Brother, I Love You
196. Testing faith

Ten Years later

Reyhan turned the door knob in front of him while pushing the door open.

"Assalamu alaikum Almira !" reyhan smiled.

"Greetings from Habib !" yumna lowered her head.

Yumna got out of bed, stepped up to welcome Reyhan who had just returned to work. Yumna put Reyhan's hand in and kissed him as usual, without seeing Reyhan's face.

Seeing that, Reyhan sighed, Reyhan knew that his wife was crying.

"Look at me Almira !" said Reyhan gently, raising one hand grabbing Yumna's chin, pointing her face towards him.

"What can Habib do, in order to get rid of the grief of Habib's wife ?" asked Reyhan looking at Yumna's face deeply." Say Almira !."

Yumna's tears poured back profusely from the corner of her eyes and her lips trembled.

"Why is it so hard the ordeal of loving you Habib ?" lirih Yumna's.

Reyhan also moved his fingers to remove the melts that had soaked Yumna's cheeks." Sorry !" Reyhan.

"I'm sorry for my lack you've become weak like this. Sorry that can't make you a perfect woman. I'm sorry !" Reyhan gulped down his saliva painfully, as he felt something stuck in his throat.

"Queen, Sirin, Nay, Aunt Diana, they're pregnant again. Their third child. And Sister Elisha was also pregnant with their second child. His wife Ghaisan Queen's sister too, had just gotten pregnant. His wife Nimas Calixto is also pregnant with a second child. And the wife of my brother's wife is also partially pregnant. I'm the only one who hasn't !." Yumna spoke with quivering lips and tears that kept rushing from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing that, Reyhan again swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his tears also flowed. Reyhan drew Yumna into his arms, and kissed her on the head, until tears poured down the head of the woman who had been with him for ten years.

"May God also hasten you to get pregnant dear !. God still wants to test us, test our patience, test our fortitude and faith. I'm sure, if you're going to get pregnant, God is going to give us a child" Reyhan said, calming his grieving wife.

"Habib ! can I ask Habib, to reduce Habib's activities to take care of the company. Maybe the soybean factor can also be the cause of us difficult to get children" pinta Yumna from inside Reyhan's arms.

"Habib can hand over the company to someone else for a while. We used to do a pregnancy program. We can go on vacation to a quiet place, we can do more solemn worship" said Yumna again.

"Sorry Habib !" Yumna paused her sentence." Habib has been too focused on building the company" he said again.

Reyhan was silent about what his wife said. Reyhan sighed, then nodded his head.

"I'm sorry dear Habib !" Reyhan. Pecking the tip of Yumna's head again.

"Habib has a gift for you !" Reyhan reached into his pants pocket, took out an envelope from it, gave it to Yumna.

"What is Habib !"ask Yumna.

Reyhan cleaned the rest of the tears on Yumna's cheek, then kissed the long forehead of the paradise angel.

"There were a couple who canceled their Hajj departure this year, because their health was not worth leaving. They gave it to Habib just to replace them. They said they gave it away. The husband and wife were also not given children until their twilight years. So that no one replaces them for the pilgrimage" said Reyhan, as his hands tidied up the boy's hair Yumna waving on his forehead.

"God willing ! who are they Habib?, why are their hearts so good. It's very difficult to get Habib. Even we register for Hajj now, the next ten years are not necessarily we can leave" Tangis Yumna was moved.

"God shows us his greatness, dear !. Look ! without trying we can get it so easily, while what we try to die, until now we have not got it as well. If HE wills, nothing is impossible, nothing is difficult for HIM. Which favor of the Lord do you deny my wife !. Our intention to get married is to worship. Not just for making children. The child is just a daycare for the married" Reyhan replied.

"They were laborers who had worked with Habib for a long time. During this time her husband worked as a building porters, saving the results for their costs of pilgrimage.But it seems that God does not want them to go to pilgrimage, the husband and wife suffered from a severe disease. They only ask to be prayed for health" Reyhan replied again.

"I want to see them Habib!, I want to say thank you !" Yumna.

"Yes, baby ! tomorrow we'll meet them. Now they've moved to the hospital to get treatment. Because the husband and wife had no one to take care of him" Reyhan replied with glassy eyes, sorry to see his old laborer. The worker who taught Reyhan about building, so Reyhan became a successful businessman. But the old man did not want to accept the position of Reyhan, because he did not have a school.

"May they be healed Habib !" yumna reply.

"Yes dear !" Reyhan paused his sentence, cupping both his hands onto Yumna's face." Did not Sayyidina Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, also have no children from the Apostle. What makes you so discouraged, dear ?. If the people before you had experienced many things similar to us. This cohabitation is a form of God's love for us. Test the strength of our faith and our love, to what extent we are able to endure this long service" Reyhan said.

"Asragfirullohal enzyme ! thank you Habib ! it reminds me !" Yumna.

Reyhan reviewed his smile, once again dipping Yumna's forehead fondly.

"God will not give trials beyond the limits of his servant's ability. Habib is sure, Habib's wife is able to pass through. Like the ten years we've been through" Reyhan lowered his body slightly, then lifted Yumna up, carrying her bridal style led her towards the bed.

"How after Habib cleanses himself, do we worship ?" Reyhan placed Yumna very carefully on the bed.

"As far as Habib is concerned, Yumna is always ready !"yumna answered her smile.

"This wife of mine is indeed very greedy for merit" Reyhan further developed his smile, and pulled Yumna's nose.

"If you do not collect as much reward. How can a servant enter Habib's heaven ?" ask back Yumna, take Reyhan's hand off her nose.

As for Yumna, he came down from the top of the bed. To prepare clothes for Reyhan. After that, Yumna tidied up her appearance in front of the dressing table and re-sprayed the fragrance onto her body.

The morning of Alfarizqi's house was rame with the sound of children running down the stairs to the dining room.

"Assalamu aleikum Aunt Yumna !" said the ten-year-old girl simultaneously with her four followers.

"Greetings hallow !" reply Yumna smiled kindly putting a basin of fried rice on the table.

The five brats sat their bodies on the dining table of their grandparents' house.

"Hey boy boy ! why haven't you guys come back to your house yet ?" guaru Reyhan who just came to the dining room. Seeing Syauqi, Arsi, Sabeel his son Eagle, and Nora his daughters Doctor Aldo and Diana, were still staying at home.

"Why ? this is Grandpa's house with our Grandma !" cetus Syauqi's.

"You make my wife tired of taking care of your meals every day !" reyhan replied no less, sitting his body next to his beloved sister Sabina, and immediately kissed the tip of the head of his only sister.

"Habib ! can't talk like that !" yumna who heard it." I asked them to stay here" Yumna said.

"I'm just kidding baby!, their faces look so annoying. And your voice is very noisy every time it's time to eat" said Reyhan, pulling at Yumna's waist standing beside him.

"That bill ! aunt Yumna asked us to stay here again !" shauqi exclaimed with pursed lips.

"You have such a loud voice, it's not wrong your Daddy named you a starling bird !" cibir Reyhan teased his eldest nephew.

"From Uncle ! the old ostrich !" reply Syauqi.

"Everything's been gathering here apparently ?." The retired old man sat his body in the chair he used to sit in. Followed his wife in the chair beside him.

"Good morning Om ! Auntie !" same Nora to Arya's grandfather and Bunga's grandmother.

"Good morning too Nora Fatih !" reply Grandma Flower smiled, and pinched the cheek of Doctor Aldo's daughter.

"Mama ! Papa ! sabin is staying at Nora's house !" sabina put the fried rice in her mouth.

"Yes, baby ! but do not forget to do PR before going to bed later" replied the grandmother of Flowers.

"Hm..!" Sabin nodded his head as his mouth was full of food.

"The Shauqi ! will we still be here ?" sabeel asked his cousin.

"If I'm gonna sleep at night at Aldo's grandfather's house. Uncle Reyhan has objected we're staying here !" said Arsi glanced at Reyhan from the corner of her eye.

Although both of his parents are outside Negri, but Arsi prefers to live in his hometown. He does not like to live outside the country, because there he has no friends, like in Indonesia. And the place was always moving, sometimes at Grandpa Arya's house, sometimes at Doctor Aldo's grandfather's house, sometimes at Shasa's grandmother's house, sometimes at Doctor Ghissam's house, Sometimes in Uncle Orion's house, and the Eagle. He doesn't have a home, but he has plenty of places to stay.

"Kid thug !" reyhan said, smiling at Arsi's style which is exactly like Arsen's father.

"But then you come home from school you come back here first !. This house is quiet knowing that there are no you !" yumna said, pouting like a child.

The five boys were almost that age and looked at each other, then similarly nodded their heads. Hypnotized with the dramatic face of Yumna.

"okay ! come home from school, auntie's gonna pick you up !" Yumna immediately smiled cheerfully, because the child obeyed her request.

Reyhan smiled, one hand raised rubbing Yumna's head from behind.

Grandma Bunga and Grandpa Arya were the same as their breath. Sadness saw their unlucky son-in-law.

"Let's finish your breakfast quickly, let grandfather take you to school !" said Papa Arya who had finished her breakfast.

"Yes the cake !" obey Syauqi, Arsi and Sabeel together.

"Yes Om !" obedient Nora.

"Yes Papa !" obedient Sabina who sat beside Grandpa Arya.
