Waiting Morning

Akbar's disappointment

Before leaving Beena, Reyna's phone suddenly rang an incoming call. Apparently, Akbar called him.

"Hallo.yes mas"

"Rey, have you arrived?"

"Yes, Na just came in"

"Can we meet for a minute?"

"Can"

"Ok, we met at the orange cafe".

Akbar immediately hung up his phone, glad to be able to contact Reyna. People who are of course profitable to ask for help in order to solve the problem.

And for Reyna, there was no reason to reject Akbar's invitation. He was already anxious as the man who could make Beena shed tears. Of course this will Reyna use to find out, after all the way to drive Beena home he was overwhelmed by curiosity. What the hell is it?

Fifteen minutes from Beena's apartment to the cafe in question. Reyna had already seen Akbar in the same clothes as the last he saw. Still with shabby conditions, but does not fade the charismatic charm of a soldier.

"Rey..." Akbar waved his hand.

Reyna headed straight towards Akbar. He sat opposite Akbar. With a sour face and curious Reyna immediately rained the question on the man he used to call the ghost of the sea.

"Mas Akbar said until he made Na nangis so!" he said as his mouth clenched and folded his hands in front of his chest.

"Ok, I was wrong with Beena. But he's all right now, isn't he?"

"Well what! Ma'am Na doesn't usually sleep in the car all the way home. That means he's not okay with ghosts".

"I mean, Beena can still communicate well, right?"

"Yes, and you know it's not a ghost. Ma'am Na is great, still want to go to work tomorrow morning when his eyes must still look moist after the cry earlier".

"Alhamdulillah" Akbar smiled with relief at Reyna's explanation.

"Lho, thank God. Obviously this is a condition that concerns his girlfriend who can still say thank you" while a little emotion Reyna expressed her disappointment by sipping out the drink in front of him.

Sruputt's...

"well, how leaked the glass" Reyna nodded to realize the absurdity.

"You want Rey?"

"By the mas, I can.because it's"

Akbar gave the waitres a code to add to his order.

While waiting for the order to come Akbar explained today's incident to Reyna. Why did Beena cry and why there was a duel between Akbar and Nizar. Reyna only the mangosteen heard Akbar's story. It was only fitting for Beena to be that tenacious to Akbar, the man who would become Beena's husband in a matter of months.

"Mas, I'm sorry it's night.I'm saying goodbye first huh?"

"Okey, thank you for bringing Beena safely and for being a good listener.Please leave Beena, maybe for the next few days I can't contact Beena.But I'll keep trying to do that, yes.pass you Rey"

"Take it easy ghost, I'm ready to be the intel of the ghost. But barter same cogan in Marine yak". Reyna smiled revealing her neat teeth while twisting her curly hair.

"Just calm down, cogan stock is still a lot. Want a company what's a platoon?"

"Gak.gak.becanda mas, for the good of mbak Na and mas Akbar I am ready to help with ge-ra-tis"

"Ok, I'm saying yes"

"Don't forget to let Beena know tomorrow morning".

Akbar and Reyna parted ways by entering their vehicles to their own homes.

***

Two days after the incident, Beena was more silent. He also did not want to pick up the phone or reply to Akbar's text. Beena spent more time at FirstTv.

It was not that Beena had forgotten her promise to always be loyal to Akbar. But Beena thinks much more than that. He imagines the complexity of their relationship in the future if bad events befall his household midwife with the presence of other women.

Getting married to the military is not easy. And if there's a divorce, the military's divorce is a lot harder. He could not sacrifice his children.

When ever you go, though,

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Beena's phone rang, whether this was Akbar's call to how much he ignored.

“ Mbak Na, hp his sound tu!”

Reyna tried to remind me.

“ Biarin Rey, ntar also died alone. I'm busy” replied Beena while pretending to be busy in front of her computer.

“ Mbak Na, said pak ustadz not good you fight more than three days”

Reyna grimaced, fearing that she might mislead Beena whose religious knowledge was far above her.

“ Astaghfirullah” Beena jerked, he rushed to take his hp. Realizing that he had been ignoring Akbar for two days.

Beena walks half-run outside her study, choosing the safest and most private place for her to communicate with Akbar. Yeah, Beena finally picked the pantry. This place is the safest in hours like this. Not many people visit the pantry at lunchtime. Because all employees choose cafeteria.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” Beena raised the call from Akbar.

“ Alaikumussalam, Bee. Ii'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I have to do what let you forgive me.”

“ You do not have to do anything mas, just give me time to think about this all”

“ You mean?”

“ We have to think about our step forward is right or not. I don't want us to choose the wrong”

“ No Bee, I will not choose you wrong. You are the most appropriate wife candidate for me, a good mother for my children later”.

"What about Mary?"

"I'm just his ex-adjutant, baby. And I only respect my superiors, Mr. Bram".

"Mas, you know. Mary loves you so much and it won't be easy for her to let you go for me. And he'll have every way to always be close to you. And I don't want it if after marriage, this thing happens again"

"Bee, please believe me. You're my only strength for now, you're my future".

I don't know what else Akbar has to prove to Beena for her to believe.

As for Beena, hearing the word future made her even more sliced. She remembered Mary's words to her. Only Mary can guarantee Akbar's future, karir Akbar.Dengan the power of General Bram, his father is certainly not a difficult matter.

“ The future?mas career! Wouldn't it be if with Mary you could reach her?”

Out of intuition from where, until Beena immediately threw the words to Akbar.

“Bee, you know I'm not a crazy person!”

Akbar's direct connection broke up to hear the direction of the conversation in the office that had never been terbesit in Akbar's mind.

Can't believe Beena dared to go that far. And it really demeans Akbar. Lowering his self-esteem by comparing his love with his job title.

Akbar really felt at his lowest point. The person he thought understood his condition the most, was now the one who lowered his self-esteem.

Mary is currently the person who is most happy with this situation. He still has a chance to get close to Akbar again, while the two choose the path for introspection.

Mary was always looking for a loophole where she could recapture Akbar's attention. No matter what way he has to go.
