Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Little ... Problem #200

Berlin stopped the speed of his car, stopping behind a long queue of downtown traffic jams. As always, and will never leave. The streets in the city centre always do. It's jammed, morning, afternoon, evening. More precisely during rush hour.

The man was seen sighing, because he had to be patient again to face the congestion that occurred. He glanced to the side, and then landed one of his hands on the wife's stomach, and then rubbed it while muttering, "stuck on, as always," he lamented.

"His name is also in the city" said Nadia, chuckling at her complaining man.

"Mama, why are so many cars on the same bike, anyway? What other event is there? Rame really," said Akira, asking with his innocent gaze that looked at every vehicle that stopped around his car.

"Smobacco division, baby." Berlin carelessly answered the question with a joke.

"Hus!!!" Nadia immediately nudged her husband a little because he had answered carelessly the question that sounded serious with curiosity. Berlin just chuckled amusedly while holding one of his arms that was deliberately elbowed by Nadia.

"They are busy with their own affairs, and use the same path as us. It's stuck, piled up like this." Nadia then looked back, looked at Akira who was also staring at her, and gave her answer.

"Oh," murmured Akira, turning his face towards the car window after getting the right answer. The scenery outside the window right now was just cars and motorcycles lining up in traffic. It is much different when traveling in the hills of the city. It is more beautiful because you can see the view of the city from above.

"The view of the city is boring," the girl complained, with a very low intonation, slowly leaning her head against the car window with a bored look.

Berlin just leaned back, turned and looked at each other with his wife after hearing her daughter's complaint. Both of them smiled faintly and both understood what their daughter was complaining about, because that was also what they were feeling right now.

In the middle of silence waiting for a long line. Berlin's cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket, indicating that someone was contacting him via voice call. Without further ado, after reading who the contact called him. Berlin immediately received the voice call.

"Finally I can call you, boss!"

"What's wrong? Sorry, I just turned on the phone" Berlin said.

"It looks like it would be quite long if it had to be explained over the phone. But in short, you have to be careful because Ashgard has been suspected."

"If you're wearing Ashgard's attributes, then get off the hook and don't wear them in public!"

"Wait, is it that dangerous?" ask Berlin.

"You can say yes, but you can say no. Because for the time being we haven't been able to confirm that either."

"Obviously, the Red Rascals and the remaining minions of the Nostra Clone are suspecting us, and it's possible that they're looking for one of us when we're alone or apart."

"OK, well, thanks for the information" Berlin said, before ending the call and saving the phone again.

"Who?" nadia asked, after seeing Berlin was completely done with her phone.

"Adam," answered Berlin briefly, stepping on the accelerator slowly as the line in front began to be empty.

Hearing and seeing Berlin only answered briefly with an attitude that suddenly turned calm with a cold impression. Nadia looked at her husband curiously and then asked, "is there a problem? Or is there a problem?"

Berlin sighed, briefly turning to smile and replied, "it seems so, there's a bit of a problem."

"No, honey." Berlin again stopped the speed of his car when the car line in front also stopped. He turned his head, grabbed one of Nadia's hands and then held it while saying, "just relax, the problem is not there."

"At the moment Ashgard is conducting an investigation into two groups involved in the chaos last week, and I have news that there is a little problem there" Berlin said.

For a moment it was very difficult for Berlin to turn away from the beautiful face of his wife. He continued to hold even a few times slightly rubbing one of the backs of the soft hands while talking, "after I spoke like that earlier, you should not be dizzy to think about it ...! And there's no need to feel guilty, because it has nothing to do with you, okay?"

Nadia nodded slowly, "i guess ...," he muttered.

Berlin chuckled and smiled at the expression that was previously moody with guilt, now it had turned into more cheerful as usual. He immediately refocused on his steering wheel, after the traffic jam in front began to slowly return to silence for the second time.

"Berlin, look ...!" cetus Nadia while looking back to confirm the existence of Akira, because the boy had just been silent and did not speak.

It turned out that the little girl was busy sleeping by leaning on the door and window of the car. It seems that because of the boredom that struck in the middle of the traffic jam, making him feel sleepy and eventually fall asleep. Berlin also saw him through the middle spy, and smiled to see his daughter who had fallen asleep.

"You've got the door locked, haven't you?" ask Nadia.

"Already," replied Berlin, still with a smile.

"Pity him, must be out of boredom," muttered Nadia, smiling warmly at how sweet the child was when it fell asleep.

"Carlos, how could they suspect us if it wasn't for you meeting your informant Mafioso?!" pekik Galang, faced with Carlos and quite angry with the man.

The situation in the main room of the Ashgard Residence seemed to feel quite hot. There was a bit of disagreement there, but everything was still under control with Adam, Kimmy, and Asep trying to break them up.

"You're hard to believe, not even to believe!" assertively Aryo, sharp to Carlos who just silently stood before his comrades.

"Even, enough!" adam, stand between them.

"It's not necessarily Carlos that makes us suspicious of them, is he? All of that is still your assumption and conjecture" Kimmy said.

"Yes, and because of Carlos we can also find out that our position is under suspicion. So we can't completely blame him, because he is also .. we can know that dangerous position," Asep continued, standing right next to Carlos.

Carlos looked very calm, although there were some of his colleagues who looked quite unhappy with him. They immediately accused him on the basis of conjecture, and not necessarily their allegations against him were true. The man did not even lower his eyes or head, and dared to make eye contact with some of his colleagues who accused him. Therefore their emotions are quite provoked just because of eye contact shown by Carlos.

"It is better to put aside our anger and emotions first, so that we can discuss together. Everything can be quiet, right? If you still can't, please come out first!" said Adam, standing in front of his comrades and speaking straightforwardly.
