Devotion of Love

A Warm Family

"Hanna's still sleeping!" Agam asked, Hafidz nodded slowly.

"Let it go, maybe Hanna's exhausted. Mom saw Hanna's legs swell. Her delivery day is approaching. That's what makes Hanna so tired!" Tika, Hafidz was shocked. Both eyes widened, when he heard Hanna's true condition.

"Hanna!" Shouted Hafidz, about to run towards Hanna's room. Hafidz intends to see Hanna's condition. But his steps were stopped by a heavy hand.

"Sir Arkan!" Hafidz said, Arkan nodded while putting on a big smile.

"Why did my brother stop me?"

"Let Hanna rest, she's fine. What happened to Hanna? Experiencing all mothers, including your mother when pregnant with you. Sit down with us, calm yourself first. When you calm down, meet Hanna without any anxiety or pity. Hanna is so much better, seeing you're okay!" Arkan said, then pulled Hafidz's hand towards the living room sofa.

Arkan demanded Hafidz sit right next to him. Face to face with Agam and Tika. Hafidz's anxiety was obvious, the worry when he heard Hanna's condition was not okay. Arkan stared at the Hafidz nanar. Hafidz's anxiety is true. Hanna is not someone else, in her womb grew the son of their love. So it was fitting that Hafidz was anxious, afraid that something might happen to Hanna.

Hafidz looked down silently, his hands clasping perfectly. Evidence of anxiety that can no longer be calmed. Hafidz's cold sweat dripped from his temple. Tika sees great love Hafidz. The sense that made Hanna endure endured all the wounds. Everyone was silent, no sound was heard. Hafidz's hunting breath, echoed throughout the room. The voice was so soft, as if it sounded so loud. When the heart and mind are overwhelmed with anxiety about the most loved person.

"Mama feels the anxiety of your heart, but trust me everything is fine. Hanna's current condition is very common in pregnant women. Mama is sure Hanna knows her condition. Hanna may be hard on her, but she won't be able to sacrifice her son!"

"Why did Hanna keep her own pain? Or am I as a husband? Until I never realized Hanna's condition!" Hafidz said, Arkan patted Hafidz on the shoulder slowly. Arkan shook his head.

"It's not your fault or Hanna's. Circumstances that make you have to be patient. Hanna is firm and hard. Not to see you helpless. Hanna did all this, to keep things calm. Hanna was happy to see you smile. Your anxiety will only make Hanna weak!"

"Sir Arkan!" Hafidz did not understand, Arkan winked softly. Agam and Tika nodded, agreeing with Arkan's words.

"Hanna is weak when she sees you as weak, she will be strong as long as you are happy. Hanna never complained. Once he complained to us. When Hanna saw you worried and anxious about Salma's opinion of her!"

"Why should we be angry? The right of every mother to fear the loss of her son's affection. Tears and sweat drops of a mother during pregnancy and childbirth. Forever can never be redeemed by the treasure or affection of his son. The pain felt by your mother, you will not be able to bear. Let today Hanna feel that pain. Drops the same tears and sweat as your bundle. In order for my daughter Hanna to understand why Salma behaved like that!" Tika said softly and warmly, Hafidz looked down deeper and deeper.

"I'm sorry for the pain Hanna felt. It's not worth Hanna feeling all this. The happiness I promised Hanna, I can no longer keep. The sincere love I offered your daughter. Tarnished by the selfishness of the mother who gives birth. Fear for no reason, made you think Hanna would take her place in my life!" Hafidz said, full of regrets.

"You don't have to apologize, there's nothing wrong or right at the moment. What does Hanna feel? Never made us regret giving it to you. With you Hanna's growing up, she's learning to understand other people's wounds. Hanna my daughter is no longer the same, she's happy with you. Your love makes her understand the meaning of love. My daughter is warm and full of love!" Agam firmly said, Arkan nodded without hesitation.

Tika smiled behind her veil. The words that Agam says. Making Tika's heart tremble, she saw Agam's sincere affection for Hanna. Not to increase or impose the will. Protecting without interfering. Like his parents, he always believed in Tika's decision. Sure if one day his little daughter will be happy with her little family.

"How low am I, how great is this family. Everything Hanna felt, would not be easily understood by other families. They'll judge right away, maybe even keep Hanna away from me. Instead this family always supported me next to Hanna. Without seeing the princess pain caused by my family!"

"Hafidz, your presence is like the light in Hanna's life. You made Hanna's days colorful. It's true Hanna we hurt, but we can't deny it. You're the man who made our Hanna happy. Be strong for Hanna's sake, don't be weak just from seeing Hanna's wounds. Your wife is not a woman without a heart, so you can separate mother from her son. But my daughter is not a brave woman, she needs your strength to lean on!"

"Papa, I'm sorry!" Hafidz said, Agam shook his head weakly.

"I'm not saying all this to hear your apologies or see your guilt. I want to see Hafidz my son-in-law strong and always believe in the love of my daughter Hanna. If we're sure Hanna is happy with you, then why are you pessimistic about the happiness of your marriage?" Agam sage.

"Your meeting with Hanna wasn't without reason. Your marriage is not just a relationship in people's view. You two are united in halal ties. All of His will. So believe that Allah SWT unites you, for you are there to complement each other!" Arkan said firmly, Hafidz kept silent and nodded slowly.

"O Lord, what good have I done? Until You meet me with this kind and wise family. Perfect is never there. But this family looks perfect in my view and in my mind. How lucky I am to know and be a part of their family. My fault never made them angry, it made me feel their sincere affection. I'm the son-in-law of this family, but I'm like their real son. Oh God, if I could ask. Let me continue to be part of this family. Don't keep me away from your most beautiful favors, aaamiin!" Inner Hafidz in his reverie.

"Thank you brother Arkan always supported me. I won't promise, but I will try to make Hanna happy. She's my happy reason, the mother of my children!" Hafidz said firmly, Arkan nodded while patting Hafidz's shoulder slowly.

"I'll leave the happiness of our little princess to you!" Sahut Arkan loud, greeted head nods and laughter from Agam and Tika.
