Waiting for the Love of the Country
Chapter 39. Wife Pride

Currently Gisya is already in the House of the Company Commander, complete with his Persit uniform. The plan is to make a cake for the Battalion Commander Mother who is birthday today. Gisya is already very familiar with some of its members, especially with Indri. She was the nurse who took care of and accompanied Gisya while in the Hospital.

"Ijin Bu Danki, I will make fruit pudding for Bu Danyon" Bella said.

"By, please Miss Kemal. The more who make food, surely Bu Danyon the more happy." said Fatimah kindly.

Gisya is currently making cake batter, she is assisted by Indri and Andina. Bella makes her own pudding. He refused to help anyone. Finally they help Gisya to finish a special birthday cake for their boss. Bella thieved at the sight of Gisya, it did not escape the sight of Fatimah.

"Bu Fahri, how long did you learn to make cakes?" ask Andina.

"Already since Junior High Bu Dzikri, Mother used to run the Shop. But ever since Dad died, I've continued." replied Gisya kindly.

"Well, that's great, Ms. Fahri. It's worth it now Om Fahri looks fat, apparently his wife is good at spoiling the tongue of the husband." praise Andina who makes Bella even more upset.

Bella has finished her pudding, now the pudding is stored in the refrigerator to quickly solid. While Gisya was still waiting for his cake to ripen, and was ready to be decorated. They talked, talked about the life of a soldier's wife.

"I used to feel a sense of loss. At that time Danki was assigned to Ambon, where he did not contact me for the first time. Worry is certain, because there is a riot that causes casualties. Danki tried to help the victim, they were twins. Unfortunately, when they arrived at the hospital, the two children died. Until now Danki regretted, because he had not had time to apologize to the victim's family. He constantly blames himself for being late to help the twins. Until now he often saw the photos of the last two victims taken." said Fatimah.

"Please Bu Danki, what are the twins in question are these 2 children?" gisya asked while showing a photo of his two nephews. Fatimah gasped in surprise.

"MashaAllah, does Ms Fahri know these two children?"

"Ijin Bu, they're my two nephews. Uwak I also used to try to find soldiers who had tried to save their daughter. But unfortunately, Uwak I did not find it. I think Uwak I would be happy if I could meet Danki" said Gisya who was given a hug by Fatimah.

"MashaAllah Gisya, I am grateful to know you. Mas Gilang must be happy to meet them. Mbak wants Mas Gilang not to continue living in guilt, thank Gisya" said Fatimah with non-formal language makes Bella upset.

"Together with Ms. Danki, maybe it has gone like this" said Gisya.

The cake that Gisya made was ripe, he was currently decorating it. Others are wrapping gifts for Bu Danyon. Bella approaches Gisya, she deliberately nudges the hand of Gisya who is decorating the cake.

"Astaghfirulloh Bu Fahri, why not be careful? That cake is such a mess! We don't have time anymore!" bella said in a high tone.

They all approached Gisya and Bella.

"What's Miss Kemal?" ask Fatimah.

"Ijin Bu Danki, Ms. Fahri is not careful. Look at the cake decoration so messy, our time is not much" said Bella fiery.

"Can you do this, Ms Fahri? How'this?" ask Fatimah to panic.

"Please ma'am, I'm sorry I wasn't careful. InshaAllah the cake is fine. Another 10 minutes are also finished." replied Gisya relaxed without burden.

Sure enough, now Gisya proves the ability he has. She changed the messy cake so beautifully. Bella gawked at him, her dislike growing. Gisya just smiled looking at Bella's facial expression.

"Wah Bu Fahri is amazing. If we have a race between companies can win this Bu Danki" said Andina praised Gisya.

They are currently on their way to the Hall, where a meeting is being held to determine the departure of the soldiers. Gisya walked gracefully beside Andina while carrying the birthday cake she made. They're giving a surprise to Ms. Danyon.

"MashaAllah, Thank God. I would like to thank all the members for remembering the day of my birth." said Mrs Ratih, wife of the Battalion Commander.

"Please Ma'am, we are very happy to be able to celebrate my mother's birthday together. May the mother be given health, long life and happy always" said Fatimah.

Bu Danyon starts blowing out the candles and cutting his cake. He was stunned to feel the Birthday cake which he thought had a different taste.

"Who made this cake Mrs Danki?" tanya Bu Ratih with a face that is difficult to interpret. Gisya began to tremble, he was afraid it felt disappointing. While Bella smiled cynically, she was sure that Gisya would be humiliated.

Unexpectedly, Bu Danki approached Gisya and hugged Gisya.

"This is the best birthday cake for me. Thank you Mrs Danton." said Mrs Ratih.

Fahri smiled watching his wife who was praised even to the point of being embraced by his Commandery wife. He was proud of Gisya.

"What is the recipe? Please teach me later yes, Mrs Danton."

"Mother's Ijin, I wear low-calorie flour and sugar. Because my husband told me that you have a history of high blood sugar. So this cake is safe for Mother and Father to consume." replied Gisya nervously.

The Battalion Commander and his wife were getting more and more amazed at Gisya. In the past when applying for marriage, Gisya had made both of them feel proud of Gisya's answer. And now they are getting proud.

"Bu Danton is indeed the best choice wife, Fahri must be very proud to have you. Isn't that Lettu Fahri?" ask the Battalion Commander.

"Ready! It's true Danyon." Fahri replied.

An upset Bella approached her husband, envy had indeed filled her heart. Gisya never offended him.

"You see that woman is very smart to look for face, Mas!" pissed Bella.

"Don't do that! Is there a problem are you the same Bu Fahri until that?" furious Kemal.

"He's good at face-to-face, I don't like it!"

"So your attitude! If you don't want to be in trouble!" kemal.

Many times Bella has put Kemal in trouble, his words and his disrespectful attitude made Kemal summoned by the Battalion Commander. Because it is his duty the wife of a State Servant must speak words and be polite.

Fahri and Gisya are home. After finishing Isya prayer, they chatted while hugging each other.

"How proud, Adek can scent the name of the husband." Fahri.

"It is the duty of Adek to keep the good name of Brother. Oh yeah, Bang. Miss Kemal, what's the problem with Adek? He almost broke a cake that Adek made." Gisya Lirih.

"Bella is so, even her husband is often rebuked because of his attitude" said Fahri while stroking his wife's hair.

"Oh Allah, Adek was also astonished to know Bang. How is he that attitude, want Adek soin corn cake!" geram Gisya's.

"Being the wife of the Army, must keep the attitude and good name of Dek's husband. If not, it could be like Kemal his fate. It's hard to get up in rank." Fahri.

"Adek always remembers the advice of Bu Danyon, Bang. The soldier's wife should speak a kind and polite word. Indeed, a good wife may not necessarily be able to raise the rank and position of husband, but a wife who is considered not good by the superior can influence the command over in determining the position of husband."

"Alhamdulillah the wife of a clever brother. Now we make the next generation smart and intelligent like Mother and Father." teased Fahri.

Finally they do the hot activities that every newlywed couple always wants. (Happy traveling for Reader 😜)
