use a flashlight. Suddenly, three delinquents appear in front of Carlos and Natalia. They urge Carlos and Natalia to step down. Natalia scared. He understood that the delinquents didn't just want to rob. The bawdy look of the delinquents whirred Natalia's guts. Two men told Carlos to hand over all the luggage. One more person approached Natalia. Natalia started crying begging not to be disturbed.

"Who told you to go through a dark place, Tea? Next time, mah, avoid, oruh, Tea! Now, Teteh accompany A'a first!"

"Republica ... Achmaaadd ...."

Natalia only remembers calling her papa and Achmad. When that dirty hand touches it, something twists the person's hand. He screams in pain. The other two criminals also twisted their hands. Natalia. Achmad stands before him, but Natalia deftly invites Carlos to take back their bag and leave the place.

Carlos car and Achmad car entered the area of Dipati Ukur. Carlos stopped the car at his boarding building. Carlos and Natalia spoke for a long time. Finally, Natalia got off Carlos' car. Achmad was about to approach Natalia, but Natalia came to him first. Not yet Achmad spoke, Natalia hugged him while sobbing. Achmad took Natalia home.

Achmad turned on the car. Along the way, Natalia was silent. But, if she was stopping at a red light, Natalia clasped Achmad's hand.

"I swear I won't want to get angry again at you, Mad!"

Achmad laughed lightly at Natalia's promise and her way of saying. Achmad stroked Natalia's head.

"You promised to obey me and not hurry again?"

Achmad's question was answered by Natalia by showing two fingers forming an oath sign.

"But you must have one punishment."

"What punishment, Mad?"

"Secret!!! I'll tell you later!"

Achmad smiled knot. Natalia stroked Achmad's nose. Achmad leaned over to Natalia. Natalia welcomes him. They were both shocked by the sound of the car horn in the back. It was a green light! Achmad is running the car. Ten minutes later, the car entered Bambang's house. Natalia got out of the car and walked through the back door not wanting to meet anyone with eyes. He went straight into his bedroom. Rocco was lying on his bed waiting for Natalia's mother's return.
