At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 4. Fear Viara

"Son, Tasya called earlier, and he said there will be a lecture tonight at the mushala. You want to go there, son?" Ask grandma after dinner

"Daddy Grandpa, Viara will go there" Viara said as she held back the spinning sensation in her head

"Are you sure, son, your face is very pale. Are you sick, baby?" Ask grandma lula worried

"No grandma, maybe Viara's just tired. But after Viara rested a little, Viara must be better" said Viara trying to smile at her grandmother

"Judah take a short break well son, if you want to go to that recitation, don't forget to take medicine"

"Daddy ready, Viara said to the room first yah nek" Grandma lula smiled as she nodded her head at her only granddaughter

"Sorry Viara yah nek, Viara can not tell Viara's problem to all of you. But may Viara's body be fine" Viara murmured past to her room

Drr... Drrt..

Viara who had just finished taking her medicine immediately took her phone and answered a video call from her mother

"Assalamu'alaikum Mother, father. You healthy?" Viara asked, looking at the faces of her parents

"Walaikumsalam son, Iyah we are healthy. How are you all boys?" Ask Hana across there

"Thank God we are all healthy" Mother"

"But son, how is the face of this beautiful father's daughter pale?" Vian asked to see his daughter's face that looked very pale even from the phone screen

"Viara is fine dad, Viara is just a little tired to be like this" said Viara again lying

"Don't work too much and get enough rest well son, Mother does not want your child to get sick. Later granny is sad, who will take care of grandma"

"Hehe Iyah mother, you are calm. Mother same father do not need to think of grandma, did Viara ever promise the same mother to take care of grandmother as long as Viara is here" said Viara with a smile

"Dear dear, we believe in you" said Hana smiling sweetly at her daughter

"Honey, I heard in the village there was an attack. If the attack occurs again immediately take shelter in a safe place and keep grandma always well. Father has ordered the father's forces there to protect you and the villagers" Vian explained

"Dad ready dad" Viara replied

"By the way I didn't come here well, Viara misses my father and mother" said Viara memelas

"I'm sorry you're the same dear mother who has not been able to visit you in the village, but I promise you that after the father's business here is done, I will take the time to meet you in the village"

"Pad's promise" said Viara wiped her tears

"Dad dear father promise. Did you ever break your promise to your own daughter"

"Hehhe never father. has been father mother's father, already Adzan isya here. Viara wants to go to mushala because after praying there is a joint study there"

"Alright baby, don't forget the message of father and mother"

"Each commander. Assalamu'alaikum my dear father's mother"

"Dear Walaikumsalam" Viara smiles at her parents and disconnects her video

Lula's grandmother who had heard Viara's conversation with her parents smiled and slowly closed the door to Viara's room

"You are great parents"

After praying together, the pilgrims have not left the place because they will follow the study at the mushala. Not long after, the curtain was opened and showed the ustad who began to speak a little.

"Since tonight is Friday night, we will read Surah Al-kahf together. For whoever reads the letter of Al-Kahfi on Friday, he will be shone in the light between the two Fridays"

"ayo deck Viara, please go forward" orders sir ustad friendly. Viara nodded and immediately went forward to study.

Viara who will lead the study began chanting verses from Surah Al-kahf. His voice was so melodious that everyone who attended the study felt calm and comfortable reading the sacred verses. Andra was stunned to let the beautiful chant gently touch her sense of hearing. After Viara finished reading all the verses of Al-kahf's letter, Andra unceasingly stared in admiration at Viara while smiling

After the study was completed, Tasya and Viara walked home to be followed by several soldiers behind them including Andra

"Wah Viara, your voice was very melodious earlier. Where you learn to teach, I also want to chant the verses of the Koran semerdu earlier" said Tasya sparkling

"I didn't study at TPQ or anything like Tasya"

"So where did you learn?" Tanya Tasya was curious

"I learned from my father. Ever since I was a child, when my father finished praying, I always came and sat beside him, because at that time my father chanted the holy verses that won my heart. I often follow my father to teach and thank God I can chant the holy verses just like my father" said Viara smiling considering his father. For Viara his father was the greatest man and first love for a princess. His father was very tender and never scolded or abused his family. That is why Viara always prayed that later her life companion will also be as great and as good as her father

The soldiers who heard Viara's words of mangosteen while continuing to walk behind him

"It turns out that Uncle Vian was really great"

"Tasya, he is both a man and a soldier of my pride.I am proud to be his son" said Viara steady

The soldiers raised their smiles and began to discuss behind Viara who was some distance away from them

"It turns out you're right bang, she's Danyon's daughter"

"Truly the ideal woman, whoever will be Viara's life companion, surely she is very lucky to have a woman as great as Viara" exclaimed Pandu observing Viara's back in front of him

"Stupid in the hands of God, although the age is far different, but if God says it is your soul mate, then you will still be united" said Andra steady who is taken by his friends. Before entering the barracks, Andra stopped her steps and turned to stare at Viara's back from afar

"The unique girl. May you be my companion in life"

After returning home from the mushala, Viara immediately picked the medicinal plants she planted in the backyard of the house. After washing the leaves of the medicine, Viara began to struggle with hitchhiking and pestle while continuing to read the guidebook in front of her

"According to this book, drugs like this can be used for the first treatment when exposed to toxins. The benefits are quite a lot for the body even though the basic ingredients of plants like this" murmured Viara while continuing to pound the medicinal plants.

"It's been 11 p.m., but there's been a commotion outside well" murmured Viara who was like hearing a noise not far from her house

"Ahh noah, maybe it's the residents who patrol the night" muttered Viara back pounding the medicinal plants. Viara who returned feeling short of breath immediately smelled the aroma of the medicine she made. Not long after, Viara's breath returned to regular even though sweat soaked her forehead

"It turns out this drug is powerful as well, so do not need to take medicine if you can still use herbal remedies like this" murmured Viara pleased with the efficacy of the drug

"Wait, what's that commotion?" muttered Viara worried because of the sound of the commotion getting bigger and closer

Boooooom

"GRANNY!!!!" Viara shouted in fear after hearing a loud enough explosion

"Viara you're okay baby, come with grandma to grandma's room" said the grandmother worried because she heard her granddaughter's scream and the explosion just now

Lula's grandmother opened the book in her bedroom closet and the closet was then open revealing the secret room inside

"Let's go in, we're safe here" said grandma Lula and then closed the closet-shaped door again after her granddaughter entered

"Grandma, what's going on outside?" Ask Viara in fear

"There was a commotion outside dear, the villagers next door started attacking our village"

Boooooom

"Grandmother Viara was afraid of hiks.." - Shout Viara was frightened after hearing a loud enough explosion again. Lula's grandmother continued to hold Viara tightly and accompanied by her mother who was also hiding in the secret room

"How come this is Grandma, there are some rebels in front of the house" said Mbak lena frightened

"Calm down, don't worry. We'll be fine" said grandma Lula hugging the two

Dooor...

Dooor....

Dooor...

"Clearned" lula's grandmother's orders were followed by lena and Viara who were scared to death.

Dooor...

Dooor..

Dooor..

Back there were gunshots in the courtyard of grandma Lula's house so Viara closed her mouth so that the sound of her crying was not heard

"Dad Viara was afraid" Viara recalled her father because all this time her father had always been there and protected her in times of precariousness. But now it's a lot different. His father is not here to protect him. Only her grandmother and mbak lena who hugged her tightly while down

Dooor....

Dooors

Dooors

Aarrhhggg

Ringis hurts someone next to grandma lula's house. Not long after, the sound of gunfire and commotion outside the house was no longer heard

"Grandmother is it safe outside?" Viara asked worriedly

"Dad, it seems like everything is safe. But we need to stay alert"

"Who's hurt grandma, granny was not the sound of someone's ringing earlier?" Ask Viara

"No kid, grandma just heard the gunshots"

"Viara came out firstwell grandma, who knows there's someone injured outside"

"Dear baby, be careful. If you listen to the commotion again, immediately go inside well and bring this knife just in case"

"Father Grandma" Viara replied taking the knife from her grandmother's grasp. With a bismillah speech, Viara set her foot looking for the source of the ringing sound.After opening the back door of the house, Viara was stunned to see from a slightly dark direction there was someone lying there. Viara continued her steps to approach the person and was surprised to see the weakly lying person in front of her

"Astaghfirullah brother!!!!!"

Seriate....
