The RoofTop Girl's

Be a strong man

Dimpled

The night slowly crept. Television voices have sung the national anthem, a sign that the entire series of events that day is over. Sepi approached, and gradually enveloped the remains of daylight while singing the song Nina bobok.

The soft snoring of Sonia's breath lying on her thighs was heard, tucking some hair that covered the wife's pretty face behind the ears. He was still awake, something stuck in his mind.

He is not unhappy to find Sonia who is pregnant at this time, which man is not happy to hear there is a baby growing in the womb of the wife. But a shadow of the story of the past comes back to haunt him.

"Prepare the blood!!"

"Your wife is bleeding heavily!!"

The atmosphere was so panicked, he could think of nothing more. All he knows, he had seen Mama Ara rushed to the ICU, ahead of a few minutes, the doctor said that his wife had died.

All so suddenly, he did not even have time to say anything to the woman who gave birth to Ara into that world. And now, Sonia is pregnant. At the same time, he was recommended to follow the Diklat, approximately three months from now for six months.

That means, when Sonia gives birth later, she does not exist. Even during the pregnancy of the wife later, he could not accompany, suddenly his knees weak. It's nothing, he's not sure, Sonia can get through this, go through pregnancy without a husband and the birth of their child later.

Being to cancel the diklat is impossible, because of the hundreds of members throughout Indonesia, he who was elected to forty who participated in special training classes to become a high official in the POLRI environment, he said, it is undeniable that he has performed since in Akpol first.

Breathing out slowly, his heart was in a dilemma. While continuing to caress the slumbering head of Sonia, she also closed her eyes, falling asleep.

He thought when he woke up the next day, his mind was a little calm, but still when he saw Sonia, his heart was full again, he was afraid that the events of the night used to repeat. I really don't want her to leave this girl alone again.

"Is there a problem?" Sonia surprised her standing on the balcony of the apartment that morning.

"Nothing." Give it to the wife while gesturing for Sonia to come closer.

"Lie, that's a nine-fisted wrinkle."

"Haha, ah time?"

"Hmm." The girl nodded.

"Have you had milk?" He switched the talk.

"Not yet."

"Baby brother?"

"Can..."

"Siip, wait here for the queen." His coolness pinched Sonia's nose and then passed into the kitchen making pregnant milk for the wife.

It didn't take long, he came back with a glass of milk and a bottle of vitamins.

"Cock bring vitamin sak?"

"Yes, you take vitamins too."

"Which milk can be taken with vitamins, the efficacy of vitamins is lost later, the nature of milk will neutralize, just take the vitamins in two hours."

"Sorry forgot." He grabbed the vitamin bottle and brought it back inside.

Sonia had already finished the milk in her glass when she came, taking a sitting position next to the girl.

"Aren't you nauseous?"

"No, it's ordinary."

"Good, smart boy, don't bother mommy, baby." Her elus on Sonia's stomach was still flat.

"The same mother must be strong, must be."

"Maybe papa won't be able to accompany you." His voice was bitter when he said that.

"It's okay, we're strong. Our father will be a great man, we must be great too." Sonia looked at him inside.

"How long?" The girl grabbed his hand, clasping tightly. Sonia already knew, she was chosen to follow the class.

"Let's end of June."

"It's okay, I'll be at the amak house." The girl smiled wryly.

"Darling..." His breath was stuck unable to continue.

"I believe you're going to be a great man someday, and to get there you need a strong woman by your side and I'm the one."

"Are you okay?" He said not sure.

"I should have realized from the beginning, if married to a state servant must be prepared with all the consequences. That they are not mine, their heart and soul already belong to the state, that's the price of death."

"So don't relax, I'll be fine. I'll take care of our son, bring him into the world healthy and safe, I promise."

He smiled blandly, Sonia you are my everything. I don't know, as if losing all words, he grabbed the wife's tiny body and held her tightly.

"Thank you."

Sonia

Three days after learning that Dimas was chosen to attend the class, he had met his senior brother during college, mbak Gina.

Ms. Gina has a husband of a TNI AD, the woman told me a lot, if a month after marriage, her husband mbak Gina was assigned to Papua, on the border, in the conflict area for one year. Imagine what kind of feeling mbak Gina, while the woman was just pregnant when she was left. Her husband came home when their son was three months old.

"Your husband only went to Diklat, no one died of Diklat." That's what Gina's father's friend, Farah, also talked to them.

Madam Farah exhaled deeply, her gaze distant. They remained silent for quite a while.

One week before the shocking news came, Farah often saw her husband staring at their sleeping baby, well Farah had just given birth to their first child. Farah felt a little strange, but Farah let it pass.

Another thing that has changed is the face of the husband. That face looks pale. His cheerfulness disappeared, as the moonlight gradually faded away as morning came.

The day before leaving for duty, the husband did not say goodbye as he used to. The man only kissed Farah's forehead, clasped her fingers, and whispered in Farah's ear, "Take our baby and be a strong man." Those were the last words my husband said.

That remark also sounded strange, but as a wife, Farah simply nodded. Then the husband went to their nursery and kissed the red cheeks. Two days later Farah's life was shattered into pieces.

Submarine KRI Nanggala 402, where the husband and his colleagues are carrying out the task of sinking in the sea of Bali, at a depth of 850 meters.53 crew members were declared dead, including the husband in it.

Why did this happen to me? no, not now. Too soon. We are just starting a family that we are going to have together. He's a good husband. Their baby still needs a father who will cast out evil demons at night, read him Cinderella's story, and...

Be the strong man Farah, those words reverberated in Farah's ear.

Days passed without a husband. Silent, lonely, hollow, gloomy. Like the sun too embarrassed to rise and wipe out the remains of the night. In the heart of Farah, Farah did not let go of her husband. Farah is unsure if she can raise her baby alone. What would Farah say later when their baby asks about dad. Doubt looms over Farah's future.

Be the strong man Farah, that voice again.

***

He sweats hearing Farah's story, it's too sad, he can't afford to be faced with the same conditions.

"Be a strong man Sonia." Brother Farah grasped it tightly.

"We women of choice, women who are willing to love must be divided with the country."

And he nodded, from this second he promised, will be a strong man. Who will always accompany the husband in filial service to Nusa and Bangsa.

Brother Dimas, go. Our nation needs people like you...
