Waiting for the Love of the Country
S2 | Cold War

Never expect anyone to cross the ocean for you, if you do not want to pass through the water for yourself. Because in the end your selfishness will be awakened by loss. Learn to give up until no one can beat you. Learn to humble yourself until no one can humble you.

This morning before going to Malang, Indira and Dirga took the time to visit his nephew. They already know the problems that are now being faced by the older brother's household. At the beginning of the wedding, they had an amazing surprise.

Indira approached Elmira who was sitting in a doldrums beside her son. While Dirga went to Mirda's nursery to see her condition.

"Snack breakfast first, yeah. Dira cook vegetable soup ribs this morning, brother cobain ya!" indira Pinta. But Elmira shook her head, "Sister is not a laper, Dek. Later you will eat, ditaro aja dimeja," said Elmira without taking her eyes off the child.

Indira sighed, "Sister, if everything hurts who will take care of Ibam? At least if you do not think of yourself, thought Ibam! Dira knows Sister cape, Brother is tired! As well as everyone, we all also felt what Big Brother felt!"

Elmira cried when she heard her sister's words. "A selfish brother huh, Deck? Or you who do not understand the feelings of Brother. What's wrong if you don't want to use that illegal treasure? I don't want to, Dek!" lirih Elmira's.

"Honestly, that brother is too selfish. Everyone has to sacrifice for Brother, but Brother does not want to sacrifice even a little for them. Never feel the most hurt brother! Bang Mirda hurts more, Brother! If you do not want to use the treasure to do ngobatin Ibam, do you have another way?" indira asked and Elmira shook her head.

"O Brother Kekeh does not want to use the treasure, then be prepared to cry over the navel Ibam! I was afraid to miss the plane. Now whatever you want, Dira will never interfere! Assalamu'alaikum!" pamit Indira who was getting upset with Elmira's attitude.

Hearing her sister's words, Elmira wept even more. He looked at his son who was not yet conscious. He felt alone, he felt that no one understood his feelings.

While in the nursery of Mirda, now Dirga tried to persuade the sister-in-law to eat as well. But the answer they get is the same, "Later, Brother is not yet laper. Taro at the table, if you're a lager, you must eat!" he said with a blank look.

"Huf! You guys are really compact parents, Bang! Equally selfish! If you two are sick, then who will take care of Ibam? Ah, it's up to you, Bang! I said, my wife is waiting in front! Assalamu'alaikum!" pamit Dirga's.

Dirga's words slightly opened Mirda's heart, she tried to eat the vegetable rib soup brought by the sister. Even though to him, all of that felt bland. Mirda cried with tears on her cheeks, she remembered how well the child liked vegetable soup. "Baba kangen Ibam, son. Survive yes, do not let Baba live in regret for failing to save you, "inner Mirda.

During the day, Elmira still did not move from her seat. His face was already very pale, plus eye bags that looked blackened. Betrysda deliberately visited her best friend, after the husband said that they were involved in an argument.

Chequelek

Elmira turned her head, she slightly forced her smile upon seeing Betrysda enter. "God, God! Why are you so happy to torture yourself? Sa doesn't understand what's in your brain!" pissed Betrysda. She opened the lunchbox she had brought from home, with little force for Elmira to open her mouth to eat.

"How is Bang Mirda? Have you seen him?" lirih Elmira asked. Betrysda smiled cynically, "That's a mother you have a husband for what you care about her. You as his wife don't care, let alone someone else."

Again and again Elmira could only cry at the words of her best friend. Betrysda was so excited to see Elmira, she understood that Elmira needed a friend and a shoulder to lean on. He hugged the body of Elmira who was now crying bitterly.

"Listen El, that kind of attitude of yours is unjustified. Do you realize that if you've hurt your self-esteem you have a husband? He's disappointed El, Mirda didn't commit a crime. He's just wearing the treasure you have Papa. It's all for the sake of the child, not for the foya-foya. Do you ever think, maybe you have Papa that can predict your future. Until he leaves so many treasures, make peace with El. For the sake of having a child," Betrysda said, trying to advise Elmira.

In the afternoon, the condition of Ibam is decreasing. If Elmira had not been selfish, Ibam would have flown tonight to Singapore. Mirda who knew the condition of her son who returned the drop immediately went to her son's room. He saw that his wife and father-in-law, Betrysda, were crying and hugging each other.

Mirda approached the child's bed, she gently kissed his forehead. "Baba's son Abraham was a strong son. Hold on, baby! Baba dear Ibam, you are the world of Baba. How would you go if you left, son? Baba's world is dark" said Mirda, who could no longer hold back her tears.

"I agree Ibam was taken to Singapore" Elmira said, making them look at her for a moment. "Can we take Ibam now? I don't want to lose Ibam" she cried.

Elmira tries to get close to Mirda, she desperately needs her husband's embrace. "Thank you for allowing my son to use your money, I promise I'll change everything. My convection business has developed enough, so there's no need to worry if I can't return it" Mirda said with a flat face and cold.

At once Elmira felt like her heart was being hit by a thousand arrows. "Will you think about me, Bang? I'm sorry if I was too selfish, but you didn't give me a chance to think either. If only you said......."

"How can I say will you agree right away? Is it necessary to wait for my son to die then you understand?! I'm just someone Elmira can't afford. Therefore I wear the treasure given by your Father, you think too much negative thoughts to your biological parents. Until it closes your heart's eyes! If anything happens to my son, I'll give you back to your foster parents" Mirda said.

The deg!

The pain grew more painful, Elmira again cursed her own stupidity. "That's enough! Now can you make temporary peace for your child? What kind of parents are you?! The child is dying but thinking of his own feelings! Not the time for that! You must strengthen each other, not break!" bentak Bunda Gisya.

Ibam was ready to be flown, Baba Jafran and Ummi Ulil would accompany them. Likewise with Alan, everything will be taken care of by him. The atmosphere on the plane was gripping, they were all just silent without anyone talking anything. "Gatel is my mouth, Ca! It's not good for a cold war like this. Died also kaga entered martyrdom, mending kalo war in fighting for religion," whispered Ummi Ulil.

"How else, Lil! Your child who is used to the plot also suddenly does not want to make a sound," said Mother Gisya pointed at Alan with her chin.

This time Alan was really disappointed, he would only talk to Mirda and Fahri's father. "That you will go directly to the Hospital, I want to prepare your needs in the Apartment. Take it easy, this is using money from our efforts," said Alan.

Elmira's heart grew sicker, she didn't dare to speak. As well as Mirda, he just nodded. Their bodies and minds were completely exhausted, Elmira who was already tired suddenly became unconscious. "Mom! Awake, Mother! Sir! This is Miss Elmira fainted!" panic nurse.

Quickly, Mirda brought Elmira to sleep in one of the rooms on this plane. Sister has checked her condition, Elmira is dehydrated due to fatigue. "You two rest here, at least until your infusion runs out! I don't want to be denied!" firm Father Fahri.

Finally they were left to rest there, without realizing Mirda sleep hugging the body of the wife. However, his love for Elmira was immense. They slept long enough, Ibam was taken to the hospital. Elmira and Mirda are left with Baba Jafran on the plane.

Elmira blinked her eyes, she felt comfortable in her husband's arms. Not feeling his tears fall, he cried bitterly in the arms of the husband. "I'm sorry, Bang! I'm too selfish and selfish with my own feelings, sorry I Bang! Don't ever stay with me!" isak Elmira's.

Mirda hugged his wife, "I'm just disappointed, El. I am not a capable person, I do everything for you. Including missing in my duties as a state servant. Have you ever thought about my feelings, El?" lirih Mirda's.

"Sorry Bang, I'm sorry," sobs Elmira. "Have it, about our feelings lately. The most important thing now is the condition of Ibam. It looks like our plane has arrived" Mirda said as she let go of her embrace.

After removing the infusion, they immediately followed Ibam to the Hospital. At least then, they let go of their individual egos and put the fruits of their love first. Ibam's condition, which had worsened, now began to improve. They were a little grateful, at least Elmira took the right decision.
