Love Because of Obligation

Meaningful gaze

After Sifa left the room with her father and mother, Anwar waited until Aira fell asleep while stroking the top of her head and several times peeping her forehead.

"Rest, may be healthy soon dear.I will patiently wait and take care of you also our baby.." with eyes closed Aira's ears heard clearly Anwar's whisper when kissing his forehead. Aira felt very grateful to have Anwar in her heart but her mouth had not been able to say a word of love to Anwar.

Finally, Anwar's soft caress was able to put Aira to sleep who was still unable to move from the bed.

while Aira sleeps with the baby Rashad, Anwar packs all the dirty old maternity clothes and washes and also hangs them on the back porch of the house.

After Aira woke up and Bu Lela's cooking was ready, Anwar fed Aira. because in a few days even 3 months in the future Aira still could not move to do household chores. Anwar handed over the management of his trading business to Jaka.

*****

Two months have passed since the birth of Arshad. Now Aira's health is starting to stabilize, but of course it won't be as strong as usual. Anwar was so attentive and affectionate in taking care of his beloved wife and baby.

Every day Anwar was always eager to do his duty as a husband standby, wash clothes, change wet diapers Rashad, take food for Aira even to help Aira take a bath and pair her corset.

Actually the mother and Sifa also often offer help to take care of Arsyad. Anwar always refused politely and did not want to burden the family. He only did what he was responsible for as the head of the family.

****

Today is the day of celebration of Arsyad's shower. Where all the family members from the Aira and Anwar parties gathered at the Aira house along with their invited friends.

The event was held in the first two sessions starting at 08:00 is a traditional event where all men sit in the house and then entertained with traditional food after eating there will be one uncle from the brother of Aira's mother delivering a customary speech later closed with a prayer from one of the religious leaders in the village.

After finishing the first session, the invited men came down from home and returned to their respective homes except for some of the closest family who still wanted to talk.

This event is one form of family gratitude for the increase of new family members while previously also held aqiqah event when Arsyad was 21 days old but the event is not as big as today.

Today was a tiring day for Anwar, Aira was also Arsyad because every guest always wanted to see a baby, mom and dad. But no less tired of Sifa and mother who had to entertain the guests.until 09:15 they were lying in their respective rooms after performing Islamic prayers.

Anwar and Aira had entered the room to put Arsyad to sleep. So happy their eyes do not want to sleepy and even their conversation getting late getting warmer and romantic with the position of Arsyad between them.

"Really, this is the day I feel like a husband and the luckiest father in the world, what about you...?." Anwar stroked the top of Aira's head that was covered in a veil and his other hand embraced Arsyad's tiny body.

"Alhamdulillah.yes, mas..." Aira was still groggy and awkward as Anwar looked at her with a meaningful look the past few days.
