Certainty of Love

57

Risam immediately came out as soon as he finished talking to Afnan who had also started eating his already cold porridge. Risam immediately approached the wife who was sitting with the two parents Afnan. Risam immediately sat beside the empty wife.

“Thank you for coming here son. Sorry to bother you these nights.” Mami Rana.

Risam and Nayya also smiled, “Gak is okay mih.” Nayya's words were nodded by Risam.

“We are very grateful son. We know what we're doing is inappropriate because it bothers you. But we don't know who else to call. Mami only has your number and you're the only one who's thought of calling.” Mami Rana said honestly.

Nayya smiled, “Nothing mih. Nayya is being able to help even though Nayya is not denied that Nayya also feels awkward with this condition.” said Nayya.

“Tante, om you guys don't think too much about anything. We don't have a problem. Nayya is a nurse who does have a duty to help someone who again needs help. Don't you feel so guilty. In Shaa Allah Afnan will be fine and hopefully he soon finds a better girl than my wife who he can love more than his love for my wife.” said Risam clasped his wife's hand tightly.

“Thank you son for the prayer. We also pray that your household will be fine.” said papi Riyad. Nayya and Risam smiled and nodded.

After that, Nayya and Risam went home, but Nayya made sure first that Afnan's condition was not as pale as before and his body temperature had started to return to normal. Nayya checked Afnan professionally without involving feelings in it.

Afnan could only look at the girl with a mixed look. She is determined to continue her life while keeping her love for Nayya in her heart. Let time heal her pain but she will keep her love for Nayya at the bottom of her heart. She will love Nayya for her husband but she will keep her love for Nayya in the bottom of her heart. He will continue his life with love for Nayya in his heart.

Nayya and Risam decide to return to Nayya's parents' house instead of the shophouse because Nayya's parents' house is closer than Afnan's.

Nayya immediately said hello as soon as she reached her parents' house and thankfully Mama Fara and papa Imran had not slept. Both are still watching soap opera, “Eehh why are you here?” mama asked Fara surprised to see the daughter and daughter-in-law.

Nayya and Risam just smiled then immediately greeted mama Fara and papa Imran who did open the door for both, “Nak, where are you from these nights?” asked mama Fara curious. It was ten o'clock in the night after a few minutes.

“We are new from Rana Mah.” mami house replied Nayya sitting her body on the sofa in the family room. Nayya immediately snatched the pea skin on the table and also the bananas available there.

“Whose house was it? Rana's? You mean Rana and Riyad?” ask Papa Imran.

Nayya nodded, “Ngapain y'all there?” asked mama Fara curious.

“Sick? Why pain?” ask Mama Fara again.

“Mah, Nayya wants to sleep. Tomorrow is the story of Nayya. Let's go to the room. We continue our delayed activities earlier.” Take Nayya immediately take the husband to his room at his parents' house.

Risam could only follow his wife even though he was talking to her in-laws, “Mah, let it go. Our daughter and daughter-in-law are grown up. They know what is best for their home. But I'm sure our daughter already loves Risam. Let it go.” said Imran papa who can guess that Mama Fara is very curious about what happened with Afnan. The man who was almost their son-in-law.

Mama Fara could only sigh and agree to what her husband said while praying that there would be no problems with the eldest daughter's household.

While in the room Nayya immediately headed to the bathroom to clean up before going to bed. Risam followed his wife immediately.

“Honey, why not answer mama's question?” asked Risam softly as the two of them were now lying on the bed.

“Nayya does not want to answer the question mama mas. It's just that it's late and the mama won't be satisfied if the answer we give is short. He will demand a long explanation and for sure it will take time. So tomorrow we'll tell my mom. I feel wrong with my attitude?” ask Nayya.

Risam shook his head, “Not so dear. I just don't want you to ignore your parents. It is true that you no longer have the obligation to serve them but still you are their daughter who certainly still must respect them. Mas just do not want to be considered a daughter-in-law who snatch their daughter's affection for them.” said Risam.

Nayya smiled, “Sorry if what I did was wrong. I don't know why I'm in such a bad mood. Ii'm sorry. Thank you for reprimanding me. I'll apologize to mom and dad later.” Nayya.

Risam also smiled, “You are not wrong dear. Reminding you has become an obligation. He did not want his wife to sin against her parents. I love you so much, baby. I want to be with you on earth and in heaven. Mas want you to always be his bidadari mas.” Said Risam and then kissed the wife's forehead.

“I am the same. I want you to be my husband in the world and in the hereafter.” Reply Nayya.

“Honey, what if the mas go first leave you?” ask Risam.

Nayya who heard the question asked her husband was looking at her husband with annoyance, “Mas why the heck talk rich. I don't want to. Anyway we have to live until the grandparents later. Seeing our grandchildren grow up together. I can't imagine what my life would be like without you. So don't ever say anything like that again. I don't like.” Nayya.

“Sorry darling. I just asked. We don't even know our destiny. We do not know until when our age limit in this world.” said Risam hugged his wife tightly.

“Ish anyway I do not want to split with you mas. Point of absence comma. If you go I'll come with you.” Nayya.
