The LOVE Of Guardian's
Chapter 49. Seeing Snow at Home

Amelia was standing waiting for Alfin who was practicing. Before long, Alfin walked out of the room as he was about to have lunch. Amelia approached him.

"Alfin." call him.

"What's wrong?" alfin asked, looking at Amelia.

Amelia smiled, "Let's have lunch together." she asked.

Alfin refused subtly, "I have lunch alone."

After saying that, Alfin was about to leave. "First, Mel."

"Wait, Fin." stop Amelia from stopping Alfin's steps.

Amelia immediately walked over to him, "There's something I want to ask you to be all of you."

"Is that important?" ask Alfin.

Amelia nodded strongly, "It's important."

Alfin was speechless pondering, nor did he have the heart to reject Amelia's offer when the woman looked at him expectantly. Finally Alfin nodded.

"Just come on." take her.

Amelia smiled broadly, "Thank you, Fin."

Alfin nodded then started walking first followed by Amelia who followed him right behind.

***

Kenanga, Panji and Bagas had lunch together at a restaurant near RSAM. At first Kenanga was reluctant and was about to leave but her junior, full name Panji Syaputra, even brazenly withdrew his hand. Bagas who happened to cross paths in the corridor, also directly dragged Panji.

The banner seemed to have changed from a slengean obedient junior to a brash junior asking to be taught tatakrama again.

Ting

Kenanga put her spoon hard on the table.

"In fact why do we have to have lunch all the way here?" chirps Kenanga.

Bagas turned to Panji who suddenly stopped eating. His expression looked sad.

"What's wrong?" ask Bagas.

Panji sighed, "I deliberately brought you guys here far away from the base because there's something I want to confide in."

"What's? Curious?" ask Kenanga.

"Know that, I won't go along." Bagas said regretfully.

Panji sighed, "Practice as much as his services."

Bagas and Kenanga looked at each other and nodded compactly.

"Agreed."

"Free turns, spirit." Panji said grinning wryly.

***

Amelia and Alfin were already in the same restaurant as Kenanga and her two partners. Their tables were crossed but still not equally conscious.

Alfin sat back at Kenanga's desk so he didn't know his wife and comrades were there.

"What lunch do you want?" amelia asked as the waiter came to their table.

Alfin looked at the menu, then said. "Oxtail and hot rice only."

Amelia nodded, "Hot rice 2, oxtail soup and chicken satay one serving each" she told the waiter.

The waiter nodded, he then recorded it on the paper. "Drink?" tanyakanya.

"What do you want Fin?" asked Amelia.

"Just cold mango juice."

Amelia turned to the waiter again, "Mango juice 2."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Well, wait a minute." The waiter also left.

After the waiter's death, Amelia and Alfin fell silent again. Ever since the revelation of the fact that Alfin had been married, Amelia felt even more awkward. Maybe because his heart had hurt first.

But like a masochist, Amelia wanted to ask Alfin for clarity.

"On that night, the woman on the bike was really your wife?" ask her with a casual trying tone.

Alfin nodded immediately. And Amelia felt her heart ache again.

She wet her lips, "Since when did you get married?" tanyakanya.

Alfin was silent for a moment, trying to calculate how long his marriage to Kenanga was.

"About 3-4 months ago" he replied.

"Ah, it's still new." commented Amelia.

"How can you get married? I think after losing Syafira, you're still alone."

"Am I wrong for getting married? I just want to try and open a new page. My life has to go on."

But why not with me? inner Amelia was disappointed.

"Where do you know each other? You guys going out first?"

Alfin shook his head, "At an event. And we're not dating."

"How did you get married?" amelia asked not to understand.

Because of Alfin's matchmaking in heart.

But Alfin did not say that in his mouth. He replied, "We got married because we felt good. We are also adults, we know each other well enough. Moreover, is not dating after marriage better?"

Amelia nodded in agreement.

"Well, is that what you want to say?" ask Alfin.

"No, there's more. But the topic is yes, about that."

"What else is it?" Alfin becomes uncomfortable as Amelia continues to change her personal life.

"What does your wife do?" ask Amelia. Because according to him, Alfin's wife did not look like a mediocre person.

Alfin was about to reply when from behind him, his name was called.

"Doctor Alfin!"

Alfin and Amelia turned to the source of the voice. The one who called his name was Panji. But the problem is, it turns out Panji is not alone. There was his wife and Bagas who were also looking at him in the middle with Amelia.

***

"Where did you break up with that lover?" asked Kenanga as soon as Panji finished telling her that she had just broken up one-sidedly with her lover.

"Of course the lover who will be the prospective mother persit represents me." replied Panji.

"Which one is it?" ask Bagas.

Do not be confused when Kenanga and Bagas even asked which Panji lover. That was because the Panji was Satya's incarnation in the past. Change girlfriends often.

But they seem to have a difference now. Panji who wants to get married and Satya who does not want to get married. Poor Siska's.

"Your beloved whose name is Inten?" ask Kenanga in doubt.

"Huh? Intel?" sela Bagas, failed to capture information.

Panji clucked, "His name is Intan and not that one. We broke up two months ago."

"Then which one?" kenanga Decak.

"His name is Sulu, she is very beautiful and educated. We had just been dating for a month when she decided on me unilaterally" Panji said sadly.

"Husband? What's that weird name?" kernit Bagas's.

"The real name is Suzanne Lusianne." Panji explained.

"And in the short Sulu?" tanya Bagas can't believe it. Panji.

"I think North Sulawesi." said Kenanga.

Bagas agreed, "I agree too. Thinking that Alfin's lover was a provincial name." chortly.

Panji clucked in annoyance, "That's Sulut. And this is Sulu. She's human, beautiful and charming."

"But his name sounds quite westernized. Is he a stranger?" ask Bagas.

The pennant nodded, "He's Austrian."

"Well, are you going to marry a stranger?" yangkana is skeptical.

"I don't care if he's a stranger or not, but I'm comfortable with him. She's different from most women I know."

Kenanga immediately screeched, "Lelaki. Same reason to melt the heart."

"I'm serious, Lieutenant." Reply Panji solemnly.

"So what's the reason you broke up?" ask Bagas.

"It's very narrow in his mind." decih Kenanga.

Hearing him, Panji sighed.

"You should have explained to him about the work of soldiers like us. Tell him every job always has its risks, don't focus on the army alone. And besides, there is already a death affair that regulates. Does every task go, we'll lose our lives?" clear Bagas.

Kenanga nodded in agreement, "If you want to find a companion, look for one that is thick in steel instead of tempe. And what did you say? Cool army uniform? Though to me the uniform is boring." - Kimpal Kenanga cuek.

"A variety of green-fried soldiers is deliberately a hallmark of our work. Try to imagine if the color is yellow or even pink, which we immediately shot by the enemy so little because of the striking color." added Bagas.

"You just tell Sulu Sulu that, if he's not ready to sacrifice for your love, retreat is the right choice. Go far away and don't come back." said Kenanga.

Panji shook his head, "I can say it when I want him to change his mind."

"The karma of a playboy is incredible." decak Kenanga.

Panji did not respond. He circled around, then his eyes were slightly rounded looking at the familiar silhouette that had just sat with a woman at the opposite table.

But Panji was silent. She doesn't feel good interfering with Alfin's show with her lover?

Then the waiter came to their table. The banner is back.

"What message do you want?" tanyakanya.

"Fried rice 1, spicy capcay stir fry 1. What do you want?" ask Bagas after mentioning his order.

"Chicken noodles and fried tempeh." reply Panji.

"How's letnan?" ask Bagas now to Kenanga.

"Oxtail and hot rice" replied Kenanga directly.

Bagas nodded, the waiter noted them one by one.

"His drink please orange juice only. All the water too." chimpal Panji.

"Well, please wait." said the waiter then left.

After the departure of the waiter, Panji decided to say hello to Alfin.

"Doctor Alfin."Call him. It's pretty close between his desk and Alfin's.

Kenanga was surprised to hear Panji suddenly calling out Alfin's name. He followed Alfin's line of sight and was more interested in finding Alfin with Amelia.

"Serda Panji, Captain Bagas and..." Alfin hung his words when his eyes met Kenanga's eyes. "Lieutenant Kenanga." he continued.

"A lunch with a girlfriend?" tanya Bagas nosy.

Kenanga snickered at the words of Bagas. Alfin was at a loss for his words. He glanced at the silent Kenanga with a flat look.

"No. He's my co-worker too. Her name is Doctor Amelia." Alfin explained. He then turned to Amelia, "This is Tim Rajawali part of Kopassus as well."

"Hello, I'm Amelia, Doctor Alfin's co-worker at the hospital" he said.

"Hello, Doctor Amelia." say hello to Panji and Bagas except for Kenanga.

"I didn't expect you to be soldiers, in the elite part of Kopassus anymore" said Amelia in amazement.

"Ah, it's normal." said Panji but still happy.

"Especially with Lieutenant Kenanga, I did not expect that you were a female soldier. It must be wonderful to have a wife as cool as you." continued Amelia smiled.

Kenanga smiled faintly, "Thank you and I think any job remains just as good."

"But it must be very difficult for the husband to know that his wife is an active TNI officer. Instead of being left behind by a husband, this is even a husband who was left behind. It must have been very hard for him. Especially if her career is more intense, there must be a sense of disheartening" said Amelia again.

The atmosphere was momentarily silent. Both Kenanga, Bagas and Panji felt bad to hear the words of Amelia who seemed to corner the female soldiers. So did Alfin who felt this was too late.

"Doctor Amelia, I believe that all work is honorable. After all, is it wrong if a woman has a career as a TNI? And a female soldier is also entitled to marry and feel happiness. If often left behind, then it has become a risk for the husband. When applying for office marriage, the prospective husband has been told what the risks are. And if they get to the marriage stage, then it means there is no problem objection anymore" said Kenanga calm down.

"A tough soldier like Lieutenant Kenanga would have chosen a husband who was cooperative with her work. An educated husband who can understand our devotion to the country." - Panji.

Amelia still smiled, "Then Lieutenant Kenanga wants what kind of husband? From the common people, "Amelia glanced at Alfin, "Or the military?"

"That's my right. Why are you so curious." said Kenanga.

"Although Lieutenant Kenanga could not get the husband she wanted from ordinary people, the men who chased her were also many military men." Bagas said.

Alfin looked at Bagas as a result of his firm and confident words. He somehow became suspicious.

"So Captain Bagas will choose a wife from the military as well because it looks like you are very supportive of him."

Bagas smiled then nodded, "I already have someone I like."

Panji nodded steadily while Alfin looked suspiciously especially when saying that Bagas glanced at Kenanga.

"Doctor Amelia must have had a lover, right?" tanya Panji tried to divert the flow of the conversation.

Amelia immediately nodded, "Yes, Alfin" he said looking at Alfin.

The outspoken statement was responded to a surprised appeal from Bagas, Panji and even Alfin. She had very little thought that Amelia would be as brave as it was to confess her feelings. Kenanga was silent.

"So there's something I want to ask you. Do you prefer to see snow inside your home or outside?"

Alfin frowned not understanding Amelia's question.

"What do you mean?"

"If it's snow in the house, it means you prefer all the truth about your relationship to be covered up either because of your wife or both. But if you prefer snow outside the house, where you will be recognized in front of many people who make you able to strengthen your status." explained Amelia. "What did you choose yourself?" tanyanya looked at Bagas and Panji.

"If I choose the outside. Why hide the relationship and just enjoy the romantic relationship in the back." said Panji.

"I am the same. If I had a partner, I would admit it in public. Announcing that the beautiful woman beside me is mine." added Bagas.

Amelia smiled with satisfaction, she looked at Kenanga triumphantly. Then he looked at Alfin.

"If you are, Fin?"

Alfin fell silent, the answer awaited many people who were curious.

And secretly Kenanga was also curious and quite hopeful.

"I chose..." Alfin hung his words. Kenanga looked at Alfin full of seriousness. "Pick inside the house." he said staring at Kenanga.

Amelia was surprised as well as Kenanga who did not expect Alfin would choose the opposite option.

"Why?" ask Amelia disappointed.

"The reason is simple, because I don't want to share it with the world" he continued to look deeply at Kenanga.

Kenanga was stunned by Alfin's words, because Alfin warmed her heart.

While Amelia stared bitterly at Kenanga whom Alfin defended.

***

Alfin who finished bathing and just came out of the room was immediately stunned to see the living room that was now chaotic.

"Snow! Huuu, Snow!" pekik Kenanga tossed the paper and the white tape into the air. Consider it snow.

"What is this mess?" ask Alfin in shock. He was still in front of his room.

Kenanga who noticed Alfin's presence immediately approached her.

"Snow, Fin. Wuush, haha." Kenanga looks different tonight. He is very cheerful, contrary to his personality.

Kenanga takes Alfin in circles. Their hair was blown by the artificial winter wind of the fan. Alfin who was initially confused was now relaxed and even laughed.

They kept circling around with the magical snow of Kenanga. Until they stop, their positions are facing each other just a moment.

"Why are you doing this?" ask Alfin.

"Just a fad." answered Kenanga indifferently.

Alfin smiled, his hands clutching Kenanga's waist until their bodies stuck together. Kenanga was shocked and awkward for a moment.

"Fin, let go" he said.

"Jawab first my question."

"As you say, you prefer to see snow at home. So I invite you to watch the live show." answered Kenanga at last.

"But is your answer serious?" ask Kenanga.

"Do I want to share you with the world?" Kenanga.

"Seriously. That's why I'm glad you did this."

It was Kenanga's turn to smile, "I'll do it again but it must be very troublesome to clean it up."

"Wait, me?" sela Alfin raised one of his eyebrows.

Kenanga nodded, "You said it yourself yesterday, boy. That you want to turn my word into me." - Kimpal Kenanga indifferently.

Alfin smiled broadly, "Thank you."

After saying that, Alfin's face suddenly approached. I kept quiet, not distancing her face.

"When you look around, your lips are beautiful" Alfin said. "And I'm glad that it's mine."

After that Alfin kissed Kenanga gently. At first Kenanga was silent, letting Alfin dance on her lips until over time Kenanga more and more lulled nirvana pleasure kiss Alfin.

He is good kisser. I remember admit that.

And in response, Kenanga draped both her hands to Alfin's neck, deepening their kiss.
