REPLACEMENT MEN Season 2
BEFORE RETURNING TO DUTY

The clock is just a marker. The emergence of sun sinking is evidence of real time running. Man and other living beings move, act, decide, feel, according to His terms.

Karina is still battling cancer. Perhaps because of the support of her brother and parents, she is now becoming more eager to undergo treatment therapy. As a husband Bayu also always faithfully accompanied. All of this makes Karina's disease better.

Maira's body has entered its eighth month. He no longer teaches sewing. Now Maira focuses more on her pregnancy and taking care of Oza.

The plan is Maira will give birth in Bandung Although Bu Kusno and Bu Hartini asked her to go home and the family in Jogja, she still flinch. Maira thinks of Oza's school. What happens to the school of the child if it has to be old permission to follow him back to Jogja. Finally, her mother and mother-in-law gave up. Those who are going to Bandung take turns to help Maira during labor.

"Are you sure your own birth in Bandung, baby?" Janu was aghast when he heard Maira's plan. That night was the last night of Janu's weeklong holiday. They spend time talking through video calls.

"Kan, mom and Hartini's eyes will change here."

"But, to the site is not necessarily the right you are born. It could be the birthplace they are not even stand by there!" Janu gusar's.

"It's okay, Mom. Just calm. Lahiran tuh, not as scary as you think." Maira smiled faintly looking at Janu's stiffened face on the screen of the device. "Now, yes ... Goats only, if the body does not need to be helped, in any place as well. Smoothly, directly mbrojol so. After that, you can run away too. Cook the hell, lose the same goat?"

Janu shook his head at the silliness of his wife. "But you're not a goat, brother!" sergeant.

Maira laughs.

"Mas, hopefully later paslahiran you fit down guard. So that later you can treat our children through hp."

Janu nodded. "He's healthy, right, him? Active move?"

"Alhamdulillah, Mother. Nih, he's also shuffling."

Janu's eyes sparkled. "really? I want to see!"

"Huh? How's it going?"

"Open your shirt, quick! He's kicking around again!" Janu could not hide his enthusiasm.

Maira shook her head at her husband's ridiculous request. But still he stood up and fluttered his negligee, revealing a bulging belly and a bermuda triangle underneath. Rikuh Maira pointed the phone camera at her stomach.

"A long way, baby. Let her whole stomach look!"

Maira clucking. Now put the phone on the nightstand. Then he stood in front of her, right at the screen. Maira's face was red when she saw the figure of her own half-naked body with a protruding belly. The protrusions appear to move due to the movement of the baby in his stomach.

Janu laughed in a stampede. "I saw it, I saw it!" the man exclaimed as the protrusions in Maira's stomach were clearly visible on the screen. "Great, would-be taekwondo athlete!"

"Aamiin" said Maira. "Even, huh?"

"Just a second!" Janu still seems to enjoy the appearance on his screen.

For some time Maira stood up while holding the tip of the raised negligee in front of her chest. He was getting tired and restless. But Janu still seemed to be smiling looking at his stomach.

Her stomach?

Hey, whoa!

Why are his eyes now looking downwards?

"Bag!!" peekot Maira's. He hurriedly lowered his negligee back down.

"Well, closed!"

"What do you see, Mas?" Maira gusar's.

"Look at our baby-to-be plus the bermuda triangle bonus." Janu chuckles.

"Yes ..., Mas Janu nyebeliiiii ...!!!" mean it.

Janu's laughter was getting scattered to see the anger of his wife. "Darling, don't get angry, you'll get old!" Janu said in the Papuan dialect.

Maira sneers. "Hmm ..., yeah ..., start learning how to speak that language, yeah! Can I flirt with that girl?"

Janu's laughter returned. The man always liked that Maira showed his jealousy.

"Honey," said Janu as his laughter subsided. "I've got a name for our son" he continued seriously.

"O yes, what is it?"

"Em, good to hear. What does that mean?"

"The daughter who loves and loves God."

"Ow ... Very good meaning!" exclaiming Maira. His hands are cupped in front of his face. "If boys?"

"Lhoh, he said the results of USG girls?"

"Yes, if God wills otherwise, can it be? Human technology cannot defeat God's will."

"Em, if a guy .. if a guy completely I give you his name."

"Well, what, that?"

"I don't have time to think of a boy's name anymore."

Maira frowned. "Where are you going?"

Janu quiet. He looked at Maira with his eyes soft and full of love. A smile on his lips.

Maira's heart is pounding. Every time Janu stared with those sad eyes, there was always a beautiful glow in his chest. Making his cheeks instantly blush.

"What the hell, Mom, look around?" the tanya covered the pounding on the chest.

"Tomorrow I shall go again to the place of duty. Be careful, Take care of your health. Take care and take care of Oza is also his sister. Educate them well to be sons of righteousness."

Maira nodded. "Yes, Mum."

"O yeah, Oza's asleep?"

"Looks not yet. I saw him assembling his new lego. I'll be in his room, yeah."

Oza hasn't slept. And when Maira tells her that her father's phone, Oza is very excited to take the phone from Maira's hand. Then the boy greeted his father cheerfully.

"Dad, I got a new Lego, doong ...!" exclaim Oza while lifting his leg which is almost so.

"O yeah? Here's what you see!"

Oza held up the helicopter lego in front of the mobile phone screen. Then he and his father started chatting about the toy.

In the doorway Maira stood leaning back while crossing her arms. His smile grew to see the excitement of chatter Oza and his father. I can be sure it will be a long conversation.

In three months, Za, we'll see Dad.

***

In the morning, Janu's squad and several other squads prepared to depart. They were apples before they got on the helicopter. Captain Rana seemed to pick up the apples of departure.

"Message me, be careful and increase alertness. In a district close to the air base, the situation is hot. It could have been in your place."

"Stay in coordination with the nearby military security post. Turn on the radio 24 hours!"

"READY!!!"

They answered Captain Rana. A little while later, Rana's captain dispersed the apples and ordered them to board the helicopter.

This time they were guarding as many as two squads. It takes two helicopters to transport them. And the TNI Air Force's combat helicopters gallantly began to swerve between the mountains. Down the valley, through virgin forests.

Throughout the journey the soldiers remained on alert. Weapons ready to be fired at hand. Their views point out. Be alert if there is a sudden attack from the bottom.
