Lately Naskala very rarely reprimands himself. After Cempaka's confession that really surprised Naskala, Naskala also tried to stay away from Cempaka.
He became a very foreign figure to Cempaka. This second time confession was really very bad. Cempaka was completely silenced and Naskala was also not as he had once known.
The man was cold but still cared deeply about him. But it's not the same now.
Naskala always goes very early in the morning and comes home late at night. Sometimes he also will not go home to make Cempaka unable to meet with Naskala.
Even if Naskala came home and he had a chance to meet the man, Naskala still considered him a statue and always ignored him.
Though it is very clear the risk and the way again Cempaka still expressed these feelings. Because it can't stand it.
"Mother! Naskala hasn't come home yet?"
Adhila frowned. Already from yesterday he was very surprised why Naskala and Cempaka did not say hello. He thought maybe something had happened to their relationship.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why is Mother squeezing you guys away?"
"Ask your child. He's always been rich avoiding Cempaka."
Adhila also scrunched her forehead. They try to get into their relationship.
"Maybe you've done something to Sister Naskala? Mommy knows very well if Kaka is easy to taste and he'll sulk."
Cempaka bit his lips. He hoped this lifeless relationship wasn't forever like that. He was confused to think of a way to apologize. Moreover, Naskala would definitely not be easy to forgive him.
It's possible that his confession yesterday offended Naskala. Oh Allah does not mean Cempaka like that.
"What if for example Om is angry with me? But... I can't if I'm not the same. But I also can't allow Om to like me," complained Cempaka in his heart.
Adhila smiled widely and rubbed Cempaka's head.
"Already neng, don't think. Maybe Kaka Naskala does not have time to take care of you and also meet you. He has been very busy lately. Plus there was a murder that happened at his base. Yesterday your Kaka was suspected to be the killer," explained Adhila who surprised Cempaka.
"Huh seriously? Oh my! Auntie! It's not guilty, right? It's not possible that Om Kala is the one who is cheating. Om is good and also pious."
"Mother also hopes that way. You're innocent and nothing happened to him. Let's just pray he's okay. Mother is very worried and can not sleep."
"Cempaka flavor will also be rich that way."
Adhilla took a deep breath and looked at Cempaka with a deep enough gaze.
"This is the reason you didn't tell you yesterday. You are still a child let alone mother know that you love very much the same om and fear om why-why. And it's true that you're going to worry like this. Moreover, there is also a problem in Papua. I have to go home today."
Cempaka thought for a moment. Why so many heavy maslah that Cempaka felt he could not handle it and very outside his small brain. It seems true what Naskala and Aunt Adhila said that he was a child.
Indeed, maturity is not measured by age but the way of thinking and Cempaka think he is not yet an adult.
"Mother Cempaka is afraid."
Cempaka. He went into the room with a lot of burden of mind as if he was a detective who was completing many tasks.
"When can you go home?"

Naskala just finished the examination. He was one of the soldiers allegedly involved in the murder of one of Adi's lieutenants.
Although there is no evidence that leads to him but because he was one of the people who worked with Lieutenant Adi so he was still examined.
"Calm down. You can't be guilty."
"It's okay. The truth will be revealed. I'm still calm."
"It's crazy that you're involved. You are the only one who tried to save lieutenant Adi and could be slandered you are involved" said Letda Nasuha who is one of Naskala's friends.
Naskala was a first lieutenant in the army. That rank he achieved with great difficulty and not the result of holding his father's big name.
He is truly one of the most accomplished soldiers. Many members of the army also do not believe and assume that the person who accused Naskala was one of the criminals.
"Brigadir Mahmud really has no heart to accuse people carelessly" Nasuha said.
This infuriated Naskala. He rebuked his friend who had spoken carelessly. Of course, this can lead to more serious problems.
"You're saying it's rich. Not okay. If you're from the rich talk then you're following it checked."
Nasuha took a deep breath and patted Naskala on the back several times. Naskala remembered the little boy in her house. A very adorable woman who annoys him every day. Or else he would scream in Naskala's ear to make Naskala almost lose her hearing.
Cempaka, the woman he's been living with for a long time. The person he loves very much.
When hearing Cempaka's confession yesterday made Naskala very shocked and did not expect if Cempaka had feelings that he was very afraid. He realized that Cempaka could fall in love with him when Cempaka was 16 years old. And from that age Naskala had tried to avoid Cempaka.
All that he did for the good of Cempaka. As much as possible Cempaka should not love himself. Starting from a very adrift age and also Naskala wants Cempaka to have a companion who is not a state servant. He did not want Cempaka to feel pain twice after his father who was a state servant died in a very memorable way. He was trying to make Cempaka happy.
Cempaka already he considered as a sister and a brother should not like his sister. Naskala tried to avoid that feeling and he was a weak man with a woman. Moreover, Cempaka is very beautiful and also able to make her smile, and Naskala is afraid to fall in love with Cempaka.
He will never be with Cempaka who is just a little sister to Naskala.
"Ah yes bro what is the name of your beautiful and adorable sister? That's Lieutenant Malik's son?"
"Treasure? Yes he is one of the children of Papa's aide who is really very loyal. That's why we raised him as a family to repay all his father's services." Naskala's attitude is only as a form of ransom that turns into affection as a brother to his sister.
