Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose

Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Fish #149


All the problems, all the grudges, and all the conflicts that have occurred have now been resolved. Ashgard, including Berlin, no longer had any problems with other groups. Their last problem was dealing with Clone Nostra, which the previous day had already resolved.


Two days later the post-conflict caused by Clone Nostra subsided. Press conference immediately held by the government, Garwig along with Prawira raised the talk in front of the public and media eyes. They have declared the syndicate Clone Nostra officially disbanded and purged, as well as Cassano (a group allied with Clone Nostra). With the capture of the two leaders of the two groups, it became symbolic that the two groups had officially disbanded.


In front of journalists and media crews, Garwig also addressed the question of the betrayal committed by Boni Jackson, along with his minions who have been lodged behind the government's good name. Nothing is covered, nothing is removed, nothing is engineered, and nothing is hidden. Everything Garwig conveyed honestly, straightforwardly, and based on reality. Not to forget he also conveyed the taking of the throne or position as Mayor, and at the same time asked for a voice from the community regarding approval as well as support for his ascension as mayor.


Two days had passed, and this morning Berlin was in his large family villa with his wife Nadia, and his future adopted daughter Akira. He sat in the living room on the first floor, and watched all the news. All that Garwig said, and what Prawira said standing beside Garwig. Berlin knew it first, and everything they said in front of the press was true or fact.


"Garwig is mayor?" muttered Nadia walked from the kitchen with two cups of warm tea. His expression showed shock and surprise.


"Yes, you don't know yet, do you?" berlin smiled.


"Not yet, I was quite shocked after hearing it just now" replied Nadia, sitting next to Berlin on the sofa, and then putting two cups of tea on the table.


Berlin itself was not too surprised by Garwig's expression directed to the media, and can be witnessed by everyone in the entire region. He had known the matter first, when he spoke to Garwig in the hospital canteen two days earlier.


In addition to talking about work. In talks conducted by Berlin with Garwig in the cafeteria at that time, also had discussed what decision the court would take on the betrayal committed by Boni Jackson and his minions. Not only that, Garwig also talked about him who had to take over the position.


Therefore, a job that had a very important role was offered to Berlin. Hopefully, Berlin accepts the offer and wants to join Garwig. A job or role that is very important for security, especially the security of the Mayor.


Until this moment, and until this morning. Berlin has not yet made a decision on the answer he will take to the offer made by Garwig. Although he knew, this offer was an emergency and was much needed. Garwig could be looking for someone else to fill the role or the worker, but it will not be that easy, and it will certainly take more than months, or even years. Because it is not just anyone who can fill the role or job offered. Only the elect, and the confidants. And Berlin really didn't expect Garwig to trust herself with Ashgard to fill that important role.


"Father!" the figure of a little girl running from the backyard approached Berlin who was sitting casually with his wife. "Papa, the fish in the back pond seems to be starving. How about we feed? Papa's coming, yuk?" akira said, holding Berlin's big hand, and trying to get her.


"Yes too, today Papa has not yet fed them," said Berlin, grabbing a walking aid stick leaning against the edge of the sofa, and then grasping Akira's tiny hand. "Yeah!" yells.


Akira looks very happy, and several times tried to pull Berlin to be faster. But Berlin's legs still in recovery can't support it.


"Patience, dear. Your father can't be that fast yet" Nadia sat down beside Berlin, and glared gently at Akira.


Nadia took fish feed stored in a small shed in the corner of the backyard. While Berlin, he followed Akira's small steps, although his own steps were quite difficult because he was still walking with a cane.


Akira was already standing on the edge of a fairly large fish pond that was between the backyard gardens. In the pond there are many koi fish swimming. The color of the fish is also very beautiful and colorful, some are red, some are white, some are yellowish, some are orange, some are orange, there is also one black koi fish. Not only the color, but their size also varies, some are large, some are small.


As Akira stood by the pond, the fish there seemed to welcome his presence. They tend to swim on the surface, frown, and swirl right in front of Akira standing. Looking at the fish, Akira's carefree and happy face could no longer be hidden.


"Papa, can I hold it, can't I?" cetus Akira, once turned to Berlin who stood with the help of a stick next to him, before then his attention was shifted back towards the fish in the pond.


Because the pool is not too deep, and not too far to reach the surface of the water. Berlin nodded saying, "may, but be careful! You'll be hurt ...!"


Akira was surprised to hear what Berlin said. Then he took a step back, and approached at the feet of Berlin, saying, "don't hold it, ah! Akira can't swim" he said with a very innocent tone and attitude. Suddenly what was said invited laughter Berlin who heard it. At that moment, Nadia brought a small jar containing fish food.


"What are you talking about, huh? Mama can join, right?" cetus Nadia, her sweet smile was on its back and did not seem to fade. The mummy approached Akira, and opened the jar containing fish food while saying, "yuk, we're stocking?"


Akira nodded and exclaimed, "ayo!!" excited about the little boy. Berlin just look, while Akira and his wife are spreading fish feed in the pond. Instantly, the pond water tempias due to many fish that immediately invaded the stocked feed several times hit the hands and also the light blue clothes belonging to Akira which is very close to the pond.


Berlin smiled happily for a split second, before then the smile disappeared. A flat expression as if in his mind being unsettled could be seen. With both sticks helping his way, he stepped away from his two loved ones, heading to a park bench located at the end.


Nadia is aware of Berlin's slow movement away from her and also Akira who is still engrossed in playing with the fish. For a moment, he let Berlin, until the activity of feeding the fish with Akira was completed.


Arriving at the park bench, Berlin sat there. The view of the bench goes directly towards the urban buildings that look very far there. Because the location of his villa is at the top of one of the hills of the city. So from where he is now, he can see the beautiful scenery, even though the sky tends to be cloudy this morning.
