At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 38. Protecting You All My Heart
"Thank you for what deck?" Tanya Pandu made Viara stop her steps.
Viara turned to look at Pandu and revealed her genuine smile while saying
"Thank you for the song" Pandu was immediately stunned to hear Viara's words just now.
Pandu smiled happily looking at the back of Viara who was walking towards her service home
"Bang, it looks like Viara's deck knows if the song is for her" Rama said leaning against the door as he folded his arms
"Your words have a point, but how can he know if the song was sung for him, but he was not here before" Pandu said confused
"Maybe it's an inner bond between the two of you. After all, my brother is happy if Viara knows if the song is sung for him" said Rama carried Pandu with a smile
"I love you Viara"

Upon arrival at her home, Viara wiped her tears and passed to the bathroom to clean her sticky body. Viara let the cold shower water continuously flush it to reduce the weight of her current mind. After showering for 25 minutes, Viara grabbed her kimono towel and passed out of the room. After being neat with her clothes, Viara who was wearing her hijab immediately picked up her mobile phone that vibrated on her dressing table a sign of an incoming message
📩Bang Andra❤
Deck, how was this afternoon eating together at the mbak iyem stall, right?
📩Viara
Yeah, so dong
📩Bang Andra❤
Okay, brother in front of the house, brother wait well
"Wait a moment bang" Shouted Viara from inside her room.
After tidy and wearing her hijab, Viara immediately grabbed her bag and passed out of the house. Viara put on her smile and moved her legs back towards Andra who was leaning on her bike while staring at her
"Well, the beauty of my future wife" Andra praised Viara's back and pulled her hand to get closer to her bike. Viara glanced towards the army post and breathed a sigh of relief because Pandu was no longer there
"Alhamdulillah bang Pandu is not here" Viara said in her heart
"Why deck? Has anyone missed?" Asked Andra who could hear Viara's sigh of relief
"No one is missing the bang, let's just walk away" Invite Viara with her voice full of gentleness
"Okay deck" Andra replies putting the helmet on Viara who is smiling sweetly at her
"Why do you keep going, there's something strange on your brother's face?" Andra asked while putting a helmet-mounted strap under Viara's neck
"Heheh there is no bang, just handsome" said Viara.
Andra stroked the top of Viara's head and drove her motorcycle towards the stall they were going to eat together
"Dek, brother so sivet memories 8 years ago, we used to also walk together like this. In the afternoon a bright and adek that introduces the buildings in adek village" said Andra recounting the story of the past that was passed together first
"Dad was right, remember. But adek is much more powerful than brother loh" said Viara wrapped her hands around Andra's waist
"Well, why the deck?" Ask Andra while watching the speed of the motor
"At that time it will be adek ngajakin brother to the most beautiful hill in the village, brother mah just ngajakin eat at stall mbak iyem doang" said Viara to shake his lips
"Hahaha, here there is also a beautiful hill like in adek village. But it's much more beautiful here. Adek wants to come?"
"You bang, you want" exclaimed Viara enthusiastically behind Andra
"Haha patience well deck, shortly after the prayer isya, we will go to the hill together. It just so happens that there are soldiers hanging out there too" Andra said, laughing at the enthusiastic girl who was embracing her waist tightly and making her comfortable
"Walking on the hill? Why bang?" Viara asked in confusion
"Every Sunday night we always there deck, grill corn and enjoy the beautiful village lights from a height"
"It sounds exciting bang, adek follow well, adek promise will not bother brother there" persuaded Viara memelas
"Haha although the pain is also not what times, it is the wife-to-be" Andra said with a nod of the head by Viara while smiling happily.
After arriving at the mbak Iyem stall, it is seen if the food stall is very crowded visitors. Andra clasped Viara's hand straight into the sizable food stall and looked for a place for them. Because of her charm, the women willingly give her seat to Andra make Viara bobble head in her make
"Daddy, what message do you want?" Ask Andra softly
"Adek want to order chicken default to mix rice with orange juice bang" said Viara smiling
"Okay deck, mbak iyem, I ordered 2 chicken defaults, 1 orange juice and 1 cappucino well" Pinta Andra directly to the owner of the stall.
"Okay bang" replied mbak iyem immediately prepare the order Andra.
10 Minutes later
"Well, the sauce is very much, adek so not strong" said Viara staring at the food in front of him that has been served by Mbak Iyem
"Not strong but the saliva already wants to come out" said Andra while laughing to see Viara who was caught red-handed. A slightly irritated Viara scooped up the rice and put it straight into Andra's mouth to stop laughing. Andra smiled chewing her food and stuffing a spoonful of rice in Viara's mouth
"Thank you baby, let's open Aak's mouth." said Andra prepared to feed Viara. Viara smiled and opened her mouth for a spoonful of food in Andra's hand to make it into her mouth
"Thank you bang, if bribed brother feels much more delicious" said Viara with a smile
"Haha, if we are halal later on deck, brother will always feed you every time we eat together" Andra said as she rubbed Viara's hand gently
"Dad bang, but now can't be a goddamn bribe anymore?" viara Pinta. Andra brought her face closer to Viara's ear and whispered
"Just look at the women around us, they both keep our attention" Viara turned to look left and right and realized if Andra's words were true
"Why bang?" Viara asked half a whisper. Andra smiled and whispered
"Later one of them there is a jealous same deck loh, hahaha" Andra's laughter broke to see Viara's annoyed face
"This fly, eat fast before the mouth flies enter" annoyed Viara. Because Andra was still laughing, Viara scooped food and put it in Andra's mouth so he stopped laughing
"Thank you dear" Andra said sincerely. Viara lowered her smile and nodded her head at Andra
"Come on the deck, continue to eat it" said Andra who began to eat the food followed by Viara until the two of them ate with solemnity and only the sound of the clanking of spoons was heard from both
When Viara put the piece of chicken in her mouth and chewed it, Viara immediately stopped chewing looking at someone who was smiling bitterly not too far behind Andra
"Bang Pandu why are you here?" Viara said in her heart. Pandu turned to look at her food as her eyes accidentally collided with Viara's gaze
"Dek, how dumb. The chicken is not good?" Ask Andra after she finishes chewing
"Hehe's good bang, good" Viara said back to chewing her chicken quickly
"That's the deck, brother will not take your chicken, why the food is like being chased by a lion" said Andra bobbing his head to see the girl in front of him
"Enak bang" exclaimed Viara continued to eat his chicken voraciously
"Enak is delicious, but do not let the glass of gini dong deck" said Andra cleaning the side of the lips Viara which contained the rest of the sauce attached there.
Viara smiled at Andra, but as her eyes glanced behind Andra's body, Viara's smile disappeared from her lips
"Abang fast eat it well, we run out of it we go directly to the mosque to pray magrib together" said Viara cleaning his hands with tissue
"But the deck, it's still 5pm, it's the magrib prayer in an hour. So it can be long here deck tablets" Andra said while grazing his coffee
"Come on bang, want to walk the afternoon with Abang. Come bang please" Pinta Viara
"Keyword?"
"Dear dear brother" Viara replied smilingly
"Haha come on" Andra put a piece of red money on the table and pulled Viara's hand to walk with her.
Before missing behind the door, Viara stopped her steps and turned to look at Pandu who was also staring at her
"I'm sorry bang" Inner Viara looked at Pandu wistfully and again stepped out following Andra
"No deck, maybe happy you won instead of with me" muttered Pandu took his breath and exhaled slowly
________
After a 15-minute journey, they have now reached their destination. Viara got down from the back seat of the bike and joined the soldiers who had arrived at the hill.
When the distance was close to the soldiers, Viara was stunned to look at Pandu who was also among the soldiers sitting together in front of the campfire
"Deck, you came too. Not afraid of the trip here?" Ask Bang Jaya
"No fear Bang, there are brothers all who are ready to take care of adek, kok adek afraid anyway" said Viara in a nod by the soldiers with a smile.
They continued to burn corn together with the joking and laughter of the soldiers who so comforted Viara's heart. Viara occasionally joked and got laughter from the soldiers
"Really deck?" Tanya Bang Bayu held her stomach from tired of laughing
"Dong Bang, the time of lies. The story is so" said Viara back to make his friends laugh
"Already, let's lift the corn before the gosong tuh" Andra ordered while helping Viara take his corn from the embers.
"Astaghfirullah, hot!!" Ringis Viara accidentally touched her newly lifted corn
"Be careful deck, freshly burned corn is hot, delicious again. Here Abang bantuin" Andra said looking for a way so that Viara did not have trouble eating his corn
"Where, good?" Andra asked looking at Viara who was already enjoying her corn
"Enak Bang, thank you yah" replied Viara gently and resumed eating.
Andra smiled as she stroked the top of Viara's head affectionately, while Pandu forced herself to stay focused on eating her corn, even though her occasional eyes glanced at Viara who was so happy with Andra.
After finishing the grilled corn, Viara stepped up her legs and sat close to the end of the hill so that she could see the beautiful scenery of the village. Andra stepped up to him and sat beside Viara who was sparkling happily seeing the beauty of the village lights from above
"Is the view beautiful on deck?" Said Andra while embracing Viara's shoulder
"Father Bang, from here even we can see the village hall, army post, house, school and much more" said Viara sparkling with pleasure
"Then this is the memory of the grandmother in the village" He continued
"Don't be sad well deck, there are no brothers here, there are good friends too, so even though it's far from family, you won't be lonely" Andra said with a nod of his head by Viara while smiling. The two of them threw smiles at each other and stared at the beautiful scenery down there in silence
"When I can breathe this air. I don't know when I can look at the beauty of his creation down there. I don't know when I'll reach for something before my eyes before I leave for ever" Viara held back her tears from spilling
Drtts.. Drtts...
Andra reached into the mobile phone that vibrated in her pants pocket
"Hello, what's wrong?" Ask Andra
(..........)
"Hmm are there any additional troops sent?" Ask Andra back
(..........)
"Ready, I'll be there soon" Andra replied, turning off the phone. Andra turned to look at Viara who was also staring at her
"Dek, brother go home first well, brother there is a special mission" Andra said in serious fashion
"But Bang, adek still want to sit with his brother here" Viara pleaded
"Abang will tell Pandu your friends here, because not all troops here are needed" Andra said stroking the top of Viara's head
"Be careful, Bang" Viara said, wiping away her tears
"Dad deck, brother go first well assalamu'alaikum" Andra said to kiss the back of Viara's hand
"Walaikumsalam Bang" bales Viara smiled. Andra nodded with a smile and ran up to her bike followed by all the soldiers on the hill except Pandu.
Viara smiled and returned the wave of Andra's hand that had drifted away with her persona
Viara steadied her heart and walked up to Pandu who was sitting in front of the bonfire. After Viara sat right in front of Pandu, there was only silence between the two, only the sound of crickets breaking the silence between the awkwardness
"Dek" said Pandu preventing silence
"Dad Bang, what's wrong?" viara looked at Pandu who was smiling at her. Viara stared fixedly at Pandu's eyes, still stamped with sadness and wounds there even though her lips revealed her sweet smile. Inadvertently, Viara's tears escaped from her eyes staring at the sincere man in front of her
"Sir, why cry?" Ask Gentle Scout. Viara immediately wiped her tears and showed her smile to Pandu
"It's okay" said Viara trying to convince Pandu
"Why deck, same story brother" said Pandu switched to sit beside Viara. Viara wiped away the tears on her cheeks and diverted the conversation from Pandu
"Sitting in front of this bonfire, adek so remember when we were fishing together 2 months ago" Viara said with her voice so soft
"At that time, my brother slipped and splashed into the lake. If you drown....." Pandu stopped her speech as Viara placed her index finger right on her lips
"Don't go on" said Viara shaking her head with teary eyes
"If indeed brother drowns, if.if..." Viara rushed to Pandu because she was no longer strong to continue her words.
Pandu returned Viara's embrace while gently stroking her sobbing back on her shoulder
"Never go Bang, do not hiks.adek is wrong brother, but do not go in a place that is difficult to reach hiks.. Forgive me adek" said Viara clutched Pandu tightly
"Pardon the brother who made you anxious firstwell" Viara smiled and released her embrace from Pandu. Viara turned to look up and looked at the slightly faded star as it was covered in thin clouds
"Risya, calm down. I have friends as good as you here. I will never forget you. Wait for me in his paradise well" said Viara while holding the hand of Pandu.
Viara wiped her tears and smiled brightly looking at the returning star shining brightly up there. Pandu looked at Viara and gently stroked the top of Viara's head
"Thank you for considering your best friend's brother after Risya" Pandu said with a smile
"Together bang, let's go home" Viara asked Pandu with a smile.
Pandu held Viara's hand and walked up to her motorbike. After making sure Viara was sitting comfortably behind him, Pandu rang his motorbike and drove it across the quiet and very dark streets.
Viara was frightened to see the owl that sounded and stared at him
"Well, is there no other way?" Viara asked a little scared
"Why deck, are you scared?" Tanya Pandu is a Viara. When looking ahead, Viara was more frightened because the road they were going through was very dark, the light from the motor light Pandu did not illuminate the road far ahead there.
Pandu tilted her smile to see Viara who was embracing her waist tightly and leaning her frightened face on Pandu's back
"So calm well, it's okay, it's safe" Viara nodded quickly at Pandu's back.
Pandu tries to stay calm and keep Viara safe at his side even though since then, behind them are several cycling groups that continue to follow both
"Their faces are not clearly visible in this kind of darkness" Inner guide stared at his rearview mirror with a sharp and alert look in his eyes
"Don't you hear some kind of bicycle noise?" Viara asked still leaning her face on Pandu's back
"No deck, brother just heard the sound of this motorcycle engine and crickets" denied Pandu with a smile so that the girl behind him was not afraid.
After arriving at the village road, Pandu added a little speed to his motorbike with his sharp eyes that kept glancing at the rearview mirror.
"Currently, they can only follow in the dark. Who are they I'll look at later" Inner Pandu saw the cyclists stopped on the spot and did not enter the village.
After traveling for 20 minutes from the hill, now Pandu and Viara have arrived in front of the Viara official house
"Well, now come in and rest well" said Pandu softly
"Dad bang, thank you for coming home" said Viara smiling
"Together the deck, directly sleeping well deck, it is not good if women sleep last night" Pandu said again
"Dad ready bang, adek enter first yah assalamu'alaikum" said Viara
"Walaikumsalam" the smiling guide looked at Viara who was walking into the house
"I'll protect you because you're my heart's chosen woman. Never be afraid or cry when you are with me at all times. You are my strength, you are my spirit. As long as you are by my side, I will guard and protect you with all my heart even though life is the bet"
