Now Ben's assistant has understood what happened between them, a fact about his boss's past being exposed. "Don't judge too quickly, miss. Mr. Simon is not like that, I admit that he was cruel and killed others. It was due to his profession and he had also stopped being a soldier. Mr. Simon has changed a lot for the better" he said, trying to explain.
Suci was speechless trying to digest the words of Ben's assistant, he could not ignore the words of the man next to him who was focusing on driving the car. "What is Rasidha's condition?"
"He's good, the master takes care of him very well. The little girl was safe and very healthy, there was nothing to worry about."
"Did Rasidha know about this?"
"No, not even Simon's face he doesn't know."
"But, why?"
Ben's assistant immediately stopped the car by the side of the road, looking at Saints in seriousness. "Don't tell this to anyone else, does Miss want to make a promise to me?"
Such great curiosity made Suci nod his head quickly, wanting to know why it could happen.
"Both Rasidha's parents were killed by Mr. Simon while on duty, right in front of the little boy who was terrified at his cruelty. The eyes from Rasidha made the master tremble violently, let alone the tears that flowed resuscitated him. He did not kill the boy and watched from afar, the little girl returned to her house which was almost flat because of the master's actions. Look at the condition of the house and see the little girl sleeping in the middle of her father and mother who are gone, not even paying attention to anything else."
"W-what? What a pity the fate of my daughter, why is that man so cruel? Separating the child from his parents" said the weeping Saint, hearing of Rasidha's cruel life.
"Master Simon felt his heart ache, the first time he felt his heart being moved and melted with Rasidha's tears. From then on he didn't kill anyone anymore, the little girl who made a change in him. After realizing his mistake, the master decided to approach Rasidha and bring him to the foundation. There was no way he would take her to the military headquarters, and cover her face with a turban. The little girl still remembers who killed her biological parents." Obviously Ben's assistant, trying to reveal everything, means if the woman next to him understands.
"Why is he doing this, are you sure your words are the truth?" the Sacred Quest who could not believe it completely.
"The fate and environment that made such a master, I've known him for a long time. His ambition of wanting to enter the army and be appointed as a military commander, made him extremely ruthless. The results were achieved because of his mother who never considered his existence, and was considered a pesky carrier. It's life that changes a person, it's life that never feels happiness."
Sacred is still hearing, he is very enthusiastic about the words of assistant Ben who returned to run the car.
"Don't be too afraid of him, be careful but don't overdo it. Mr. Simon is actually very kind, Rasidha's coming is like a light in his life."
"You're right, what about Rasidha?"
"She doesn't know, and don't let the little girl know. That is why Mr. Simon always covers his face when dealing with Rasidha. He didn't want anyone to recognize the face of an Israeli army commander, especially his adopted son."
"Astaghfirullah, I've been su'udzon with him." The Sacred Light who realized his mistake. "What about her mother, have you ever met?"
"No, I don't know Mr. Simon's mother's face. Either he's alive or he's gone, but my boss has put him to death."
Suci sighed, still recalling his treatment earlier on the man. But how else? If the man was a much feared military commander, a bitter memory of the man. He felt guilty with his attitude which was quite rude, trying to apologize later.
