MARRYING A SOLDIER

Episode 26 Dear Mama Cecil

Now 5 months have passed...

I'm still faithfully waiting for my husband on duty. I did my duty and responsibility as a teacher and mother to Cecil... Also I often follow every activity of the Army wives that are often carried out...

One night, I woke up from sleep... My phone rings. I saw a video call from a number I didn't know... I hesitantly lifted up, and I deliberately turned off the sleeping lights by the bedside..

"Hi, are you sleeping, baby?" ask someone across there. Someone I miss very much. I quickly turned on the light, I saw the figure on my camera phone...

"Yes, God. Brother, Lia misses. Really miss you" I said with tears in my eyes...

"I miss you too, baby. Be patient, we meet in 4 months" he said...

I looked at her face "Sister, why are you so skinny? are you eating less? are you sick, brother?" a lot of questions I asked Darlen...

"I'm fine, baby. I'm okay?" the answer... "Darling, I need to get back to the guard post. I'll call again, Dad. Greetings to Cecil and mom. I love you" Darlen broke off video calling with one kiss for me...

In the morning, I felt like a normal day. And I extend greetings from Brother Darlen to Cecil and mama Irma...

"Ah, papa does not love Cecil. Time called only mama" whined Cecil funny...

"Papa phone is late at night, baby.it's also use the phone number of his men papa at the guard post that has a telephone network" explained I...

"Darling, not the first time, is it, papa like that?" mama asked Irma to her granddaughter...

"Papa promised, if you'll call again" I said pleasingly...

"Alright, ma" said Cecil...

Cecil is a smart kid and understands situations and conditions... He's been used to little left his papa off duty... Even after his mother died, Cecil remained an agile child in front of people. But he is fragile inside...

I tried to be a good mama for Cecil. Every need I met and all the time I spent with him... My day is not missed without Cecil by my side...

"Ma, Cecil is big. Let Cecil do it himself. All this time, Cecil did everything himself" he whined...

"Cecil asked mom to be Cecil's mom, right? Means Cecil must want all the needs of Cecil, mama who will provide. Okay" I said to Cecil...

With her pouting face "All right, dear mama. Cecil will follow your will. Cecil loves mama" in my arms...

"Mama loves Cecil too" I said, hugging and kissing both cheeks that had started to chubby...

Every day, we both went and went home from school as usual. I drove the car and Cecil became my loyal passenger. And mama Irma became the mom and oma who always waited for us faithfully and lovingly. Makes me forget for a moment that my husband is away on duty in the border area...

I assume my husband is on duty as usual. And he'll come home every sora or night...

"I miss you, Darlen. I'm always waiting for you. May you always be in God's protection and quickly re-assemble with us" That's the prayer I always say when the night comes...
