Friend of Longing

Episode 53

Today is a very hard day for the great family of Mr. Ardiantara, all hoping to obtain a priesthood that could prevent him from leaving. But fate has destined Papa and his soldiers to leave.

Really it makes everyone hurt, with his departure for 2 years, do not know what problems will happen later. But it is the duty of a soldier. Want it or not, they must go to carry out state duties.

The family of the abandoned, for quite a long time can only pray for the best, so that they all return to his country safely.

The sacrifice of an Army, especially a General is very heavy and very meaningful, they must leave all members for the benefit of the State, they must be able to withstand his longing for the family they left behind.

Including a Papa who is full of struggle, and became the pride of his family. He has to go, and I don't know when he should go home, 2 years? Not if it is a long time and takes time, then how will the longing that will not be treated, there will be no communication between them later, then, maybe Mama the Wife of a great General, will be greatly lost.

Because the husband will go away, and for 2 years can no longer touch his body, feel his warmth, will not even be able to hear his voice again.

Mama was incessantly crying, Mama continued to be in Papa's arms, because she did not want to feel the loss for so long, it would not be easy for her to release her husband.

Papa who was in the arms of Mama, felt heavy to step. If he wasn't responsible for his people, maybe he wouldn't care about any of this, even most likely he wouldn't go to war, but Papa wasn't that type of person, he is a very responsible person, and his devotion to the country is number 1 in his life.

" Don't cry, my wife, I can't see your cry". While wiping his wife's tears flowing on his cheeks.

" I wish this was all just my husband's dream".

" It's not a dream, but it's a reality that can no longer be denied. Take good care of yourself, I'll be right back for our family".

" You should also keep yourself there, I won't get tired of reminding you to come back safe".

" I'll do it, just pray for the best for me and the fighters there, I love you My wife and our children, more than the whole ocean on this earth". Peeping the wife's forehead.

" I love you so much my husband too". Giving a warm smile.

Papa stepped away and rubbed his children's heads, giving them the best smile ever. Truly this is a great tribute to her for pretending to be tough, even though her heart has been crying over her soul.

" Aldi please keep Papa's reading, you currently have a considerable responsibility. Please be an honest and trustworthy leader, even if your age is still not mature enough, but you are a person who has a big enough personality in leading". While rubbing his head.

" Yes Pah, Aldi will do what Papa told Aldi".

" Thank you son, Papa believes you can do it".

Then he looked at Alda who was standing next to Aldi.

" Son Alda, please take care of Aldi, and provide the best support for him".

" Good sir, Alda will definitely do it". The warm smile he gave, to convince Mr. Ardiantara.

" thank you". Smilingly.

Then continue his steps towards Riki and Fahri.

" Good Master, I will do my best for everything, I will protect the Young Master, and take care of him".

" Good thank you". While stroking his head.

" Well, is that all you've given me". Fahri.

Papa Confused by the statement of his youngest child, did not understand what his child wanted.

" Wouldn't Papa give your children a warm hug?".

Papa smiled then gave a warm hug to Fahri, then stretched his arm in the air to call Aldi to come quickly. Papa gives a warm hug to his two children. It felt like crying, but he did have to look tough now.

" You are great Papa's children, please take care of yourself including your Mama". Rubbing his wife's cheek, then kiss her forehead, alternating with her children.

After it was felt enough finally Papa mun stepped away to his private plane, not to forget also he was escorted by the entire army, all the soldiers were lined up at the door, the whole army was lined up at the door, to pay respect first to the General Mr. Ardiantara.

Everyone's cries broke, upon seeing the departure of his loved ones, upon seeing his back from behind. It was their last meeting, they just hoped everything would be okay there.

Mama cried after Papa who was right in front of the plane door, he chased her to the floor, while shouting to prevent her husband to leave.

"My husband please don't go". She screamed to herself by her husband.

Papa approached, and crouched down right in front of the Istiri.

"Don't be like this my wife, I can't see you crying like this, please be sincere with me to go, you are my life, and you will always be in my heart". Kissing his wife's forehead, then giving her the last hug.

With a very heavy heart, Papa stepped away to get into the plane, without seeing his family, because if he continued to see his family, he would not be able to go, he would not be able to go, because his heart was really unwilling if he had to leave his family.

All the soldiers have got on the plane, no matter the family who delivered, this place is where everyone is flooded with tears. Like a cloud that was bright in the beginning, there will also be a sudden arrival of rain, including this time.

Aldi and Fahri approached Mama who was still crying, then gave strength to her Mama.

" Ma, we will always take care of Mama, and replace Papa temporarily, so that Mama does not feel sad when Papa is not there". Aldi.

" Ma don't cry, please. Come ma smile, be a strong and cheerful Mama first, this is indeed heavy Ma, but Papa will definitely come back, right?". Fahris.

" Yes, son, thank you very much". She smiled, even though her heart was still crying.

Aldi and Fahri also help Mama to stand up, then go home empty, without the Husband, without the Papa who always accompany him at any time, now he is no longer in the middle of this family. Prayers are what they can pray for now and later when the time has come.
