At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 40. The HUT Enlivening Competition Village S

Arriving in the field adjacent to the village hall, Viara and Andra split directions to head to their respective workplaces. Andra stepped foot opposite Viara following her personnel on guard, while Viara headed to her tent to join her friends who were decorating their dishes excitedly

"Hey, you guys, how are you still on guard? isn't the men's Voly match about to start huh?" Ask Andra to her staff

"We're still waiting for the lomba to start bang. The match will take place after the cooking event of the mothers is over. So while the mothers' event is still going on, we busy ourselves with a vigil here" said Bang Rama explained

"Danru's father, we are busy with standing guard now so that when the match starts later, it is the turn of the police who stand guard here" continued Bang Bayu

"ohh well, how many teams do we have for the Voly game?" Ask Andra back

"There are two teams bang, one team bang Jaya (Wolf team) and the other team bang Pandu (Jaguar Team). Among the three of us brother is in his team bang Jaya, while bang Rama is in his team bang Pandu" said Bang Bayu explained

"Where are you on the team bang?" Ask Andra back

"I don't follow the bang, I want to be a super big audience in the match area" said Bang Bayu while crying. Bang Bayu is indeed one of the members who are very chatty and super cheerful among all Andra personnel, which is why Bang Bayu always managed to spread laughter and jokes at their guard post

"Hahah Basis!!!" Bang Rama said that he was shaking his head at the behavior of his colleague

"Haha, keep Bang. Then you guys keep watching well, I'll check the condition of the Volleyball field first" Pamit Andra

"Each Commander" answered the two simultaneously. Andra nodded her head and passed towards the Volleyball field

While in the tent of Viara's group, all the fellow teachers who were arranging cakes on the table exclaimed in excitement at the sight of Viara who had just arrived

"Viara, look, is it pretty what we make?" Tanya Syifa was happy. Viara turned to look at the neatly arranged brownies on the table and nodded her head with a smile.

Viara's eyes sparkled perfectly to see the beauty of the brownie decoration that read 50th HUT Village S above it and combined with chocolate cream as a base that covers all sides of the brownies. Cream decorations on the edges of brownies combined with strawberries and cherries further add to the beauty of the brownies

"Dad, it's so pretty" said Viara sparkling happily

"Dad, may our menu this one win" cried Syifa sparkling

"Dad is right, but even though our menu did not win this race, at least we have worked together and helped each other to create it" said Ms Elly

"From this race win or lose it is definitely there. But behind this race we do not think too much about victory, because what we only want is cooperation and cohesiveness of our fellow men" continued Ila agreed with the words of Miss Elly.

Viara offended her smile and hugged her comrades

"Whatever happens, we remain a team" Viara said.

After a while, a voice sounded from the front of the village hall calling for each group of mothers to bring their dish menu forward to be assessed. Viara's friends began to choose the most beautiful brownies among the four brownies and took her forward with other groups after mutual agreement in choosing brownies.

Now in front of the table in the village hall has presented various types of food that are different but with one basic ingredient. Who will judge this one cooking competition is the village head, the village head and the Indigenous chairman.

When Viara looked to her left and right side, it was seen that all the participants in each group felt very tense and nervous when their food was tasted by the jury in front of them. When Viara turned to look at her friends, Viara immediately offended her smile seeing the absence of fear or tension from the faces of her colleagues when their homemade cassava brownies had been tasted

After tasting all the dishes on the table, the village head turned to discuss with his wife (the village chief's mother) and the traditional leader. After discussing to determine the winner of the cooking competition, Mr. Village Chief stood up from his seat with a mic in his hand

"I am happy to see the cooperation and spirit of mothers in carrying out this race. The taste of the food is very diverse and proves the creativity of all mothers deserves a thumbs up. In my hands there are three winners. And the unlucky ones, don't get discouraged. Keep trying harder so that the results are better" said Mr. Village Chief

"The third champion was won by the nursing team with cassava ball dishes, the second champion was won by RT mother group with Cassava Layer dishes. And for the first champion won by........" The Village Chief deliberately delayed his remark to observe the expressions of the participants

"May we win friends" said Syifa tensely taken by her colleagues. The five teachers were holding hands with their palms covered in sweat

" Champion One Cooking Competition between groups of mothers to enliven the HUT to 50 Village S falls to..... Teacher Group SD 1 with a special dish in the form of cassava brownies "excited Mr. Village Chief with Bu Village Head

"Yeah..... Alhamdulillah" exclaimed the fellow teachers Viara jumped up in excitement and hugged each other.

"Come for the winners, crossed to take the prize" exclaimed MC. Representing all five of her teammates, Viara came to the top with representatives from all three groups of cooking match champions at the time

Arriving on stage, Viara immediately received the prize winner of the race including Champion one received several sets of cooking equipment and cash of around six million rupiah, including one winner, The second champion received a set of pots and cash of about three million rupiah, and the third champion received a set of pots with cash of about one million rupiah.

After receiving the gift and doing a photo together, Viara and her colleagues began to lift their gifts and share them in a draw with her friends

"Friends, this equipment we keep in our tents first, it is better now we ask for a men's Volleyball match that will start soon. I heard our school's men's teacher team played the opening game against SD Negeri 2" Ila advised her friends

"Really, then let's go there, but before that we save this equipment in our tent first" Invite Viara called by his colleagues. After storing their reward equipment in the tent, the six teachers stepped together into the Volleyball field where the match would be taking place right now.

After the opening event by the village head, now the contestants have entered two match fields. Viara who was supporting the team from her school was stunned to observe Andra and her colleagues who were preparing to enter the field. Viara smiled and passed by Andra before the team named wolf entered the match area

"Abangs... Brother's running the race too?" Viara asked who was standing right beside Andra

"Devil, brother also wants to be involved in enlivening the HUT of this village. Pray brother may brother win well" rich Andra softly while rubbing Viara's cheek

"Daddy dear brother, spirit well. Now adek support fellow teachers adej who compete in the field next door.after that adek will come here and support brother" exclaimed Viara enthusiastically

"okay baby, brother wait for your support well" Andra said to Viara with a smile.

After Andra entered the field of play with her team, Viara passed to the field next door to see and support her fellow teachers in the ongoing match. Today the weather is very cloudy so the spectators and players will not be overheated by direct sunlight

"Yeay Team Bang Andra entered the Final" exclaimed Viara in excitement

"Syifa, Ila let's go to the field next to yuk, there the championship game will take place. Fellow teachers who compete to win the third champion so that other teacher friends who will support them" Invite Viara exclaims with excitement

"Come on" the two replied in unison and started to step foot following Viara who pulled their hands.

"Now we have reached the top of the game. Who will take home the men's volleyball cup this afternoon? instead of wondering let's welcome our two future champions!!!!!!" The MCs received a standing ovation from the audience

"Here we welcome our team of would-be champions, Team Wolf!!" exclaim MC invited the Wolf team to enter the match area. Viara smiled happily at Andra who was walking into the field with her teammates

"Spiritual bang!!!" viara exclaimed from the sidelines. Andra nodded and showed her thumb to Viara with a smile

"Ciee, glimpsed by her boyfriend tuh" Syifa's tease gets a laugh from her friends

"huhah, but by the way who is the team that will compete in the Final championship today?" Viara said wondering

"The team that will be against the Wolf Team is a great team Viara, that team is also my favorite team" Ila exclaimed

"Favorite Team.." said Viara was cut off because the MC was again calling for something.

"Let's welcome our championship team as well. Great team with potential players who managed to achieve the highest score in the previous game. Let's welcome Team Jaguar...." The MCs said it again invited boisterous than the audience.

"Team Jaguar? isn't it.." said Viara cut off because Ila pulled her hand while exclaiming with excitement.

"Daddy Viara, Jaguar team. The team where the Rama bang includes its members.look at them in front there Viara" exclaimed Ila saw the Jaguar Team preparing to enter the match area.

Viara turned her gaze forward, immediately Viara was silent staring at the two Jaguar teams who walked in followed by the members behind.

"Bang Pandu.." muttered Viara staring at Pandu who was walking with Bang Rama entering the match area.

"Oh, who would I be sitting on this" muttered Viara anxiously. Viara slightly breathed a sigh of relief as Pandu had yet to notice her presence

"I'd better go me and not support any team, before I get confused later. I better go now and come back after the winner is determined" muttered Viara walking backwards from beside Ila. Ila who knew if Viara was going to leave now reflexes pulled her hand and prevented her from leaving

"Where are you going Viara? aren't you the one who made us come here? then why did you leave?" Ask Ila

"a. I. I want to grab something left behind" Viara said in denial. Ila who knows if Viara tries to avoid keeping Viara's hand to stay beside her

"Spirit Bang!!! jaguar team spirit" Shouted Ila cheered from the sidelines. All the members of the Jaguar team turned to look at Ila and gave her thumbs at the same time, but Viara's heart was racing when her gaze accidentally collided with one of the Jaguar team personnel

Degs...

Viara turned to look at the Wolf team and returned the smile of the man she loved so much to her. Viara took a deep breath and exhaled her breath slowly. Viara puffed her head and turned to look at one of the Jaguar Team personnel who was also staring at her. Viara pointed her fist while smiling sweetly at the man

"The spirit of the bang" inner Viara while smiling sweetly at Pandu. Pandu nodded his head at Viara with a smile and returned to focus with the match

the match took place, while all the spectators beside him including Ila who encouraged her Team of choice, instead Viara just fell silent while observing the match

"Hey Viara, why silence?" Tanya Ila glanced at Viara beside her and returned to her attention to the ongoing match

"No Ila, I was just seriously watching the match, so be quiet" Viara said with a smile. Viara deliberately did not issue the peda support of the two teams that were competing because Viara did not want to disappoint the hearts of two men who loved her so much by taking the side of one of them alone. So Viara preferred to be quiet so that no one would smile bitterly or get hurt

"You were the spirit of ajakin I came here. Turn is here, why are you talking to Viara? let's support one team dong. after all the two teams are our friends, right?" ila said to the girl who was still silent beside her

Viara who will answer Ila's question is unaware of the existence of a hard volleyball directed at her. Realizing that, Pandu ran to the side and held the ball with his forearm so that the ball did not hit Viara. Because the blow that was blocked was very hard causing a little pain in the hands of Pandu. But when he saw the anxious face of the woman he loved who seemed to understand with his pain made Pandu show his smile as if saying to the woman I was fine so that the woman did not have to worry about him

Viara was again stunned with the look on her face that was anxious to see the actions of Pandu who had returned to protect her just now

"Thank you for always being so quick to protect me at all times. Thank you very much Pandu" Viara said in her heart while smiling sweetly at Pandu

"Let's dong Viara, support one of the teams that compete in front of us to make it exciting to know" Pinta Ila shook Viara's hand

"Dad ya" Viara exhaled slowly

"Come brother spirit, come brother... brother!!!" viara exclaimed from the sidelines

"btw is whose brother is it? why not mention his name anyway.is not all of our team members call brother, so whose brother do you mean Viara?" Ila asked confusedly with Viara's spirit speech

"support the meatball brother" said Syifa who stood to the right of Ila

"nah Iyah, the meatball brother. I bought meatballs first well guys, bye" exclaimed Viara immediately running before Ila held her hand again

"Hey Viara!!! Viara" call Ila that Viara doesn't ignore. Viara continued running into their tent without heeding Ila's call

"I know the reason you dodged Viara" Ila muttered looking at Viara's back that was getting further away. Ila felt and turned to staring at the match in front of her

"Later after the winner is announced, I will return to that place. I don't want to make people sad for taking one side. But hopefully the result of this match is satisfactory"

Seriate......
