Lily went home and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He turned on the television to fill his loneliness. It's been ten days Josh, her husband hasn't been preaching.


Indeed Josh has often said his task is sometimes in an area that does not have a stable communication network so it will be difficult to contact or give news. Sometimes for security all mobile phones will be left at the headquarters. They only carry equipment to avoid tracking the enemy or for the safety of the group.


Suddenly the television he watched conveyed a recent news "Armed criminal groups (KKB) in Papua attacked and in the shooting incident that occurred in Beoga, Puncak Regency, Papua, Indonesia,   a one-star general has died.


Degs... Lily's heart is pounding. Josh yesterday just said duty in Papua. Josh never tells you the specifics of where his task is and what he does. Before leaving he only said he would be outside duty maybe 2 months in Papua. Is it in the place of conflict?


Lily was very worried after watching the news aired on one of the TV stations.  He pulled out his handpn and pressed Josh's number on his phone and called Josh's number.  The voice of the female operator who answered him.  The phone you are on is not active.  Pressed back her husband's number. Still the woman's voice that says the number you're going to is off.  Finally Lily left a message on Josh's number and asked the man to call her immediately.


Josh... You're okay, right? ... May you not be hurt.me and your son are waiting for you at home.cf Lily who is still watching the news about the shooting in Papua. He understands Josh is a special soldier who is sometimes assigned to several places that are in conflict. She understood her husband's duties but now she is very restless.


Josh had also reminded Lily to be the wife of a country servant is heavy and must be ready whenever when her husband left on duty. He understood all that when they were getting married first he had to undergo a series of tests. She was able to pass the test but when she passed it and found out that her husband was most likely at the scene of the conflict and there were fatalities, she was worried and scared.


Lily cried in front of the television. By ourselves. The ringing of his Handphne made him slightly aware.


"Henry Calling" The sliding green button and greeted the friend who contacted him.


"Yes Hen... 'Her clothes while wiping away her tears.


"Lil... Have you heard from Josh ?"


"Not Hen, though,... He hasn't called me in 10 days.I'm afraid he's doing nothing..


"Hey.don't be afraid... Josh can definitely get through it.. Don't worry, yes.... lil.... I believe he can definitely.... Have you eaten yet?"


"Not yet.. I've been watching TV and I'm not going to eat ...


"Would it be me and Tika to go there with you ?" We brought food, huh?"


"No need Hen. I already bought food.. I want to eat..


"Well, you eat now.. later if there's anything, call me. Even at midnight, we'll go to your house... Leave all your worries to God.Now you eat, bathe and pray !   Let your thinking be calmer, will you ?"


"Thank you Henry. Say the same Tika also .. thanks...


"Yes, let me know if there's anything.


The call was interrupted and Lily immediately left the living room and left the television on.  He immediately cleaned himself up and immediately ate dinner alone in the house.    After eating, he cleaned his utensils and washed them again.  Television still broadcast the news of the shootout and Lily chose to clean up again to perform tahajut prayers to calm her heart and surrender to the almighty.

Soffie was lying on the sofa in the middle of her apartment room while stroking her stomach. She felt easily tired in her pregnancy which was almost 5 months. While Dean was busy sitting next to his mother while watching cartoons aired on television.


Every time the child's advertisement will be busy asking or snacking on food provided at the table. Today Soffie makes macaroni schootel and Dean's favorite chocolate pudding.


"Ma ..mama when does the baby come out ?"


"maybe in a few months .. why Dean can't wait...have you met his adenya ?"


"later yeah... Dean's going to school if circumstances allow... Dean wants to go to school ?'


"Yes mam... Dean wants to be a smart kid like papa.


"Yes ..later Dean will go to school.kan at the end of this month we will go home to Jakarta and Dean, will school there yes ... " Soffie answered while hugging her little man.


"Ma... why the hell is the baby in the belly of the mother...why not in the stomach papa just ?  Papa is stronger and can not be tired like mama gini...


Soffie smiled hearing an innocent question from Dean. He understood that his son was very critical and if he was not answered, Dean would ask continuously without stopping. He must be wise and must not mispronounce.


"The baby's body can only be in the stomach of the mother because the mother's stomach is warmer than the stomach of the father .. Dean's in my mom's belly for 9 months.


"ko Dean can't remember ya ma.... but what does it fit? Dean is big, while your belly is only this big, "The boy held his mother's stomach and measured himself. He was confused and his face confused.


"Load dear.. Dean used to be very small. about four years ago Dean small not as big and smart as this darling... Dean was born from the stomach of the mother, the doctor helped to remove the dean from the stomach of the mother, later also the same baby will be helped by the doctor in order to get out and that time...


Soffie's speech was interrupted when she heard the entrance of the apartment opened from the outside.  The mother and son turned to the door, As soon as two faces appeared from the open door, Dean immediately ran over and hugged one of the Men. David and January had already returned home from their duties in the afternoon. The two men smilingly looked at Dean who was running cheerfully towards them.


"Mr .... " Dean ran and ran over hugging her Papa cheerfully.


David immediately spread his arms and hugged his little hero. While Soffie got up from her lying down and approached her husband's arrival.


"Bie.. You grow up once home fast .


"Yes.we got a dinner invitation from the mayor.Sudden apologies... So tonight you're coming with me, Phie. Let January and Alice take care of him...Can you get ready in 30 minutes ?


" Can ... Can't you take Dean ?'


'No, baby, we're just gonna be a minute... Hey, champ papa..sewhile papa borrow your mama.later you at home with madam Alice and om January... Take care of them both... If there's anything call papa, okay?"


"Okay papa... Don't be afraid ! Now Dean's grown up and a big brother, but why does the mayor say papa can't bring a kid... Dean's a big one?" Is the mayor unhappy with an already small child who's grown up ? "


"Gini dear.The invitation is only for two people and is written only for adults.... Dean is not an adult.


"Oh so pa... but why can't madam alice and om January come too? Are they adults ?"


"They're a lot of work and have to clear up papa's work...


"Oh... That's so but mama's a tired adult, is it okay if papa invites mama without Dean?


"Later Papa who takes care of mama. oh yes Dean, mama must be strong if you go with papa...


"Pa.. later the mayor was. "Dean's speech was interrupted because Soffie stopped her chatty little man and the handyman set up her papa.


"Dean... do we eat yuk ? Poor papa is laper... "Persuade Soffie to help David from the invasion of his curious little man.  Dean smiled at his mother and nodded his head.
