Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Be with you, and Always Be with you #96

At 04:55 a.m., Central Hospital.

"It's really you, isn't it ...?!" with a slight sobbing of tears from being happy to see the presence of Berlin before him. Nadia hugged the man tightly as if she did not want to let go.

"If not me, who else?" sahut Berlin then kissed the wife's forehead gently, and then wiped the tears that wet her cheeks.

"Finally, you seem to disappear without news ...!" Nadia tightened her embrace.

Berlin chuckled at this, and then said, "excuse me, I forgot that there was no signal on the island."

Nadia sighed after hearing that brief explanation, before then she stared deeply at the handsome face and the two eyes of her man meaningfully. His heart was truly relieved and delighted with Berlin's return.

"You're okay, aren't you?" asked the woman with a soft-sounding intonation. One of his hands grabbed Berlin's cheek with a gaze that could not be separated from the man's two eyes. He could see a slight scratch on one of his cheeks.

Berlin smiled and replied, "I should have asked you that question." He grabbed his wife's soft hand, and then clasped his fingers.

The distance between the two of them was really very close, even slowly eroding as Nadia was about to speak, "i am very worried about your situation."

"I think I've been worrying you a lot, huh?" berlin murmured while closing his eyes when the two eyebrows of them met.

"It's my turn to ask. As long as you're away from me, you're okay, right? I've heard the situation and what's really going on" Berlin continued to put some distance between the two.

With a sweet smile plastered on her beautiful face, Nadia replied, "you don't worry, I just need to rest."

"What about ...?" berlin's gaze was fixed on his wife's large belly, before grabbing it and caressing it with one of his hands.

"Looks like he's a strong boy, Berlin. The gynecologist had checked it, and thankfully the results were very good. There is nothing to worry about," replied Nadia again slowly grasping the hand of the man who seemed to be busy stroking her stomach.

Berlin heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart felt much better when it saw that his wife and his future son were fine.

"Oh yeah, aren't you with Siska? Then where is he now?" ask Berlin. When he got to the room, he saw no one but his wife sitting in the gurney.

"After taking me and having accompanied me for a while here, he got a call from Prawira. I don't know what he's doing and where he is now" Nadia replied.

Berlin moved from the position that previously only stood beside the gurney, now sitting right on the edge of the gurney so that it could be closer to Nadia.

"Have you met Carlos?" berlin asked as he sat down and was very close to the woman.

Nadia nodded and replied, "yes, and she had a chance to show you an official letter like you said before."

"He didn't mess with you, did he?" sahut Berlin who seems quite worried about it.

Nadia shook her head and replied, "no, not at all."

"Even when he saw me, he just kind of just walked away from me" she continued.

Nadia turned her head and looked up slightly to be able to look into her husband's eyes before then speaking, "i think she's starting to change, baby."

"But from her attitude talking to me, as if she still cannot forget the events that have passed," continued Nadia slightly bowed before then leaning her head on the shoulder of the man beside her.

"Thank God then, what matters to me is your condition" murmured Berlin grasping the wife's soft fingers, and then kissed her forehead again.

Even if it was just one day they were both far apart. But with all and what happened, it was enough to make the two put each other's longing mixed with anxiety in each other's hearts.

"Berlin, I want to go home" muttered Nadia as she hugged her man's arm with her eyes slowly closed due to a deep drowsiness.

"Yes, of course we will go home" replied Berlin.

Berlin let out a long sigh while embracing his woman with gentleness. He certainly wants the same thing with his wife, but he is not sure the desire and hope can be fulfilled quickly.

As Nadia lay tilted towards Berlin, her sleepy gaze still could not escape from the man's face. He could see how tired the man was, seen from his eyes that could not hide a lie.

"You must also rest ...!" pinta soft Nadia with the condition of her hand grasping a strong fingers belonging to the husband.

"Yes, of course," replied Berlin and then kissed his wife's sweet forehead once more, and then confirmed the blanket she was wearing.

Berlin then sat on the side of the gurney, accompanying his sleepy wife to sleep, but Nadia had not yet slept.

"Berlin, I'm thinking about how Akira and the others are. Do you know anything about them? I called Alana and Miss Helena, but there was no answer." Nadia spoke with great anxiety in her eyes, especially when she mentioned Akira's name.

Berlin recalled what Carlos had said when explaining the situation of the city at his meeting at his residence some time earlier. Carlos explained about which areas had fallen in the hands of the Clone Nostra, and he mentioned that the eastern region of the city also fell into the hands of the syndicate.

Given the location of the orphanage belonging to Madam Helena and Alana as well as the place where Akira lived was in the Eastern District. Of course Berlin is thinking about their safety conditions.

"I don't know, but obviously we pray that they're okay" said Berlin, clutching her fingers tightly.

"Have it, you don't think too much about something first ...! You better rest for a while, both eyes are also sleepy that way, loh!" berlin continued to warn his wife to rest and not be too thoughtful about it. Of course, he did not want Nadia to fall ill due to too many thoughts and lack of rest. Moreover, the condition of the mother is very influential on the condition of the prospective baby who is in the womb.

"May they be well, and already be in a safe place, yes." Nadia looked very hopeful with what she said, before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

"Yes, hopefully," murmured Berlin to review his smile when he saw the sleeping face of his wife, the face he longed to see so much during his time away on the island.

Nadia's hand was so strong that she clasped Berlin's fingers even though she was asleep, as if she did not want to escape from the man. Berlin smiled as his hands continued to be held by the woman he loved so much, "if this is the case, it feels like I don't want to go-away anymore," she said.

Then the man drew his lips closer to one of the wife's ears and whispered, "yes, I'll stay here, keep you company and always be with you."

Suddenly the previously very tight grip slowly weakened and made room for Berlin to move his hand. Nadia opened her eyes slightly and said, "promise ...!" whispered.

Berlin smiled and nodded saying, "i promise ... will not go again without your permission."

Seeming satisfied with what she had just heard, Nadia closed her eyes again and continued her sleep with a thin smile that was visible on her sweet lips.

"Tokyo, there are still some people who seem to be late to evacuate to the safe zone. What should we do with them?" ask a man who seems to be a Tokyo man. He looks very submissive when dealing with the man named Tokyo.

"In which region?" tokyo asked.

"Eastern District."

"Take them prisoners!" teetah Tokyo's.

"What about the kids we met?" ask his men for one more time.

Tokyo chuckled at the doubt, "wasn't my previous order clear?" he said with low intonation but impressed sharp and terrible.

"Ba-good!"

The man who bowed to him immediately went and carried out Tokyo's decree. A moment later, a woman named Karina came to him and told him, "Honey, the person you want to meet has arrived at Balaikota."

Tokyo grinned faintly at the news, "well, I'll be there soon" he said.
