Still continuing...
Night atmosphere...
The long night is about to begin, and Arman and his entourage of troops have reached the airport to then continue their journey by military plane to Papua.
Before that, the troops were given time to rest. Arman and his colleagues took advantage of his rest time to pray and eat.
After praying at the mosque, Arman sat leaning on a large pillar of the terrace.
He took the cell phone in his pants pocket. There is a picture of Hani and himself when taking pictures together, becoming a wallpaper on the black phone.
Tut. tut's....
Arman made a call. A phone call to Hani, the wife.
A moment later the call was answered..
"Assalamualaikum mas... mas again where? " answer a voice that is none other than Hani.
"Waalaikumsalam, mas again in the mosque, the airport mosque will soon fly deck, continued his prayer well.. What else is it? " ask Arman.
"Again sitting in the backyard mas, with Aldo... mas already pray? has maem not?" Hani asked back.
"Honey, don't sleep at night, hurry in, the night breeze is not good for health... Hani don't forget to eat well," replied Arman smiling.
Agus and Dafa who saw his senior's face were happy as well. They are happy because all this time the Arman they know is rarely seen happy when receiving or calling. Tonight they understood the situation because Arman's heart was happy to call his wife.
After a long conversation, Arman ended his call. Keep the phone back in his pocket.
He saw his two loyal colleagues sitting with Arman.
"You didn't tell the house people? " ask Arman on both.
"Have bang.I wa my brother if I will soon fly to Papua." replied Agus.
"So I called the family in Aceh, while there was no signal apparently bang,, so I sent a message. "sahut Dafa while scratching his non-itchy head. Arman nodded in understanding.
There was the sound of sirens marking the gathering of troops. The roar of the hercules plane's propeller was heard violently breaking the silence that night.
Arman and the others immediately prepared for the plane that would take them to fulfill the noble task.
"Bismillah.. O Allah protect us, protect our family, please allow our hearts to move forward, may this journey be smooth to the end. Aamiin "Arman prays in his heart while carrying his backpack, walking steadily towards the plane and the country duties that await him.
The shadow of Hani's cute face, Arni's mother, Shasa, Aldo, Hani's mother, and Arya's mas all crossed his mind.
"It is easy for God to let us meet again.wait for my arrival.." said Arman.
Minutes later, the hercules aircraft carrying the troops took off from the airport. Redeem the darkness of the night, bring a million hopes to fulfill obligations, depart for the country and go home for love. That is the sentence that is in Arman's heart today. For the first time served with hope and the spirit of defending the country, until finally reunited with the loyal love that awaits him.
*****
While at the Sandalwood house...
Hani was very happy to receive a call from Arman. Arman called and told him he was there. Hani prayed that God would always protect her husband.
"O Allah, protect my husband wherever he is. Take care of him.Give us great sincerity" Hani prayed in his heart.
Aldo, who heard his brother-in-law call earlier, was very happy. Because from returning home to deliver Arman, he saw Hani had not smiled at all. Tonight he saw his sister's sweet smile again.
"Sister... Aldo promised, will take care of brother, although Aldo is still in 5th grade but Aldo sure will be willing to do anything for the happiness of brother and mother." Aldo sat there playing the phone in his hand. This child is not pretentious, but circumstances force him to think mature, even Hani often forbid him to behave like that. Hani felt sorry for Aldo, the boy who should play with his friends at this age, instead Aldo chose to stay at home just to help or accompany his brother and mother.
Aldo stopped his steps and said.. "Aldo still want to watch TV kak , tonight there is a favorite club ball Aldo kak, can ya watch? " aldo pinta.
"Alright but you don't sleep too late, tomorrow we'll visit the mother of the deck, go to bed if you're already sleepy!" hani said with a smile.
Aldo nodded at his brother's orders. In spirit he walked towards the living room, sat on the lower carpet and turned on the TV.
Hani let her sister watch her favorite show. Watching a wall clock perched on a TV shelf showed at 20:30, he headed for the main room.
"Da. da.dah brother Hani, good night good night sleep" Aldo waved his hand at Hani.
"Good night, don't forget brother's message! " said Hani then, while opening the door of his room, leaving Aldo who began to be engrossed with TV shows.
Hani cleans up before going to bed, changing into a baby doll that Arman bought her. Until now Hani has not packed his clothes that are still in the mother's house. The plan is tomorrow he will come to visit and bring his goods to be moved to Arman's house.
Hani also lay down comfortably. Her heart was a little relieved after receiving a call from her husband.
When going to turn off the lights, Hani's phone suddenly vibrates indicating the battery is weak.
"Ahh apparently I forgot to wash my phone, where forgot the charger is still at home mom, maybe mas Arman has a backup charger." grunts Hani down from the bed and look for a charger.
It was one drawer at a time in Arman's room. There was nothing she was looking for, until the last drawer that was attached to the new dresser in Arman's room. Maybe Miss Arni knows that after marriage later Arman will need a dressing table for his wife, so Arni prepares the new furniture in the main room.
In the drawer. Hani's eyes were fixed on two small boxes and a letter.
Two boxes, small pink and one medium-sized box batik patterned. In his passing the box, he was more interested in a letter there.
He received the letter that read..
" To. Hani my lovely "
"It's a letter to me, isn't it, from whom? is it from Mas Arman ? it is written here...... To Hani.but why didn't Arman say anything about this letter on the phone. If I open it, will you be angry? " murmurm Hani.
Hani... "Ahhh but I'm going to tell you. Let me just open it, tomorrow if Arman calls I'll tell him and ask him. "
Hani slowly opened the envelope. Take out the letter and read it with your heart.
"Assalamualaikum dek. sorry I deliberately wrote this message because I did not have time to tell you. Mas know when you read this letter, 'mas Arman has gone to work. This is how the deck. mas deliberately wrote this letter, telling me that the two small boxes that I accidentally put in your dresser drawer are Hani's. Pink color is from me. Open it, it's a personal gift that I give specifically for you. mas desire anyway will mas give moment before we spend the first night, hehe sorry well... hope you like .. then the second box is a gift from Arya mas, you use it well, .. sorry again mas can not give you directly deck, time constrained and busy mas. I hope Hani understands this emergency... I love you Hani ", Arman wrote in the letter.
Hani smiled and trembled, in view of the words strung together in the contents of Arman's letter. Arman is neither melancholy nor romantic, but he tries to make Hani's mood improve after her departure.
Hani puts the letter on the dresser, then picks up the pink box from Arman. He watched it for a moment and then opened it.. Hani is stunned to see a golden necklace with a pendant in the shape of the letter "A " .
"Didn't Arman give up the dowry of a set of jewels in the mosque this morning, why still give another necklace here?" hani Gumam. Indeed, until now Hani has not opened a dowry box containing jewelry from Arman, because Hani's mother saved and brought him home earlier, after seeing Hani and Arman returned to the sandalwood house.
Hani takes out the necklace, then drapes it to his neck that level, hooking it tightly so as not to miss the necklace given by Arman.
"Sweet... Hani likes to thank you mas. "back Hani muttered alone, looking at himself in front of the glass.
Then Hani opened the second box there is a brown envelope, opened the envelope, it turns out that in it contains the letter of the BPKB motor matic vehicle on behalf of himself, complete with a letter and the Key motor. There was a small note written...
" The motor will be delivered to the sandalwood house, August 8 "
"It's not 8 tomorrow right" murmured Hani.
Hani reinserted the letter and gave a lot of thanks. Hani saves all those gifts, and walks out to borrow a charger on Aldo.
After washing his phone, Hani stepped onto the bed, laying down his tired body. It didn't take long to fall apart and resonate with his dream.
