AL-THAR
#92. Premises

...Continue on!...

Mira's eyes twinkled watching the two babies who looked cute and adorable in front of her now. While his hands occasionally rub the stomach, because soon he will feel the euphoria of having the first child. Like Shelia and Sabrina.

Earlier, Athar invited her to forcibly pick up baby Ray –son from Dirga and Sabrina– who was a month older than Fathia, her son Shelia. It was after yesterday that Mira told the truth about her brother to Athar, her husband.

At first, only Sabrina will come to Mama Mira's house. Surely yes, his son was five months old. There's no way he's far from the baby. But then, Dirga followed an hour later.

"Lo gapain?" athar asked flatly to his brother, Dirga.

"According to you?"

His sister just slicked her shoulders.

"Nemenin's wife's son."

"Oh."

Currently they are in the family room where there is a wide mattress on the floor, for the two babies are lined together. The position of the babies is now equally prone and holding the toy in hand.

Shelia and Sabrina are talking about their baby. Starting from weight, behavior, sleep and eating habits, and so forth.

Although Mira ...

"Tia, you'll need a diet later. You're bigger than Lakeswara when you're a month younger?"

Yeah, correct. Mira rambled as if she was chatting with the two babies. "When you haven't done it yet, Tia. What if I start snacking? Add endud dong, hehe ..." then Mira turned her head. "You are handsome" he told the son of his sister-in-law. "Yes, you. You're the most handsome one here. But your name is complicated to call it. Lakeswara–"

"Ray aja, Mir," said Dirga who sat on the sofa with Athar. "Taken from Raynar."

"Oh .. okay. Good is easy."

"Do you have a name for your baby?" sabrina asked Mira and Athar.

"There's dong" said Athar casually. It made Mira look at him confused. "Masa? How come I'm not told?"

"Secret, Honey ..."

"Cock secret? The pregnant one is me. The one carrying this big belly is also me. Not Brother. How can a name for a prospective child who is now cool in my stomach but I'm not even told?"

Dirga laughed without a sound. Same with Shelia. Sabrina was the only one who spoke slowly. "Where can that be ..."

"Rubber!" exclaim Mira spirit because there are those who support. Now she widened her eyes demanding answers from her husband.

"I have so many choices. Later if you're sure of one choice, then I'll tell you, Al."

"Why not deliberation?" this time it was Dirga who supported Mira.

"Well! Right again! Why don't you ask me to deliberate? Who is pregnant?"

"Think of being pregnant is a simple yes .." said Shelia slowly.

Athar gave up when everyone in the house turned into a stove. He only jokes with his wife. But what happened was different.

"Sorry, Al. I'm kidding."

...---...

"Geez, you're not on leave yet?" Abay greeted Mira that morning. As a good lackey, ralat– as a good friend, his hand reflexes take over objects from Mira's hands. Abay always helped when he found Mira carrying many books like now.

"But, very good, Mang Ujang." Puput chuckles.

"He's good to get a salary from Bang Athar." Pram is always talking facts, even though it hurts.

"Whatever you say, Indonesians. I am bodo very. 'The important thing is that Bang Athar is not stingy with me, oi."

"Well, right. What I said." Pram embraces Mira and they begin to walk towards the building where their lecture will begin shortly. "See how much is he?" ask her to Mira.

Mira shook her head briefly. "Don't know. And I don't want to know. It's Bang Athar's business to give alms Abay,"

"Ah shit, woi! I am not the recipient of Ye. Uh but– this morning. Whatever you say, I bodo very ~ that matters I much money ... yuhuu ...."

Pram, Mira and Puput ignore their one friend. Then Pram hints at Puput to get closer to him and Mira. He was about to say something that no one else should know except the four of them.

"What the hell? We want to hunt for treasure, right? How is Mimir's fate? Bunting big. Yes, I have to carry it? Paid no matter how much I didn't get–awww," Abay rubbed his cheek that Mira had just pulled.

"Nobody is not strong. I'm only 60kg."

"just anyone? That 60kg rice weighs, Mir."

"I'm rice?"

Abay cengennesan's.

"Gue 60kg both. Lah lo, Bay .. more than 60kg alone."

Mira's words just made Abay kicep successful. "Ah, dammit. I'm not that heavy, kali."

"Related?" mira's eyes deliberately glanced at Abay's distended stomach imprinted behind her shirt. Intentionally Mira rubbed her stomach and gave a wide grin to her friend. "Some bumil don't fuss over it."

"Dialan–"

Pram became anxious because the important talk was interrupted. "I am horrified" he whispered seriously, interrupting the ravings of Mira and Abay. His three friends returned.

"What the hell–" Pram smothered Abay's mouth before the guy made up free again.

"Gue," Pram took over again. "Next week will be merried." He hinted his index finger at his own lips, so that his three friends understood to keep his secret.

The sentence was so relaxed and flat that Pram, who had recently cried blood to face his problem. That is according to Mira's judgment.

"Can't you?" Soup whispers. He who has been told about Pram's verdict with Raihan was confused. "Who's Merried, Pram? Isn't it jomlo?"

"Cock impromptu, Pram?" Abay glares. But his voice whispered as well. "Don't you .. hamidun?"

Abay received a spicy-feeling tabokan on his arm. Who else if not Pram. "Don't gossip! I'm asking you if it's my slander."

Else Abay and Puput were shocked, then Mira more detailed the question. "Where? How can you be sincere? sure you won't regret it?" Not what, Mira is seriously worried about the problem Pram that one. It wasn't a month or two that he knew Pram or Ryo. The two were friends of Mira in a matter of years. How stubborn Pram's head was, as well as how strange Ryo's thoughts were now, made Mira confused as well as worried.

Pram looked at Mira meaningfully. He clearly understood his best friend's worries. "Gue just went through it."

"Huh?"

"Calm, Mir. I am strong. Whatever happens, I will do it. One day if I can't, I'll give up. I've done what my parents wanted."

"But, Pram,"

"Gue proved that I was an obedient child, Mir. No matter how broken my heart is, my parents are still in their minds. So why would I destroy myself more if it would only impact just me alone. I am the loser. Okay, if they want me to marry Ryo. Keep alive! Who's afraid! After I merried later, then automatically the responsibility of my parents against me was released. After that, I will take responsibility for myself. Bad, bad, happy pain, only I know and only I have the right to decide; whether to continue the marriage or not. My parents deserve nothing more."

The three friends were silent. Until a while later Mira said, "But the wedding was no joke, Pram ..."

"Who wants to mess with them or me anyway, Mir? If they understand what I can account for, they will never force me. So it's obvious here, that's more toward who's messing around."

"But, Pram ..." I swear, Mira hasn't been willing to see Pram suffer. Tears when Pram was forced to release Raihan still Mira clearly remembered how deep her best friend felt. Then if now this is the case, then Mira also felt sad as Pram felt.

"Lo be calm anyway." Pram rubbed Mira's stomach slowly. "Gue knows very well how Ryo and his crazy feelings towards you."

Mira shook her head slowly. "But I'm not willing to sacrifice myself. A little bit of this is happening because of me, isn't it?"

"Don't say that. Don't mistake yourself, Mir. It just became one of the reasons for my soul mate. Well, even though I don't know how long my soul mate will be with him. But it's all fate. Qodarullah, a term that Raihan often mentions all this time."

Mira just found out that it turns out Raihan did bring a quite positive impact in Pram's life.

"With no meeting lo sama Ryo, it's definitely the story of my life will meet him in the end. And I don't have to envy someone else's beautiful story. I just need to be grateful that my life story is not as bad as other people."

Pram right. Life should look down, not up. If for a motivation, then we should look at those who succeed in life. But when it comes to destiny, all we need to do is be grateful. Because there are still many whose destiny is much worse with problems that are far more severe than our own problems.

When we are grateful for whatever we get in this life, then soon we will reap wisdom for everything that happens.

Why am I experiencing this? Why does this have to happen to me?

The answer is only one ...

Because God believes that I am the only one capable of dealing with this problem.
