Months later, Qiara's pregnancy is now eight months old. Not only Devan, but Phil, Liam, Kala, and even Javier also took care of Qiara.
The mother-to-be of triplets is still breastfeeding Abby. His heart was quite sad because it could not catch Abby who started walking, as it used to be with Kala.
His stomach was too heavy for him to bow and his waist was easily tired.
Liam willingly looks after Abby. While Kala was busy telling Thor's greatness in front of his mother's stomach. The boy was unusually happy because his three younger siblings were later boys.
“Kala, don't tell about Thor only, story also about the story of the prophets.”
“Ay, Buna!”

At the hospital, Devan and Nadine are in a meeting about the case of a pregnant mother of six twins with two of them either conjoined or attached to each other.
Devan invited the young doctors to come discuss with them. An act that Nadine dislikes.
Regarding his colleagues, Devan does not want to act naive. He knew Nadine had special attention, but he would not respond.
Whatever the reason, Nadine always broken straightforwardly without out of bounds of professionalism.
“Dev, try to see this photo, if viewed then the position of conjoined twins will block the birth canal of other babies.” Nadine deliberately brought her shoulder closer to make contact with Devan's shoulder.
Relax but surely Devan changed his sitting position to stay away from his colleagues.
The young doctors looked but pretended not to know.
“Caesar is the only way. We have to convince patients if a normal birth will be very harmful to the mother and fetus,” he stressed because the patient insisted on giving birth normally.
“We can convey together.”
“You alone, I'm sure patients are more comfortable talking to female doctors. Okay, if there's nothing to discuss, we meet at the next meeting.”
Devan was out to check on the other patients. Nadine who hid her disappointment also came out to the operating room.
Some doctors who stay gossiping, “I want to know, how doctor Devan can survive not tempted with doctor Nadine.”
“You bet. I bet within two months there will be a big affair this century.”
“I don't want that to happen. As long as Devan's doctor is firm, there will be no affair.”
“I know why two months. His wife was pregnant with triplets and soon gave birth. Definitely less rations. I bet they're three months old too. Deal?”
“OK, deal!” Three young doctors split up to their respective duties at the hospital.
At night, Devan plays with Abby, his daughter who is unwilling to be silent and wants to be told. Qiara has a new hobby of knitting, now she sits on the sofa comfortably making a tablecloth either for the umpteenth.
“Uuuunyaa,” Abby calls her bunnies.
Devan and Qiara sat down.
“Uuuunyaa,” ten-month-old baby is increasingly speeding towards the bunanya.
“Qia, our son calls you.”
“Abby, try talking Buna again,” pinta Devan while holding. Apparently Abby still wants to be told and immediately revolted. Devan swiftly lowered and then turned towards Qiara.
Arriving Abbi immediately asked for a sling and held the breast of Qiara sign want to suckle.
Qiara put down the knitting that was being worked on, unbuttoned the shirt, and in less than a second, Abby was already enjoying the closest moment to Sang Buna. His eyes began to melt.
From above, Liam and Kala came down after they finished studying. Now it's Devan's turn to chat with his two children.
While engrossed looking at Abby's face, the hape Devan placed on her front desk sounded. Qiara glanced at Nadine's name.
Devan said, “Lift, tell me I'm playing with my son.”
“If emergency?”
“Emergency line not through her.”
Qiara nodded, “Hi, Nadine, I’m Qiara, Devan’s wife.”
“Goodnight, hi, I am Nadine friend Devan.”
Qiara frowned, there was also this woman's guts. Usually, their doctors will still call titles and call themselves colleagues, not friends.
“Devan is playing with our kids. If there is an emergency, let's follow the path should be.”
“Qiara, you don’t understand, this concerns the patient's life, you should know as the doctor's wife.”
Devan who from the next room contacted the hospital gave a safe code, a sign that there was no emergency from his patients.
“Look, Nadya, that's not your name?”
“Nadine,” answer ketus. Qiara could not hide her mischievous smile. He wanted to linger on the would-be actor but did not also want Abby to wake up.
“Oh yes, Nadine, precisely because I got married not yesterday afternoon, the emergency path is not like this. All problems in medicine must be related to the life and death of patients. At least not tonight.”
“But I have to ..”
“Udah first, Nadine. I'm nursing my baby, have a nice night. Bye.”
Devan who had been sitting next to Qiara gave a thumbs up.
“You are doing this anyway, really until there is a woman so very similar to you.” Qiara sulked unwilling to see Devan. Tears welled up in his veins.
Devan realizes his wife is traumatized by the affair and does not intend to hurt Qiara.
“Honey, Dear. Sorry yes. I don't want any misunderstanding and slander. I have never been with Nadine. There are always intern doctors with me.”
Qiara continued to stare at Abby while biting her lips. The eyeballs hatch and are immediately removed. Devan's heart was sad to see tears in his wife's netra.
“Honey, hey, you believe me, same me?”

Thousands of kilometers away, at a restaurant in the city of Solo, Thoriq was waiting for a woman. Miriam.
For the first time, Thoriq wanted to get acquainted with a woman other than Qiara.
Previously, Thoriq had also asked permission to Miriam's parents to get to know their daughter further.
“Assalamualaykum, Yes. I brought my sister, Isa.”
“Waalaykumussalam, hi, Miriam and Isa. Please sit.”
Miriam, a sweet girl with mature brown skin, that night wore a long, sage-colored veil with a matching robe.
Beside him, his younger brother Isa also looked gallant. They are well-mannered brothers. Their father was an ustadz and their mother was a teacher. Miriam herself is taking S2 for the science of the Qur’an.
Miriam only occasionally stared at Thoriq, the rest of her head down while choosing food and drinks from the menu book.
After ordering for them, Thoriq chatted with Isa who had just graduated from college. Sometimes I ask Miriam something.
Their conversation was warm. Thoriq repeatedly glanced at Miriam who was replied with a shy sweet smile. After dinner, Isa and Miriam parted ways. Thoriq drove to the car.
After they left he went inside the cafe, ordered a cup of bitter coffee.
Solo was raining that night. Thoriq glanced out the wet window.
The man sighed after sipping bitter coffee. Sissy eyes.
“Nothing can replace Qiara in my heart ..”
The next day, Thoriq comes to Miriam's parents' house to say goodbye. He hopes Miriam finds a man who can make their daughter happy.
Both of Miriam's parents cherish Thoriq and pray for the same. They were very regretful because regardless of his status, Thoriq was someone who was courteous and obedient.
In the car, Thoriq felt light. It would be a mistake to plunge freely into a bond without feeling.
He loved so deeply that the loss of that man made him sick as yet incurable. Thoriq also once struggled to love Hanna and failed.
Unwilling to be prolonged, he directed his car to the office while thinking about the villa development plan to the Lombok area.
“Stupid isn't going anywhere ..”
Thoriq also muttered following the badr prayer, Aira's favorite prayer.
