Missing Will Meet

The suffering of LDM, must always resist the longing to meet. Relationships that people say are so hard to get through that many of them fail. There are even those who choose to immediately end the relationship rather than having to face differences in distance. However, the word divorce is not as easy as saying the word break up. Marriage ties are not a game that can be easily drawn. This relationship is what must be lived Kania as a young wife who left her husband to work.

Kania's marriage age is still very young, there hasn't been a year. Even so, Kania understood about the risks of her husband's work that required them to separate distances for quite a long time. After all, they are not separated by distance. When still dating so until long distance relationship has become a common thing for them. Even so, still longing always adorns their hearts every day.

Today was the second month since they could no longer meet. Currently, they are making video calls—same as the previous nights. Lying on the bed, they talked about everything that happened today. Whether it's important or not. Sometimes their chat topics also often jump to other topics that have nothing to do at all.

Suddenly, Kania interrupted something that made her husband shut up, "I'm a miss."

Yeah, that miss word. Only two words, but the silence was gripping. Kania's husband, Gema doesn't know what to answer. Because, every time they are in a distance condition like this, neither he nor Kania ever say the word longing. It was nothing, just that the trivial word made them feel even more the distance that stretched far between them.

"Sorry to ruin the mood. But, I miss, Ge." A cry instantly broke out after Kania finished saying that sentence.

Confused echoes should be how. If only he had been there, he would have clutched his wife tightly. "Nia, I'm missing too. Hold on a second, will you? Four more months. I'll take time off so I can honeymoon with you. Okay?"

Kania did not answer. He still covered his eyes with his palms. His breath was clearly stifled from crying. "Nia, don't cry anymore, will you?" connect Soft echo. His voice shook because it held back the crying.

For the first time, they were already unable to stem the overflowing longing. They can only cry hoping that the feeling of tightness due to longing can be reduced. Echo tears slowly fell onto the cheeks. Kania still did not keep her hands away from her pretty face.

"Will she hear a song?" said Echo again because there was no answer from his wife. "I'm singing now, huh?"

I got your letter

I have read and I understand

How much you will miss me

In your days

Together again

Tears continued to flow from both eyes Echoes. His singing also stammered. Kania who heard the sound of Echoes singing began to remove the hands from her face. Still with a choked breath, Kania sang along, connecting the lyrics.

You ask me

When will I come back again

You said you couldn't resist the turmoil in your chest

The burning ones hold the feeling

Our meeting will be later

When with you

Slowly, the smiles of the two began to thinly expand. Still with tears that adorned both cheeks, they both returned to sing the reff of the song. Now it sounds better, without stammering.

All your missive words are making me helpless

Resist the sense of wanting to meet

Trust me, I miss you too

I'm going home to let go of all that pent-up longing

"Prophey, baby. I promise that if I come home later, we'll have a honeymoon. Where are you going? Let's go out together!" Echoes stick out his hand touching the laptop screen, suggesting that he could wipe away Kania's tears.

Their longing has not paid off completely as long as they have not been able to meet. However, still being able to speak through the screen alone, they were already quite happy.

Time after time passed

I can only look up at the sky

With the shadow of your face

Tell me about our meeting later

Every night feels lonely

Without you on the side

Just your blue jacket here

My friend kala is alone

Long distance span

Your body I can't touch

Leave the longing that refuses to decay

We always meet through the screen

But longing never fully paid off

Which sometimes breaks the heart

Also tightens the chest and tears

We still survive in the name of love

A sacred promise becomes its sustainer

Be ready to be faithful always

Though joy and sorrow always hit

Distance prohibits us from meeting

We're still there

Mutually defend

To meet again

We both fulfilled our promises
