At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 73. Don't Look for me anymore
7 Days later
"Bang, today you have to go back to the Battalion well" said Ila approached Bang Rama who put the items in the truck with his colleagues
"Dad deck, you have to go back there. But it's good to see your brother again?" Bang Rama asked Ila with a smile
"Dad bang, but later adek will miss the same brother again" lirih Ila hugged bang Rama
"Dear baby, you will miss you too. I'll stay 2 months on duty here. After the task is done, then brother will come to pick you up. We will immediately apply for marriage in the Battalion later" said bang Rama wipe tears on Ila's cheek
"Dad Bang" Ila wiped her tears and smiled sweetly at her lover.
Bang Rama glanced at Pandu who had entered the truck and smiled bitterly because Pandu did not want to see Viara one last time before they left. During this time Ila and Viara did not know if Pandu or often called Bang Praditya was here, because Pandu rarely appeared in front of both and Pandu also often wore a mask and hat, he said, his face is so difficult to recognize
"Dek, where's Viara? How come it's not here?" Rama asked in a slightly bigger voice so Pandu could hear him.
Hearing the sound of Rama bang, Pandu turned around and looked at the two people back there
"Viara is in the house bang, it has been 7 days he did not come out because he was not feeling well anymore he said. Viara hasn't taught in the last 7 days. All because the school was closed after the announcement of raising the class bang" said Ila explained
"May he recover quickly. Adek must also keep Viara well, if there is no adek, who will help him to stay strong. I'm sure, soon Viara will definitely be happy and will never experience pain again" said Bang Rama, embraced by Ila with a smile
"Jaudah dear, brother go first well" said Bang Rama stroked the top of Ila's head
"Wait for Bang Rama!!" Bang Rama stopped his steps and turned to look at Viara who called out to him.
Likewise with Pandu and Ila who turned to look at Viara back there
"Wait a minute bang" Pinta Viara. With her footsteps getting slower and slower, Viara strenuously walked up to Bang Rama with a smile that she raised. Bang Rama and Ila stared at Viara who looked very chaotic, even under his eyes had blackened and as a sign if he always dropped his tears. Ila shed tears as she understood the meaning behind the smile that Viara was emitting right now. The weak body continued to smile and stepped limped closer to the two
"Bang Rama, if you meet the Pandu bang in the Battalion, please give this to him well!!" Pinta Viara handed over a heart-shaped box in the hand of Rama bang with her face constantly smiling
"Dad deck, if you meet bang Pandu, brother will give this for him" replied Bang Rama smiling sweetly at Viara
"Thank you bang, please tell him too, if someday, when the real truth has reached his ears, please tell him not to come back or look for me again. I don't want to see him cry because of me anymore, because maybe then, I'm no longer in this world" Viara said like a bolt of lightning in the morning
"What did you say Viara? You can't say that" Ila hugged Viara
"Why do you say like that deck, what do you mean?" Gumam Pandu kept staring at Viara
"Dad Ila, ever since she left, my life seems to have no more spirit. I stood strong in front of you, but my heart was so broken that I could no longer hold it all. Don't think negatively well, living all that torments my inner self doesn't mean I'm going to end my life because it's not strong anymore. I will live the rest of my life with the faith that is still in my heart. Bang Pandu hated me so much that he did not turn around and meet me, and I accepted all his insults to me. Maybe the real truth will be revealed, when this body has no life anymore" said Slow Viara trying to smile and return Ila's embrace to him.
Viara showed a smile she wrote to her two best friends and stepped her feet towards her service home.
When she stepped up, Viara turned her body and looked at a masked soldier in the truck who was also staring at her
"I've been watching over me when I was unconscious 8 days ago good soldiers. If you were my Panduku, my heart would come back to life and be happy to see you back with me here" Viara muttered with a sweet smile at the soldier while the soldier remained silent as he continued to look at her
Viara turned her body and returned to her feet towards the house
"Don't cry me when you don't find me in this world anymore"

At the coffee shop in front of the Battalion
"Here, Viara gave this to you" said Bang Rama handing Viara's gift box to Pandu.
Pandu simply fell silent and continued to stare at the heart-shaped box Viara gave him
"Why Pandu? Why do you hate Viara so much? Is the hatred so great on him that you forget your struggle to get his heart first? Why don't you wave your hand and say see you to her? Why don't you listen to him Pandu!! Why?" Ask Bang Rama not to think about this friend
"I don't want to talk about Rama" Pandu said flatly
"It turns out, your heart is already so tightly sealed with hatred that you can no longer understand Viara. Just think again Pandu, is Viara now happy because you hate her? Is he laughing now seeing you no longer beside him? Precisely now he is very destroyed Pandu, he is like a body without life. The days he spent were accompanied by tears and loneliness at all times. Then tell me where was his mistake so you hated him? Was he wrong for being so in love with you that he was hurt by his own love? Is he wrong for always trying to love you wholeheartedly even though it is very difficult for him to open his heart to new people? Tell me where was his mistake so you punished him this cruel? Tell me where's the mistake so you say something that's not about a woman as good as her?" Tanya Bang Rama wiggled Pandu's shoulder.
Pandu remained silent listening to every question that Bang Rama kept throwing at him
"The Jawab I Scout!!" Bang Rama's
"Alright if that's what you want Pandu. You would rather hold your ego than your love. You said Viara was a liar, right? But I see you're the liar. Your mouth does say that you hate the woman a lot, but your eyes can't lie. In your eyes, there is still great love for the girl, but your mind is dismissed if you still love Viara. You may say bad things to the girl, but your heart still admires and expects her presence. I just hope, you won't regret when Viara's heart is no longer for you. I just want you not to cry over these days in the future" said Bang Rama passed leaving Pandu alone
"What did Bang Rama say was true? Am I so selfish that I forget my love for that woman? Did I hate that woman so much that I hurt her so badly? Did I go the wrong way?" muttered Pandu stared at the nanar on the red box in his hand.
Inadvertently a clear circle escaped his eyes considering the last time he met Viara 2 days ago. The beautiful girl looked so thin and messy, as if she was being punished for her sincere and great love for him. Pandu was eager to embrace the fragile body, but every time he saw the woman's face Pandu again remembered the incident 2 months ago which re-ignited the fire of his anger.
"I just want you to be with me Viara, not with the others. I used to feel broken, but ever since I found you, my heart has opened up again to love someone again. But why would you hug someone right in front of me Viara? Whether my warm embrace and affection for you all this time is not enough for you" muttered Pandu staring at the box given by Viara with a sad look
"Why are you alone here?" The reflex guide hid Viara's gift box beside her as she looked at Tara who was walking and sitting beside her
"I just rest, I'm still tired after working all day" Pandu smiled at Tara
"Yaudah, I'll drive you home. Tomorrow we have to apply for marriage in the office" Tara said gently and embraced Pandu's arm to walk with him. Pandu nodded his head and set his foot beside Tara
"Maybe we're not meant to be with Viara"
_______________
"Maybe this is my destiny. Fate separates you from me so you can be with a woman who is much healthier than me. A very healthy woman who can accompany you until you get old and die with her. The woman who is always with you at all times, different from me who will soon be gone forever. Destiny always loves you so much that you don't want to cry because of my passing, she wants you to be happy, even though she doesn't have to be with me. But it's okay if I can't have you, because I will continue to love you until I die, even after" Viara murmured hugging a picture of Pandu with her.
Viara put the photo back in her closet and rushed to take a shower and made her way to school
"How's Viara? It can still be strong today, right?" Viara muttered looking at her reflection in front of the mirror. Viara immediately packed her bag and walked out of her boarding house with Ila to the school where she taught
"Are you sure you want to go to school today, Viara? Your face still looks pale" Ila said worriedly
"My body is already lightened to Ila, so just calm down. I want to spend the rest of my time teaching my students who are not enough in 2 months I will part with them all. So I have to be excited" said Viara smiling and returning the greetings of the citizens to her
"I'm with you Viara!!" Ila clasped Viara's hand and nodded at her. Viara smiled sweetly at Ila and walked with her hand in hand.

While in the Battalion, Bang Rama who had just come clenched his hands and stared intently at the two people ahead there. Seen in front there Tara has been wearing a green uniform while holding the hand of Pandu preparing for their marriage submission.
Holding back his anger, Bang Rama walked up to the two who were also staring at him
"So, you decided to give up and marry this girl?" Bang Rama asked
"Dad Bang, I have decided if I will marry Tara, only Tara will be my companion, not the others" Pandu replied holding Tara's hand.
Tara smiled sweetly at Pandu and bowed her head to Bang Rama
"Dad Bang, look we'll be filing for our wedding in a moment" Tara said, showing the map with the file in her hand
"Whatever you want to do, I don't care" Ketus Bang Rama flat and walked into the office first.
Before opening the door, Bang Rama turned her body and looked at the two with a gaze full of anger
"May you be happy over the suffering of others" Bang Rama firmly pressed every sentence and passed into the office. Tara controlled her breathing trying to shake off her shock and re-embraced Pandu's arm
"Don't listen to me, baby. Let's get inside right away" Tara said softly.
Pandu releases Tara's arms around her arms and walks in first into the office without turning around and saying a word to Tara
"It looks like Viara has until now become the queen of your heart. But take it easy, soon you will only be mine" muttered Tara smiling smirk and walking after Pandu into the office

A few days later
"Finally, after a few days of taking care of the filing file the opportunity to have Pandu more and more wide open for me. Well, despite having to go through the stages that make upset and upset, at least now everything is in order and I just wait for the next day. It has been decided if 1 more month of our engagement will be held. A few days after the engagement, then I will marry Pandu and Pandu will be mine completely" Tara exclaimed happily as she hugged her bolster pillow.
Tara continued to turn her body around and laughed happily considering that she would soon get what she deserved to be hers
"I have to thank Viara. Were it not for the events of almost 3 months ago, then I would never have walked this free to have Pandu. Thank you Viara, thank you for returning it to me"
