After nearly four months had passed. Bilal took his wife's afternoon walk to a city park.
Comfortable place with its hustle and bustle. All sorts of food are there. On the outskirts of the park. As the youth gatherings began to arrive. Play with their hobbies at the same time.
Sitting on a chair made of concrete in the afternoon, while a gulali snack. It's very delicious. But, it was not Maryam who ate, but this young father-to-be.
That guy really likes sweet things. Like at the moment. Though they had just arrived, Bilal was already interested in snacks made of sugar. Gulali of that size is even almost finished in his greed.
"Not for?" Bilal asked the gulali to his wife.
"No A. Just finish it."
"Okay–" Bilal tore it up big enough to put it in his mouth.
"You're so fond of snacking now, A'..." Merr asked as she touched her husband's stomach. His lips widened his smile, as if he was mocking.
"Neither understand deh– so rich in excess, gini."
"I'm pregnant, you eat."
"Haha..." Bilal sealed the plastic rope. After that grab the bottle of mineral water on the right side. Pronounce the bismillah before drinking a sip after saying hamdalah. Then go back to Basmalah three times. "A'a weighed yesterday. Up, time?"
"Clearly go up. You're so much now."
"Yes, but not rice."
"Although not just rice, snacking a lot is actually higher calories. Especially her sweet love."
"Let's be, the important thing is to be healthy. Even if the fat is important already sell this– yes, no?" Bilal teased, thus making Maryam chuckle.
"Eh..." Maryam seemed surprised, until reflexes touched her own stomach.
"Why? It hurt?"
"No, I felt a pulsation in my stomach."
"MashaAllah, what's it like?"
"it's a lot of pulsation.that's the point." Merr widens smile.
"Tabarakallah. Could it be fetal movement?" Bilal won't lose by touching him.
"It could be..."
"I can't wait for USG. Kangen wants to see my son–"
"Hehehe, later after the four-monthly event A'."
"Yes, in a minute."
"Emmm– A'a so empty the schedule, right?"
"So Yank. In the morning, I attended one of the invitations. No papa, after all, the show will be afternoon at two. Same night as it's up."
"Yes, A'. No papa. 'emang any show."
"Wah–"
"You're following my advice, aren't you? Lots of tilawah."
"Yes A'. I'm a nurut."
"Alhamdulillah–" Bilal smiled. The two then continued their casual conversation for a few minutes before finally deciding to go home.

A few more days passed, until it changed Sunday. Bilal attended one of the studies plus a seminar at one of the hotels in Jakarta.
The room is large and elegant, with decorations more dominant red and gold. Bilal has already started his research.
Bilal talked about a calm heart. Because there is faith in the soul.
After the study was completed, he then opened a question and answer session written on paper by the pilgrims. After that Bilal will read one by one and then explain according to the knowledge that he belongs.
One question came from someone, whom he wrote about the difficulty of life.
(Assalaminan, Bib. I want to ask why life today is harder to feel. In fact, people are depressed because of their thorny problems. More numerous. Though today anything is easier than in antiquity.)
"MashaAllah, tabarakallah. Okay, I'll answer you directly." Bilal cleared his throat for a moment, then returned to his words. "The words of the scholars are like this; the heart is actually like a body. Need rest. However, the rest of the soul is not like a body that needs sleep. How about a break, guys?"
Everyone in front of him was silent. Some replied with an origin that actually invited a small laugh. Or maybe answer by calculation until their answer is almost close.
"So, the heart just needs worship and an approach with the Creator. What is the relationship of worship with the heart. Well, the Prophet Muhammad once ordered Bilal bin Rabah Radhiallahu to rest other friends with prayer. That is, the Prophet asked Bilal bin Rabah to proclaim the Adhan."
"While the prayer that is able to be a way of resting the heart is Khusyuk! Do you know why that is? because praying with solemn will calm the heart. It can be used as a medicine for a tired soul. However, why has it been getting harder lately, especially in worship? The answer is in a hadith narrated by Tabrani which has the degree of hasan. So the Prophet Muhammad also said; bring the first knowledge that will be lifted from the face of the earth is a special science. Islam has many branches of science. Whether it is about worship, Muamalah, sharia and others. However, of the many important shari'a 2 that was first adopted from humans is the special science. Eating it now is quite a lot among us who are easily depressed, easy down because it was– began rarely people worship solemnly."
"So it can be concluded, yes, the rest of the soul and heart when having the science of keshusyukan. Nowadays, almost everyone has the same problem. Wild thoughts everywhere And we've just been berakbir. So try to improve prayer by learning again the science of khusyuk. To make the heart feel more calm. So that the problem will be like dust to you, so light. Allahu'alam–"
Bilal took the question paper back. For a moment he was pensive, then chuckled later.
"It's a difficult question to answer, yes. From a ukhti or Ikhwan–" said Bilal make those who are there laugh. "Bismilah–"
(Assalamualaikum Afwan Bib. I asked outside the theme. This is about Habib himself, most scholars will find a second wife even up to four. Did Habib ever have any thoughts of remarrying? Sir, Bib.)
Hearing Habib Bilal read the writing, the worshipers responded with a subtle joke.
"Wife has more than one wife, who doesn't want one?" muttered Bilal, joking. Which actually back to invite laughter. "before I answer, to be honest this question a lot into my DM. But that doesn't mean I'm pretentious, because it actually is." Bilal chuckled, of course those present laughed again. "Handest me. Worrying in the house ngunki room. seven days, seven nights will be." Bilal looked down and laughed again.
"Well, can you continue?"
"Can Bib–" they replied although still in the interlude of laughter.
"MashaAllah. It is true that polygamy including syari'at is allowed. Many argue that the Prophet had many wives. But referring to it all, was not previously the Prophet including monogamous adherents? He married Khadijah, and made her his only wife for twenty-five years. His polygamy was only eight years. But why not the longest time in the past?" Bilal pointed to one of them. "Decapted face– any polygamy desire huh, mas? Calm down, please."
"Haha..." They laugh.
"If I were alone, as a man. When asked there is a desire to have more than one wife, right? My answer is definitely there. But back to the responsibility after that. Because of my principle, when one trust is not yet I can be happy and I fulfill his rights for what adds new. I myself do not criticize polygamy, because I do not know in the future what it is. Most important these times, I just think.it is better to have one angel but I can educate well. instead of having more than one but inviting a lot of problems to drag me to hell. obviously, yes–" Bilal threw away the question paper before moving on to the next question.
