Two Years Have Passed

Moments of time continued to go on, as day, and night continued to rotate in its circular line. Day after day, month after month, had passed leaving behind a bleak time.

Without feeling the time has been running for two years. Kairi has recovered, he can walk as usual. Since Kairi healed, Bu Halimah returned to the country of Indonesia, she lived her life as before.

Billa has now grown into a very beautiful, intelligent boy. And Holy, with great effort, and prayer always said, the miracle of God is truly with him.

After a long time of intensive care, Suci finally recovered completely. The blood cancer that had once perched in his body, is now gone. But even so, his condition has not recovered as before. His body was still thin, and a little pale. The doctor advised that he should not expect to have offspring.

But all that did not shake Andra's intention, he remained in his stance. He will marry the Saints, and make her happy. He did not care whether he would have offspring, or not.

And today is a happy day for Andra, and Saints. They will be getting married in Paris. Saints no longer have families in Indonesia. So Andra married her in Paris, given the unstable condition of the Saints, it is better not to travel long.

Mr. Louis, Ms. Mirna, Kairi, and Ella, they all gathered in the main house. They help prepare for the event later tonight. Not a fancy party, but just a simple party. All this was a request from the Saints, he did not want a great feast, just legitimately he was already very happy.

Right now Andra, and Suci are sitting in the garden, behind the house. They were relaxing while waiting for Billa who was learning to paint. Billa was very happy to paint. Although now the result is only a colorful streak, but Ella is very supportive.

Ella always bought watercolors, and canvas for Billa. He also kept all his paintings. Maybe according to others it was just a useless streak, but for Ella it was a very beautiful painting. Ella will always support the talent of her child, who knows someday, the talent that will bring Billa in success.

"She is so adorable" said Suci as she looked at Billa who was engrossed in her paintings, her lips pursed so seriously.

"Yes, the more days he seems to get fatter" Andra said with a smile.

"No Papa! I'm beautiful, I'm not fat." cried Billa as she turned, looking at Andra.

Andra and Suci laughed loudly at Billa's reaction, the boy was always upset, if anyone said he was fat.

"Fat is adorable, why don't you like it?" asked Andra while rubbing the top of Billa kepla.

"Mama's word is fat." replied Billa.

Andra shook her head. From the past until now, from the old to the young, whose name is always a woman like that. As if fat is a very creepy scourge. As if fat was a very fatal flaw. Though not all men like slim women, many of them prefer fat women.

"Why are you Ndra?" holy asked as he frowned. A little astonished when he saw Andra, shaking his head with a smile.

"It's just a wonder with women, it's complicated." replied Andra.

"You mean?"

"Fear so fat, but it's not bad" Andra said.

"People's opinions are different Ndra" said the Holy One.

"Yes, including you too, my dear. Very afraid of the name fat." Andra quipped. He recalled a long time ago, Suci always limited his portion of food, just because he was afraid of gaining weight.

"That was Ndra, now it's not. Precisely now I really want my weight to go up, so as not to be thin dry like this." said Suci while lifting his arms, and showed it to Andra.

"Thankful dear, no matter what your circumstances, I always love you" Andra said as she clasped Holy's hand.

"Yes, I've always been grateful to Ndra." replied the Holy Lord.

"I am so grateful that my illness was curable, and I was given the opportunity to be with you. Marrying you, and getting love from you, is a wish that I dreamed of Ndra" said Sacred in his heart.

"It's Papa, it's Auntie!" billa shouted suddenly.

Andra and Suci turned their heads, they stared at a slightly messy streak of color. Sacred frowned, trying to understand the meaning of Billa's painting.

"This is Papa's hand, and this is Aunt's, and then this is Billa painting. Is it so dear?" andra asked while looking at Billa.

"Yeeee, Papa is great!" billa shouted in joy. He smiled broadly, clapping his hands.

"Billa's so funny, and Andra, she looks so fond of her. If only I could ask, I would like to have another child." - Inner Sacred with a bitter smile.

"You can understand Ndra?" ask the Saints slowly.

"Of course, honey. Because I see it not only with the eyes." replied Andra.

"Then?"

"You're a bitch!" holy Grumble with annoyance.

"Why are you so upset like this, hmm?" andra asked while raising her eyebrows.

"I need an explanation, how can you understand it." answered the Holy One.

"Listen to me, I saw him back and forth glancing at us while playing his brush. So I thought he was painting us, and it turned out that my guess was right." whispered Andra.

"So you really can't understand it?" ask Sacred.

"Of course not, it's just like that who can understand." replied Andra while glancing at Billa's painting at a glance.

"I think you're great." said Suci.

"My greatness is not in that" Andra said.

"Yes, your prowess is only in terms of seducing women." said Suci.

"Not only that, in bed I'm great too." Andra said quickly.

"Hus, there's a little boy, don't just talk!" holy Word while closing Andra's mouth.

"Sorry." replied Andra with a slanted smile.

***

The hour hand showed at 07:00 p.m. Mr. Louis and his family had gathered in the living room. Anston, Sarah, Reymond, and Angelina were also present. God's plan is never wrong. Angelina tries hard to regain Kairi's love. He justified all means, but all was in vain. Kairi chooses Ella, and Angelina is left behind.

Amidst the pain, it turns out that God sent another man who replaced Kairi in his heart. A man who can love him, accept his flaws, and can accept the child he is carrying. He is Reymond, the man who became Kairi's friend and right-hand man.

Reymond married Angelina, two months after Angelina gave birth. He thinks the baby is like his own son. Now the baby has grown into a very handsome boy.

Not long after, Suci and Andra had already walked out of the room. Suci looks very beautiful with a lacy white robe, white veil decorated with a small crown with colorful jewels. While Andra, he also looks handsome with white pants, and a long white shirt.

Andra and Saints joined his family. They sit in front of the head. Then Ms. Mirna covered their heads with a long white veil. Since there was no longer any family, Saints performed her marriage to the judge.

"Are you ready, can we start now?" ask Pak Penghulu who is from Indonesia.

"Ready." replied Andra firmly.

"Well, we start now Mas Andra" said Pak Penghulu while shaking Andra's hand.

Andra's heart beat faster, she tried hard to suppress her nervousness. It was like getting married, Andra thought.

Andra's sweat began to pour, when the penghulu began to say basmallah. His heart beat faster, his nervousness overpowered him. Until shortly afterwards, he realized from his daydream when the ruler shook his hand.

"I accept the marriage of Holy Regina Hilmy Bint Almarhum Sugia, with a dowry of ten grams of gold paid in cash" Andra said with a little nervous. His sweat was pouring more and more, even now he felt his back start to get wet.

"How's the witness, legit?"

"Well...!" answer them in unison.

"Alhamdulillah."

Andra breathed a sigh of relief, finally he managed to carry out the ijab qabul. Finally, now Holy is rightfully his wife.

"Thank you God" Andra said in her heart.

Then Saints shook Andra's hand, and then kissed her. Andra smiled, and kissed Holy forehead long enough.

"May all this be a beautiful beginning. I decided to marry Suci, hopefully I can make her happy, and we can both step onto a better path" Andra said in her heart.

"Thank you God. I'm so grateful to be married to Andra, I hope I can be a good wife to her. O Allah, I would like to give offspring to him" said the Holy One in his heart.
