Love Because of Mandate (Revised)
Chapter 4

Jakarta

Indrajaya, a TNI commander who became a widower when his son was just a matter of days old. His wife, doctor Sani Aulia, a specialist in cardio vascular thoracic surgery (BTKV), broke her orders to stay with him until death. He made her a single parent to her son, Mutiara Insani.

He recalled the incident four months ago, in which his son was angry with him. How not? His son brought a man before him, but he was the son of his long-gone enemy.

He's not being honest with his son. He simply refused the man to be the life companion of his only child, Mutiara Insani.

The flash back

Muti tidied up his belongings after the submission of his move which he had submitted a month after the incident of his girlfriend's refusal was approved by the relevant agency. She's fed up with her dad always barring her. Prohibited it, but never gave a strong reason why he did it.

"Where are you going?" said Indra saw her son put his things in the suitcase.

Muti was silent not answering. He kept putting the things he needed into the suitcase.

Indra saw the brown envelope. He quickly opened and read the contents of the letter. Angry mixed with annoyance. Indra took out Muti's things from the suitcase.

"Dad, what the fuck?? Is this what you want?? Muti get out of here??"

"What are you talking about, Muti? I never wanted you to leave Dad. You're angry that Dad turned down Humam, right?" said Indra with a tone of restraining emotions.

Muti only smiled wryly at his father's words. "Dad think I still have the right to be angry in this house?? The father was a selfish, palllliiiing selfish man that Muti had once known. If Muti could choose, Muti would choose to be with Mother in heaven"

Indra's blood completely boiled over hearing Muti's reply. He clenched his hand. Muti was afraid to see his father's anger. "Talk politely to your father!!! I never taught you to be like this!!"

Indra was afraid of losing control. She finally leaves Muti's room back in her room. The door of the room was slammed hard.

Indra approached the picture of his late wife. "If you're still here with your brother. Our children will grow up to be children with tenderness. You're too sadistic to leave this brother in this trust, dear" Her tears dripped down her cheeks.

"She grew up to be a strong girl but a dissident, to be a brave girl but but made my brother's heart always unsettled leaving her alone. She is dating Akbar Jayadi's son. A criminal smuggling weapons of the time. He forced the brothers to agree to their relationship. You remember the saying that the fruit falls not far from the tree. Whether you hear this is true or not, obviously, you are not sincere and do not care if our Muti is with the wrong man. Ye know? He's being targeted by the police.

You won't let it go into the wrong man's hands. My brother would leave it to a man who could love and protect him. Leave him to a family that loves him very much. Is it true that you made this decision?" Indra said with a smile looking at the picture of his wife.

Muti left the house without saying goodbye to his father. His heart was very disappointed with the actions of the father who always restrained him. And the worst is to accuse and insult Humam a target or a police fugitive. Make the relationship run aground.

Muti was the type of person who would not believe it if he had not seen it for himself. "I'm sorry Muti Yah, Muti is tired of being restrained like this continuously. The money from Mommy will be used to buy a house in Semarang, and Muti's salary money and money from Dad will be used to buy a car"

Muti left unbeknownst to his father's men who were keeping watch in his house. Leaving Jakarta for Semarang.

Flash back off

Bagas that morning left for Jakarta with Anin, his wife. To fulfill his commander's call. They have no idea what this meeting is for. They can only guess before it happens.

The two-and-a-half-hour journey was filled with anxiety and silence. Yeah they're tense. Because this is the first time Indra asked them to come not as friends. Except as a subordinate.

The service car entered the gate of the TNI commander's office. They were immediately greeted by the commander's aide and delivered into the commander's office.

Bagas saluted his superior. Indra smiled and returned the respect Bagas gave and hugged his best friend.

"The gate is too busy" said Bagas. They sat on the couch. Spicy until food and drink diantae to the commander's room.

"Let's drink first" said Indra let his guests eat and drink. Anin was impatient. He immediately asked.

"Seek permission...."

"It is formal that you are Nin. Yes, I know what you want to ask. Your son's a police officer in Semarang right?" Bagas and Anin nodded.

"I want to give you a mandate"

Bagas knitted his brows in confusion. "the mandate? What mandate does the commander mean?"

"Married your son to my daughter" Bagas and Anin were stunned to hear the mandate given by their commander-in-chief.

"But why our son? Brother can far get a good man for Muti" Anin refused because he knows how Muti's attitude. A dissident girl and a playgirl are the new attitudes of Muti.

Indra shakes. "I want us to make a reservation. This mandate I give you is not your superior. I gave this mandate from a father who wanted to leave his daughter to the right person"

"But why are we Ndan?" ask Bagas again.

"I want to leave my daughter to the right person. I want my daughter to be safe when I'm gone. I want my daughter to be protected and loved by a man and family who loves her very much. Carry out this mandate. Not as a commander, I asked for this as the father of my daughter. I'd be very grateful if you would help look after my daughter, because I can't afford to take care of her.

My people were always caught by him and told to leave. If he doesn't comply with his wishes, he'll go further than me. I don't want him getting away from me. So accept this mandate. I know your worries. I know it. Muti became so because of my fault as well. I'm sure she has the gentleness of her mother"

Bagas and Anin were both silent and gave no answer. Digesting the mandate that had just been thrown from the mouth of the commander. Bagas saw his wife. Anin's eyes were clearly unwilling to accept Muti as her daughter-in-law.

He's afraid that Muti can't change. He did love the boy, but, this is future business. His son can get a much better girl than Muti.

Unlike his wife, Bagas believed Muti could change. Though that belief is not yet one hundred percent. Bagas believes this is the fate of a soul mate for Sigit, his son.

"One mandate for us is the price of death. We agree with this mandate. Hopefully there will be a seed of love that grows between the two. A love born of mandate"
