Di sebuah kondominium di jantung kota New York, Oleg Rumanov baru saja kembali dari pusat kebugaran. Ia meletakkan tasnya yang berisi peralatan olah raganya di atas meja kemudian membuka lemari pendingin dan mengeluarkan sebotol minuman dingin lalu menikmati isinya. "Aku akan berangkat ke pusat pangkalan mata-mata malam ini," kata Igor Rumanov, ayah Oleg Rumanov. Oleg meletakkan botol minuman di tangannya ke atas meja dan menatap ayahnya yang berusia lima puluh lima tahun. Seorang mantan komandan angkatan darat dari Rusia yang baru saja pensiun tetapi bukannya menikmati masa pensiunnya justru bergabung dengan agen mata-mata dari negaranya, hal ini tidak membuat Oleg heran karena ayahnya sudah mengemukakan keinginannya sejak lama. Bahkan saat ayahnya masih aktif di angkatan militer Rusia, ayahnya sudah berulang kali mengutarakan niatnya. Ibunya mendambakan ayahnya menikmati masa tua di Rusia dengan menjadi petani atau berternak di lahan peninggalan orang tua ibunya yang berada di pinggiran kota dan hanya ditanami gandum di musim panas dan mengandalkan tenaga buruh sehingga hasil panen menjadi tidak maksimal karena lahan gandum tidak ditangani dengan maksimal. Begitu juga kakak-kakak Oleg, mereka berharap ayah mereka menikmati masa tua dengan santai dan damai, tetapi ayahnya tidak peduli dan menempuh jalan yang paling diinginkannya. Ayahnya menerima upah yang sangat tinggi untuk menjalankan misi ini, tetapi Oleg tahu jika upah tinggi bukan satu-satunya sebab ayahnya mengambil misi berbahaya ini. Kecintaan terhadap tanah airnyalah yang menggerakkan hati ayahnya dan Oleg sangat mengapresiasi keberanian ayahnya. Ayahnya dulu berharap Oleg bergabung dengan militer Rusia seperti ayahnya dan juga kakeknya, tetapi setelah menyelesaikan wajib militer Oleg menempuh jalan lain. Ia memilih menempuh pendidikan hukum, bukan karena tidak memiliki jiwa nasionalisme tetapi karena lebih tertarik dengan tatanan hukum di dalam masyarakat dan bertekad untuk membantu masyarakat menegakkan keadilan dengan caranya. Berada di barak militer bertahun-tahun dan harus jauh dari keluarga, ia tidak memiliki nyali yang besar seperti ayahnya saat harus menjadi garda terdepan bagi negara saat negara dalam bahaya. "Kau harus berhati-hati," kata Oleg mengingatkan ayahnya yang berdiri di depannya sembari memegangi tas punggung. "Kau juga harus berhati-hati dalam bergaul di sini." Saat ini generasi muda tidak begitu peduli dengan konflik politik antar negara, seperti dirinya karena selama bergaul dengan teman-teman di kampusnya faktanya banyak yang menentang peperangan dengan dalih hak asasi manusia. Oleg setuju dengan itu, menurutnya konflik politik antar negara apalagi peperangan hanyalah bentuk dari keegoisan para penguasa negara. "Aku baik-baik saja." "Jika teman-temanmu tahu jika kau putra seorang mata-mata, aku yakin mereka tidak akan menjadi temanmu lagi." "Well, kurasa itu tidak akan terungkap kecuali kau melakukan kesalahan dan mengungkap jati diriku." Igor mengedikkan bahunya. "Itu tidak akan terjadi." "Jadi, apa misimu kali ini?" "Baru-baru ini pangkalan militer kita menerima informasi kalau Amerika sedang mengembangkan nuklir jenis baru yang lebih canggih dari nuklir buatan negara kita," kata Igor dengan mimik serius. "Jika benar maka kami harus segera mendapatkan sistem informasi dari mereka dan memberikan datanya pada militer kita agar mereka secepatnya membuat teknologi serupa atau bahkan lebih baik dari mereka." Oleg bersedekap mendengarkan penjelasan ayahnya, pria bermata biru muda dan rambut pirang itu mengangguk-angguk pelan. "Kau ingat 'kan bagaimana cara menghubungi rekanku di saat genting?" tanya Igor. Ada banyak hal-hal bersifat rahasia yang diajarkan Igor padanya dan Oleg tidak pernah melupakannya sedikit pun. "Ya, jangan khawatir."After a one-hour recess, the doors of the courtroom swung open, and a solemn silence fell over the room. Mark Wilson, adorned in a disheveled suit, returned to his seat next to his defense attorney as he disgustingly glared at Gerald. The tension in the air was palpable as all eyes turned towards him. The judge, a stern figure draped in black robes, resumed his position on the elevated bench. He surveyed the room with an air of authority, his gaze landing on Mark Wilson. "Mr. Wilson, it is time for your final defense to present any evidence supporting your innocence," he declared, his voice resonating through the room. Mark Wilson's attorney, a middle-aged man with graying hair, rose from his seat, his expression anxious. He glanced towards Mark, his eyes filled with unease, and then nervously addressed the judge. "Your Honor, unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances and lack of conclusive evidence, we have no additional exhibits or witnesses to present. However,
Gerald closed the door behind him and leaned against it, feeling exhausted and drained. He had just spent hours at the police station with his lawyer, Mr. James, trying to prove that Mark was the one who had been blackmailing Hazel, his fiancee, for months. Gerald rubbed his eyes and sighed. He looked at his watch and saw that it was past midnight. He wondered if Hazel was still awake, waiting for him. He pushed himself away from the door and walked towards their bedroom, hoping to find her asleep in their bed. He reached the bedroom door and opened it quietly, not wanting to wake her up if she was sleeping. He stepped inside and saw her sitting on the bed, wearing a white nightgown that contrasted with her dark hair. She looked up at him with wide eyes that reflected the moonlight coming through the window. She smiled faintly and said in a soft voice: “Gerald… you’re back.” He smiled back at her and walked towards the bed, dropping his briefcase on the flo
The dimly lit police station was filled with an air of tension as Gerald stood beside his lawyer, Mr. James. They both shared a look of determination, while Mark looked nervously around. The room was cold, with gray walls and a flickering fluorescent light overhead, casting an eerie glow on the worn-out furniture. Officer Jacobs, a middle-aged man with a stern expression, entered the room. He had a no-nonsense demeanor that intimidated even the most composed individuals. He approached Mark, handcuffs in his hand. "Mark Wilson, if I get that right, you're under arrest for the alleged blackmail of Mr. Gerald Carrington Fraser's fiancée," Officer Jacobs declared, his voice firm. Mark's eyes widened with what seemed like disbelief. "What? No, Officer, you've got it all wrong. I would never do such a thing! I was in my room when these two men barged in. Firstly, I could have charged them for invasion of privacy, but I didn't. Now, they are accusing me of what? This is what we
Hazel looked at Gerald, her heart pounding as she wondered where to start the whole narration from. Obviously, she wasn't at fault because she didn't do anything but would Gerald believe that? He knew that she was obsessive, so if something like that happened, no one would want to doubt it. And here she was again, the fact that she hid it from everyone will make it seem as though she was trying to cover up for herself. "Why are you silent? Speak up! You need to say something." Gerald said, almost yelling. "I don't want to care what happened. Just tell me in details. Who is Mark and why is he blackmailing you? It is had simple as that." Hazel took a deep breath, and sat up for the sake of comfort. "Promise me you won't hurt me." "Does it matter? Just tell me what happened." "I really didn't do anything, I swear. I was being blackmailed falsely because I know the consequences of it getting out." Hazel said, her gaze apologetic as she spoke. "If you didn't do an
The sun shone brightly through the hospital window, casting a warm glow on Hazel's face as she watched the door waiting eagerly for Gerald to arrive. It had been a difficult journey days spent in pain and uncertainty, but his visits were like beams of light in her darkest moments. He brought laught
Finally Hazel's eyes opened and a weak smile graced her lips. "Gerald," she whispered her voice fragile but filled with love. Gerald felt a rush of emotion relief flooding his being. He leaned closer to her tears streaming down his face. "Hazel you're awake. Thank God you're okay." Hazel's smile w
Gerald stifled a yawn as he stood up from the dining table his eyes growing heavy with feigned exhaustion. As he stretched his arms he glanced at Hazel who sat across from him her gaze fixed on her plate. The flickering candlelight danced on her face casting a shadow against her furrowed brow. G
Gerald and Hazel were eating dinner in the dining room, a quiet and cozy space with a wooden table, a chandelier and a fireplace. They ate in silence, avoiding eye contact and making small talk about the weather and Arin who was still in jail. Gerald noticed that Hazel seemed distracted and tense a
