"Darling, wakeup. It was dawn" Faraz patted Afsana who was still asleep, but his wife looked she was still too drowned in a dream to ignore Faraz who had several times patted her cheek and woke her up.
"Afsana, let's get up, honey" Faraz called out to her in a louder voice and it made Afsana painstakingly open her eyes. Seeing Faraz beside her, Afsana opened her eyes wide and she immediately held the blanket that covered her body. Faraz laughed amusedly at Afsana's reaction when he became aware of her condition and situation.
"Sister Faraz..."
"Yes, Honey?" Faraz said very gently as he tidied Afsana's messy hair and disturbed her face, Afsana blushed with Faraz's affectionate treatment.
"I'm sorry, Ana's bad luck?" ask him later. Faraz.
"That's right, take a shower. Brother has prepared warm water" Afsana nodded but he still did not budge from his original place.
"You want to help?" faraz asked but quickly Afsan shook his head. Faraz again chuckles to see Afsana who is still embarrassed. Faraz again held Afsana who was still wrapped in a blanket, Faraz took her to the bathroom.
"Sister wait outside, if you need anything, call brother yes" Afsana nodded again and she immediately locked the door after Faraz came out of the bathroom.

Maria went shopping to a mini market to buy her necessities.
Maria took a box of pregnant milk and she saw that the price for her was not cheap, but Mary still bought it because she wanted her child to grow up healthy.
And just as he was about to pay at the cashier, a man suddenly put three boxes of the same pregnant milk in the cashier.
"I'm sorry, can you stand in line for a second?" mary asked and she looked at the man. Maria frowned, looking at the man who was familiar to her.
"That's yours" said the man in his heavy voice, making Maria wonder what he meant.
"No, I only bought one" Maria said.
"That's not going to be enough, I'll pay" the man pulled out a few bills and was about to pay for Maria's groceries.
"No, thank you" Maria said, but the man ignored her and asked the cashier to wrap her groceries, including her pregnant milk. It reminded Maria of Faraz who had done the same thing.
"I'll change your money" said Maria.
"No need" the man insisted, and then he left without looking at Mary. Maria could only be dumbfounded, the man was more something than Faraz. Anyway, who is he? And what does that mean for all this?
After the cashier wrapped up Maria's groceries, Maria quickly picked it up and ran out looking for the man. But he did not find it, making Mary curious half dead.
And his face... His face was not foreign.
"God, meet us again, please"

Maryam came out of the bathroom with her hair still wet, she saw Amar who was still struggling with her blanket. Maryam walked up to her husband and purposely touched his wet hair to his husband's face, making Amar growl yet he still closed his eyes. Maryam again teased her and it made Amar immediately pull Maryam to fall on her body.
"What's up, honey? You teasing me, hm?" Amar kissed Maryam's cheek many times and pressed Mary's body against her.
"It's noon, you don't work?" maryam asked as she kissed Amar's nose.
"Well, I'm tired" whispered Amar "Will our efforts last night bear fruit?" her question made Maryam smile.
"We pray, dear" said Mary softly.
"I always pray, I really want a baby" she exclaimed, still hugging Maryam and again kissed the corner of Maryam's lips "I tried so hard last night" Maryam laughed amusedly at her husband's behavior.
"We leave everything to God, prayer, effort. Aren't you? God will give us what we need not what we want, and God will give it at the right time" said Maryam at length trying to comfort her husband who already wanted a baby.
Amar nodded, stroking gently the wife's cheeks that were still moist because of the bath.
"You're so young, sorry if I wanted a kid, but you're still in college. Am I being selfish?" his whispers.
"Engga" answered Maryam assured "Ummi is also very young and still in school when pregnant Kak Faraz, but Ummi can still be a good mother. And the presence of a child will further strengthen our love, so totally selfish, dear. I want her too"
"The child will be a hindrance to that, Inysa Allah. The boy's a gift"
"I'm very lucky to have you, Maryam. I love you"
"I love you too" Maryam replied.
Amar stared at Maryam so intensely, and he put his face closer to kiss Maryam but a knock on her door stopped the action.
"Master, Madam... There's a guest" heard Fifi's screams from outside her room.
"What, Fi?" amar shouted in annoyance.
"Sshht, don't be so rude" whispered Maryam as she lifted herself from Amar's embrace and then walked to open the door.
"Who, Fi?" mary asked after opening the door.
"Says Mr. Nabil, Madam" exclaimed Fifi.
"Oh, Brother Nabil. That's my cousin, Fi. Tell me I'm coming down in a minute"
Fifi nodded and left Maryam.
"Sir Nabil is downstairs" exclaimed Maryam then he walked to the dresser and dried his hair.
"Yes, I took a shower for a while" replied Amar crawling down from the bed and rushing to the bathroom.
Below, Nabil was quite amazed by his great husband's sister's house.
Granny Amy went to Nabil and talked about a few things. For Granny Amy, Nabil is not much different from Faraz, civilized, speaking politely and always smiling. Makes Granny Amy feel very comfortable talking to Nabil.
Of course, one people.
While the waiter has served fresh drinks and snacks for Nabil.
Shortly thereafter Maryam came with Amar.
"Old time, brother?" maryam asked as she sat on the sofa next to Amar.
"Well, Dek" answered Nabil "So happened to pass around here, keep stopping by"
"Yes, often stop by here, meet you again in Indo" continued Amar who was directly in Nabil's nod.
"By the way, I think the CEO is at this hour already in the office" exclaimed Nabil.
"The CEO also wants to take a day off and spend time with his wife" Amar said as he wrapped his hands around Maryam's shoulders.
Nabil was smiling, his two sisters had found the ideal partner, who loved them and was ready to give anything to them.
Then they chatted, and Granny Amy talked more with Nabil, asking what Nabil was doing, why not stay in Indonesia and as her.
"Why with a wife?" asked Granny Amy who immediately made Nabil to put on a faint smile.
"At least" Maryam replied because neither her cousin nor her aunt ever talked about a couple for Nabil, what else Nabil continued to focus on education to his doctorate.
"There" jawan Nabil who made Maryam surprised.
"really? Who?" ask Maryam enthusiastically.
"Someone" answered Nabil as if full of mystery.
Maryam continued to ask who the woman was, but Nabil was still reluctant to tell her, Maryam also asked if the Indonesians were Arabs, and once again Nabil makes it a mystery that makes Maryam become a grumpy herself.
"Important that woman could be a good teacher for Nabil"
"God, she's a good woman"
