The Incomplete Love
It Pained Once

Qiara glanced at the clock on the wall. At one o'clock in the night. Dozens of calls and messages from her husband stopped at ten.

“Yes God is very sick .. “ Qiara holds a chest imagining what her husband might be doing right now with Hanna.

With gontai he brushed pauk side dishes that had been cooked with love.

After finishing he entered the bathroom to clean the body once again. Given the possibility that Thoriq was struggling with Hanna after previously making love to her made Qiara disgusted.

After she finished, Qiara sat down on the side of the bed, looking at her photo together with Thoriq. Both laughed happily.

“Do you love her, Mom? Is there really no one else to marry Hanna to but you, Mas? Why do grandparents force you, when they are always dear and kind to me?”

Thousands of questions and disappointments flew through Qiara's mind.

Unable to sleep yet, Qiara decided to perform tahajjud prayer, again pleading for power to Allah SWT.

***

Hanna was enjoying the face of Thoriq who was sleeping very soundly. There was no intention of awakening so that Thoriq could find Qiara.

The man slept with his mouth slightly open. Since getting married two days ago, only once did Thoriq touch her. That was after Hanna gave her the herbal drink she bought from the market. Powerful medicine said Mbok Surti.

Although Thoriq several feet mentioned the name Qiara, Hanna enjoyed every touch of the man. The first sensation he felt. Even as Thoriq entered her, the pain was felt with a scream of pleasure.

Reapplied the cheek of Thoriq using the back of a finger. Traced his face. A pointed nose, thick eyebrows, high cheekbones, sturdy jaw, split chin.

Slowly, Hanna kissed Thoriq's lips which teased him.

Thoriq moving.

“Qia, Mas love you,” murmured Thoriq while sliding his body.

Hanna paused for a moment to look at the face that had just mentioned her elder sister's name. A meaningful smile rises on the face of the woman who became a flower in her village.

Hanna's hand slowly slipped behind Thoriq's shirt. Plays fine hairs on the chest.

“Qia .. ah,” Thoriq responds to the soft touch of the flickering fingers and hugs Hanna who was thought to be Qia.

Hanna raised her head, increasingly daring to kiss the lips, which her husband enthusiastically reciprocated.

Hanna turned off the room lights. Now his hand started to point towards the sensitive area of Thoriq. Until the man's defense collapses.

With one move Thoriq broke Hanna, wrapped her up and gave kisses all over her body.

“Qia, dear Qia ..”

Hanna closed her eyes. Turn off the jealousy that is infiltrating. He focused on just enjoying a kiss, a touch from Thoriq.

Eventually the two bodies re-integrated. After exhaustion, Thoriq dropped the body beside Hanna. He grabbed his young wife and kissed her head.

“I love you Qia, makasi ya have made Mas satisfied ..” murmured before falling into the dream realm.

Hanna smiled triumphantly. She knows how to satisfy her husband. The breathless young lady pressed her face against the plain chest of her husband. Inhaling the masculine scent.

“Even the fragrance of your body makes me crazy, Mas ..”

Hanna rubbed her stomach.

“May the seed grow here, so that Mas Thoriq will not let go of me ..”

***

Qiara looked at the clock at the nightstand. At 2.30am. His heart did not stop beating because of the waves of jealousy and disappointment that hit his chest in droves.

He's breaking his head. The pillow used by Thoriq.

“We will never be the same again, Mas..”.

***

Thoriq awoke to the sound of the dawn Adhan from his hape. He felt like a body was hugging his body.

“Qia, wake up yuk, we clean up and pray,” he said while continuing to caress the plain shoulder. His hand grabbed the night lamp on the nightstand and turned it on.

Eyes wide open looking at her and Hanna were both innocent.

“Mas,” greet Hanna with spoiled voice.

Thoriq held back the disappointment on him. Then last night he didn't come back to Qiara and instead hooked Hanna. Although not wrong, but he could not imagine the feelings of Qiara who already knew her marriage to Hanna.

Thoriq stared at Netra Hanna sliding the woman's innocent body, covered her with a blanket then walked to the bathroom.

Hanna immediately woke up and rushed towards him.

“Makasi made last night, Mas make Hanna really like the luckiest woman in the world. Hanna baby, Mas. Hanna ready to make a bath Mas first, yes.”.

“Hanna, don't get caught. Mas want to shower yourself, you ready for breakfast,” pinta Thoriq to make Hanna leave it.

“Ready! Hanna will make the best breakfast for my beloved husband.” Hanna tukjit then kissed her husband's lips. Thoriq smiled faintly.

After entering the bathroom, Thoriq rubbed his face violently.

“Qia, Qia, what have you done? Sorry Mas.” Tears trickled down realizing that he had destroyed Qiara's feelings.

Thoriq walked to the shower, turned on the cold water, and stood underneath. Face bowed. His hands clenched against the bathroom wall.

“Qia, Qia, are you still willing to accept Mas?” His issue. There was no trace of enjoyment with Hanna that he remembered. There was only guilt that once again slipped into his heart cavity.

Soon he performed the mandatory bathing ritual. Wearing the clothes he had brought and then going out.

The smell of omelette filled all corners of the apartment.

“Mas, dawn with yuk. Wait for Hanna to quickly cook her bath,” said Hanna cheerfully.

Thoriq nodded, expecting that Hanna would definitely hold him back while he was already impatient to meet Qiara. As soon as the bathroom door closed, Thoriq immediately held a prayer mat and carried out the morning obligations.

He left an ATM card and sent a message to Hanna's phone.

“Hanna, Mas must return to Mba Qiara. There is an ATM card for your hand. Pinna 242424. Mas ask you to understand the circumstances of Mas who must meet Mba Qiara. Assalamualaykum..”

Gegas Thoriq exited the apartment to the car park and drove him home.

“Mas, mas, Hanna forgot to bring the daleman. Can you please fetchin?” Hanna exclaimed from inside the bathroom. Hope Thoriq gets it and he'll flirt with a plain body that's still wet.

“Mas ..”

Hanna opened the bathroom door. She did not find her husband. He saw an ATM card in his bed. With a frown he wrapped the towel and then went outside.

“Mas, are you having breakfast again? Hanna made omelettes with toast. There was warm milk too,” Hanna walked out with just a towel.

Hanna looked up, but her husband could not be seen. He immediately took a cape and read the message.

“Aaaaaarg! Relax Hanna, you have to play beautiful..”.

After thinking, Hanna replied to Thoriq's message.

“Waalaykumussalam. Hanna knows, Mas. Sorry last night Hanna didn't wake up because it looks really cape. Hope all is well. Hanna let me walk around the apartment. May Allah always protect Mas .”

Thoriq saw the incoming message from Hanna. He decided not to open it. The focus was only on Qiara. If Qiara had gone to the office, then he would have followed. His determination was unanimous, not wanting to lose Qiara.

Twenty minutes later, Thoriq was relieved to see Qiara's car still in the garage.

“Assalamualaykum, Qia,” said Thoriq as soon as he opened the door with the key he carried.

He saw the figure he wanted to meet from last night was preparing to go to the office. Pink veils are in line with pastel-colored gamis with floral motifs.

“Qia ... Mas ..”

Thoriq stopped his steps looking at Qiara's swollen eyes and puffy face.

“Waalaykumussalam ..” replied Qiara. His heart grew stifling at the sight of Thoriq who had been bathing with his hair still wet.

“Qia sorryin Mas ..” Thoriq hugged the body of his beloved wife. Qiara let in without retaliating.

“Qia, please hug Mas ... please ..”

“I can't, Mas ..”

Thoriq took off a hug and cupped his hand to Qiara's face.

“Qia, sorryin.”

Qiara sighed.

“Mas can't see you like this. But I know all this because of you. Qia, we are talking yes ..”

Thoriq kissed Qiara's forehead lovingly.

“Qia, can you please come late? We need to talk. I called the office. Qia departs from Mas aja.” Thoriq stared gently at his wife's neutrals. Rubbing the rest of the tear film that is still wetting the lashes. Shady eyes that were now full of hurt and disappointment.

Thoriq took his wife to the TV front sofa. Whatever it was, he had to tell Qiara everything.

“Honey, Mas will tell you everything. It must hurt, but please, hang on. Pukulah Mas, paw Mas. Although Mas knew it all could not turn things around.”

Qiara's heart was beating again. He understood that sooner or later he had to talk to Thoriq. There is no point in avoiding the game of fate that her husband now has two wives.

“When Mas arrived in the village, all were gathering at Bude Luki's house. I heard that Bude left Hanna to Grandpa. The next day, Grandpa spoke to Mas. Ask how best to meet Bude Luki's request. Mas says that Hanna is big, should be able to start standing on her own. Hanna has graduated college so can find work.”

Thoriq closed his eyes

Flash back on …

“Let's phone again yes, Qia. You be careful driving it. In shaa Allah, Thursday until home again ..”

“Iya Mas, be careful, greetings to grandparents. Qia is already missing. Next time Qia follow..”.

“In shaa Allah, Dear. Qia, I have been the same grandfather with my grandmother. I love you, Qiara, assalamualaykum.”

“Waalaykumussalam, Mas.”

Thoriq put down the hape and then took the tray that grandmother had brought. There's coffee and fried bananas in there.

“Qia send greetings to grandparents. Next time Qia will come home too.”

“In the Lord. Thoriq, there's something that grandparents want to talk about. About Hanna.”

Thoriq still enjoy the legit fried banana and sweet coffee. He didn't know Hanna very well because of their age.

“Bude Luki is already severe and has repeatedly entrusted Hanna to us. Grandpa and Grandma are old. We no longer have the energy to take care of Hanna.”

“Indeed should be kept as to what the Cake is like. Hanna has grown up, has graduated from college,” said Thoriq.

“That's it, Hanna is no longer a child. Now she is a grown woman. Kembang village. Thoriq, grandfather didn't ask you for anything. Grandpa's request may be heavy, but grandpa please you agree.”

Thoriq looked at his grandfather.

“Thoriq, grandparents ask for your willingness to marry Hanna.”

Thoriq.

“Kek, Grandma... This is messing around right?”

Grandma took Thoriq's hand and gently stroked it.

“Thoriq, may not remember who Hanna's father was. Pakde Haryo is a person who is credited with building a business with grandfather. Even without Pakde Haryo then grandfather's business will not prosper as it is now.”

“From a long time ago, Pakde Haryo once asked grandfather to match Hanna with you. But when you introduced Qiara, grandpa and grandma undo the intention of seeing you love your wife so much.”

“Kek, Nek, apologize, but Thoriq doesn't want to marry anyone but Qiara. Thoriq loved Qiara very much.”

“Thoriq, you know Hanna is a kara, she has no brothers.”

“But that doesn't mean Thoriq should marry Hanna, Kek. If money problem, Thoriq can send every month until Hanna works through Granny.”

I heard someone knocking on the door.

“Pak Hasan, hurry to Bu Luki's house, already more critical!” There was a male voice screaming.

“Astaghfirullah!”

Grandfather, grandmother, followed Thoriq rushing to Bude Luki's house which was not far from their home.

Upon arrival, the grandparents went straight into Bude Luki's room. Thoriq waited outside while reading yasin with the villagers.

The family of Grandpa Hasan and Bude Luki is indeed famous for being generous and always ready to help the villagers. So if in trouble, the villagers also do not thank you to directly help.

“Thoriq ..” Call grandma.

The man frowned, feeling bad for what was about to happen.

“Nak Thoriq ..” Call Bude Luki witty.

“Ya Bude..”

“Bude wants to leave Hanna on Nak Thoriq. Bude's son has no one left. Marry Hanna, this is Bude.”'s last request

“Bude, Thoriq don't want ..”

Suddenly grandfather knelt in front of Thoriq.

“Thoriq, grandfather willingly kneeled pleading with you. Marry Hanna. Please grandpa keep trust Haryo and Luki.”.

“Grandpa, wake ..”

“Grandma also begs, Grandma knows this must be painful for Qiara, but Grandma will apologize and explain..”.

“Grandfather, grandma don't be like this, Thoriq please ..” The man was struck by panic.

“Thoriq, Hanna no one, Bude please ..”

“Thoriq, grandparents will continue to kneel until you grant our request ..”

Thoriq closed his eyes. The pain he would give his beloved wife. But rejecting the request of grandparents who have raised him is also very heavy.

“Nak.. “.

“Alright, Bude..”

“Alhamdulillah, mas Hasan, is willing to be a marriage guardian for Hanna?”

Flash back off…

***

Tears poured down on Qiara's beautiful face. Each circle was like a sharp knife that pierced Thoriq's heart.

“Qiara, sorry Mas has ruined our dream. But Mas beg Qia, never stay, Mas .. promise yes, dear ..”

Qiara. Occasionally his head shook, driving away the pain.

“Qia, Qia ..” Thoriq embraces Qiara's body tightly.

“Never stay, Mas, yes. Mas also confused how to Qia.. only you have certainty that Mas has ..”.

Qiara was crying, so was Thoriq. The love they have is now broken to pieces. A million disappointed and frightened.

Thoriq gently stroked Qiara's head that was covered in a veil. Put his face on his woman's shoulder.

Qiara broke her embrace. His eyes stared softly at Thoriq's face.

“Mas ... has Mas touched Hanna?”

“Qia ..”

Qia's crying broke again. Thoriq wanted to hug but was pushed aside by Qiara.

“Mas, do not touch Qia, please ..” Pinta Qia among the sedu sedu.

“Do not Qia, Mas beg .. do not be disgusted the same Mas..”

Qiara continued to push on Thoriq.

“Qia hate Mas Thoriq, go! Qia said go!”

Qiara ran towards the room but was chased by Thoriq who was directly clenched tightly from behind. Qiara struggled to the point of exhaustion but Thoriq never let go.

“Qiara .. Mas please, sorry Mas ..”

“All is destroyed, Mas. Qia's heart ached. Last night Qia waited and Mas did not come home. Mature woman Qia, Qia understands what must have happened between Mas and. Qia sick ... it might be better Qia mun ..”

“Sssh, no Qia! Mending to die rather than live is not the same as you. I don't love Hanna. It's just you, Qia. But Hanna is also Mas's wife, as far as Mas dodges, there are times ..

Hearing her husband's words, Qiara's legs were unable to support her weight.

“Qia!”

Thoriq carried Qiara to the room. He laid it down gently, opened the veil, and then applied eucalyptus oil to Qiara's nape and legs. Massage it with affection and worry.

It wasn't long for Qiara to wake up. Thoriq looked at her and offered her a warm sweet tea.

“Minum, Darling ..”

Qiara held the cup with trembling hands.

“Yes Allah, this pain feels combined. Can I be sincere, God?” Inner Qiara.

Thoriq took the cup from Qiara's hand that was still trembling.

“Yes Allah, forgive me for hurting the woman I love so much,” Thoriq said in his heart.

Qia tried to wake up.

“Mas, Qia must depart. Qia's permission to leave is not the same. Qia need own time.”

“Neighbor Qia. I will not allow you to drive yourself. Go the same, please. Qia, I'm so afraid you stay Mas.”

Qiara.

“All are not the same. We can't be like before. Qia isn't willing to share you with Hanna yet. And probably never will.”

Thoriq. Fear covered his heart.

“Moreover imagining you touching Hanna. Pain, Mas ..”

“Qia please .. The heart and love of Mas belong only to you. Only you. But with the current conditions though Mas never asked Hanna, but it is very likely to happen. Forgive Mas ..”

Thoriq lamented his weakness of not being able to resist the requests of his grandfather, grandmother and Bude Luki to inflict wounds on Qiara.

Thoriq gently wiped away the tears from Qiara's cheeks.

“Mas asks us to face this together. I also don't have two wives. You are everything and that is enough. Please be kind to your heart Qia ..”

It was like Qiara was yelling at destiny, but all was meaningless. It's all been happening.

“Mas, Qia will last as strong as Qia. It's just that Qia asked not to bring Hanna here. Qia can't see you two yet.”

Thoriq nodded. He is not a sadistic man who invites his young wife to live with an old wife.

“Qia should be strong, Mas will keep looking after Qia. Keep the feelings of Qia. My heart ached to see Qia like this. Again, Mas sorry ..”

Qia nodded weakly. Thoriq grabbed his wife and hugged her tightly.

“I love you Qiara Anjani .

Qiara's tongue felt faint to reciprocate the love speech, although his heart still felt love very very very much. Love is no longer complete.
