Love to My Widow
Silence is painful
The commander often visited Nila's house on the sidelines of his busy life. Even if it is just to talk to your father
He seemed to be happier after meeting his father...
Sometimes the commander helps the father to make wooden tools.
His special laughter was memorized outside the head for the Nila family
The father and commander always sat on a park bench under a mango tree in front of Nila's house
"Thank you, Mr. Slamet, I've made my retirement a little bit brighter." the commander with a cigarette in his hand.
"It could be this commander." father while enjoying boiled cassava.
The commander's sight glared far away
"When I am going to Purna, I have to go through my old age with solitude without a wife or child accompanying the days I will go through"
occasionally smoking cigarettes and removing the smoke fly away like releasing the burden of solitude that he went through.
Just silently listening to the commander's heart
Inside the house
Aaah kasian once the commander was so lonely,
wherever it is a child, never come home to accompany his father
Hufff
nila's murmur in the heart
"What if I get lonely after marriage....Errrrttt tau aaah let destiny go as it is.." while random shuffling his hair.

Outside house....
The commander was still staring far away at what was in his brain and heart...
replace the cigarettes that have been used up in the hand...
"The commander did not ask Biyan to be on duty just, so that he can take care of the commander.." the father who helped ignite the cigarette in his hand...
The commander just kept quiet and let out a long breath...
You see that, muttering in your heart...
"your silence feels so painful to the commander"
the two of them kept silent and finished the cigarette he was holding...
"Kasian ya mba Nila commander Dadang, "cock Kartika surprised Nila who was watching the father and commander from inside the house
Nila just smiled
In his heart he muttered
Will I be happy, though,
do I back off, don't marry her...
God has shown me a good way...
Dilemma in his silence...
All night he couldn't sleep...
Thinking about his future should be at stake by marrying a man who does not know how he behaves and behaves
And he must also forget his ideals...
Until three in the morning Nila was still awake..
It turns out that the father accidentally saw Nila in the room that looks riled up
Father approaching
"Why son, are you afraid...?" father touched softly Nila's hair black sticky wavy and smooth
Nila just smiled to cover her anxiety, so that the father does not worry about her daughter
the other two weeks will be called by an officer as a means of return for his father.
"Sure you must be happy" he kissed indigo. Then I left Nila's room
Inwardly
God make me happy so that you don't worry about me...
I don't care if he loves me or not after we get married
Nila braced herself by patting her own shoulders.
He finally fell asleep
**
In another room
she was crying in silence under the blanket
She was worried about Nila's fate...
It turns out that the mother eavesdropped on the conversation of the commander and her husband
Mother thought that the man who would marry her daughter was not a warm-hearted man like the Commander.
"May Nila be able to deal with it well" mummy muttered in her grief behind the blanket
Kartika also thought about her brother...
He was willing to let go of ideals that were clearly wide open in front of him..
But his brother just let go for the sake of obeying the father's request.
"It's so sad for me"...Kartika continues to hug the bolts and drifts away in a dream.
