"A violent scandal against the press?!" Chandra frowned as she received a call from the TNI's disciplinary commissioner center. Chandra did not understand what the disciplinary commissioner meant that afternoon, but after he asked further the central side explained the root of the problem.
"Sir, you are involved in a case of violence that has now appeared in the media. A journalist claims to have received violent treatment from You, the journalist also provided evidence to the media in the form of camera damage and injury suffered by Your actions."
"But, I don't do those things at all" Chandra argued sternly. The man gripped the phone and was quite strong from shock and anger.
"Your recognition will be accommodated, temporarily clearing the name of the TNI agency that is our priority. The stereotype of the community against TNI members is bad enough, the scandal that befalls you today adds to the negative opinion of the community against the agency."
Chandra sighed softly, how is it possible at a time like this that a big problem befalls him through this work that he loves so much.
"Then? What am I supposed to do? I'll apologize to the concerned if it can fix things."
"The center waits for your presence no later than this afternoon. You are also entitled to receive a suspension for several months outside of your area of duty."
Chandra rubbed his face, he bowed deeply in his seat facing a phone.
"I was willing to do those tasks, but I asked for strict guard for the safety of my wife and family from the media. I don't want a single journalist to disturb my wife's psychics" Chandra replied firmly. He already knew the impact would certainly be more difficult for Nadia and the family in Bandung. The mass media must be more interested in Nadia to be questioned, while considering Nadia's mental state is still not stable makes Chandra could not bear if he had to leave everything to Nadia. Chandra has promised that he will take care of Nadia and protect her from any bad things.

In the afternoon of an unusual day, Nadia covered the day with a small cry on her beautiful face. Chandra has packed his wife's things that seem to be needed in Bandung later. Nadia also did not understand, why she had to go back to Bandung without her husband. Just this time, Nadia felt she did not want to return home even though there where she grew up from childhood to adulthood.
Ardi had already come to pick up since thirty minutes ago, while Nadia was still slowing down her movements to leave Flores. Chandra. When Nadia was still daydreaming in the room.
"Come, Ardi's waiting."
Nadia looked up, tears coming down her cheeks. Chandra immediately wiped it with both of her thumbs.
"Why can't you take me?"
Chandra cleared her throat, and she refrained from crying. "Em, there's work I have to do here."
"Just a minute. Can't do?" press Nadia again with a pushy tone.
The man nodded small. "I'm sorry, I can't. But I promise, I'll see you again. Later, if the conditions are conducive."
"What's really going on? I don't understand. I don't want to go home, if you don't take me to the airport!"
"Nad ...."
"Chandra ...," whined Nadia with a sad and confused face. Chandra instead chuckled, hiding his anxiety turned out to be very difficult, especially in front of Nadia who seemed to have smelled something wrong since her sudden return.
"My mother is ill, and I also have direct orders from the center for a very urgent matter."
"What order?"
"Making sure of your safety as one of the assets of the country that I have to protect," Chandra replied in a joking tone, Nadia smiled slightly.
"Not funny!"
"Chan, you're not going anywhere, are you? You stay here until I
back again?"
"Yes, I'm still here."
"Why I don't feel good" muttered Nadia uninspired.
Chandra stroked Nadia's cheek for the second time that day. "It's just a feeling ...."
Nadia hugged her husband, put her head on Chandra's sturdy shoulders and began to feel an incredible comfort that she did not want to stop.
"I haven't cooked for you yet." Nadia was still reluctant to get in the car.
"Yes, it's okay" Chandra replied. He dropped the elusan beside Nadia's face.
"The same nugget of sausage is still in the freezer, continues ...." Nadia could not continue her sentence. Chandra cut it gently.
"Darling ... Ardi is waiting. I can call you later on the phone if I have anything to ask you, okay?"
"I must be really upset with you." Nadia again dropped a hug onto the tall body of her husband. Chandra chuckled, unconsciously Chandra also shed tears.
"I also. Surely your eyelashes are falling out because of my kangen taste," said Chandra gaunty.

It does not take long to arrive in Bandung. Only two hours of air travel Nadia has now reached the airport. Nadia was very impressed by the presence of ten TNI members who dressed neatly picked her up there, journalists could not even get close due to tight guard, but Nadia could still receive a flash of camera that hit her face.
Nadia smiled slightly at the camera and slightly waved her hand in a friendly manner, not knowing that the entire entertainment universe was now mocking her husband who was accused of violence against the press.
"Mom, we'll take you straight to the hospital."
"Yes, thank you." Nadia answered one of the questions TNI members welcomed her. Nadia also has not contacted Liza over her sudden return, but she is sure that Liza will definitely not respond badly to her again because Liza already knows how gentle Chandra's unexpected demeanor is.
The army's green-plated alphard service car took Nadia to a special hospital room for the TNI family, where she was greeted like an important person. Again Nadia was flattered, if only Chandra was beside her, Nadia would feel very moved because she could be side by side with her husband in front of a crowd like this. Nadia sometimes wants to show off her affection for Chandra to everyone, but she still has to limit herself because Chandra is not an ordinary TNI, but a very young and handsome three-star general.
Mother greeted Nadia with a forced smile, the middle-aged woman did not seem so happy with the presence of her son-in-law here right now. Nadia approached her mother-in-law, then embraced mother-in-law to embrace each other.
Father and Joy who were there did not comment much on Nadia's presence there.
"Mom, why is it that it hurts?" nadia asked in a hoarse voice. Nadia's puffy face makes the mother feel guilty also in the end, maybe at first the mother was annoyed by the news on TV, but when she saw Nadia who looked fragile it was not the mother who could not bear it. "Asma, relapse," replied the mother slowly. "Now is it better?"
Mother nodded small.
Nadia directed her gaze towards the father and Joy who were in the room. Nadia smiled brightly at her in-laws and greeted father with a small nod.
"Nadia came back here first, Chandra asked. Chandra can't go home because her retirement is over. Mommy is not papa if for a while Nadia is just being cared for?"
"Yes, you don't have to bother coming back here. Poor thing, Chandra's alone in there."
Nadia fell silent, in fact she did not want to leave her husband's duty alone, but Chandra insisted on making Nadia leave.
"Chandra. Nadia can not refuse," replied Nadia with a small ruckus.
Then the ward came back quiet.
Joy and Dad looked at each other, like they were trying to talk through their eyes. Joy and Dad thought Nadia had not seen the news at all since morning.
"Nad ...."
"Yes, Mom?"
Mom smiled little. "You are ...." Mother paused her sentence, while Nadia was still waiting patiently for her in-laws to say.
"Why?"
"You go home first. You must be tired because of the long journey, let Joy accompany you home. Mom's the same dad."
Because the mother asked Nadia to go home first, Nadia obeyed this. Nadia also does not want to argue or impose her will at this time, after all it is good if Nadia comes home and tidied up her rather messy self. Nadia also sent a short message to Chandra that maybe the man had not received because of a bad signal in Flores.
