At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 9. The Person Who is Missed
"Well deck, do you want kamana?" asked Andra who saw Viara was cleaning her things. Viara turned to look at Andra and walked up to her who was sitting leaning on her safe before answering Andra's question, Viara controlled her breathing and smiled sweetly at the man she loved
"Adek wants to go home bang, grandma adek only allow 2 days to adek keep brother. Is it okay, bang?"
"Dad deck is okay" replied Andra trying to smile
"My mouth says yes, but my heart does not. I feel comfortable with you deck, if I can still feel your gentle attention after this" Andra's inner sighs harshly
"i still want to take care of you here because I'm afraid that my time with you will soon be over" Viara said in her heart
"Adek go home first yah bang, later bang Pandu who will replace adek keep brother here. Assalamu'alaikum"
"Daddy deck, Walaikumsalam" Viara smiled and stepped her feet out of Andra's room
"Sister Tara, please take care of bang Andra well. Adek wants to go home first" asked Viara to Tara who stood in front of the door
"Dad deck, come play here again yah"
"Sister" Viara replied smilingly and resumed her move out of the hospital

"Where have you been, searched many times in the house there is no" murmured Tasya annoyed to see Viara just returned
"Hehe's sorry, I haven't been home in two days. Just this morning I came home from the hospital" said Viara suddenly made Tasya shocked
"Well! Hospitals. Who's sick?" Tasya asked worriedly
"Bang Andra Tasya's. He was shot during the attack 2 days ago" Viara said softly with a sigh
"Then how's it going?"
"Thank God he's fine and still recovering"
"Do you take care of her during treatment?" Ask Tasya
"Dad, why?"
"Don't you do something to her" Goda Tasya smiled mischievously
"Yeee kegeeran you, when I take the opportunity behind the narrowness anyway"
"Well, you should have taken the chance, Viara, there just happened to be a chance"
"Yeeee is good, your mind goes where Tasya is, remember we are 14 years old but your mind is far up" Viara said
"Heheh understood, he wanted to date but was afraid of being scolded by ortu" said Tasya
"Hahaha, dibarahin ortu is natural because it should be in the present age we must continue to learn, not even thinking of a soul mate. Moreover, not necessarily your two soul mates" said Viara sage
"But the class friends we all have girlfriends, only we're both single"
"What is the problem if we are single, then we will only think about the lessons and the future. We will not be heartbroken just because of love affairs, but heartbroken when the value is substandard" continued Viara at length
"Your father was right Ara, then continue to learn mathematics again well"
"okay boss"

"Grandmother" said Viara running to hug her grandmother who was cooking in the kitchen
"You just got to my son?" ask grandma lula softly
"Dad, Viara stopped at Tasya's house for a while"
"Where have you been?" Ask me if Lena has just arrived
"Ohh yeah, then how's your brother's condition now?" Ask Mbak Iena while taking out her groceries
"She's fine, she's been asleep for a long time so I've been with her all day" Viara replied smilingly recalling Andra's face
"Don't you do something to her so she falls asleep long enough" Iena said
"Yeeee don't accuse me of being reckless, I'm just accompanying him anyway"
"Truly just nemenin, don't do more?" mbak lena goda. Viara's cheeks glowed red as she recalled when she took care of Andra overnight and opened the bandage on her shoulder
"Ahh no really, just no more nemenin" said Viara while showing a row of teeth
"Already, now eat first baby, grandma is ready to prepare your favorite food on the table" said grandma lula stroked her granddaughter's head
"Good grandma" Viara replied and sat down on the chair
"Sir, there are two bowls, one full and the other one is finished. Who ate it, grandma?" Viara asked confusedly
"So your father came, son, he stopped by for a while and he ate the food in the empty bowl" Lula's grandmother explained
"Viara also met my father in the hospital, and then he left again"
"Are you angry when your father left you for a state assignment?" Ask grandma lula who is sitting across the table. Viara put down the spoon she was holding and turned to look at her grandmother with a smile
"No grandma, Viara's not red like dad. Indeed Viara was a little disappointed because Viara could only meet father very briefly, but Viara remained proud of her father. He was willing to leave his family for our country, and to fight for the security of our country. Isn't that noble duty"
"Dad son, you're right" said grandma Lula confirming Viara's speech
"Then what kind of husband do you want baby?" Ask grandma lula. Viara smiled and went back to answering her grandmother's questions just like before
"That's like dad"

The next day at the village hospital next door, Andra just fell silent staring out the window, looking for the figure she wanted to see after the figure left 20 hours ago
"Abang is awake, let's eat the porridge first" said Pandu who had just come to meet Andra
"Have you just come bang?" Ask Andra
"Daddy out of the village, what's up?" Ask Pandu back
"Did Viara come with you. Is he here?" Andra asked with hope
"No bang, I saw him go to school with his friend". Hearing the speech of the guide, Andra let out a rough sigh
"What's the bang? I noticed it seemed like my brother was starting to get interested in her"
"Dad is right, I'm interested in that little girl. When I first saw her, I began to admire her. A teenage girl who is so innocent and noble-hearted. If it wasn't for him, I might have been covered in a mound of dirt" Andra said smilingly recalling the first time she saw Viara
"Did you miss him?"
"Every time, I miss her presence" Andra replied back
"Hurry to heal bang, so you can meet him again. It seems like he also has the same feelings as brother, but he is embarrassed because of the age difference between the two of you which is quite far"
"Right bang, when I looked into her eyes, her eyes seemed to hint at something. His gaze was so deep and shady as he looked at me. I wondered what the mask covered look like"
"it seems like my guess is right, you love Viara and Viara loves you too" Inner Pandu felt that there was something strange in his heart
"Well, someone else is in love" Pandu said to Andra while smiling
"When the time comes, I will tell you how I feel. I hope you can accept me well"
