Owner of Heart #1
Chapter 39
Bandung, December 2015
5 Months passed which means two months before the Lieutenant's return, these 5 months were hard for me, but there were Arga and friends in the OASIS who always comforted me, also the parents of the Lieutenant who are like my own parents will accompany me. Mom would usually come to the house just to chat with mom and eventually the three of us would walk anywhere to shop. Even Papah reached my manganajak and Mamah for office duties to Surabaya, so we did not miss the Lieutenant too much.
My longing had reached the crown when finally one afternoon someone knocked on the door, at that time I was watching TV together with Dad, Mom, Mom, Dirga and Mas Juang who had graduated from Akmil and temporarily placed in Bandung.
“Who?” ask mother.
“Don't know,” replied Dirga casually who got the pinch from mom.
“If not open yes do not know.”
“Hehehe, most Aa.”
“If Arga must have entered directly,” I said while eating cassava chips with serious eyes staring at the detective series on one of the cable TV subscription.
“Iya yes, yes already aja.” Dirga again said casually while taking a tengginang.
“You are not it in the book even on chat.” Mother's protest after returning rang a knock
.
“Silver is open, right Big Brother is the most deket forward.”
“Enak only, Mas Juang tuh the most deket.”
“You dong, you are the only girl.”
“Discrimination.”
“Salah herself, born to her own gender,” said Mas Juang who immediately got a throw of a sofa pillow from me while standing to open the door with a frown. From childhood I was most often noisy with Mas Juang maybe because of our age which is only a difference of 2 years, and usually ended with me crying because of losing, and usually ended with me losing, but if anyone dares to do it, I don't expect to survive my brother on that one.
“Iya, briefly!” I cried when I heard another knock at the door, I lazily opened the door but instantly turned my eyes when I saw a man standing at the door with a red beret in his head, he smiled at me who was staring.
“Assalamualaikum, Za.”
“Aaahhh!!” my shout as it leaped into his arms made him laugh welcoming my embrace with a slight lift.
“Mas Yudha when to go home? Why didn't you tell me you wanted to go home today?”
“This just arrived, deliberately make a surprise.”
I laughed happily at his reply, it turned out that his training was only 5 months instead of 7 months like he said.
“Not yet to go home? Mama same Papah definitely nungguin.”
“Then go back to the band, yesterday they came to see my graduation.”
“Kok not rhyme?”
“Intentional.”
I pretended to frown but then laughed again while looking at him from top to bottom, his skin was indeed a little dark but increasingly looks dashing especially with a red beret attached to the head.
“Kangen.” I said as I hugged her back.
“Iya same, but now I have to meet Dad with Mom first.”
“Oh yes! Come on in, again on watching TV, surely Daddy same Mom will be as surprised as me.” I said as I pulled the Lieutenant's hand inside.
“Dad! Mama! See who's coming.”
“Yes Allah, Yudha!” mother immediately shouted like I was, while welcoming her into the arms like welcoming her own son.
After the mother let go of his embrace the Lieutenant is now facing Dad with a firm body and salute like a soldier makes Dad pay respect then pat his shoulder proudly where pinned beam 2 signifies his rank as Lettu (Lieutenant one).
“Good! You've done very well,” thank you Dad for making the Lieutenant smile.
“Alhamdulillah, thanks to the prayers of all.”
“Mas.” Dirga greeted the Lieutenant with a big smile, “Weis, red beret nih.”
The Lieutenant laughed at Dirga's temptation, but then was a little confused when he saw Mas Juang whom he had just met today.
“You've never met Juang-kan? This is Kekey's brother who just graduated Akmil yesterday.”
Mas Juang with a tense face immediately saluted like a soldier to his commander making me want to laugh.
“We've met before.”
“Oh yes? When?” asked the Lieutenant when he heard that Mas Juang had met him.
“When Garuda troops just returned home, Lettu Yudha came to Akmil with others to provide training.”
The Lieutenant seemed to nod in understanding, “Just relax, we are at home, call Yudha aja.”
“Ready!” Mas Juang again saluted me and Dirga laughed and I could see she was staring at us fiercely, but of course this time we were not afraid because we immediately hid behind the Lieutenant while sticking out our tongues.
That day the mother held the Lieutenant to dinner at home, the mother even deliberately cooked for him. Said body mother Mas Lieutenant became thinner definitely because the food is not right, while I think the body is getting stronger hehehe.
Not only did the mother hold down Mas Lieutenant, but Father and Mas Juang also held him back for wanting to hear the notorious Kopassus training. I really want to be alone with him.. aaaahh!!! They didn't understand how we felt at the time.
“The hardest Command Training huh?” asked the father who made the Lieutenant nod with a smile.
“Difficult, really hard but we have to go through it no matter what.”
“How difficult is it?” ask me while going back to eating cassava chips because there is nothing else I can do but listen to the story of the Lieutenant.
“Hmmm... like you have to swim from Cilacap to Nusakambangan.”
“Nyebrang sea?” I was surprised to hear the Lieutenant's answer.
“Not, empang.” Mas Juang replied to me straight up to him, and Dirga happily laughed at me.
“Hehehe... yes, sea, besides that early in the morning one by one we were released in the forest Nusakambangan and had to reach the save house on the beach Permisan maximum at 10 pm without any equipment.”
“Include food?”
“Including eating and drinking, we had to go through all sorts of obstacles be it from nature or from the instructors shooting and chasing us, we had to go through, if it gets caught then we finish our history because it's the same as we failed to pass the task.”
“If caught, yes equally rich prisoners of war. we are tortured and interrogated and should be able to escape from there.”.
“Tortured really?” I was just about to ask when Dirga asked again enthusiastically.
“Lies!” exclaim Mas Juang while shaking his head, “Emang if our war is tortured as well as lying? Yes really, the time of war our enemies say ‘sorry yes we want to hit, not hurt kok only slowly’.”
“Hahahaha..” Now it is my turn to laugh happily making Dirga belittle me.
“Hahahah, yes all in fact.. really rich war that, so we as much as possible do not get caught.”
“Mas Yudha is missing? Not beaten? Any injuries?”
“It's one-one!”
“Hehehe... Alhamdulillah engga, made it to the save house before his time.”
“Weeiiisss.. lay out!” seruku is proud of seyum wide, “Mas Yudha this, the best graduate of Akmil in 2012, if Mas Juang graduated also because of the most pity factor.”
“Hahahaha.. kasian see his face hurt that way, said his Command is good enough to be made a tumbal after the war.”
“Hahahaha..” Me and Dirga laughed triumphantly but only briefly before being able to punch a sofa cushion from Mas Juang.
“Some kangen has long not fought this war huh?!”
“Kak Kekey, Mas, Dirga mah peace-loving people.. peace.”.
“Traitor,” I said while staring at Dirga sharply.
“Important congratulations, hahaha,” reply while escaping to the room.
“Do not horrify them, the three of them indeed if gathering at a grandiose fight.
If you are far away on kangen-kangen, if you meet ya already snatch again,” said Mother who just came to join.
“Rame, Mom, exciting.. Yudha from small alone no fight friends, hehehe.”.
“Seru because it is rare, if every day mah dizzy there.”
Mas Yudha nodded with a smile. Seeing that I smiled, this is the Lieutenant who I have longed for, but she'll turn romantic when it's just the two of me.
Like this time, after dinner we were both sitting on the front yard porch, his eyes not looking at me made me laugh in shame.
“Do not seein continue.”
“Kangen... You are getting beautiful, her hair is already rich long first.”
“Hehehe yes, like long or short.”
“What is important is still you.”
“Hahaha.”
“As long as there is no I why?”
“Same streets Mamah, playing with Arga, invited Papah with Mamah to Surabaya.”
“Three walks doang, I was not invited.”
“Hehehe..
“Yes yes, trus?”
“Continue now busy PKL.”
“Have PKL?”
“Already dong hehehe.. again compose thesis, hopefully can pass as soon as.”
“Aamiin.. if you already get the title S1 later just get the title Ny. Yudha Duke Pratama.”
I smiled and was embarrassed to hear it.
“You don't, get that title?” Mas Lieutenant asked as he looked at me gently making me smile while nodding.
“Mau..”
“Hahaha.. yes already later if you have got his bachelor's degree, insyaalah not long immediately get the title.”
I nodded back excitedly making Mas Lieutenant ruffle my hair.
“Kangen no?”
“But kangen.”
“Until the cry want to curl?”
“Hehehe... not until crying, right if now I know what Mas Yudha continues to do, and previously it has been told, right, if it's right in Myanmar Mas Yudha said the night would call the tapiinya immediately say for months so how not to worry.”
The Lieutenant nodded in understanding.
“Keep if kangen want to wander how?”
“Gulf of Tedy.. know not, Mas, I just mother perfume Mas Yudha what? I keep telling you, I keep buying tuh but the culprit is that I keep spraying it to Tedy so that the smell is the same, so fitting Tedy as if I hurt Mas Yudha, hehehe.”
The lieutenant laughed at my story, before he looked back at me.
“Now want to not bend the original?”
I smiled as I looked around, our house had a fence high enough to be blocked from the outside view.
“Mau!” I immediately rushed into his arms after making sure no one was peeping inside the house.
