I WAS CHOSEN
Conflict 2(ADAM POV)

I lay my body on the bed.

I took a long breath.

"Huuuuuiiuuuhftt."

I have to explain where Mama started with Adel.

While he already considers Mama like his own parents.See Adel can also accept both Mama.

O Allah, whether this has indeed become my story.What is this I finally have to forgive Mama, buried deep in the family past that I can not forget.Mama's betrayal to Papa, Papa,and Mama who also had the heart to leave me and Aisyah.Huntil Aisha died.

The shadow left by Papa when I really needed it.When I needed his support through all the education in the TNI.So I had to survive alone for all my dreams.

Where was Mama all that time?Where is Mama when I need her?

Until without me realizing I was asleep with all the shadows of the family's imperfect past.

The dawn prayer woke me up, It was hard to open my eyes but I had to pray.My head felt heavy, and it was cold to ambush me, what is it with my body? the longer I shiver.

"Sir Odi!Sir...Mr. Odi.....!"I shouted to call Mr. Odi.

I knew he must have woken up, because he was Papa's replacement every dawn that woke me up.

"Yes!"A sound was heard from outside.

A sound of feet then knocked on my door.

"Mas Adam!"He kept knocking on my door.

"Get in sir!"I told him to go straight in, because I couldn't stand the cold.

"Well, can I help you?"When Mr. Odi came in and saw me roll a blanket.

"Please make some warm tea for me!"I was thinking maybe it was just me getting tired and stitching my stomach in a gunshot wound while on duty in Lebanon yesterday.It was fortunate yesterday that Adel's pinching time wasn't on this wound,if this wound were pinched I'm afraid he must be worried because I would have been in pain.

Mr. Odi rushed to make me warm tea.How long he had brought a cup of warm tea.

"Is there any more?"He seems to know I'm not feeling well.

"Pick up the medicine in that nightstand closet."I pointed to a nightstand closet in the room.

Mr. Odi immediately looked for it, and found a painkiller that I now often drink because it looks like my gunshot wound.

"It's Mas!"Give me the medicine.

I keep trying to drink it even though this body is like being on an iceberg.

"I'm making breakfast!"Mr. Odi thoughtlessly, without even waiting for my answer he came out and made me breakfast.

It felt gradually improving even though it still felt cold.I went back to sleep.

"Yes...!wake up, your body is hot!"A voice I know very well.

I always dreamed this voice would one day decorate every morning when I opened my eyes.

Slowly I opened my eyes, I saw someone who woke me up by stroking my hands.

"Abserve...!"I was surprised Adel was already in my room.

"Alhamdulillah!you wake up too!I'm afraid you've got a high fever from earlier ain't coming down, I'm waking up I'm not getting up!"He was nagging but looked very worried.

"How come you're here?"I'm still amazed he knows where my house is.

"Well, I'm pretty normal to know!"He chuckles with his own babbling.

"Paracetamol time!"I'm chiming.

"Paranormal sir!You've never been to a language class!"He comforted me.

"Look tofu!"I tease.

"You can get hot rich see the new neighbors buy new necklace bracelets!"He continues his ridiculousness.

"She's not wooing Mas but she's giving DP!"

"DP?"

"Yes DP to love me!"He chuckles amusedly.

"If he only gives you DP, Mas will pay you in full, how?"I teased him with a dirty smile.

"Oh yeah, it's not funny!"It seems like she's scared because now she's in my room and just the two of me.

He stood up as he sat next to me.

I took his hand, though,

"Mas Adam, don't be kidding!"He tried to let go of my grasp.

"Haha hahaa!"I laughed satisfied, because it managed to make Adel afraid.

"Why?"His face began to show anger.

"OK..okay..sorry..sorry....sorry...!where are you going?"I'm trying to prevent it.

"I don't like it when you're late!"Manyun.

"Yes sorry!My joking!Mas laper, can you please get me some food?"I'm really hungry, I see it's ten in the afternoon.

"What do you eat the same?i'm bakatin!"She is a sincere woman.

"Ga!Please get me Mas's phone, in the living room like it!"

"Say they want to eat!why are you looking for a cell phone?!"He started nagging me which always made me gemes.

"I want to call Deni to find a mate!uh eat for both of us!"Obviously me.

Without a word he searched my phone and brought my phone back.

I called Deni to order lunch for me and Adel.

Honestly, I don't want to look weak in front of Adel, because I know he's the one who needs the backrest, if I'm sick who's going to protect him.

I permit to shower and change clothes.If this body still feels cold, and heavy head.But I must still look better.Agar Adel also not worried.

After bathing and changing clothes, I followed Adel who was in the garden behind the house.

"Here!"I saw him looking at the koi fish pond that was fighting over the food he threw into the pond.

"It's over!"He saw me neat.

"Food has been prepared Mr. Odi, so we eat!I am hungry too!"I invited him to eat.

Suddenly my stomach was cramping, and I could not help but endure the pain, until I finally sat down in the garden seat.

"Why are you?"Adel was so worried to see me in pain.

I couldn't answer his question because of the pain I was feeling.

He reached into his pocket, and pressed the button on his phone.

Shortly Deni came with Erda.Bring my family doctor.

About half an hour I was treated by my family doctor.

Adel must be panicked and worried Seeing me in pain.Actually I do not want him to know about this.Because for a soldier of this country is a common thing.But this is the first thing that Adel feels when he sees a man the man she loved felt pain because of his duty.

"Quiet Del...Doctor Haris can definitely handle this, as a soldier this is a common thing!"Erda tried to calm Adel down.

"meaning?"Adel was confused at Erda's words.

"As a soldier we're used to gunshot wounds.That life is at the tip of the bullet is nothing compared to our failure to keep the peace."Erda

That is what we are, our duty is to maintain the peace of the country, the world is also our world is the family.
