The Love I Don't Miss
Part 102 (Time Travel 1)

One second, is a very short period of time. It may not even feel if it is used to waiting. But the seconds that converge into units of time that turn into minutes, may be enough to be used as a reference to wait time. It's just that it can still be tolerated if you wait for something or someone in a matter of minutes.

And the minutes will be felt longer if it has gathered and passed the number 60. Because the minute will be calculated as a unit clock. Which means it's going longer.

The hours will shape the day, and the day will carve memories and history. Where memories will be formed by different people. Or the union of several people who are in a relationship. Whether it's friends, lovers, husband and wife, family and so on.

If in other parts of the world there are grieving, maybe in other parts of the Earth there are rejoicing. And so on that happens all the time that keeps turning.

Between the rotating Earth, and between the Moon circling the Earth to signal the time it is night, and it is time for you to sleep and rest your exhausted body from carving out the day. There was an adult man standing on the balcony of one of the hotel rooms. When the Sun has even passed far, and the Moon may even be half way over his head.

The 34-year-old stared straight ahead, as if glaring deep in the depths of the Capital night. Look at what he's been through for 34 years. Starting from childhood, adolescence, and pursue a career to the highest peak. Then married quietly - quietly with a girl who is his subordinate in the company.

Then it started there, he hurt a woman, then everything changed, when jealousy began to appear. And it changes more when the bitterness of life comes and turns as if without pause.

But all he managed to go through, until he lost the gentle figure that always calms the soul. Then when the pain subsided slowly, it turned out that God gave him a beautiful little angel he had never known before.

And after the little angel changed himself for the better, he got a bonus from God in the form of a beautiful and graceful figure who was willing to be his wife. An extraordinary woman who was willing to wade through the ocean with herself.

And that figure yesterday he just brought to visit the tomb of his first wife. The woman he loved most during his life. The woman who served him patiently at the end of his life.

Yes, this is the story of Zio and Zahra.

Leaving the day where the two agreed to get married a few months ago, then yesterday they just together - together and alternately visit the graves of their wives and husbands.

In addition to sowing flowers, sending prayers, also asking for blessing for the continuation of life that they hope will be better. Not to forget those who are gone, but to meet the needs that are needed by humans. Because living a kara is also not a good way to live a long day in the middle of the remaining life.

It is also impossible to live the day alone, at a time when the age is still able to work and meet the needs of the family. Although no one knows, until when the age of humans will survive.

The time has shown at 12 p.m. A white suit with a peci was hanging from his hotel room closet. But drowsiness has not come to Zio's eyes. Tomorrow will be a sacred event for both herself and Zahra.

Yep! tomorrow is Zio and Zahra's wedding day. The day that all family members have been waiting for the past three months. Zahra hasn't worked for two months. And since then, the needs of Zahra and Felia have been taken over by Zio which is for financial can be said to be enough and capable.

For child pocket money, Zio never differentiates between Clarice and Felia's pocket money. But if Clarice looks more have everything, yes of course because in addition to the birth child of a General Manager, also the stepson of a CEO who has a large company in the Capital. So it's only natural that Clarice's life is so much more than anything else in Felia's appeal to rely solely on her future stepfather.

Even so Clarice was not a proud and proud child. He remains humble with all the advice given by his mother.

' There's still you here, Naura ... '

He flowed inwardly, with his fingers pointing at his chest, and his eyes staring at the star of night that was studded in the vast sky.

' But there's also Zahra in this section.. '

He left again in his heart by pointing to Zahra's place in his heart.

In addition to bringing Zahra to Naura's tomb, Zio also brought Zahra to visit his beloved sister who has not been out of the Mental Hospital. Even so, Zahra seemed to care deeply about Zhika. Although Zahra occasionally heard Zhika calling him Calina,

"He's known Calina for a long time. Because Mama always introduced Calina to him, and hoped that if Zhika would recover, Calina would be willing to replace Mama for Zhika. Like being a good Sister-in-law to Zhika. No one knows, right?"

At least that was Zio's explanation, when Zhika referred to Zahra as Calina.

And the big-hearted Zahra, never bothered about such a thing. Because everything has been rolled in such a way.

Whereas in different rooms of the floor, there is a dress for the procession of marriage contracts in white which is attached very gracefully in the mannequin that is in the corner of the room.

That was Zahra's room, where the woman was staring at a photo on her phone screen. It was a picture of her husband, while still alive, holding a baby Felia.

The first man who loved her sincerely, but had to separate because of death that separated them by force.

"My wedding vest tomorrow, Mas... You will always have a place in my heart... And in the heart of our child."

Lirih Zahra closed the day with a lullaby.

While Felia slept with Kayla in Gilang's apartment. So as not to disturb the break of the newlyweds. Although in fact the two brides are the same - the same has not slept.

Yes, even though they are widows and widows, it does not hinder their intention to get married in a 5-star hotel and invite office people who always care about their relationship. All are arranged by Zio with the help of Mama Shinta, Kayla and Calina to be presented to Zahra, the future beloved wife.

Even the hotel Ballroom and the decorations used tomorrow are offerings from Kenzo who fully support Zio and Zahra's relationship. Yes, at least as a symbol of peace Kenzo and Zio who had been feuding about the presence of Clarice who was not told to Zio.

Although Zio himself spent a lot of money to complete the magnificent party.

***

Time travel is not over, and the night is over with Zio only able to sleep when the wall clock shows at one in the morning. That was because the man also had to go back to memorizing the name of the third woman who would marry in the procession of ijab qobul.

While Zahra who can sleep early compared to Zio, at 4 am has heard the sound of a bell from the door of his room. Because it must be made up for the preparation of the marriage certificate procession which will also be held in the same hotel Ballroom as the one that will be used as a party event.

Quickly - quickly Zahra cleans herself to prepare in make up by experts.

And now she is sitting at the dresser, which is the point where she will make a new history. Dressed as a bride for the second time.

But what Zahra is looking for is not really luxury, but how sacred the moment they will engrave from that day onward.

If people say that housekeeping is like us boarding a ship that sails on the high seas, it is true. Where the husband is the captain.

Marriage is not the end of an achievement. But the beginning of a new chapter for a ship sailing on the high seas. Where there are storms, rocks, and savage sea predators.

A white dress with a model kebaya tail dangling down to pass the heel has been attached to the body of Zahra who is still good despite having given birth to a child. Her black hair in a bun in such a way that it looks very beautiful and matches the dress that the bride is wearing.

White taper shoes studded with bead grains that only cover the front foot was already worn Zahra.

"One word to describe you is perfect! said Kayla who arrived suddenly appeared from the entrance of her room, and made Zahra's smile expand perfectly.

Kayla wore a soft pink kebaya, and makeup that made the woman look so graceful. And behind Kayla there is Calina in the same clothes as Kayla, just different models. Then one more woman who wears a dress of the same color behind Calina.

"Thank you, Miss Calina has helped me on this great day" Zahra told Calina.

"Just the same, Zahra.." replied Calina.

"You too, Kay. Thank you for everything..."

"Samely, Zahra." answered Kayla.

"Thank you, too, Brother Dita has come all the way here" Zahra told Dita.

35-year-old sister-in-law Zahra and Kayla. Alias his wife Titan. They had come four days ago and lived in their childhood home, which was still occupied by Zahra.

"This is our hometown, Zahra. It is precisely we who should thank you, because your future husband is financing our return" said Dita sincerely.

Yes, life off the island is not always as smooth and a lot of money as most people feel. And for the return of one family also requires no small cost, right?

Zahra replied to Dita with a smile. Zahra increasingly admired her future husband who promised to be the best for her.

The next minute the crowd was outside, where the voices of children were beginning to be heard walking closer to Zahra's room.

Yes, Clarice and Felia, that morning in the dress up was very cute and adorable, with bright pink brocade dress and hair in bun with a soft pink ribbon decoration dangling backwards in the middle. A pair of tiny legs wrapped in soft pink flatshoes, whose beads reflect the lights very beautifully.

Calina is not wrong if you really intend to go down the mountain for the sake of the appearance of children - children look funny and adorable. And all of them are twins of almost the same size.

Two girls of that age look like twins who are ready to deliver their parents to the village.

"Come, Mama! said Grandma Sinta the show's about to start!" felia said to her mother.

"Yes, Son! Mama is ready!" replied Zahra looking softly at her daughter, and her future stepson.

Hmmm. Because all eyes will be on the two of them. And again two little girls who became symbols of each.

***

So after the trip to the Ballroom, Zahra came through the back door to be able to arrive in a special room that is used to wait for the kabul ijab event that Zio did with the ruler finished.

The atmosphere of tension and shahdu is drawn from the faces that continue to pray so that the sacred event runs smoothly. Without a word wrong with Zio.

Zio is already dealing with the penghulu. On the left is Zahra's older brother, Titan Azkara, who became the second marriage guardian for Zahra.

Until a long sentence is said from Zio's lips with one breath only, making all who bear witness to the union of Zio and Zahra love feel relieved.

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Titania Azzahra bint Purwatitan with the dowry paid in cash!"

And the voices of people who say the word Sah echoed in the Ballroom of the five-star hotel.

Zahra stood with a sharp taste. Gently and with glazed eyes Zahra came out accompanied by Kayla and Dita. Cla and Felia were already walking in front of Zahra. Deliver the bride to the chair that has been prepared beside Zio.

While Calina who was in a room with Zahra seemed to see herself seven years ago. Where he did the same. Then Calina looked at Zio who also looked handsome like seven years ago. Maybe even more handsome.

But do'a Calina of course hopefully Zahra does not have the fate of her. Zio had already learned a very valuable life lesson.

Sitting side by side with the same chest - equally pounding, making Zahra almost have trouble pinning her signature. She was so nervous she forgot what her signature was like.

But eventually everything went well. Until the post-ijab kabul photo session is done very solemnly and completely.

And settle Zio and Zahra as a married couple.

A few hours after the Ijab kabul Zio and Zahra event, the event continued with a party. The entire invitation will be scheduled for that afternoon, after which Zio and Zahra change into new dresses.

Sitting both on the lap, Zio and Zahra looked perfectly compatible. Next to them was a small chair that Felia and Clarice were sitting in. Then in the old man's seat, there was Titan and his wife on Zahra's side. While on Zio's side there is Mama Shinta alone who represents Zio's parents.

In the event that a new history is created again. Where the beginning of Gilang and Kayla's love journey begins ...
