I'm Not an Old Virgin
THE EXTRA PART II
Returning home from the office Ali immediately entered into his room with hasty steps. At home he did not see Safira when usually Safira would welcome his return every time he came home from the office.
Not only was Ali worried too astonished at not seeing anyone in the house. Even the children who usually scream loudly every time he comes home from work are not in the living room or in the family room.
"Assalamualaikum, dear?" Ali opened their room door.
Inside Sapphira looked surprised to see his return. Her beautiful face that was starting to be a little kingly formed a very beautiful smile and instantly dispelled her panic.
Whether it was just his feelings or not, tonight Safira seemed to use a thin makeup and a closed shirt that pleases the eye.
"Mosur." With light steps, Safira slowly approached Ali.
Stretching her arms to embrace the husband she had missed all day. Ah, if he could he would like to run to the company to buy Ali until his misses are treated. However, she did not do so because she knew her husband must be very busy working.
"Mas Ali's home." The whisper of Safira was very excited.
So excited he did not hesitate to throw himself into Ali's arms. Making Ali unprepared took a few steps back getting an impromptu hug from his wife.
"His embrace was postponed first well, because my current body stinks of sweat." Ali wanted to release Sapphira from his embrace. But Sapphira refused to let go.
Instead of letting go he even more tightened his embrace on Ali. Inhaling the fragrance of Ali which is still fragrant and does not smell at all. Honestly, he likes to breathe Ali's fragrance every time he comes home from work. For some reason she would wait for Ali at the door because she was impatient but especially for tonight, she missed her habit for her husband's important day.
"Mas Ali," whispered Sapphira from inside her husband's arms.
"Hem?" Ali's response was gentle as she pulled Safira into her arms even tighter.
Safira is very fragrant tonight. Red roses are as fragrant as they were on their first night. Is this just his feeling?
Because not meeting his wife all day makes Ali miss him very much. He spent the whole day in the office trying to work fast so that he could finish his work immediately and go home to his children and wife.
"Happy birthday." Whisper Sapphira with a very soft voice.
Now Ali understands why tonight his wife is so many times dazzling. In fact, tonight his wife looks like a beautiful and graceful woman who sat quietly waiting for him on the first night 5 years ago.
Ah, it does not feel that their marriage has been running for 5 years and has been blessed with 4 very extraordinary children always calm his heart.
"Thank you, wife. I even forgot today was my birthday." Ali doesn't remember it at all.
Maybe because now he already had children and a wife, plus both parents are still complete might make him not think of things that are meaningless.
Same as a birthday. This is only one year old, right, it is the same as taking one step closer to the deadline of living in this stopover world.
Safira smiled sweetly. Tonight she was so spoiled and sweet.
"I have a gift for Mas Ali" he said, letting go of their arms.
"But before that we have to enjoy tonight like a couple on a date. Is Mas Ali ready?" He asked with an adorable expression.
Ali laughed a little. His hands were very itchy touching the cheeks of the Safira padlocks. But he remembered still not taking a bath so this desire he had to endure first.
"I'm certainly willing to but my body smells sweaty and dirty right now so I have to take a shower first in order to enjoy this wonderful night with you." Said Ali preparing to release Safira's hand but was not allowed by Safira.
"No, I can't, Mom. Safira prefers Mas Ali like this, after all.. Safira does not want to wait so it is better Mas Ali follow Safira's will.ya? It's Mas Ali's birthday so want to follow Safira's request?" Pinta Safira while struggling spoiled on Ali's arm.
Seeing this Ali could only sigh deeply. She kissed Sapphira's lips briefly as she could not help feeling anxious.
"Alright, but let me wash my hands and feet before eating." He's negotiating.
Safira did not protest this time. He pulls Ali into the bathroom and waits patiently outside.
Ali didn't know whether to laugh or cry at how active Safira was tonight. But this is also the best gift for his birthday because usually Safira is a shy woman in their relationship even though their marriage age is 5 years.
The woman of heaven has not changed at all.
"Mas Ali don't take a shower!" Call Safira from the outside worried Ali's taking a shower.
Because he prefers Ali with the smell of sweat than the already clean smell of bath soap.
Ali chuckled inside. She opened the bathroom door so that Sapphira could see for herself that she was only washing her feet, hands, and face.
"Come, Mas." Safira pulls Ali's hand out.
He took Ali to their balcony. There is already a table complete with food and red candle light that looks very romantic.
"For tonight did everyone accidentally disappear from the house?" Tanya Ali is funny.
Sapphira didn't cover it,"Yes, Mas. They said they wanted to let us enjoy this beautiful night hehe.." He said as he pressed Ali's shoulder to sit on a chair.
"I should have done this to you." Ali is helpless.
Everywhere the men will provide a chair for their women. But tonight it was Safira who did that for him.
"No problem, Mom. It's Mas Ali's birthday anyway so tonight belongs entirely to Mas Ali!" He said he wouldn't turn around.
Ali laughed a little. He was really amused by his wife's behavior tonight. Sweet and pampered, also very active.
After that Safira served Ali wholeheartedly. She prepared food and water for her husband. Following the Prophet when they were eating, they did not talk at all even though they both treated this night like a date for lovers in general.
Although not speaking, the atmosphere between them was very sweet. Their two hands were intertwined and often they looked at each other, sharing a very gentle warm gaze.
After a long time Ali ended up spending the whole night without being bothered by their children. Usually, every time they are mixing the twins will definitely break into the room disturbing their sweet show.
So, when they were actually left alone instead of being relieved they instead missed the sound of the children.
"I have a gift for Mas Ali. I hope Mas Ali likes this gift." He said while taking out a red square box complete with blue ribbon on the table.
Ali without wasting a long time immediately accepted it. It's lightweight and from the box shape Ali guessed maybe this electronic object or something they could remember for good.
"What's this?" Ali asked as he pulled the blue ribbon.
Sapphira smiled gently, her two eyes began to turn red forming thin ripples.
"Mas Ali will know after opening it." He answered while squeezing both his hands holding back nervously.
His heart was racing, and he subconsciously held his breath several times waiting for Ali's reaction.
Then slowly he pulled the red square box. Inside the box was a typical white hospital envelope and 3 different brands of tests.
"Allah akbar.." Ali's heart was beating very fast. Even his two hands are now starting to shake touching 3 test bars with the results of 2 very striking lines.
"Oh God.." He then looked at Sapphira with a surprised and joyful expression.
"Oh my God, my wife is pregnant..O God, you have again entrusted us with a trust!" Said happy.
He put the 3 tests carefully and switched to opening the hospital's white envelope. There it is clearly written that Sapphira Sauqi is pregnant with a gestational age of 2 months.
It's been 2 months!
"Safira. baby, thanks!" Ali got up from his seat in a hurry. Hugged his wife tightly but tried not to make Safira's stomach pinched.
"Thank you, my wife, thank you God, this is the most beautiful gift I've ever received on my birthday." There was no warm liquid coming out of the corner of his eye.
Ali was so happy. He could say nothing but his gratitude to God and his wife.
In this marriage she has given everything to God. If Allah wills them to have offspring, then it will happen, but if Allah wills not, then it will not happen. All of Ali gave to Allah.
It is unexpected that at the beginning of their marriage they have been blessed with twins and Ai. Then 4 years after the birth of the twins my wife again entrusted a trust.
Really, their hearts were overwhelmed with a very happy feeling tonight. They always say they want to have many offspring to make the Prophet proud because his people are increasing in number. They thought it was just a dream but it was unexpected that God would grant their prayers.
"God loves us so much, Mom. God loves us so much!" Safira's whispers began to sob in Ali's arms.
Ali repeatedly nodded his head. Smacking Sapphira's forehead and head peak with immeasurable gratitude.
"Alhamdulillah O Allah.. Thank God, we will take care of it with great care. We will raise and educate him with your religion. We will be together to climb the Ridho Mu, make them fall in love and only Love for You. O Allah.riddhoi it is we O Allah. It was Ridhoi that we stepped on the path of Mu. Please protect us, O God, do not let us let our guard down and fall lost. We will take care of it with all our might, so please guide us O Allah and protect us O Allah in stepping on Your path."
In her arms Sapphira continued to weep, assuring every prayer her husband offered sincerely and hopefully. This gift he promised to take care of him earnestly, together to seek the pleasure of God in the future.
Oh my God, how happy they are tonight.
They are the ones who are met because of their love for Allah SWT. Their steadfastness and conviction of heart made God unite them through the prayers that were set up in the third of the night. For when Allah has fallen in love with His servant, believe me, he will not let the servant be disappointed. Allah will meet those servants with those who love Allah, so that their lives will always be in His protection and pleasure until the day when all men are put into heaven.

7 Years Later
Today Ai officially entered the boarding school where Dad used to be. Honestly, she was scared because this was her first experience away from the family and had to be stuck with many unknown strangers.
"Aishi Humaira?" There was a call for him from inside.
Ai was surprised, in a panic she carried her backpack inside along with the documents to enter.
"Please sit down." Said the woman in glasses.
"Thank you, Mom." Say ai politely.
The glasses lady smiled kindly."Just call me Ustazah Nur. Living in a boarding house may be a little difficult but rest assured in the future you can feel the sweetness of living here. Well Aishi, from today you should get used to calling your older person or teacher Ustadzah or Ustad." He then took the documents in Ai and recorded them in a thick book.
Ai nodded quickly, honestly she did not think too much about it because Father and Mother had already taught her at home how to live in a boarding school.
"Alright, you are now officially registered at the boarding school. Aishi Humaira, welcome to Abu Hurairah boarding school. I hope you can adapt quickly and learn comfortably." Say friendly while returning Ai entry documents.
Ai took it politely as well while returning Ustadzah Nur's smile kindly.
"Thank you, Ustazah."
"Yes, now take this document to Ustad Vano." He said pointing to his back straight and straight at the end of the hallway.
"After giving him the document Ustad Vano will give you a santri card of our boarding school. So after getting the card please keep it well and not to be eliminated." He said give orders.
Ai once again nodded her head in understanding. After saying thanks to Ustadzah Nur, he then carried his backpack walking towards Ustad Vano which was filled with queues from new students just like him.
"Vano.." Hearing this name made him remember the figure of a boy who had promised to meet and accompany him to play. However, it had been 12 years but Vano had never come looking for him.
Huh..
Ai did not know why she was this stupid to expect a man who might have long forgotten her.
"Aishi Humaira?"
Deg
These sounds?
"Aishi Humaira, please give me your documents." This voice although it had sounded heavy and hoarse but was still vaguely remembered by Ai.
Slowly he lifted his head staring directly at the people
"Sir Vano?"
...END...
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi. This is the last chapter of the novel. Thank you to all readers for accompanying this novel to the end. Honestly, my journey to writing this novel was through joy and sorrow. But Thank God, I was met with a good reader so my passion for writing this novel never backed down.
Again I say thank you.
Then for the next novel I decided to write about Kayana but the time of her publication I took 1 week because well, I needed time to relax for a moment hehehe..
All right, this is all I'm saying. Sorry if I have ever hurt or offended you in writing this novel, or in the writing of this novel there is a wrong word or source of knowledge that is not clear (If found please do not hesitate to remind me), really I am a human being who is imperfect and filled with shortcomings.
So, I once again apologize for all the loss I have ever done.
Alright, see you again in the next work 💚
Warm regards, Author.
