Loving the Arogant Army
20. Dhezia Sick

After his argument with Rigel, Allen took the bike forward as quickly as possible. Hoping that the pain in his heart would be a family that never cared about him since he became a soldier would soon disappear. But, in vain.

The pain is not gone now either. Allen needed someone who could understand him fully. Dhezian. Yeah, that's the only woman Allen thinks about right now. Then Allen drove his bike to Dhezia's house. Perhaps, such is the man, when his heart is broken because of his family, he will look for the woman he loves.

The sun now seemed to disappear and at that twilight, Allen arrived at Dhezia's house,

Tok..

"Assalamualaikum" said Allen, knocking on the door.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Ms. Ratia. Then rushed out to see who was coming.

"Sorry, who are you looking for?" tanyanya doubt.

Actually Bu Ratia had already seen Allen, the soldier sent from Semarang to serve in the Bamboo Village Hall. But perhaps, Ms. Ratia did not know the name of the young soldier. Ms. Ratia only heard the rumour

the surrounding community only, if there is one of the soldiers sent from Semarang it is the son of the owner of a large Mall in Semarang.

"I'm looking for Dhezia Anastasya, aunty," replied Allen trying to hide a sad look on his face.

Ms Ratia looked confused, why was the soldier looking for her daughter? Ms Ratia then asked, "Sorry, what is the need to find my daughter? Do you want to invite Ame to be isolated at Village Hall?" asked Bu Ratia worried.

"Isolation? auntie, I just want to meet Dhezia" replied Allen.

"I think I want to be isolated, because Ame tea again sick, briefly try to call yes, please enter first," said Ms. Ratia let Allen in.

"Yes, thank you aunt" replied Allen.

"Anastasya's sick? Ah, why is it that when I get hurt she also hurts again? Maybe we're a match" Allen's inner. Then go into the room of the house Dhezia

and sit on the couch.

While Ms Ratia was walking into Dhezia's room, she planned to wake her daughter up. However, when he saw his daughter's face was still pale and his eyes were still closed. Finally, Ms. Ratia undoes her intentions. I could not wake her daughter. Ms. Ratia then returned to the living room and said

to Allen.

"Sorry, son. Ame is still sleeping, because it was fever, Mother could not bear to wake him," explained Bu Ratia to Allen

"Now has the fever gone down? Buk, can I ask permission to see Dhezia for a second?" ask Allen. Hope the middle-aged woman lets him see Dhezia.

Bu Ratia looked indecisive, afraid of what would happen to her daughter, but when she saw Allen Bu Ratia looked unbearable to Allen, it seemed like Allen was a good child, then Bu Ratia replied, "All right, okay, kid. But

the door to her room will open, yes,"

"Good, aunt. Thank you," said Allen.

"Come, son. This way," said Ms. Ratia

"Yes, aunt,"

When he entered Dhezia's room, he saw the girl still lying weakly with her eyes closed. Really pale. Ms. Ratia invited Allen to sit next to Dhezia's bed. Allen looked closely at the girl. Although the girl's face looked pale, she was still really beautiful.

"What's your name, son?" Ask Bu Ratia

"Allen, auntie," he answered

Judging by the young man who might be a year or two apart from his eldest daughter still wearing his striped clothes, Ms Ratia then asked again, "You're a soldier from Semarang who served here, son?"

"Yes aunty, but tomorrow maybe we have returned to Semarang, it seems like a positive case in Bamboo Village has died down" said Allen.

Bu Ratia simply nodded her head, and momentarily looked towards the young man, then asked, asking,

"Son Allen ate?" tanyakanya.

Looking at the young man again, even though his body looked burly with his muscle muscles, Allen's face looked pale, with a hint of glazed eyes. Looks like Nak Allen is sad. After all, Ms. Ratia is a mother. It can easily feel if the young man is one or two years apart with his first child

that's sad.

"Eum, not aunty, was told to go to the village hall to eat, but I came first" he explained

"Mother eat yes" said Ms. Ratia.

"Eh, no need, aunt, afraid of nicotine," Allen refused.

"Udah gapapa, ndak troublesome really, a moment I get it, titip Amenya a moment yes, son" said Ms Ratia

"Yes aunty" replied Allen finally.

A moment later, Ms. Ratia left the room. Allen stared at the full back of Bu Ratia who was walking out of the room. Then he brought himself closer to Dhezia who was still asleep.

"Good mother, when did my mother become your mother?" muttered. Allen asked Dhezia who still looked closed in his eyes.

But, without realizing it, Dhezia slowly opened her eyes. Sayup I heard someone muttering nearby.

"Allen-allen?" call him with stitches.

"Yes, it's me. How are you doing?" ask Allen. After seeing Dhezia, now his sadness slowly disappeared.

"Eum. limp," he wrote.

"You don't want to drink?" asked Allen flatly.

"Engga, want you to be warm, not kayak nybelin usually," replied Dhezia.

"I'm a gini, '" said Allen.

Shortly afterwards, Ms. Ratia came carrying 2 dishes of rice, side dishes, and 2 carrot juices.

"This is Nak Allen, eat first" said Ms. Ratia giving Allen a plate of rice.

"Sorry aunt, I'm here and I'm even taking nicotine" Allen said.

"No trouble, son. Please eat first, is the Ame awake? How are you doing, brother?" asked Bu Ratia while holding Dhezia's forehead.

"It's better" replied Dhezia.

"Yaudah, you eat all together Allen yes, I want to take you to eat, then teach Laura to do her online duties," said Ms Ratia.

"Yes, buk, sorry Dhezia has not been able to teach Laura to do the job, buk," said Dhezia.

"Yes, you're sick again, sister, let me just teach you, wherever also the mother has been to school, even though not to graduate, just High School. But if the SD lesson is yes, you can, hihi," explained Ms. Ratia while laughing.

"Hud, stay first, brother."

"Yeah, buk," replied Dhezia.

After Ms. Ratia left the room, Dhezia saw Allen, still unable to believe that Allen was in front of her. Visiting him when he is sick. Looking at him, Allen seemed ordinary, not misbehaving or nervous. Unlike the self of Dhezia who is currently sick but his heart is racing. How did Allen get into his room? His mother allowed it? Or did he force his way in? Dhezia was busy with her thoughts.

"Now, eat first," Allen said.

"Later, not yet laper" replied Dhezia.

"Eating, the abscess is taking medicine" Allen said

"Later on, Lex," she refused.

"Eat, you have to heal fast, like mother loh, lucky you have a good mother," Allen said.

" Yes eat, but later,"

"It's also difficult to hold you down, more difficult than shooting on target" Allen said.

"Belvin,"

"Judah special this time, I bribe. Tomorrow udh back to Semarang like it," explained Allen.

The deg! Allen back to Semarang? Does that mean he won't be able to see Allen again? He should be happy, Allen did not bother him anymore, but somehow Dhezia even felt sad to hear the news of Allen's return to Semarang.

Allen took Dhezia's plate and fed the rice to the girl.

"Come on, open your mouth, Amore" Allen said.

Now Dhezia just wants to open her mouth. Receiving a mouthful of rice from Allen.

"You don't get sick anymore, I don't want to bribe you like this" Allen said.

"So, this isn't sincere? Yaudah let me eat alone" replied Dhezia.

"I bribe you, but change your bribe, yes. I haven't eaten either" Allen said.

Allen in front of him. Somehow he was too weak to argue with Allen, then Dhezia said, "well, you open your mouth," Dhezia ordered.

"Aaaa..," Allen opened his mouth.

"This time I'm a guy" said Dhezia.

"Whoever, ever," said Allen flatly.

"You're the first guy I've ever bribed" Dhezia explained.

"So you've never dated?" ask Allen.

"Yet, have you?" sahut Dhezia's.

"You think?"

"Already, from the way you insult innocent women like me, ranging from deliberately spraying disinfectants, to telling me to crazy things, you must have many women," explained Dhezia.

"I don't have one" he answered briefly.

Dreeett...

Allen's phone vibrated. Rigels. Allen immediately picked it up, though,

["Hello, Lex. Where're you?"] ask Rigel through his Whatsapp call.

["At Dhezia's house, Gel. How's it?"]

["Listen to the group, our schedule is back now, Standby 1"] explained Rigel.

[" Yeah. I'm back now,"] said Allen.

["Ok"] Rigel said on the phone call.

Soon after, Allen ended his phone call, saying goodbye to Dhezia,

"I'm sorry, I have to go back now, get well, take care of yourself here, Anastasya."

The cup!

Allen kissed the girl's forehead at a glance.

"It's for tonight's debt, pay off today" Allen said.

"For tomorrow? I have not been able to replace, and you already have to return to Semarang. If I get the money I'll meet you in Semarang, Len." said Dhezia.

"All right, I'm saying goodbye" Allen said. When she was about to step out of the room, Dhezia suddenly called the man.

“Len...,wait..,” call Dhezia down.

Allen looked at Dhezia, “What?”

“This..,” Dhezia got up from her bed, then grabbed Katsina Doll who was in the backpack beside her bed, and handed the Katsina Doll to Allen.

“What is this? Make me?” Allen looked at the doll.

“Give me back when we meet again later, I will also go to Semarang,” said Dhezia.

“Okay, until we meet again, Amore.” Allen said. Then sip a glass of tomato juice and quickly get out of Dhezia's room.

"I'll say yes, aunt. I have to go back to Semarang now. Accepted for the food," said Allen when he reached the living room and found Ms. Ratia who was helping Laura do her job.

"Oh, yes, my dear Allen, take heart on the road" said Ms. Ratia.

"Yes aunty, Laura's chest," she said to Laura as she waved her hand.

"Yes, sister, be careful." said Laura.

Allen then passed away leaving their home and headed towards the Bamboo Village Hall in preparation for his return to Semarang.
