"Now it is not about who is the best in this family, but rather how we come together to be better every day."

"It's our first time eating together with our new family member huh, bang !" Aleesha smiled at Gaffar who was downing his bitter coffee.
Gaffar nodded and agreed to his wife's words.
"Yes right, .. This is a good start for us, Sha. but maybe last night I didn't take Adiguna for breakfast together at exactly seven in the morning, ... but let him know this new family habit . Adiguna is a good boy, you should have brought him along a long time ago.I definitely support your every action, Sha..!"
"When the situation was not possible, Bang.. well finally Adi came too, well it was neat too. Here Dii, we must eat together and must know each other well"
Adiguna pulled the chair in front of General Gaffar who had accepted him as his adopted son. Since knowing the results of Adiguna DNA and yesterday's trip from Jakarta to the city of Semarang, the relationship between Adiguna and Gaffar has become more fluid.
Gaffar's acceptance that Adiguna feels sincere makes him feel the meaning of a family and it feels like having a father. During his life he had never had anyone called papa and mama. If now he knows who his family is, not necessarily his original family will accept him.
It was different with Aleesha knowing her condition from the beginning, somehow with Gaffar, whether the man already knew that he was Handoyo who was an inmate and made out by his wife.
Adiguna was not convinced that Aleesha told Gaffar the details about him. He just goes with the flow and takes it where he has to go. Does Gaffar accept it if he knows his background, and still behave as if he is a friendly father.
"Adi... If you don't mind, I want every day we have breakfast or dinner together? Including if you're back in Jakarta?"
"Well papa, I will try at least every day we eat together, but may I stay at the house given by mama Aleesha in Jakarta," Adiguna applied to Gaffar, who was the one who wanted to eat, because if every day had to eat together, it could mean he had to move to the Gaffar official house, and it would make him unable to freely move .
Alesha was picking up a plate and filling it with fried rice and a plump egg and putting it in front of her husband, and she also took the plate back and handed the same filled plate to Adiguna. He served both men happily. Family life feels real and harmonious finally can have it.
"Ohhh. may, not necessarily at the same time, I will call you often, and if our relationship is getting closer I will take you to my leader... What about Adiguna and Aleesha?" Do you guys mind?"
"It's up to me anyway, it's up to Aleesha's mama, Pa," Adiguna answered quietly while enjoying his first breakfast with a new family that he thought was fun after all this time he only had a family that is from the Lidya family before they all died.
"Well, we'll discuss this when we're in Jakarta, bang. Now I want you to know him well...This adiguna can also shoot you, bang !" He's a lot of bad shooting practice who can fly.. Isn't he Adi?"
Adiguna smiled and nodded.
"Well better yet, sometime other than we are fishing in the sea, we are shooting for wild animals in the interior of the Kalimantan forest... You ever hunt, in?'
"It used to be. but it's been a long time, Pa !"
"You got a gun, Di?"
"No, uh, I used to have an air rifle in Bengalis, but since it's been out of use for a long time, the air gun might be a little broken and rusty, so I don't have it anymore."
"I'll give you the best weapon not only that for hunting, I've got some good weapons, we're going to practice shooting in senayan, emh. maybe in two weeks, after I clear up the case in Sulawesi first !"
"Well pa... I just come along, and thank you, it feels more fun than sitting behind an office desk," Adiguna smiled casually and began to enjoy her new role, which she had to play,
Indeed, Adiguna said honestly that shooting activities will be more interesting than sitting in the office and meeting many files.
"I'll teach you how to shoot, I was one of the most accurate shooters on the Garuda team. We have 5 core team people in shooting together with General Suhartono. But he's a complete package because he's able to strategize more powerfully." Gaffar said as he looked at Adiguna in more detail."At least you should know his strength and superiority before you attack him, in!"
Aleesha was stunned for a moment and she immediately helped Adiguna who was impressed by Gaffar's words.
"Bang, you want to eat as a family or you're directing a strategy for him to act." Aleesha said with a wry tone.
"I want us as a family first and enjoy our togetherness, you can teach him but not at the dinner table.. Can it be Bang?"
" well... eat Adiguna, before your mama gets mad at me again!" I want you to be the best in my family, Di and make what you want!"
Adiguna smiled at the familiarity of her two adoptive parents. Indeed, he wanted to immediately get information from Gaffar about General Suhartono. Is it possible in the near future? Or did Aleesha really want another plan. He had to follow the woman's plan because after all, it was the woman who had supported and prepared him.
"bangs.....Now it's not about who is the best in this family, but rather how we come together to be better every day."
'I agree, honey.Let's learn to be a good family!" Sha, what are your plans today? When are you going back to Jakarta ?'
"I have a meeting at the office at ten, uh.. by the way Nadia why hasn't she arrived yet?" Tumben he's not having breakfast together." is he bad luck ?"
" Ntar also he came.... continue when you want to return to Jakarta? This afternoon not ?' 'Gaffar awaits the certainty of his wife, because he already has to be in Jakarta tomorrow morning because he has some military tasks that are done and can not be postponed.
"I'm coming home next week, how's bang?" There was Nadia who accompanied me here .. brother just go home with Adiguna and settle the business in Jakarta."
"You should start reducing your work here, Adiguna's son who took care of it with Nadia?" You want to train his readiness, right?" Reduce your share in the company, Sha!"
Adiguna was silent for a moment and watched Aleesha. The woman smiled meaningfully at him and nodded.
"I don't care pa.. I who cleaned up the business here is also okay, there is Nadia who can help me," said Adiguna with full joy.
"great... This afternoon me and your mom are back in Jakarta, you're with Nadia, help take care of the company here!" next week we meet in Jakarta and next week we can practice shooting, how is Di?'
"Ready papa!"
Breakfast this morning went with a pleasant atmosphere. One thing that is new to the Gaffar family, an improved relationship with his wife and the presence of Adiguna as his adopted son makes Gaffar believe their life is complete already.
