There's a Country Among Us
50. NATUNA ISLAND
The phone rang.
Cring...Cring...Cring...
"Hallo."Wulan said while slightly sleepy.
"Yes hello, what are you?"Ask Ibrahim.
"In the house."Wulan said with a little sleepy.
"Oh..."Ibrahim.
"Where have you been ?"Ask Wulan.
"I just got to the border."Ibrahim.
"Oh that's it."My Word.
"Sorry if it bothers you to rest."Ibrahim.
"It's okay, I'm sorry I didn't come to take you sailing."Wulan.
"It's okay baby, maybe you're a little sick so can't attend."Ibrahim.
"Thank you, you've got to understand me."Saying Ku.
"Yes are the same."Ibrahim.
"Oh yeah, I'd like to ask you there how long?"Ask Wulan curiously.
"About 6 months, at the end of December just after the New Year I've returned to Priuk."Ibrahim.
"Yes, it's still a long time dong."Wulan said sadly.
"Yes that way, how else would be his duty to serve the country dear. I hope you understand and can both be loyal to each other."Ibrahim.
"Yes, inshallah I can be faithful."My Word.
"Thank you."Ibrahim.
"Oh, if I go home, what do you want to bring?"Ask Ibrahim.
"No need to bring anything mas, the important thing is that you go home safely and come back in one piece is enough for me."Wulan.
"I love you even more."Ibrahim.
"Oh mas, the nights are dreadful."Wulan.
Now pangilan which used to turn into a video call at night.
Ibrahim strapped his bullets in front of Wulan.
"What do you want to do at night?"Ask Wulan curiously.
"You see, don't comment too much."Ibrahim.
Ibrahim's phone was set up in front of him, while Ibrahim made the inscription I LOVE YOU with his pistol bullets that he assembled.
Wulan who saw the writing was instantly shocked and smiled to herself.
"I Love You Wulandari."Ibrahim.
"Love More Mas."Wulan.
"You like it?"Ask Ibrahim.
"Yes, I like it."Wulan.
"Alhamdulillah if you like."Ibrahim.
"Mas, I want to dong at the gigikan using guitar with you."Wulan.
"I can't do it baby."Ibrahim smiled.
"Then anyway?Ask Wulan.
"Dear, my voice is not good."Ibrahim said.
"It's okay, I just want to hear it."Wulan maksa.
"I'll sing it to you. Wait for the situation on the ship is not too crowded, because many are disturbing if made like that."Ibrahim.
"All right, sir."Wulan.
"You have slept, for it is very late at night. It's not good for girls to sleep at night."Ibrahim.
"I was asleep, but you called me to wake up again."Wulan smiled.
"Yes, I miss you, so I just call you."Ibrahim.
"Yes, it's okay I'm happy instead. Thank you for writing the bullet."Wulan.
"Dear, you are sleeping. I'll send this to you so you have a beautiful dream."Ibrahim.
"Thank you, I'm sleeping first. Assalamallaikum."Answer Wulan.
"Getishalight."Ibrahim.
The video ends when Wulan goes back to sleep and puts her phone next to the bed. Before going to bed, Wulan changed his clothes with a nightgown and then saw his phone there was a message coming in from Ibrahim. Wulan immediately opened the message, and saw the message turned out to be a photo that Ibrahim had sent to Wulan.
A picture of a bullet with the words I LOVE YOU
Wulan who got such a picture message made her heart flower. Now Wulan returned to rest while putting back the phone.
Morning time.
Wulan took her phone and called Ibrahim to ask him how he was doing.
"Hallo mas, good morning."My Word.
"Yes morning."Ibrahim.
"Have you reached NATUNA yet?"Ask Wulan.
"The ship will soon land there."Ibrahim.
"Oh..."My Word.
Now the phone changed pangilan, from the usual pangilan to a video call.
"You want to see not the sea?"Ask Ibrahim.
"Where to see?Ask me a curious.
Ibrahim immediately pointed to the sea and he immediately wrote a paper on his chest that read "Wait for Me to Return".
Making Wulan glare and smile to herself. Then not only that Ibrahim took a guitar and played a song called Love Letter For Wulan.
Cecidote...
A Love Letter to Wulan.
For you, my life and death
I don't know what words to write it anymore
Or in what words I express it
Because for the blessed time
You made me come back to believe in the word love
And true, that love still reigns above all else
When this fragile heart
Tested by the mundane, tested by the material for the umpteenth time
Again, again, and again
I write memories of
The way I found you
About what makes it easy
Give my heart to you
It won't end a million songs
To tell your beauty
'It's a long poem
'Not to express this love
It's over this love
No more for the world
Because I've spent it
The rest of my love is for you
I've been thinking about
My life without you
Can it be more beautiful than
Which I have been running until now?
I always dreamed about
Lovely old days with you
Stay pretty your long hair
Although it will not be black anymore
When it's time
No longer rest on the world
I have spent
The rest of my life is for you
And it's over this love
No more for the world
Because I've spent it
The rest of my love is for you
REFF: When seasons change
Until time stops
Even though the world hates
'I'll stay here
When the time is up (When the season changes)
No longer rest on the world (Until time stops)
I have spent (If the world hates)
The rest of my life is for you ('I'll stay here)
It's over this love (When the seasons change)
No longer left for the world (Until time stops)
For I have spent (If the world hates)
The rest of my love is only for you ('I'll stay here)
Because I've spent it
The rest of my love is for you.
Wulan just listened without much comment anything that makes the morning much more beautiful and colorful, although a little bit of the typical false voice of Ibrahim. But Wulan while enjoying it, having finished from singing the mornings.
"Where do you like not ?"Ibrahim asked raising his eyebrows while smiling.
"Yes, I like it."Wulan.
"Alhamdulillah if you like, how are you?"Ask Ibrahim.
"Alhamdulillah I'm good mas, Mas I want you to later make a video that was sent to me."I said a little maksa.
"Wkwkwk, you seem to be amazed by my voice."Ibrahim said to Wulan.
"That's enough to scare the rats at home."I said a little smile.
"Look down, I'll sing that song every day for you and make a video to send to you while I'm not busy here."Ibrahim.
"Thank you, sir."I said smiling.
"Yes, yes, then my ship will call again to land this."Ibrahim said as he looked towards the pier in front of him.
"Well Mas, if you have arrived at Natuna send a photo of you yes Mas."Wulan.
"Ready dear."Ibrahim.
"Assalamallaikum mas."Saying Ku.
"Getishalight."Ibrahim.
The phone call died and Wulan rushed back to work. But before leaving for work got the message that he must be fired from the village because he had changed his head.
"I've focused on working at Samsung."I ignored that message.
Wulan was getting ready to take a shower and go to work. After everything was done and Wulan went down.
"Good morning everyone."Say it with a big smile.
"By honey, you're this happy?"Ask Mama curious.
"Yes dong Ma, because if early in the morning must be excited and must be cheerful so that many rezeky who come."I said with a smile.
"Oh that's so good."Said Mama.
"I've already left, Ma."Say Wulan while kissing Mama.
"Heart on the road."Said Mama.
"Assynualallaikum!!!"Shouted Wulan.
"Grandoall."Answer Mama.
Wulan left home and headed to work. Wulan is at work.
"Have you heard Lan?"Ask Ratna.
"It's dong mba."Wulan smiled.
"Alhamdulillah if you have."Ratna.
"Yes thank God mba."My Word.
"You seem happy again, don't you?"Ratna asked.
"Hahaha you're always right if the person's prediction."Wulan laughed.
"Yes dong, why?"Ask Ratna.
"It's nothing mba."Said I smiled.
"If you don't want to tell a story."Ratna.
"Yes mba, we better get to work first."Wulan.
Ratna just nodded and the two of them returned to work for a lot of sales today. Wulan was busy all day working until he forgot to ask the news that Ibrahim had arrived at the inn or not.
"Astagfirullohalazim I forgot nanya mas, He has arrived at the inn or not yet ya."Inner Wulan patted the eel.
Wulan took her phone and sent a message to Ibrahim.
"Assalamallaikum mas, have you arrived at NATUNA yet?Ask Wulan.
"Dear, it's just finished praying."Said Ibrahim while sending his picture out of the mosque around NATUNA.
"Okay, don't flirt in there."Wulan.
"Hahaha you know that here are many beautiful women."Ibrahim said to Wulan.
"Yes, you know, I'm just trying to tell you."Wulan.
"Yes, it won't."Ibrahim.
"Well I keep your promise, have you eaten a mas?"Ask Wulan.
"It was time to get to the location directly in search of food."Ibrahim.
The voice of Adzan...
"Yes, I want to pray first."My Word.
"Yes the diligent prayer. Assalamallaikum."Ibrahim.
"Getishalight."Wulan.
The phone died and Wulan went to pray first. After Wulan returned from the prayer, Wulan Langsunh returned to work. Time passed quickly, now Wulan had to return home.
"Well, I'll go home first."I said goodbye while cipika cipiki.
"She be careful on the road."Ratna.
"Yes, thank you."Wulan.
Wulan finally went home and waited for an online ojek in front of the mall. Finally the Wulan ojek order came and Wulan also left to go home.
Wulan in front of the house.
Geck...Geck...Geck... The sound of the door on the knock
"Asnalaluallaikum!"Wulan opens her shoes in front of the house.
"Waalaikumsalam Sis."Denny said.
"You opened the door, not as usual."Wulan said in wonder.
"Yes Mama's cooking in the kitchen, so I'm the one who opens."Denny.
"Oh like that."Wulan.
They both went into the house. And Wulan went back into her room to clean up and charge her phone. After Wulan finished changing clothes Wulan directly help Mama to prepare their dinner.
"Ma, is there anything I need to help you with?"Ask Wulan.
"No brother, it's all over."Mama smiled.
Wulan just nodded and returned to the dining table while waiting for the others to come, finally they had dinner with the family. After finishing dinner, Wulan helps Mama to wash the dishes before returning to her room.
"Finally it's done too."Wulan said taking a breath.
"When you're done, you go back to the room, brother."Said Mama.
"Yes Ma, I'll go to the room first."My Word.
Mama just nodded, and Wulan returned to her room. After Wulan arrived at the room, his phone saw that there were many incoming messages and missed calls from Ibrahim.
"I forgot to tell you that I'm home and I'm home."Saying Ku.
Wulan called Ibrahim.
Tut's...Tut's...Tut's...
"Not lifted up, is it?"Inner Wulan asked.
"Is he busy at times?"Wulan muttered in wonder.
"I'll just turn the phone off, and I'll just send you a message."Wulan.
Wulan sent a message to Abraham.
"Assalamallaikum mas, sorry for the news to you. You see, I was on the street going home and just got home."Wulan.
There was no response from Abraham. Wulan immediately put her phone on the table and took a laptop to do her college assignments.
Wulan who was busy doing the task of college without checking her phone. After completing from college assignments Wulan took his phone to check it again fearing a message from Ibrahim.
"No, there's no reply."Wulan said in wonder.
"Have left it, maybe he was busy practicing there."Wulan.
Wulan put back her phone that had been seen apparently there was no reply at all.
Wulan looking for vacancies around teaching at one of the elementary schools in the bekasi area, who knows there are still vacancies to be a cashier or administration in there. But everyone answered there was no vacancy.
"Aaaahhhh, again no vacancies!!!"Shouted Wulan annoyed.
"How can I pay for a house, the same college if rich ginih."Wulan said in frustration while ruffling her hair.
Wulan sat on the bed while putting her phone and laptop away. Wulan broke down and rolled over here while fidgeting erratically. Now Wulan had fallen asleep very soundly.
