At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 23. His love is Abang Pandu
It has not been felt for 2 months Viara is in an area far from the hustle of the city, or rather located in the interior area on the eastern border of Indonesia. But Viara's mood and day are always crowded and exciting because of the friends and security guards of the country. The casual jokes from her friends always make Viara laugh and be herself, while the presence of Andra beside her always makes Viara's chest pound with her lips that continue to publish her sweet smile.
While Pandu, I don't know what happened to the man. He always felt something he did not understand when he saw the closeness of Viara and Andra. Her heart always wanted to be close to Viara, but Pandu realized she was only a friend to Viara, not more. Sometimes Pandu always try to make Viara smile with his attention that sometimes fits and sometimes excessive. But Viara always appreciated the Pandu's actions and attention. However Pandu is a close friend of his who has been considered as his own brother.
While Ila is also a little suspicious of Pandu. The question that always arises in his mind is does Pandu love Viara? From the nature of Pandu that Ila saw, Pandu always tried to approach and pay attention to Viara, moreover, Pandu's eyes often steal a glance at Viara as they all sit in one truck to buy logistics needs in the city market. Pandu also often looks moody and smiles bitterly when he sees Viara who is so close and familiar with Andra. As at this time, when the soldiers and the five teachers were sitting while burning corn given by villagers who had a big harvest, Pandu did not reveal his nose there.
"Friends and brothers all, did you guys see the Pandu bang?" Viara asked who was sitting next to Andra
"No Viara, since we've been here, we haven't even seen the guide bang since" Devan replied
"Let me find Pandu first well" said Bang Rama who will stand but prevented Viara
"Ehhh no need to bang, brother sitting here aja well, continue to burn his corn, let's just go looking for bang Pandu" said Viara standing from his seat
"I'm coming with you, Viara" Ila pinta
"No need Ila, please Bang Rama if you stay still" Viara's temptation to get laughter from everyone
"Hahaha, just continue the study well, I went to find the Pandu bang first" said Viara smiling and stepping her feet looking for Pandu.
While searching at the army post, Viara smiled from afar when she saw Pandu sitting alone in front of the post while playing her guitar. Viara walked up to the post to hear Pandu singing a song in English
I could say I never dare
(you could say I was always scared)
To think about you in that way
(To have feelings for you)
But, I would be lying
(But I could have lied)
And I pretend I'm happy for you
(And I pretend to be happy for you)
When you find some dude to take home
(When you find someone new)
But, I won't deny that
(But I won't deny it)
In the midst of the crowds
(In the midst of the crowd)
In the shapes in the clouds
(Among the cloud)
I don't see nobody but you
(All I see is you)
In my rose-tinted dreams
(In my dreams)
Wrinkled silk on my sheets
(Crummed threads in my bedsheets)
I don't see nobody but you
(All I see is you)
Boy, you got me hooked on to something
(Darling, you did get me hooked)
Who could say that they saw us coming?
Tell me, do you feel the love?
(Tell me, do you feel love?)
Spend the summer of a lifetime with me
(Take the rest of your life with me)
Let me take you to the place of your dreams
(Let me take you where you dream of)
Tell me, do you feel the love?
(Tell me, do you feel love?)
And I could say I never answered
(And you could say I'm not paying attention)
These believeers inside my head
(That confidence is in my mind)
But that's from the truth
(But real is not so)
Don't know what's come over me
(What happened to me)
It seems like yesterday when I said
(I think I just said it yesterday)
"We'll be friends forever"
(We'll be friends forever)
Constellations of stars
(Among the stars)
Murals on city walls
(A painting on the city wall)
I don't see nobody but you
(All I see is you)
You're my vice, you're my muse
(you are my weakness, you are my inspiration)
You're a nineteenth floor view
(You are an amazing person)
I don't see nobody but you
(I always remember you)
Boy, you got me hooked on to something
(Darling, you did get me hooked)
Who could say that they saw us coming?
Tell me, do you feel the love?
(Tell me, do you feel love?)
Spend the summer of a lifetime with me
(Take the rest of your life with me)
Let me take you to the place of your dreams
(Let me take you where you dream of)
Tell me, do you feel the love?
(Tell me, do you feel love?)
Boy, you got me hooked on to something
(Darling, you did get me hooked)
Who could say that they saw us coming?
Tell me, do you feel the love?

Spend the summer of a lifetime with me
(Take the rest of your life with me)
Let me take you to the place of your dreams

"it's for you deck" muttered Pandu putting his guitar next to his chair. After he finished singing, Pandu leaned his back on the chair and placed his forearm over his face. When he opened his eyes, Pandu smiled to see Viara standing right in front of him while smiling sweetly at him
"Daddy, is that you? Or just my imagination. I always imagined your face everywhere deck" Inner Pandu continued to stare at the girl in front of him. Viara smiled sweetly at Pandu and sat down beside him
"Why not join other friends? Is your brother sick?" Viara asked gently and reflexively held Pandu's forehead
"Astaghfirullah, his forehead is very hot" Viara was worried
"Daddy, is that you?" Ask Pandu with a sad look
"Dad bang, this is adek. Is your brother sick?" Viara asked softly
"Daddy deck is sick" replied Pandu
"It hurts to see you always with Andra" he continued in his heart
"Yaudah brother rest well, here is help" said Viara immediately memapah Pandu to rest in his room. After Viara helped her lie down, Pandu smiled at her pale face to see Viara opening her shoes
"Smarty opening shoes like this?" Ask the Plan guide
"Dad is very smart, because it used to be adek often open the shoes of the father if the father has come home from work" replied Viara softly
"Father is also a soldier?" pandu's question made Viara speechless on the spot
"Ehh bang, bentar yah adek to the back first" said Viara embraced by Pandu. Before Pandu asked more about her, Viara immediately went to the kitchen to prepare the porridge and cold water to compost Pandu's forehead
10 minutes later, Viara returned to Pandu's room with a tray in her hand
"Come bang, eat first" said Viara softly
"Not having a taste of the deck" Pandu said slowly
"If you don't eat, you'll be weaker. Adek help bribe well, just a little bang" said Viara gently and help Pandu lean on the back of the bed. Viara painstakingly fed Pandu gently while smiling sweetly at him. Pandu was pleased in his heart to see Viara stroking the corner of his lips and chin that had been spilled food from his mouth. After feeding Pandu, Viara gave the medicine to drink Pandu and began compressing Pandu's forehead
"Thank you deck, if you were the teenage girl I met in that village, I would be very lucky to have found you. But take it easy deck, if God allows me to live with you in the future, then I promise to take care and love you with all my heart" said Pandu staring at the face of Viara above him. Viara rubbed the top of Pandu's head and placed her head on his lap
"Abang must be tired, so it hurts like this" Inner Viara massaged Pandu's head gently.
"branch?" viara said while massaging Pandu's head
"hmmm" replied Pandu slowly
"From the song brother earlier, brother sang it like representing brother's feelings. I'm sorry if you're so sassy, did you fall in love with someone but that person loves someone else?" Ask Viara who understands the meaning of the Pandu song earlier
"Dad, brother fell in love with someone, but his heart is not for brother" replied Pandu weakly
"why bang, is it because he loves someone else who is not a brother? then you pretend to be happy when you see the person you love with the other person?" Viara asked with a nod of the head by Pandu with a smile.
"so bad, it must be very painful to see our loved ones put their hearts not on us" muttered Viara softly who can still be heard Pandu
"You're the woman of the deck, dear brother to you. But your heart is not for your brother, but for others" Inner Pandu looked at the face of the woman who was still loyal to guard him
"But brother will never give up the deck, may you be the last woman your brother loves and be the companion of your brother's life forever" Inner Pandu smilingly felt Viara's attention and slowly closed his eyes.
After massaging Pandu's sleeping head, Viara laid Pandu's head on the pillow and took a blanket to cover her body
"Hurry to heal well bang, so that you can play the same cooking together again" said Viara still compressing Pandu's forehead. Tired of working all day, Viara finally fell asleep with Pandu's left chest as her pillow. Viara also tightly grasped Pandu's hand above Pandu's stomach
Ila and bang Rama who were observing the two since earlier looked at each other and returned a smile
"Sir, let Viara sleep here well, brother promise Viara will be fine" pinta bang Rama
"Dad bang" said Ila agree with the speech of bang Rama.
bang Rama smiled his smile at the shady face of the two people inside and slowly closed the door of their room
"May Viara be the woman destined for you bang"

At 2 pm, Pandu woke up from his sleep and showed his smile to see Viara sleeping on his left chest, his heart felt very calm let alone Viara who grasped tightly his hands
"Thank you for taking care of my brother well deck" muttered Pandu rubbed Viara's back and kissed the top of his head
"Abang promised, in the future my brother will always protect and love you always, even though my brother's life must be at stake" muttered Pandu peeked at the top of Viara's head and slowly closed his eyes.
At 4:30 in the morning, Viara woke up from her sleep and smiled sweetly at Pandu's face that did not look pale anymore
"Alhamdulillah, the heat has gone down" muttered Viara happily while touching Pandu's forehead
"a beautiful dream, bang. Adek go home first, assalamu'alaikum bang Pandu" said Viara involuntarily kissed Pandu's forehead. Viara smiled sweetly and walked away from Pandu's room to go home.
"You're going home deck?" Ask Bang Rama who is sitting alone in the middle room
"Father Bang" Viara replied with a smile
"Thank you for taking care of Bang Pandu last night"
"Dad Bang, equally. if Bang Pandu is still sick or why-napa immediately tell adek yah Bang" pinta Viara
"Each deck, let's bring your brother to the front" said Bang Rama embraced by Viara with a smile. Bang Rama also drove Viara home to his office located in front of there. After Viara entered his service house, bang Rama back again to the post with a happy smile
"May your love be avenged bang"
