To You 2 (Greatest Love)
29. Preparation

The Rival motor is running as fast as possible. Rival wants to arrive soon so that Yara can rest comfortably at home.

An hour passed

Yara lowered her legs slowly from the high Rival motor. The pain spread throughout his body, especially the waist and stomach affected by the cow horn earlier. Yara who walked slowly was still difficult to balance her body.

Rival saw his wife in pain immediately lift Yara up after opening the door.

"Slow up, my whole body hurts my stomach hurts" Yara wrapped her hand around Rival's neck.

"What's wrong with your stomach, why is it that everything always leads to your stomach. I'll insure your belly that starts to expand so that I get rich quick" grumbled Rival with a feeling of unbearable.

------

Rival takes off Yara's hijab and changes her clothes, before long Rival returns to the room while carrying a basin and a small towel to clean the wounds and dirt on Yara's body. Not to forget the warm tea for my beloved wife.

Slowly Rival cleared the remaining blood from Yara's head. His heart grimaced. Occasionally Yara jolts because of her stomach pain.

"I'm sorry I didn't take good care of you"

Yara smiled withstanding her pain, Yara knew that at this moment Rival was very anxious.

"It hurts?? We're going to the hospital, right??"

"No need mas, this doesn't hurt anymore" forced Yara to lie to Rival.

"Drink this first to make your stomach better" Yara also drank tea brought Rival.

***

"You let it go today" Rival still saw Yara's pale face Monday morning.

"I've improved, even better"

"Don't stay away from me" Rival frowned at Yara's forehead still harboring worry.

-------

Preparatory visits were conducted and centered in the Battalion where Rival worked. Members of the other Battalions had already arrived for preparations and dirty gladi in the Battalion.

Rival eyes still keep watching Yara who is not too much activity. Yara is a little - a little sitting because it is not so healthy but Yara still guides the committee who need direction.

Several other Battalion buses and trucks were already present. There was the figure of the Captain who was also welcomed by the Battalion Commander. Rival felt that the figure noticed Yara who was welcoming the wife of another Battalion member since then and it made Rival's heart hot.

The gladi event in the room went well. The event was almost over, the figure that Rival saw earlier approached Yara.

"How are you doing deck?"

"Mas David?" yara's face paled at the man who removed the sunglasses in front of Yara, the man had been her lover once.

"Okay mas" Yara replied hesitantly.

"It turns out you're married, who's the man who won your heart?" a soft voice disturbed Yara's heart.

"How are you doing, David!" sapa Rival is stale.

"Well Val, is Yara your wife??" Rival slightly stiffened his body giving an answer.

"Ready bang.truly bang. Command permit"

David forced a smile, his smile so bitterly visible.

"No Val, take good care of him" David stepped up leaving Yara and Rival. Rival's eyes glanced at Yara who looked down while David looked glum. Rival reaches David's arm.

"No face like this in front of me bang and don't make me misunderstand even if it's just the past" said Rival.

"Don't misunderstand Val" David replied.

"If there's nothing, Yara's face won't be like this" Rival pulled a rough hand of Yara who turned out to be crying.

"Sick mas!" Yara took off Rival's hand.

"Don't cry over the other man before me" Rival said, not letting go of his hand.

"Don't be rude to him Val, I'm not talking about what happened" David said.

"I don't mind what happened between you guys, I just don't like the look on my brother's face when I see my wife, either.I don't like crying for other men from my wife's face"

"Sorry, I didn't mean it" Yara asked.

"Take Val off, even I never used to be rude to him"

"What did you say bang??? i'm rude??? Rival stomped releasing the grip of his hand.

"Ask Yara, when was I rude to her? have I ever hurt her physique while being my wife??" some people came out of the room to see there was a commotion inside the reception room.

"You didn't hurt Val physically, but now you're hurting her" David replied as calmly as possible. Rival was stunned to hear David's words that immediately stuck in his heart.

"Well you know Val until 32 years of my age, I'm still willing to celibate in order to wait for Yara, even I sincerely enjoy the life of dating Tony so that he learns the meaning of life widely, but I lost the news about her these two years and after I found out today she's married to you, I'm really sorry I was late to make her my wife" Rival really warmed to hear that heart, disbelief was eager to direct his hand to punch the senior.

Yara sees Rival's hand immediately blocking what might happen.

"I won't cry anymore mas, I won't repeat anymore" Yara who was as unwilling as to make her chest so tight. Yara has trouble breathing

"Dek.. are you claustrophobic? what's that hurting?" Rival holds Yara's body. David closed his eyes and decided to leave.

Yara leaned her body on Rival because she was unable to stand up.

"Mas, I'm going home. It all hurts" Pinta Yara.

"Dear, let's go home" Rival invites Yara home forgetting the restlessness in the heart, he prioritizes Yara rather than feelings that are not important.
