Qiara eagerly prepared the favorite cuisine of Thoriq, her husband who tonight will return from his hometown in Central Java.
After asking her boss for permission, Qiara came home and stopped by the supermarket to buy all the ingredients to make her husband's favorite chicken and pork parchment. Not forgetting he ordered satay on a subscription.
Thoriq has been in his hometown for a week to see Grandpa Hasan and Grandma Farida. Thoriq was raised by his grandparents after both of his parents died in a bus accident when he was a child.
Qiara looked at the clock on the wall. Thoriq will arrive before Maghrib. After setting the dining table, Qiara cleaned the body. Wear a cute and sexy house dress to welcome the man who has been her husband for one year.

Qiara grabbed her hape.
“Assalamualaykum, Darling. Otw go home, I love you and miss you so much. Always..”
Qiara smiled reading the incoming message from her husband.
“Waalaykumussalam. Really kangen. Qia also already masakin soto ayam and the same parchment buy satay. Qia pray first yes, can’t wait.”.
“Iya beautiful, you pray first. In shaa Allah 30 minutes Mas until.”
Qiara smiled. A red tinge on his cheek. Imagine the activities of letting go of homesickness later tonight with her husband. He took ablution and fulfilled his duty as a Muslim.
After conveying her meritoriousness, Qiara heard the sound of a car coming into her yard. Qiara folded her face and then tidied the prayer mat. Scrubbing a bit of his face and spraying Thoriq's favorite scented oil. With happy steps to the terrace.
As soon as she opened the door, Qiara found a handsome face that had been missed this week. Qiara immediately hugged her husband tightly, hiding a face in the chest of the field that always gave her comfort.
Thoriq also hugged his wife's tiny body tightly. The woman who was missed by night. Women who have been a source of happiness since they became acquainted.
“Arabar, Qia, dear? Mas kangen really.”
“Qia also misses Mas.” They linked their lips together until Qiara suddenly realized that her husband had not come alone. Qiara removed her lips from Thoriq, staring at the figure of the woman standing behind Thoriq.
“You ... You're Hanna isn't it, huh? His son Bude Uki?”
“Iya Mbak, I'm Hanna.” Answer while looking down.
Qiara frowned.
“Honey, we go in first, yuk..” Take Thoriq while holding Qiara's shoulder and invite her in.
“Hanna, you sit there first. I want to talk to Mba Qiara.”
“Good, Mas,” reply ogled.
Thoriq smiled at Qiara and took her to the room. The burning miss he could no longer bear.
A pair of teary eyes looked at Thoriq and Qiara who had entered the room.
As soon as he closed the door, Thoriq immediately attacked Qiara with a kiss. Unmindful of the look in Qiara's eyes who was still asking with Hanna's presence.
Thoriq gently laid Qiara down. A pair of people who love each other releases the longing they have endured.
On the bed, Thoriq was always in control. Similarly today, Thoriq abandons desire briefly but satisfies both.
When he finished, Thoriq turned Qiara towards him. They are stuck with an innocent body.
“I love you, Qiara Anjani.”
“I love you too Mas Thoriq Aditya.”
“Same promise Mas, we will always be together, yes.Mas can not live without you.”.
“Kok said that? What is it, Mas, why is Qia so scared…? That's why Hanna came to Jakarta, Mas? Want to find work?”
Thoriq grabbed Qiara's head and buried it into his chest. Smell at the top of the head with the smell of shampoo that became opium for him. In reality Qiara was an opium to Thoriq. The place where his love is.
“Sssh, don't think of anything else. I just want us to enjoy this moment in a moment.” Thoriq closed his eyes embracing as much happiness as the woman he loved.
“Mas, we clean up first. You must be a laper, right?”
“Mandi two?”
Qiara only smiled shyly and resignedly as her husband took her to the bathroom.
After one love game, the two went out of the room hand in hand. Making a woman stare at the nanar by enduring envy.
Thoriq continued to hold his wife's hand as he stepped onto the guest sofa where Hanna was sitting waiting. The steps are heavy, but inevitably he has to go through this.
“Hanna sorry to wait a long time, Mba grabin drink first,” cetus Qiara with cheerful carrier.
Thoriq sat on the long sofa, sighing. Qiara came while carrying a glass of sweet iced tea for Hanna.
“Diminum first Hanna,” said Qiara while sitting next to her husband.
Hanna smiled faintly and drank the sweet iced tea that Qiara served.
Thoriq took a deep breath.
“Qia, Bude Luki last week passed away..”.
“Innaalillahi wa innailaayhi rooji’un.” Qiara looked at Hanna's face, she saw the woman shed tears. Qiara knew exactly what it was like to lose a mother. Her instincts made her rise from the seat then walk and hug Hanna.
“Yang sincerely yes, Hanna, in shea Allah Bude Uki has calmed there.”
Hanna awkwardly returned Qiara's embrace and then replied softly, “In shaa Allah, Mba. Thank you ..”
Qiara again asked, “Continue your plan now how, Hanna?”
“Qia, sit here, anyone should Mas bullshit.”
Qiara smiled looking at Hanna's face and then sat down next to her husband.
Thoriq took a deep breath.
“Qia, you remind, right, Bude Uki, Grandpa Hasan and Grandma Halimah are friends?”
“And you know, Hanna is an only child and only lives alone with Bude Uki?”
Again Qiara nodded while occasionally glancing at Hanna who************** the end of her veil. Qiara's brows slightly furrowed to notice Hanna's misbehavior.
“Qia, just before Bude died, Bude left Hanna to grandfather ..”
Thoriq paused for a moment. His heart is beating fast. Her eyes looked at the beautiful face of Qiara who was full of question marks.
“Kakek ... Grandpa agreed and asked ... “ Thoriq could not continue his sentence.
Qiara smiled, as she grabbed Thoriq's fingers.
“Kok your hands are so cold, Mas? What did Grandpa ask?”
Thoriq cupped his hands to his wife's face. “Honey, you should know that Mas loves you so much .. You are the only woman that Mas wants ..”
Hanna sobbed making Qiara even more confused.
“Before Bude died, Hanna and Mas .. Hanna and Mas married ..”
Qiara stared in the netra of her husband. Netra who was now returning her gaze was filled with guilt.
“Ah .. mas kidding right? I want to prank you, right?”
Silently, Thoriq shook his head now that his neutrals looked down, unable to look at his wife.
Qiara's body shook. His eyes took turns looking at Hanna and Thoriq.
Breath hunting.
“Mas once again I asked, Mas joking, right? I'm not really getting married anymore, right?”
“Mba, we were both married shortly before Mom died. I'm sorry Mba Qia...” said Hanna.
Thoriq was about to hold Qiara's hand, but was pushed aside by his wife.
“Qia ..”
Qiara got up then half ran into the room with a cry. The man who was missed, who had given a wonderful romance a while ago, turned out to have tied himself to another woman.
Thoriq was chasing Qiara.
“Qi .. Qiara .. “
Qiara turned her body. His eyes were staring at Thoriq.
“I'll be in the room. I hope you and your new wife weren't here when I came out.” Without waiting for Thoriq's reply, the devastated woman entered and locked the door to her room.
His body was falling behind the door. The bones were unable to withstand the waves of disappointment and heartache he felt. Qiara cried terggugu.
“Astaghfirullahaladzim, astaghfirullahaladzim..ay Allah, it hurts Allah.” Qiara held onto her chest, tears streaming down.
Thoriq leaned his head against the door.
“Qia, open Qia. Please ...” Matapun water flows. Unable to remember his wife's disappointed and hurt look.
“Sorry, Mas, Qia, please don't do this.”
“Go and bring your new wife!” Qiara replied between her cries.
“Qia, Mas will go, but Mas will definitely come back. Qia we need to talk …
Qia, Qia ..”
Qia ignored her husband's call.
“Excuse Qia, Mas, but this is too painful ..”
Thoriq stared at the door of the room which is now the barrier between himself and his woman. The woman he broke his heart.
Hanna had been standing behind him.
“Mas, be patient, in the Lord we will live this together. Patience and Istighfar, yes, Mas.”
Thoriq did not reply to the words of the woman who had been his rightful wife. While Qiara who heard Hanna's words held back the rumbling anger inside her chest.
“Qia, Mas go deliver Hanna to the inn, later Mas will return. Sorry, yes Qia. Love very much with you.”
Hanna let out a breath. Indeed, the age of her marriage is only a few days, but even though her husband has not said the words love and affection to her.
For Hanna, Thoriq was her idol since she was a child. Thoriq, a village youth who is famous for being handsome, intelligent, and athletic. When Grandpa Hasan asked if he was willing to marry Thoriq, Hanna timidly nodded.
He knew that Thoriq had married Qiara, a beautiful and sholihah woman. The last time he saw Qiara was when he brought her to the village for a wedding. They both look very happy and in love.
Despite being a second wife, Hanna is determined to make Thoriq love her.
Thoriq walked slowly to get Hanna's bag and headed for the car. Hanna followed her husband from behind.
Qiara heard the sound of a car leaving her residence. Slowly he got up. His feet were weak without power. Repeatedly he fell while heading to the bathroom to take ablution.
***
Thoriq drove his car to an apartment owned by a friend he had rented for Hanna's residence.
At least he did not want to hurt Qiara, but he also could not refuse the request of the grandfather who got to his knees when he asked her to marry Hanna.
He never had any feelings for Hanna. Even until the moment that Thoriq touched her, he regretted not falling over for betraying Qiara. Thoriq does not even remember his union with his wife when he was the first to touch Hanna.
“Mas, be patient, Hanna is sure Mba Qiara will be able to accept our marriage. Hanna's gonna try to get along. Hanna will definitely help Mas.”
“Thank you, Hanna. Let Mas first talk to Mba Qiara.”
“Hanna just wants Mas to know that Hanna really learned to love Mas. for Hanna this is not a messy marriage.”
Thoriq took a breath.
Hanna glanced at her husband.
“Mas, I will make you love me and forget Mba Qiara ..”
