Waiting for the Love of the Country
Chapter 99. The Chandra story

Life is not always smooth, every exam comes and goes. Tonight, Fahri can't sleep. He kept thinking about how Elmira's life was going to be. They have spread the news of Quera's death, and now Quera, who has changed her name to Elmira, has to join Chandra for a while. Fahri also had discussions with his family, they gave two options. Elmira lives with Yuliana in Singapore, or lives with Fahri's parents in Palembang.

Gisya woke up in the middle of the night, he did not see the husband next to him.

"What's going on here?" ask Gisya who saw Fahri sitting daydreaming on the terrace.

"Eh Mother is awake? Laper or just want a drink?" fahri asked back.

"Hm.. Brother must have thought of Brother." said Gisya rubbed her husband's shoulder.

Suddenly Fahri pulls Gisya's waist, he cries while rubbing Gisya's enlarged stomach. Because next month, Gisya will give birth to his second child. Gisya gently rubbed the husband's head, he could feel what Fahri was feeling.

"It's all hard for all of us, Bang. But for the sake of Brother's safety, we should be able to make a decision." said Gisya.

"Abang is mandated to look after Brother, but Brother himself is not able to. Brother is afraid Abrafo is disappointed with Brother." said Fahri increasingly sobbing.

"Abang has done his best for Brother, we leave everything the same God. Man can only plan, only God determines the course of the Bang" said Gisya who joined in crying.

After feeling that Fahri was calmer, Gisya invited him to perform night prayers. They ask God for guidance about the decision they will make. Meanwhile, Elmira feels the same uneasiness when away from her Father and Mother. He couldn't fall asleep very fast.

"Princess why?" ask Chandra to Elmira.

"Sister miss Mother with Father." said Elmira.

"Patience yes, tomorrow we meet with Daddy Mother. Everything is for the sake of Brother." said Chandra stroked the head of Elmira wrapped in her hijab.

Elmira stared at Chandra, her beautiful eyes capable of hypnotizing everyone who saw her. Likewise with Chandra, from the first to care for Elmira he always felt calm when he saw the beautiful eyes of Elmira.

Chandra was a soldier who at that time took part in the task with Fahri in the Congo. But he's from a different division to Fahri, he's a Military Police. Chandra is non-Muslim, she is Hindu. And she is from Bali, her full name is Chandra Udayana Devandra. While babysitting Elmira she was 23 years old, and she is now 26 years old. He was already inducted into a Captain, and was named the youngest Captain. Thanks to all his achievements, he was able to become what he is today.

Two years ago, exactly a year after his stint in the Congo, he married a girl on the basis of an arranged marriage by his parents. A month after the wedding, they separated. Because Chandra knew that the girl who had been his rightful wife was pregnant. When the wedding took place, they met twice. Since then, Chandra has no intention of remarrying. He decided to devote himself only to the State.

When news broke of the Abrafo family searching for Elmira's whereabouts, Chandra was in Lebanon. After his task is done, Chandra decides to meet Fahri immediately. But when he arrived in Bandung, it turned out Fahri was in Jogjakarta. That day he rushed to meet Fahri.

Chandra looked at Elmira who was asleep in her arms, inexplicably Chandra always felt calm when she saw the innocent face of Elmira.

"I'm crazy to fall in love with you, Elmira. But your eyes, your smile can calm my restless heart. What is this feeling!" lirih Chandra's.

She put Elmira back to sleep in her bed, while she went out to breathe air that night. Chandra was sitting on the balcony of the hotel, where she was staying with Elmira. Chandra let out a breath that felt stifling to the chest.

"My life is only to serve my country. I was too carried away, how could I possibly fall in love with the little girl who deserves to be my daughter. I'm not a pedophile!" chandra said to herself.

This morning, Chandra woke up to the sound of Elmira whining.

"Om Chandra wake up! Let's pray dawn!" elmira wakes Chandra up.

"mmm.. Om Chandra does not pray princes." said Chandra clumsy.

"Usually Brother prayed at dawn with Mother's father." said Elmira held back crying.

"Sstt.. Don't cry, now you pray by yourself first. Later if you have met Dad and Mother New Sister praying with them, yes" said Chandra.

"Why is Om not praying? Mother said if not pray will go to hell." said Elmira had started sobbing. "So don't want Om Chandra to go to hell. Dear brother Om Chandra." he said again.

The deg!!!

Chandra's heart was pounding when he heard the 7-year-old girl's words. Chandra took Elmira into his arms.

"Don't cry, Om Chandra doesn't want to be sad. Now, Brother pray first. Later we go home to Daddy's house with Mommy." said Chandra.

"yes Om. Brother pray first dawn." said Elmira.

While Elmira was praying, Chandra ordered breakfast for them. After that he told Elmira to wear the clothes given by Gisya. A child's robe complete with a veil. Chandra was increasingly gasp at the beauty of the eyes that Elmira had.

"We have breakfast, brother! The same father Mother has been waiting, they miss Big Brother." said Chandra trying to take his mind off Elmira.

"Thank you, Om. Thank you for taking care of Brother." said Elmira innocently.

After breakfast, they return to Fahri's Office. Husain was very happy to be reunited with his brother.

"Where do you say! Ama angel!" husain was angry with his brother.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ain. You're not naughty when you don't exist?" ask Elmira.

"No dad! Ain't good, you're resourceful!" husain answered while hugging Elmira.

"Good Boy!" elmira ruffled her sister's hair.

"Grandpa Ain, anti-Cyla and vinegar!" husain was angry with his brother.

"So what's your decision about Elmira?" ask Chandra.

"We still think about it, at least let her be with us until the mother gives birth. After that, we will make the decision for sure." said Fahri.

"May your decision be the best path for Elmira" Chandra looked at Elmira with a loving look.

As a mother, Gisya could see a different gaze from Chandra on Elmira.

"Om Chandra when are you back on duty?" tanya Gisya spread Chandra's gaze.

"Later in the afternoon I will return to Jakarta, maybe I will return to Lebanon again" Chandra said with a bit of nervousness.

"I've heard the story of Om Chandra, don't be traumatized in relationships. Because every life story is different, for example me and Bang Fahri. We are both betrayed, and can finally live happily like this" said Gisya.

"Let's just say I'm the best for me, ma'am" Chandra said.

Fahri said goodbye to the morning apple. Gisya resumed his talk with Chandra about Elmira.

"It seems, Om Chandra loves Elmira very much" said Gisya.

"Since I first took care of Elmira, I've been in love with the little girl. Her eyes are able to nourish my heart and soul" Chandra said honestly.

"Love knows no age, Om Chandra. Likewise with a soul mate, who knows Elmira is a soul mate who is destined for Om Chandra" said Gisya who made Chandra jerked in shock.

For a moment they were silent in their minds.

"I don't think that's possible, Ms. Fahri" Chandra said laughing sarcastically.

"Lho why? We never know what God's destiny is. As a mother, I could see a different look from Om Chandra towards my daughter" Gisya said.

"Was Mother Fahri going to allow Elmira to marry me someday?" chandra asked still with a forced laugh.

"I will not be able to fight against God's Destiny, whatever it is. If you're meant to be together, why not?" gisya.

"Too big of a difference we have, Ms. Fahri. Starting from the distance of age and confidence. I think this feeling is just a parent's feeling for their child" Chandra said.

After the conversation was over, Chandra decided to return to Jakarta. He approached Elmira who was playing with Husain and Cyra.

"Princess, Om Chandra said yes! Brother Haru became a smart and proud child Father and Mother" said Chandra stroked Elmira's cheek.

"Why don't you stay with my brother? Why go home?" lirih Elmira's.

"Om should be a duty like Father, Brother. Om is also the same as Father Fahri, one day if there is a definite time Om here to meet Brother." said Chandra.

Elmira hugged Chandra, she loved Chandra very much.

"Be careful, Om. Promise Om to come here again." said Elmira with a cry on her cheek.

"Yes Om promise." said Chandra wipe away Elmira's tears.

"Be careful Om Chandra, good luck to the destination. May Om Chandra be given happiness by God. Remember my message, don't close Om Chandra's heart just because of the past. And don't forget what I said." said Gisya patting Chandra's shoulder holding Elmira. Chandra nodded in understanding.

"Thank you, Fahri, I'm taking Elmira. I hope he will always be happy" Chandra said.

They drove Chandra until his car was out of sight. Febri then approached Gisya who continued to look at Chandra's departure.

"Don't tell me what I think is the same as what you think" Febri said.

"You really are, Biw. Let's just see what God's destiny will be like." said Gisya.

"For Ca, too great is their difference. Was ah! Hayuk's in! Mother of the same Ina make seblak. We'll enjoy it, let's get them here!" febri.

A love that is hindered by age and belief differences will be able to be united someday?
