Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 49

Arka every day dissolved in his busy life, Zahra knew that the arcs' busyness was actually completing the script, indeed Zahra was very understanding. Arka who wants to graduate immediately and return to Indonesia is very serious in the script, which is complicated. Arka did it day and night, so sometimes he fell asleep at his desk, making him so not to sleep with his wife.

Zahra and Arka are married and living together in England, it has been 1 month.

Every day Zahra faithfully waited for her husband to eat together, until he forgot his hunger.

The ulcer disease that Zahra suffered from long ago, which has rarely relapsed, now after marriage he again felt it again.

Nausea, flatulence, and dizziness always attack him at any time. Zahra who wanted to be independent did not bother her husband, always trying to heal herself, without looking sick in front of her husband.

Day after night, Zahra awoke to night prayers, in the third of the night. She realized her husband was not sleeping next to her, Zahra turned to the study table facing the window, saw Arka asleep with her hands folded on the table, and slumped over her book.

Zahra approached slowly, drawing near to her fast-asleep husband.

"O Allah, my heart is broken.. Again you never sleep next to me, obviously we never have sex again.. Kiniiii." said Zahra in his heart, then stopped because of tears that dripped

"May you be tired, Lily.. Always healthy, maybe one day I will feel happy to be your wife" continued Zahra with his heart

Zahra did not dare to wake her husband, because she was in a state of great sadness. Zahra walked slowly to the toilet to pick up ablution, then quickly put on a mukena.

After praying again his tears were not restrained, Zahra cried so much, a hiccup that he tried to hold by covering his mouth with both hands.

"Oh my God, my heart can't be very strong.. I'm just an ordinary human being, I feel tremendous heartache, I can't hold my heart back yet." Zahra said in her prayer

Arka had actually awakened, because she heard a crying voice with a hiccup. Curiously, Arka peeked at Zahra who was praying in a change of clothes.

"God, why my wife?" said Arka in her inner

Arka was curious, he never saw his wife cry like this. What else did he say was an incredible heartache. Arka kept silent from behind the barrier wall, she kept watching her crying wife in her prayers.

"God strengthen my heart, make me the best wife for my husband, the wife who does not burden him, the wife who can be grateful, and the wife who is able to survive to join my husband.. My heart is strong, O God, strengthen me to continue to be able to survive with my husband, with all this." continued Zahra very softly

The Ark was so struck that Zahra complained to His Lord. Arka knows with all his mistakes, surely all this because he who can not do good to the wife he married a month ago. Arka was so sorry.

Zahra tried to calm herself down, prostrating for a long time on her tongue, while trying to stop her crying.

His eyes were so swollen with tears that he could not stand, Zahra tried to look ordinary, Zahra intended to go to the toilet to wash her face again.

Suddenly he saw Arka who was also going to go into the toilet.

"Darling why are you?" arka asked gently to Zahra who had not yet used her hijab, with her hair neatly tied

"It's okay Mas.." replied Zahra with a forced smile

"Your eyes are swollen, you're crying yaaa?" ask Arka as if she doesn't know everything

"Yes Mas.. We used to confide in God." replied Zahra again with a smile that he forced

Zahra felt strange, Arka now suddenly called her with a call of affection again, what because of pity to see her eyes are swollen.

"Will go to the toilet? Yes, it was just the first.. Sorry I didn't wake up earlier, I saw Mas was very tired." said Zahra trying to divert the conversation so Arka did not ask any further

"Yes dear." replied Arka gently with a sweet smile

Zahra abandoned her intention to wash her face, because her husband already knew. Zahra tried to quickly go back to sleep, so that her husband would no longer continue the question.

Zahra went back to wearing her instant hijab, then went back to sleep with her blanket pulled.

Arka who has finished praying tahajud, intends to improve his relationship with his wife. But baby, Zahra is back to sleep. Arka continued to sleep next to Zahra, then hugged his wife from behind.

"Darling, I'm sorry to ignore you so much.. I promise to fix everything with you, for us" said Arka whispered in Zahra's ear and then slept tightly hugging his wife's body.

The morning sun began to rise and shine high illuminate the city of London.

As usual, Zahra continued to cook, preparing breakfast for her husband, although sometimes Arka rarely for breakfast at home, but Zahra always prepared food supplies for her husband.

"Good morning dear." said Arka greeting Zahra who was putting salad into the container, preparing provisions for her husband

"Good morning Mas." replied Zahra with a happy smile

The food is served at the dining table, the fragrant cuisine is very tempting.

"heeemmm is very fragrant." said Arka while inhaling the aroma of cooking

Zahra is only wide on the Ark, which is clearly visible, because it does not use the veil.

"I'm so hungry, let's come and eat together, baby." said Arka so spoiled

"Let's go Mas.." replied Zahra as she walked over, with a box of supplies in her hand

"That's what, baby?" ask Arka when looking at the supply box in Zahra's hand

"Supply for Mas lunch." replied Zahra while putting it near Arka, then busy taking rice dishes Arka

"Thank you dear." said Arka while rubbing his wife's cheek gently

After breakfast, Arka parted to go to campus, and will return in the afternoon after Ashar, Arka promised.

Zahra also agreed. With a feeling of pleasure, but also Zahra felt strange with her husband's sudden gentle behavior, and warm like this.

Arriving at the campus, Arka immediately contacted his mother. Still in the car, Arka wants to talk to her mother without anyone knowing.

"Assalamu'alaikum Ma'am." said Arka when his phone call was received by the mother

"Dear Walaikumsalam, how's the new bride?" nisa replied while teasing her son

"What is it, ma'am.. Arka wants to ask how the attitude and behavior of the father to the mother at the beginning of the marriage? Please tell Arka Ma'am everything.."

Nisa fell silent, as soon as she remembered the good times and all the behavior of her late husband, Alfath. Until he made his eyes glazed.

"Your father was a very gentle man, Mother did not love your father, but because of his tenderness and attitude towards his wife, made Mother love your father very much. Your father is very following Rasull in loving his wife, he prioritizes the interests of his wife and child, your father is willing to work from home to take care of Mom" Nisa replied with a forced smile

"Why are you suddenly asking like that, son?" ask Nisa wonder

Arka recounted all the events she had seen during Zahra's prayer that night, and Arka recounted her behavior during this time to Zahra, his wife.

"Actually I'm too busy with my business, Mom. I often fall asleep while sitting at the study table, not to mention I always come home late because of my work" said Arka full of regret.

"Oh Allah, my dear, be kind to your wife. She was willing to leave her loving family and parents since childhood, in order to serve the foreign man who married her" Nisa said

"Yes Ma'am, my heart started to knock when I saw Zahra crying like that.. I know all my mistakes." replied Arka in regret

"Son, your dad used to be a very romantic guy. He gave Mom a romantic honeymoon, to be honest your dad used to be more busy, he took care of all his company alone. For example, the Prophet, also your father, so that your family can be happy." said Nisa at length

"Yes Ma'am, Arka promises from now on will learn to be a husband who loves his wife" replied Arka softly as she began to hold back her tears

"This is just my son, fixing all his mistakes.. May Allah bless you, dear.." said Nisa while shedding tears, so moved

"Bring up your work, your busyness in the house, make it while indulging in your wife. Dad used to be like that, even though he focused on his work on the laptop, Mom always sat on his lap, while spoiled, making the wife feel not in cuekin." continued Nisa gave advice

"Good Mom, thank you loyal listener, my best advisor.. I love you Bu." said Arka because she felt very relieved
