Waiting for the Love of the Country
Chapter 41. Abandoned in charge

The sky this morning was a little cloudy, just like Gisya's mood. She recalled her conversation this morning with her husband. Gisya was preparing mentally for being left on duty by Fahri.

"So you're assigned to the Congo? Not to Lebanon?" ask Gisya.

"Dear, my dear brother was assigned there with Bang Dzikri and several other members. While Bang Kemal sent to Lebanon."

"Isn't that in the Congo a frequent Bang attack?" ask Gisya to worry.

Fahri saw the worry in Gisya's eyes, he began to hug and stroke his wife's head gently. Fahri gives Gisya an understanding of his duties.

"Abang was assigned to the United Nations Peace Forces. It is your duty and obligation to carry out the mandate of that task. Brother asks do'a Adek always, so that Abang can return to the Fatherland safely." pinta Fahri to the wife.

"Abang must return home safely! Adek will always wait for you to come home here. If you have time, you have to give word." isak Gisya in the arms of Fahri.

"Std.. Do not cry, Brother went only 1 year as a Contingent Garuda XX. Always pray Brother, wait for Brother to come home. InshaAllah we can get through everything dear." said Fahri calming.

When Gisya was cooking, he daydreamed too much. Not realizing that his cooking was burnt. Mama Risma who had been there since morning, was made shocked by the smell of charred and smoky stove.

"Astaghfirulloh, Caca. The food is burnt, baby!" yell Mama Risma.

"Oh Allah, I'm sorry Ma." said Gisya then turn off the smoke stove.

"Awwww!" gisya shouted as she touched the hot frying pan.

Fahri who was preparing his equipment gasped when he heard his wife scream. He immediately ran over to Gisya.

"Yes, dear God! Why don't you be careful, Dek." said Fahri while tasting his wife's finger without disgust. "Be careful, dear."

Gisya started sobbing and hugged Fahri tightly. Risma was able to understand her daughter-in-law's feelings. Because he had experienced it before.

"Udah take Caca break to the room, let Mama cook." said Risma.

Gisya walked by her husband, they dissolved in their minds. Fahri lays down Gisya's body, then kisses his forehead.

"It's so heavy leaving you, Dek." - Fahri.

"Sorry Adek yes, Bang. Now Adek is starting to cry." said Gisya sobbed.

"It's okay, brother understood. Moreover, our marriage is only a week, but Adek must remember the advice of Bu Danyon. The wife of a soldier must be strong and faithful waiting for the return of the husband. And I'm sure, Adek is capable dear." said Fahri.

Fahri and Gisya spend their time together today, as Gisya wants to satisfy himself with her husband. They go for a walk, have lunch together until Fahri accompanies Gisya to check out his Shop. Tonight Fahri's house is more crowded, Risma and Syifa stay there to accompany Gisya to release Fahri's departure for duty. Gisya kept tightly hugging her husband's body.

"You can continue to be rich gini, you can be there you can not sleep dear."

"Biarin, let Abang spit home" said spoiled Gisya.

"Duh, Brother is so bubbling. Can you ask for Brother's rights?" whiskey Fahri.

"Tonight Adek belongs to Brother, do everything you want" said Gisya.

"Don't be noisy, baby. There's Mama's Mother." whispered Fahri.

Fahri expressed a passionate taste in his chest. He wanted to get a power energy from his wife. It's very hard, but for the sake of the State's duty he has to do it.

"Cepet is here, baby." said Fahri to kiss Gisya's stomach.

"Aaminn, Dad." whispered Gisya.

After letting go of each other's homesickness, Gisya and Fahri sleep hugging each other tightly. Because tonight was the last night they slept together.

The voice of Adzan Fajr reverberated, Gisya and Fahri performed prayers together in their room. Gisya had already prepared the large Backpack that Fahri would bring. She prepared her husband's striped uniform, it felt really heavy. But Gisya strengthened himself. They had all gathered at Fahri's house, including Yuliana and Jafran. Gisya continued to cling to her husband.

"Ca, you're tacking on the same Fahri so rich in ductile feathers!" chirps Jafran.

"Gee! Basic men are insensitive! Naturally, we girls nempel same husband before leaving duty. I'm so mending left you to fly just a week 2 weeks, was the Caca lived a year, Ba! So reasonable dong!" yuliana was angry with her husband.

Jafran let out a long sigh, while the others were already laughing at the behavior of the two of them. But all of that did not reduce the restlessness of Gisya's heart.

Now they were all gathered at the Battalion Field. The Battalion Commander released about 50 soldiers to the Congo and 80 soldiers to Lebanon. They are members of the Garuda Contingent which consists of TNI AD, TNI AL and TNI AU.

"As a world peacekeeping force, the TNI carries the mission of the State. Whether from military, political, diplomatic or cultural aspects. Various assignments of TNI soldiers in world peace missions always reap success, including his approach to society in order to support the achievement of basic tasks. This unit during the course of performing the task there is no violation, and returns in a safe state all. Thus, one form of appreciation from the TNI leadership. Thus, the Battalion had the opportunity to carry out its operations in a UN peacekeeping mission in the Congo State for a Year. May all the soldiers perform this task well and return safely. Remember that! There are families waiting for your return to the Fatherland." said Battalion Commander.

All the families who delivered the errands, crying full of haru. Fahri asked permission from his mother.

"Devil Ma, Bun. Pray that you are healthy and safe. Take care of your Mom and Mom's health." Said Fahri while hugging his mother.

"We will always pray for you, son." said Risma.

"May you be healthy and return safely. Remember we were waiting for you." Syifa.

Fahri kissed the feet of his mother asking for his blessing. Then he said goodbye to Yuliana and Jafran. Fahri hugged Jafran tightly.

"I put my wife to your wife. Let them look after each other and strengthen each other. Be careful when flying, we pray for each other." said Fahri.

"Ah! You make ane like a mother! Pake says so all. Anyway you have to come back here safely." said Jafran with sobs.

"Pig! It will be sad for the Umminya." said Yuliana tearfully.

Fahri then approached his wife who had stood up agitatedly. He hugged his wife.

"Don't cry baby, strengthen yourself. I'm sure Brother's wife is a tough woman. Always pray Brother in your every bow. Take good care of yourself while you're on duty. You'll be home safely, wait for you to come home, baby." Said Fahri then kissed his wife's face in a row.

"InshaAllah Adek will take good care of himself, Adek will always be faithful waiting for the return of Abang. Come home safely, Adek will always pray for Brother in every prostration and exhale." said Gisya.

Fahri kowtowed, he kissed his wife's stomach and rubbed it gently.

"May you be here soon, Father's son." whispered Fahri.

Now Fahri has entered the TNI Truck that will take him off duty. Gisya continued to wave his hand with tears on his cheeks. Gisya flanked by his two mothers. They encourage each other and pray for each other.

"I will always be faithful waiting for you, my soldier." said Gisya in his heart.
