The day of Darlen's departure and his troops to the border area... All the families of the departing troops also delivered... Me, Cecil, Irma's mom are my parents...
It's like my heart didn't let Darlen's foot off... I don't know why my heart is heavy... I saw Darlen's brother in his pride uniform. He looks so dashing... He stood up to report the preparations of his troops who were ready for the march...
Cecil broke my daydream "Mama, it's papa walking towards us" while showing Brother Darlen stepping towards us...
"Hi, papa's son. Don't be naughty, same mom and oma. Cecil has to eat a lot, eat the medicine and have a lot of rest. And most importantly Cecil must be diligent in learning. Okay!!!" the word Darlen reminds his son...
"Ready, commander!" cecil answered with an attitude like a man who was dealing with his boss...
Darlen's sister snuggled, hugged and kissed Cecil... I could only see the boy and the father hugging each other and my tears were involuntarily flowing from my eyes...
"Daddy, why are you crying?" darlen asked me when he saw the crystal flowing down my cheek...
"Li,,, Lia doesn't know. Suddenly Lia's tears just fell" I answered seeing Darlen's sister... And without shame or nervousness. I immediately hugged his tube and cried sobbing in his arms...
Mam Irma who saw me as if directly asking Cecil to get down from his papa sling and let me continue to hug Darlen's sister...
Both of my parents who were there at that time were moved to see my attitude...
"Hey, deck. Don't be like that" he said... And I just shook my head... It's the first time I've ever dared to hug Darlen's sister...
"Sister, take good care of yourself there. Eat regularly and stay healthy. And quickly return" I said with a sob...
Brother Darlen let go of his embrace and looked at my face "I'll be back for you and for Cecil. Wait for me" he said... He hugged me again and whispered in my ear "I love you, my wife" with a smile he peeked at the top of my head...
With a soft voice "I'll wait for you to come back, brother... I love you too" I said...
"Nine months, baby. Only nine months. Wait for me" he said as he took his arms off me and walked towards the ship that would take him and his troops to serve in the border area...
"*It has been a week since Darlen's brother left to carry out his duties in the border area. He hasn't told me how he is either. Is she okay? how's condition? And many more questions that popped into my head"
"Lord, take care of my husband. Take care of them all. Wherever and wherever he does his job. Don't let the enemy drive his way and his men*"
Every night, I never forget to. Pray for my husband, his records and his men....
Cecil and mama Irma may have gotten used to Darlen's departure. And I should have been too. Because from childhood I was used to the departure of papa who often get the task to vulnerable areas like now that my husband... But not with me, who often misses him...
Yes, I missed her embrace, her sudden kiss and also her sigh... "I miss you, Darlen. Go home quickly. We're waiting for you" I said, looking at the picture on my phone that I took secretly, while he was cool with Cecil...
