After the filing of marriage five days ago, Arabella's activities returned as usual as well as Haafizh's. Amid the busyness as a state servant Haafizh had to go back to duty this time his duty was not long as before.
In accordance with the plan after the state task is completed Haafizh will immediately hold a wedding. The task this time was only half a year, meaning Haafizh had to miss Arabella again.
"If it wasn't for my duty I wouldn't have left you Ra. Take good care of yourself. Now I'm part of your life, if anything then get me involved"
Arabella just nodded with a faint smile forced, her two eyes slightly watering, stemming the tears that were ready to spill at any time. He was not willing to let Haafizh go. But alas, a few more minutes Haafizh had to go away from him.
This time it really feels heavy to let go of Haafizh on duty, what because before the wedding to the concerns of Arabella on Haafizh who had to go away from him became heavy. But that's not what Arabella worries about. Deep in her deepest little heart, Arabella felt there would be a greater distance than this that would separate her from Haafizh.
"Dear, I love you so much" whispered Haafizh right in the ear of Arabella before leaving Arabella alone in the airport.
No Haafizh family left to deliver other than Arabella and one of Haafizh's friends, Bagas. He said Bagas was not on duty like Haafizh he was still assigned to the city during Haafizh's departure.
What Arabella knew about Bagas was that Bagas was a close friend of Haafizh. Haafizh said as long as he does not exist, Bagas will replace his position to protect Arabella.
Haafizh always told Bagas if one day his parents began to be suspicious of the plan all this then Arabella should not meet with her mother. To know about Haafizh's concerns, the captain was very afraid if his mother hurt Arabella's feelings.
"Ready. The captain's order will be carried out" Bagas said swiftly while saluting Haafizh.
Days continued until one month after Haafizh's departure, Arabella was now more accustomed to returning without Haafizh by her side. During this one month Haafizh reported Arabella only twice. No problem for Arabella from Haafizh is fine then Arabella is very grateful.
As Arabella is now walking in tandem with Ana, the two have just come out of a clothing store, from then on Ana has not gotten clothes that she thinks fit even though both have entered from the store one ketoko the other just to look around.
"What type of clothes do you want to buy?" Arabella was very tired, her feet were sore with sweat that had been pouring since, but Ana had not bought any items.
Unlike Ana who was super energetic, her spirit seemed to never fade. Even though it had been four hours the two sisters went around the market just to find one model of clothes that Ana wanted.
"That's her sister Ara I also have to buy what clothes"
Jaimapun. Arabella took a deep breath and exhaled violently, quickly holding Ana's right hand. "So, what did we do to Ana? We've been around the market for four hours!" Cetus Arabella, both of whom walked past some hawkers, overtaken some busy picking merchandise.
Until finally Arabella brought Ana in front of the Arabella subscription clothing store that she used to shop. "Well, Ana, you'd better shop here. In addition to the good quality of the clothes here is also not too expensive" said Arabella enthusiastically.
Ana just nodded then the two began to walk slowly to see the clothes that have been extended in some moniken statues are partially folded neatly in the storefront.
Ana's hands are busy picking while Arabella is sitting in the corner waiting for Ana who is busy choosing Arabella clothes to continue to check the device, hoping for a message from Haafizh.
"Haafizh hasn't given me any news in two weeks"
Haafizh's longing increased until it turned heavy, torturing his heart and mind just to think of Haafizh. Arabella thought falling in love would be fun like Ana who every day looks haha hihi with her lover but in fact her love story is different.
There is a distance so stretched apart, there is a time so long that it is so long. His love story with a TNI soldier turned out to be very difficult, it took a struggle until the longing met at the end of the patience he had been waiting for.
Actually Arabella feels insecure if with Haafizh, the difference from social to materipun is very different. Like the heavens and the earth that meet but never merge into one. Same with Arabella and Haafizh.
"Sister Ara" Ana's screams disperse Arabella's reverie. He immediately got up from his seat and approached Ana who had finished picking some pieces of clothes.
"Udah finished?" Ask Arabella who was immediately embraced by Ana while showing a few pieces of clothes that she held.
Seeing the clothes of choice Ana makes Arabella a little surprised because Ana never bought this expensive dress with a style of gamis so luxurious.
"It must be very expensive" Arabella said in a half-snouted voice.
"Concidently brother. I want to meet my mother-in-law" Ana looks so enthusiastic that the big smile on her face expands so wide.
Before answering Arabella's question, Ana took her gawai in a bag and opened the green app to show her some brief chat last night that she got from the mother-in-law.
"Don't tell dad, sister! He said the mother-in-law will come tomorrow, hihi." Ana brisks while giggling. Not forgetting he showed a short chat with mamah-in-law.
True also the contents of the message was a conversation between Ana with the name of the mother-in-law contact. But why did Arabella feel dislike, why did the man tell Ana not to tell anyone? and one more reason why the person referred to by Ana Mamah in-laws will come suddenly.
"What should we say to father, let us also make preparations to welcome his arrival" suggested Arabella.
"Don't! It's a secret. Gamau knew anyway brother Ara must keep this secret until tomorrow" said Ana seriously.
Unwilling to argue any longer Arabella chooses Ana to pay for her groceries immediately.
Waktu terus berlanjut hingga matahari telah terbenam diupuk barat, malam ini sangatlah indah dengan bintang bertebaran diatas sana. Jika di kota sana ramai oleh kendaraan dan orang-orang yang berlalu lalang maka di perbatasan hutan sangatlah sepi, hanya terdengar suara hewan dengan sesekali suara dedaunan pohon yang terguncang oleh angin.
It was midnight but the duty as a state servant had not yet ended. A group of Army TNI special forces has just finished securing the eastern Indonesian border from the enemy.
Haafizh as captain is of course the most active among his peers. Even when his friends were about to rest in the headquarters they made Haafizh still watch the area around fear when the enemy comes.
"This captain is already night should the captain rest first" said Arga Haafizh colleague who had replaced his striped shirt with a plain black short T-shirt.
Haafizh turned his two bodies now facing each other at a distance of three meters. "alright. Please after eight minutes I fall asleep wake me back up" Pinta Haafizh so firmly.
Dion who understood the habits of his captain immediately agreed.
"Each captain. Then let me be on guard" said Arga.
After that Haafizh immediately changed the same clothes with Arga wearing a plain black T-shirt with a subordinate long striped pants. Entering the tent with a thin mat Haafizh immediately spread his body.
Haafizh's body felt crumpled and sick all. If asked, is Haafizh tired? Then the answer is yes. Haafizh is very tired, every duty then life is always a bet. But as a state servant, Haafizh better fall in the field of combat than go home to bring defeat. That is the principle of a soldier.
"Captain's up... Captain" Arga's voice sounded faint as he woke Haafizh. But how else this has been a request from the captain.
"This captain has been eight minutes" This time Arga felt relieved that Haafizh had already opened both eyes.
Heh. Why is it so fast that eight minutes feels like a second. Both eyelids Haafizh feels so heavy, he wants to sleep again but there is the other obligation that must be carried out is tahajud prayer.
At exactly one night Haafizh always pray a third of the night every day without being missed.
"Thank you for waking me up. Now it's your turn to rest" Haafizh told Arga.
After ablution in a small lake that is known to be the source of Haafizh springs always ablaze there, besides clear and clean water there is very fresh.
Finished berwudhu Haafizh immediately took the prayer mats fined, he used to pray near a large rock under which full of short green grass. Looks clean and neat. If noticed around the forest is very dark and quiet, his colleagues have slept all only Haafizh who woke up to pray tahajud.
Four rakaat has been completed. Haafizh immediately prayed fervently. In addition to praying for both his parents and himself Haafizh also prayed for Arabella his future wife who he so desired.
Not far from Haafizh, Arabella also just finished her evening prayer. Every prayer he made was full of tears, his longing for Haafizh grew so much that it was unstoppable.
"Antara Adzan who reverberated, between the Qibla that determined my direction home. Between the sweetness of the shahadah and the tenacity of intercession. Between the counts of prayer beads, I believe that my prostration and your prostration will meet in the same Aamiin."
"My mother misses you"
