At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 54. Allow Me to Be Happy
The next morning, Viara woke up with very puffy and swollen eyes. Viara stepped her foot into the bath to wash herself and took the ablution water. After finishing the morning prayer, Viara tidied up her prayer equipment and immediately got ready for school even though her tears were still faithfully flowing on her cheeks
"You must be strong Viara, must be. No matter how painful these feelings may be, your duties and obligations must remain. You have to be passionate and stay professional, not because one person you ignore all the kids waiting for you at school. Don't cry, don't be fragile and keep moving forward. Don't you want to be happy for the rest of your life and your last days? Then smile. Happiness does not have to be with a companion, but happiness can be created if we are grateful for what we have. Have you not been surrounded by people who love you? Your family loves you so much, your sincere friends accompany you, and the affection of the children who always welcome you with their happy smiles in front of the school gates. Wipe away those tears, for you are enough to cry. Now is your time to smile and spend the rest of your life with the people who love you before you go away for good" Viara looked at herself in the mirror while wiping away her tears
Ila who had just entered the room stepped her feet closer to Viara who was wiping her tears in front of the mirror
"Viara, are you sure you're going to school today?" Ask Ila worried
"I'm okay Ila. Duty is duty, and I must remain professional in my duty. Now I go first yah" said Viara smilingly trying to convince Ila
"Yaudah Be careful well Viara" Viara nodded and walked out of the house again.
While opening the front door of the house, Viara was stunned to see Pandu leaning on her motor while looking at her
"Adek" called Pandu with a sad look
Brak!!
Viara then beat the door of the house so hard that her friends who were asleep were shocked
"Astaghfirullah, what's wrong?" Ask Viara's friends holding their chests
"Sir, please listen to my brother first deck" Pandu's pinta banged on the door of the house.
"Go away, don't bother me!!" Viara insisted from behind the door.
Viara wiped away her tears and walked straight out of the house through the back door
"I'm sorry, I don't want to cry anymore to see you" muttered Viara walking briskly down the street towards school.
The guide who saw Viara at the end of the road immediately rode his motorbike and caught up with Viara who was away and walking very fast. Pandu thought about his bike and ran after Viara
"Dek, listen to brother first deck, don't be like this" Pinta Pandu held Viara's hand until Viara stopped on the spot
"Go away, don't bother me. I don't want to see you" Viara said, staring ahead.
Viara looked at her hand which Pandu held and instantly removed her rough hand from Pandu's grasp
"Listen to my dear brother, brother is not what you think" said Pandu hugging Viara from behind.
Viara releases Pandu's embrace from her body and returns to run away from Pandu
"Sir, listen to the brother of the deck, brother is not what you think!!!!" Shouted the unheeded Pandu by Viara.
Viara kept running while shedding tears unwilling to look back where Pandu kept calling her name
"I'm sorry, I'm also tormented to keep avoiding you like this, but my heart is already so broken as to turn back. Please let me be happy" said Viara, continuing to run

Arriving at school, Viara controls her wheezing breath and wipes away the tears in the corner of her eyes
"Hopefully today is fine and there is not the slightest obstacle when I teach" muttered Viara standing before the door of the class she was going to teach
Viara stepped into the 2nd grade and greeted her protege who was so happy to see her. Viara smiled her smile and forgot all her heartache when she saw her enthusiastic students and answered the questions she gave on the board. Viara thought it was okay that the goal of her love was not achieved, the important goal of making children like math lessons was now starting to materialize
"Mom, the bread you drew on the board can't you eat?" the innocent question of the little girl who was Viara's student
"Can't love, it's just a picture" all the kids laughed at the little girl's face.
Viara stroked the top of the little girl's head and handed her a loaf of bread in her hand. The little girl sparkled and thanked her teacher
"Thank you, pretty teacher" he smiled
"Beloved together" Viara replied gently rubbing the top of the little girl's head
"Mom, only Lilies are given bread, and we want to go!" The words of the son were called by his friends
"Lili has done a lot of things on the board properly, so this is a gift for her" Viara smiled and immediately wrote something on the board
"Hayoo who wants to do, later the prize is the same as Lili and can go out playing games" exclaimed Viara with a black marker in her hand
All the children were enthusiastic and raised their hands
"I'm Mom!!"
Viara smiled happily and let her students answer every question she wrote on the board.
After all the students can do the part on the board, Viara immediately gave all the bread he bought to the students. Viara also gave it to her students who had not been right in doing the matter on the board
"Yeah!!! Thank you teacher" exclaimed the children hugging Viara and eating their bread voraciously together
Viara smiled and laughed loudly at the words of one of his students who was very innocent in asking
"Hahha is not so dear, your mother deliberately did it so that you are diligent in learning.......... "

Pandu is still faithfully waiting for Viara's return in front of the school gate. Her heart was not calm when Viara did not want to hear it, her heart was also very sick to be in this kind of position. Wanting to scream as much as possible to vent the feeling in the heart that is so painful, but only tears can be released to accept the reality that exists
"I'm sorry brother dek, brother is not what you think" said Pandu staring at the classroom nanar ahead
Bruks.....
Pandu turned his head to the side and immediately ran over to the meatball seller's mother who fell with her cart on the side of the road. The mother was crying because all her sales were spilling and scattering on the ground
"O Lord hix..." The mother wept and collected all her sales scattered on the ground
"Don't ma'am, it's all dirty" prevent Pandu helping the mother to stand up
"But son, none of my sales have been sold yet. I have no more money for sales capital and repair this cart hiks... Let the mother take it only for the wedge of the mother's stomach and the mother's child today hiks.
"Astaghfirullah mother!!! What's going on?" Shouts of Santi running hugging his crying mother in the arms of Pandu
"Son, the new mother is doomed. Sales we spilled all nak hiks.. Our meatballs have not been sold yet" said the mother crying profusely while hugging her daughter. Santi cried and returned his mother's embrace
Pandu immediately cleaned up the mess and sat beside the cart to repair Santi's mother's wagon which suffered damage to the bottom and also the wheels
"Mom, do you have any tools?" Ask Pandu while holding the wheel of the wagon
"There's a Bang, I'll take it for a minute" said Santi wiping his tears and taking the utensils from his house not far from the front of the school. After taking the tools, Santi again ran to the front of the school and immediately gave the toolbox he held to the guide.
Pandu received the toolbox Santi gave him and began to repair the bottom of the cart. Santi also helped Pandu to repair the cart and clean up the remaining meatballs that had been spilled on the street.
When Pandu was repairing the wheel of the cart, Pandu immediately stopped his activities and walked up to his mother Santi who was crying as much as he could on the side of the road
"Mother calm well, I have a little sustenance. Hopefully it can help mom to resell" said Pandu handed over 8 pieces of money a hundred thousand to her mother Santi
"But son, maybe you too..."
"No ma'am, mom needs more than me. Accepted well ma'am, my father once said if it is not good to refuse sustenance" said Pandu softly.
the mother shed tears receiving Pandu's money and hugged Pandu
"Thank you son, thank you very much" said the mother crying happily on the shoulder of Pandu.
Santi also shed tears, only to see the kindness of the man in front of him
"Dad mom both. Now we fix mom's wagon together yuk" the mother smiled and immediately helped Pandu to fix the wagon.
Viara stood in front of the gate observing Pandu's actions just now. Instantly a thin smile was painted on his lips, but his tears reverted back to remembering the incident that hurt his heart. Viara threw her face to the side as her gaze collided with Pandu's gaze
"Excuse me brother deck" muttered Pandu staring at Viara who could still be heard by Santi.
Santi followed the direction of Pandu who continued to look at Viara who had moved away home with her friends. Pandu sighed harshly and went back to fixing the wagon after Viara was no longer visible at the end of the road. Santi fell silent as he looked at the listless face of Pandu beside him
"I'm sorry Bang, because I was also involved in the trap Kiara had prepared for you. Forgive me for my actions you also suffered and hated by your lover. I understand your pain and suffering. And I promise to make amends. I promise I'll explain everything to your lover regarding the true story. Thank you for putting a smile back on my mother's face. I'll do the same with you, Bang"
