King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 102 A Mission
We were in a special forces tent commanded by Refald's father, aka my own father-in-law. I didn't think my father-in-law's job was a member of a foreign special agent. Even from his conversation with his men, it was clear that my father-in-law was the leader of this army.
“Fey, get in your tent and rest there.” My father pointed at a medium-sized dark green tent. “I have to hold a meeting first, because it's very urgent. As soon as the meeting is over, I promise to explain everything to you.” My father-in-law, who I still don't know what his name is, patted me gently on the shoulder and passed away leaving me towards the big tent, it seems like it was specifically used as a meeting room.
I also obeyed my father-in-law's orders without daring to refute him. I went into the tent that had been specially reserved for me and tried to lie on a mat the size of one person.
As much as possible I try to relax my mind. However, Refald's shadow always haunts me. To this day, I don't know how he is. Whether he managed to escape or not. Where he is now, and is he okay. Plus, his own father said Refald wouldn't come to see me. It really made me confused.
All these mysteries and riddles confused me so much that it made my eyes hard to shut. I'm so worried about my fiancee. Although there was no denying that there was a little relief in my heart because Refald's father, who was not an indiscriminate person, had come here, and I was sure that he would do anything to save his son if only, Refald is in danger.
Three hours had passed and the sun had risen high in the eastern horizon. The sound of birds chirping sounded melodious in my ears that were still awake thinking of Refald. Though, I was sleepy, but these eyes could not be compromised. Finally I decided to get out of the tent and enjoy the morning atmosphere in the forest, this time of course without Refald.
Without it, my morning was gone somewhere. I always miss Refald. For a second it wasn't with me, it felt like a year. And I can't do anything, all I can do now is wait and hope that Refald's father can bring Refald back to safety.
I was still waiting for an explanation from my father-in-law regarding this complicated situation, but it seemed that he was busy planning something that I did not know what it was. They immediately said something for so long after I handed over the flash that Refald had left for me through Kun's mother. There are so many questions I want to ask my father-in-law. Because, when viewed from the conversation they do not go out the meeting tent, there must be something very important is happening.
Is Refald in danger? My mind and observe my in-laws' meeting tent.
Some of Refald's father's men came to me and brought me food. “Eat this,” have one of my father-in-law's men named Akbar, seen from the name of the light neatly taped in uniform. So, I can tell her name.
“Thank you,” I replied with a knotty smile staring at a piece of grilled meat that looked very good. “What is this, Sir?”
“That's a roasted deer, Aril's partner who caught him last night. The meat is tender and very tasty, try it!” Akbar stood in front of me while shaking his waist and observing around.
“Ehm, smells good. Thanks, Sir.” I began to taste the roasted venison which was very tender when eaten. Besides, it also tastes really good. These special members seem to be trained to be able to survive (survive) in the jungle like this.
“Sir,” I said before the members of my father-in-law's army left me.
“Iya! Can I help you?” Akbar turned around and faced me.
“Why, they were so long inside? Whataa... is something critical happening?” manya curious.
The tall and tall man just silently looked at me as if confused whether to tell me or not. I also don't need to explain who I am because I'm sure, all of them here already know who I am and what my relationship is with their leader.
The mission? Mission moreover? I asked in my heart.
Not long after, my father-in-law came out of the tent and searched for my whereabouts. As soon as he saw me, he came to me.
“You okay?” he asked and sat down next to me. We both sat on a large rock facing a vast expanse of forest like an ocean. Whether I'm where I am now, it's like being in the Amazon jungle. In fact, I am sure that we are still in Indonesia.
“I'm good, Dad. Now, I have to pay off the explanatory debt that you promised me. Where is Refald? What the hell happened to him? Sir Akbar said, we will do the mission in a moment, what mission?” I unconsciously asked a lot of questions about my in-laws. I'm sure he's also confused where to answer me first.
“You're always to the point, just like you used to be, but that's the reason why I like you and chose you as my daughter-in-law. Not Sakura, your sister.” Instead of answering my question, Refald's father opened up memories of the past. “Well, well, since you will soon be my son-in-law officially, then you have every right to know what happened to your future husband.”
I listened solemnly to every word that came out of my father-in-law's mouth. In fact, my face now faces exactly the father of Refald whom I can now read whose name is written on his uniform especially.
Dilagara, so that's my in-law's name. Ah right also, the name of Refald is Andi Refald Dilagara, meaning his father's name is Andi Dilagara Karaeng Somba. I remember now! My inner.
“Do you remember me?” asked my father-in-law because he saw me staring at his name in uniform.
“I remember now, Dad. Refald once told me his full name, Dad. I'm sorry if I haven't been nice to you all this time and I tend to disappoint you. Ii'm sorry. Sorry also for not welcoming Father's arrival well.” I sincerely apologized from the bottom of my heart while bowing my head in embarrassment looking at my father-in-law's face.
Of course my in-laws just smiled knots while gently stroking my hair. I can feel the affection of a father so great to his daughter. Luckily I had a gentle father-in-law like this father of Refald. I have two fathers who really love me. I don't know why I want to cry now, but I'm trying to hold back my tears from spilling out.
“Everything that happened, wasn't your fault, Fey. You're an amazing girl who's very strong. We asked you from your father, but we can't take good care of you. In your case, we are the guilty ones. We're the ones who should be apologizing to you. As your father-in-law, I'm not good at protecting my son-in-law. But thank God it looks like everything is fine. We'll talk about your engagement once we get out of this forest. Right now the most important thing is to save Refald.”
I was shocked to hear my father-in-law's last words. Spontaneous I immediately stood up with god-level anxiety. “What happened to Refald?” ask me with a trembling tone.
“Call Fey, Refald is fine. He was just taken hostage by the enemy, and we had to exchange him for the flash you brought. If not, they will destroy it. But you don't have to worry, all of us here can definitely catch the criminal and free Refald alive. Trust me. But .. It looks like I'm forced to involve you. Will you do one thing for me?” refald's father asked me who was still in shock at the news that Refald was currently being held hostage.
Whatever I will do to save Refald, even if I have to sacrifice my life. My mind churned staring intently at the bead of my in-laws' eyes as a sign that I was ready to do anything for Refald.
