Certainty of Love

“Does mas feel sick or uncomfortable?” ask Nayya.

Risam shook his head, “How can I feel sick and uncomfortable if my wife is here to accompany me. I won't feel pain and discomfort as long as you're here with me.” Risam.

Nayya who heard her husband's words finally could not hold back her tears and immediately embraced her husband, “Why ask Diaz to hide it from me. I'm your wife who deserves to know how you are. I'd feel so guilty if I found out this was too late. Please don't hide anything from me anymore. I love you in good health or in pain. Why worry about me being sad later because of my husband.”

Nayya took off her embrace and looked at her husband, “I admit I will definitely be sad but we can find a solution together right. We can do our best to heal you. I love you mas.” Nayya.

“Sorry darling. I want to tell you, but later. But it seems you're in the hunt to know. Mas promise will not repeat it again.” Risam.

“We will do a follow-up check. We have to work out what we can do. Even though we know the final decision remains in God's hands. But at least we've tried. Don't reject it. I talked about this with Diaz. He will schedule your checkup as soon as.” Nayya.

Risam nodded and brought Nayya back into his arms. In his arms his wife was tightly. He will obey whatever is asked by his wife as a form of effort that he did to recover. To finally let it all be a business later. He still wants to be with his wife and children. He who tried to make everything happen but it turns out he was also still afraid to leave his wife and children.

“We work together yes mas. We fight together.” said Nayya whispered.

Risam nodded then took off their embrace and kissed his wife's lips softly. Nayya also returned her husband's kiss was no less soft. Both of them dissolve in a tender kiss.

5 years later.

Time after time passed very quickly.

Now at the airport there is someone who just got off the plane he inhaled the air of the city. The city that almost 7 years ago he left to seek knowledge. The city he missed so much. A city that holds memories for him.

He immediately stepped out of the airport and smiled seeing his two younger siblings who came to greet him, “You came?” ask Afnan. Well, that man is Afnan.

“Of course we have to come brother. We missed you. Bad brother even at our wedding you still did not come at all.” Spoiled Ivana.

Afnan also smiled and hugged his two sisters, “Kak, mami really miss you.” Efnan.

“I miss him too.” Reply Afnan.

“Yes let's go home. Meet your nieces and nephews, brother.” Ivana.

Afnan nodded, “Alright my beautiful sister. I'll meet my niece.” Said Afnan holding his sister to the car while Efnan he was carrying her suitcase.

“How's it going?” afnan asked his sisters when they were in the car on the way home.

Efnan and Ivana looked at each other, “Kak, have you not forgotten?” ask Ivana carefully.

Afnan laughed, “Forget it? I've tried but it can't.” Afnan said hissing. Really he has tried to forget the figure of Nayya but still can not. He who has promised himself will only return to this city after later forgetting Nayya but it turns out he has to renege on his own promise. The proof was that he had returned to this city and still carried that feeling in his heart.

“Sister, she is already happy with her husband and three children. Don't you think about your own happiness. You deserve to be happy too, sister.” Efnan.

“I know. But I haven't thought about it. I've made peace with myself. But my feelings for her are hard for me to forget. So don't force me to forget. Leave that feeling in my heart. I won't bother him or disturb his little family. I wouldn't try to commit suicide like I did. I've had a different deck. So you guys don't worry. I'm fine.” said Afnan.

Efnan and Ivana were silent. They did not know what to say to their brother, the most important thing for now was that their brother had become a better one.

At the residence Nayya and Risam are now new triplets two days ago the sixth anniversary of that year. Now it's being spoiled with their father and mother.

“Daddy, see what Xavier made.” Xavier said bringing the picture.

Risam also saw the work of his youngest son, “Good!” Risam.

“Dad, try to see have a brother.” Xander's words bring what he's made.

“Wah, cool.” Praise Risam for his second son.

“Have a better sister well. Try view.” Qalessa's words led her to Risam.

Risam accepted it and smiled with the work of his daughter, “Good son. Cool.” Risam praised his daughter.

“You are all cool and great, son.” said Nayya from the kitchen and brought snacks for her husband and children.

Triplets nodded, “Mother is right. We are great in our respective fields.” Qalessa.

“It's a snack for you guys. Ohiya after doing schoolwork. Don't forget to teach yaa.” Said Nayya softly who nodded at the three with a smile.

“Mas, they are well developed right.” Nayya.

Risam nodded, “Well, they are growing well. They're great because they have a great mother like you, baby. They can do anything because there is you beside them.” said Risam never did not praise his wife.

“Mas redundant. They grew up well because of us. We educate them to be good and obedient children. For my daughter, she's like me. He always felt responsible for his two younger siblings when they were only a few minutes apart. But still he did what a big brother had to do. Pity my daughter.” said Nayya.

“But his two younger siblings also according to him dear. Xander and Xavier also love him very much and protect them. We're terrific. But you are better because when I am sick you educate them very well.” said Risam.

“Don't say that again mas. I'm glad we're still given time to be together again. We'll both see triplets find their soul mate later.” Nayya.

Risam smiled and nodded, “Aamiin.” Risam.

“May God still give me time during that dear.” Inner Risam then kissed his wife's forehead. The wife who fought for her recovery.

Two years he had to go back and forth to the hospital and home. Two years he had to control and do this treatment. Nayya always went with him. Never leave it alone. What a devoted wife to her husband. She was lucky as Nayya's husband.

Nayya in addition to having to keep it also still keep an eye on the triplets that were growing and needed more attention from him. Nayya is able to manage her schedule well so that the triplets keep growing and developing as well as they are today into smart children. At the age of 4 years can read the Qur'an’an smoothly and directly khatam. They are currently memorizing 10 juz each.

At the residence of Risam and Nayya also they did the first sahur together. Their Risam family stayed there for sahur together while for their own Nayya sisters they gathered at the residence of Mama Fara and also papa Imran.

Rayya and Ariq already have two daughters. Rayya gave birth to her daughter three years ago who was named Edrea Syahrena Al Ayaan as the daughter of Risam and Nayya who took the surname Nayya. Rayya and Ariq's daughter are the same.

Zayya and Diaz have two sons and two daughters. The first daughter was born 4 years ago named Queensha Valenria Al Ayaan and her second son was born three years ago almost the same as Rayya and Ariq's daughter was named Kingsley Virendra Malik.

They all gathered at the residence of Mama Fara and papa Imran and later it was time for their sahur to be together.

Long story short, now does not feel fasting has been the fifth day and today coincides with the schedule of breaking the fast Risam and Nayya. Well, in their village there will be an iftar schedule at the mosque together and now it is Risam and Nayya's turn.

The food and cake that was prepared for the iftar was all ready. Now in the mosque after Ashar many waiting for the breaking time. Nayya and Risam were there with other families and there were also neighbors and people who would break their fast there.

“Mother!” call triplets together.

Nayya soon approached the three of her children who called her, “What's the matter? Is she hungry? Already want to break the fast?” asked soft Nayya who was immediately answered with a headband.

“What's going on, baby? What do you need?” ask Nayya.

“That's bun!” show Qalessa.

Nayya also saw the direction her daughter pointed and she smiled, “Mau there?” tanya Nayya who was immediately nodded by the three again.

“Ya is there.” Nayya said then her three hearts immediately approached the person who had called them since.

“Nayya, they are very funny.” Rana's mother looked at Nayya's three children.

“They are actually hard to get along with people.” Nayya.

“Honey, you guys are here first. Mommy's going there for a second. Don't be naughty here.” Said Nayya who was back in her third nod.

Nayya also immediately busied herself with the preparation of breaking the fast. While on the side of the triplets, “Almost they become your grandchildren if your son is married to him.” said someone sitting at the side of Rana's mami.

“Iya yes. Then you have three grandchildren at once.” The other timpal.

“Ohiya I heard Afnan has come home. Where is he? How not to look.” Ask the others.

“You are at home. He will be here later.” Answer mami Rana.

“Ohiya when will she get married? Efnan and Ivana have children since your eldest son is not married?” say another.

“Not met his soul mate. Just pray that as soon as possible he meets his soul mate.” said Mami Rana.

After that Rana's mom was busy with triplets that she brought to read the Qur’an. He knew that the three of Nayya's children were good at reading Ak-Qur’an and now the triplets were also teaching.

After the triplets finished teaching Risam arrived and the three soon approached Risam, “Dad!” call 'em.

Risam smiled and hugged his three children, “Which mother?” ask Risam.

“Tuh!” point Xavier at Nayya who is walking towards them.

“What is less?” ask Risam.

Nayya shook her head, “Everything is right. There are still many.” Answer Nayya. Risam nodded too.

The time for non-fasting is still about half an hour away and Afnan arrived at the mosque with one of his friends. He immediately went in and saw Nayya and Risam who were sitting together with being accompanied by his three children. Afnan smiled seeing that.

Afnan and his friend immediately looked for a seat, “Are you jealous?” ask her friend call her A.

Afnan looked at his friend and smiled, “What am I supposed to be jealous of. Seeing her happy even I was happy.” Afnan.

Her friend just nodded, “What if you were given the chance to be her husband? Are you gonna miss it?” ask the A.

“What kind of question is that? Did you swear her husband died. How heart you.” Afnan said annoyed.

“Quiet bro. I'm just saying if given a chance. I didn't swear on her husband to die. Just--”

“Have stopped. Don't talk anymore. I'll assume you never said that.” cut Afnan.

“Hi Nayya!” sapa Afnan approached Nayya and her husband.

“Hey!” reply Nayya.

“How are you doing Afnan?” risam.

“Good. As you can see.” Reply Afnan.

“Sgratitude.” Nayya.

“Hey triplets!” sapa Afnan looked at Nayya and Risam's three children who were very beautiful and handsome in their Muslim clothes.

“Hai uncle.” Xavier the friendliest. Unlike Xander and Qalessa which tend to be cold and flat.

“Can I play with them?” afnan's permission looked at Risam and Nayya.

Risam also nodded as well as Nayya, “Ayo triplets come with uncle.” Bring Afnan. The triplets also.

Afnan also played with the triplets. They are quickly familiar especially with Xavier, “Nan, if you are the one who married him then maybe they are your son.” Said Afnan's friend. Afnan smiled and continued to play with the triplets.
