LOVE FOR FOUR SOLDIERS

LOVE FOR FOUR SOLDIERS
THE WAIT IS ENDLESS


Natalia relaxes to enjoy her favorite breakfast on Saturday morning. A plate of sausage fried rice, a cup of chocolate and peanut-cooked barbecued toast topped with grated cheese, a cup of hot milk coffee, and a glass of strawberry juice. Four breakfasts for him every Saturday and Sunday. Bambang has taken a shower. He joined in on his breakfast of vegetables, steamed fish, and a glass of low-fat, high-calcium milk.


"Lia, when will you start to live healthy? You always consume fastfood, fatfood, and high caffeine. Besides, you are lazy to exercise and you often sleep late every night!"


"Lia promise! I am going to do Papa's every good advice and ease my every bad habit! It will be started tomorrow, Pa!"


Natalia shows two right fingers swearing in response to her papa protest. Bambang averted his gaze while feeding food to the mouth.


Natalia glanced at her papa then started the conversation very carefully.


"Pa, Lia heard that brother Arvida phoned you last night. Brother Arvida asked to meet with Papa, but Papa refused it. What is wrong, Pa? Seems, both of your relationships has started to be worth. Is there any big problems to appear between Papa and Kak Arvida?"


Bambang laughed mischievously.


"Who told you that, Lia?"


"I told me, Papa!"


Bambang almost spouted his food hearing Natalia's silly answer.


"Our relationship is fine so far. Last night I refined her request because I was still having fever, Lia."


"Okay. Lia just don't want to find out any problems between Papa and Kak Arvida. I like her! She is the only one whom I allow to get close to you, Papa. Lia trust on her very much! She is a good woman! She is the most suitable woman for Papa will be wife!"


"Hmmm ...!"


Natalia did not like her papa's brief response. Something was hidden his papa, but he decided not to discuss.


"Pa, let's take Mr. Arvida down the road, yuk, today. Papa accompany us both shopping."


Bambang reluctantly agrees to her daughter's request, but Natalia's suspicion will arise if she refuses.


Bambang, Arvida, and Natalia visit Lotte Mall on Prof street. DR. Satrios. Arvida and Natalia entered almost all women's supply outlets ranging from bags, shoes to clothes, but none of their items were purchased.


"Is Arvina like Arvida when it comes to shopping?"


Bambang's face Arvina.


"Pa, let us go! We didn't find anything interesting stuffs!"


Natalia broke Bambang's concentration.


"Mas Bambang, are you still sick?"


"No, I am not, Vid. I stared at nothing."


Bambang is afraid to lie to Arvida by saying he is sick because Natalia continues to observe his every move.


"Let us have lunch. It's 12 now!"


"Mad, Bibik had met this time when the bed was neatin Mr."


Bik Minah handed a diamond earring to Achmad and left him. Achmad looked at the earrings. Suddenly his face changed. He went to Aunt Minah's kitchen.


"Sir, about this diamond earring please do not be told to anyone including Mr. I'll do it."


Bik Minah agreed to Achmad's request.


Arvina realises that her diamond earring on the left ear is missing. He took his earring off the right earring. He recalled where the earrings might have fallen. A pair of diamond earrings was bought by Hans to wear during the Martuppol event. Arvina was sad to imagine that the earrings were not found. Havi's cry shocked him. He comes to Havi who is being persuaded to spend milk by her nanny.


Bambang House is enlivened by the ravings of Arvida and Natalia. Bambang was in his bedroom waiting for a reply to a message from Arvina. The anger of two hours of waiting without any reply Arvina spurred her to want to be near Arvida, but Bambang was hesitant and Natalia understood.


"Sir Arvida, I need to meet with my friend! She suddenly had time as she told me."


Natalia reasoned to Arvida. He knocked on his mother's bedroom door and said the same thing.


Arvida who missed Bambang and Bambang who longed for Arvina brought them together. Bambang and Natalia ask Arvida to stay. A glimmer of sweet hope grows in Natalia's heart for her papa and Arvida's relationship.


Natalia continued to snore despite Arvida's continued awakening. Bambang came to Natalia's bedroom and caused a little commotion so that her naughty daughter woke up. Natalia had to open her eyes.


"Pa, permit me to skip off CFD this morning only, please! I am still sleepy."


Every Sunday morning, a small fight occurs because Bambang requires Natalia to participate in sports. At this time, Bambang was lazy to argue. He immediately took Arvida away. Natalia breathed a sigh of relief. He can continue to sleep.


Arvida and Bambang, accompanied by three Bambang aides, Achmad, Farid, and Peter, sat on the sidewalk and finished running. Arvida's phone reads. There's a call from Arvina.


"Yes, Vin?"


....


"I don't know, Babe. But, I will ask Roni to look for it. Stop, it fell down in my car!"


....


"Yes, Vin. Hye!"


Bambang's heart was beating fast hearing the name Arvina called.


"What happened, Vid?"


"Arvina lost her left earring. She just realized it last morning."


"How is the model?"


"It's a diamond one, but I forgot to ask how the model was."


Achmad who was drinking coughed. Her face was red because Arvida's explanation of the missing left Arvina diamond earrings made drinking water enter her nose. Achmad stole the look on his boss's face.
