Retaliation of the Sick Wife
Welcoming Ramadhan
One week later, apparently there is a special moment that will be welcomed and felt by the first time by Bhishma and Kanaya is enjoying the moment of Ramadan as husband and wife. At once, this Ramadan will be the first fasting month of Bhishma and Kanaya and can worship in Ramadan together. Of course, this month of grace is not only a tradition for Muslims, but also a full month of fitness for Bhishma and Kanaya.
“Tomorrow the first day of Ramadan fasting, Mas .. want us to take a short walk?” take Kanaya to her husband.
“Where do you want to go to Darling?” bisma asked his wife.
Kanaya seemed to think, where is the place she wanted to go with her husband. “His readiness to Istiqlal Mosque, Mas ... want?” ask her husband again.
Bisma smiled, “Why do you want to go to Istiqlal?” ask Bisma again. Not meant to ask a lot, but the man was very happy to listen to the stories of his wife.
“Religious travel and later pray together there for a while. Want?” kanaya replied saying her wish.
Bisma then nodded, “Iya .. may. During Ramadan, you work until 15:00 p.m., right? Tomorrow I pick you up and we can take a short walk to Istiqlal and also pray together. Don't forget to bring meukena tomorrow.”
“Siyap .. Mas Doctor. Thank you for nurutin mauku.” said Kanaya while smiling at her husband.

The next day, less than three in the afternoon Bisma was already standing in the Jaya Corp lobby. As the plan that he had prepared and also Kanaya that today, they will be a little religious tourism in Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta. Therefore, after his practice, Bisma immediately rushed to pick up his wife in Jaya Corp.
Just as usual, once out of the elevator, Kanaya smiles seeing her faithful husband waiting for her. The pregnant woman felt so happy whenever she saw her faithful husband waiting for her. Almost every day, Bhishma comes first and waits for Kanaya in the lobby.
“So the streets today Bumilku Beautiful?” bisma asked as soon as his wife was in front of him.
“So dong.” replied Kanaya looks so enthusiastic.
Bhishma immediately linked his fingers and clasped Kanaya's hand, “Yuk, mumpung already afternoon. Yes, even though the sun is still hot, but nothing huh?” ask the Bisma to Kanaya.
Kanaya quickly nodded, “Iya, same origin as you, the heat is scorching I do not mind kok.” he replied as he laughed following her husband's footsteps towards their car parked in front of Jaya Corp.
It takes approximately 20 minutes to reach Istiqlal Mosque. The mosque, which is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, stands majestically. In addition, the location of Istiqlal adjacent to the Cathedral Church actually makes this building a symbol of inter-religious harmony in this country. Kanaya started wearing a veil that only covered her hair, then she took a walk with Bhishma entering the Istiqlal Mosque area.
“You miss the streets in Hagia Sophia when we went to Turkey first huh Darling?” ask Bhishma as they walk together.
“Iya .. kangen, Mas. No need to get to Turkey. Here there is also a mosque that has historical value and also a very beautiful splendor. I want to pray here and you imami.” he said by showing a red tinge on his face.
Kanaya quickly nodded, “Iya mau .. yuk, wudhu, Mas .. mumpung deserted and not yet the prayer schedule we can pray together briefly.” he said.
Then the two took ablution, then Bisma imitated his wife in a prayer that was only done by the two in the vast mosque. The vastness of the mosque and they just both made both of them just like dust. And so it is with man, that there is only dust before God.
After praying together, Kanaya kissed the back of her husband's hand. Even the pregnant woman seemed to shed her tears. “Thank you, Mas.” she said by lowering her face and kissing the back of her husband's hand.
Bisma then gently rubbed the top of his wife's head, caressing her affectionately. “Sama-sama My wife.” replied Bhishma with her voice so soft.
After that, both of them walked out of the mosque area and then took a walk outside the Istiqlal mosque. “Do you want to join the fast tomorrow Dear?” bisma asked his wife.
"If I want to follow the fast can't Mas?" kanaya asked her husband.
"Actually in medical terms, there is no prohibition for pregnant women to fast. It's just that if things happen such as dehydration, sudden nosebleeds due to hormonal changes during pregnancy that make blood vessels in the nose dilate, fetal movement decreases, and so on, and pregnancy with a high risk then it is better to cancel fasting. How about yourself?" ask the priest again to Kanaya.
It was not that Kanaya would follow her will, but that Bhishma wanted that Kanaya could decide for herself. The choice of a mother is certainly the best, they not only decide for themselves, but also for the fetus they are carrying.
"Euhm, I fast as hard as I can not Mas? If I am prevented from fasting." replied Kanaya who was involved with full consideration.
Bisma then looked at his wife's face, "Not fasting used to be okay, dear. Your pregnancy has entered Trimester Three. Yes this, I think. Because you need complete and balanced nutrition for you and our baby. Follow me open. If sahur, I'm all alone." this time Bhishma tried to express her opinion.
There is doubt in Kanaya, in her heart this is her first Ramadan month with her husband. Kanaya wants to enjoy the beauty of Ramadan with her husband. But what her husband said was very true. So that Kanaya will obey what is the advice of her husband.
"Yes already, I canceled the fast first Ramadan this time, but next year we run the fast together ya Mas" she said with a smile to her husband.
She nodded, "Yes ... next year and in the years to come we will always welcome and observe Ramadan together."
Kanaya looks pursed her lips, “Padahat actually I want to accompany you fasting this time. It's the first Ramadan month for both of us.” he said. Somehow, there is a sense that seems to be stuck in the heart because it feels unable to participate in the fast of Ramadan with her husband.
“There's still plenty of time for both of us, dear .. After all it's only 2 months left we'll already meet our baby. Although this year you break the fast, but this Ramadan will still be a month of grace and also full of love for both of us.” said Bisma so gently, it was as if every speech he spoke was soothing to Kanaya's heart.
Finally Kanaya nodded, “Iya Mas .. alright. I will continue to celebrate the month of Ramadan with gratitude for having you in my life. All the blessings given by God really make me flattered.” she said as she looked at her husband's face.
