My Imam, Surgaku
(42). Birthday, Azalea (1st).
After seeing the car that Husain was driving disappeared from behind the fence of their house, Azalea stepped back into the house. Not to forget, Azalea locked the fence and also the front door so that no one can enter the house when he was alone.
All the housework has been done since Azalea finished the morning prayer, so now he can see the drama or disney cartoon while waiting for Husain to come home later in the afternoon.
When she got to her room, Azalea accidentally saw a letter and a box covered in ribbon on her dresser. With curiosity Azalea took the letter at the top and read it carefully.
-----
For the last love of an aging brother.
Happy birthday, dear Abang. Today is one of your special days that you will make even more special. Wait, baby:).
In this letter, you will not write many words. Because you have prepared 3 letters that have been prepared in advance for your first gift on your birthday today.
Oh yes, you also have a beautiful dress and pashmina for you to wear on your birthday now. Later at 4 pm Brother will invite you for a romantic dinner. I love you, baby. Once again happy birthday to his mother Dedek:)
-----
Azalea's eyes immediately glazed over after she finished reading the contents of the letter that Husain had written for her. He felt moved because Husain remembered his birthday when he himself did not remember that today was his birthday.
Because in the letter Husayn said that her husband had prepared 3 other letters for her, Azalea opened one by three neatly arranged letters under the letter she had just read earlier.
-----
The first letter :
Honey, according to the book you've read he said that I love you has a lot of meaning in it. You wanna know? Here's what he said, though,
Sometimes
I love you means I want to love you.
Sometimes
I love you means I'll stay a little while longer.
Sometimes
I love you means I'm not sure how to leave.
Last, sometimes
I love you means I have nowhere else to go.
And for Brother, the word I love you that you always say to you has the intention of 'i want to love you'. Brother wants to love you until you are united with the land and come back to live with you in God's paradise. So if you say I love you are the same as you, you already know what it means? So, I want to say it's the same now you. I love u moreeee and moreee, my little wife.
-----
Azalea could no longer bear the smile and pounding in her heart after reading one letter Husain had written for her. Though there are 2 more letters that Azalea has not read. Before reading the second letter, Azalea folded the first letter she had read. Azalea will keep it well so that later her son can read the contents of this letter later.
-----
Second letter :
Honey, you should know that you are always grateful to be a companion to your life and accompany you through your days. And you should also know that your happiness is mine too, love.
Thank you for being present in your life. You managed to play any role to complete the shortcomings of Brother. Stay a good woman and sholehah with your own version yes, dear, because Brother loves you with your version.
Honey, the universe is still a witness, your name is always stored in every prayer that you say every day.
He loves you, always and forever.
-----
The second letter returned Azalea folded neatly after reading it. So far, every word that Husain wrote in his letter has failed to make the stomach of Azalea filled with thousands of butterflies flying.
Now Azalea opened the last letter for her to read.
-----
Honey, in this third letter you just want to write a lot of thanks to you. You should read it carefully, baby:).
Thank you for always feeling enough just by presence, brother.
Thank you for the ears and arms that are always there in every tired and tired brother.
Thank you for being a talkative, a discussion friend, a confiding friend, and a sharing friend.
Thank you for your great and broad patience in dealing with a brother who sometimes likes to bother and bother you every day.
Thanks to you who want to fight with your brother to be better even though sometimes there are differences between us that often make us upset and angry but still believe that we can unite the differences that's.
And finally, thank you for attending and choosing to stay with Brother, unfortunately Brother. You should know that you are meaningful and valuable to you.
-----
Azalea wiped the edge of her eyes that shed tears after reading the letter of gratitude that Husain wrote for her. There was a sense of happiness that Azalea could not express with words.
In addition Azalea also did not forget to thank him for what he got to this day. God always knows what is best for his people. Azalea asked only good men for her, but God gave her the best in everything.
...-Husain and Azalea-...
As promised, Husayn came to pick up Azalea at their home at exactly 4 p.m.
"MasyaAllah, beautiful little angel Abang," praised Husain when he saw Azalea coming out of the room wearing a satin silk ivory dress with matching pashmina he bought for Azalea.
Husayn walked a few steps toward Azalea who was standing in front of the door shyly. Even Husayn could see a red tinge adorning both cheeks of the Azalea kingpin.
"Before a minute, baby, you want your pashmina to look perfect. If you don't need to be in fact because it's perfect from the start." Praise Husain is endless.
"Don't praise Aza mulu dong. It's not good for the heart," whined spoiled Azalea.
"Can't, baby. You can't if you don't praise me. Especially today you look much more beautiful and pangling,"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Husain reached into his pocket to take the third prize which he had prepared in advance.
"Third gift to you." Husayn said as he opened the small box in his hand.
After the small box in Husain's hand opened, Azalea's eyes then glared funny. He was shocked to see the contents of the small box that Husain had thrust on him.
"Ring?" Azalea answered a nod by Husain.
"It seems that among these 3 rings, the middle one looks the best match with the dress you wear today." Husayn took the ring he meant and put it on the ring finger of Azalea's left hand because the ring finger of Azalea's right hand already contained the wedding ring of both of them. After his ring was perfectly fixed on Azalea's ring finger, Husain immediately pulled it closer towards his lips to be gently sniffed.
"Thank you, brother," said Azalea with teary eyes full of days.
"Together, darling. His ring was kept. Brother deliberately bought three so you can change the ring if you are bored." Husain answered while thrusting the ring box that still contains 2 rings.
"This must be expensive. Next time buy one, let me save." Azalea said after storing Husain's ring in a safe place.
"Abang is willing to spend a lot of money to buy whatever you like. So don't be sad or bad, baby." Husayn said while stroking the cheeks of Azalea's gembill.
"Yes, Brother,"
"Okay, now we go directly to the romantic dinner that you have prepared. Let's go, my queen." Husain said while making a king-style movement.
With pleasure, Azalea welcomed Husain's hand. "Let's go, my king," welcome Azalea.
