Marrying the Depression Master
CH-47 Don't call me ‘Jendral’

Ara looked at Jack.

“Jack!” call Ara.

“Are you better?” ask Ara.

Jack did not answer, why did the woman ask that? Wasn't he the one who drowned, why did he even think about it?

“Looks like you're better,” said Ara.

Jack still didn't talk, didn't look. He drank the warm water in his hand that the nurse gave him.

Mr. Beni turned to Jack who did not look at Ara at all, then turned to his Master's wife.

“Mistress, are we going to go home right away?” ask Mr. Beni to Ara.

“Yes Mr. Beni, it seems my efforts to make Jack recover in vain, I even experienced events like this, very scary,” said Ara, imagining that she almost drowned.

“Jack, you have to teach me how to swim,” said Ara.

“Why ask to be taught to me? Just bother,” Inner Jack.

Mr. Beni glanced at his Master who was just enjoying the drink.

Ara turned to Jack again and looked at him with a sparkling look.

“I'm glad Jack saved me, I know even though he still hurts but in his heart he really loves me, really right Jack?” said Ara, smiling.

Hearing Ara say that she loved him, Jack suddenly coughed. Is that true? Does he really love that woman? All because his eyes remind him of Arum, Jack's inner self.

“Jack You why?” ask Ara.

“Master!” ask Mr. Beni.

Jack was silent, he stopped coughing.

“Be careful Jack, drink a little, the water is still hot. You are always in a hurry to eat and drink,” said Ara.

Nothing comes out of Jack's mouth. He continues to complain to the heart. Why is that woman so chatty? I can't believe he married a chatty woman. The woman knew she was eating and drinking in a hurry from where? Were it not for his words, he would not have choked either.

Does he really love that woman? He saved her because he saw Arum drowning earlier.

“Alright Madam, we go home now. Madam must rest, Mister too,” said Mr. Beni, then get up from his seat.

Mr. Beni spoke with the nurse and the coast guard. After thanking her, Mr. Beni took Ara and Jack out of the tent.

Ara stretched out her hand to hold Jack's hand, but Jack instead quickly walked first, making Ara feel surprised, usually Jack never protest if he hugged his hand? Why is Jack so weird? Is Jack angry that he took her to this beach and made an accident that almost took his life?

Ara did not think much anymore, she also followed Jack's steps. But once in the car, Jack even beridi outside not directly in.

 “Jack, why aren't you logged in?” ask Ara.

Jack did not answer. Mr. Beni knew what Jack meant, and he answered, opening the door for Ara.

“Come Madam! Sir seems to want to go to the toilet, I will take you first,” said Mr. Beni.

Arapun just nodded and immediately entered, Mr. Beni immediately closed the door. In Ara's car was astonished, did Jack tell Beni to go to the toilet? Beni sir knows where Jack wants to go to the toilet? But Beni sir already knew Jack would have known if Jack wanted to go to the toilet.

“Master, come!” take Mr. Beni to Jack.

They left the car in the other direction. After making a turn and making sure Ara did not see them, Jack stopped his steps.

“Ada who you want to talk about?” ask Mr. Beni, looking at Jack.

“Iya, before we go home,” replied Jack.

“What Sir?” ask Mr. Beni.

“At everyone's house no one calls me General and don't respect me! All military protocols should not be used! All my photos also drop!” jack said, making Mr. Beni surprised.

“But why? Usually so too, they would not dare to be presumptuous!” ask Mr. Beni, astonished.

“Just do it! It's order!” said Jack.

“But why Mr?” ask Mr. Beni, still do not understand.

“I don't want that woman to know my identity, I don't want her to know that I'm better now,” replied Jack.

“But why? She's Mr.'s wife, she should know that Mr. has recovered,” said Mr. Beni.

Beni is still staring at Jack. What his master said was true. After a long time of recovery, a bad incident made his master feel traumatized again.

“Some tried to sabotage my men's ship in the waters, and deliberately sank it. Some of my men were killed, and I couldn't do anything about it. I feel guilty about all that, it's like I'm sending death to someone else. If I continue to experience something like this, it seems like I will go completely crazy!” said Jack.

“Master don't talk like that!” said Mr. Beni, shaking his head.

“I shouldn't have jumped into the military,” Jack said again.

“That's already the ideals of the Master of Small also the wishes of the father of the Master, do not regret all that!” said Mr. Beni.

“I'm a stupid General can't protect my own men. How many more lives will die in my hands?” lamented Jack again.

“Master don't be like that! Don't always hurt yourself! It was all an accident!” said Mr. Beni, continue to entertain Jack.

Jack sighed for a while and looked at Beni.

“Someone wants to make me completely crazy! I need to know who that guy is! Why isn't that guy after my life? Want me to go crazy? That guy knows my weakness if I am traumatized by what happened,” Jack said, his hand holding his forehead.

Mr. Beni nodded in agreement.

“I can't live a normal life before I find that person,” Jack said.

“But what does this have to do with Madam? Why can't the Madam know who the real Master is?” ask Mr. Beni.

“I have to be vigilant, it could be that he is a spy who will harm me!” answer Jack.

“No Sir, Mistress cannot be like that, she loves Master very much, she is very good, she accepts Master as he is, she is willing to give Mr.Inez a power of attorney for the sake of always being with Master, she is willing to give Mr. Inez,” said Mr. Beni.

“That's not all a guarantee that he's not a spy or an accomplice to the man who wants to destroy me, Mr. Beni,”.

“Master, how can you be so prejudiced? Master chose her and married her,” said Mr. Beni.

“His eyes remind me of Arum. I feel like Arum is alive every time I see his eyes, it's treating my guilt. But now I know he's not Arum,” Jack said, his memory returning to little Arum.

“He's also very chatty! Oh my goodness I married a chatty woman! If Arum is big, he will not be that fussy,” continued Jack, continue to complain, making Mr. Beni scratch his head that does not itch.

“But Madam is very kind Sir, she loves Mr. very much,” said Mr. Beni.

“To be sure I must be careful to anyone who is near me. So please keep my identity a secret, don't tell me I'm cured. I need proof that he's not part of the man who wants to destroy me,” Jack said.

Mr. Benipun was silent, actually he felt disappointed that his master thought so. His master had no idea how his wife's struggle defended him. But it all comes back to the master. The master decides.

“I'm not done with my family business either. I don't want my family to know that I've been cured for a long time,” Jack said.  His face changed with a sad look.

“What a pity my fate, no one has loved me since that incident,” complained Jack.

“Not so Sir, Madam very fond of Sir,” said Mr. Beni.

“If my mother loves me, I should have visited me when I was in RSJ, even I recovered. He doesn't know what his son is becoming now,” replied Jack.

“I mean Mrs Ara, Mrs wife,” said Mr. Beni, straightening.

He replied, Mr. Beni was so, Jack was silent. In his heart he also wondered if he really loved Ara? The woman had eyes like Arum, otherwise she could not have married him.

“Alright Sir, I'll arrange everything. I will call the house person, pity Madam waiting in the car,” said Mr. Beni, finally.

Jack did not answer, he stepped back to where the car was parked, Mr. Beni immediately followed him.

Even in the car Jack did not talk much, he was just silent as usual, so Arapun did not mind it because lately Jack rarely spoke.

As the car entered the gate, Jack looked at the window. No one greeted him with respect. Just the gate guards alone, so there was nothing excessive and flashy. Ara noticed the change but she didn't think too much about it.

But when he arrived in front of the house, Ara was astonished because only two people were standing guard at the door. But isn't that better?

One of the guards came up to the car and opened the door for Jack, he was getting ready to salute but was stopped, so just nodded. Jack just took a quick glance and then without saying anything went inside.

Ara came down and looked at the security guard. Looking at the security guard from top to bottom, the uniform he used was different from the one yesterday and this morning.

His eyes met the look of the security guard. He wondered why the security guard had no respect for him anymore? But Ara again did not want to think much, she immediately ran following Jack into the house.

As Ara opened the door of her room, she saw Jack standing in front of the mirror and was about to unbutton her shirt.

“Jack! Do you want to take a shower? Tumben once you undress yourself,” asked Ara to make Jack surprised and realized, isn't he pretending he's still depressed? He also stopped his intention to undress, his hands became rubbing his shirt only.
