Love of the Adjutant
Long Waiting

Two months passed after Kinan's return from the hospital. During that time there was no news from Indra. Not even Papa could find any information.

It was the day all the soldiers were waiting for. Yes, the time when all the troops will return to the Battalion.

But not so with Kinan, Kinan did not come to the Battalion. He decided to come to the show. He was afraid to see the truth. In his heart still ringing, if the husband still goes on duty.

Until the morning.

"Assalamallaikum." said a man from the front door.

"Waallaikumsalam" replied Mama who rushed to open the door.

Look at a figure that has been invisible for a long time. The figure of the man wearing a striped shirt and the rank of Captain looked very gallant and increasingly handsome.

"Niko??" say Mama.

"Hi, Aunt. How are you??" ask Niko politely.

"Good, Nik. You alone??"

"Thank God be good too, Auntie." answered Niko.

"Oh yeah, let's go in here." Mama asked Niko to come in. They also sat in the living room.

"What do you want to drink??" added Mama.

"Come, Auntie." answered Niko. Mama immediately told ART to serve a glass of warm tea for Niko.

"Tumben you came here. It seems like we have never met each other in a long time?? Maybe a year later, huh??" sahut Mama curious.

"Yes, Aunt. I'm busy too, Auntie. Again school to be a candidate for Commander."

"Sesko?? Wihh, great for you." praise Mama.

Niko simply replied with a smile.

"Especially starting last month I've moved duties, Auntie."

"Loh, move?? Kok Aunty does not hear what news from Om."

"It's not official yet, Auntie. The release is still next week."

"Ooh." answered Mama.

"Oh yes Aunt. Um, Kinan is??" ask Niko doubtfully.

"She, looks like she's in the park again. Wait a minute, let Aunty call me first." when you want to move.

"No, no aunt. Let me go there." said Niko.

He politely walked towards the park.

Arriving behind the door, from a distance he saw Kinan was busy chatting casually with the baby. The baby he put in a stroller and played his tiny hand.

Although at that time Kinan was seen smiling, but Niko was very sure his heart was not so. He knew clearly how Kinan was. He is very good at hiding his true feelings.

Niko slowly approached Kinan. Kinan who felt his presence looked over.

"Niko??" kinan was surprised.

"Hey. How you doing??" ask Niko relax. It was as if there would never be any trouble between them.

"Ehmm.., Thank God well." replied Kinan trying to relax.

Niko sat down near the stroller. Slowly he touched the baby, the tiny hand clasped tightly onto Niko's hand. He smiled at the little baby.

"What's her name??" ask Niko.

"Ashaka."

"Good name." praised Niko while looking at the baby.

"I'm sorry that coming here surprised you. I'm just here to say goodbye."

"Pamitan?? Where are you going??"

"I'll move on. And maybe I won't come back here again."

Kinan was silent for a moment.

"No need to be sad" said Niko, who only joked. Kinan replied with a sharp look.

"I'm sorry for all my mistakes. I know that maybe my mistake was very big, even it can be said that it is not worth forgiving. But at least this time, I want to apologize sincerely to you." explained Niko.

But Kinan did not reply, he just fell silent while looking at Niko. His eyes began to glaze over.

"After my departure, may your life always be happy, Kinan. May you and your son live joyfully."

"Niko, you......"

"I don't want to hear anything from you. I'm just asking you please don't be sad anymore. Arshaka still needs you, he really needs a mother figure." said Niko.

"I know you are a strong and patient woman. A wonder woman who is invincible. But it has a very soft heart." added Niko.

"Blessed with Arshaka, I will always remember you. Take good care of yourself. And stay as Kinan as I used to know." Niko smiled.

Kinan nodded his head.

"I say yes first." said Niko ended his meeting with Kinan.

Niko also moved away from Kinan. He did not want his tears to fall in front of Kinan. He also rushed into a car.

"We're going straight to the airport." Niko asked the driver. The driver drove his car to where Niko was referring to.

Why is Niko back?? Is anyone missing?? Think Kinan.

He opened the door, and it would be surprised if Kinan rang the bell instead of Niko. Except the person he had been waiting for. A man she had longed for. The figure of the husband who was declared a victim of the explosion.

The man was currently standing right in front of Kinan. Standing very gallantly while carrying a backpack on his shoulders.

"Mh...Mm.Mmm, that,,....Mas???" kinan was doubtful.

"Dear, it's Mas." said Indra with a big smile.

Sontak Kinan ran and hugged her husband very tightly. Her tears could no longer be contained. The swift tears that came out of Kinan's eye patch, signified that he missed the figure terribly.

"Mass,,mas....Mas Indra???!!" kinan is hysterical.

He didn't want to let go of that hug. Suppose that he was dreaming, he did not want to wake up from that dream.

"Mas..Mommy....." Kinan cried bitterly.

"Already, already. Mas is already here. Don't cry anymore."

"Why didn't Mas ngabarin Adek, why is Mas ngebiarin Adek here like crazy??? Mas evil, evil, evil, evil?!!!" kinan said, expressing all his emotions.

"Yes, yeah. Excuse me. Maafin Mas yes, Mas condition does not allow news to Adek. Mas promised later Mas will tell everything to Adek." explained Indra.

Kinan's hysterical cry made the whole house rush out of their rooms. They ran towards the front door.

"Indra??!" mama said she couldn't believe it. "You're back, son??" My mother could not hold back her tears.

"Yes, Ma." Indra kissed the hands of Kinan's parents.

"Thank God you can go home safely Ndra" said Papa.

"Ready, Father." replied Indra firmly.

So happy, Kinan hugged her husband tightly. But Indra squealed.

"Aww!!!"

"Well, why??" ask Kinan to worry.

"Mas is still healing from the explosion, Dek." replied Indra smiling.

"Oh yeah, where's our son??" ask Indra who really wants to see the figure of their baby.

Kinan also pulled Indra into the house. A baby was sleeping in a box. Slowly Indra put down her backpack. Touching the baby's hand, and stroking it.

"My son." said Indra glassy.

He slowly carried the child into his arms. The passionate longing makes Indra powerless to shed tears. Kinan smiled seeing that.

After being satisfied to hold the baby, Indra also put it back into the box. He hugged the istro next to him.

"Mas kangen is absolutely Adek. Why didn't Adek come to the Battalion?? Didn't we promise to meet again??"

'"Because Adek was afraid, Mas. Adek was afraid to accept the fact that Mas would not return." replied Kinan sadly.

"But the proof is that Mas is back now, right??" Indra wanted to calm his wife.

Kinan nodded his head, hugging the husband's body warmly.

Flashbacks :

When the truck driven by Indra was about to enter the village, the rear tire of the truck accidentally stepped on the grenade. The back of the truck was turned upside down. And just before the explosion, someone was seen saving Indra and Wahyu from the truck. It was Niko. Captain Niko was not far from the scene. He rushed to help Indra and Wahyu out of the truck to be helped by the villagers.

And just after getting them out, the truck exploded. Niko who saw Indra and Wahyu who were wounded and unconscious was immediately fled to a nearby health clinic. But unfortunately, the clinic did not have an adequate health team. The condition of Revelation can still be saved, but the condition of Indra had decreased.

When all had resigned to the existing circumstances, suddenly appeared a foreign man who was silent to bring Indra to his private place. Even in that place, Indra was treated by several famous doctors. Not only a doctor, but there are 8 leading specialist doctors in the world.

Yes, he is Mr. Andrey. He only wanted to repay Kinan's kindness which had saved his life. Under Mr. Andrey's strict supervision, Indra was able to get through his time of crisis.

He also deliberately did not inform the unity of Indra, he did not want its existence in the military know. If not, its existence could be the target of several countries.

After several months in the care at the mansion of Mr. Andrey, Indra recovered and was about to return.

When he was coming back, Mr. Andrey's men reported that Indra's entourage had been at the airport to return to Indonesia. With his power, Indra was escorted by Mr. Andrey's men to arrive at the airport as soon as possible.

At the moment when he was about to leave, arrived the figure of Indra also appeared. The commander who saw this could not believe it. And hugged the happy aide.

Back to Kinan's room. It looks like Indra has finished bathing and changing clothes, from now on she is still faithful to hold the baby. And fondle.

"Whose son is this handsome??" indra.

"She looks a lot like me, Dek."

"Of course, he's Mas's son." replied Kinan who was tidying up Arshaka's box.

Indra slowly put Baby Arshaka into her box.

"Dek." call Indra spoiled.

"Bikin another one that looks like Adek yukk." rayu Indra.

"Ih, Arshaka was a child Mas. Will be waiting for him to be 4 or 5 years old."

"Yes, that makes it what it is now."

Instantly Indra also released all his longing for the wife. Expose his passionate love gebu. Just imagine, for a year he could not embrace the warmth of the wife's body.

Elsewhere, Niko was sitting in a plane seat. He chose a business class on his flight. His eyes began to look glassy, his eyes turned to the outside of the window. Many times he breathed. Trying hard to keep her tears from falling. He also began to close his eyes.

...THE ENDS...
