I was still looking away, staring out the window, "How long?" ask me briefly.

"don't know. Until some of the vandals in the border area can be dealt with" he explained.

"One month? Two months? Or even three years?" I was bluffing so badly, imagining my days without the man beside me.

Kendra's approaching. His hand grabbed my body and put my head to lean on his sturdy shoulder. My hair is softly stroked, my forehead is kissed small. The fragrance of pheromones emanating from his body makes me cry even more, knowing very well that this fragrance that I will miss during the days ahead.

"I don't want you to go. I don't like it" I sobbed in between tears.

"I don't like it either, honey. I don't want to leave you. But how can I calm down here while my fellow soldiers take part to go back there. This really is a burden to me." the man kept dipping my head while squeezing my hand which he now held tightly.

"I promise I'll take care of myself. I promise I'll return to your side again safely." I don't know why, the promise that man made my heart ache even more. Is this what it's like to send someone we love to the battlefield? Is this what it feels like to be a wife whose husband must always be ready to sacrifice his soul and body for the sake of the country? Where are the hearts of people who really like to make trouble this country for their personal interests? What they are not aware of, every chaos that arises in this country is a suffering for us soldiers' wives, because that means, that is, once again our head of household must leave to ensure this country remains prosperous.

"Even if I forbid, you're still going, right?" i'm guessing.

"I'm sorry." Kendra's answer made me cry even more crazy.

"Well, do you drink the wheels? What else do you want to eat? A lot of people selling this?" My husband is very poor. On the outskirts of the street filled with culinary peddlers of five feet, I am free to snack whatever I want. Chance, anyway tonight I want to rob all-out Mas husband. When else to get kayak gini. Wrong himself wants to go everything.

"Pengen. The one burned. Use peanut seasoning. Buyin there, I wait here" absurd request I certainly make Mamas handsome cengo.

"Kilok? The gini-malem? Which one really is?"

"No need to know what he wants to poke. Burned, use peanut butter. Point" firmly me.

"Where to try selling cilok? Nonexistent. How is siomay? There are sales. Or empek-empek. It was delicious as it was, the egg stuffing was steady" Mas husband still tried to persuade me.

But tonight I want to make Mas husband suffer a little, so do not expect me to be ineded persuaded by his sematau, "If not cilok do not want. Must be burned and use peanut sauce." I'm scaping in front of the chest.

The handsome was scratching his head, "Yes. I'll find you first. You wait in the car. It's cold here, get a bad wind later you"

I'm getting off the bench on the side of the road, "Yes? Buy cilok anyway. Make snacking later in the dark. Be careful if you wear it long, later we miss watching it" so it's more challenging, I give you a little anceman.

"Yes I have to do it. You get in the car first.
