The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 286 S2 (Roni's Invitation)

That Sunday morning Khaira was delighted, as all her brothers and sisters-in-law visited their home for lunch together. He did not feel lonely in his luxurious home-in-law, because his brother and sister-in-law always accompanied them up to seven days of Laras' departure.

With the spirit of Khaira accompanied by Ira with Hasya struggling in the kitchen to prepare a lunch menu that they will enjoy together. Azkiah and Rhina cut the fruit that was to be made into dessert.

Meanwhile, Ivan and his other brothers-in-law were busy talking in the gazebo to discuss their respective work problems. A warm feeling surrounded Ivan's heart to see the compactness of his brother-in-law who always supported and enliven their lonely home since the death of Laras.

This lunch felt so lively, how not they did it in the back garden of the house. It was like a garden party. Ivan was happy to see the smile and laughter could not be separated from Khaira's face. She still remembers Khaira's words last night, and she sure wasn't a light choice for Khaira to accept their marriage, but she still struggled to get her heart back.

“Because of the disaster that befell Aunt Laras, we were forced to travel umroh,” Ariq started the conversation after lunch was over.

“So when the plan goes mas, maybe we can come together …. “ Ivan said instantly.

He wants to go with Khaira and the twins. He will treat all the pain that Khaira had experienced by taking her on a religious trip as well as a vacation together.

“The plan is next week. I've been arranging the departure schedule to the holy land for a week. We will also visit Junior. It could be a trip that we will do spend two weeks,” Ariq explained clearly.

“Next week the children have started school mas …. “ Khaira reminds Ariq and his other brothers.

“It's okay. They can get permission first at school,” Ali added.

“Yang, tomorrow we will go to Indramayu to attend Roni's wedding reception,” Ivan looked at Khaira with adhesiveness making all eyes fixed on the two.

Rheina smiled at Ivan's greeting that had never changed in the past, while Hasya had already sneered with her sweet lips to make Valdo pinch her.

“Why don't you go with Danu. I'll be at home with the twins,” Khaira trying to resist Ivan's desire to go together.

“You are yes de, the husband is accompanied. Ntar there are those who follow again ...” no doubt Hasya is warming up Khaira, “Yang interest in your husband is a lot you know …. “

Khaira was not provoked by Hasya's talk. He only smiled faintly and busied himself to feed the Dawn and Dew that sat on his father's lap.

Ivan looked at Khaira's face with clinging, but there was no noticeable change in his wife's face. His roar was still as flat as meaningless. Khaira averted her eyes as her gaze wired with Ivan.

“Go with Ivan. The twins will be left at home tomorrow. Children must be happy with the Dew and Dawn,” Ariq has decided, “Do not bring clothes and milk. Dawn and Dew requirements are already available at home.”

He felt very close to Ivan. As a man, he felt what Ivan felt. She did not want Khaira to punish her husband for too long, though she believed Ivan could not have made the same mistake. But still as an adult man what is expected from the relationship between men and women, and Ariq is very understanding of it.

Khaira's eyes rounded hearing Ariq's words. He did not dare to argue, because Ariq's speech was the highest law in the family that had been agreed from the beginning. As the eldest brother he gave the decision and the others did not dare to argue if he had already decided.

A small smile rose on Ivan's barely visible lips. He was happy that Ariq was now on his side.

“Dad, shana ... “ index finger Dewentik pointed to his brother who played near the fish pond, some were playing swings and slides newly created Danu and some yesterday workers.

“Have you?” Ivan stroked the Dew's hair and kissed her head affectionately.

“Have father egh …. “ Burping Dew makes all smiles look at it.

“Dad atu itut,” Dawn does not want to lose.

Ivan immediately carried the two and Dawn immediately went up to his father's back laughing happily because their wishes were obeyed by the father.

“Ra, you still remember oma's late home message?” Ariq started a serious conversation with Khaira once Ivan started to move away from them.

He gave the code to the others to leave him and Khaira. Ira and Rheina and Azkia began to clean up the remaining food as they had all finished their lunch. Hasya also got up from her seat and invited Valdo to accompany the children to play.

Ariq wanted to remind his sister to throw away all the grudges that are still stored in her heart and sincerely live a married life with Ivan.

Hearing Ariq's words, it was uncomfortable for Khaira to comment. He knows the direction of Ariq's conversation. He bowed his head piercing the carpet on which they sat at this moment.

From a distance Ivan observed the interaction that took place between his wife and his eldest brother-in-law.  He felt happy because with Ariq's support then all confidence will return to him.

“Suami is a field of reward for the wife,” Ariq's voice says slowly but sharply piercing kirimubari Khaira, “Fun the husband is the duty of a wife.”

Khaira's tears began to drip. Not that he did not understand the problem, because he had experienced it with Ivan. Every effort to please Ivan during their stay in the household he had done. Until the dirtiest advice he instilled in the heart just to please the husband.

It does not matter so pel*** for husband himself ….

Ariq saw Khaira beginning to sob at his words. He knew Khaira understood everything he said, but still had to be reminded. Especially for his other brother is not possible to advise Khaira to do good and please the husband for the integrity of the household that is just starting to be built. They have understood Khaira's harsh attitude and are not easily conquered if it is not in accordance with his wishes.

“Ivan and Aunt Laras have sacrificed a lot for all of us, especially you and the twins. Try to reopen your heart to him …. “

Khaira's tears are getting worse.  He could no longer hold his fists. His shoulders trembled withstanding his cries in order not to sound the other brother.

“Ivan has no one else but you and the twins.  There is nothing more he needs now than the attention and affection of a wife so that he is excited in living his days. How long are you going to be like this? Don't you see how he behaves and behaves? Ivan's seriousness in helping you care for and nurture the twins? Don't punish Ivan for too long. Patience of a human being has its limits.”

Khaira grew more and more in her sadness at hearing Ariq's words. He could not just think of his selfishness to keep the pain that would forever not be easily lost. But he also had to think about and keep Ivan feeling. Appreciate all the sacrifices Ivan and his mother made for him and Dawn.

From a distance of five meters Ivan could see all the movements of Khaira. He did not know what Ariq had said to his wife, but Ivan was sure that Khaira was crying. He saw Khaira who repeatedly wiped his face with the tissue in front of him. He could not bear to see his wife tear up, it felt like this time Ivan also wanted to run and give his shoulder as Khaira's back and share the sadness together. Ivan had to refrain from doing so, because he believed Ariq advised his brother to represent conscience as a fellow man, and he felt grateful for it.

Seeing Khaira bend her face deeper makes Ariq so pity. He knew the inner contradictions that were going on in Khaira's heart. But she wanted Khaira to take care of Ivan's heart and feelings and appreciate all the sacrifices her husband had made. Slowly Ariq patted their beloved sister on the shoulder.

“May your marriage and Ivan sakinah, mawaddah and warahmah. Like the wishes of our parents who have been called first.”

“Thank you for reminding me mas ... “ Khaira said with tears in her eyes, “I will try my best as a wife.”

“Not crying anymore. You are already a mother of two. Don't be a whiny person,” Ariq's smile is flared looking at Khaira's swollen eyes with her nose reddened from crying for too long.

“Who made me crybaby, if not Ariq …. “ Khaira pinches Ariq's arm which now teases her.

Ivan was relieved to see Khaira and Ariq laughing together even though it left a noticeable mark on his wife's face.

“Yang, Dawn wants bobo …. “ Ivan approached Khaira who was still sitting while Ariq had walked away, “Embun still playing with Qeela,”

Khaira immediately got up from her seat. Ivan embraces Khaira's shoulder trying to strengthen the wife whose face still looks grim. Khaira did not reject Ivan's treatment. She followed in the steps of her husband.

Azan Zuhur from the mosque began to echo. Ivan immediately laid Dawn on the bed. He saw Khaira who was still dumbstruck standing to see his activities. He did not know what his wife and brother-in-law had been talking about, but he believed it affected Khaira because he could see her face still cloudy.

Beyond Khaira's expectations, Ivan grabbed her and hugged her tightly. His fingers caressed his wife's head covered in a hijab. He wanted to give comfort to Khaira to share her grief and to spill all her burdens and lean on her chest.

Khaira fell silent over all of Ivan's treatment. For a moment she felt the warmth in her husband's arms. Ivan felt Khaira's hands begin to circle in his stomach. A faint smile rose on Ivan's face realizing Khaira was beginning to reciprocate his treatment.

He took off a hug and grabbed Khaira's chin to look at her face. He saw the tears now pooling again in the clear eyes of his wife. Ivan drew his face closer and looked at the honey lake he had accrued last night.

Khaira resigned when Ivan began to drop his lips and landed quietly on his lips. Seeing Khaira who did not react made Ivan more confident. As he began to gain access to deepen his kiss, the knock on the door made him hold back the resentment in his heart.

“De, Dew nangis cariin his father ... “ Ira's voice stops Ivan's activities.

Khaira flinched and pushed Ivan's body which was still firmly attached to her. Ivan smiled as he nodded his head and walked open the door.

“Dad ... “ like a Koala child quickly Dew moved into Ivan's arms as soon as his father opened the door.

“The others have been to the mosque, you two are even engrossed in the room,” Hasya appeared in front of them while carrying a bottle, “About the new bride wants in the room mulu ..”

Ivan smiled at the innuendo of his brother-in-law the lightest of his mouth among others. He looked at Khaira and handed over the Dew which was now beginning to fall asleep in his carrier.

“Mas to mosque first. Dew was sleeping,” Ivan said slowly as he walked towards the bed.

He immediately laid the Dew down quietly and kissed her forehead gently.

“Mas is going to the mosque following another,” Ivan said as he stared fixedly at Khaira.

Khaira nodded her head not daring to look at Ivan's face. A happy smile was drawn on Ivan's face looking at the red hue drawn on Khaira's face. He believes Khaira is beginning to accept his existence.

At eight o'clock in the morning Ivan and Khaira embark on a trip to Indramayu to attend Roni's wedding and reception. They had left the twins in Ariq's house. The twins were delighted to see all of their cousins gathered at Ariq's house. Coincidentally the holiday time of class increase is still one week left.

The journey from Jakarta to Indramayu takes almost four hours via the Palimanan toll. Ivan deliberately did not bring a driver or invite Danu. He wanted to enjoy the trip together with Khaira.

“Hatchi …. “ Ivan sneezing. He looked at Khaira with discomfort, “Sorry...”.

Khaira looked at Ivan. She felt that her husband was not fit. Ivan sneezing again made Khaira feel worried. She saw sweat begin to flow on her husband's face. Spontaneous Khaira fingered Ivan's forehead. He felt Ivan's body cold and began to sweat..

“Mas, your forehead is cold. I'm fine, right?” an anxious look was drawn on Khaira's face.

Ivan grabbed Khaira's fingers still attached to her temple and kissed her and then grabbed her. The warmth enveloping his heart gained Khaira's attention. Back he kissed the soft fingers of Khaira who was in his grasp.

“Mas is fine,” Ivan smiled gently soothing Khaira who was looking at him anxiously.

Khaira grabbed the tissue and wiped away the cold sweat running down Ivan's face. She saw her husband's face did not stop with sweat that continued to flow into the river.

“We stopped by the hospital. I'm worried …. “ Khaira could not cover his anxiety to see Ivan's condition.

“Mas just soy sauce dear,” Ivan glanced at the clock on his wrist, “Ten more minutes we until.”

Khaira sighed slowly. His gaze did not turn to Ivan. He knew what Ivan was saying was true. Her husband was lacking rest. After taking care of the twins for a week in the hospital, plus the calamity that befell automatic Laras Ivan reduced the ration of rest and sleep at night.

“That's his house …. “ Ivan felt relieved when he saw the janur mounted high in a fairly large house with a very wide page.

“Now we will stop by the doctor's practice yes mas,” Khaira still does not want to get off the car once Ivan has parked the car in the spacious field opposite the wedding venue.

“Ya darling. I will follow your wishes.”
