Loving Or Loved?

32. Mangrove Forest Happy reading...

The morning sun shone brightly, today was the wedding of Tyo and Sinta. Qiana and her family came to witness a simple marriage and were filled with deep joy for anyone who witnessed it. The wedding of Tyo and Sinta did not last long, only the Ijab qabul event was due to the condition of Tyo who had not fully recovered. After the dhuhur prayer at Musholla Hospital, Qiana invited Akbar and Dafa to visit one of the tourist attractions close to their current location.

Breezy wind hit the body of Qiana, Akbar and Dafa who were walking down the wooden bridge while enjoying the view of the mangrove forest. The scorching sun did not dampen their intention to enjoy a tour in Kota Pahlawan before returning to Jakarta later in the afternoon.

“That's pa?” Ask Dafa while pointing at the large crab near the mangrove root not far from the wooden bridge.

“That crab babe.” Qiana replied, Dafa nodded enthusiastically.

In the mangrove forest in addition there are many mangrove crabs that roam near the mangrove roots, there are also several types of birds that fly back and forth from the mangrove branch to other mangrove branches. There were also some birds standing on the mud with small fish in their beaks. Dafa, who had just seen such a scene, was stirred up and asked questions to Akbar and Qiana.

“Qiana, is Dafa really this active?” Ask Akbar who began to be overwhelmed with the behavior and questions asked by Dafa. Qiana smiled slightly before answering Akbar's question.

“Iya Mas, since Dafa I brought from the orphanage he is a little more active both in behavior and in terms of talking like this. It has been asked a lot with what he met, especially if it is a new thing like this. It's definitely a scene. hehehe.”Qiana replied while watching Dafa who was squatting watching the bird that was walking on the mud.

“I feel failed to be a parent for Dafa, just growing up I do not know for sure,” Akbar said with a face full of regret.

The words that Akbar uttered made Qiana look her head fixedly at Akbar's face that had turned into a mute.

“Mas, don't be like that. You still have time to improve it all and be a father who can be a good example for Dafa in the future,” Qiana said trying to encourage Akbar.

“Yes, Dafa wants in ndong tindi-tindi,” The word Dafa again attracts the attention of the two adults.

“Come, get ready yes,” Akbar said as he lifted Dafa's body over his shoulder, a happy laugh was heard clearly.

“Let's have lunch first, it's past lunch time." Take Qiana who was nodding in unison by Father and son beside her.

“Nda Dafa wants chicken matan, can you?” Ask Dafa.

“Bby dong dear," said Qiana who was greeted with a standing ovation from the tiny hands of Dafa. Akbar just smiled at the interaction of Qiana and Dafa that always warmed his heart.

The three of them decided to go from the tourist spot and find a place to eat that Dafa wanted in line with the way back to Qiana's house. Two and a half hours later their departure back to Bandung but this time Grandma Mira did not come back because she still wanted to linger with her son in Surabaya.

…

This time in the same place, Bu Rima and Mr. Rizal released back his daughter. But with a different feeling, it's much calmer because they know there's someone looking after their child. There is no cry like 8 years ago when releasing his daughter away, there is only hope that when returning this child will come with more and more happiness. Don't all parents want the best for their children?.

“No, Dad. Dafa mauna tama Nda,” Dafa said that even more tightly embraced Qiana's body and leaned her head on her chest, Akbar just shook his head to see the behavior of this child.

“Biarin Mas is okay, after all just one hour flight,” Qiana said while stroking Dafa's head.

“Let's be tired of saying yes Qi, don't be forced Dafa has been heavier because,” Akbar said and embraced by Qiana.

“Oh yes Mas, yesterday Fani called me. Said he killed his fiancee, for being caught turning,” Said Qiana carefully.

“Loh why I don't even know, you really are not wrong horrifying Qi?” Akbar replied worriedly.

“Ihh... Actually Mas, Fani yesterday cried to know Qia phone time," replied Qia.

“Kok I don't know?” Ask Akbar.

“Yes.iyalah Mas Adek people you call me in the middle of the mallem,” Reply Qia, Akbar just beards and think.

“Qia, sorry in advance. Maybe it's too soon for you, but I'm seriously the same as I said yesterday I've also proven to you your family. I told my parents too,” Akbar said pausing his words.

“Tomorrow you come with me to Jakarta, we meet my parents before I want to greet you officially and erratically our wedding date, all you want to see the state of Fani,” Akbar said.

“Iya Mas, but you have to help me make my heart mantepin do not make me disappointed. Honestly this kind of thing for the first time for me, I have never dated and never deket same guy except the twins were also deket sahabatan not deket as a couple.” Answer Qiana.

The key in a relationship like this is good communication open to each other, trust each other, inshaAllah will be fine even if there are pebbles later, will not make us fall for long,” said Akbar.

“Mas Akbar really like to make me confused about how to communicate, sometimes very relaxed kamuan sometimes suddenly changed call himself me, feel his co-worker me this.” Inner Qiana.

“Hopefully Yes Mas,” Qiana said with a smile.

Akbar POVs

Time passes quickly, but only today I can spend time with my loved ones. Arriving in Bandung I separated in front of Qiana's house. I want to spend the night here, but Qia and I have no official ties. May it be made easier in the future by God, in my intention to marry someone as good as Qiana who was willing to bring and take care of my son from the orphanage. It is my duty to immediately make Qiana fall in love with me, with all her heart and sincerity.

Thank you, for reading.
