Satria felt his body slowly beginning to recover. Although the pain and fatigue still lingered, the progress in physical therapy made him more optimistic. The support from Maya, Beni, and the medical team had given him additional strength. Each day, Satria began to move more freely, even though the pain sometimes still haunted his every movement.
That morning, Satria woke from his restless sleep. Thoughts of Apex continued to haunt his nights, making his sleep feel shorter. As he tried to sit up in bed, the hospital room door opened. Colonel Faisal, with a firm yet calm stride, entered the room with a serious expression.
"Satria, how are you feeling today?" Faisal asked, his voice low but firm. He looked at Satria attentively, as if searching for signs of exhaustion or discomfort.
Satria gave a weak smile. "Better, Colonel. Thank you for your concern. How's the situation outside?" Although he smiled, his eyes showed deep fatigue.
Faisal sighed deeply before answering. "We've increased security around the hospital. Our team is monitoring any suspicious activities and reinforcing critical points. We've also added extra patrols and checked the areas surrounding the hospital."
Maya, who was sitting next to Satria, immediately added, "We've also reviewed documents and information related to Apex. There are indications that they might be planning something bigger." Her voice was tense, reflecting the seriousness of the situation they were facing.
Colonel Faisal nodded in agreement. "We can't ignore the possibility of further threats. If they know that Satria is still in the hospital and in recovery, they might see this as an opportunity to attack." His face showed deep concern.
Satria, who was listening intently, began to think about the possibilities that could occur. His face furrowed, a sign that he was seriously contemplating the situation. "What can we do to ensure our safety and prevent an attack?" he asked, his voice full of determination.
Faisal explained the plan that had been put together. "We'll increase surveillance and strengthen security around the hospital. Additionally, we're coordinating with the intelligence unit to gather more information on potential threats from Apex. We'll also prepare an emergency plan in case anything happens."
Maya and Beni exchanged glances, as if they understood each other without needing to say anything. They knew how important it was to stay vigilant and not let their guard down. Both realized that every second was precious in a situation like this.
After the brief meeting, Faisal left the room quickly, leaving Satria with Maya and Beni. A few moments later, the room became quieter, although the tension was still palpable in the air. Satria, who was usually so strong and confident, now felt a heavy burden. However, he knew that he had to recover quickly and be ready to face whatever was coming.
A few hours later, Maya and Beni decided to return to the café where they had previously met. They felt the need to continue their search for information about Apex and their plans. Upon arriving at the café, which was full of busy people, they sat in a quiet corner of the room, away from the crowd.
Maya opened her laptop, while Beni sat across from her with a phone in hand, ready to contact important people. They began their search for information with high intensity, not wanting to waste any time.
"We need to find out more about Apex's movements and their key members," Maya said as she examined the data they had. Her voice was focused, reflecting the seriousness of the situation they were facing.
Beni nodded and added, "I'll try to contact some informants and see if they have any updates. We need to speed up this process." His eyes were focused on the phone screen, looking for numbers to call.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Satria continued his physical therapy sessions with renewed vigor. He knew that the faster he recovered, the sooner he could return to the field and protect the people he cared about. Rina, the nurse who always accompanied him, patiently guided Satria through a series of exercises designed to increase his strength and flexibility.
"How do you feel after yesterday's training session?" Rina asked with a gentle smile. She had seen Satria's progress and felt proud of the dedication he showed.
Satria took a deep breath before answering. "Better. Although there's still some pain, I feel stronger every day." His gaze was full of confidence, even though the fatigue was still present.
Rina nodded in satisfaction. "That's good news. Keep practicing and following the doctor's instructions. The faster you recover, the sooner we can ensure your safety and continue our mission." Her words were filled with enthusiasm, giving Satria extra motivation to keep fighting.
On the other side of the city, Lieutenant Colonel Rendra was at the military headquarters, busy monitoring the situation through his computer screen. He had ordered his team to increase vigilance and monitor any suspicious movements around the hospital. Intelligence reports kept coming in, and he carefully examined every detail.
"Intelligence reports suspicious activity in several nearby locations," Rendra said over the radio to the patrol team. "Keep an eye on those areas and report any developments directly." His voice was firm, reflecting the seriousness of the situation they were facing.
The patrol team, consisting of trained members, began moving towards the suspected locations. They checked every corner, ensuring that there were no hidden threats that could endanger the hospital or Satria. Every step was taken carefully, ensuring nothing was overlooked.
At the café, Maya and Beni finally found important information. Maya's eyes were fixed on the laptop screen, reading a report they had just downloaded. Meanwhile, Beni was on the phone with one of his informants, who provided crucial clues about Apex's plans.
"Maya, look at this," Beni said, pointing to Maya's laptop screen. His face showed deep concern. "There's an indication that Apex is planning a major attack. They might have already identified our weaknesses."
Maya carefully read the report. Every word she read only strengthened her belief that they were in great danger. "We need to inform Colonel Faisal and the military team immediately. They need to prepare for the worst," she said firmly.
Without wasting time, Maya and Beni rushed to the hospital. They knew that every second was precious, and they needed to report this latest development to Colonel Faisal and the military team immediately. Upon arriving at the hospital, they went straight to the meeting room where Faisal and his team were preparing.
"Colonel, we have very important new information," Maya said, her voice full of urgency. She handed the report they had just found to Faisal.
Faisal quickly read the report, then looked at his team seriously. "We must take immediate action. Increasing security and preparing for a possible attack is our top priority. There's no room for error."
That night, the hospital was filled with a tense atmosphere. The military team on guard doubled their security and strengthened their positions around the area. They knew that a threat from Apex could come at any moment, and they had to be ready to protect Satria and everyone involved.
Meanwhile, Satria, though still in the recovery process, felt calmer knowing that his friends and the military team were working hard to ensure their safety. He knew that his journey to recovery was still long, but with the support and careful preparation, he felt more ready to face the next challenge. Every breath he took, every step he made, brought him closer to returning to his full strength.
Outside, the night grew late, but the city remained vigilant. Military patrols continued to move, their eyes sharp, watching every shadow that moved. Behind the scenes, Lieutenant Colonel Rendra and his intelligence team continued to monitor every incoming piece of information, ensuring no detail was missed. Inside the hospital, Maya, Beni, and Colonel Faisal prepared emergency plans, ready for the worst-case scenario.
However, far in the darkness of the night, in a place unknown to them, a member of Apex observed the situation with a thin smile on his face. He knew that this battle had just begun, and Apex's planned major attack was imminent. Satria and his team might have prepared, but they did not fully know what awaited them behind the curtain of the night.
