At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 24. Forever This Chest is Ready to Be Your Backrest
"Friends, let's wake up this morning" said Viara to wake her roommates
"5 minutes to go Viara" Ila said softly as she pulled the blanket to cover her body
"Daddy Viara, 5 minutes away" said Syifa increasingly hugging her pillow bolster
"Jaudah" answered Viara and took her bag
"Viara, how come you're so tidy in the morning, where are you going?" Tanya Ila still closed her eyes
"You go to the city, today we will go to buy house needs with the soldiers" Viara replied while wearing her sling bag
"Astaghfirullah" said Ila and Syifa simultaneously grabbed a towel and ran to 2 different bathrooms. Viara held back her laughter and shook her head at the behavior of her two friends. Hearing her phone vibrate at the sign of an incoming message, Viara reached into her bag to retrieve her phone
📩Physician Image
Viara it's Sunday, I happen to be in C city, are you ready today for the examination?
📩Viara
Ohh yeah, well doctor I'll be in town soon today, by chance today I'm going to town to buy logistic needs. Still in the same hospital, right, doctor?
📩Doctor Love
Yes Viara, I'm waiting
📩Viara
Okay doctor
After replying to the image doctor's message, Viara immediately went to the living room to join her two male teacher friends
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Ask Viara
"Do you know Viara, 5 days away is bang Danru's birthday, we're thinking about what gift we should give our friend that one" he exclaimed
"Year of Danru? Bang Andra?" Viara asked sparkling
"Daddy Viara" replied Juna
"I'll prepare the best gift for bang Andra" Inner Viara pleased
"Hey you girls, quickly what time it is" grumbled Devan
"Yes-yes for a moment"
"Yaudah yuk" said Syifa walking out followed by her friends
"Let's go up" Andra said, allowing the teachers to ride
"Bang Andra's not coming in?" Ask Viara
"Abang sat on the deck, Denis's friend was driving" Andra smiled back. Andra clasped Viara's hand to help her climb up
"Thank you bang"
"Together the deck, now sitting comfortably well, brother to the front first" said Andra embraced Viara with a smile.
"Sir, come sit here" called Pandu patting the empty place beside him
"Anything healthy?" Viara asked happily while touching Pandu's forehead after sitting beside Pandu
"Dad deck, thank God" Pandu replied with a sweet smile on Viara.
"Is everything ready?" Ask Andra
"Ready bang" replied all passengers simultaneously. After making sure everything was ready, Andra started gas-stirring and drove the truck into town.
During the trip there was a joking laugh of the passengers behind, but Viara just kept quiet and noticed the jokes and entertainment of her friends that could make anyone to laugh. Viara continued to be silent as she held the spinning sensation in her head and held her chest of breath
"Dec, what's wrong? you sick deck?" Tanya Pandu made everyone stop their laughter and observe Viara
"Ahh no bang, adek just tired" replied Viara trying to smile so as not to cause concern to his friends
"But Viara, we just walked for 1 hour, still 4 hours we get to the city" said ila who was anxious to see the pale face of Viara
"Daddy deck, your face is so pale, what's the deck pain?" Ask Pandu worriedly
"Water.. Water" said Viara quietly and almost inaudibly. Hearing Viara's soft words behind her, Andra immediately took water and gave it to Pandu. Pandu immediately took the water bottle and helped Viara to drink
"Slow down the deck" said Pandu stroking the sweat on Viara's forehead
"If you want to sleep, just lean on your brother's shoulder" said Pandu gently while rubbing the water spill in the corner of Viara's lips
"But later the shoulder is sore like before" said Viara slowly
"No deck, brother's shoulders will not ache, sleep" said the guide carrying Viara's head to lean on his chest, while his hands he circled behind Viara. Because it was no longer strong enough to withstand the sensation of dizziness in his head, Viara finally fell asleep in the warm embrace. Andra smiled at Viara who was sound asleep and returned to pay attention to the streets, while Viara's friends were made to gawk in disbelief with the attention Pandu did back
"Why can your friends be like this?" Ask Pandu to Viara's friends
After that, there were no more jokes heard behind, they also fell asleep just like Viara because of the weather outside which was raining heavily, so did Andra who was exhausted after driving quite a distance and is now replaced by Denis pratu who took over the wheel
Except for Pandu, he kept awake while stroking Viara's shoulder. Pandu smiled his smile at Viara who was so beautiful when she fell asleep like this. Pandu opened his striped uniform and wore it to Viara so that Viara would not get cold while smiling sweetly looking at that pale face
"Your face is no stranger to the deck, as if we've met before. But I forgot where and when we met. Are you Viara the country girl, the masked teenage girl who managed to steal my heart. I'll find out who you really are" Inner Pandu subconsciously kissed Viara's forehead who was asleep in her embrace
"branch" call Viara slowly
"Daddy deck, what's up hmm?" Ask a gentle Guide
"Didn't it hurt to lean on my brother's chest like this?" Viara asked slowly still feeling an incredible dizzy in her head. Pandu smiled his smile and stroked Viara's back lovingly
"No deck, brother is okay. Forever this chest will always be ready to be your backrest" Viara smiled her smile at Pandu's words and closed her eyes again
"Good sleep well deck, I promise to always take care of you as long as you are by my side" muttered Pandu leaning his cheek on the top of Viara's head leaning against his chest
After traveling for 4 hours, now they had all reached the city market
"Thank God you're not pale on the deck anymore, let's get up, we're there" Pandu said gently patting Viara on the cheek
"All of us have arrived well" said Viara checking her eyes
"From now we've reached the deck table"
"Really, where are my friends?" Viara asked in surprise
"We are here Viara" Ila replied with a smile
"Let's go down the deck" Andra said, extending her hand which was immediately greeted by Viara. When Viara was about to jump, Andra immediately carried her to make the soldiers and teachers wonder, while Pandu again smiled bitterly to see it right in front of his eyes, because indeed the position of Pandu was behind Viara
"Cieee" goda syifa followed her friends
"Defend Danru" cried Pratu Denis to make Viara's face hue red like boiled shrimp
Understanding if his friend was jealous, Rama approached Pandu and patted him on the shoulder. Rama clenched his hands as a form of speech so that Pandu more excited and strong. The guide who understood the meaning of the fist smiled and immediately got down from the truck and acted as if the thing he had just seen had no effect on him
"Hahha already, let's immediately split up and find the necessary items.2 hours we gather here well, already in memorization of this market area" said Andra as the commander of the squad
"Ready already bang" answered all at once
"OK please split up" said Andra immediately split with the other soldiers.
"Bang Pandu, thank you yah" said Viara smiling sweetly at Pandu
"Ehh Viara, where are you going? Is the market out there?" Tanya Ila who saw Viara walking in a different direction
"I want to go to the hospital for a while, want to buy vitamins, because the vitamins that were yesterday have run out" replied Viara smiling
"Abang accompany there well deck" pinta pandu prevented by Viara
"No need to bang, adek alone is the hospital is close from here" said Viara assured Pandu
"Yaudah, if you have a problem or need something, immediately contact your brother" Pandu said again
"Dad bang ready" said Viara smiled sweetly at Pandu and walked to the hospital where he checked his health
______
Arriving at the hospital
"Excuse me doctor Citra" said Viara after entering the room of Doctor Citra at the hospital
"Ehh Viara, come in" Citra's doctor smiled
"How are you doing Viara, are you still experiencing symptoms related to your illness?" Ask the Citra doctor after Viara lies in the gurney
"Dad doctor, yesterday I had a nosebleed, and this morning on my way here my breath was so crowded by doctors that my head was dizzy" Viara explained
"Alright I'll check on you now" Citra's doctor said, starting to check on Viara's condition. After 10 minutes of examination, Citra's doctor sighed violently while turning her back to Viara, but Viara's very strong sense of hearing could hear the harsh breath of Citra's doctor
"Say doctor, is my illness getting worse?" Ask Viara worriedly. The image doctor turned his back and tried to smile at Viara
"Daddy Viara, your cancer cells are starting to spread almost all over your body, except for your head and your legs. But because you start to feel dizziness and a little disturbance in your sense of vision, maybe the cancer cells have reached your head just that the cells have not spread evenly" Citra explained
"Then can I still survive the doctor?" Lirih Viara dropped her tears
"Daddy Viara, because the drugs that you often consume are very helpful to slow the spread of cancer, but we have to keep doing chemotherapy now so that the cells that have not spread in your head are turned off" Citra's doctor replied
"Is the chemo time long for doctors? I just have a little time here?" Ask Viara back
"Not long Viara, and you won't feel the nausea and dizziness that are so intense. How do you agree?"
"Okay doctor, do your best" said Viara, taken by the image doctor with a smile. The image doctor began to prepare the tool and immediately did chemotherapy in Viara's body
"Servant please give me more time, O Lord, if the victory is imminent the servant will go before You, then please give me happiness in the last days of the servant. Before these eyes are no longer able to look at the beauty of Your creation and before this hand can no longer reach anything in front of the eyes, then allow the servant to be happy, O Lord"
