Waiting Morning

Finally, I'm engaged

The morning after breakfast, Beena heads to the post where Bimo rests. There are Billy, Bimo and Nizar.

“Pagi bang “

Sapa Beena then sat down near Billy who was having breakfast.

“ Have breakfast, Na?” ask Billy.

“ Already bang. Where's bimo?”

“ Noh, again queue take breakfast with Nizar also”

“ How was yesterday ?”

“ What is bang?” Beena doesn't understand what Billy means.

“ Reunion equals purple beret”

“ I’m engaged “ Beena sumringah while showing the pretty brooch from Akbar.

“ Wow, I'm overtaking. Oh my God don't let long-time servants be in a match, said Billy in a seductive style.

“ Udah ah, not fun to discuss ginian ahead of work” cut Beena.

Bimo and Nizar join Beena.

“ Assalamu’alaikum mas”

“ Alaikumussalam, cheerful actually you Na” replied Nizar.

Beena answered Nizar's statement with her sweet smile.

“ Oh yes Bim. Our schedule is coverage until the afternoon right?”

“ Yes, we will go to the location of PT Andalas and the location of the mass grave with a live event every two hours once”, replied Bimo.

“ Why mbak? Any appointments?”

“ No, anyway. Just make sure the schedule is" ' Beena replied.

" Oh yes, he said someone would like to talk. Maybe we can chat when I'm free at lunchtime, how?” .

" Hm...lunch time huh?" nizar said as he tapped his finger at the table . Making sure if the time to be chosen is the right time for him to express his heart.

Making sure if everything will end beautifully as Nizar imagined.

" If Nizar's busy, we'll find another time. After I accompany the kids at night, for example?"

" No, no, no night."

Nizar quickly replied.

" Pity your rest less later. Yeah, well, I'll have your samperin lunch, okay?".

" Okay, I'll wait for lunch"

Beena answered while looking at the clock, taking into account how much time he had to prepare on the sidelines of a very busy schedule.

Beena is indeed a disciplined and mature figure in terms of planning. That's why his co-workers love partnering with him.

After breakfast, they parted ways with their activities.

Beena did her job with Bimo, after traveling around the disaster area and then she composed a script to be a news anchor text that she would bring live.

During the hunt for news, and must be live anyway. Beena never touched his cellphone even just text Akbarpun he could not do. He really took his time to concentrate. After finishing all his duties right before the lunch break arrived, Beena took the time to contact Akbar.

Tuttl...

“ Assalamu’alaikum mas”

“ Alaikumussalam, where are you bee?”

“ Still on location mas coverage? How are his feet better?”

“ Thank God, the link has dried”.

“ Ok, take care yes mas. Oh yeah I want lunch first, I hung up!”

“ Ok, miss you Bee”

For Beena there is no time to mess around, maintaining important communication but must be to the point. He uses his time as efficiently and effectively as possible for useful things. Including contacting the people closest to him must be effective, do not let his time wasted.

After the connection was broken, Beena remembered her promise to Nizar. He typed the sentence in his mobile phone and immediately sent a messenger to Nizar.

“ Mas Nizar is busy? I have about 40 minutes at lunchtime”

“ Ok, I'm to there”

“ Sip, but I pray dzuhur first yes, hunt out time”

“ Ok”

While eating food rations that have passed lunch time. Nizar approached Beena who was on a long bench. He appears alone, while Bimo is far from where Beena ate.

" Na.." said Nizar as he waved his hand and ran towards Beena.

“ Sorry mas, me while eating huh? Have you eaten mas?”

“ Yes it is okay Na, I ate earlier in posko”.

Nizar slightly misbehaved, and confused began his conversation.For a while there was no chat between the two.

" Said anyone want to talk?" beena asked to break the stiff atmosphere that Nizar was experiencing.

Finally Nizar started his conversation, “ Two days later I went home Na. And before going home I want to say something to you”.

“ What yes mas, it seems very important” said Beena while eating rice wrap with greed.

“ Na, after you leave Jogja. There are many things I realize. Plus when you meet for the first time here but have to separate again because you returned to Jakarta. And hearing you come back here again, I felt like something was going on with my feelings. Moreover, our parents are already very hopeful about our relationship.

His adrenaline suddenly spurred so fast that it felt tight. Nizar sighed for a while, making sure that oxygen actually entered his respiratory tract.

"Na, I love you and I'm willing to wait for you”.

Heard a lengthy explanation from Nizar with the ending of his declaration of love making Beena choke.

Sontak Nizar grabbed the drinking water Beena held. Beena and Nizar's hands meet in the same glass. Nizar quickly took off his hand and let Beena gulp down her drink.

Nizar stood up and then switched the seating position to the side on the same bench.

"Beena be careful" Nizar said, patting Beena on the back. Getting a touch of Nizar's hand made Beena pull away, slightly shifted until there was a distance between the two.

Beena stopped the chewing. He folded the rice wrapper though there were still a few more spoons left.

The words that Nizar uttered suddenly made him feel full.

" Why Na, how did you eat it?"

Beena sighed, "i'm full" she replied softly.

Beena took a sip of water in her plastic cup once again, then took a regular breath.

“ Mas, I ever tell you about the purpose of waiting for someone? I owe you a promise to answer someone”'s proposal Beena said in a soft but firm tone, giving Nizar more understanding.

“ I'm willing to wait for you Na” replied Nizar cutting Beena's unfinished explanation he said.

“ Mas, why did I say never to wait for me let fate lead us. Because I know what it's like to wait patiently and it's not easy! But I believe God will guide my destiny. And now I'm at the end of my goal. I've met him, I've answered his proposal, mas”.

Degggm...

Nizar's heart seemed to stop, he felt weakness all over his body.

As much as possible, the man still collapsed his defense to hear the woman he loved turned out to have found the man he loved.

“ When did you meet and answer his proposal?” ask Nizar flat.

“ I met him yesterday, and answered his proposal last night mas”

“ Met yesterday?” mummy Nizar. “ You mean the man is here?”

“ Yes, he is here."

" Who is he?" nizar said slowly, but still quite audible in Beena's ear.

"His name is Akbar, Syaiful Akbar mas” Beena replied in a very soft tone, hoping that it did not make Nizar hurt.

Not believing what he found. Nizar must accept the reality, the Marine who the other day he knew turned out to be his love rival.

“ Mas, I'm sorry” Beena lowered her head.

Beena and Nizar were silent for a while. Nizar sighed and threw it away violently breaking the silence between the two.

“ Nothing Na, you are not wrong. At least when I return to Jogja later I can answer Abah's question equally ummi”.

" Abah sama ummi asked what is the same mas?" beena asked curiously, but Beena's question this time was not answered by Nizar. This made Beena feel even more unwell towards the Nizar family in Jogja.

“ Say sorry I'm the same abah and ummi “

“ Mbak , have you finished eating?” suddenly Bimo appeared in front of them.

Forced to end talks between Beena and Nizar

“ Yes, that's it. Which area is Bim? ask Beena.

“ Bakornas Posko PBP mbak. Want presscon updated victim data”

Beena moved from her seat, “ Ok. Mas , I say yes. Assalamu’alaikum”. Then he walked away from Nizar.

“ Alaikumussalam” replied Nizar limp.

" Mad doctor, I'm also saying yes" Bimo told Nizar who was a little astonished to see Nizar's facial mimic that was different from Nizar's usual. Plus Beena's unusual gesture.

" Mom Na why? bimo asked Beena.

Beena was indifferent to Bimo's question this time. With a flustered stride Bimo throws a glance at Beena and Nizar alternately.

" A..pussy me" Bimo scratched his head just like that.
