Dusk At the End Please

Extra Part 23: Happy Days

Akhtar stared at the beautiful sight of the blind morning he thought. Her tears were unable to be dammed, flowing down her cheeks with her lips still clenched.

Iandang adzan early has been used to be an alarm for him to open his eyes from a long enough sound. A gentle hand rub full of tenderness almost made him fall asleep. His consciousness was increasingly present as he remembered his current existence.

Realizing his hand no longer grasping touch made the head that lay comfortably was looking up at the figure who was rubbing his head full of softness.

A single smile rose on the pale face of his halal woman at this time Akhtar's consciousness had returned completely. Seeing that smile growing, the hand that rubbed his head was now stretched out before him.

Akhtar was increasingly convinced that if this was real he was not dreaming, he grabbed the hand that still looked weak. He kissed deeply and repeatedly. Tears kept streaming down her cheeks, her tongue as if she was a mute she was still unable to speak.

For a moment Akhtar stopped kissing his wife's hand, he got up from his seat and grabbed the body of his precious woman who still looked weak.

"Thank you God, thank you. Thank you for waking up, thank you for coming back, thank you.." in the end that sentence came out of Akhtar's mouth in a row. There was no proper word right now for him to say but thanksgiving for the return of his wife.

Akhtar hugged and showered Shanum's face with a kiss that no one missed, he continued to whisper words of gratitude on the sidelines of his crying that was still difficult to stop.

"Aa, I'm stuffy" said Shanum Lirih amid the activity of her husband who kissed her face with his body held very tightly, she said,

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry. Where does it hurt, heum? Akhtar took off his crib, he scanned Shanum's body carefully, making sure that it didn't hurt his beloved wife,

"Ah I forgot I should have called the doctor immediately to check on you" said Akhtar again, he looked really nervous.

"A moment A" Shanum held down Akhtar's arm that was about to turn to call the doctor,

"Why baby?" tanya Akhtar paused his intention, saying,

"I'm fine A, now I just want to hug Aa, I miss. We wait for dawn first, just call the doctor" said Shanum Lirih, with a blushing face he expressed his desire. For her husband's embrace is the most potent medicine to recharge her energy.

"Darling...." Akhtar again made haru, he also grabbed Shanum's body and leaned the body of the wife on his chest. Akhtar sat beside Shanum.

"Aa, it seems uncomfortable like this" Shanum said honestly,

"Huh, how is it baby. How comfortable are you?" Akhtar unraveled his embrace, he looked at the wife fixedly, the look in his eyes implying a novelty and happiness mixed into one, one,

"Aa go up to the bed, let my body rest on Aa's chest" Shanum's pinta still softly pointed out that she was still so weak after three days of being declared in a coma,

"Okay baby, I will" Akhtar climbed into a bed that was enough for two people, a bed that was reserved for his wife was taken care of. Akhtar slowly shifted the wife's body forward and leaned against her chest. He hugged Shanum from behind, his hands perfectly coiled in the wife's stomach which still clearly visible postpartum difference.

The outpouring of love words is undeniable, even incomparable. Akhtar continued to whisper it right in Shanum's ear. Reveals all her love and longing for her woman.

"I love you, I miss you, I don't want to lose you. I no longer want to part with you even if only to pause the day, whatever obstacles and obstacles will be subdued so that always be with you my beloved heart"

"I know if in this world no one really owns each other, we're just cheated on each other. My biggest fear is not losing you, but how I should go through the days after you always accompany me" Akhtar spoke with occasional wiping of his tears,

"Aa, I'm sorry I made Aa anxious. What about our children? last thing I remember I heard the sound of baby cries coming to each other. But after that I really don't remember anything" Shanum began to tell what he experienced a few days ago, the state of emergency requires her to give birth without the company of her husband.

"They're fine, I should be sorry, baby. I should have never left you. I should have always been by your side, had I not been gone none of this would have happened" Akhtar shed tears in memory of what had happened, recalling the time Shanum was kidnapped, he must have been frightened, in pain but he was helpless, unable to do anything about it. Akhtar felt very guilty.

"Thank God, congratulations A, God finally gave a noble trust to Aa by becoming a father. Thank you for being with me to this day. Aa is not only a companion, but the greatest fighter jiga and Aa is a winner. I am proud of you, may my every shortcoming be a field of reward for you and my advantages be your source of happiness" Shanum replied with great joy,

"Thank you, I am so grateful to be your priest, with you always keeping you calm and distance from you always makes me miss.Stay beside me, Shanum Najua Azzahra. Follow me to his heaven"

In the morning, the sun began to warm the universe. People are getting busy with their routines. The news is that Shanum has reached his extended family.

Ms. Hana and Mr. Imran immediately rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from Akhtar that her eldest daughter was conscious. Likewise with Ms. Fatimah, she invited her nephew who was on vacation to take her to the hospital

Mr. Furqan was no less happy when he received the news, Ghifar who is still in Garut has always been loyal to Akhtar since they returned from Malaysia conveying this happy news through whatsapp messages to him.

Everyone rejoiced, after going through a series of examinations Shanum was declared fine. All of her vital organs are functioning properly, right now what Shanum needs is a break for postpartum recovery.

The beautiful scenery in front of him made Akhtar's heart warm again, happiness really enveloped his heart. He saw Shanum leaning on the head of the patient's bed flanked by two tiny babies who were also getting healthier.

Akhtar deliberately asked the nurse to move the two babies to be treated one room with the wife. All the medical equipment in Shanum's body had been removed, only the infusion hose still had to be attached to his left hand.

"Son, have you prepared a name for both of them?" Fatimah, who was in Shanum's room, asked, Everyone seemed curious about the answer Akhtar would give. What name will Akhtar give to his twins,

"Not yet Ma" Akhtar turned to Shanum, he rubbed the head of the baby girl who was currently in the lap of the wife, while the baby boy was a hen in his nap beside the mother.

"How dear, do you have a name for them?" Akhtar asked Shanum, though,

"As for Aa only" Shanum replied as he threw a smile that Akhtar greeted with a sweet smile that was always soothing for Shanum.

☘️

Ten days after Shanum regained consciousness from his coma, doctors finally allowed Shanum and her twins to go home.

Ms. Hana asks Akhtar for permission to take Shanum home, she wants to help take care of Shanum and her baby until Shanum is fully recovered and can care for her own two babies.

Bu Hana's request was of course welcomed by Akhtar who first discussed it with Shanum. They finally agreed to go home to Shanum's parents. Akhtar thought it would be quieter if they were close to their parents at a time like this.

Ms. Fatimah was no less enthusiastic, she agreed because indeed the distance of her house with the house of Bu Hana was closer than the house of Akhtar and Shanum. She also wants to help Shanum take care of her children.

The event of aqiqah of two twins was held quite lively although a little late because of the circumstances but did not reduce the essence of the aqiqah sharia itself. As an expression of gratitude Akhtar and Shanum gave thanks by inviting all family members, friends and neighbors.

Three goats were slaughtered as one of the shari'a recommended in the aqiqah, two for boys and one for girls. In addition, shaving their hair and naming their two children was officially done on the same day.

Muhammad Izzudin Kamil and Khadijah Izzati Kamila are the names Akhtar gave to his two children, it has a deep meaning and becomes hope and do'a in the future their two children become noble people with full glory as the glory of Prophet Muhammad SAW and Siti Khadijah.

The strands of do'a from the guests who came spoke for their two children, everyone seemed happy. The couple who finally found happiness after the great storm they went through did not stop to spread a smile when all the guests gradually came and greeted them, before the core event began.

"I'm happy to still be here, Neng" Liani who came a few days ago to Garut also expressed his happiness can also feel the joy of his best friend's small family.

His departure abroad to continue his studies was delayed by two weeks as there were some technical matters still in progress. Liani is grateful behind the delay schedule it turns out she can still accompany her best friend on this happy day.

"Thank you Li, you've been my best friend to date. I pray that happiness will always be with you" Shanum replied, they hugged each other when the guests were gone.

The core event also began, after a religious figure around giving a speech as the opening of the event, he invited Ustadz who was specially invited to be a speaker at this aqiqah event to convey his tausiyah and advice.
