Waiting Morning
Reward to Lebanon
Bang Billy came to Beena who was daydreaming shortly after receiving a call from Akbar.
“ Bengong aja..”
Billy said, giving me a brown envelope.
“ What is this bang?”
“ Open aja” connect Billy with a smile.
“ Passport and Visa?” Beena doesn't understand.
“ The reward of mbak Mia”
“ Brother's intent?”
“ You and Bimo have been working hard during in Aceh last month. Your new year does not take time off and as a reward mbak Mia love you trust for coverage in Lebanon all streets”.
“Liputan for the bombing of the prime minister on February 14 yesterday bang?”
“ Yes, you are only 3 days of coverage duty. And 4 days you can take a walk.”
Hearing the Lebanese word implied for the first time in Beena's shadow was the poet he admired, Kahlil Gibran. He imagined being able to visit the hometown of the poet, Bcharri. And visit the authentic Kahlil Gibran museum.
Beena thought for a moment, maybe this is the way for her to be completely objective in choosing when she is away with Akbar, not contaminated with emotions.
As the example of the friend of Ali R.A who did not reciprocate the treatment of Amr bin Ash when he was being met with anger. He would rather leave Amr. After escaping from his anger then Sayyidina Ali approached Amr.
Ah..really, this is the right moment for him to neutralize his emotions. Coming home from Lebanon Beena can be completely clean of heart and mind.
He smiled at the flight ticket to Lebanon tomorrow morning.
Beena immediately searched for her cellphone and intended to ask her parents' permission.
Tut...
“ Assalamu’alaikum”
“ Wa’alaikumussalam”
“ Well, Beena tomorrow go to Lebanon there is coverage there. Please pray yes yah”
“ Na, aren't you waiting for the wedding process?”
“ Only a week yah”
“ Na, if I may give you advice mending do not have to go. Dad's worried about it there”
“ God willing all safe well, Beena go same Bimo too. This is a reward from the office, Beena and Bimo are given a vacation to LN yah”
“ Yes be careful. Oh yes you've been kidding Akbar?”
“ What need well?”
“ He is your future husband, make it a habit from now to ask for his permission. At least tell me if you want to do activities outside of”
“ Well well, after this Beena call mas Akbar. Beena hang up yeah yeah.”
Not long ago hp Akbar rang, saw Beena who called Akbar excited instead of playing. Beena's gonna call him. Although still a little disappointed because his phone an hour ago ended badly. At least, Beena still wants to apologize for the incident.
“ Assalamu'alaikum"
The sound of greetings from Beena this time sounded very melodious to Akbar. Though the greeting was used to be said Beena.
"Wa'alaikumussalam darling.”.
The greeting from Akbar was now clearly spoken softly. To the point that Beena was aghast. Obviously a few minutes ago Akbar unilaterally closed his phone. Is it true, Akbar is no longer angry?
Beena smiled, it would be very easy to get permission from her future husband with this heart condition.
“ Mas, I'm asking permission"
"Izin's?what permission, dear?"
Ah, hearing Akbar's tone like this makes Beena sure she can go to Lebanon tomorrow morning.
"Hm..anu mas, tomorrow I have coverage to Lebanon.”
"What's? To Lebanon? No.no... The conditions there are not good bee, after the bombing of the Lebanese prime minister there must be a lot of conflict".
" I've only been there a week, and I'm not alone. There's Bimo too"
“ But bee...”
“ Mas, this is a task from the office”
"Can't you refuse?we'll marry bee soon?"
"Mas, just like your soldier's oath.I also have a code of ethics journalism. Can ya?"
“ This is different baby, we want to get married. You should have been on vacation!"
Hearing the words of marriage, Beena increasingly thought hard to get the decision she had to take later. Don't let him make the wrong decision.
"Mas, I'm not selfish. We both have a code of ethics in our profession today.I promise after this I will be able to determine what answers are right for us"
"Why are you so stubborn gini anyway, bee?”
“ Mas, let me enjoy some quiet time. Think of it as a time for me to calm down.Ok” said Beena gently.
“ Alright, whatever calms you down. Do so. I love you bee”.
Beena closed her connection before she replied to Akbar.
“ Love you too mas” he said.
Across there, Akbar snorted in annoyance. Not because I didn't hear Beena's love you too answer. But because Akbar can't see Beena. Akbar's schedule was very dense, making him unable to meet his future wife. Before the wedding holidays, Akbar deliberately took all the duties in his unit.
In fact, Akbar himself sanctioned if he could take Beena just to the airport.
Arrrhghh...
The sound of Akbar's emotional outburst rang into Joseph's ears.
"The bride-to-be muddy urinals, like a lion lacking food.Why are you bang?" Yoseph asked curiously, hoping that the commander's problems would be over by the end of the day and even looked increasingly tangled.
"Beena there's a duty of reporting to Lebanon"
"Wih..cool, nice dong"
"Good head of yours, I have to endure the longing for a week".
"Don't dramatize you bang, miss all these years you can. A week into Lebanon my brother said he couldn't stand it" Joseph flicked his lips.
" After yesterday's incident, I couldn't see Beena. Next week's turn I've got Beena's afternoon free activities to Lebanon".
"Oh my God, so that's why you bang!After a week you will be satisfied to meet your woman".
Joseph chuckled at the sudden behavior of his senior like a brother who had just known love.
"Where can I take Beena back tomorrow"
"Please bang, just this week".
***
Tonight Beena packed her belongings for the next week in Lebanon. He is assisted Reyna.Ya, tonight Reyna is staying at Beena's apartment.
"Mbak Na seems very happy to go to Lebanon"
Beena smiled and nodded her head.He was still struggling with the contents of his suitcase.
"Mbak Na is better than Akbar, right?"
Beena did not answer him, but when viewed from the hue of the face and communication this afternoon it seems they have improved.
"Ah, thank God that Na has improved. That means my intel mission is done"
Oops...Reyna.
"What do you mean Rey?you're Akbar's spy?"
Reyna could not dwell, she could only grin the horse. And finally Reyna recounted the incident with Akbar in the cafe Orange, the night after delivering Beena with tears.
Beena did not blame Akbar completely, she just needed time to think about all her decisions later. Because Mary's obsession with Akbar will obviously be a stumbling block in her household later.
Drrt...
A message came in at Beena's phone from Akbar.
"Tomorrow flights at what time, bee?"
"At first, 6 o'clock"
"Sorry, I can't take you, baby"
"No pa pa"
"Love U, my Maryam Tabeena"
Beena had not had time to reply, hp Beena was lowbatt. He rushed to charge his cellphone so that tomorrow morning it is fully charged.
