The Incomplete Love
Love Warrior

Qiara sleeps flanked by Abby and Zee who are very fond of spoiling with their Buna. Qiara gently stroked the hair of her daughters.

“Buna, how do we know if someone is our soul mate?” Abby asked as she rubbed her nose against Qiara's shoulder.

“The fool is God's secret to us. As His servants, we can beg to be instructed that comes through feelings of love, comfort, and affection to our partners.”

Abby has a beautiful ring on her ring finger.

“Abby scared this all too soon.”

“Keep why would you want to apply?” Ask plain Zee.

“It's something that makes women bonga-bonga. Mbak hopes love, comfort, and affection will grow over time.”

“You believe Muha will go hand in hand with you on the journey of love?” Qiara responded to Abby's statement with a question that made her daughter think.

“Well, that. Abby saw how Buna used to be with Daddy. You look at each other with love. Expect each other. Every time Abby looked at the netra Muha, Abby found no happiness there, instead sadness.”

Their bedroom door was knocked.

Zee opened, Kala immediately stormed in and took a place beside Buna. Not caring about Zee trying to infiltrate to be able to hug Buna.

“Kala, it's big.” Qiara chuckled to remind Kala who likes to forget the age if it is close to the Bunanya.

“Belom.” He replied that he didn't care.

“Mas Kala, nasty. This is Zee!” The girl was ready to bite her brother.

“Ck, here Dedek Zee darling.”

“Wek,” ledek Zee who directly took the original position. Now sitting on the sofa. His eyes were on Abby. Her sister is enjoying a moment with her daughter.

Kala rubbed her face violently.

“Mas Kala why?” Zee who was watching her brother was astonished. Her manner was silly and jolly. These days Kala is quiet and seems to be thinking about something.

“Sini Zee, sit the same Mas Kala.” The youngest then sat down beside her brother while hugging tightly.

Of all the older brothers, Zee idolized Kalandra the most. Although he likes to be upset because his brother still likes to be spoiled with his favorite Buna.

“When are you okay, son?”

“Bonused times.”

Qiara wakes up followed by Abby.

“Mas why?”

Abby sat next to her sister. Kala then hugged her sister and kissed her forehead long ago.

“Mas didn't get seriously ill, did they?” Abby teary. It's really out of the ordinary Kala. This one brother was far from melancholy.

“Mas Kala very dear to you Abby.”

“Kala, don't be weird, what's up?” Qiara panicked and held onto her two children's shoulders.

***

Thoriq sat in front of Muha who was shocked by the arrival of his fiancee's future stepfather.

“Uncle ..”

“Busy? Hape is not slammed. It's hard to find a service center.”

Muha did not respond just staring nanar to the hape that had been the target of his unrest.

“You know, a person's face and eyes are windows of the heart?”

Muha's forehead frowned at Thoriq's still-quiet sniffle looking at the young man in front of him.

“I've been in your position. Losing my beloved woman. My indecisiveness, my foolishness with deciphering obedience to my grandfather and grandmother produced suffering. Well, I did have a pretty boy from the fruit of my betrayal, but I lost Qiara.”

“Uncle?”

“Yups. Maybe Abby told you about Aira? His sister-in-law who married Liam? Aira is the son of my second wife. Qiara chose to step aside from our marriage by carrying Kala in her stomach. My message to you, young man, before it's too late, getting married is happiness for us. Not anyone else. If your love is not for Abby, don't sacrifice your true love just because of someone else's request.”

Muha was silent, pervading sentence after sentence that Thoriq delivered.

“Abby is not my son. But I love her mother very much and have promised her father to look after Qiara. That goes for his kids too.”

Thoriq brought his body closer to Muha.

“Think of what I just said. Me, Kala, and all of Abigail's brothers won't stay silent if you have the wrong intention to marry her.”

“Uncle ..”

“You're a boy. Your broad shoulders are to shoulder responsibility. Life is not about treasure. Without love, possessions are just accessories. Imagine waking up every day next to a woman you don't love ..”

“My parents?”

Thoriq patted Muhammad on the shoulder.

“Nak, I'm a father. My job is to protect Kalandra and Aira, not burden them with my ambitions.”

Muha took a long breath. All his life, he lived to fulfill the ambitions of both his parents. Being the best in the class, graduating from the university of his father's choice, working in the field his parents wanted.

He has ever been disputing. His father did not hesitate to beat him in front of the employees of the oil palm plantation. Everyone was silent and did not dare to argue or defend him.

“How do you serve both parents, it is your business. My business is Abigail. Can you forget about Qismina and love Abigail whole?“

“Uncle tau?”

“You think it's easy to waltz into the Donavy family? You know what led them to investigate you? Abigial. He feels you don't really love him.”

Muha was embarrassed. The cover is open already. It will be known as the gold digger.

“Providing unwholesome love is hard, son. Don't you take that road.”

Thoriq then stood up and left Muha.

While in Qiara's room, Abby listens carefully to Kala's explanation. How shocked to find out the intention of the Muha family to interfere with him is a treasure. He is considered to be the coffers of money that can give them comfort.

“Why didn't I talk earlier?”

“Buna just told Kalandra to order Mario and his team to investigate Muha. Uncle who gave you an idea because he was worried about you.” Qiara calms Abby who starts to get emotional.

“That was after you went back and forth expressing your doubts to Muha,” he added again.

“Mario's men asked directly to the Muha family in Malaysia and also tried to find Qismina. Muha's father turned out to be very sneaky, so Mario must be careful.” Kala explained.

“Basic hairy goat weasel!” Abby said furiously.

Kala glanced at her mother because she felt something was wrong with her sister's sentence. Qiara shook her head so that Kala would not continue or would make Abby even more angry.

“I want to find Muha.” With a red face, Abby got up and headed for the door.

“Abigail, pray first,” command Qiara, know very well his son this one downhill his breezy nature if it is emotional.

Kala took her sister, led her to the bathroom.

“Wudhu, pray two rakaat if you must udah.”

Abby obeyed her mother and sister. Zee is still trying to digest how Muha could have evil intentions on her brother. Her mother and sister explained gently because they did not want Zee to grow up to be a grumpy and vengeful figure.

After the prayer, Abby was calmer. Still on the bed the young girl was crying. He covered his face with both hands. Qiara sat down beside him and Abby immediately hugged looking for protection.

“Buna, Abby kayaking Liam and Mba Aira. Everything's smooth. Abby shy.”

“Ssssh, everyone has their own way of life. We have a different burden to bear. Our job is to make sure whatever steps will be taken in accordance with sharia. Then why the shame? Abby wrong what?”

Qiara stroked her son's head. Abby still sobbing in the arms.

“Abby has the right to be angry but do not let anger control you. Cry if you are sad, but then hold your head up because God is cleansing your sin with every sorrow that Abby feels.”

“Zee can, tell the person Oom Mario to hit Abang Muha,” plain speech typical of teenagers who are emotional.

“Aaw that’s briliant!” Abby laughs between her tears and embraces Zee.

“Mario numbers are on the speed dial. Go or no go?” When I heard that the most meek Zee among them turned out to have a warrior soul as well.

“Don't even be supported, Kalandra.” Qiara glanced at her son.

“Buna used to fight Aunt Hanna alone, until he shot. Just be careful if Zee meets his father Abang Muha, will Zee kick, Zee tonjok, Zee ..”

“Sssh, Buna son beautiful sholihah, here yuk sit same Buna.”

“Abis Zee sprained, already old kok still eyes duitan.”

“Means his parents Abang Muha from young is already crazy treasure, Zee. This Mas Kala is not ghibah, but wants to remind the brothers that do not put the treasure together. There's another one that Abby must know ..”

“There again?”

“Muha was from childhood often beaten his father even until now. Honestly according to Mas, he is a good boy, only he has not been able to take a stance to the mother's father. According ustadz, we should not follow the orders of parents if it contains elements of shirk or evil in it.“

Kala added again, “Mas Kala had heard the story of Aya when Grandpa and Grandma to their knees and was about to kiss Aya's feet to marry Aunt Hanna. Seeing the two parents who had raised him to such an extent, Aya did not reach her heart until she finally relented. If it's Muha's case, he's beaten if he doesn't follow his father's words.”

Qiara was stunned, suddenly the pain he felt back pierced his heart.

Her children missed watching their mother's sudden sad facial expression.

Kala even added, “Makanya later if you are a parent, we can not feel the most know, most understand what is best. Yeah, right, Buna?”

Qiara sighed, shaking off the pain and expelling the anxiety that slipped into the recesses of the heart.

“Betul, Kala. Those parents should be the safest and most comfortable place for their children.”

“Muha beaten her father? Already the eyes of the bouncer pula.” Abby's compassionate nature makes her feel compassionate.

“Abby, Abby. Now Abby decide what you want? If you really want to continue the relationship with Muha, then map the risk in front of you. If not, end it well,” said Qiara who did not want her child burdened.

“Abby talk to Muha first then. Abby pray sunnah again, the emotion had gone up again.”

***

Muha and Abby walk down the cobbled streets of Ediburgh. Afternoon cheer can not replace the evil heart of two people who are still reluctant to exchange words.

“Abby, would you like to sit on a park bench? Or in the cafe?”

“Park bench.”

Abby asks for permission to meet Muha alone, without the company of Kala or Barran. So he chose a crowded place so as not to bring slander.

Although the sun is still reluctant to dim, but the air is quite cold. Muha gave her a jacket to wear by Abby.

“Wear, at least this is the sincere kindness I gave you. Sorry, I, Abby.”

“All you ever do is pretend?”

“Not all. In our relationship, I do love you, but as a sister.”

Abby nodded while biting her lower lip to ward off the pain.

Bitter because at first he did not like Muha. Even for months Muha pursued it either directly or through Kala.

As the feeling grew by itself, it turned out that Muha's persistence was only a form of obedience to his parents.

Abby took the ring off her ring finger.

“There are more entitled fingers wearing this ring. Fight him.”

“Abby ..”

“Abang, I want to be angry because I'm disappointed. But I know if you can choose, then you won't hurt any woman.”

“Abby you are a very good-hearted woman. Brother apologizes for having been insincere to you.”

“I've started to like to know, Bang.” Abby again nibbled on her lower lip a sign she was feeling uncomfortable. His eyes looked forward.

“But we better finish it now because there is no need for anything to be maintained. A good brother. Abby heard her father was fierce,” Abby said as she looked at Muha's face.

“Abang is not coming back to London anymore. It seems like Brother chose to elope with Qismina. Uh sorry, Abby.”

“I’m good. Now all of Abby's doubts are answered already. All right, brother, I wish you all the best.”

“Abang pampits with Auntie and Uncle are also your brothers.”

Abby saw the hape. Then grunting restrained laughter.

“They're in the cafe opposite. Look at us again.”

As soon as Muha followed the designated direction, he immediately found five people who turned their faces away and pretended to be busy with drinks in front of them.

“Abang envy you. Have a very compact family. Later if God loves trust to have his own family, you want to be like your family. Warm and compact.”

“Sucks also sometimes.” From far away Abby looked at Kala who was mimicking someone crying. Kala teaches Aira, Abby, and Zee to become women who are not easy to be.

“Abby once again I'm sorry because PHP is the same as you. May you have a man who loves you.”

“Abang also good luck with Qismina.”

“In the Lord, are we friends?”

Abby shook her head, “Now can't, still disappointed and angry.”

“Abang understands, once again please forgive.”

Sighing, Abby walked towards the cafe where her family was. Soon Muha said goodbye to everyone and left Edinburgh to pursue his love.

Abby stirred the hot chocolate that Barran ordered. Drinks that are usually drunk when upset.

“It seems that bearing the name Donavy is too heavy. People will see me as a walking bank. Maybe I'll change my name to Abigail Dian Donahue.”

Qiara chokes.

“Abigail! Don't fuckin' say it's Daddy's surname. You're like Kalandra is weird.”

“Tuh, right. Kalandra again, Kalandra again. Barran, Zee, did you see Mas Kala diem only from earlier?” Sanggah Kala did not accept his name brought around.

“And you who usually have strange ideas,” Qiara do not want to lose.

“Abby, mending you now think how to let Buna get married quickly with Aya. Let someone control it,” sukul Kala who still do not accept. Although in reality Kala likes to have different thoughts.

“Buna, Uncle. Come get married fast, at least nothing good happened to Abby today.”

“Today?” Qiara raised an eyebrow of astonishment while Thoriq smiled.

“Qia, if possible, I want to give you the ring.” Thoriq took out a ring purchased at a jewelry store in the small town.

Kala stared at the diamond ring that was almost invisible in size with a makeshift design.

Qiara held back a laugh but it was undeniable that her heart soared with Thoriq's persistence.

“Bismillaahirrahmanirrahim. Qiara Anjani, will you marry me, again?”

Qiara stared in shady eyes before her.

“In shaa Allah, Qia mau, Mas.”

Thoriq handed the ring to Abby to be attached to her mother's ring finger.

All the children of Qiara looked at her mother's radiant face back.

When saying, “Lamaran people who have entered the age of twilight is less exciting, yes.”
