The Love of the Captain

The Love of the Captain
The Leader


The reception is quite thrilling and emotionally draining, not only the fatigue due to the lost journey, has been treated to events that almost took his life, it seems the beauty of his task this time will not be easy.


The two of them at the official house that is provided for the acting police chief, the house with the size of the equivalent of type 45 is indeed not too broad, has two bedrooms and the building is simple, and the building is simple, maybe for the size of the house of the police chief in the city is the saddest, but Arjuna did not mind about it, for him there is a place for him just to shelter and rest.


The house is about 30 minutes to the office, and 2 hours drive to the city center, there are no neighbors near the house, the other house is about 10 km from the official house that will be in his place, ah,,, complete already, it seems like it is indeed a place of disposal, indeed, and unfortunately now Arjuna who is getting a turn in the dump.


"Tores, is the atmosphere of the night here really this quiet?" asked Arjuna, he was so shocked by the night atmosphere at his new workplace, all the way from the airport to the official house like no one was out of the house, there was no sign of life there.


"No one dared to go out the house Ndan nights, because here many bandits who would not hesitate to attack and even kill people who roam the night." Bright Tores.


"Aren't any of our members on patrol? Isn't it our job to keep the people safe?" wonder Arjuna.


"Emh, that's a lot of brave members, our commander also finally removed the night patrol for the safety of the members, many members have died at the hands of the bandits" Tores said.


"Why instead give way and allow them to be more rampant, as if they were the owners of a territory that no one should bother, he said, then why is there an officer here if it cannot provide security for the surrounding residents, is not the duty of the police to eradicate crime, instead of allowing and as if turning a blind eye to the crime that occurred" grumbled Arjuna, while Tores just silently listened to all the chatter and disapproval that Arjuna showed at this time.


Maybe so emotional Arjuna to forget, if there is no benefit at all he nagged on Tores, because he is only a member of the lowest rank whose job is now only as an aide himself.


"Ah sorry, maybe I was just tired of the trip and the events in the forest had made me surprised, I was not angry with you, just annoyed with what happened here, just annoyed with what happened here, all right, we'd better take a break, tomorrow we'll still have the morning apple." Fortunately Arjuna hastily realized his mistake, if it is not appropriate he rambled on his new aide.


The official house looks long unoccupied even though it looks like it was just cleaned before he came, the smell of an empty house is clearly smelled, and it turns out that the police chiefs were previously no one who lived in the official house, they chose to rent a house in the city and come to the office occasionally if needed, they chose to, it is appropriate that the crime there is rampant, the leader of the police station who should set a good example for its members is not reliable, thought Arjuna.


**


The first day Arjuna worked as a leader in the small office after the handover, he immediately formed several groups to conduct night patrols with him as the leader of patrols every night, he knew that his members would not refuse if he took to the field, so Arjuna, he was not a leader who only ruled without himself moving.


"Sorry Ndan, instead of refusing the job, but we still love our lives, we don't want to die silly at the hands of those hideous bandits." Said one of the senior members who can be said to be much older than Arjuna, maybe only a few more years will be after duty.


"You speak like you are not an officer, because you are old so you begin to forget our vows as members who uphold truth, justice, humanity in upholding the law, he said, there's no place for criminals anywhere but a holding cell." Arjuna.


Disappointed? Of course, that's what Arjuna is feeling right now, because he feels his members have no fighting spirit, or because they are used to the leadership that allows the crime to happen.


"And, we have a wife who still needs her father, needs her husband, maybe you won't understand our feelings because you haven't-"


"Because I'm not married? Is that weak for your family? It should be from the beginning that your wife knows the risk of being a member's wife, if all you fear is death, no need to patrol against bandits, no need to, if death is written for us and our contract with God is finished in this world, you are sitting with your family alone it will come, no need to fear, since our lifeline and fate were clearly written before we were born into this world, death must have come to every living being."


The member who had protested the policy of the task that Arjuna gave to his members was silent, either because he understood what Arjuna said, he said, or even his heart is increasingly arrogant but can not do anything because what he faces is his own boss.


"For us as members sworn to serve our country and society, the world is like a battlefield, where as long as life is with the body, so our lives are only about fighting crime for the sake of law enforcement and justice, all we need is ability, strength, and courage. Remember, what is your goal to become a member!" continued Arjuna ended his conversation with his members who can now only be silent.


Arjuna stepped out of the hall towards his study, his steps firmly with an aura of leadership emanating from him making everyone who was there not dare even just to look at him.


"Sorry Ndan's permission, are you sure of your decision to patrol?" Ask Tores.


To be honest, Tores was very impressed with his boss when he heard Arjuna give words that not only gave the members there spirit, but also, but at least they have managed to regrow confidence in themselves and remind them what their real duties are as members, not just playing cards or chatting casually in the office without doing any work.


Tores does not want to lose a leader like Arjuna who managed to impress him and immediately make him a role model, he does not want Arjuna's burning spirit will actually bring disaster even wretched for his superiors.
