Our conversation stopped when we saw a bus stop at the front gate, the roadside, along with it, many men in army uniforms came down from there. Then one by one the women around me waved to greet their husbands, invite them in or embrace their arms.
It's a completely new sight for me, but I don't know why I'm so happy to see it. It was like entering another world, not expecting to see any of this. Though more than eight months ago I was still an Icha who was always angry by his mother because of his fasting.
The bus left after taking down ten soldiers who were now on average of them having a brief chat with their wives.
My eyes glanced at Nadya, the woman's husband is still not coming. I don't know why, I wonder who her husband is.
Then our attention was diverted, this time on several motorcycles and cars entering the parking lot, some women around me looked happy to recognize their husband's vehicle, including Beautiful. The woman immediately ran over to greet a man who had just got off the parked jeep.
For the third time this afternoon, the attention of the people here was distracted when a luxurious black car came in, and stopped right in front of the stairs to the door of this apartment building.
As soon as the car door opened, a middle-aged man in military uniform neatly exited the back door, followed by the car door on the other side opening, opening, featuring the figure of a dashing and handsome man whom of course I recognize.
I didn't expect Rasha's father to come. I also do not prepare special meals or dress up beautiful and neat. Right now I only wear black skinny pants, red shirts, sandals and hair that are tied up.
Geez! Why didn't Bayu tell me first!
The soldiers who were still outside the building immediately stood up straight and saluted Rasha's father.
I took off my hair tie, quickly tidied it up and moved forward to greet the two of them.
“Dad.” Sapaku approached them after Rasha's father asked that people not pay their respects.
“Oh Icha! Long time no see. Sorry, because I didn't tell you it was coming.”
“No no. Come on in, Dad.” Invite me, who was nodding Rasha's father, let him walk in front of us.
As soon as I stood in line with Bayu, this man immediately grabbed me by my waist, not caring if we were still in the crowd.
I wanted to take it off, but she tightened her arms, lowered her head and whispered above my head, “you have to take responsibility for making me a gossip this morning.”
“Of course I will be in charge, I am the woman in charge!” Answer whispered.
“How will you be responsible to me?”
“I'll be responsible for you tonight. In our room.” Whisperer teased him. It made Bayu keep his head away from me, shocked.
His ears turned red but his teasing grin began to expand.
“Dare to tease me, eh? But I like you like this. Look sexier.” Said Bayu with his mouth stuck in front of my ears.
I chuckled softly, trying to push her away in amusement.
“Ekhmmm..” Deheman Rasha's father made us both aware, with coercion and shame, I pushed him away.
“You can continue it after dad left. I just want to talk to you for a minute.” Rasha's father's tone of voice sounded joking, reminding me of Bayu's way when he was joking.
“Dad, you should have dinner first here.” I said I felt bad. The three of us arrived in front of the elevator, waiting for the door to open.
“Not that I have an appointment after this, yes ‘kan?” Bayu.
“You're..” Dad flicked Bayu's forehead with his fingers, I couldn't bear to laugh because just this time saw him being pierced by Rasha's father.
“Dad understand! Gotta give you both plenty of time. Anyway, dad and Evano are already looking forward to a grandson.”
My face was heating up but Bayu was standing next to his father, embracing the middle-aged man as he said, “we will work hard! You guys take it easy!”

“Do you eat normally? Your arms are so skinny!” Rasha's father's question made my movement that was putting hot drinks in front of him stop.
“What do you mean by father, Icha? Of course he ate-”
“I didn't ask you. Why are you answering?!” Bayu and Rasha's father looked at each other seriously.
I immediately sat down beside Bayu, facing father and replied, “I usually eat until full, three times a day.”
“Eat more!”
“Good, Well.”
“How about sports?”
“I run every morning on Saturday or Sunday, but sometimes I warm up every day.” this one I really do, for four months taking care of Evano's father's company, Evano, I would take a morning run every Saturday and do a light warm-up five minutes before the shower, initially the activity was just to fill my free time that every day only works in the office, and all of that becomes a habit.
“Very good!” Rasha's father nodded, “so, Cha. What are you cooking?”
“Oh!” I was a bit surprised suddenly at being asked like that, next I explained what I was cooking for dinner today, asking Rasha's father to come eat with us.
At dinner, I told a lot about the places I visited all day, it turns out Rasha's father knew a lot because he had been assigned here for a long time.

“Antar dad to where?” I asked directly when I heard the door open and I rushed to him.
“Of course until dad gets in the car.” I nodded in satisfaction, considering it was eight o'clock at night.
“Dad catch a flight tonight.”
“Oh? Dad no duty here?” Ask wonder.
“No. Father came today because there is something to discuss.”
“Then about Gia, when can I meet her? She's okay ‘kan?” my question is not answered by Bayu. He was silent for a while with a serious expression while looking at me, then he let out a long sigh, turned towards the room and returned again in a few seconds with a large brown map.
“About Gia. We'll talk about it later, but this is what I promised. You can read it first, I want to take a shower.” He said with a lethargic look.
I immediately grabbed the map that he offered, when I pulled, Bayu still held it, he said, “idjilan, after reading this report, you can not make your own decision. Involve me with whatever you want to do.”
“What's up to his side?” I looked at him seriously.
Bayu nodded, “ya, because this is also about your past. Everything here has been confirmed with data and the confession of Evano.”'s father
