MARRYING A SOLDIER
Episode 27 Important Missions
Finally what I was waiting for was going home. Well, Brother Darlen is going home along with his troops who are serving on the border...
We are so happy to welcome her home, let alone me. Because for 9 months on duty, Darlen rarely calls me. The remote task force is near the border and is remote, so no telephone network goes in there. There is no electricity. They use illumination and sleep with the roof of the sky and wooden trunks arranged into beds...
Somehow will I welcome him? Crying out? Hugged it? or how? I miss him, I miss him so much...
All the families were present at the arrival of the returning soldiers. The wife and son of the Army on duty, including me and Cecil, were also Irma's mother...
The ship that was carrying my husband and his troops began docking into the Navy Harbor where we were waiting... My eyes were fixed on the troops who had descended from the ship and were setting up a formation for the ceremony. And the commander of the army began to report the arrival of his troops...
I am grateful that everything came home intact not one less. That's what I heard from the team's comment report...
My eyes are looking for Darlen's brother. The squad commander who reported the arrival didn't seem to be my husband. Because the comic looks skinny and his skin looks dark...
After the report from the comment. I saw that the troops began to disperse in search of their families who were waiting... Me and Cecil with teary eyes awaited someone who would come from among the troops before us...
But, suddenly I heard my name being called with a loudspeaker on the troop welcoming stage...
"Mrs. Aurelia Ween, we are waiting for you on this stage. Come here immediately" that's the voice of the man I heard telling me immediately to the origin of the voice...
I took Cecil to get there. Mama Irma who was next to you suddenly disappeared...
On that stage... I saw a big, tall gift. I climbed the stairs leading up to the stage, seen by all the troops and their families as well as the superiors of my husband...
"Ready, sir" I replied
"I want to deliver good news and bad news. Where do you want to hear first?" ask my husband's comment...
With teary eyes "I mean, commander?" I then looked at Papa Sam who was also on the stage... "Bad news I want to hear first" I replied...
"All right! Captain Maichel Ween is not with us at the moment. Because he immediately set out to carry out the important mission that we had prepared before this border force returned"....
My tears fell unstoppably. Papa came to give me his warm embrace. Cecil who had been holding my hand now turned in the sling of one of Darlen's best friends...
"This is the risk of marrying a soldier's husband. You must be willing to be left behind" said papa hugging me...
"Pa, Lia is waiting for him. Lia misses him, pa. Lia wishes she'd come home on Lia's birthday. Lia wants to be a good wife, pa" my tears broke in papa's arms...
"Mrs. Aurelia Ween's? Ready for the good news?" asked the commander and answered a nod by me... Because his commander Kak Darlen is papa's best friend. And I think of him as my parents...
"Is it your birthday today?" his tan...
"Ready, yes sir" I replied in a hoarse voice holding back my cries....
