The Incomplete Love
Meet Grandpa and Grandma

“Assalamualaykum Dhanu, Qiara,” greet Grandpa and Grandma together.

“Waalaykumussalam Grandpa, Grandma, Mas Thoriq.” With reverence Qiara kissed the back of her third hand. Likewise with Dhanu who was asked to come by his sister.

Grandma hugged Qiara tightly. Missing and guilt are mixed.

“Please enter,” invite Dhanu to invite Grandpa, Grandma, including Thoriq. Ever since Thoriq introduced Hanna, it was lost to Dhanu's respect for her sister-in-law. So deliberately, he treated Dhanu as a guest in his house.

Qiara walked into the kitchen to get her homemade snacks, a klepon and a steamed sponge. Thoriq followed Qiara into the kitchen. As soon as the figure of his wife was not visible to his grandparents, he hugged from behind.

“Qia, Mas kangen really.”

Since the arrival of Grandpa and Grandma, Thoriq told her not to stay at Qiara's house for an entire week until the party was over.

Qiara tried hard to suppress the heartache, disappointment, and jealousy. He twisted his body and returned Thoriq's embrace.

“Beauty, Honey,” whispered Thoriq in Qiara's ear. He held her close to the woman who was missed by night.

“Qiara ..” Grandma suddenly walks into the kitchen.

Two humans instantly unraveled their embrace. Thoriq stared anxiously at Qiara's timid face.

“Iya Nek,” Qiara replied.

“Grandfather request anget bitter tea said.” Grandma said as she looked at Thoriq, it was completely different the way Thoriq looked at Qiara and Hanna. Today, Thoriq was very excited to meet Qiara.

“Good, later Qia makein, Nek.”

Grandma smiled towards Thoriq and Qiara, looking once Thoriq wanted to immediately Grandma leave the two of them.

“Mas, Qia want to get ready first.”

“Just a moment Qia, Mas beg.”

Qia leaned her head against Thoriq's chest which was clenched tightly back as if she did not want to let go. Thoriq could not imagine how sick Qiara was. The eyes that had sparkled yesterday are now back dim.

Again he cursed himself who gave up on the game of fate.

“I love you Qiara Anjani, you are the love of my life.” Thoriq wiped away the tear from the mouth that had escaped soaking Qiara's cheeks.

“Mas..” Qiara looked at Thoriq with a wound-filled gaze.

“Qia Darling.” Thoriq clenched tightly together Qiara's body, both crying together.

“Qia.” Suddenly, Grandpa was standing at the kitchen door. His face pias saw the suffering of two human children who loved each other. Suffering caused by promises to be kept.

“Sorry Cake.” Qiara and Thoriq hurriedly let go of each other. Grandpa saw the two crying while hugging. It feels so bad.

“Grandpa wants to go to toilet.”

“Please, Cake, briefly Qia between snacks and tea to the front.”

Grandpa passed by with a gamang. While Thoriq helped Qiara prepare everything.

Qiara and Hanna have very different traits. Qiara was gentle and understanding. Although cooking is not his skill, he learned that there are dishes that his family likes.

Another case with Hanna who is usually served. He only started serving Thoriq after seeing how Qiara prepared Thoriq's favorite meal when they arrived at his house.

In addition, Hanna tends to be spoiled, although actually her heart is good, but often closed with the nature of wanting to win by herself.

“Mas you in front aja, Temenin Grandpa and Grandma and Mas Dhanu,” pinta Qiara.

Thoriq. He wanted to steal time with Qiara even though it was only in the kitchen preparing snacks and tea.

Before long Thoriq and Qiara came out with snacks and tea. Dhanu looked at the cry marks on her sister's face. His molars clapped in anger.

After they all sat down, grandfather made small talk until he finally said,” Qiara, Grandpa and Grandma want to apologize for asking Thoriq to marry Hanna.”

Qiara looked at Grandpa with sadness. It means nothing to regret and apologize. Love that is built sincerely is now cracked and can not be whole anymore.

Grandma grabbed Qiara's hand. “Grandmother understands it is difficult for women to share a husband. We are sorry to have placed our trust in you. Grandma saw how much Thoriq loves you, Qia.”

“Every time we pray, we always say a prayer for your happiness.”

Dhanu watched her sister who was enduring the grief.

“Qiara, here sit beside Mas Dhanu.” Instinct as a sister immediately rose to see her sister was very hurt.

“Mas ..” Qiara felt impolite to take off Grandma's hand that was still holding her hand.

“Grandpa, Grandma and you Thoriq. I am really disappointed with this situation. I just hope Qiara is strong. If it is handed to me then I will ask for back Qiara from you Thoriq!”

Thoriq gasped, his heart as if it had stopped beating. The man knelt before his brother-in-law.

“Mas Dhanu, forgive me. But please don't ask Qiara to leave me. Maybe people think it's good to have two wives. But not for me. If I can choose, I only choose Qiara. Mas know, I only live every week to meet Qiara. I look forward to the days with Qiara and hope the day I have to leave her never comes.”

Thoriq.

“I am indeed a weak man who cannot keep Qiara. Even I was unfair to Hanna for not being able to love her. Again I beg Mas, do not ask Qiara to leave me.”

Grandpa and Grandma could not bear to see the granddaughter they raised now begging for her love. Both feel very guilty.

Qiara approached her husband. Embrace his shoulders.

“Mas.”

Thoriq grabbed Qiara's hand. Grasping and kissing her. His gaze begged for Qiara to stay with him.

“Qia, please never stay Mas. You tell me you are not strong. We will leave Hanna.”

Tears dripped from the clear eyes filled with sadness. Qiara knew how respectful Thoriq was to his grandparents.

“Mas, we live the days. Let's keep each other feeling. Now it's not just Qia's feelings that you have to take care of. But there are feelings of Grandpa, Grandma, and .. Hhhaanna,” Qiara said in a trembling voice.

“Qiara. Maafin Mas..” Thoriq hugged his wife tightly. “Maafin Mas ..”

“Sitting on the sofa yuk, Mas,” invited Qiara, could not bear to see her husband rest in front of her brother.

Thoriq took his first wife's hand and sat down beside her.

Grandpa and Grandma sighed.

“Im sorry Grandpa and Grandma. Looks like we're too rash. Forgive us, Qia, Thoriq.” Grandpa and Grandma lowered their heads.

“All happened Cake. Qia please, wish the best for.”

“Call me and Qia to be together and happy,” Thoriq said.

Qia clasped Thoriq's hand, leaning his head against her husband's shoulder in search of strength. Thoriq hugged her with affection. He pecked his wife many times.

***

Grandpa and Grandma were at the hotel where they were staying.

“Bu, I'm still as soft as Thoriq and Qiara. Ra tegel sakjane.”

(Mom, I still miss Thoriq and Qiara. It doesn't feel real.)

“Piye yo Pak's. Ndelok Thoriq ninggalke Qia, dhadhi melu nangis I.”

(Where is sir. Look Thoriq said goodbye to Qia so follow me cry.)

“Our fault yes Ma'am. But the rice is already porridge. Hope all is good wae.”

“Yes Sir, we pray for. While I want to advise Hanna so as not to force Thoriq.”

***

“Mas, I want our party in the ballroom of the Fairymount Hotel in Senayan. More hits.”

Thoriq scrunched his forehead. Of course he is familiar with the hotel managed by his company.

“We only invited a few relatives. Fairymount Ballroom too big.”

“We can invite more people, Mas. I want the world to know that I'm Mas.”'s wife

“Mas disagree.”

“Why? Must be afraid Mbak Qiara is sad. It's always Ma'am Qiara who's thought. This is Hanna's first and last marriage. It's only natural that Hanna wants to hold the dream of Hanna.”

“Serah.”

“Well it's dong, it's just a beloved husband.” Hanna approached to kiss Thoriq's lips.

“Mas won't come.”

Hanna's body stiffened. Emotions peak.

“Kok that? It's so evil. I don't care how I feel.”

“Hanna, Mas will charge our wedding party according to Mas.” ability

“But Hanna has money, Mas. The legacy of Father and Mother is quite a lot.”

“Mas doesn't want a big party. Yes indeed Mas considered the feelings of Qiara even though it was not at all a comment out of him. But we know ourselves.”

“Always Mbak Qiara, always Mbak Qiara. Even Grandma asked Hanna to appreciate Mbak Qiara's feelings. Know like this Hanna does not want to marry a second wife!” His impact.

Thoriq breathed a disappointed sigh. As much as the quarrel with Qiara, never did his first wife raise her voice.

“You're sorry? Shall we split up? I don't mind. Mas can keep you without having to be tied to marriage.”

“No! Hanna won't be separating from Mas. Hanna love and will make Mas just love Hanna!”

Thoriq stared at the back of his second wife who entered the room while slamming the door.

“Astaghfirullahaladzim says. Forgive me, O God, who continues to hurt the wives you have entrusted to me. Give me instructions.”

Thoriq opened the Qur’an application and chanted the soothing holy verses. Together with Qiara, if they argue, one will invite to pray or lie down. After quiet debate changed with discussion until it ended with a scrumptious struggle in bed.

While perceiving his reading, Thoriq continued to ask the Almighty for guidance. Before long, Hanna came out with a pouting face.

“Mas, why not susulin Hanna?” He asked without caring about Thoriq who was still reading Qur’an.

“Shadaqallahuladzim..,” says Thoriq ends reading.

“Sit here, Hanna.” Thoriq patted the seat beside him. Hanna sat down while hugging Thoriq's arm.

“Hanna, Mas say thank you because you have liked Mas since long ago.”

“I've loved Mas since childhood. Mas it's Hanna's first love.”

“Thank you. But not with Mas. We are nine years old. I didn't even pay much attention to you when I came home. Suddenly I had to marry you last month. I do not agree because I secretly like you. Not so Hanna. I really have to adapt to all of this. It would be easy if I were single. He has a wife who loves him very much. Mbak Qiara is Mas.”'s first love

Hanna wiped away her tears. His head was leaning against Thoriq's shoulder.

“Mas didn't think of having two wives, Hanna. So did Qiara. Imagine his feelings when Mas came home and brought a new wife. You don't make it all easier either. You put the stimulant herbal medicine several times so that Mas touches you. Your spoiled attitude makes you tired. And demands that Mas love you immediately. Mas tired, Hanna.”

Thoriq heard his wife sobbing.

“Mas will not divorce unless you ask. It was Mas's promise that must have hurt Qiara. You know, when Mas was a kid living in Sulawesi and Mas's parents were in an accident. Grandparents and grandmothers care for and raise Mas. Too much debt to Grandpa and Grandma that turned out to be paid with happiness Mas.”

“Hanna loves Mas very much ..”

“Give Mas time to split hearts. Although Mas has not promised love.”

“Mas won't stay with Hanna?”

“Mas will take care of Hanna always, as promised to Grandpa and Grandma.”

“Sorry Hanna, Mas. Hanna hopes our marriage will be good and Mas will fall in love with Hanna. Sorry if Hanna forced it. Hanna is afraid of losing Mas.”

“We start in a new way. Sorry Mas also who do not know how to treat the wives of Mas.”

“Ya has become our event in the original place yes.”

“Iya Hanna.”

“Now I have fried chicken first, yes Mas. Hanna tried cooking it herself. Hope you like.”

“In shaa Allah..”

Hanna kissed her husband on the cheek and went to the kitchen.

“I relented to win.” Hanna swore in her heart to bring her husband to his knees.

He secretly mixed the stimulant herbs he bought at the herbalist shop in the market behind the apartment.

“You never intended to touch me without giving me this herbal medicine. I need to get pregnant so you don't get away from me, Hanna's inner”.
