Waiting for the Love of the Country
Chapters 16. Longing

Three sweet girls are daydreaming in Bandung Square Park. Sitting on synthetic grass, looking around. A lot of children running around, young couples are joking. Right now they were in the crowd, but their hearts were so quiet. Gisya who can walk back, asked his two friends to accompany him for a walk.

A month has passed, Gisya and Fahri meeting the last time is when Fahri bought his cake to be sent to his parents. After that day, Fahri never showed his nose.

"What am I really feeling? Bang Fahri and I have nothing to do. But why, I always expected his presence. Where's Bang Fahri? Why does my heart think about it? O Allah, give peace to my heart" said Gisya.

The same thing was felt by Febri, even though he knew what his lover's duty was like. But, still in his heart he always missed her. For almost 4 months they had not seen each other. This past month, Andi had no contact with him. That's the risk if you have a soldier's lover. Febri never regretted it, because he was sure that Andi would come to propose.

"Armghhh!!" furious Febri.

"Astaghfirulloh, the Ebi! Fortunately this heart is not dislodged, why the hell teriak!" yuliana.

"Yes, I almost poured my drink on you, Biw." added Gisya who was also upset.

"Kangen Mas Andi, he hasn't called me in nearly a month" Lirih Febri.

"Sama, I also miss Ayank Jafran. He's traveling around Asia now, really busy. Rarely contact me either. Does he have a new one there?" yuliana lethargic.

"Oh my God, even on that over thingking! Udah ah, we will come here his intention to heal! Not even make a giddy seven circumference," annoyed Gisya.

"Did you miss Bang Fahri?" ask Yuliana full of probes.

"I'm the same Bang Fahri no relation," said Gisya.

"You know kaleee! What I'm asking you is, you don't think he's the same?" ask Yuliana again.

"Rather than wondering what not, mending us ride the Bandros Bus! While enjoying the air of the city of Bandung in the afternoon," invite Gisya.

"Hayuukk, Cousss!" febri and Yuliana.

"I miss him, Lil. But do I deserve to miss him? It is only to God that I express my longing. Hugging it in a do'a." Inner Gisya

They forgot for a moment the longing in their hearts. Bandros bus takes them around Bandung City for 45 minutes. While passing the Gasibu road, Gisya recalls his accidental encounter with Fahri.

"I can walk again now, Bang." said Gisya in his heart.

On the other hand, four men dressed in black were stalking 3 girls who were walking around. They are Syauqi, Andi, Jafran and also Fahri. Andi has just finished the Joint Exercise with Fahri for one month. This makes them unable to communicate with their families. Currently they have time to vacation for 2 weeks, before returning to duty. Jafran also just got his cut ration. Which he will use to carry out his marriage with Yuliana.

"So these brothers purposely made me their CCTV?" Syauqi complained, because he was put into the third male group chat.

"It's just you that we can trust, Syauqi" said Jafran, who sat next to Syauqi.

"Udah was a spy, a driver. Fix this mah Uqi for high pay!" chirps Uqi.

"Just be calm, Uqi want anything we will surely kabulin kok!" said Andi.

Fahri is only speechless listening to their conversation, as his mind is being enveloped by the sweet girl in mint hijab named Gisya.

"Finally you can walk back, I really miss your sweet smile" Fahri said in his heart.

After boarding the Bandros Bus, they intend to return back to the Shop. While on the road, Febri's car tire deflated.

"Yes Allah, Ebi. Why did the car stop?" asked the panicked Gisya, they stopped in the middle of the road.

"I don't know, Ca. I think the car tires deflated, because the gasoline is full." explained Febri.

The car behind has been clawing at each other, the road becomes jammed. Yuliana and Gisya got out of the car, intending to push the car aside.

"Right! A lot of people are just on the geliatin, bantuin cake!" Upset Yuliana.

When Yuliana was nagging, suddenly there were 4 men who helped them push the car to the edge. The man, all of them, was wearing black and wearing a mask. Gisya started to get scared to see them.

"Thank you for helping us" said Yuliana.

However, the four men did not answer and immediately left. Gisya and Yuliana just pegged on the spot.

"Well, who did not leave?" ask Febri.

"Udah, yuk ah home! Horrified, the online taxi attendee, Lil." Gisya Pinta.

Yuliana also ordered a taxi online, while Febri's car will be taken by the workshop. The online taxis they ordered came a long time ago.

The men had arrived at Gisya's cake shop which they had decorated in such a way. Intention, today Andi will give a surprise for Febri. He's gonna propose to his heart girl.

"When are you going to open your heart to women, Ri?" ask Andi.

"I leave everything to God" replied Fahri.

"It was Bang! Relax, singles are an option, aren't they Bang?" syauqi said embracing Fahri.

"Sttts.. Those ladies are coming!" jafran said, who is monitoring.

When they came down, they were confused. There was a red carpet all the way to the store. Gisya opened the door, and the girls gasped in shock.

Andi walked up to Febri boldly, accompanied by a song.

At the end of this story

On the edge of your anxiety

I see your eyeballs

Beautiful, listen to me

I'm not as handsome as Don Juan

But right now 'I have no doubt

'I really asked you

Be my life partner

Be the mother of my children

I opened my eyes and fell asleep beside me

I'm not kidding around

Like any other man

The one I know

I'd like to propose to you

This 'Your rooming' song made the three girls embrace each other with teary eyes. When Andi was in front of Febri, he knelt down.

"Dinda, it doesn't matter how long we've known each other. Although our meeting can count fingers, but I have already steadied my heart for you. Will you be my Mother? Who has always supported me, been by my side, faithfully waiting for me and being the mother of my children?" andi said that made Febri increasingly sobbing.

"I can't" said Febri, who made Andi's heart beat. Likewise with Gisya and Yuliana who were shocked.

Andi bowed lethargic, his tears were no longer held back. His mind began to drift, probably because for a month he disappeared so Febri refused. Febri releases hugs from his two best friends, he crouches his body in alignment with Andi.

"I can't, I really can't Mas" said Febri who increasingly made Andi's heart grimace.

"I really can't refuse you Mas, I want to be your wife. I want to be your Persit mother and I want to be the mother of your children." added Febri.

Febri's words were like a breath of fresh air to Andi. They hugged each other tightly with tears on their cheeks.

"I miss you, Mom. I really miss you." said Febri tightened his arms.

"I miss you too, sorry I didn't tell you this month" Andi said.

"I understand, Mas. Wherever you are, my prayers are with you" said Febri.

It turned out that Andi and Febri's parents were inside, watching everything.

"Udah, ease his embrace! Not LEGAL! Look Umma has glared." said Mama Rini pointed at Umma Nadia.

"Sorry Umma, so long for it" said Andi who reflexively kissed Febri's forehead.

"Enak really ye you, maen kecap-kup aja! Ane aja yes who for years belom never nyuh nyipnya Ayank Ulil!" chirps Jafran.

"God! My forehead Sponge cake, use there nyicip-nyicip everything!" yuliana.

"Party Mas Andi maen nyosor! Halalin was woy!" yuliana.

"The name is also spontaneous, Lil." bela Febri.

"Spirited, spontaneous! Uhuuuyyy dong," jafran chirped.

Andi introduced her parents to Febri. They all enjoyed the impromptu show on that day.

While the others talk to each other and are full of happiness, but not with Gisya. He prefers to keep himself busy helping his employees prepare dinner for their families.

It was fortunate that in the Gisya Shop it had complete equipment. Gisya was very happy, it was just that his heart was still slightly injured. Remembering what happened in his past.

"Can you help me?" asked Fahri who whispered it in Gisya's ear.

"Astaghfirullah!" Gisya is shocked by Fahri's arrival.

"How are you doing Ca?" ask Fahri.

"Thank God be good, Bang." replied Gisya while busy arranging the food on a plate.

"Aren't you hearing about Brother?" Fahri.

"Abang must be fine, the proof is that Brother is here" said Gisya who is still focused on his cooking.

Fahri continued to look at Gisya longing, wanting him to express his longing. But his heartache left Fahri unable to do anything about it.

"Don't join the others!" bring Syauqi.

"Come join the others yeah, Ca." said Fahri.

Gisya ignored Fahri's words.

"Why does it feel like this? What's wrong with my heart? O Allah, seeing it well is enough for me." - Inner Gisya.
