Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Betraying the Establishment for Money? #174
The meeting of Berlin and his three trusted associates with the figure of Garwig has met the end point. On his way back to the villa, the rules shown by Garwig had previously managed to become a trending topic of conversation in the car. All three of his colleagues seem quite counter to all the rules that seem very stressed to obey and submit, which of course it is very contrary to the establishment of Ashgard.
"The time we should submit? Berlin, you founded Ashgard from the beginning always stressing not to submit to anything and anyone. You didn't forget that, did you?" adam said, driving.
"Yes, let alone that it is ingrained in the thinking of colleagues, and of course this will be a big enough problem for us" Kimmy said.
"Berlin, then what did Garwig talk to you about earlier when she asked to speak with four eyes?" asep interrupted the conversation of his comrades.
Berlin looked very calm even though two colleagues continued to shower themselves with questions aimed at ensuring his decision. He was silent for a moment, waiting until Adam and Kimmy stopped talking, and had prepared an answer to reply to the question posed by Asep who was sitting in the chair right behind him.
Once the calm is re-created. Berlin then took his chance to speak up. With flat intonation, and a cold-impressed attitude. The man said, "i understand what you think, and what you counter this job role."
"I think .. I will indeed betray the founding of Ashgard that I have made since the six years our group was founded. Because I thought, we can't hold on forever to that stance. If it continues like that, I think there will be no process and progress for our group."
Berlin sighed, leaning leisurely on his chair, with a foresight looking at the winding streets of the city's hills.
"If you're prejudiced, I'm betraying the establishment I made just because of work and money. The answer can be said yes. Because to be honest, I've been thinking a lot lately about the economy. Not only my own family's economy, but I'm also thinking of you, and Ashgard's economy."
"You remain my responsibility, and making sure you have a safe and secure life is my duty. Therefore I accepted the job offered by Garwig, and I felt that Ashgard's future was in that role."
Instantly the three comrades were made speechless, after Berlin finished speaking. The atmosphere of silence was re-created, and now completely silent, no one spoke up other than Berlin who was finished with his words.
"Yes, I know about the responsibility you have over us, Berlin. But do not let that responsibility exceed the responsibility you have for your family, your wife and your child ...!" Kimmy suddenly spoke up softly, interrupting the silence.
"Truely it!" timpal Adam, had turned a little to Berlin who was sitting right next to him, before then had to focus back on the street in front because he was driving.
"Then, what were you talking about four-eyes with Garwig? I'm still curious about it" Asep said, impressed quite enthusiastic and curious about the question.
"Garwig talked to me about the rules he showed us, and also about the Special Division that we would fill in the role."
"What did he say?" suhut Kimmy, who also seemed curious after Berlin gave the answer.
"Some things, one of which is the new headquarters for Ashgard," Berlin said, briefly. He told some things he had talked to Garwig before about the job, as well as about the rules that Garwig had discussed.
The talks of the four of them continued, from serious topics of conversation, to those that only contained jokes and jokes. The conversation only ended after Berlin arrived at his villa. Berlin arrived just in time, a digital clock coiled around his wrist showing ten o'clock past fifty-nine minutes. On time, like what he had promised Nadia, arrived home before eleven p.m.
"Go back to each other's houses, and rest! For the matter of duty or when to start active duty, we just wait for news from Garwig," said Berlin, already standing in front of the villa door that was tightly closed, even locked from the inside.
"Okay, boss ...!" asep replied, representing his two comrades.
"You also rest! Keep an eye on your health!" kimmy said, and his words were approved by Adam who also agreed.
Berlin nodded, smilingly saying, "thank you."
...
Five minutes later, the three colleagues had already left his house, more precisely his villa. Berlin slowly opened the locked door from the inside using the spare key he always carried.
Neunk .... Slowly the large wooden door opened, displaying the condition of the living room that was really dark, quiet and quiet. Berlin shut the door, and did not forget to lock it. Before climbing the stairs to the second and third floors, Berlin used to check every door and window in the villa, making sure that everything was completely sealed and locked. After making sure, and everything managed to make his heart calm and satisfied. Berlin just stepped up the stairs, through the second floor, and headed to the third floor.
Berlin opened one of the bedroom doors, and he found his wife and daughter sleeping under a warm blanket. The man came in, and shut the door of the room tightly, then walked over, and sat down on the edge of the bed, closer to the figure of Akira sleeping right in the middle of the bed.
"It seems that tonight you are right on promise" Nadia murmured slightly, lying down, trying to stare at the Berlin figure sitting on the edge of the bed with sleepy eyes.
"It's in line with what I said before I left, right?" sahut Berlin, standing up, stepped slightly around his bed to get closer to his wife, and then kissed her forehead from the other side of the bed.
"Did your meeting with Garwig go well?" nadia asked, smiling.
Berlin smiled and replied, "thankfully, smoothly" he said, looking at the wife's beautiful pillow face.
"Here you go, you go to sleep first! I want to clean the body first," continued Berlin, then answered by Nadia who only nodded with a smile. The man immediately headed to the bathroom at the end of the room, shortly after receiving the answer.
