Waiting for the Love of the Country
Chapters 27. Surprising News

After the Application Event yesterday, this Sunday Risma wants to invite prospective daughters-in-law and friends to go for recreation. Risma wanted to spend her time having fun with them before returning to Palembang. Unfortunately, Fahri could not participate because he would be on duty today.

"Are you really not coming with us, Bang?" ask Risma for the umpteenth time.

"Yes, Ma. Brother has a task today with Danki. Brother tipped aja prospective wife, afraid someone nyolek in the street."

"Hush! You think Mama's future daughter-in-law is soapy, put it on the makeup of everything!" pissed Risma.

Today the plan is they will go to Lembang, they want to spend time to enjoy the cool atmosphere. Syauqi drove a car carrying young children, while Hari carried a car containing mothers. They really are remembering their time.

"Inget not siih we used to go around here using your Papa car, Ris. Sampu didn't dare to go home because the police called." Rini.

"Hahahaha, yes! Very stubborn yes we used to be, until going far did not say parents. As a result of coming home ears directly rich ears of Elephant." Risma.

"But bandit mom turned out to be young. Tell me how my wife behaved in the past." pinta Hari.

They remember their behavior in school, then they just look at each other and laugh.

"There was so much of our old ridiculousness. You want, it used to be so silly we went on a bus for a walk to Bandung Square. But once there, we are just surabi snacks wrapped and then back home. Take the same bus again! The conductor doesn't believe in us. It's thought we're a bunch of kids who love nyopet!" Nadia's Story.

"I am so ashamed of that, the five of us are already rich suspects in the same interrogation of the conductor. Fortunately, it was helped by mothers who said that she knew our parents. Well that's what we used to be." added Lia.

"Wuih y'all are so ridiculous first! Hahahaha, I found the ridiculous part of my wife's life." said Hari.

A different atmosphere is felt in the cars of young people. Fabian, who kept asking Syaina to speak, made Syauqi feel annoyed. It felt like Syauqi was silencing their mouths, but it felt impossible.

"The world is really narrow, so you guys are Junior High?" ask Gisya.

"Yes Teh, Ina used to live in Palembang. But since Mom died, Ina same Dad chose to go back to Bandung. I don't want Ina alone, because Dad is his job to go and go." replied Syaina.

"But your father never hit you again, did he?" ask Fabian.

"Emm, no Bian." replied Syaina hesitatingly.

They were all stunned to hear Fabian's question, because several times Gisya had seen bruises on Syaina's face and hands. But Syaina always said that it was an injury because she had fallen. Syauqi also felt that the girl was hiding something. Syauqi decided to find out for himself the background of the girl.

After arriving at Floating Market, they went on a culinary tour and took a walk there. They enjoyed the time together, until a shocking news came from Febri who suddenly cried hysterically and fainted.

"Febriy!!" yelled Gisya and Yuliana.

"Why are you crying Biw? Tell me what are we doing?" ask Gisya.

Febri was still crying hysterically, then she was unconscious.

"What's this about? Why did Ebi faint?" ask Mama Rini.

"I don't know, Ma. She opened her cell phone, suddenly crying and fainting." Yuliana.

Gisya took Febri's phone, how shocked Gisya was to read the message sent by Serda Rizal.

⁇ ️ Serda Rizal

Assalamualaikum, I'm sorry to say before. But I have to pass this message on to Mbak Febri. Currently Lettu Andi is declared missing while helping to evacuate victims of the Avalanche disaster. We ask for his prayers for Lettu Andi, hopefully he can be found soon and in the Evacuation. Strengthen the heart of Mbak Febri, because Lettu Andi does not want Mbak sad. Pray for him Ma'am.

"Innalillahi wa inna ili rojiun" said Gisya sobbed.

Everyone looked at Gisya, they wondered with the intent of Gisya's words. He was speechless, he just gave the phone to them.

Truly speechless, Febri was taken to a nearby clinic for treatment. Gisya keeps contacting Fahri, but it looks like Fahri didn't have his phone with him.

However, Andi's parents none of them raised him. Then Hari called one of Andi's superiors there, it was true that this time Andi was declared missing. Possible buried by a subsequent landslide. Gisya and Yuliana cry cuddling, they both witness the love of Febri and Andi.

Not long after, Febri woke up from his stupor.

"Mas Andi." Lirih Febri's.

"Please baby, Mama's son is strong." Mama Rini hugged Febri.

"Mama what the hell, Ma! Andi's just missing, not dead!" shouts Febri.

"Istighfar, Son. Relax, everything will be fine."

"Ca, Lil. Please contact whoever is there. Ask Mas Andi's whereabouts, please help me." pinta Febri.

"We'll find out Biw again, but please calm down." said Gisya hugging Febri.

While in Magelang, the atmosphere is gripping. Landslide incident in one village resulted in many casualties. At that time Andi got the task to help in evacuating disaster victims. But who would have thought that the next disaster was coming. Andi along with several members of the Basarnas Team and the Police who were trying to evacuate the victims were dragged along.

"Lettuuu!!!" shouted Serda Rizal.

All of them there decided to retreat, in order to reduce the loss of more lives.

It's been 2 days, but Andi hasn't been found yet. Febri decides to go directly to Magelang, she is accompanied by Gisya and her parents. This is a nightmare for them. Supposedly, today Febri will face Pangdam unity Andi to conduct a marriage submission interview. Gisya was always beside Febri, he was afraid that Febri would do something reckless.

"Biw, let's head back to the inn, yuk! Tomorrow we come back here to find Mas Andi. It's noon, you haven't eaten anything from morning either." Gisya asked.

"I still want to wait for Mas Andi, Ca." replied Febri blankly.

"Excuse me Ma'am, please stay away from this area. A disaster could happen." Pinta Rizal's.

"Zal, you promised me I would take care of Mas Andi. Why do you break Zal's promise? Why did you let Mas Andi go?" isak Febri's.

"Thighfar Biw! We can't blame anyone, it's God Biw's destiny. We cannot deny the destiny that God has given us, nor do we want to see you like this. Be strong Biw, you must be strong for Mas Andi."

Gisya continued to hug Febri tightly and strengthen him. However, Febri's body was completely weak. His physique and mind were so tired that he had to faint many times.

Rizal helps Gisya carry Febri's body towards the relief post. There Febri gets treatment again. Even his body had to get the infusion because it had been 2 days Febri did not eat. Actually, even now Gisya is worrying about Fahri, because her future husband is also away on duty and has not been informed until now. Even Fahri may not have heard the news about Andi's disappearance.

In his sleep, Febri dreams of Andi. He saw Andi wearing his great clothes, Loreng clothes that he used every day. Andi approached Febri and hugged him.

"Mas, don't stay with me. I can't lose you, Mommy."

"Dinda dear, I will never leave you. I'm always in your heart, please Dinda don't be like this. Being the wife of an officer it must be strong! I'm sure Dinda must be strong. Forgive me for not being able to keep your promise, you have to live happily. I'm sorry, dear Dinda."

"Don't let go of this hug Mas, don't stay in Dinda, Mas."

Slowly Andi let go of her embrace, she smiled and waved her hand.

"Mas Andii!!!" yelled Febri who woke up straight from his sleep.
