109. Failed Focus

After the reception, Gama takes Lilian to the hotel that has been booked before.

" Why go to the hotel anyway, at home you can," Lilian protested when they arrived at the hotel lobby.

" It's our first night, honey. I want a different place and atmosphere to make it memorable for us to remember old until later. And I don't want anyone to bother us. Do you know what Rex is ?. He must be looking for a way to mess up later..," said Gama while hugging Lilian's waist with posessif.

" But darling..," Lilian's words were interrupted because Gama had melu**t her lips gently.

Gama stopped his action as the elevator door that led them to the fifth floor opened. Then Gama swiftly carried Lilian and led her to their bridal room.

Lilian looked in amazement at the decoration of her bridal room. Both of his eyes were glazed.

" Do you like it, honey...?" whispered Gama behind the wife's ear.

" Likes. Thanks Darling..," said Lilian while peeking Gama's cheek quickly to make Gama smile wide.

That night Gama and Lilian shared their love and sweat. The sound of moans filled their bridal rooms.

" I want only I'll hear your first screams, my dear." Gama said during their hot romance.

" So you knowingly knew this would hurt and make me scream...?" lillian asked annoyedly but made Gama laugh.

" Yes..," said Gama while continuing to spur his body.

After a grueling battle the two lay side by side.

" Thank you for taking care of him for me, dear.", said Gama while peeping at his wife's forehead.

Lilian nodded with a smile. Then the two looked at each other with loving eyes.

" I love you Lian. I don't know since when, but this is the greatest taste I have for a woman. Please don't leave me because I don't know what my life is without you" Gama said solemnly.

" We're married, do we still need to keep fighting...?" lillian asked with a funny face.

" It's up to you to say. But I will continue to say it..," said Gama as he kissed Lilian's lips.

" I'll admit something, too. You're the only guy who makes me sleep tight. Which always makes my heart pound with your spare change," Lilian said with a smile.

" Even when you hear it, you always put on a jutek look...?" asked Gama while bringing his face closer to Lilian's face.

" I'm sorry, honey. I thought you did it to other women too, so I get upset whenever you seduce me.." - Lilian said shyly.

Lilian's confession made Gama laugh. He pulled his wife into his arms while showering her with a kiss.

" I must admit, being close to you makes the treasury of words that I have abundant. Though usually I don't need to talk much, the women will come after me. But you're different, honey, I don't know why. And when you were my wife, I just understood something" Gama said.

" Understand what...?" lillian asked as she looked up to look at her husband.

" Understand if you are the one where I will complain, sharing my joys and sorrows. That's why I can say many things without being awkward" said Gama while looking at Lilian gently.

Gama's words moved Lilian. He put his arm around her neck and landed a sweet kiss on Gama's lips.

Rex's departure time arrived after three days Gama and Lilian held a wedding reception.

" You said it's still a week or ten days to go Rex." Lilian protested with a frown.

" His name is also the army, must be ready when to be tasked Kak. Lucky I left three days after Brother's wedding. If I leave three days before you get married, I might not be considered a child later. Yes, yes..," said Rex while pursing his lips.

Rex's words made everyone who heard him laugh.

" It's Gapapa Darling. Do not burden Rex with negative thoughts so that he can smoothly carry out his duties later. You don't have to worry, I'm here now" Gama said, hugging Lilian from behind.

" Ehm.., can be conditioned ga hugs him. There's still people here, '" Rex said.

" Tau nih Gama. It's not the same with Rex. Still single but loved to see the sweet scenery continues. Make an eye. Isn't it Rex...?" ask Mira while whining.

Rex blinked his eyes because he was confused to respond to Mira's words earlier. For a moment he felt that Mira was supporting him but the next second Rex felt that Mira was making fun of him.

" I mean Mama how the hell. Again ngbully Rex or even more angry Gama...?" ask Gondo while laughing.

" Eh, yes Pa. I'm confused too. I mean to support Rex but really impressed bullied ya..," said Mira while scratching her head that does not itch.

Mira's words suddenly make laughter re-echo at Gondo's house.

After finishing packing Rex hugged everyone one by one. Among them only the most visibly heavy Lanni let go of Rex. But Ramon's swipe on his wife's back resuscitated him.

" Go away, son. We are proud of you.." whispered Lanni as she shed tears.

" Yes Ma'am, thank you.." said Rex while kissing the mother with affection.

Afterwards Rex set out on a taxi to his unit where his troops waited. As usual, Rex does not want to be escorted by anyone because Rex does not like to be released with a cry at the airport as experienced by his colleagues.

" Those tears make me fail to focus" Rex said whenever asked why he refused to be escorted to the airport.

Rex and his colleagues arrived at Soekarno-Hatta airport as the clock showed at eight p.m. They left for Africa using aircraft belonging to the TNI AU. Together they also participated some medical personnel and teachers who will help the recovery of residents later.

Unbeknownst to Rex, a pair of eyes were watching his movements intensely. The owner of those beautiful eyes was the doctor Aksara. He was among the delivery group who drove his colleagues to Africa.

" You go too Captain. May you and all of you safely get there and come back in good health wal Afiat and nothing less. Aamiin..," inner doctor Aksara while biting her lips.

For some reason, there was a tear drop on her cheek as she was about to let go of Rex. No one knew the cries of Doctor Aksara because at that time he and his team wore masks on his face.

At the same time Rex turned his head because he felt that something was forcing him to look the other way. It was then that his gaze met the gaze of the Aksara doctor. Although their distance was very far, Rex could confirm if the woman wearing the white snelli mask and suit was an Aksara doctor.

Rex knew that the Aksara doctor was not included in the entourage because all members of the entourage wore special attributes.

Rex stepped closer to the health team that was leaving and greeted Aksara doctor.

" You're here too doc...?" greet Rex in a friendly manner.

" yes. I drove a colleague who was going to leave for duty.," said Dr. Aksara.

" Who...?" asked Rex to make Aksara doctor frown confused.

" What do you mean, Captain...?" ask doctor Aksara.

" There are some male doctors and nurses who are going to the dock. Who are you driving...?" ask Rex.

" Everything..," said the doctor Aksara quickly to make Rex smile thinly.

Suddenly a whistle sounded and Rex rushed to join his comrades. Previously he turned to the direction of Aksara doctor with a smile.

" I go first Doc." said Rex as he ran.

" Yes, be careful, "said the doctor Aksara was shrivelled but still heard by Rex and made him smile widely.

Ten minutes later the plane took off from the airport.

Inside the plane Rex looked to lean his body while closing his eyes. After praying Rex opened his eyes and stared out the window.

" I tried to avoid it, I ended up trying too. Richly this time I will fail to focus because of him.", Rex's mind while shaking his head.
