My love is just one
132. In silence I know in your heart

We can hope, but not dream empty, try to make it real even if not perfect."

Love should not be said.

The banquet on the island of Petra has been completed and the president's entourage is heading to the fishing location which is located only 500 meters from the banquet.

"We changed plans ... Andre and the team remain here to prepare the ship and supplies for our return in the next two hours.let Adiguna keep the President fishing on site." Gaffar divided the duties to the members who escorted the President fishing.

At that time they were all preparing to fish and take out their supplies, but General Gaffar asked all the members who followed the President to clean up the ship and prepare a dinner party for tonight's trip, except Adiguna who will accompany the President fishing.

Gaffar's words made Adiguna surprised. Not lost the shock of Adiguna, the president called his name and invited him to leave the location of the banquet. The reflex of the call made him immediately turn to the source of the sound.

"Adi.. let's go !" The President had brought his fishing gear and stepped out of Adiguna which was still holding a large bag containing equipment that had been given by General Gaffar.

Before stepping Adiguna turned to his adoptive father, General Gaffar. The man nodded as if to show the command must be executed properly. Adiguna was still confused with her heart that kept pounding, she felt happy.

The pace is accelerating so that it is only two steps behind the president. Adiguna smiled. This was his first chance with a very important person in his country, and that person was his real father. This should be a moment of familiarity between father and son.

General Gaffar just told him to look after the president and that gave him a chance to get to know this guy. What an amazing thing. And it seems the president strongly agreed and immediately took him fishing.

"You've been fishing before, Di?' The voice greeted me warmly.

"Never been president."

"I'll teach you. This is a fun activity and can calm the mind. You will enjoy it. It is more fun than shooting or disabling the target... you'll know how it feels once you catch a fish..!"

"really ?' Adiguna listened wholeheartedly .

"I've shot a lot of criminals or Dutch soldiers or Japanese soldiers before. But it's long boring when you know they're dead in your hands... and it just piles up sins..when you sleep at night..Your heart becomes unsettled....have you ever felt it, Di?"

"When I shot the first time, I became unsettled and I felt guilty, but then I became ordinary,"  Adiguna answered quietly while imagining his first murder he committed in Andi's house, the house was guarded by many bodyguards.

Andi was the one who killed his wife's family, of course he had to take revenge, including this man. He is the forerunner of the problem. Adiguna lost his happiness when he saw the misery of his past without family and the story of Kiyai Umar about his mother who died in Bengalis.

There should be no need to be happy if the man invites him to go fishing handy. It must be a trap. Adiguna was still silent in her position. Adiguna is more than 10 steps behind.

"Di's....

hyne .

"Di...   Adi's..."The president called while looking over as he saw the man glimpsedly silent in his place so far behind. "You're daydreaming.. You didn't answer my question?"

"No problem.. I know you must be going through it heavily... Are you close enough to kiyai Umar ?"

"No. I'm such a wayward kid that Kiyai Umar used to tell me to study with ustads.

"You didn't actually grow up in Di boarding school. You're different from other boarding kids..my filing says that. I know you've done a lot of things before you got into this position.."

Deg.

Adiguna. Does the president suspect him?  What does the president want to know?" Did General Gaffar betray him and make him confess. Did Big Mama's mission fail ?"   No, he could still kill this man. If he had a fight, he would have won.  Why did the man smile at her.

"I'm happy to spend time with you. You know I used to love fishing with my friends.he was even when I was about to catch fish... he plunged into the sea and removed the hook from the mouth of the fish so as to prevent me from catching it. I always remember that."

"Why don't the president's friends want the president to fish?'

"Because he loves to swim and see free fish moving around...!"

"Did the president's friend never accompany the president fishing again?"

"no .. he's quiet in heaven!"

"Sorry President, I don't know,"

"Come here. I'll teach you how to put a bait in a hook."

Adiguna seemed to flinch at hearing those words. The man seemed to be being kind. It's like having a father. But he's not my father, he's teaching me because I'm one of his confidants right now.

The man taught wholeheartedly how to put up the fowl, hold the hook and how to pull the bait. It is really a warm atmosphere and far from the rough or arrogant picture of a leader. Is he playing father now?" Is this what it's like to have a family?"

They kept talking and laughing together until the hook was bitten by a fish.   Adiguna followed what Suhartono said wholeheartedly, until his bait was bitten by a fish. And the guy helped her pull the fish and it was really a fun thing. A feeling he had never experienced so far. It's a completely different kind of happiness.

"you know. I have three sons and they never once I fish with me... ! " I don't know my filings they won't like it... But with you I would love to fish with you... Could we fish together next time?'

"really?'  Adiguna gasped and immediately nodded. "I'm starting to like the president's fishing!"

the president heard it and laughed crisply."I know you must like him, too, Di...!"
