MARRYING A SOLDIER
Episode 28 Happy Birthday
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....
"It's your birthday present" commander Darlen said, pointing out the large, tall gift... "This gift was prepared by Captain Ween long before his return. He left it for me, to convey it for you" he explained again to me...
With tears in my eyes, I walked towards the big gift... The gift wrapped in white wrapping paper with flowers like my favorite color is tied with a beautiful maroon ribbon and there is a message "Happy BIRTHDAY MY WIFE. WAIT FOR ME", moved me...
I pulled the maroon band together with a curious heart. What's behind this gift.... I saw a soldier in a battle suit complete with a backpack, weapons, weapons, the Army's solemn face and helmets came out of the box holding a rose petal birthday cake that read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR WIFE"...
The soldier opened the helmet and also the mask that covered his face. In that instant, I immediately hugged the soldier... Yes, because he is my husband. He's the one I've been waiting for these 9 months. I miss him every day in these 9 months... Yes, I already loved her maybe even more than her love for me...
All the border guards with my family even my husband's superiors cheered with excitement because of this surprise... Makes me cry even more sobbing in his arms, Darlen...
"Happy birthday my wife, baby" whispered in my ear... "I'm sorry for this surprise, it keeps you in tears" he said, peeping at the top of my head...
"Thank you, baby" I said happily as if I felt no shame. I just kept hugging my husband... The commander and wife are all on stage and congratulate me on my birthday...
It turns out that there are already mama Retha, mama Irma, Cecil, Bram's sister, Vanny's sister and also her husband and her son...
"Happy birthday, Lia" Everyone greeted me and Darlen with the words "Also welcome to Darlen" they continued...
We celebrate my birthday and Darlen's return by eating with the family...
"Papa is not fair" Suddenly Cecil's voice said with a pouting face...
Brother Darlen immediately approached his son who was standing with a waistline. "Why does my darling say that?" ask Darlen...
"From papa arrived this morning until now, papa never let go of papa's hand from mama. Papa also continued to kiss my mother. Then Cecil's papa grapein" whined Cecil... "Yes, stop. This is how having a new father has a new wife who was long abandoned" he continued which made everyone in the house laugh out loud... I'm da kak Darlen can't cover our shame because it's true...
Not a second did Darlen let go of my hand. Nor does he stop kissing the tops of my head and the back of my hands... Because he misses me so much...
He's my husband "DARLEN MACHEL WEEN"
