My love is just one
131. Silent but understanding

The language of friendship is not reflected in words, but understanding each other meaningfully.

A true friend is one who stays faithful to accompany you when everyone is away from you.

Every now and then the salty sea water slammed into the face of the man sitting on the edge of the ship. They said slowly so as not to be heard by the other man on the ship.

"In the near future the dolphin troupe will come General !"

" What are your plans, Gaffar? I know you have a special plan? Why did you force me to Petra? Can we fish anywhere?" no reason to see dolphins.We often see it in all waters of Indonesia."

"I want you to know him, General !"

Gaffar's eyes moved as if pointing at Adiguna sitting alone not far from Andre's driving position. The fastness of this sea ship makes the sound of both is not heard because the sea breeze blows to the rhythm of the roar of the ship.

General Suhartono aka the President followed the tail of Gaffar's eyes which pointed at a man who was quite gallant and looked very agile. The man called Gaffar was the adopted son Aleesha had just brought in a few months ago.

The man looked indifferent to his surroundings but looked very deft and very trusted by Gaffar. However, it seems that all members of his bodyguards are less friendly with him. Is the competition between his guards getting sharper? Suhartono.

'Why that kid? "

"Let's take a closer look at the way he shoots, you'll notice it .. the way he walks... do you recognize him?"

"You mean ?'

'You must understand what I mean?"

Suhartono fell silent and began to notice Adiguna more detailed. The young man wore a hat and sunglasses according to what his men used. Samaran as the President's bodyguard. Quite fitting considering the posture is appropriate.

He noticed that his nose was pointed and his lips were slightly thick and it reminded him of someone. Until Gaffar mentions a little clue that makes him crispy.

"He once lived in Bengalis and was taught directly by kiyai Umar." Gaffar said quietly and the gazes of the two friends met.

"How old is he?" Suhartono said slowly and paid more attention to the behavior of Adiguna.

"Abaya with Pramoedya. twenty-five years."

'You sure ?" Not a trap ?'

"Yes.he never learned to shoot at any club.and there's no way kiyai umar taught him."

Both of them fell silent and continued to look ahead with their own thoughts, until the dolphin troupe passed their ship.

Handoyo smiled when he saw the dolphin troupe. He stood up. The ship was stopped and left bobbing in the middle of the sea and letting the dolphin troupe move with its sea dance.

Unexpectedly Suhartono stepped over to Adiguna who was amazed by a group of dolphins that seemed to dance on the sea water.  His right hand patted Adiguna's shoulder to make the man turn his head and showed an expression of surprise because it was unexpected that the one who patted him was the president.

"I hear you're a master of shooting ?" Can you shoot me one dolphin in the lead?'"

Adiguna was surprised to see who patted her shoulder. The President invited him to speak privately and wanted to see his skills. What an incredible moment.

'Every President."

"But with this dope shot, I want you to do it in the next 10 minutes."  Suhartono smiled at Adiguna and made this young man surprised.

The president's speech was also heard by Andre, so the man immediately helped Adiguna who asked him to move faster and chase the leading dolphins.

Movement after movement of Adiguna was observed by Suhartono carefully. The more noticed the movement was similar to him. Not many people can imitate his habit of starting his hand that holds his hair, the movement of pulling the weapon and the style of aiming.

Tar...

One shot, the dolphin flying in the front bounced. Precise and accurate. The shot is amazing and the style is distinctive . Did the television ever play it shooting style? Feels impossible. He never showed it on national television channels.

Not likely. Especially if he graduates from pesantren in Bengalis. It feels too strange if anyone does prepare this man can be beside Gaffar and make him able to see it. Was it Aleesha who really set it up or was it ?"

He looked back at his big nose and his slightly thick lips and it made his memory return to the past. That face reminded him of Yona. It's true that he has some in Yona.

-- -

"Mas..if mbak Tiara comes and wants to take it from me even have to kill me. I want my son to stay safe and let kiyai umar take care of him... if to save her you have to get rid of your family, then let her live away from you."

"That ridiculous plan is Yona!"

"But if to save him, please let kiyai umar take care of him... but don't let him die in Tiara's hands.I want him to see the world freely." - I want him to see the world.

"I can look after her and take care of you Yona"

"Say promise..."

Adiguna had finished tidying up his shooting gear when Suhartono called out to him. Gaffar got up from his chair and would make coffee for them.

"Where did you learn to shoot ?'

"Mama Aleesha once taught me. And I once tried shooting practice with retired soldiers who lived near the boarding school."

"Jeka saw your style of shooting .. You remind me of the style of someone. Your hands before setting the target and you always tidy your hair and it's like someone I know.!"

'He follows your firing style of President." Gaffar said as he left them and made coffee.

"You want to change your answer to Adiguna?'

"No President. I did study at the boarding school and once in a while Mama Aleesha taught me ." Adiguna seeks to reassert and reassure the President

"Do you like fishing?"

"Not the President"

'What do you like?"

"Shoot and eat well.." Adiguna tried to answer the question while half joking.

"I love to see your style of shooting, DI...Tell me the truth where did you learn to shoot?" That's not Aleesha's style of shooting."

"I've learned a lot of self-taught.and I've never seen you shoot the President.if you're offended at the way I shoot. I'm sorry."

" It doesn't matter Adi... .. I just feel surprised. You remind me of myself when I was young... you're right to have my style ..." Suhartono smiled warmly at the young man.

Adiguna gasped and her heart pounded. Does the President know?" How'this? What he should do

"Di's.... The style has a weakness. Your hands will get tired quickly if you shoot in a war location..Hanrusy occasionally you movement your hands and waist.so can keep your concentration awake!" Less holding your head.let's just !"  I'm proud of you. You can fight to this position.!" Suhartono held Adiguna's arm and showed her weakness.

Adiguna's actions make Adiguna more confused with his feelings. This is what it feels like to be taught by a father. Is he being nice to me.  Is he really sincere with me ? Or is this a stratagem?" But he seems sincere to me. His eyes seemed to look until they touched the bottom of his heart.

Until a coffee glass is thrust Gaffar to him.  The man told her to drink coffee. But why does it not feel as warm as the offer of the ruler of this country. Has his heart changed?"

"Adi... later you accompany me fishing yes.. I will show you how to catch big fish and it's fun>"

"Good President."

'Can we do activities together often?" We can practice shooting.fishing and horse riding.I will teach you to ride a horse..it's a fun sport!"

"But..

"I'll tell Aleesha she can come with you if you want her to come with us "

Adiguna was more confused to hear the President's statement. But his brain did not match his heart and immediately reflexively said," Ready the President."
