I Was the Second
Twenty Two

Alfina awoke to hear the sound of meandering the Ashar Adhan. Her eyes were still puffy after crying, how not sad, after a week of letting her husband with his new wife, when his turn arrived the honey even fell ill. But Alfina was not only disappointed by Rayhan's absence, but also felt sad for her mad sister in a state of pain.

He tried to position himself as Zia, in a state of pain would require the assistance of the husband at his side.

"Qodarullah wa maa shaa a fa'ala (God has predestined him, and what He wills He to do)" said Alfina. He immediately rose to wash his face and take ablution, prepared to invite his children to pray Ashar, and after the prayer later he had promised the children to accompany them to swim.

While at papa Rendra's residence...

Zia woke up, surprised to see Rayhan sleeping beside her. His body felt much better, he saw the liquid inside the infusion bottle was almost gone. Inevitably, even if he did not want to, he still had to wake Rayhan.

She gently stroked Rayhan's hair and cheeks, then gently called her husband.

"Mas, Mas Ray ...Mas.." call Zia.

"Hmm Zi, you're awake, how? Where's that sick?" Rayhan immediately got up to sit down.

"Thank God it is much better" replied Zia.

"So you need something?" ask Rayhan.

"That's," Zia pointed towards the infusion bottle hanging on a nail that stuck a flower painting on the wall near their bed.

"Oh, you want to run out?"

"Yes, stay a little" said Zia, nodding.

"Awhile, I asked papa, I wanted to add more or this was enough," Rayhan stood up and walked out of his room.

A moment later he came with Papa Rendra.

"Where is Zia, still feeling dizzy?" ask papa Rendra.

"No pa, Alhamdulillah has been much better, released aja pa pa pa pa," said Zia.

"Okay papa last, but you guys stay here first tonight, all your observations, papa will prescribe vitamins for you, let Rayhan buy them," papa Rendra finally agreed to remove the infusion needle that stuck on the back of Zia's hand.

After papa Rendra left the room, Zia got out of bed as well.

"Where are you going Zi?" ask Rayhan.

"Mau pee" said Zia.

"I deliver" Rayhan immediately rose from the quarrel and ransacked Zia to the bathroom.

"I can be alone Mas, I don't pa pa pa," said Zia, but ignored by Rayhan, he still walked beside Zia. Once in the bathroom, Zia sat on the toilet. And Rayhan was standing not far from there.

"Kok is still here, wait outside gih," pinta Zia.

"No, I'm afraid you've passed out like that, I'm just waiting here, it's a flick," said Rayhan still not going.

Rayhan flashed again in his mind, if he saw Zia with such a position, there was him who was sick withholding the pain, holding back again because Zia could not serve him yet.

"Yes, I'm waiting outside, but don't lock the door" Rayhan said in the end.

Zia finished her wish in the bathroom and immediately came out so that Rayhan would not worry.

"Mas, what time are we home?" ask Zia.

"You didn't hear what papa said? We'll do it first while you're watching" replied Rayhan.

"I'm not pa pa Mas, it's healthy anyway tonight it's time for Ray to go home Mba Al right,"

"I told Al that you can't go home now, because you're sick,"

"Mba Al must be sad Mas, mba Al must miss Mas Ray very much," said Zia.

"If I go there now, indeed I can calm down, there is fun, which must be your mind, your condition has not recovered properly," said Rayhan.

Zia was just speechless, not wanting to argue with her husband anymore, all she could do was obey Rayhan's words.

The night was long and cold for Alfina, it was almost midnight yet she could not close her eyes.

Sadness, longing, anger, disappointment, jealousy, baebaur became one, making his chest increasingly tight. Remorse why she was willing to share her husband's love.

"Astaghfirullah." he said.

He recalled how the hardships of life experienced by Zia, as well as the orphaned little boy Maryam.

Alfina then rose to the bathroom to take ablution and establish night prayers. After the prayer, he poured out everything in his heart to his Lord.

"O Allah Yes Rahman... Everything that happens on this earth, and that happens to me, does not escape the destiny that You have written, so O God, strengthen my heart to sincerely live it, give us peace and happiness. Also make it easy for us to have this marriage" said Alfina.

Somewhere else...

Zia and Rayhan also established night prayers. The two also prayed and asked for harmony and harmony in their families.

After praying, because she was still sleepy, Zia gave permission to sleep for a while.

"Mas, I'm going to sleep a little while longer, will I go to bed too?" ask Zia.

"No Zi, I want to read the Quran first while waiting for dawn" said Rayhan.

"Yes, please wake me up at dawn" Pinta Zia said.

Rayhan smiled and nodded. Then open the Quran and read it. Her voice was sweet to Allah, so Zia smiled in her sleep.
