The Lieutenant General's
Episode 4

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it .." said the man, feeling guilty as he blew Reinsa's wrists lightly.

Deg.

Seeing this treatment of the man before her, made Reinsa's eyes unable to shift from the sight before her. Reinsa remembered how they had met.

...

"Famey!" Call a girl to a scabby man who is busy with a book in his hand on a rock by the river.

"Eh, Sa? Be careful!" said the man who turned his eyes to the girl.

"Why are you here?" the man asked, closing his book and leading the girl to sit on the rock next to him.

"Sa's bored. Why is Ri here? From earlier Sa nyariin loh, but did not meet, uh it turns out here."

"Kok bored? Did you not memorize it tomorrow? Is it a test tomorrow?" Without answering the man's question, the girl instead stood up from her position and walked towards the river where the current flow was so swift.

"Ih Ri, look at the water!" the girl shouted so enthusiastically.

"Eh Sa, don't go there! The danger!" said the man, ignored by the girl. He sat on the bank of the river, making his feet hit by the swift currents of the river. It looked so happy that the girl could feel the swift flow of this river.

After being satisfied with it all, the girl finally decided to stand up. However, when next to his feet he will raise, he even slipped which made him lose his balance.

"Famey!" he shouted, making the man instantly shift his attention to the girl. How surprised he was to see the little girl who was trying not to get carried away by the river current. Without a second thought, the man just walked up to the girl and helped her to survive the current.

"Sa, hold Ri's hand!" said the man tried to stretch out one hand and the other side he used as a focus.

"Ri, Sa's scared!" said the girl trying to reach the man's hand with tears that had flowed since.

"Come Sa, Sa don't be afraid! Ri will help Sa!" the man continued to try to convince, until in the end the flow got stronger and the girl's grip even separated from a stone that he had made defense since.

Hap!

However, fortunately the man was able to grab it and without a second thought, the man just pulled the girl's hand to get back to the riverbank.

"Aakhs!" he shouted before he finally managed to pull the body of the girl who had been drenched into the river bank.

"Sa, you're not papa, are you?" tanyanya looks so worried. As for the girl, she looked so shocked at what had just happened to her.

"Hey, don't cry! No papa, Sa is safe now. We better go home now, yes, it's not good if Sa is here," he persuaded the girl to finally nod her head weakly.

"Yaudah, let Ri take it between you. But, Sa wears Ri's shirt, Sa's shirt is so wet." Doubtfully, the girl received the shirt that the man had proffered to her. Fortunately, the man was wearing a shirt inside.

...

"Hey!" call the man while waving his hand in front of Reinsa's face. Receiving that treatment, Reinsa gasped. Immediately he turned his attention away from the man before him and released his hand from the man's grasp.

For a moment, Reinsa stared at those eyeballs intently. "The gaze is still the same as it used to be" the two said in their hearts simultaneously.

"Ah yes, I'm fine," his alibi immediately lowered his head in.

"Oh yeah, what did you want to buy? Gift right? I seem to know what a good gift is" Reinsa said trying to distract the man in front of him. Then, he went ahead of the man.

"You're still the same as you used to be, Neng. In fact, just like before, you've always been the most knowledgeable about what's best for me and my choices."

"Come on!" call Reinsa, wake the man up and go straight for his step.

"Who's the lizard for?" reinsa asked when they were at the gift shop.

"My sister," the man replied, not taking his eyes off Reinsa who was busy looking through the goods in this shop.

"What does that mean, sister?" reinsa asked without turning her gaze.

"Last," the man replied briefly, continuing to watch Reinsa's movements.

"Ooh .. kaya this is good," said Reinsa immediately enthusiastically take a dress that is perfect for teenagers.

For a moment, the man's gaze was fixated with Reinsa's gaze both staring at him. For a moment they fell silent, trying to see the truth of what they are currently both silent about for the past five years.

In the waking moment, Reinsa finally turned her gaze away with an awkward feeling. "Em .. maybe this will be suitable as a gift for your sister," repeated Reinsa who this time did not dare to raise her gaze to the lekaki before her.

"Why do you know if my sister is a girl? I didn't say it."

"Eh, that's .... I-I thought your sister was a girl, so yeah I just thought this pick. Because if your brother's a guy there's no way you're gonna tell me to pick him." Finally, Reinsa found the right reason for this question of the man before her. Not for what reason, Reinsa was not ready, if she had to start a long relationship with this man.

"You keep finding excuses for that, why?" ask in the heart. "Oh, yes, I have. Here, I'll just pick this." Without Reinsa's consent, the man immediately took Reinsa's choice and took her to the cashier, then paid for it.

"Have you?" reinsa asked, as the man returned to meet himself outside the shop. And the man just nodded his head in response.

"Yes, if that's what I'm doing? I still have business." Reinsa said trying to free himself from the man.

"Who said your job is done. Make me eat first, after that it's up to you if you're going anywhere." The man's words left Reinsa inexhaustible. How could he meet such a man today. Damn the story today.

"Why should I anyway? I'm tired already, I also want to finish the campus tasks, not only you that I have to follow." annoyed Reinsa who finally can let go.

"I'll help you finish your college assignments" the man replied with his flat face.

"The task is not that easy" Reinsa quipped as he folded his arms around his chest and rolled his eyes lazily.

"Already, come!" Without prolonging their argument, the man immediately pulled Reinsa's hand wrapped in his gamis arm. However, the pull this time was not like before. The man pulled Reinsa's hand softer, that it made Reinsa less painful than it had been. They finally headed to a place to eat in this mall.
