Bilal invited Asma to shop after Bilal finished Friday prayers.
"What are we going to do for shopping?"ask Asma while putting on her seat belt
before Bilal finally drove his car.
"Whatever you want to buy for our house" Bilal replied
"I'm not good at choosing home furniture. Oh yes I want flowers to be planted in the garden" exclaimed Asma looking enthusiastic.
"Yes, we'll find ya, how about we find the sheets first? That's the most important thing, right? So that his room can immediately occupy"
"Okey" replied Asma excitedly.
"And also kitchen furniture, I really do not buy kitchen furniture, I do not know which one to buy" said Bilal. Actually, the goods in his home he had ordered for a long time, such as mattresses, sofas, tables and also cabinets, but some he accidentally did not order it because he wanted to shop alone with Asthma
"If my kitchen furniture also does not know" replied Asma while giggling.
"Yes, later we buy it with Mbak Dini aja"
"Yupz, good idea" Asthma said.
Bilal and Asma chose to shop for bed linens first, because that's the most important thing.
Upon arriving at the store, the waiter greeted them kindly and began to show them the nicest sheets they had.
"This how?" ask Bilal shows white sheets that also look very good and must be comfortable in use.
"I don't like white sheets, dirty quickly" cried Asma, and immediately Bilal remembered on the night of his wedding with Asma, the girl grumbled because her room was in pairs of white sheets. Bilal could not help but smile in light of that time.
"Why smile smile?" ask Asma while glancing at Bilal and then he chose a few pairs of bed sheets and bad covers that he felt comfortable in wearing.
"What's up" Bilal replied trying to hold back his smile "Why do you choose all the innocents?" ask her who saw Asma did choose a plain bed sheet.
"I'm dizzy if there are too many motives" replied Asma who made Bilal nod in understanding.
Then the two continued to choose and Bilal yes to the choice of Asthma, because he had never concerned about the motif or color of the sheets, for him the important thing is comfortable in use.
After successfully choosing several pairs of sheets and also bad cover, now they want to go looking for flowers that Asthma wants.
Until they arrive at a flower shop that sells ornamental flowers, native flowers and also flowers that can be planted.
When Asma was busy looking at the contents of the store and looking for beautiful flowers, Bilal arrives to get a call and Bilal says he will be out for a while to answer his phone while Asma is told to choose whatever he wants. Asthma chose to buy several types of flowers, but the most he bought white roses for him to plant in his garden. Asthma also chooses some ornamental flowers for her to put in the living room and in the family room.
When engrossed in seeing ornamental flowers, Asthma feels like someone is watching her, Asma looked up and her gaze met the gaze of a man standing among the flowers in the corner of the room. Asthma turned to the right and to the left thinking maybe the man wasn't looking at her. But when looking around, Asma was sure the man who looked like a student was indeed staring at him.
Then, the man waved his hand, and he picked up a white rose, the man smiled at Asma and started to step up to Asthma. But Asma raised her hand and gestured to stop, and the man stopped his steps and still looked at Asthma and smiled sweetly.
Then Asma pointed at Bilal who was near the exit, the man followed where Asthma was pointing, and when the man looked back at Asma, Asma raised her left hand and showed a circular wedding ring on her ring finger.Amma immediately saw the man dumbfounded and looked at Asma as if in disbelief, Asthma only smiled a faint smile at the man's reaction. To reassure the man, Asma held his stomach and rubbed him, then she made a gesture as if carrying a baby, gesturing that she was pregnant and would have a child from her husband.
The man looked limp for a moment, and the rose he held fell to the floor. Once again Asma only smiled faintly with the reaction of the man who seemed to be heartbroken.
Then a woman and a man who seemed to be a student came to the man and they came out of the flower shop.
Asthma also continued to see other flowers.
While outside, the man's friend asked
"What's up, Bro? Kkok bengong that?"
"There's a pretty girl inside, I doubt she's even human, what an angel, what a beauty" her girlfriend peeked at Asma.
"Who wore the yellow hijab?" he asked, and his friend nodded.
"Yes acquaintance dong, he looks like he's still in High School"
"Have a husband, get pregnant, and have children" said the heartbroken man and he immediately moved away with his chaotic feelings, while the two friends just put their shoulders and did not understand what he meant.
"It's over?" bilal asked after he had called.
"That's all I want to buy"
"Astaghfirullah, a lot of it, dear" cried Bilal made Asma smile amusedly.
"The park is still kasong"
"Yes too" replied Bilal. Then he also paid for all Asthma groceries, and incidentally, the store also provided services to deliver and directly plant it, he said, he breathed a sigh of relief because he did not have to find anyone else to plant the flower.
After everything is done, Asma and Bilal hurry home what else is the afternoon and soon will enter Maghrib time .

After what Asma said that night, Khadija felt guilty, feeling that she had hurt Asma. Though the girl was not wrong, Khadija wore her hijab and she went to see Asma in her room, she wanted to apologize, and she wanted their relationship to be as warm as it used to be. What's more, all this time he and Astma never had any problems directly.
As he was about to knock on the door, Bilal suddenly came out of Asthma's room.
"What's up, Khadijah? Are you sick again?" ask Bilal to worry.
"Engga, Mother. I'm fine, I just want to see Asthma"
"Oh..." Bilal turned his head and looked at his wife who was asleep in the middle of the bed "Zahra is asleep" he continued.
"Tumben, it's only 9 o'clock" exclaimed Khadijah.
"Maybe he's tired, at the end of this he's easily tired as he is"
"Is he sick?" ask Khadijah
"That's right, he's good"
"Thank God, yeah. Let me talk to him tomorrow"
"Yes, you should also go to sleep, don't forget to take his medicine"
Bilal also returned to Asthma's room, Bilal stared fixedly at Asma's face and he kissed his sleeping wife's forehead, Bilal enveloped Asma's body and he was lying next to her in a sideways position so that he could hug his wife's tiny body.
Bilal remembered what the woman was doing at the flower shop earlier, Bilal who accidentally saw Asma who used sign language, Bilal was curious about who he was talking to, and when he followed the direction of Asthma's view, Bilal was a little angry because Asthma communicated with other men what more Asthma seemed to sing the smile, but when he understood what Asthma requires, he said, Bilal smiled widely and was proud of his wife who could take care of himself, not only that, he also did not let others hope in him.
And the student remembered Bilal's will on himself who was also stunned by the beauty of Asthma when he first saw her, of course Bilal understood what the man expected.
.

Asthma who just came out of the bathroom, saw her husband was neat and ready to go to work.
And suddenly, Asthma sniffed something that seemed to disturb her sense of smell.
"Bilal, did you change perfume?" ask Asma when she was near Bilal and the aroma that was very disturbing it was derived from her husband.
"Well, why, honey?" ask Bilal
"Ih, the smell is strange" said Asma while covering her mouth and nose "Expired time tuh" he continued.
"Congratulations, Zahra. Just buy, look tuh" Bilal shows his perfume and there are still many.
"But the smell is not good, change gih" pinta Asma that makes Bilal astonished.
"But this is my usual perfume, honey. What the hell are you?" ask Bilal in surprise.
"Just change clothes, throw away the perfume, your taste is very bad" said Asma while taking a new shirt for Bilal. And of course Bilal is more astonished because Asthma does not usually comment on her perfume, precisely the girl once said she likes the scent of Bilal.
Because he did not want to argue, Bilal also changed his clothes and he wanted to use another perfume but Asthma immediately prevented it.
"What else? It's really fragrant, really fragrant, really, try to smell!" Bilal brought his perfume closer to Asthma and Asthma instead directly covered his nose and mouth, and even that made him instantly feel nauseous.
"Zahra's? Why, Honey?" bilal exclaimed that his wife's face was red as if she was going to vomit.
"It also has a good smell" said Asma and kept the perfume away "That's why you need to wear perfume" he said as he put all Bilal's perfume into the drawer and closed it tightly, makes Bilal increasingly inexhaustible think what's wrong with his wife.
"You sick?" ask Bilal. Asma only shook her head and what made Bilal even more astonished, Amsa helped Bilal put on his shirt. Bilal is confused should he be happy with his serving Asthma or should he be worried because it was never done before him. After finishing putting the buttons of her husband's shirt, Astma suddenly returned to sniff Bilal's body making Bilal more confused and no longer know what to say.
"Hmm, this is just a scent, the scent of your real body" exclaimed Asma after sniffing Bilal's body.
Bilal immediately put his palm on Asthma's forehead, afraid that his wife was sick, but her body temperature was normal.
"Darling, what was your dream last night?" asked Bilal who was really curious what was with his wife.
"What dreams, so tired I was dreaming that I was unable to do it again" answered him which made Bilal laugh.
"Yes, to his school later I will take you, so you are not tired again" said Bilal.
"Think, like the end of this you are also very busy" said Asma.
"I found a driver for you" said Bilal who immediately made Asma laugh.
"It's only 5 minutes from here and you want me to use a driver? Mending money save for our children later" said Asma who somehow said the word 'child' just slid from his lips. Bilal who heard Asma started talking about the child also seemed happy, but he knew Asma still did not want it so Bilal did not let his heart expect much at this time.
"Yes, that's right too. Yes, I went down first yes" said Bilal was about to kiss Asma but very surprising Bilal once again, Asma arrived on tiptoes and first kissed the corner of Bilal's lips.
And instead of happy, it actually makes Bilal more worried about the change of his wife.
"He said he would go down first" exclaimed Asma who saw Bilal still pecking at his place.
"Oh. yes." muttered Bilal and he immediately went down with a dull face.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Khadijah who is already at the dining table.
"What the hell" replied Bilal and shortly afterwards Asma also came down and he was ready to go to school. But when he saw the food at the dinner table, Asthma grimaced and he again felt nauseous.
"I had breakfast at school" said Asma who was not tasteful with Bi Mina's cuisine.
"Loh, why? This Bi Mina has made breakfast for us" continued Khadijah. And Asma still shows her dislike expression with the food.
"I have appetite, nausea" cried Asthma.
"Yes precisely because of that nausea, Zahra. You have to keep eating, the magh relapses later" said Bilal but Asma still did not want to eat.
"I went away, Assalamualaikum" Asma then kissed her husband's hand and left immediately after Bilal kissed his beloved wife's tender cheek.
Bi Mina who came to bring water also looked surprised by Asthma, her usual Asthma always liked her cooking.
"Neng Asma why, sir?" bi Mina asked as she poured water into Bilal and Khadijah's glass.
"His words were nauseous, Bi. So no appetite"
"Maybe catch a cold" Khadijah sidelines.
"It could be, at the end of this he does look weak and easily tired he said. He was also strange, my perfume was said to smell even it makes him nauseous, I was banned from wearing any perfume" said Bilal who still did not think with the attitude of his wife.
"Maybe Neng Asma is pregnant, sir" Bi Mina said as she heard Bilal's words.
Khadijah and Bilal looked surprised by what Bi Mina said. While Bilal hoped it was true, but considering that his wife did not want a child, Bilal quickly disposed of the hope.
"That's possible, Bi. Maybe Zahra catch a cold, what else is the end of this late he often sleeps at night to memorize his lessons, in addition to yesterday we went shopping all day, yes maybe he was tired" said Bilal.
Khadijah actually also has the same thoughts as Bi Mina, in view of its symptoms, Asthma is similar to pregnant people.
Had it been true, Khadijah should have been pleased, because it was what he wanted long ago even before Bilal met Asma, Khadijah wanted Bilal to have offspring.
But thinking about Asthma getting pregnant while she is not, why does her heart feel dislike?
