At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 86. Helping Citizens
As the morning sun shone back to light the earth, Viara slowly opened her eyes and turned her smile to look at the shady face of her husband who was sound asleep beside her. His face looked even more handsome as the sunlight that pierced through the cracks of the window exposed his face. Viara fixed Pandu's sleeping position and fixed the blanket that covered her husband's body
"Beautiful dream my dear" Viara rubbed Pandu's forehead and kissed her gently
Viara got out of her bed and drove to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her husband. When Viara was making Pandu's favorite shrimp fried rice, Viara smiled at her smile at the burly hands that hugged her from behind.
"Anything's up hmm?" Viara asked softly
"Dear dear, awakened out of love" Pandu answered, hugging his wife's body and gently shrinking his neck.
Viara let Pandu hug and kiss her neck which made her amused, because Viara felt good with her husband's gentle treatment and never felt disturbed at all
"Let's dear Majesty, now sit sweet well, the food is ready" said Viara guiding Pandu's hand and sat him in the front seat of the dining table. Viara poured her breakfast on her husband's plate and sat down opposite her husband
"Let's eat dear" Viara gently pinta. Pandu nodded his head with a smile and went back to devouring the food that always spoiled his tongue. Viara who was chewing her food revealed her smile and her head bobbing at Pandu who was so greedy eating her food
"Thank God, thank you my dear queen" said Pandu happy after devouring his breakfast
"Together dear Majesty" Viara smiled back and poured a glass of warm water on her husband who directly gulped Pandu up to the toilet
"Oh well deck, how about the first day of adek in the Battalion yesterday. How adek get acquainted with fellow persit and adek members, is there a problem dear?" Ask Pandu
"There is no problem dear, all mothers and adek members are very good and also friendly as well. Some mothers have known before bang, because adek often play around in the Battalion before we married first. The mothers also often play and visit the adek house to meet the mother" Viara explained
"Thank God that there are no obstacles that you experience dear" said Pandu with a sweet smile to his wife
"Dad, dear brother. But adek confused bang, right Adek just joined and became a member of the new soldier's wife, but why has it been called Bu Danki yah bang?" Viara asked confusedly
"Hahah, his wife was the commander of the Company, so he was also called Bu Danki just like the brother who was also called Mr. Danki. Adek is ready to be the mother of Dankinya C Company and Bu Danki diatati brother right?" Ask Pandu
"Adek is always ready to bang" replied Viara smiling sweetly at her husband.
Pandu nodded his head while gently rubbing the top of Viara's head and went back to tell her about her experience during her service in the Battalion.
Drrt..... Drrt.... Drrtts
Pandu stopped his story and immediately answered a post from Danyon
"Halo Assalamu'alaikum commander" said Pandu
(........)
"How much platoon is needed in Company C commander?"
(........)
"Ready, execute the commander"
(..........)
"Ready, Walaikumsalam"
Pandu also disconnected the connection and put his phone on the table
"What did dad say bang?" Ask Viara
"Dad told me that in the village of G there was a disaster last night there deck. Brother and brother troops will socialize there and help residents affected by the disaster" Pandu explained
"How long is the bang?"
"Just one day deck. It's okay if you stay, right?" Ask Pandu a little worried. Viara smiled and hugged her husband
"It's okay bang, my brother did a noble task there. Adek will not be afraid of being left behind by brother for a day, because he knows your heart is only for good, and will always belong to you forever" exclaimed Viara smiling in her husband's chest
"Thank you for understanding brother well dear" said Pandu softly kissed Viara forehead
"Together bang. Come brother must bathe now, later brother is late to the Battalion" said Viara clasped Pandu's hand and walked along with him to their room.
After Pandu is lost behind the bathroom door, Viara steps up to the closet and begins to prepare the uniform and all the attributes that her husband will wear
Not long after, the open bathroom door revealed Pandu who had just finished bathing while wearing a towel that was coiled around his waist. Pandu smiled looking at his wife's red face flashing every time he saw her half-naked body
"Why shame dear, is all this also belongs to adek" sedu Pandu
"Daddy's never even seen it, has he?" continued Pandu increasingly make Viara's cheeks flushed instantly
"Eh, hehe Iyah bang. Now that brother is wearing his clothes well" Viara pinta ran into the bathroom while covering her red face.
Viara leaned her body against the bathroom door while holding back the pounding of her heart that seemed to have just run 10 rounds around the field.
Pandu stifles with laughter at his wife's behavior and begins to put on the uniform and all the gear Viara has prepared. 5 minutes later, Viara comes out of the bathroom and smiles happily at her already well-groomed husband in his uniform. Viara moved her legs towards her husband who was sitting on the side of the bed wearing her shoes
"Here help" said Viara kneeling in front of Pandu and began to tie his shoelaces. After tying her husband's shoelaces, Viara stood up from her position and put a green beret on her head. Pandu smiled his smile at the face of his wife who was so close to him
"I don't think I'm the winner of the deck. I am the one God destined to be your companion. I used to be afraid, this happy day will never come to my life and only be a decoration of my mind. But everything I thought about turned out to be the wrong deck. God allows me to be happy and spend the rest of my life with you. You are the answer of every prayer. You are the most beautiful woman of the great love of God for me. My love for you will never be lost dear" Pandu said in his heart while embracing his wife's waist. Pandu smiled looking at the face of his wife who was wearing a green beret on his head looks very beautiful if it is serious
"Thank you, my dear" cried Pandu after being neat with his uniform and all his attributes
"Beloved together, let's go between the door" Viara asked with a nod of the head by Pandu with a smile
"Abang go first well dear, assalamu'alaikum" said Pandu peeping his wife's forehead
"Walaikumsalam dear brother, be careful well" said Viara greeting Pandu's hand. Pandu nodded his head and immediately passed on his motorbike
"I'll miss you baby" muttered Viara waving her hand at her husband who was already on his bike
___________
Arriving at the Battalion, Pandu headed straight to the hall of Company C to meet all its members who had gathered at his command since 10 minutes ago
"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" said Pandu who stood in front with bang Rama beside him
"Walaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" replied all members of C Company simultaneously
"Today we will socialize to the village of G. I received information from Danyon if there has been a flash flood disaster in the village of G overnight. So it is expected for all the members of platoon 2 and 3 to participate there helping the affected citizens!!" Pandu lantang said
"Ready to do" replied the soldiers simultaneously
"For platoons 1 and 4 continue to perform their duties here. Sertu Rafa, please lead platoon 1 and 4 as long as I serve outside well" Pinta Pandu
"Prepare to do the commander" replied Sertu Rafa loudly
After hearing instructions regarding the points where flash floods occurred from their Danki, all members prepared to head to the location of the Army TNI truck.
After traveling for 60 minutes, 6 trucks of soldiers of the xxx Battalion envoys had reached the disaster site. After the truck was parked neatly, all the members jumped from the truck and immediately participated in helping the affected residents.
Some of them immediately entered the water looking for victims who were still trapped in their homes while the rest immediately helped move and clean some fallen trees that covered the streets. The soldiers continued to step their feet into the flood water which reached the height of an adult.
After evacuating disaster victims trapped inside the house and evacuating them for 4 hours, Pandu and his troops helped residents who were still trying to clear some of the large fallen trees that still blocked the main road and were hit by the roof of the house
"Surge!!!!" Screaming Pandu at his troops who were moving wood from the roof of the house because they realized there were more trees ready to fall on them.
The swift soldiers immediately retreated following the direction of their commander until the fallen tree did not hit them. But their task was again increased because not only one tree was hit by the roof of the house, but one more tree that had just fallen
"Let's gentlemen, we lift this wood together" exclaimed Pandu invites residents to move the wood that overflows the roof of the house together
"1.. 2.3.. The wood can't be lifted sir, we don't have enough power to lift this wood. Looks like there should be a new woodcutter can pack" suggested one of the residents
"Alright sir, I will contact the carpenter to come here. For a while while waiting for the carpenter, we cut the wood a little using the machete well the fathers" Titah Pandu
"Good sir, but don't wait for the carpenter sir, we have some saw machines in the village warehouse" one of the residents suggested
"Alright sir, me and some of my troops are going to the village warehouse to pick up the saw machine" Said Pandu began to step his feet through the flood to the village warehouse which was located quite far from their location followed by some of his personnel.
After arriving at the village warehouse and taking 5 chainsaws in the warehouse, Pandu and several soldiers again broke through the clothes that were as high as their stomachs by carrying the chainsaw. Arriving at the original location, the members started the saw machine and began cutting the wooden rod. Residents helped cut small wooden branches using machetes so as not to block the road.
The guide who helped cut the branch accidentally scratched his arm with a machete that he used to cut the wooden branch
"AWW" ringis Pandu looked at his blood-filled hand. The palanquin instantly closed its scraping wound with its palm preventing the blood from continuing to come out
"Pandu, what's going on?" Bang Rama asked anxiously at the blood that kept flowing in Pandu's hands
"Astaghfirullah bang, let's go there first, there is a medical team" said bang Rama memapah Pandu and take him to the medical team.
"What happened sir?" Asked one of the medical team to see Bang Rama who had a man who looked pale in front of their tent
"This is ma'am, my friend is injured, it looks like he's hit by a machete" Rama explained
"Alright sir, let's lay him down here" said the medical team helped bang Rama to lay Pandu on the gurney.
The medical team immediately carried out the first treatment by cleaning blood from Pandu wounds and giving drugs in Pandu wounds. After administering the red medicine to his wound, the medical team immediately wrapped a bandage covering the wound on Pandu's arm
"How do you feel sir? Is daddy dizzy?" Ask the medical team to see the pale face of Pandu who was holding his head
"Dad mom, a little dizzy" replied Pandu
"This sir, drink well so as not to limp" said the medical personnel gave a can of sterile milk on Pandu. Pandu took a sip of the drink and sat himself down for a while to recover his stamina after losing a lot of blood

In one of the elementary schools in B
After finishing teaching, Viara sat alone in the teacher room while feeling the pounding of her heart beating very fast. Viara began to ponder with a strange premonition that controlled her heart. Viara was afraid something would happen to her husband who was on duty across the street
"What feeling is this? Did something happen to your brother over there?" muttered Viara anxiously but as much as possible Viara brushed off those feelings and continued to think positively about her husband across the street
"Mom in a moment, I still want a little rest" Viara replied trying to show her a smile
"Well Miss Viara, then I say good to go home first" said Ms. Nilna
"Dad mom, please" mom Nilna nodded her head and passed out of the teacher's room
"Hopefully my husband is fine there. Protect him, my Lord"
__________
Feeling the condition of his body was lightened, Pandu came out of the tent of the medical team and followed his troops who were helping the residents
"Bang Pandu, is it okay?" Bang Rama asked anxiously to see Pandu who had returned to help clear the tree branch that covered the road beside him.
"Bang's silence, I don't feel good if I don't help the people" Pandu said while cutting branches
"Nothing Bang, mending brother istrahat aja, surely the citizens understand really"
"Father right Bang, my brother's condition has not fully recovered, let alone my brother lost a lot of blood after being injured earlier" advised bang Rafael worried
"It's okay to get hurt and lose a lot of blood, as long as you don't lose love because you're hurt" Pandu smiled at his two partners
"Hahahh basic!!" Excite the two friends Pandu and again cut the branches with the citizens
"But if there's anything direct you're yah bang"
"Ready to do" replied Pandu loudly. The three returned to focus on helping residents clean the tree.
While cleaning the branches, heavy rain again flushed the location until the residents and other members took shelter in a slightly elevated refugee post. Heavy rain continued to pour until the time before night and stopped all activities of the residents. Even the trees that had previously fallen and been cleaned, are now swept away by the flood water that has returned to overflow.
"How about sir, the location of the village that was not affected by the flood has now been hit by Bajir also sir. Even the water level has reached two meters more" the village chief reported worriedly
"Then move all, evacuate residents trapped on the roofs of their homes and in their homes" Pandu ordered his personnel
"Ready to do" replied all members simultaneously. Pandu and his members began boarding 10 rubber boats prepared by the team and went down to the location despite heavy rain
"There, there are people trapped on the roof of his house" said the village chief who helped
The soldiers continued to paddle, against the water currents and heavy rain to help the victims affected by the disaster on the roof of their homes

On the balcony of her room, Viara stared at the night sky and let the torrential raindrops hit her palm
"Don't tell me yet, maybe you're busy right now" Viara muttered
"May my brother be fine there. Throughout your struggles and noble tasks, my prayers are always with you dear" Viara murmured shut her eyes and offended her smile recalling the sweet smile Pandu flashed in her mind.
After standing for quite a while, Viara closed the balcony door of her room and laid her tired body on her bed
"It's okay there well bang, I miss you"
__________
The next day, heavy rain since yesterday still flushed G village until the village was again submerged by two and a half meters of flooding. Thanks to the swift handling and evacuation of the soldiers, all residents have now been evacuated to safety. The soldiers were so exhausted from evacuating all the residents trapped in their homes, that even the soldiers had not slept since last night. After the rain had subsided, the Pandu army soldiers directly boarded the truck and returned to the city after the replacement soldiers sent by their Battalion had reached the village.
Arriving at the Battalion, the personnel immediately went home to clean themselves and rest their tired bodies.
Viara, who was cooking in the kitchen, smiled and ran to the door when she heard the greetings from her husband
"Assalamu'alaikum adek" said Pandu weakly while smiling at his wife
"Walaikumsalam brother" Viara replied to let her husband in
"Astaghfirullah, brother until soaked like this. Then why is this brother's hand?" Viara asked worriedly to see the bandage that had changed color wrapped around her husband's arm
"It's just a small injury, baby, but brother is okay" said Pandu trying to smile to relieve the fire of Viara's anxiety
"Yaudah brother entered and then took a warm bath well, adek readyin medicine first for brother" Viara ordered back.
Pandu nodded his head with a smile and tried to move his legs towards his room while holding on to the wall because his body felt very weak
Viara ran to the TV room and opened the glass cabinet to pick up the medicine box she had prepared at home. With the first aid box in her hand, Viara returned to her feet quickly following her husband who was in the room.
Arriving at the room, Viara saw no sign of her husband in the room
"Maybe another brother took a bath" murmured Viara trying to calm her so anxious feelings. While waiting for her husband who was in the shower, Viara stepped closer to the closet and prepared clothes for Pandu.
15 Minutes later, as her husband was not coming out and anxiety regained control of her heart, Viara got up from her seat and walked to the bathroom door
Geck..Geck..Geck...
"Abang, is it still a long time ago?" Ask Viara from outside
"Abang" called Viara again but no answer from her husband.
Due to the anxiety that had taken hold of her heart, Viara steadied her heart and slowly opened the bathroom door
Czech....
Viara was stunned to see her husband who was fast asleep while soaking in the bathub. Viara stepped closer to her husband and chuckled, realizing that she was soaking in warm water without wearing anything to cover her body.
Viara controlled her breathing to ease her shock and again stepped closer to Pandu. Viara kissed Pandu's forehead and gently rubbed the shady face of her husband who was asleep
"Honey, let's get up" said Viara gently as she rubbed Pandu's cheek
"Let's wake up baby" said Viara softly.
Pandu slowly opened his eyes and smiled faintly looking at Viara's sweet smiling face at him
"Why sleep here? Later brother can catch a cold if later soak here" said Viara cupped both cheeks Pandu
"Abang tired dear, brother wants to sleep" said weak Pandu with his face that looks very pale
"Bag shower first well, after that just rest in the room" said Viara softly
"Mandiiin yah dek" Pinta Pandu.
Viara was stunned to hear her husband's request just now, but Viara felt unbearable to refuse Pandu's request because she saw his weak body and extremely pale face. Viara gently rubbed the two cheeks of Pandu she cupped and kissed her forehead for a little while
"Yaudah adek bathein yah" said Viara was carried by Pandu who smiled her pale face.
Viara fixed Pandu's head to lie perfectly on the bathtub's backrest and began washing her husband's face and body with warm water. Viara silenced her smile to see the face of Pandu who felt good with the water that his wife washed on his face and body
Viara started pouring liquid soap on her hands and began to weld every inch of her husband's weakly lying body. Viara painstakingly soaped Pandu's body and legs from the ground and pieces of dry foliage stuck to her husband's skin
Deg
"Do I have to touch that gun?" Viara asked worriedly in her heart
"What's the matter, baby?" Tanya Pandu slowly still closed her eyes which felt very heavy to open
"Don't be afraid Viara, he's your husband so everything in his body is yours too. All you do is strengthen your heart, okay Viara? Viara's inner spirit" encouraged herself.
"It's okay baby, we continue to shower again well" said Viara reciprocated a nod of the head by Pandu with a smile
Viara again poured the liquid soap in her hands and with a little hesitation, Viara started touching and emptying the liquid soap foam in the area of her husband's possession. On his face that looks as if it is not drained of blood, Pandu smiled his smile to see the face of his wife who is shy to inhabit his objects that can be awakened at any time because of the gentle touch of his wife
"Thank you deck" said Pandu's plan with a smile. Viara stopped her hand that soared Pandu's heirloom and returned Pandu's smile to him
"Together my dear" Viara rubbed Pandu's forehead and kissed her pale lips gently
"Pardon adek who still doubt and shy well bang, but adek promise after adek get used to it later, adek will not hesitate or shy again to touch it. Now we continue to shower again well" said sincerely Viara reciprocated nods of the head by Pandu with a smile.
His heart felt very happy to see his wife who was so sincere in taking care of him and giving him affection. Just this time Pandu got the affection of a woman. Just this time, Pandu felt the beauty of a woman's sincere love until happy tears flowed down her pale cheeks.
"I'm happy baby, thank you for being present in my life and complementing what I lack. Thank you for all the love and sincerity you have given me all this time. I promise I will keep protecting you dear because you are my woman and will always be my woman forever. I love you Viara" Pandu said in his heart while smiling at his wife who was still soaking up his body.
After finishing soaking every inch of her husband's body, Viara again washed her husband's body gently to remove the soap foam that covered her body
"Finally done too" muttered Viara happily after cleaning the soap residue and washing her husband's body.
Viara slowly helped Pandu out of the bathub, then Viara took the towel that was placed on her shoulder. With a towel in her hand, Viara rubbed the water spots on her husband's body and wrapped the towel around his waist to cover his bottom. After that Viara grasped Pandu's weak body and led him towards the room patiently.
Arriving at the room, Viara laid down her husband's weak body and fixed her head to lie down perfectly
"But then, take the medicine box first" said Viara took the medicine she placed on her dressing table.
When Viara turned her body, Viara smiled at the shady face of Pandu who was already sound asleep
"New in just 5 seconds, my brother has fallen asleep. It seems like my brother is tired of working like this" muttered Viara stepped out his legs and sat on the side of the bed beside Pandu.
Viara rubbed the scraped wound on her husband's arm and returned to drip the red medicine on the wound. After putting a bandage on Pandu's arm, Viara went up to the bed and laid her tired body beside Pandu.
Viara took a blanket beside her head pillow and used it to cover her body and the body of her husband who only wore a towel. After putting on the blanket, Viara silenced her smile at Pandu's shady face and carried Pandu into her arms. Viara gently rubbed the back of her husband lying face to face with him and kissed lovingly the top of her head that was in front of her face
"Beautiful dream well dear, I love you always" murmured Viara kissed Pandu's forehead and hugged him tightly. Viara slowly closed her eyes following Pandu exploring the dreamland with her face leaning over Pandu's head
"I love you my Panduku"
