Mafioso In Action's
Fear and Guilt #36

At a supermarket and in accordance with the promise he made.Berlin was seen accompanying Nadia to shop for groceries needed. Nadia looks very clever when choosing some food items sold in the storefront.

The shopping trolley brought by Berlin has also begun to fill up with some vegetables that still look very fresh, and some kitchen spices needed.

"Okay, where are we going ?" tanya Berlin who walked followed Nadia by pushing her shopping trolley.

Nadia turned her head and then replied, "we go to the meat, yuk !" he answered with a very excited expression.

"Well," said Berlin, who then pushed his shopping trolley to follow his girlfriend walking.

Shopping is indeed one of the activities that Berlin often does, when he has the intention to make or cook himself at home. But it became very thrilling when he was shopping with a woman he loved. Especially with the situation of the supermarket he chose that was currently not too crowded.

It is also the first time Berlin has seen Nadia so observant and good at food.

"Um ..., you want me to masakin what ?" nadia asked Berlin seriously as she passed a glass display case containing various meats.

"It's up to you, and all you can do" replied Berlin with both hands holding onto her shopping trolley.

Nadia also began to choose various meats on the glass display case. He also walked over to a display case containing seafood such as fish meat and some shellfish and more.

Berlin just looked at his girlfriend and waited for her woman in the grocery trolley that he had brought.

"He already looks like an expert ..," Berlin murmured inwardly as he walked closer to Nadia.

"Do you know how to cook ?" berlin asked as Nadia stuffed some chicken and fresh fish that were still tightly wrapped in polystyrene into her trolley.

"Let's see ...!" nadia replied a little bit giving her cynical smile to Berlin.

"Okay, I'll wait !" sahut Berlin with a pretty excited expression.

...

Once it is felt enough and also the shopping time has lasted very long. Berlin along with Nadia also walked in line at the cashier table to pay for all her groceries.

"Has everything been ?" ask the female cashier very kindly.

"All that" replied Nadia.

Tut ... Tut ... Tut ...!

Sensor sound from the cash register was repeatedly sounded when the goods passed through it, and immediately calculate the total price displayed on the monitor screen.

"Please take the total" the female cashier told Berlin.

When looking at the total price, Berlin is not surprised because also their groceries are quite a lot. He immediately paid for all the groceries with the money he had prepared in his pants pocket.

"Thank you very much, please come again ...!" said the cashier by lowering his head and putting on a friendly smile after getting paid.

"Thank you again" said Berlin who then walked to help Nadia bring her groceries.

...

When Berlin arrived at his car parked in the parking lot, and with some of the groceries. Suddenly his phone rang indicating a call coming from someone.

"Um ... for a moment, I was suddenly called," Berlin told Nadia, who was busy arranging her groceries into the trunk of a car.

"OK," replied Nadia who then rearranged her groceries.

When he saw the contact who called him, Berlin also slightly away from Nadia and then answered the incoming call.

"Berlin !" james suddenly screamed in the phone.

Instantly Berlin slightly kept his phone away from his ear, as James shouted like that.

"Yes, it's me !" berlin Sahut.

.

"Until you call me like this. What's the problem ?" berlin continued, who immediately asked the main point.

"Berlin, Adam ...." Without further ado, James went straight to the topic he wanted to inform Berlin about. He also tells that not only Adam was the victim, but Sasha was also. But luckily Sasha looked fine unharmed.

Berlin was immediately shocked after hearing the news from his colleagues or insiders. Two friends and one of his best friends get unworn treatment from people who have problems with him.

***

Nadia who finished arranging all her groceries neatly in the trunk of the car. He turned around and looked towards Berlin who did not look well.

"Surely something happened," he murmured as he saw Berlin unsettled.

Nadia could have just walked over to her man. But he chose to wait in the car first, until Berlin was done with his phone connection.

***

"Now how is it ?" cetus Berlin with a peaking tone and immediately looks worried about his friend, Adam.

"He is currently critical in the hospital" James replied in a slightly trembling tone when he heard Berlin's voice.

"Thank you for telling me" said Berlin.

.

"I'll be there now !" he continued, immediately ending the voice call.

"Wait on! I haven't told --" cried James just as the voice call was terminated by Berlin.

...

"Are you okay ?" nadia asked as Berlin finished with her phone and then got inside the driver's seat.

"You I'll drive you home, okay ?" sahut Berlin with a worried face.

"No ! Anyway I'm with you !" Nadia immediately rejected the offer and held Berlin to allow herself to participate.

"I knew. You're in trouble, aren't you?" chirps Nadia with one of the palms of Berlin, and with a look to look into the eyes of the man.

After seeing the expression of worry and anxiety mixed in Berlin's face. Nadia kept herself in check to go where Berlin was going. Because he was worried about something if he did not come with his man.

"I'm afraid something will happen to you, or even you who made it happen" Nadia said, looking into Berlin's eyes, and with a very soft tone and then smile after saying it.

.

"Yes ...?" persuade Nadia to come back and smile at her man.

"Alright," replied Berlin with a little force.

Berlin also turned on the engine of his vehicle, and then stepped on the gas pedal to go straight to the hospital to see the condition of his friend.

.

.

"Please .. be careful, Berlin," muttered James, who looked at his cell phone after the call ended.

James was apparently anxious about Adam's severe and critical safety condition. Doctors, surgeons, and other treatments in the operating room looked very serious and careful when dealing with two gunshot wounds on Adam's right hand and left leg. While Adam himself only looks resigned and unconscious on the bed, with all the rays and medical equipment that is fixed on him.

"James ! Adam how ?" James suddenly heard a familiar voice calling his name from a distance behind him.

As James turned his head, he saw Kimmy and the other friends walking up to him with their questionable expressions.

"He is critical," James replied in a trembling tone of fear and bowed lethargy.

Kimmy's gaze with his friends who came was immediately turned toward the window on the operating room door.

"Why did this happen ?"

"James ! Why did Adam get there like that ?!"

"Damn, who did that to him ?!"

Sure enough James's conjecture, all the questions from his friends were raining down on him. He felt so guilty when he got all those questions.

But James was silent as all the questions rained down on him incessantly.

"James, say something !" asep snapped by pushing James' body violently until he hit the wall, and his emotions suddenly began to peak.

"I'm confused ! It all happened so fast !" james also said with a tone and emotion that began to overflow.

"Then what are you doing ?!"

"Did you leave your friend like that ?!"

"Basic, the weak apparatus !"

Checks began to occur between James and some of his own friends, but James himself mostly just chose to be quiet. He also felt guilty for what happened to Adam.

Almost all of his friends blamed James and cornered him. All his friends also look very anxious with the condition of Adam who did not give a sign of okay.

"Enough !" snapped Kimmy who interjected and divorced the strife from his friends.

The situation that had previously heated up due to the squabbles had suddenly subsided after being injured by Kimmy.

"Sa-right now ..he is giving a statement ... at the police station," replied James who looked very shaky after the brief scuffle.

"Bobby, China. You two take Sasha to the police station !" kimmy told the two friends.

"Good !" tell them both and then walk away.

"And all of you, please be self-conscious ! We're in the hospital right now !" Kimmy warned all his friends without exception.

"James, have you told Berlin about this ?" kimmy asked back to James in a very calm tone.

"U-already, just now ...," replied James who was still downcast and seemed to tremble because he still felt guilty.

.

"Say, he'll be here soon" he continued.

They all sat in the front waiting room of the operating room, and were very anxious about Adam's condition. Kimmy and James were also waiting for Berlin to come to the hospital.

For some reason, James himself suddenly harbored a fear of meeting and meeting face to face with Berlin. He continued to think about what to talk about when dealing with Berlin later.

James really looked trembling and could not calm down. This was the first time for him to feel completely unsettled, after everything that had happened and he had witnessed.

~

Time passed, and three hours were also missed by them with full concern for the safety of Adam who was still in surgery.

Not long after, Berlin was seen running with Nadia behind him, approaching Kimmy and James who were leaning next to the operating room door.

"How's Adam doing ?!" spontaneously the first question was immediately triggered by Berlin.

Kimmy responded with a long sigh and shook her bowed head as Berlin appeared. Similarly, James who was just silently downcast harbored his fear when he saw Berlin in front of him.

DEG.

"No way ...," muttered Berlin in shock as he looked inside the operating room.

While in front of the operating room door, Berlin's gaze was immediately drawn to the opaque door window and saw his friend was getting treatment in a critical condition.

After seeing Adam who is still critical with the operation unfinished. Berlin turned to all his friends who looked quite lethargic down on the waiting room bench.

An atmosphere of silence and sadness is suddenly created and can be felt. They were all very anxious about the condition of Adam who was critical.

The expression on Berlin's face that had previously looked happy while shopping together with Nadia, suddenly turned sad when she learned of this situation. Nadia herself just chose to be quiet in that situation, with a continued look at Berlin who looked very sad.

"James, can you explain quickly ?" berlin asked with a sharp glance at James, as well as with a tone and attitude that suddenly turned extremely cold.

James was instantly made completely unable to twitch as Berlin glanced at him with an already bloodthirsty expression. He tried to explain briefly and in detail to Berlin, and also at the same time apologized to him.

"I-I saw everything. But ... their numbers were quite a lot, and the police who were at the time were just me."

"At first they were seen clashing with Adam who was seen hiding something from them. I don't know what they're fighting about, but that's what I see."

"They also threatened to take Sasha and make her a prisoner or hostage, and also repeatedly threatened the surrounding residents by pointing at the firearms they brought."

"But Adam fought him, and .. made the men in black... directly shoot twice without further ado at Adam who tried to protect Sasha."

James explained all the chronology of the incident to Berlin who was standing before him, and continued to look at him with a horrifying look. Although quite trembling when explaining it, but James has explained everything.

"Honestly .. I was completely immersed in my fear at the time, Berlin. I'm really sorry !" James who was in full uniform immediately bowed his head right in front of Berlin who looked very unhappy with everything that happened.

James actually apologized to Berlin and was witnessed by the other friends sitting in the waiting chair.

"Bless your head ! You should be so ashamed of the prestige of that pride uniform you wore !" sahut immediately Berlin with a very cold expression and attitude.

James immediately raised his head back, and then started talking back to tell Berlin something.

"When ... I held back the bleeding that happened to Adam inside the ambulance, Adam told me to tell you to be more careful !" james said with a look back at Berlin's gaze staring at him.

.

"Because .. said Adam himself. Those people are looking for you, Berlin, a lot" he continued, re-establishing his body.

BUK !

"Damn ...!" berlin muttered with a clench of his hand and then hit the wall next to him so hard that it shook.

Not to be afraid because it is being sought by people who threaten him, including threatening all those closest to him. Berlin seemed very upset and angry after listening to the words from James.

James who realized it was quite afraid, as well as all his friends when he found out Berlin was really upset.

***

Seeing Berlin so emotional or angry like that was not the first thing for Nadia. But as expected, Berlin's current anger can be felt is overflowing and not as usual.

"Berlin" he muttered, clutching the heart necklace he wore around his neck as he looked at the man.

Nadia can also see the fear of all her friends, including Asep, James, and Kimmy, when she saw and realized that Berlin was really angry.

They all did not dare to speak up and dampen the overflowing anger.

***

With unbearable anger. Berlin stepped away holding something in his pants pocket that looked like a gun.

"Wait !" peek at Nadia by grabbing the hand belonging to Berlin who walked past her.

Berlin immediately stopped his steps and just kept silent with the aura of anger that was already overflowing and deeply felt around him.

"Where are you going ?!" nadia asked as she slowly approached Berlin.

"Let me ... find and meet them directly ...!" berlin replied in a flat-sounding tone and with a very cold demeanor.

"Then ... what will you do after that ...?" sahut Nadia with a direct look at the eyes of Berlin.

Berlin who got a sharp gaze filled with worry was immediately slightly bowed with to take his eyes off the gaze.

"I want to get it over with ...," replied Berlin in a tone that slightly turned very soft and sounded a little soft.

"You know, right ?! That's too dangerous for yourself, Berlin !"

"We don't know how many of them are out there, and also .. you said it yourself before we left this morning."

"His name is also a villain, they do it for sure because there is a sense of satisfaction."

"That's what you said, right ?" nadia continued after repeating the words spoken by Berlin to her, just before they left the house this morning.

All of those words were immediately spoken by Nadia and rained down on Berlin, and made Berlin could only be silent without struggling

"If something happens to you, then .. they will be very happy and satisfied. But .. Not with me ! not with your friends !" said Nadia with both eyes that slightly glazed as she said it.

"Do you want to leave me ?" he returned to Berlin.

.

"Do you want to leave all your friends ?" he asked back to Berlin.

When Nadia said it all to Berlin. He continued to hold both hands belonging to his man that felt very strong and quite rough.

Berlin who felt cornered immediately rebelled by removing the two hands violently and said, "enough ! Leave me alone !" he said that he then walked away leaving Nadia with all her friends.

Nadia had seen both hands that were deliberately released by Berlin himself very roughly. But it did not break his desire to prevent his lover from the things he had thought about.

"Nadia, please yeah ...?" please Kimmy and all her friends with very worried expressions to Berlin.

"Sure ...!" nadia smiled at her friends, and started running after Berlin who was walking out of the hospital lobby.

...

While running out of the hospital lobby, Nadia was unable to find Berlin out there. He immediately ran to a Berlin car parked in the main parking lot. The distance between the entrance of the lobby and the main parking lot is quite far because the place is quite large. But all he found was a white two-door saloon car owned by Berlin, and without any sign of the whereabouts of his man.

"Oh my goodness, where are you going, Berlin ...?" he murmured with a breath of gasping for running.

I did not know where Berlin was at the time. Nadia immediately returned to look for Berlin around the crowded hospital area. But still he could not find it.

Sweat began to pour out in the hot sun during the very bright day. But Nadia kept looking for where Berlin was going. He took his cell phone and tried to contact the man.

"Please, pick up ...!" nadia muttered as she started calling Berlin.

Tut ... Tut ... Tut ...!

But there was no response at all from the voice calls he had tried, even many times.

"Berlin, please ... don't be rash ...!" he muttered with hope as he gazed towards the bright blue cloudy sky.

As she looked at the clear sky, Nadia suddenly thought of one thing about a place. He immediately headed to the place, which was also in the Central Hospital.

Seriate.
