My love is just one
101. Do we know each other?"

"I learned more from a defeat than a victory. So I know how to keep going and live this life by reflecting on my past mistakes."

*****

Ballawa watched closely, the man wearing the striped blue shirt. The man stepped past him and seemed to be staring intently at him. That look reminds someone. But who? Does he know her?" why does it feel like his face is unfamiliar?'

Pramoedya's voice interrupted his concentration and turned his gaze to the man who passed by him with Nana. Pramoedya continued to urge him to act immediately. He asked to stop the two who were walking to the office to carry out their activities.

What can Ballawa do? He must be wise in his actions. It should not be wrong to choose a stronghold, because he is an adjutant of both.

A difficult choice. One was the son of the leader of this country, General Suhartono and he had promised that he would take care of it at the request of Pramoedya's father who asked him to protect it with his life. While the other one is the son of his direct superior.

Very inconvenient. If this is a matter of war or other crimes, he will be all courageous in acting. It's a woman's business. But the woman was not only related to Pramoedya, but she had two lovers.

"Mas Pram's..." Ballawa tried to calm the man down by holding his shoulder and looking into the frantic man's eyes.

"Hurry to act Ball. I don't want them to linger together. I want us to take him to Jakarta to see my parents ?" I don't want to lose her, Ball..."  Pramoedya said slowly and impatiently to Ballawa. " Ball, I don't want to lose nana!" Let's think about how!"

"Trust me, Pram.if he is your soul mate, he won't disappear from your grasp.but that's the problem of how we convince your parents to propose to Nana.."

"Why? You also can't believe that I can take them to see Nana and her family?"

"Not that Pram mas... did mas Pram not know that Nana already has no family anymore? Only his younger brother lives who is now in army school in Magelang. Only General Gaffar's wife loves Nana and makes her his daughter?" We must be careful in our actions."

Pramoedya was surprised to hear Ballawa's explanation. Where he's been all this time doesn't know anything. Does he really love Nana, but he doesn't care about her. Will he lose to Adiguna? No. gabe. It cannot be lost to Adiguna.

"So what should I do, Ball?'

"I think it must be your father who met Aleesha's mother, that was the easiest way. Now Pram, don't be so frontal against Aleesha's mother, just follow her orders!' Say good-bye to Nana, I'll talk to that guy."

"I have to catch up with her before Nana leaves."

Pramoedya immediately ran away from Ballawa and looked for Nana who had passed with Adiguna. The two men were stepping out to a car parked near the post. They will enter Nana's car that Pramoedya had boarded with Nana to General Gaffar's house.

"Siname...."

The shout stopped Nadia and Adiguna's steps and looked towards the source of the sound.

"Nana wait!" Pramoedya accelerated his pace towards Nadia who had been waiting for him with Adiguna.

" Nana's....  Na, we have to talk important !"

"Speak what else mas?" We've been talking a long time in the car  ."

"Now we're talking there!" Pramoedya pointed at the sofa on the front porch, but was rejected by Nadia.

"Here I have to work, mas Pram ... soon the meeting in the office will begin. and Mas Adiguna will have to lead the meeting in place of Aleesha's mother."

"I want to know your relationship with him?" Tell me the truth, Na." Pramoedya said as he looked at Nadia and Adiguna alternately.

"I mean Pram, is he ? He is the son of General Gaffar and he has always helped all this time..Why do not Pram like it?

"I don't like him!" Pramoedya while pointing at Adiguna.

"Gak papa mas Pram ...  Mas Adiguna is a good person ko.. I also do not ask Pram mas to be with me or like it."

"Yes,...

As Nadia and Pramoedya spoke with some emotion. Adiguna's shoulder was patted by Ballawa and made Adiguna's forehead flinch at the man.

" I'm sorry.. Can we talk to you for a second? Just let the couple chat and finish their feelings of kangen "Ballawa said as if provoking Adiguna and greeted the man with a smile.

Adiguna and Ballawa went a little further leaving Pramoedya and Nadia still talking. Adiguna also did not want to be among them, but the voice in his little heart hoped that Nadia rejected Pramoedya.

"I'm sorry. I'm not banning you between Nana and Pramoedya, but I just want to settle my curiosity."

"Yes, it doesn't matter. What can I help you with, sir?" Adiguna tried to be polite and looked into Ballawa's eyes as if investigating her.

"Have we met?" Have we known each other in the past?" Ballawa immediately asked the man in front of her.

"No. We just met now, sir."

" O.. may you know your origin? Actually I could have seen the details of the army family's personal archive. But I think I've seen you where ?"

"No problem... I was raised and studied in Pesantren Al Hikmah .. Maybe you have heard about Kiyai Umar the leader of pesantren in Bengkalis?"

"Oh I know, some time ago I visited him .. Have you studied and lived there?"

"Yes. I grew up there."

"Well .. I don't think we've ever met. Thanks for the information!"

"No problem."  Does your friend always behave like that every day ?"  Adiguna opened a conversation with Ballawa while watching Nadia and Pramoedya."

"Hmmm..

"Maybe it's because he's a palace family, so we all have to comply with all his requests. But it's not easy to ask Nadia to obey, maybe you can explain it !"

"Yes, I know that."

"I say goodbye, because I have to go to the office, I will wait for them in the car !" Adiguna said goodbye while saluting Ballawa. The man also gave the same greeting to Adiguna.

Adiguna stepped towards Nadia's car. His heart smiles triumphantly as he recognizes Ballawa but Ballawa does not know him and he manages to outwit the man. The appearance as a more well-maintained and polite Adiguna is able to outwit him.

"I learned more from a defeat than a victory. So I know how to keep going and live this life by reflecting on my past mistakes."

Ballawa continued to watch Adiguna who stepped away from her. Suddenly a shadowy look of the man in the past that he would have shot and failed as if present. What surprised him now.

"Well... He is like Handoyo....... but there is no way he is Handoyo... he is in Nusa Kambangan..... is he his twin brother ?'
