The Incomplete Love
Dharianne

“Mas Dhanu!”

Qiara walked quickly towards her brother who was directly running towards her. The two brothers, who had been separated for months, hugged each other tightly. Qiara was crying in her brother's arms. Dhanu hugged him tightly, a tight hug of an older brother who wanted to protect his younger sister.

Marianne approached her future husband and sister-in-law who were also her best friends. Rama, the only son followed behind Angel, Marianne's sister.

Dhanu cupped her hands to Qiara's face.

“You're news, Honey. Are you okay?”

“Qia good, Mas. Look at Qia's stomach is like a big tambur. Oops, this is another baby girl.”

Dhanu rubbed her sister's stomach. Feeling the bulge due to the movement of his nephew candidates. He smiles.

“Qia, she moves again!” The two brothers laughed.

“Terus Mbak dicuekin?” Marianne approached Qiara and immediately hugged the pregnant woman.

“Mba Anne! Qia kangen!”

“Qia, you're pregnant glowing. Your body is not fat. Just his stomach. When Rama's pregnant mother, it looks like her body stretched until the refrigerator.”

“But all is normal right, Qia.”

“Alhamdulillah, normal, Mom. Qia always checks to the midwife every month. Then to obgyn also according to the reference from midwife.”

Qiara then hugs Angela and Rama, a small boy who is busy jumping up and down because he wants to see Mark and Melanie, his grandmother.

“Mark and Mel will be here soon, it was full parking so they rotate. Qia very cool we can meet all of you.”

Qia's face was radiant. Dhanu continued to look at his sister's face. He embraced Qiara.

“Dek, do not walk first, wait for bentar.”

“Why the hell, Mas? Kasian Mel with Mark.”

From far away came a boisterous voice calling, “Qiara .. Qiara!”

Qiara was wide open, her eyes were incredulous, all her companions were running towards her while their son and husband were tailing.

“Alya, Cherish, Ella, Sabrina! Maa shaa Allah,” Qiara walked up to the women excitedly with the face of sumringah.

She hugged tightly while laughing and crying happily.

“Qi, you're so pregnant. Asliks. I'm pregnant and I'm like a lame rhinoceros,” Sabrina chirped as she stared at Qiara from toe to toe.

Ella connect, “Glowing really yes, she. Hmmm don't-don't you already have an estimate, huh?”

“Kaqak .. no surprise I have a crush. I'm here working like a horse, back home acute tepar,” reply Qiara while chuckling.

They walked towards the car pick-up area.

“Surprise really see you guys come all.” Qiara took Sabrina and Alya in her arms, after arguing with her best friend's husbands and children.

“Crazy lu ye, we won't be lewatin mega wedding of the century. Your brother and sister Anne will continue to fight. Uh even now want married.” Sabrina replied as she glanced at Dhanu and Marianne who blushed.

“I'm happy to have a new papah,” chirps Rama who does not want to release his arm from Dhanu. Ever since his father left his mother, he has lost his father. His father's new wife immediately had twins until she rarely saw Rama.

Dhanu who really likes children is actually familiar with all the children of Qiara's friends. But with Rama he seemed to have a special bond only Marianne according to Dhanu is a stubborn woman figure.

As they were taking care of Qiara's divorce, the two had a chance to get to know each other. Marianne is not a stubborn woman, but as a single mother, she has to be tough and assertive.

Dhanu is a figure who protects. Since her mother died, she was the one who nurtured Qiara. His age is also immature. His father was a busy doctor. Marianne desperately needs a shoulder to lean on and she eventually finds it on Dhanu. Best friend's sister.

They'll be married in two days. Marianne will marry her Muslim uncle and live in Australia.

As Mark and Mel's vehicle approaches, Rama soars in excitement to see his grandmother and grandfather. Behind him Jeremy drives a mini bus to transport their friends and family.

Jeremy came down to hug Marianne. After learning the limits of mahram and non mahram, Marianne clasped her hands on her chest.

“Jer, no hugging,” said Qiara remind blue-eyed bule man.

“Oops, Forgot, old habbits die hard. Sorry, you must be Dhanu. Don’t get me wrong, Marianne and I grew up together.”

(Ops, I forgot. Old habits are hard to lose. Sorry you must be Dhanu. Don't get me wrong, Marianne and I are kids.)

“No worries. Nice to meet you.” Dhanu welcomed Jeremy's hand, shaking it tightly.

“Qia, you okay?” Jeremy asked Qiara who was still grim with other friends.

“I’m so happy. I missed them so much!”

“I can see that,” reply Jeremy, his eyes staring gently at Qiara who was already cool joking again with his friends.

Dhanu and Marianne glanced at each other looking at Jeremy's gaze at Qiara.

“Qia you boarded Mark's car, we meet again at the hotel,” continued Jeremy.

“Okay, see you guys. We'll talk again.” Qiara waved to her friends.

Jeremy directs Qiara to get into the car. Dhanu looked on with a frown. After Thoriq, he did not believe in a man who had a certain purpose with his sister.

Jeremy obviously likes Qiara.

“Allow me to help my sister,” Dhanu told Jeremy, cutting his steps and helping Qiara get into the car. Jeremy remained standing beside Dhanu making sure Qiara was comfortable.

“You mess with her, you are a dead meat. I kill you myself, Jer,” whispered in the ears of that bule man.

(Rakalan mampus if you macem-macem the same Qiara, yes, Jer. I'll beat you up myself!)

Jeremy bergidig but still standing in his place. Then after seeing Qiara safe in her brother's hands, she headed for the mini bus, not forgetting to throw her tongue at Marianne whom she already considered her brother.

Jeremy drives a mini bus to the hotel. Fauzan sat next to him and asked, “So, you and Qiara?”

“Me and Qiara what?”

“Aaah, there’s something between you guys,” chirped Sabrina.

(It looks like you guys have nothing.)

“It’s obvious Uncle Jeremy. Or at least you like Auntie Qiara,” sahut Rama from behind. Although he missed Mel, he forced to come to the car with his peers.

(What a look Oom Jeremy has. Or at least you like Aunt Qiara.)

“What do you know, boy?” Jeremy laughed with another laugh.

(Know what you are, boy?)

“Well, but I think Auntie Qiara is still common with Uncle Jeremy. You have to work harder,” reply Rama pretentious.

“Let's time, Jer, Qiara is still trying to forget her pain towards Thoriq. I'm sure she still loves Thoriq. But he has to move on. Thoriq was happy with Hanna, I often met her at product launch events. He is so different now,” said Alya while looking into Jeremy's eyes from the rearview mirror.

Jeremy quietly sighed hearing Qiara still loved Thoriq.

“Marianne, you are so beautiful.” The five companions went into Marianne's room before the qabul was carried out.

Qiara hugged Marianne who would soon become her sister-in-law.

“Mbak Anne, I leave my sister. Love and love Mas Dhanu,” whispered Qiara.

Marianne took off a hug then looked at Qiara deeply.

“In shaa Allah, Mbak will be the wife of sholihah, a good mother to Rama, and a sister-in-law who will take care of you.”

“You guys, don't cry, make up will fade!” Excited Cherish hurriedly took out a tisue for Qiara and Marianne.

“Hey hey, already, it’s time. Inget, if you want to post, no location, nti duo kunyuk it look. Eh maap I mean Thoriq and Hanna,” cetus Ella who immediately rectify the designation for Thoriq and Hanna.

Qiara gave a thumbs up. He then hurriedly took Marianne's hand to enter the location of the ijab qabul.

Dhanu was already sitting at the qabul ijab table. Raising tuxedo creme. So gallant. Marianne smiled looking at her future husband. Qiara took Marianne to sit next to her sister.

Dhanu stood up to greet Marianne, pulling a chair for his future wife. Then he hugged Qiara.

“Dek, doain Mas, yes,” whispered. He then looked at his only brother.

“Mas, keep loving each other. Don't let anyone enter between you, for whatever reason. Honor your wife, be a priest to your family. Promise, yes, Mas,” pinta Qiara while looking at Dhanu deeply.

“In shaa Allah Qia. Mas will also continue to take care of you even though you are married.”

“Sssh, Sister Marianne and Rama are now more important. Dhanu kept Qia from childhood. Now it's time for Mas Dhanu to look after Mas.”'s wife and son Qiara kissed her brother's cheek then sat down in the family area. Waiting for the most sacred moment, when a speech becomes a pledge.

Qiara recalled the time when Thoriq had firmly said the qabul to receive his marriage and marriage. Eyes warm. Sabrina glanced at him.

“Move-on, Qia. You should be happy. You'll be happy. There is a baby who is always the fruit of your love,” Sabrina whispered while holding Qiara's hand.

Smiling and nodding, Qiara erased Thoriq's shadow. He heard his brother recite the qabul ijab and officially made Marianne his wife.

A simple yet festive feast is held to celebrate the sacred bond between Dhanu and Marianne. Rama is very happy because now he has a father who can accompany him to play ball, swim, play games. The boy proudly called Dhanu Papa.

“Gaes, we take photos of yuk hands, a sign of our friendship getting closer now and forever,” Alya invited.

The six companions made a circle with their hands. Fauzan got on the chair to take pictures.

“Forever besties!” The six exclaimed, making all the guests turn their heads and feel the warmth of friendship.

***

Thoriq just woke up, after the dawn prayer, he felt a headache. Hanna forced him to go to her friend's party again. Hanna with a bulging stomach did not hesitate to go home late to be able to hang out with her new friends.

Once at home, Hanna wants to take Thoriq to make love, but Thoriq is too tired and his head starts to hurt. He went straight into his room, heeding Hanna who kept calling him.

While gnashing his eyes, Thoriq took a hape. A notification from a social media account appears on the screen. Notification from Alya, one of Qiara's companions. Soon Thoriq opened me up.

Photo of a bunch of circular hands, but only one that makes his heart beat faster. The hand that the owner missed.

“Qia, Qia it's your hand. I will never forget.”

Soon Thoriq called Alya. He would beg to be able to talk for a while with Qiara. Thoriq sniffles when Alya's number is off. Try it on all the numbers of his ex-wife's best friend. There is no active number.

“Qia, hope you are well. I always miss you.”

Thoriq clenched his hape tightly, then threw his head against the pillow. Tears flow slowly. The man closed his eyes tightly. He does not know which is more painful, the heart that continues to long or the head that is more throbbing.
