Ara followed Uncle Favier's footsteps listlessly. Actually it was predicted to be like this, Jack would not come, but he insisted on coming so the result was like this. She had to be disappointed in the husband she had been waiting for was not among those soldiers.
Sound on the microphone again. Uncle Favier glimpsed into the airy middle there seemed to be a bit of a fuss. He looked again at Ara who was walking down.
Not long after the sound of the plane flying in the distance. Ara had a look at the field that was still gathered by the women with the soldiers. He seems to want to go home quickly.
The noise of the plane was getting louder as the plane was about to land. The atmosphere seems to be crowded.
Uncle Favier turned his head towards the field, and stopped his steps.
“What's Uncle?” asked Ara, turning to Uncle Favier who was behind him who was even silent looking at the field.
“There are more planes coming, but it looks like it's a private plane,” replied Uncle Favier, standing looking at the field that there is the plane.
Ara was also looking at it but she was already not interested in the plane, which Jack definitely did not come today and he could not hope anymore, he was just going to rush home, he wanted to get enough rest with the baby in his stomach.
The noise of the plane is gone, the plane has landed, the door of the plane is open, again there is a boisterous sound in the field.
Ara no matter what happened on the field, continued her steps and her steps stopped when one of the rearguard soldiers she passed, talking to her friends in French, there are only 3 words that Ara knows what they mean.
‘Jendral Jack Delmar’
The soldier mentioned her husband's name and the rest she didn't know what it meant. Instantly her body goosebumps to hear her husband's name called.
There was applause and a big welcome.
“Honey, you should see this!” uncle Favier exclaimed, with a smile expanding on his lips, his left hand waving at Ara.
Arapun turned to Uncle Favier then to the crowd in the distance, near the plane that just landed and the door was open.
“Jack home!” uncle Favier exclaimed, making Ara shocked.
“He didn't come home, Uncle,” said Ara.
“No darling! He's comin! Jack home!” exclaim Uncle Favier.
Ara was stunned to hear him, instantly pecking, her heart seemed to stop beating, her body was trembling and her lips felt faint. Is Jack really coming home?
“Look, Jack home!” exclaimed Uncle Favier again, his hand pointing towards the plane.
Ara's heart was pounding again, nervousness instantly assaulted her. Is Jack really coming home? His eyes immediately glazed over, he immediately stepped his feet in a hurry, slightly running while holding down his stomach, returning past the rows on the field. He wants to know if Jack's really coming home? Did he not hear wrong? Or is this all just a dream when Jack comes home? The husband she was waiting for came home? His throat felt blocked and his breath sipped.
Ara continued to speed up her steps wanting to quickly get to the front of the field, instantly her tears wanted to spill.
“Honey! You're pregnant! Don't run!” yelled Uncle Favier.
Ara ran around the field while holding her stomach, did Jack really come?
But in front of the field a lot of people crowded, even the newly arrived soldiers also re-assembled in front of the field, whether there was there. Ara couldn't see it. His gaze was hindered by people who certainly had a higher posture than him.
Ara slowly moved her legs closer to the field, slipping between people, then she could see what was there.
Among the crowd, he saw the figure of the man who was being greeted happily by his comrades, who were shaking hands, hugging. Even the newly arrived soldiers did the celebration with a splash.
The man stood up while smiling at their attraction.
Ara's steps stopped Ara stood watching the same. He didn't know if he should be happy or sad, or what. She just stood up, not believing she saw her husband there.
Ara did not come at all, she just stood up, sculpted, saw the husband she missed was now in plain sight.
Jack felt that someone was watching him, and he turned to his wife to stand among the crowd.
Jack's smile was instantly gone, his excitement with his comrades and the other soldiers instantly vanished. He was silent, staring at a woman who was among the crowd, just standing looking at him. Is he angry?
Seeing that the silent Jack did not answer the questions of his colleagues, making them turn to look at Jack, they wanted to know what made Jack sculpt like that.
The soldiers and the people standing in front of Ara, lyrically speaking, did not understand why the general was looking at them, they looked back, too, and seeing there was a figure of a pregnant woman who was also just standing there, only her tears were not stopping dripping on her cheeks.
Slowly the men went away because they were not those whom the general looked up to but the figure of the pregnant woman. One by one get away to the side, even whose children are silent, invited by his mother to move aside.
Now Jack saw the woman's figure intact, from her hair to her feet. There was something different from the woman, she saw the woman's stomach was fatter, not fat but round, not rounded, but the woman was pregnant.
He stared at the face that was staring at him, his eyes were wet and his cheeks wet because tears kept flowing.
Ara was still looking at him not knowing what he was going to say. He found his lips hard to speak. He moved his feet slowly, passing those who were out of the way gave him that path.
Silent. As soon as no one spoke, they wondered why, what, all sorts of questions popped into their minds. Who's the lady?
Jack noticed the heavy steps of his wife, who approached him.
After getting closer, Ara stopped her steps, it still took a few more steps to get in front of Jack. He just kept staring at her. They looked at each other no one spoke.
Now Jack walked up to him and stopped right in front of him Ara.
“Honey!” call Jack, look at him, look at the woman who just kept quiet not talking. Unlike the others whose wives and children immediately ran to hug her husband, his wife just silently looked at him.
He misses his wife so much. His wife did not embrace him at all, only her tears spilled down her cheeks.
Jack shook his head, his eyes also started to turn red. He knew for sure his wife must have been very sad and disappointed in him.
“Don't love, don't cry, I don't want to see you cry,” Jack said, moving closer.
Ara just stared at the face of her husband who was getting closer, speechless, only her tears would not stop dripping. She still could not believe her husband was in front of her now and approached her.
Jack stopped very close in front of Ara, his two hands stalling wiping away the tears dripping down his cheeks.
“Do not cry,” he said again, not stopping to remove the airamta that continues to flow. Jemarinyapun, rubbing all the way of his wife. It had not touched that face for a long time, he missed it so much.
“I'm sorry I didn't come home soon,” Jack said.
Which Ara answered with a cry and lowered her face. Already she did not know what to say, she only felt sad so tormenting she was far away from this man.
Jack immediately grabbed Ara's shoulder, pulling her in his arms.
“I'm sorry,” said Jack again. Hugging tightly to his wife who kept crying, sucked her face into his chest. Jack kissed her hair.
Just found out that the woman was the General's wife. They are also moved and sad, looking at each other and hugging each other, they also feel the same when they have to part with loved ones.
Jack let his wife cry in his arms. After a slight pause, Ara looked at Jack. The man rubbed his cheek, wiping his tears.
“Are you really Jack?” ara asked, as if not believing that Jack was coming home.
“Yes dear, I am your Jack, your husband is home,” replied Jack, nodding.
Arapun was silent just looking at him. Jack immediately put his lips on his wife's lips, pasted it for a long time, felt his lips again and then kissed her.
“I miss you,” he said, looking back into those eyes, those early eyes why he married this woman, then Jack hugged her back His hand hugged her pugnya Ara rubbed her and then
touching Ara's stomach.
"It turns out my little general has come,” said Jack, rubbing the stomach with his right hand while his left hand hugged Ara.
Ara raised her face looking at the man's face.
“Me and your baby are waiting for you to come home,” said Ara, with eyes that returned glistening.
“I go home baby, I've come home,” said Jack, peeping Ara's forehead.
Not only was his wife sad, he was too. The job this time turned out to feel heavier when he realized there was waiting for him at home let alone being pregnant with his baby.
“How old is my little General?” ask Jack.
“Already entered 4 months,” replied Ara, her hand hitchhiking in the hand of Jack who was wiping
her stomach.
“I'm afraid you weren't there when I gave birth,” said Ara, raising her face again looking at Jack.
Jack looked back at him.
“I will accompany you later,” he said then kissed his wife's forehead again. She also can't wait to see her baby born.
“Who are you with?” ask Jack again.
“With Uncle Favier,” replied Ara.
They turned to look at PAman Favier who was already near them.
The man smiled at Jack.
“Uncle is glad you're back and reunited with your wife's son,” Uncle Favier said.
“Iya Uncle, thank you for helping my wife,” Jack said.
Uncle Favier just patted his shoulder.
“If you don't have any more events, let's go home,” said Uncle Favier.
“I still have an event,” said Jack, looking at his wife.
“Honey, you go home first with Uncle Favier, I'll catch up,” Jack said.
Arapun nodded. Jack kissed his lips again many times as well as kissed his wife's stomach also rubbing it over and over again.
“Rest, I'm home fast,” said Jack.
Ara nodded again, leaving with Uncle Favier. Jack waved his hand at his wife, smiling happily to see her again.
