Finding My Lost Heart

Chapter 55. Explanation of Amira

"Mas, I. I want to apologize." Raka saw Amira.

"We'd better go home. It's almost magrib. Tomorrow we'll be back in town. I need to get back as soon as I remember the semester exam is getting closer." Raka smiled and rubbed his wife's head.

Amira really feels guilty. "Mas, don't you want to hear me?"

"Honey, we should calm our minds first. I don't want to talk about it right now." Raka asks Amira not to discuss their problems first.

Arriving at the villa, Raka and Amira hear Mother Hanum busy in the kitchen. Amira heads to the kitchen and sees Aunt Sumi and Mother Hanum busy there. I don't know where Mr. Subari is. Amira has not dared to look directly at Mr. Subari.

"Miss Amira...." Aunt Sumi sees Amira still the same as before.

Hanum's mother turned and looked at Amira. "What's the lady cooking?"

"I'm cooking chicken soup for Inayah. Maybe with this he would eat. During the hospital, Inayah rarely ate. Just eat fruit." Hanum's mother looks excited in the kitchen.

Feeling bad, Amira leaves the kitchen and meets Mr. Subari. "Master?" call Amira who looks scared. Looking at the eagle's eyes, it reminded Amira of a historic day that was hard for Amira to forget.

Amira immediately entered her room and again remembered Aditia's request. Meanwhile, Inayah now looks slightly improved compared to the previous day.

Inayah ate the mother-in-law's cooking voraciously. Actually, the food was not able to be swallowed by him. However, Inayah remembered there was a life in her stomach that needed nutrients.

***

In the morning Inayah chose a walk on the beach. He was surprised that someone gave him a jacket. Ianayah.

"Amira?"

"Not good pregnant women walk alone and do not wear a jacket. Fear you will catch a cold" said Amira following Inayah's steps.

Inayah stopped and turned towards Amira. "Thank you."

"Together" replied Amira.

"Do you still have the same feelings as Mas Adit?" ask Inayah suddenly.

Amira does not believe Inayah's question.

"Why silence, brother?" ask Inayah. "I knew. It can't be easy for you to forget your good times together."

"That's not true, Inayah. Aditia and I were almost married" Amira said. "It's Inayah, it's the past." Amira was silent.

"Yesterday, Amira's brother and Raka's sister came from to see him, right?" ask Inayah again.

"You know?"

"Sister Raka told me." Inayah and Amira again continue their steps along the beach in the morning.

As a pregnant woman, Inayah likes to see the beach closer and blown by the wind. Until the hijab is worn waving.

"Why, brother? What do you want to say?" ask Inayah who looks Amira difficult to speak.

"No. I just want to say, if today we're going back to town. Take care of yourself."

"Like energy. I'll be fine here. I will wait for my husband. I believe him."

That sentence seemed to be for him. Amira remained silent. Then, back following Inayah who was taking the rock.

Inayah looked at the rock and reminded herself of Aditia's words saying 'Fate a new piece of coral that can not be knocked down by the obak even though the waves repeatedly hit it.'

"Sir Amira, look at this rock. This rock is an example not to easily waver. I will defend my household even if the storm comes. Whatever happens. Aditia is my husband. All husbands have their flaws and advantages." Inayah walks down the waterfront with Amira still beside her.

Amira smiles. Like a blow to him. Why he is less grateful to have Raka who may have other women want to have a man like Raka, diligent worship, help him in caring for his son, giving him Nafkah. although honestly Raka may not be the seromantic type Aditia.

"Aditia summaries me, maybe not like your husband," Inayah said again.

"If you compare men or husbands to one and another actually will never be the same. So too with women or wives. The one thing I instilled in myself was that, I was grateful for my husband's merits and I had to be patient enough to accept my husband's shortcomings" Inayah continued

"I remember the late Aba saying that it is not easy to play the role of wife. Who does not want to go to God's heaven. All women aspire. The point is to be patient in accepting the shortcomings of each partner." Ianyah shed tears.

And so did Amira. Amira hugged Inayah. "I'm sorry, Inayah. I'm self-conscious. I'm still minimal."

"I'm the same, brother. I am also a woman who still needs guidance. I just said what was on my mind."

Amira let go of her embrace. Then, look at Inayah.

"Dad, actually that day... Adit never...."

"Enough, brother. Don't continue if it hurts you. I already know. I understand your feelings. I've been saying it for a long time, I really understand your condition."

"I'm sorry, Brother Inayah. Don't you think of me as your sister-in-law, but consider me as your sister. Even if we're not blood." Amira shed tears saying that, she had long wanted to tell Inayah.

Inyah came with tears to hear Amira's words. The two veiled women love each other again. Amira explains all about the beginning of her meeting with Aditia to meet with Raka.

From a distance Raka had seen the two women. Raka smiled seeing the two join hands.

"I understand Amira. Since long ago I mehamimu," lirih Raka heard by Ummi Humairah in the strip of Raka.

"I'm proud of you, son. Some husbands should be like that. Have a wise nature. You are the leader in your family and still a wise husband.

Raka smiled when she heard her stepmother say. Raka is very grateful to have Mother Fatimah and Umm Humairah as her Mother.

"Every incident has a silver lining, huh Ummi?" raka told Ummi Humairah.

"Yes. Happy or sad is actually the test.like or sorrow we should be grateful. However, yes, as ordinary humans we already know still do it."

Raka nodded and understood Ummi Humairah's intentions. Seeing the smiles of Inayah and Amira, Raka was quite happy.

"Hopefully our family stays like this, Ummi. I want to see all my women smile?"

"Your lady?" tanya Ummi Humairah misunderstood.

"Yes." answered Raka.

"Raka, do you have another wife?" ask Ummi Humairah.

"What's? Raka has a wife? Does Amira know? Does Amira approve?" ask Mother Fatimah and Mother Hanum behind mother Fatimah brought fried food to enjoy the morning.

"Who has another wife, Mother?tanya Amira and Ianyah also stared intently at Raka.

"Mas, are you betraying me?" tanya Amira looked towards Raka.

"Astaghfirullah's. Why misunderstand. I mean you're my women. I love you guys."

"My wife's neck. Not your woman, Raka," said Mr. Subari embracing the waist of his wife who was suddenly nongol in sports clothes.

I see her family happy. However, there is less.

'Mas, do you miss me too?'

Hanum's mother breaks away from her husband and embraces Inayah. Until their faces smile.
