Forever Love

Queenza Al - Khanza

Days pass, seconds change minutes. Minutes change hours. The hours change day and the days change month. The life of the Arkana Wijaya family every day is always blessed with happiness. Arkana, who fell in love with Qania and Qania, always loved her.

Their domestic life after the reunion was no day without laughter. Arkana and Qania are committed to mutual trust, honesty and also always share whatever it is, whether the problem or other things as small as it is.

Arqasa, the handsome boy is growing and getting smarter every day. He continues to be happy and impatient waiting for his sister who wants to play with him. He always stroked his mother's stomach and asked the sister in the stomach to speak. He mimicked what his Daddy did.

Qania's stomach grew bigger, but even more so was the care and love that Arkana lavished on her. Arkana was determined not to make Qania cry, disappointed and angry at her. He did not want his wife whom he knew to be so loyal and dear to him even though he had not been with her for a long time until she was sad. As much as possible Arkana always kept Qania feeling. He just wanted to see the laughter and the smile and the annoyed face of Qania. Tears of sadness were not allowed to be present in their lives.

Both parents are very happy to see their children never fight like when they were dating.

“They used to break up a little, a little bit of a fight. Now see them as a halal couple really cool. Arkana also looks very different from the time they were dating. More understanding and more mature,” said Mama Alisha.

“Yes, something very obligatory for us to be grateful for,” said Papa Zafran.

“You are right, I alone who every day with them do not stop being grateful to see their happiness. May until they age and close their household eyes remain harmonious. Hopefully there will be no blame for actors and players in their households. Although I am very sure that there will be no one who can penetrate the defense of their household,” said Papa Setya chimed in.

The three smiled as they looked at Qania and Arqasa playing in the courtyard beside Papa Zafran's residence. Qania is actually teaching Arqasa but by inviting him to play games so that his son is not bored and easier to understand and not depressed because learning is more relaxed and more like playing games.

“Udah understand all Ar?” ask Qania.

“Udah Mi. Ar is tired of playing too. Thirsty Mu,” said while tidying up their learning equipment.

“Wait for ya, Mami take juice first with Grandpa Grandma,” said Qania then she rushed to stand and headed towards where her parents and in-laws were sitting chatting.

“Having finished Qan?” ask Mama Alisha.

“Udah Ma, tired too. But I am happy because Arqasa is easy to understand and quick to respond. He was also tired and asked for a drink,” replied Qania.

“Udah you rest, let Mama who brought Ar drink,” said Mama Alisha.

Qania also complied and immediately sat down with his two Papa while Mama Alisha gave Arqasa a drink.

“You why Nak?” asked Papa Zafran who saw Qania frowning as if enduring the pain.

“This Pa, from earlier Qania's stomach hurts. But a few moments later it didn't hurt. Abis was again sick and lost again,” replied Qania.

“Eh, don't you want to give birth, son?” papa Setya said that made Papa Zafran aghast.

“But the estimated day of his birth is still two weeks away, Pa,” said Qania.

“You better be ready. We're going to the hospital. Papa's gonna call Arkana. Hah the child should be on standby because his wife is approaching the day of labor,” grumbled Papa Setya while calling Arkana.

Mama Alisha who heard their chatter immediately approached Qania while holding hands with Arqasa.

“Let Arkana take delivery gear. Let's go to the hospital dear,” said Mama Alisha worried.

Qania also according to what his mother said.

“Hallo Ka, Qania's stomach hurts and you have to pick up the maternity supplies immediately and we will be going to hospital—“

Tutt ... Tutt ... Tutt

Papa Setya was a bit of a curse once his phone connection was cut off by Arkana. He then entered Papa Zafran's car which was ready to take Qania to the hospital.

While in a different place, Arkana who was looking at their hotel financial statements got a call from Papa Setya. Without answering and waiting for Papa Setya to finish talking he immediately turned it off and rushed home. Hearing Qania's stomach ache made Arkana rush, he did not want to miss a second for the Qania labor process.

Arkana did not even return Bu Ochi's greeting and headed straight to their room to pick up the maternity supplies. Bi Ochi who saw her coming down with her bag immediately understood that Qania was about to give birth.

Once Arkana reached the hospital parking lot, coinciding with Papa Zafran's car which also arrived. Arkana breathed a sigh of relief as she did not arrive late.

Mama Alisha helps Qania out while Papa Zafran holds Arqasa. Another case with Qania, once Arkana approached him he immediately cried and got angry.

“Arkana Wijaya! You don't think your safety is, do you?? You bring a car must be speeding. From hotel to home and from home to hospital in no time. You don't think of me and Ar if you're doing anything on the street, huh? You don't love us? Don't you love your life?” Qania shouted at Arkana with her broken cry. He no longer cared about the pain in his stomach.

Arkana immediately embraced Qania and Mama Alisha relinquished her embrace of Qania.

“Sorry dear, I was too worried about not being next to you when you felt pain. I don't want to miss the slightest time during your labor,” Arkana said regretfully and guiltily to Qania.

Arkana broke her embrace and then wiped away the trail of tears on her cheek.

“Darling, I'm sorry. It's all because I don't want you to go through this alone. You know for yourself I was not with you when you gave birth to Arqasa. That's why I'm like this. Once again forgive me, dear,” Arkana said gently, she stared lovingly at Qania.

Qania embraced Arkana, feeling so loved by her husband. Suddenly he groaned restrained because his stomach hurt again. Arkana who heard it directly carried Qania bridal style that made Qania surprised.

“Arkana, you're nothing at all. I am ashamed to know,” said Qania protest but he could not deny that he was so happy with the treatment of Arkana.

“I'll carry you all the way to the delivery room,” Arkana said then she threw her deathly smile that made Qania not wart.

“Daddy, Mommy, don't have much drama. Let's bring Mami inside,” said Ar who made them all laugh.

“Who is jealous too. Ar just can't wait to welcome baby sister, bwee.”

They laughed again and then rushed into the delivery room.

“Now it's opening seven yes Sir, Mom. Be patient and do not forget to pray. Don't push before your time because it'll just be a waste of energy. If the pain comes, take a breath through the nose and remove it through the mouth,” said the doctor directed Qania.

Arkana, who had faithfully accompanied Qania, could do nothing when his hands were firmly grasped by Qania. He could feel how Qania was in so much pain. The corn seed-like sweat on Qania's forehead was immediately frowned upon by Arkana.

“Honey, you are patient yes. I'm sure you must be strong. You are the toughest woman I have ever known,” Arkana said trying to strengthen Qania.

“Arkana, this is very painful. Very sick,” said Qania.

Hearing Qania say the word ‘sakit’ made Arkana very scared.

“Doctor, nurse, just oeprasi my wife. He really is in this pain. Quickly set up operating room only!” arkana shouted in panic.

Qania who was in extreme pain suddenly forgot about her pain and immediately pulled Arkana's hair.

Arkana endured the pain in her head. He thought that it was Qania's reaction to enduring the pain.

“Doctor hurry. I don't want to see my wife in pain!” yell Arkana again.

Qania released her grip on Arkana's hair and hit the husband's mouth.

“You're nothing, Ka. Don't embarrass me. His name also wants to give birth, yes it must hurt dong! What do you do, make me ashamed,” grumbled Qania who made Arkana speechless with his confusion.

The doctors and nurses in the room could not help but smile. It was so romantic that they saw a worried Arkana while Qania was leisurely tormenting him.

Qania felt a growing pain. He understood that soon the delivery time arrived. The doctor approached and examined the birth canal.

“Good Mom, now it's a complete opening huh. If the sense of straining comes then push and do not let out a sound ...”

The doctor gave instructions to Qania. Qania who has experienced giving birth did not ask much.

The tight grip on Arkana's hands left her unable to hold back the tears as she watched the Qania moments give birth. Arkana did not care about her sick hand because Qania tried to channel her pain to her. He even continued to strengthen Qania and incessantly recited prayers for the safety of his wife and child.

The sound of baby crying was heard along with the Maghrib Adhan in Musala hospital.

“Alhamdulillah, the baby has been born safely and the mother is also safe. Congratulations, sir, ma'am, your son is very beautiful. Let it be cleaned first with the sisters and after that we will do IMD yes. I clean the birth canal first,” said the doctor.

Arkana wept and continued to shower kisses on Qania's forehead.

“Congratulations, congratulations and thank you for fighting to bet your life to give birth to our child. I love you so much and I will always remember this day, the day you fought for my son,” said Arkana who made Qania so moved.

Qania smiled weakly and shed tears.

After the doctor and nurse finished doing their duties, the beautiful baby was handed over to Qania and her family who were outside also directly entered because Qania was moved in the nursery.

Arkana fulfilled her obligation to read Iqamah in the ears of the baby solemnly. Syaquile who witnessed it slightly smiled because he remembered the incident that he was accusing Arqasa at that time because his two grandfathers were arguing.

“Good grandpa's granddaughter is so beautiful. What's his name, honey? Soon grandfather will find you rings, necklaces, bracelets and diamond earrings so that you are more beautiful,” chirped Papa Setya who made Papa Zafran to interfere with him.

“Our newborn grandson has not been an hour you already want to buy in jewelry sets. Crazyhead!”

They laugh too. Qania who was doing IMD also laughed.

“Mi, it's true that Ar's sister is a girl. Ar is happy now and calm too. Because there is no rival for good looks Ar and Daddy,” said Arqasa while stroking his sister's body.

Laughter again sounded from the room heard Arqasa's words.

“Iya darling. You are calm, keep Ar the most handsome,” said Qania stroking Arqasa hair.

“Beautiful sister's name Ar who Mi?” ask Arqasa.

“Queenza Al-Khanza, dear,” replied Qania.

“A very beautiful name,” praise them all.

After the baby Queenza is satisfied sucking ASI, the grandparents were scrambling to hold it. Arkana was only shaking her head because she did not get the opportunity to hold her daughter other than while doing her duty earlier.

Qania smiled happily at the happiness of her family. He glanced at Arkana who was also glancing at him.

“Thank you for bringing happiness to me and Papa, baby. I love you so much,” whispered Arkana in Qania's ear then she gently kissed Qania's forehead.
