To You 2 (Greatest Love)
90. Mentally Strong

Several members pressed Rival's chest several times. There hasn't been any reaction. Rival's unopened eyes felt a chill all over his body, the smog covering his entire vision.

"Why are you here?" ask a girl while holding a little boy.

"Father miss you dear" Rival hugged the princess who appeared in his shadow.

"Can't pa, the sisters and mama are waiting for papa there" his daughter refused.

"You'll be alone, son"

"No, Dad, I'm happy here. I'm with my sister here quietly because papa and mama always reward me with do'a" said the little princess holding the baby boy.

"Look, my sister is sick there. Papa must go home, pity mama" pointed the girl towards the sky pointing at the silhouette of a weak breathing baby boy with an unhealthy state. Rival looked down doubtfully, at his hearing the voice of people alternately calling his name, on the other hand there was the sound of Yara crying.

"Go home, someday we will meet.. "

The shadow of the two children disappeared along with the cold mist that was beginning to fade. Rival felt pressure on his chest.

------

The officers pressed his chest even stronger so he could open his eyes.

"Let. can hear my voice. Try opening Let's eyes" unpretentious voice woke Rival up.

"Yara's.. Yara's.....Yara.." he said until his eyes opened perfectly and was able to watch the rest of the debris not far from where it was realized now.

flashback off

"Well, is it okay?" ask Yara with her eyes.

"Hopefully darling. I'm sorry I haven't completely forgotten what happened yesterday" replied Rival.

"I understand mas" Yara replied, leaning her head against Rival's shoulder. Rafael who became their driver at that time also felt the blue day because he knew exactly some of the events that Danki had experienced.

Rival along with several other members in several cars visited the funeral home. The aura of sadness was still thick. The scent of flowers circled between their steps. Yara flanked tightly onto Rival's arm.

The sound of crying was still clear, probably since yesterday. Rival delivers a box of baby clothes that the late Afrizal bought.

"Mom Afrizal. I offer my deepest condolences for the passing of the late Lettu Afrizal. I handed over the deceased's last message" Rival handed the big box over to the late wife Afrizal.

Lettu Afrizal's late wife received the box and opened it. Baby boy clothes as wanted by the deceased. The cry of the deceased's wife sounded sickly along to slash Rival's heart. He could not bear to also fret about Yara who embraced the wife of the deceased.

Suppose I see you in this position again. Maybe I asked my spirit to be destroyed, because when my life was still here.Seeing you cry was like hell for me.

Rival removed the clear granules in the corner of his eye. He crouched down to help his deceased wife sit on the wall.

"May I hold mother's stomach?" ask Rival be careful of the deceased's wife. The deceased's wife allowed it.

Rival holds the stomach of the deceased's wife. There's a tight move in there. Rival is getting sad for him. A 29-week-old baby would have to be an orphan.

Rival's voice was so melodious heart-wrenching reading the Letter of Joseph and the Letter of Mariam made the mourners drift in their own feelings.

"The strong, son, your father really wants the best for you, he loves you very much. Later remember your father also perfected the name of the nation. Let only the name remain, but in your blood flow strong the soul of a soldier"

Rival stood up already could not bear to see the many drops of tears in the room. Rival takes Yara out of the room, not wanting Yara to get late in the atmosphere.

"Mas is feeling better" asked Yara in a still unstable state of heart.

Yara hugs Rival in the car. Rival returned the hug possessively and finally Rival began to cry.

O Allah, if I may still ask, Fill up our household, keep away from all trials and dangers. I love this woman so much, too, the child You have given us in our midst.

"I'm fine, mas. It is calm yes. Mas can continue the task calmly, I will patiently wait for you back" Yara's sincere smile on Rival.

"Yes deck. Thank you for all your understanding"

For a man, a woman's smile is an encouragement, strength and a conviction to sustain a decision.

At night David takes Indira to meet Rival and Yara at home. Indira and Yara chatted inside the house to make it more relaxed. David and Rival chat on the porch.

"Sorry to see you now. How's your condition?" ask David.

"Casual bang!! Alhamdulillah as you can see, I'm fine" Rival's face hue already looks more relaxed.

"Afrizal asked me to change places. If at that time I go up first. Maybe I'm currently coming home with a bang name" explained Rival.

"God's destiny cannot be denied Val"

"Is Yara better now?" david's curiosity made Rival start to smile.

Brother is my wife's most beautiful ex.

"Yesterday was unconscious. I decided to go home to see his condition. My son is also poor. I really want my son. I can't bear to see Yara's condition like that"

"It's a difficult choice in our lives" David answered.

"Clearly bang!! If it goes on, I'm not strong bang. My wife is in her worst mental state. One time the experience has not been completely erased, it has to accept this bitter thing again. Soldiers are human too, having a heart and conscience. It's about family bang. about daughter wife. I could not have gone home. But what is my responsibility as a husband? My wife needs me"

David nodded confirming and placed his position on Rival's position if this happened to him.

They were silent for a moment until David remembered something.

"Huustt.. Val, Indira is pregnant" whispered David.

"Waahh.. seriously bang? Very quickly Brother finish" Rival's eyes bulged.

David patted the chest arrogantly.

"What can't Captain David do?"

"Cckk.branch here just to brandish arrogance?? Yep.. Believe me bang. Finally, the business of Brother during the night fruit sweet as fast as this"

"But why is Indira strong and not nauseous at all? Is something wrong?" surprised David.

"The condition of every woman is different bang! My brother is grateful. If it's like Yara, it's hard. We are also worried half to death. Enjoy the process of being a father"

David was stunned to understand Rival's explanation.

"I think it might be better this way Val" David nodded confidently"
