Dilemma Intersection
Chapters 18. Indira's sorrow

Time continues to pass, it does not feel that it has been 6 months Dirga went on duty. And for three months Indira has not received any news from him. At first Indira began to feel anxious, but all that returned to normal when remembering the words of the Mother.

"Run like running water, don't hold too tight for fear of something breaking. The important thing is that if he needs you, you are always there. If he misses, you always miss him. Live like you two don't know each other, don't be a burden,"

Until now the advice of his mother three months ago continues to ring in his ear. Because it is not easy to live a relationship with a state servant. Moreover, the relationship that is lived LDR. Indira is now enjoying the atmosphere of the morning at the park which is currently his favorite place.

Earlier this morning, his parents invited Indira to run there in the morning.

"Dad! You want some chicken porridge?" ask Mother Gisya.

"Byeh, Bun! Don't use onions!" Indira does not like something that smells of onions.

"Yes! Wait for a sweet seat with Dad," said the Mother as if Indira was a child.

Now stay Indira with Father Fahri who is straightening both legs.

"Daddy, can I ask you something?" Fahri's father looked at Indira with a serious face.

"Can, Dad. What's up?" ask Indira who was worried.

"What is your relationship with Athaya? I see you guys getting closer and closer, does Athaya want to be serious with you?" fahri's father's question made Indira smile.

"She's just doing it, Dad. We're just friends, too! Adek still wants to reach the ideals of Adek, Dad," Indira reviewed his best smile before the Father.

For a moment both were silent.

"What about you, Dirga?" the question Fahri's father made Indira gasp. Where did his father know Dirga? Indira never opens up to her father.

Not yet Indira replied, Mother Gisya came to bring the porridge that strangely she was with Athaya. Whether when the man came, Indira could only force her smile.

"This is the porridge, without the use of onions at the request of the princess," Athaya said very sweetly, if the saying Dirga could be Indira cheered happily.

"Thank you, yeah!" truly Indira felt a dilemma with her own heart. On the other hand he was expecting Dirga, but on the other hand he felt comfortable with Athaya.

While they were enjoying chicken porridge, Mother Gisya got a call if Elmira was going to give birth. Athaya quickly delivered Mother Gisya to the hospital, while Indira will go to the dormitory because Sweta was entrusted to Betrys' sister. Indira leaves with Fahri's father, as Fahri's father also gets word that Mirda has just returned. Considering his daughter was about to give birth, Fahri's father immediately drove his car.

Indira immediately brought Sweta, she kept Sweta in the dormitory owned by the brother. The atmosphere of the dormitory was very crowded, as the return of the soldiers was advanced early.

"Fikaay!" call Indira when you see Fika carrying a flower bucket.

"Dira! Ah I'm relieved that you're here," Fika hugged Indira tightly.

"You'll definitely meet Panji, okay?" indira and Fika asked.

"Yes, I miss him!" indeed Indira was reluctant to hear the purity of Fika towards her lover.

Indira accompanied Fika towards the field near the Hall, heard the sound of sobs from the families of the soldiers who died on the battlefield. Then Indira's eyes caught the figure of the banner sitting in the wheelchair. Seeing that, Fika immediately rushed to hug the lover of heart.

"Oh my God, Brother! You're why baby," Fika sobbed hugging Panji's body, the flower bucket she brought fell just like that.

By Allah, Indira cried to see the condition of Panji in a state that was not okay. Panji suffered a gunshot wound to his leg, and it happened an hour before his return. Indira imagined the face of Dirga who is now undergoing his duties, his tears just escaped. Especially when he saw Panji looking at him with sadness.

"Dirga will be fine, don't worry! He will definitely recover soon," Panji's remark made Indira amazed.

"What does Brother mean?!" really Indira did not understand what Panji said.

Panji sighed, apparently he mispronounced. It turns out that Indira did not know about the incident that hit the Garuda contingent troops in Lebanon.

"Sir please! What's up?!" Panji and Fika looked at each other confusedly.

"Two months ago, there was a bomb blast carried out by Israeli forces. During the night, the explosion caused many casualties. Dirga was evacuating civilians, but he got two shots in the chest and on his shoulder. Did the general not tell you?" panji's speech made Indira relax for a moment.

Fika immediately approached her best friend, she hugged Indira very tightly.

"Sir Panji lied, right?! Now how is Brother Dirga?" Indira cries a hiccup making Sweta also cry.

"He is still in treatment, fortunately there are nurses from Indonesia who take good care of him. And....." Fika glared at the lover.

"And what?!" Indira asked full probing.

"He almost died when he saved Dirga, he would marry the nurse when they returned to Indonesia" Panji said cautiously.

Duaaarrrrrrr

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Indira's heart really hurt to hear it. God, can Indira complain to you?! Indira was very disappointed, especially when she remembered her conversation with her father this morning. Indira violently wipes her tears, she must not be weak. Is this not the path he took, and Dirga is no one. They have no ties whatsoever. Indira said goodbye to Fika and Panji, she began to strengthen her heart.

Fika and Panji stared at Indira's departure with a feeling of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Dira! I had to lie, because that was Dirga's wish. He wants to see you happy, even if not with him," Inner Panji.

"Sister! Is it true that Dirga will marry?!" Fika asked full of probes.

"So big brother lied, I'll end our relationship just here! You know how much Indira means to me?!" threaten Fika makes Panji swallow her saliva.

Finally Panji told Fika everything, without a single thing he covered.

The Flashback

Two months ago, Panji was in Post I. He just finished calling Fika, over the lighthouse of course. Because only there they get the signal.

Tring

"Damn! Dirga why are you like this?! Why do you give up on your love! You bego guy!" swear the Panji when he heard Dirga's wish.

Panji played the voice message sent by his colleague.

"Ji-ji, gu-gue mo-pleon bil-pick pa-on Shafa ka-kalo di-he must be happy! Ja-don't bi-biarin in-he nu-wait gu-gue,"

Panji's heart was sliced, he imagined how his best friend was. Panji grabbed her hair in frustration. He tried to find the right reason for him to tell Indira.

Flashback Off

Fika looked at Panji with a murderous look.

"So during those two months Brother thought, and that reason is what Brother loves?! I swear I'm disappointed, brother! Dira must be really sick! Bad sister," Fika was really very upset with this human in front of her.

"That oath is all I have in mind, yank! You also don't know how it feels to be in my position!" Panji sighed in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Indira is now in the hospital. Athaya had come to pick him up, all the way Indira just silently holding Sweta. Likewise when the hospital, even when the Second Brother announced he would marry Indira could only smile stiffly. His mind still drifted far away.

After visiting his nephew, Indira immediately rushed to the Cafe owned by Cyra. Now Indira has a job to sing there, in addition to the chaos in her heart Indira is also avoiding the father who made her disappointed.

With a raging feeling, Indira began to greet the young people who were hanging out there.

"When we know there is someone out there who faithfully awaits us, but we still often wish that person could be like him who is currently occupying your heart. To those of you who are sad, this song I dedicate to you,"

The day I passed..

Without you accompanying..

I feel silent in my life..

I can't afford to step..

I still remember your beautiful smile..

Which always makes me remember you..

Take me in my sadness..

I didn't realize you weren't here..

You are still the most beautiful..

Beautiful in my heart..

Why our story ends..

Something like this, though,.

The only thing I feel now..

I can't cry either..

Just the rest of the most beautiful memories..

And sadness..

Indira sang the song with tears on her cheeks. And it was recorded and clearly seen by Dirga. He asks Aini, the younger brother to keep an eye on Indira. Even some people have been assigned by Papa Dirga to guard Indira. In order to make amends, Papa Dirga granted all his son's wishes.

"I'm sorry, Shafa. I've hurt you" said Dirga.

While watching Indira sing, only this time Dirga saw her crying. Dirga suspects that Indira has just met Panji. Finished singing, Indira left just like that with tears streaming down her cheeks. He stopped the taxi, and asked for it to take him to the park. The place where Dirga promised to meet him there.

"You're lying, Mas Yoga! I'm sick, Mas! Sick," Indira cried holding a necklace that read the name of Dirga Agung Prayoga.

That night, Indira spilled all her heart pain there.

"Is this our destiny, O Allah.. Astaghfirullohaladzim..," Indira clutched her over-crowded chest, she continued to beg forgiveness from Allah.

"I'm sorry, O God, you must have prepared something much more beautiful for me.

Elsewhere, Athaya, who received a short message from an unknown number, rushed to the park.

📩 +961 35264527

Athaya who had just arrived, rounded his eyes when he saw Indira being surrounded by people because of unconsciousness.

"Sheel!" yelled Athaya, then he took Indira into his car.
