Love of the Adjutant
Trying to Reject the Heart

Arriving at Grandma's. There was already a man waiting on the porch. Men with a sturdy posture, tall, handsome nan cool. He was chatting with Grandma. They look very familiar.

"Assalamu'allaikum." greet Kinan as he got out of the car.

"Wa'allaikumsalam." replied Grandma. Kinan kissed Grandma's hand. Ignoring Niko's hand.

"Well, I'm not in Salamin??" grouse Niko.

"Well?? It's not important to know." replied Kinan smiling.

"Is that the way, son??"

"Udah Grandma." Kinan hugged Grandma's body.

"Here's the one in the hug." Niko protested.

"Do you want to be in the hug too??" ask Kinan.

Niko nodded her head as she spread out her hands, hoping Kinan would run into her arms.

"There's a pole, a hug with a pole." joked Kinan.

Hearing that Niko's hand went limp. He stared at Kinan sharply.

"Why?? Wanna mad??? Wweekkk??" ledek Kinan while sticking out his tongue.

"Granny see for herself. He's still as reckless as ever, isn't he??" Niko complained to Grandma.

"Belgroff." Kinan scoffed.

"Ehmm, you really want to pinch this kid."

Niko also did the action to pinch Kinan, yes even though it was just a joke. But they look very harmonious. Like not just friends, but lovers.

From the garage, both eyes were looking at Niko and Kinan who were joking. Some are cracked, but not glass. Many times Indra let out a long sigh to dispel the unpleasant taste inside her chest.

Why doesn't it taste so good? I was just getting carried away. Why carry it up until now? Remember Ndra, remember. You are not his level, don't expect more.

Grutu Indra from the heart while cleaning the car. He tried not to see them, but somehow his eyes always wanted to know what they were doing. That is what is called an incompatible heart and mind.

Finish washing the car.

"sorry. Permission please. I'm done washing the car, I'll leave." Indra ventured into their conversation.

"Ohh yes Mas, thank you" said Kinan politely.

"Who are you??" ask the curious Niko. "I've never met."

"Please allow yourself to introduce yourself. My name is Indra, I......."

"He's my personal chauffeur." Kinan cut off Indra's talk.

"Private driver?? Since when?? Where's Rachmat sir??" asked Niko as if she did not like the presence of Indra.

"Sir Rachmat is sick. So for a while this Mas Indra will be my driver."

"Who asked??"

"My own father." replied Kinan.

"Why did your father choose him as a driver??"

"What's um??" ask Kinan astonished.

"It's okay, just ask" replied Niko cynically. "You're smudging too?"

"Ready, permission. I'm....."

"Yes she's also smeared." Kinan again cut the word Indra.

"From which unit??" Niko was curious.

When Indra was about to open her mouth, Kinan had already answered Niko's question first.

"Batalyon*****." replied Kinan ketus. "Why so much??"

"Department??"

"Ready, permission Tamudi (Tamtama Driver)."

"Ooh, driver." Niko mocked Indra. "Ohh, yes I just remembered. You used to send your Battalion Commander to my brother's wedding, right??" Niko just remembered.

"Ready."

"Why do you seem to keep doing Kinan??" Niko cynical.

Indra who received that cynical look only fell silent. It is different with Kinan. Kinan felt uncomfortable with Niko who seemed to underestimate Indra.

"Ngapain the hell up to it like that talking?? Ordinary aja. He's not gonna want me anyway, but he's gonna have to drive me wherever I go." Kinan's upset.

Niko was silent to Kinan's annoyance.

"Mas wants to go home, right?? It's okay to go home. Thank you, my dear."

"good. My permission to go home first." said Indra, but not in Niko's governor.

Shortly after Indra left.

"That you, don't keep your rank higher so you underestimate others."

"Loh... Who is neremehin?? I'm just nanya."

"Your question and your attitude are too obvious if you understand him."

"Wait first. Who's this talking to??" Niko's confused. "Are you angry with me because of the driver??"

Kinan did not answer. He folded his hands on his chest, a sign that he really did not like Niko's attitude.

"I'm just a nanya, don't want to ngeremehin."

"I've known you for a long time, so just look at it I already know if you understand him who is only a Tamudi." Kinan explained.

"Sokay know you." Niko cold.

"Not knowing. But it really does know." said Kinan. "I want to go in first, tired. Take a break."

"You want to leave me here?? I've been waiting for you."

"Who told you to wait for me?? I didn't tell. If you want to talk, talk to Grandma. I'm tired."

"Are you angry with me because of the driver??"

"Did you bring him?? I just don't like your attitude. How come you don't know yet??" Kinan was getting upset.

"You are an officer does not mean you are better than he who is an enlisted man. Maybe it's because the power of connection can also make you an officer."

"Kinan?!!" Niko started to get emotional.

"Never underestimate anyone. Because you're not necessarily better than the one below you. God never looks upon a man by rank or rank, but by faith." - Kinan's counsel.

Kinan rushed out of the terrace and into the house.

"Kinan." call Niko about to chase, but Grandma gets in the way.

"Have Son. Maybe Kinan was tired again so he got angry like that. For a few days he had problems at work. So Nak Niko please understand??" Grandma tried to calm Niko down.

"Yes Nek." answered Niko. He was about to return, but occasionally he stared at the house. It was as if it was heavy leaving Kinan who was angry.

Somewhere else. Mess aide. Indra is in mess.

"Why are you, Ndra??" greet Erwan who is playing with the Commander's son.

But Indra did not answer. He went straight into the room and laid down his body. His right arm closed both eyes.

You can't keep this up Ndra. You have to know who you are. There should not be the slightest feeling to Kinan. Maybe tomorrow this feeling is no more. Maybe I was just laughing. Maybe it was because I hadn't spent a long time and had fun, so my mood had changed as well.

Indra tried to improve her mood that had been upset. But when trying to calm down, a phone arrived to surprise him.
