Certainty of Love

“Have I met him before? A year ago?”

Rayya struggled with her memory until not realizing that they had finished praying, “What do you think of the deck. Why bengong.” Nayya patted her sister on the shoulder.

Rayya soon realized from her daydream and looked at Nayya smiling, “No sister. I didn't think of anything.” Rayya said while shaking her head.

Nayya nodded, “Ya already if so go you to papa and mama's car. Thank you for keeping triplets.” Nayya.

Rayya smiled then nodded, “I'm happy to keep them. They are very funny.” Rayya said then immediately headed for her parents' car.

Ariq asked for permission to go to his house first and later will follow into the studio. They also agreed and the three cars immediately drove with two cars drove to the photo studio and Ariq's car drove to his home.

Not long after they arrived at the photo studio and went straight in because Jay had been waiting as well. Jay was enjoying his lunch. The studio belongs to Jay. He founded it and for the photographer was himself and his two friends.

Rayya and Zayya they were in the dressing room to re-improve their makeup to keep looking perfect during the photo shoot. Not to capture the moment we must look beautiful. That's what the women did.

Half an hour later Ariq arrived with a woman five years older than Mama Fara. Ariq and the woman greeted me kindly and was responded by Mama Fara and papa Imran with a friendly welcome.

“Emm, introduce this is my mother.” Ariq said respectfully.

Mama Fara and papa Imran nodded, “I am Fara and this is my husband Imran.” Mama Fara said introduce herself and greet the mother of Ariq.

“I Aini. Mother of Ariq. I heard today he proposed to your daughter and was accepted. Thank you for receiving my son's goodwill to your daughter.” said Ms. Aini.

“Thank you back. Actually we were also surprised at what the mother's son did today. But we must admit that he is a real man for proposing to our daughter in front of many people and also in front of us without any nervousness and fear. Your son is great. You're lucky to have it.” Reply mama Fara.

“Ahh you are overdoing it. He became what he is today because of his own efforts. My mother was just as supportive as I could be. Honestly he is my only son.” Say mother Aini.

Nayya, Rayya and Zayya who were in the dressing room and had finished finishing their makeup were wondering what was outside, “So who was it?” ask Zayya.

Nayya shook her head, “Kakak doesn't know either. Let sister see.” Nayya immediately stood up from her seat and came out to see what was happening outside.

“Mas, who?” nayya asked softly while pointing at a woman who spoke to her mother with her eyes.

“Had Ariq.” Answer Risam briefly. Nayya also nodded in understanding.

Then after that, Nayya also approached her mother who is now talking to her mother Ariq, “Ohiya Aini's mother introduced our eldest daughter, Nayya.” Mama Fara said introducing Nayya when she realized the arrival of her daughter.

Nayya nodded and greeted Ariq's mother respectfully. Aini's mother smiled, “What is this-”

“Not bu. That's my second sister.” Nayya replied quickly as if she could guess what Aini's mother said.

Aini's mother laughed, “Sorry son. I think you're the girl that mom's son talked about. Son, can I meet your sister?” permission of Aini's mother.

Nayya also looked at her mother at a glance then she nodded, “I will call her.” Nayya said then immediately entered the dressing room.

“Who's sister?” asked Rayya curiously.

Nayya just smiled and fixed her sister's makeup, “Kak, what's wrong? Who'sis that? Why is sister checking back on my makeup? Is something wrong?” ask Rayya streak.

Nayya smiled again, “Of course you have to fix your makeup that deck because what you will meet is your future in-laws. Ariq came to take her mother. Let's go meet. Your future mother-in-law wants to meet you.” Nayya.

Rayya was speechless, “So you're not happy kidding, are you? Ma-mana maybe Ariq's brother brought his mother here. I-I'm not ready to see my brother. What if Ariq's mother doesn't like me?” Rayya said nervously.

“Quiet deck. Don't be so nervous. Just chill. It's just a normal introduction. So control your nervousness it.” said Nayya.

“But brother? It's impromptu. Why is he so. Today's application is just impromptu and this-”

“Sucks!” said Rayya.

Nayya and Zayya smiled, “Simmer brother Rayya. Everything must have been a fate line. You have to meet your future mother-in-law. It's not good to keep parents waiting. I'm sure you can.” Zayya.

Rayya also took a breath in trying to control her nervousness then after that she stood up, “Come brother!” said Rayya.

Nayya nodded then she immediately clasped her second sister's fingers out to meet Aini's mother who was waiting, “Kak, I was nervous!” said Rayya lirih. Nayya smiled and pressed her hand against her sister.

Aini's mother smiled as she looked at Nayya and Rayya who came out, “Mother Aini introduced this to my second sister, Rayya!” nayya said introducing her sister.

Just like Nayya did, Rayya immediately greeted Aini's mother's hand with respect. Aini's mother smiled and then brought Rayya in her arms, “You are so beautiful son! It's worth Ariq liking you and it's always a story about you.” Say mother Aini.

“Bu, don't expose my secret. At least give me a face in front of my future in-laws.” Ariq. It brought laughter to the room.

“Come sit down son!” take Aini's mother to take Rayya to sit down. Nayya approached her husband and hugged him from the side. Risam also replied. Rayya talked to Aini's mother. They are quickly familiar because Aini's mother who immediately likes Rayya and Rayya is also smart to talk so that communication between them runs smoothly.

Not long after that, the photo session began. The photo session began with Rayya and Zayya taking pictures on their own. Then family photos and also photos of Rayya and Ariq as well as Nayya and Risam who took photo sessions for their small family.

Finally after taking approximately 90 minutes finally the photo session was completed and now proceed with sorting the photo and also copying the photo.

“Ahh so they're twins nak?” asked Aini's mother to look at the three children of Nayya who fell asleep after waking up during the photo shoot. Well, like the photo shoot earlier on campus they wake up also well it happened again when taking photos in the studio. They are very smart as if they know that they should not miss a moment and they do not want to be photographed in a state of sleep. Then after finishing taking photos they fell asleep again after breastfeeding from the pacifier.

Nayya nodded, “Alhamdulillah bu.” Answer Nayya.

Nayya shook her head, “Alhamdulillah ma'am I did not join the program. Initially in USG only twins but at birth turned out to be three. Indeed, the destiny of God is great even a sophisticated tool can not detect it.” Nayya.

Aini's mother nodded, “You're right son. They are very adorable.” Say Mother Aini.

Nayya smiled and looked at her husband who went to see Jay to make payment for the photo service today.

Ariq who saw that he also immediately approached Risam, “Sister-in-law!” ariq.

Risam turned his head and smiled at the young police officer who had changed clothes wearing batik, “Iya!” reply Risam.

“We haven't officially met before. Introduce me Ariq!” ariq stretched out her hand.

“Risam!” Said Risam returned Ariq's hand.

“How should I call you?” ask Ariq.

“Call it as convenient as you komdan.” Answer Risam.

Ariq nodded, “Alright if so. Even if I am not officially married to Rayya but sooner or later we will become a family then I will call me brother-in-law and for you sis just call me Ariq. Don't call me that. I feel inappropriate. The title we have will only have for life we will not take it to death. So why brag about it. We are the same.” said Ariq sage.

Risam smiled and patted Ariq on the shoulder, “Alright I will not hesitate to call you so.” Risam.

Ariq nodded and smiled, “Are you going to pay?” ask Ariq carefully.

Risam nodded, “Can I help pay. Sorry brother-in-law I didn't mean to. Please do not be offended. I'm just-” said Ariq lowered his head.

Risam smiled, “Let's relax. I'm not gonna take this seriously. I know what you mean. You mean well. But I can't let you because this is already my responsibility as the eldest son-in-law. Rayya and Zayya are not only my sister-in-law but I already consider them as my own sister. So let me pay for today as a big brother.” Risam.

Ariq nodded in understanding, “Alright sister-in-law. I understand!” Ariq.

Risam smiled and then he immediately met Jay and made payment for the photo shoot today. He soon returned from Jay's room and the two men immediately went to the locker room where the others were gathered.

Nayya looked at her husband who entered with Ariq with a smile. Risam immediately approached his wife and the two stared at each other as if their eyes were talking.

“Emm, it looks like it already wants ashar. We better go home first.” Nayya.

“Yeah, you're right. We seem to have to go home because there are quite a lot of activities that we do today.” said Papa Imran.

They immediately prepared to go home and did not forget to say goodbye to Jay. They also do not forget to say a lot of thanks to Jay for today because Jay already wants them to bother.

Now they are already in the car, “Rayya, do you and Ariq have another show?” ask Nayya to her sister.

Rayya was silent and looked at Ariq, “We have not had an event for today sis. Today is quite tiring.” Ariq.

Nayya nodded, “Alright if that is the case.” Nayya said then she immediately got into their car. Rayya and Ariq say goodbye to each other before Rayya gets into the car. Not long after that the three cars immediately drove away from Jay's photo studio to their respective goals of returning home.

“Mas!” call Nayya.

Risam also looked at the glimpse to his wife, “What's the matter dear? Do you need anything?” ask Risam softly.

Nayya shook her head, “I don't need anything. I just wanted to ask, are you good?” ask Nayya back.

Risam smiled at the question his wife asked. He knew what was behind his wife's question.

“Take it easy, baby. I'm really good. You don't think too much.” Risam.

Nayya nodded, “Alright if so. Remember, I'm always there for you. I accept you whatever you are. You're the best husband I've got. I'm a lucky woman to have a husband like you.” Nayya.

Risam smiled again, “Calm down baby. I'm doing fine. You are too far-sighted. I know why you're asking this. But can I know your reason so think so?” Risam.

“You are so quiet. I don't like you feeling low.” Nayya.

Risam smiled again, “Honey, you are far-sighted. I was silent because I couldn't possibly interfere in your sister's affairs. That's not my domain, baby. Not that I feel low or offended.” Risam.

Nayya also nodded back to understand, “I hope it is so mas. I trust you.” Nayya.

Risam smiled at the words of his wife. Nayya is the person who is most sensitive to the feelings of others. Well, to be honest Risam felt a little inferior earlier but after he thought for what reason feel inferior if his wife and his wife's family no one humbled him. Why rank and title become the benchmark while we are the same in the eyes of God.

Now they have arrived at their homes. Risam immediately helped Nayya to move the three children into the house.

“Finally we arrived too! Are you tired, boy?” risam said to the three of his children who were awake when they were transferred from the car to the room.

Nayya smiled to see her husband who asked to talk to her three children. Risam is a husband and father figure of dreams for him. Nayya could not imagine if she lived without her husband.

Risam was not the first man to fill the space of his heart but Risamlah was the man who now filled the entire space in his heart so he had no more room to keep another man in his heart.
